Hello,
Does anyone here have a problem with verification in various applications via QR?
Yesterday I couldn't activate the bank application via QR. (I still haven't activated it) I thought there was a problem with the app. However, today I have the same problem with the Viber application and others.
I start the scanner, I point the camera at the barcode on the monitor (I tried several monitors) and nothing happens. I tried manual focus, nothing helps.
Well thank you!
I'm facing the same problem on my Pixel 6. I had resorted to taking photos of QR codes, enlarging them and rescanning them via secondary display.
Last week, suddenly, everything started working when I scanned it from afar, without trying to fill the scanning rectangle with the code. Start from afar, move in slowly, and it would scan 7 times out of 10.

it doesn't work for me at all. I had a similar problem on other devices, it worked as you say, but not at all on this phone.
Is manual value entry an option? As in entering the value manually that in encoded in the QR?
Some apps do, some don't. I solved the bank's application by entering the text manually. Anyway, it's quite annoying that it doesn't work.
I use Google Authenticate as a two-factor authentication tool. When transferring phones you export and import the 2FA information using a QR code displayed on the old phone, and scan it using the new phone. I mention this because I had no problem scanning this QR code using my new Flip4, scanning from the screen of my old Samsung S21. These QR codes are pretty dense. So I don't think the Flip4 phone has a problem, per se.
You probably know this, but also, check the Camera settings as there's a check-box to enable scanning QR codes.

I also use Gauth and it worked for me there. I have the scan QR function activated in the camera. I also tried clearing the cache of the camera... nothing helps.
Just set up an act on Microsoft Authentication. Grabbed qr code before I even aimed camera at it!
Are you sure that your camera doesn’t scan a single barcode? Try to scan different templates of barcodes and see if it works with some. I’ve seen cases(not to Z Flip) where a camera works with some specific barcodes only.
Go and create a free QR code(not a dynamic, but a simple one); insert a simple URL and generate a couple of QR codes with different templates. Try to scan each and see if it works with some(there’s no reason not to work with all). But, if some of them work and others don’t, then it’s certain that your camera is having difficulty with reading specific QR code templates, and most likely you’ll solve this annoying issue by factory reset.
However, if you don’t want to complicate things just use the Google Lens app to scan(probably the easiest way). Hopefully this helps.

Thanks, but this won't help me.
Reading QR codes inside applications does not work for me. It works for me through the photo app.

i need an app that can remember barcodes. i want to make a database of products i need to avoid for my son (e-numbers etc) and thought it'd be really handy if i could scan the barcode of a product i need to avoid and store it so that in future i could scan the barcode and see if its stored and i need to avoid it rather than creating a long list of product names.
any thoughts? thanks
I believe ShopSavvy keeps a history of barcodes you've scanned.
Yeah, ShopSavvy remembers the barcodes you've scanned. However, I don't think it gives an easy way to compare a new scan against what it has in memory. I don't have a better suggestion though :/
I think I saw an app once called inventorydroid or something like that. Perhaps a Google search of it will give you what you are looking for.

3Banana Notes keeps notes of barcodes you have scanned. Why not give it a try?
I know this is late but
My Collection Pro maybe its lets you keep an inventory of what you scan and though it is meant for a library type application i think you could use it here, it will let you input your own info to come up when the barcode is scanned again.
btw it says pro but its a free app.
I have ShopSavvy installed and it worked great when I was in the US. I'm in Brazil now and need a barcode scanner program that lets me create my own database. I want to catalog my Blu rays, books and many other things. Would also like to be able to create shopping lists and price comparisons to be able to track prices on certain items from week to week. Anyone have a recommendation?
Like this?

You might try Memento. It's a little confusing at first but I used it to do basically what you describe and it worked well.
Does Barcode Scanner keep starting and running in the background like Shopsavvy? If so, I'll switch.
I use "My Collection" i got off the market, I have all my games, and movies in it. What it allows you to do is scan the UPC code from the back of your Game, Book, or Movie and pulls the box art, and other data and stores the information on your sd card. Amazing app. You also must have "Barcode Scanner" installed for this to work.
Thanks forHelp
Thanks for the suggestions.I already started scanning my Blu Rays.

