Just wondering what is the best barcode reader app for the HD2, I've seen a few but not sure which is the best one.
I want it to also be able to price compare and show the best place to get an item.
+1!
I haven't found a good one, yet. The only one that way works in an acceptable way is the German one WOABI.
if you meen the square barcode then "I-nigma" is good and free
I use Mobiletag, it does work (I tried it on a book, a box of tissues a can of soup and a dvd) to name a few things... They do seem to be upgrading it too, so time will tell how much better it gets.
But it is freeware and it does work on the HD2
hope that helps

the problem with mobiletag is that it doesn't have an integrated camera app and it doesn't shoot automatically like Quickmark, so I have problems in getting the barcode recognized. How does it work for you?
After the upgrade from version 2 to 3 it works fine
You run the app, then tap anywhere on the screen, it opens very quickly with your own phones camera
Holding your phone in Portrait mode only (it doesnt work landscape) focus the barcode in the centre of the screen so it all but fills the screen left to right, and wait for your phone to focus on it (usually about 2 seconds) in general if it looks clear to you on screen the app recognises it too...
Dont try and take the photo, you dont press anything when its in the camera part, once it sees the barcode thats it
It makes an odd sound and goes back to the reader again and done
(an odd point, I cant get it to work when only have a 3g connection, it seems to need a HSDPA connection)
Have another try with it ozkaya

you know what?? it just worked!! thanks a lot for your suggestion, I was trying to take the photo myself while in landscape mode, now all is fine
btw: it works for me with wifi and landscape as well.
edit: this must be one of the best apps for WinMo, it correctly identified almost ALL of my CDs.

Yep sorry, it works in wifi for me too
Just installed Synergy JB and have noticed that there is one finger zoom in here where you basically slide up and down on the edge of the screen and it zooms in and out. I see people with the note II have this also so it seems it may be a Touchwiz JB feature but I haven't seen a way to turn it off. It's nice but would love to find a way to toggle it. I already checked display, accessibility, and motion controls with no luck and it zooms in any app that can zoom.
If I remember correctly E actually put the GNOTE 2 camera in that ROM so what you are seeing is that actually camera... As far as I know the only way to change that would be to flash a different camera.... HOWEVER.. I do have the NOTE 2 camera on mine also and can pinch to zoom or use the volume keys so there may be different versions of that also... But anyways flash a different camera and that should do the trick

Well its not just the camera it's in the browser, wikipedia app, and others
I apologize.. I swear the post said in the camera app.... I know he pulled a few .APK's from the Note 2... All I can suggest is check the settings for the individual apps... You could also try and download a different browser and try that... That would help narrow it down if it is something "Overseeing" the ROM or something specific to certain .APK's....
anyone find a fix for this...it's happening in my browser now and it's killing me?

What Scroll Bars?

With all due respect, you may want to look at your screen and take note of the fact there are no scroll bars.
I understand that we are creatures of habit, and as I have been using the GUI, with Scroll Bars since the first Mac (1984) I too tend to use the edge of the screen to scroll, but the truth is, it is a Phone, not a Mac, not a PC. It has no scroll bars. Scroll slightly to the left (or to the right-so to not disenfranchise left handed phone users) or 1/4 of the way across, or 1/3rd, or 1/2 or 3/4 quarters, etc. etc. etc.
Anywhere you'd like. It's a Phone, it's a touch screen. No mouse, no ability to tap in the scroll bar and have the screen advance. No way to position your mouse over the up or down arrow, and have the screen scroll smoothly without any other movement than you holding down the mouse button.
It's a Phone. Get it?
Anyway, what is really infuriating is that Samsung put this feature on the phone, didn't tell anyone, until people started complaining about it and reporting it as a bug, and then rather than either tell people about it, or add the ability through a Setting to disable it, in a new release of the software, the morons simply took it away.
So let me ask you, if your phone came configured with the setting disabled by default, but gave you the option to enable it, try it, see if you liked it, then said, nah, and turned it off, would that have been best for you and guys like me who depend on it all day every day to be able to use my Phone with one hand?
I think the answer is obvious.
Samsung, you are laughable, amateur software developers.
Thankfully we have XDA.
Now I just need one of you on here to figure out where in the heck it is hidden so you can make me a build that includes it with whatever else is in the latest releases.
You see, Android is almost entirely "Hard Coded" so it is not something the average user can just go "teeak" , like following the step by step instructions of someone to simply "Hack" the Windows Registry to make it the way we like it.
All the more reason Samsung is so pitiful.
Hi all,
One of the nice things about the S-Pen on the Galaxy Note line is that the user can turn off the dot on the screen that appears beneath the pen if you don't like it. On my Surface Pro I find that STUPID dot quite annoying when I am trying to ink, but MS in the wisdom has decided to give us no way to turn it off.
I am assuming their must be a Registry Hack that allows users to control this behavior. Anyone have an idea?

