Ahh yes, a Motorola Q webmaster's trade secret...
Although it's not the greatest (or easiest) way to get screenshots from your Motorola Q, it works just fine until someone makes a program decent to use. Here is how I get screenshots from my Motorola Q:
- Download Windows Mobile Developer PowerToys here (it's the second of the two to download on that page).
- The process works in two parts. First the host (your desktop PC) and the client (your Motorola Q).
- Make sure you install the host program on your desktop PC and run it first (you might get a CPU error but thats okay). Also, be sure that you have Microsoft ActiveSync up and ready to go.
- Click on Start and then run, then type this in: C:\Program Files\Windows Mobile Developer Power Toys\ActiveSync_Remote_Display\devices\smartphone\ wce400
- After you connect your Motorola Q to your desktop, hit explore and copy the armv4 folder to your Motorola Q (i.e. Program Files).
- Run CERDisp2.exe from your Motorola Q in File Manager.
- You'll see an "About CERDisp" dialog box with no buttons (since they are cut off but it's okay). Just press the center nav key to continue.
- Now you should see an icon in the upper right and corner indicating that the remote control client is active.
- Select the Connect button and then select the OK button to connect to the host.
- Voila, you should now see your Motorola Q's screen on your PC.
- At this point all you need to do is use the ALT-Print Screen keys while the Remote Control Host window is active. That will capture the screen to the clipboard.
- Fire up your favorite graphics editor and paste and crop the image to size (320x240)
- And there you have it, a Motorola Q screenshot!
Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope this helps!
