[Q] Camera Questions

Is there any way (hack) to make the camera shoot in 16x9 format?
Also, any way to have the camera upload automatically online (smugmug, in my specific case)?

I don't know about forcing 16x9 with the camera...there's probably third party camera apps that will let you.
For the automatic upload, there's an app called Tasker that sounds like it will let you do stuff like that. Modaco tweeted this just today:
Tasker IS the most amazing app ever. Whenever I think 'I wish I could do THIS' on my phone it has a way. Brilliant.

Thanks.
I looked at Tasker, but in the brief evaluation period I could not see a way to auto upload to smugmug, so i uninstalled it.
But I found an app named PicPush, which does exactly that: it pushes pics and movies you take with the phone to various sites, including smugmug.
Does anyone know of a good camera app which would do high res 16x9 photos, and also has a decent set of options? I didn't find anything I liked on Market.

Brief evaluation period? You mean the 15 minutes from the Market?
There's a week long eval period if you download and install from the dev's website. Moot point for you since you found another application, but others reading may be interested.

I was one of the first SGT testers I guess (the nagging guy on the market)
Yeah it is absolutely worth the few bucks too! (works with megavideo pro accounts etc, awesome!)
But BSG TOS is mixed up with the new one... boo ^^

Slingbox need specific hardware to work and the app slingplayer cost 21€ on android market.
Tv shows stream lite is free, the full version costs 4.99$ and no special hardware is needed. I whould say its a better deal. Just my opinion.

Yes, it works outside of the US. If a video is missing it means it got removed from the site it was hosted, try a different one. Also sometimes certain sites have the wrong episode ( lol at Psych).

I emailed the devs last week and offered some suggestions. One of them was to alphabetize the favorites which they said they were working on and would be available on the next release. Along with that was a request to be able to backup those favorites like you can with bookmarks. The last two suggestions that I had were to be able to have the program automatically be able to scan for new shows with notifications and to highlight or indicate in some way in the favorites section that that particular show has a new episode. The last two suggestions are features that can be found in an app that I use frequently called dogcatcher.
Anymore suggestions guys? I know the devs read these so post them here if you have any. I really love this app so I want nothing more than for it to get better and better.

hi,
You are right, we are reading this forum
In next update bookmarkts will be alphabetically ordered. The update has not been released yet because we are finishing a minor fix that is taking more time than expected.
We are also preparing a special surpurise that will come in the next weeks. More info soon.
You can leave here suggestions, be sure that the developers will read it.

Love the app - could you please put the title or episode number of the video somewhere on the cropped screen too? Sometimes when the video stops in the middle one has to search again...
Overall I am very happy with what you guys made :.)

Hi guys,
thanks for updating the app, it's really comfy with the new sorted bookmarks!
but could you please make the announcement for the new film streamer optional, like in with a don't show this again option for the paid app?
thanks for reading this!

I am a convert. This is a great app! I still love my slingbox but have been watching this more lately.

This is a great app. Most shows work flawlessly.

Yes, I agree. Please make the announcement show up only once rather than everytime or at least include an option to have it not show anymore. Otherwise super app.

out of focus
Dear friends,
Thanks a lot for your interest in Phereo!
In fact, I need to confess that there was a problem with upload from O3D: photos were not out of focus, but image was uploaded with swapped channels (left-eye image went to right eye and vice versa). It feels like out of focus maybe.
We have resolved it on server side - so now images will go right way without app update. Unfortunately, we can't do anything with images already uploaded.
We are sorry for the inconvenience - and kindly welcome you to stay with us!
Kind regards,
Vasily

After the last update it works just perfect,almost as good as when i look on own O3Ds screen. Thanx Phereo team.
PS.Is that any way to delete old uploaded pictures, those I first uploaded before the update are still shown out of focus?

REQ for phereo
can you give as an option to save a picture? that should be very great.
thanks for this nice app.

Well i found out that all the pictures
you see on phereo are stored on the phone self. You have to change
permissions than you can see the images in gallery.

Where is this cache folder?

Love the ability to view and share 3D but I seem to have a problem with the app no one else has mentioned, all pics (even ones I take and upload) show with a lot of interference like lines across them as if a lot of almost invisible bars are in front of the pictures.
Any idea why this is?
Regarding the account creation error I also had this, yet when I checked the email address I had specified I still had a confirmation email and can log in with no problem. I think the app quits when the username you choose is already taken.

