Frustrating that my Infuse has such difficulty scanning those barcodes you find in magazines...occasionally it works but most often it just continually tries to focus.
oh well...tried cleaning the lens but suppose not much else to do?
I suppose this is a case of some infuse's work fine, others don't.
If you hold it too close to the QR code it might not work.

Which app are you using?

@OP: Its not just on sites online, I even use the bar code scanner when in stores too, directly on the item in shelf, on clothes, and lots more. And each time it works perfectly.
QR Droid and mobiletag.
The times it does work is in stores. Maybe it's the magazine?

Make sure you have good lighting and are not to close to the code itself. I've never had a problem except when it's been too dark. And like an earlier poster, I use it quite frequently.
Try Barcode Scanner v3.53 out of the market and Google Goggles
There's no need to get the phone right up against the magazine. QR Droid is the best scanning app I've used and it's worked flawlessly for me even at off-angles and in crap lighting. Can't say enough good things about QR Droid.
QR Droid is a quality app. Very powerful with a lot of options.
I find myself using Barcode Scanner more often only because its ready to scan immediately and most of what I scan is real world through the camera.

I use barcode scanner as well and never have any issues at all. Always scans barcodes and qr codes within a couple of seconds max.

I set my default actions in QR Droid accordingly and then create a shortcut on the home screen to the "Scan barcode with Camera" activity in QR, so I have instant scan-and-go.
Try ShopSavvy. Been using this for a few months now with no issues. Gives good price comparisions too when checking out stuff in stores.
I use qr pal and it works for most except when the codes are tiny it does have problems. Lol I do want to add that I stopped because I never scanned anything useful

I'm trying to make my tablet the camera and my phone the viewer. One of the kids are sneaking in the room and taking money that isn't theirs. I downloaded IP Cam Brie Viewer Pro but non if the Web cameras I download and give Mr the IP number it's using is working. I want to be able to have my Galaxy 7 tablet up on the dock charging and when motion happens it records. I can't find anything that works together. If the camera does what I need the viewer and other viewers don't pick it up. Does anyone know of anything that way we can get the proof top punish the right one? A motion detector camera app with a working IP viewer? Again my Galaxy 7 tablet will be the camera and my Tmobile One will be the viewer. Thank you all that can help.

agree with camera pro :good:
On my Jailbroken iPhone I was able to download an app that took a picture with the front camera and sent it to the email of my choice every time the wrong password was entered to unlock the phone, the photo came along with the GPS location of the phone and time.
Is there anything like this available for us

Cerberus is the most popular anti-theft app for android. It should have the feature you mentioned.
Coming from a Galaxy S3, the only thing I miss about my old phone compared to Nexus 5 is the camera app / functions.
One feature in particular is the ability to pause the video recording and resume recording the same file. On Nexus5 I have to record numerous short videos and then stitch them to a final video. I gave Camera Awesome a try and it looks great for taking photos, but it doesn't have the pause video recording functionality.
Anybody tried a decent camera app that has this specific function ?
Anybody ?
This cannot be a Samsung only feature, I'm sure I have seen it on other phones
Google is working on a fix for the camera, I would just wait for that. It should be soon.

Thanks. I tried to install it and it fails. No error message, just says app not installed.
I downloaded this from other sources but still refuses to install
Hi
I have purchased a Nexus 5 recently. I am facing problem with the front camera. Camera app doesnot shows the option of using the front camera as if it was not detected. So I downloaded other camera apps from google play store. No app seem to detect the front camera. Plz help. Any help apart from sending it back to google?