I may be wrong, but there should be an option to remove visual feedback in desktop control panel. Might be under Touch or Input or Pen or something like that.

Sadly there is not. You can removed the pulsating dot that appears beneath a touch, but you cannot turn off the pen cursor.
When I put the device on to any insulating surface such as pillow/bed/couch/table I cannot normally operate it. Touch is being interrupted very frequently. This means in practice that I unintentionally press links while sliding through web pages, it is impossible to organize icons (since icon is dropped quickly), pinch-zoom is difficult, unlocking the device is hard, when text-typing it often doubles the letters etc.
Problems goes away as soon as I plug the charger, or take the device in my hand. This looks to me like a grounding issue, which was annoyingly present in some of OnePlus One and Nexus 7 devices in the past. Desperate users were hoping for a software update to solve the issue but it never came out.
Is anyone else experiencing similar problems with Mi 4c? I also tried flashing different MIUI versions, nothing helped.
Here is a video demonstrating the issue (you can enter hardware test menu by calling *#*#64663#*#* and try it by yourself):
I tested, mine is ok
I never really use my phone that way but out of curiosity, I tested it. Can confirm, issue is there. Touch screen goes crazy when scrolling facebook posts, chrome browser, possibly anywhere until I lift the phone up.
Just noticed that I needed to tap and scroll up/down harder than I used to otherwise I would miss it and the scroll would stop halfway through and will tap on whatever it is on the screen when it stopped.
Basically when I don't tap hard enough when doing the scrolling gesture, that's the time that the touchscreen goes crazy
works proper at my mi4c
I had the exact same problem. It is a defective screen. The problem started appear for me after 3 days of use, so I returned it to the store for an immediate exchange. I am not sure if you are in China or not, but if you are, you can just walk into the store and get a new one on the spot.
for me works perfect
Works ok on mine
Works fine here...
I can't even get the touch test started, running cm12.1, dailing *#*#*2664#*#*does nothing, as well as no other I've tried tested

Try it with some app. For a single-touch this one is just fine: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tsaysoft.touchtest
It draws a continous line and if you lift a finger (or if you have faulty screen) the line disappears.
To test a multitouch function you can play with: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.the511plus.MultiTouchTester

Thank you, I'll try those.

Mine is working as expected as well
found solution(the grounding problem is still a thing but this makes it less of an ass)
1) root the phone or just use the developer rom from xiaomi
2)then install Pimp my Rom from google play and grand root
3)go to tweaks-> touch-screen & display-> multi touch amount
and put it on 5.
Hello,
Yes. As a proud owner of one (unfortunately defunct cause I dropped) nexus 7 2013 I can confirm that the behavior is the same... Definitely a grounding problem.
When you leave the phone on a pillow or couch without holding it,bthe screen response is erratic. When you hold it or attach charger.. No problem.
Still beautiful device (the 4c), especially for the price. Snappy.
And smiu is very good made. (not a fan of miui roms...)
This happens only on 16gb version? What about using a plastic case? Does it solve the issue?

I have the 32/3. Same behavior. Not tried wit a case..
i have also found another touchscreen problem, multitouch on sides doesn't work, here the video

Does anyone experience an issue on lowest 1/2 cm area of the display when using S-Pen? It's a hit and miss experience when drawing or clicking an interface. I confirmed it by testing S-Pen using *#0*# .
Please see video demo below.

Before testing, I switched nav keys to gestures.
Step 1) I have tried what you showed in the video and if I draw anything at the bottom, no issues, but if I draw your pattern, then I see the same thing as you do.
Step 2) After testing, I went back to nav gesture settings and there is a setting called "Block gestures with S-pen"(just search in settings) and after turning it on, the pen seems to work much better in the: Step 1
That looks like a defective unit, mine doesn't do that.
*#0*# is not user mode. Please try on user mode and see if same thing happen or not