They have a download option in last release, but it doesn't work in full-screen view. It works only in gallery preview mode.

Yes, it is the only disadvantage right now. I hope they fix it soon.

iAnnotate lite now available on Samsung market

Just went to the Samsung market and saw the app. They have released only the light version which they are saying will be updated from time to time.
For those who don't know what the app does, it's a well known app that was released for the Ipad / phone and is used to annotate pdf's. Current version seems limited but works well with the S pen.
Once it has all the features, this will probably be the best pdf annotation app available unless Soonr Scribble can beat them to it.
Enjoy!

Just noticed this today.
It's a good idea to peek at the samsung store every now and then since you can sort by newest apps.
It's quite interesting there's no full version in the market.
I guess it's sort of a beta test?

I agree, I think that they are testing the water with Note owners to see the level of interest and then will decide how much to charge for the full featured full version. This app was originally advertised as available for the Note and soon changed to 'Coming Soon' soon after the Notes release.

Thanks for the heads up! Checking this out now.
Not bad. I can open a PDF from email, sign it, and attach it / send as email.
No palm recognition though. That may be Soonr's best quality....

Wow, didn't even know that the Soonr app had palm rejection, thanks for that, also noticed that Soonr is pressure sensitive.

EzPDF has nice annotation built in.

Woohooo ! Finally! Been waiting on this for a long time now!

I'm trying to find the iannotate apk to give as a valentines tomorrow and I can't find for the life of me. Tried to trick the market into thinking I have a Note, but that didn't work and I ended up bricking my phone. Any help as to an alternative source for the app?

EDIT: All were sent with annotations. I was just doing view in google docs, which the annotations will NOT show. Now does anyone know where to change the email sig that attaches from the app "Sent from my Tab" and to deltete docs within the app?
Has anyone been able to send the marked up pdf's with the annotations intact? Everytime I send them the pencil writing doesnt show up in the sent document. Ive been taking a screenshot then cropping them, which is unnessecary. Is there something I am doing wrong?
(I was trying to send back a missed signature form, so if it worked perfectly It would have went better and not pissed off my GF)

[APP] Scare App | Record your friends freight. Testers needed!

Hi All,
This app allows you scare an unexpected victim and record the “evidence” using the device's front facing camera (if available).
While there are many “scare your friends” prank apps on the market, this is the first that allows the user to record the footage (and share with their friends via facebook and twitter)
I would appreciate if you could test this app, and send any feedback to [email protected]
Attached is the free version APK, but if you would like to try out the pro version, send me an e-mail and I will send it to you.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

Looks like a good idea, I'll give it a try.

While I appreciate your effort, I was not frightened in the least. If I could share the capture here I would to prove it.
When I clicked on "play scare" all I got was a blank black screen.
Might work on small children and the elderly though. ;-)
Sent from my A500 using xda premium

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry it didn't scare you...but then again you knew it was coming, so there wasn't really much shock.
..maybe if you scared an unsuspecting victim, you might get more fun from the app!
As for the black screen, I assume the app detected a front camera and turned record on!?
If you have a chance to have a go again, try playing around with the video record settings (like turning off Custom Record)
The defaults settings work on most devices that i've tried, but not all
Thanks again

Hi Guys,
I've just released a new version of ScareApp to the market (and attached)
Some users have informed me that they are having trouble playing back the recorded video.
Could somebody PLEASE help and test the following...
Using any of the "Scare Options" and recording a scare
1) Does a thumbnail show a frame of the video on the screen after the scare (the one which has HAHAHAHA at the top and the play button(s) at the bottom)
2)on the play screen, does anything show? If not, can you click menu and see the options there, and does clicking on the screen cause anything to happen?
2) check if the video plays when looking at it from the "Saved Scares" menu (top left button on the main menu)
3) check if the video exists on the SD card (should be under [SD]/scareapp/videos) and whether it plays from there
4) check if a recorded video plays with different configuration (try turning ON "custom record settings" and changing the resolution and framerate)
(also, don't forget to note what device you are using!)
If you would like a (licence free) copy of the PRO version of the app, sent me a DM with your e-mail and I will forward it to you.
Thanks in advance...I appreciate the help!!
Regards,
Mark Bond
