Make sure USB Debugging is turned on with a green check mark beside it. Select it, then select the Development option. Once in Settings pane, navigate down to Applications. Press the " menu" button on your Android device and select the Settings option from the list that appears. Make sure your phone is turned on and unlock your screen. NOTE: Some of the screenshots were taken at different times, so the clock's reading may not be in chronological sequence.

You need to make sure USB Debugging is checked on your Incredible before you can connect it to your computer with the provided USB cable (everyone should have one). I simply named mine Android SDK and threw it in my Applications folder. Then move it to a location of you choice, for safe keeping.

Then you can rename the zipped folder to whatever you want, if you so desire. If the file hadn't unzipped automatically (mine does), unzip it and wait for the folder to appear nearby, which should be aptly named android-sdk_r06-mac_86. When the download finishes, find the saved file on your computer, which should be named android-sdk_r06-mac_86.zip.

The only thing you need to know is that you need Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later using x86, which basically means any Mac computer with an Intel processor (sorry PowerPCs).Ī download box will appear. Ignore everything else on that page, because I read through it thinking I had to follow the "quick start" directions, but only got more confused.

Go the Android Developers website and click on the Android SDK for Mac OS X (Intel) link. Step 1 Download the Android SDK for Mac OS X Though these instructions are for a HTC Droid Incredible, it should be a fairly similar process (if not identical) for other Android phones. Getting Screenshots from the Droid Incredible NOTE: I am using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.6.4 (Snow Leopard) and the HTC Droid Incredible with the Android 2.1 firmware.

But eventually, I found some helpful advice, and want to share how I finally got screen grabs from my HTC Incredible. Now, the Java SE Software Development Kit is for Microsoft Windows, Linux and Solaris operating systems only, despite that half of the how-to articles I looked at claimed to work on Apple computers, too. I did find a lot of websites that gave instructions for an easier option, but they all seemed to be geared at Windows users (I'm a Mac user), and they all required downloading the Android SDK and the Java SE SDK. And for me, that's above and beyond my degree of expertise (which is basically nil). There are no applications that can take screenshots of the Android operating system, unless you have a "rooted" phone. That's how far I've come in one week! But much to my surprise, it was no easy task, at least for me- a smartphone newbie. So, after nearly a week of playing with my new HTC Incredible, I had a yearning to take screenshots of my Droid's screen. Then I saw the HTC Droid Incredible and fell in love. So, I went to the nearest Verizon store and played with the new Droid X, but could not get past how big it was. Maybe answers at my fingertips is a good thing. Maybe it was time I embraced cellular technology instead of snubbing it. But when Verizon Wireless unleashed the Motorola Droid X in July, I had a change of heart, I had to go check this thing out for myself. And my previous two mobile phones, an LG Voyager and Motorola RAZR, did just that.

The only thing I wanted to do with my phone was talk to my family and text everyone else. All you needed was a pocket-sized mobile device to get answers from, to think for you, to tell you what to do. These are just some of the questions I asked myself.įor the longest time, I thought that owning a smartphone was counterproductive to ingenuity, that tackling life's simple problems no longer required sharp thinking, knowledge and experience.

Wasn't that what my computer was for? Do I really need immediate access to the web? Must I update my Facebook every hour, from the palm of my hand? Do I need turn-by-turn directions from Google Maps when I have an actual map in my glove box? For me, the idea of a smartphone with internet access was overkill for a cell phone.