Anyone able to help me out on this?
When I use Barcode Scanner with My Collection it does not stay open. When I use it alone it does stay open. I think for shopping Shop Savvy is better.
I was actually only looking for something to scan QR codes... I just learned that Goggles scans them... so I just uninstalled Shopsavvy. Thanks though...
com.ixellence.ixmat.android.community uses the same library but offers a resizeable preview window and scans even more barcode types.
So upon a fresh factory reset you'll notice the very first screen of Setup Wizard (the screen with the little dudes painting and whatnot). If you tap the middle of the screen 7 times then you actually are sent into a different "hidden" QR Code Setup. It will ask to connect to the internet and then download the Camera app or QR Scanner app and then put you into camera mode and wait for you to scan a business QR code. Just curious if anybody else ever found this or know how to use it. I'm guessing that it's probably something like MDM (Mobile Device Management) for corporate iPhones/iPads but I have no idea.
Anybody got a spare QR code that I can use to mess around with that part of Setup?? (No, normal QR codes do not work and yes, I understand these QR codes are for businesses so please don't just reprimand me for asking.)
have no idea about what you are talking
Try this:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...erator/gcmhlmapohffdglflokbgknlknnmogbb?hl=en
This is what I'm talking about.
I've never used it, but this is a cool find! The QR code it's looking for probably points to a custom "image" used for setting up new devices - that way the IT department doesn't have to manually configure every setting.
I could see it being used to automatically disable features, set up VPN, corporate email etc.
mine does the same thing but keeps showing couldnt install qr reader. need help urgently.....
This is for usage with Mobile Device Management, and won't work if you don't have that set up with your company or have a managed device.
This isn't for end user usage.
I cannot find any relevant results on Google search for this.
I know all about scanning a QR code that I can focus my camera lens on such as a piece of paper etc.
If the code is an image that resides on my phone I cannot figure out any way to scan that?
Where this came up was related to a product with a download for an APK related to the file and the dumb asses did not provide any actual URL just a QR code. But it's on the cell phone screen. So how can I scan a code that is on the screen of the phone either on a web page or a downloaded QR code as an image file?
Is there an app that allows me to actually browse to a web site or to an image to be scanned and not require being able to point the camera at it?
Ideas?
I had the exact same issue and there didn't seem to be much of any info about how!
The simplest way I've found is to screenshot the QR code and open it in Google Photos. Then let Google Lens scan it. (Very bottom, third icon on the right.)
I've tried this on:
Pixel 3a XL on 11 (Stock)
Pixel 2 XL running 11 (Stock)
Moto X4 with 9 (Stock)
MotoXPure2015 running 9 (LineageOSv16 w/ Magisk)
It's worked on each of these phones. ymmv

[EDIT] Just checked on a Samsung Note 3 stock 5. Works.

Hello, try (Lens) by google.
Hello all,
I'm looking for an advanced security feature for my S21 Ultra without success; I'm reaching out to you, and hopefully, you'll have a working solution or thoughts on how to achieve my goal.
The problem:
My phone, like most, has a password manager holding all my accounts credentials, secured notes, crypto wallets, bank applications, and so on; although the phone protected by pin code and fingerprint, it doesn't solve the case of being forced by a law officer or worse, by gunpoint to unlock the phone.
The desired solution:
If any of you are familiar with the Nano Ledger (cold storage crypto wallet), they have implemented a "secret wallet", especially for the case of being forced to enter your pin code by bad actors; it works in such a way you set two different pin code; when using the first one the wallet has one amount, but when using the second pin code the wallet has a different amount, obviously, the bad actor has no idea you used a pin code that gives you access to $100 worth of crypto. In contrast, the other pin code would have given access to a million dollars worth of crypto.
I'm looking for the same behavior with my phone, meaning, if I use one pin code or fingerprint, I'll be logged in to my regular user settings and applications; however, if I'll enter a different pin code or fingerprint, I'll be logged into different user settings and applications.
Many thanks to you all,
Best,
Ram
I don't know an app with this feature. But you can use another (hidden) profile for this.
The "Shelter" app for example uses the built-in Andoid workprofile to run apps in an isolated environment, separated from the apps in the main profile. You can also use (a copy of) the password manager here.
You can easily disable the workprofile and enable it again.
It will not be visible for thiefs or police. Only forensics or persons with some IT-skills that are aware that you are using the workprofile would easily find it and try to force you to unlock it.
