If what you want is to capture a complete web page, a chat or an application with "scroll" on your Motorola DROID X ME811, even if this function is not yet incorporated into Android, you can do it if the operating system is updated to the latest version since Motorola has incorporated it into its layer of personalization.

To take a screenshot with scrolling on a web page, a WhatsApp conversation or any other application of your Motorola DROID X ME811 take the screenshot with the method indicated above, when taking the screenshot the capture will appear and the screenshot menu for a few seconds at the bottom left.

Before it disappears, click on "Scroll" icon and wait while the scroll is made on the screen, capturing all the content.
