How to capture a full page in Motorola DROID X ME811?

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 scrolling screenshot of a web page, WhatsApp conversation, or any other app on your Motorola DROID X ME811, use the method described above. Once the screenshot is taken, it will appear along with the screenshot menu for a few seconds in the bottom left corner.

Before the menu disappears, tap "Scroll" and wait while the screen scrolls to capture all the content.
