I'm running Windows 8.1 Update 1 on my laptop, but whenever I come out of standby, I have to go to the device manager and disable and then enable my Wi-Fi card. I have tried updating the Wi-Fi card to the newest version I could find. Later today I'll post the computer model and the Wi-Fi card when I get home.
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
That's a KNOWN issue if you are using a Dell Venue 8 Pro. I've done numerous Windows updates and driver updates from DELL's webpage, but this doesn't resolve the issue. I simply reboot the unit when I need to re-connect. The issue is an intermittent one for me.
[Windows 8 General] lordgodgeneral:
I'v seen the same problem with my Asus Vivotab Note 8. If it's been in standby for very long, once you wake it up, it'll show connected, then will change to limited connectivity. The only way to get it back is to turn wifi off then back on.
[Windows 8 General] procitysam:
OK so my laptop is an older one, the HP Compaq nx9420 with the Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG network adapter. I know it's an old laptop, but when I was running just Windows 8, not 8.1, the connection was fine after standby.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
What wifi device is actually in use on the venue 8 pro and the vivotab note 8? Wondering if there is a pattern.

I myself havent had this issue in windows 8.0, 8.1 or 8.1 update 1 on an HP sleekbook using the qualcomm atheros AR9485
[Windows 8 General] Anonymously_Unknown:
My DV8P is using an Atheros card as well for WiFi
[Windows 8 General] procitysam:
Well my laptop was shipped with Windows XP preinstalled, so its a pretty old computer. It runs Windows 8.1 almost seamlessly though, the only problem I have is lag in the start screen (avoided as much as possible) and this Wi-Fi adapter problem. If needed, I can post a screenshot of the driver information/version.
[Windows 8 General] procitysam:
This is the driver version and information for the adapter.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Dated 2010, I presume you have tried updating/checking for newer driver revisions?
[Windows 8 General] procitysam:
Yes I have tried to update my driver, this is the latest that I could find, there may be newer ones though.
[Windows 8 General] procitysam:
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to do this, but the thread is now essentially closed, I got a new laptop over the weekend, the Asus F200CA. Thanks for everyone that posted and helped me out.

Very nice app.

Just a suggestion: after ocr , the app propose to share the recognised text with an app like mail message ... insteadof to have the possibility to save the text with the scanned object and to have possibility to paste the recognised text into office app.

[Android Apps and Games] GRYMALA:
Hi Philippe,

Thanks for your feedback. Thats true, saving recognised text together with the scanned image is currently out of the scope of presented functionallity. It would be very helpful if you could describe how you see it. We are very opened to accept suggestions/recommendations from our users. Feel free to submit a Feature Request.

Hello Pave

Some problems I met and I would like to share:

1) the grips for modifying an image (crop/sale/perspective) are very small and often my finger press/click an icon (ocr/ upright- or scale/crop/perspective-down left)

2) when I modify a picture (filter or* crop or scale...) in order to enhance the success of ocr-ing text or just scan the interesting part, I apply filter, crop,...but after It's impossible to save the modified picture.

And when ocr is launched,* all the picture is scanned despite it was modified before.

3) please display the the active langage on the ocr icon. Long press on the ocr icon swipe the langage.*

4) When I press on save, app answers nothing to save even I modify a picture!

So it's difficult to understand the save feature:

-Save original picture?

-Save modified picture?

-Save for transforming into pdf? So why not have a icon 'scan pdf' in order to pdf-ise directly

-Save recognised text?

I send you several crash report of you

Best regards
[Android Apps and Games] GRYMALA:
Thanks for sharing, Philippe

In the same order you have asked:

It is not neccesary to press grips at all, app detects the closest grip to your finger and then you just move it as you wish. Just position your finger somewhere near the grip and try to move it. You will see that it works even though you are not pressing on the grip directly. We hope this is more convenient to user, than pressing exactly on the grip

This is strange. It works on all of our testing devices. Can you please describe the exact order of operations to reproduce this bug?

Ok, we will think about that

Save button in this window should just save ANY changes you have applied to the image. It appears beeing related to second problem you have mentioned. Can you please describe the exact order of operations to reproduce this bug?
[Android Apps and Games] phvo:
Hello Pavel

1) it's OK. It's just question of training...but it's not evident for the first time.

2) OK I understand:

a) you click on edit then

b) you can modify the picture (crop/scale/perspective) with your finger. In order to 'apply' your modifications you click one more time on the crop/scale/perspective or filter icon.

c) then you can save definitely the modified picture.

But you lose original picture! May be it will be interesting to keep original if you want to do modifications later *on the original picture.

3 ) OK. Super!

4) related to 2). I sugest : Press on save icon saves modifications or results of the moment => If you modify the picture it saves the modified picture , if you do ocr, it saves the recognised text, if you pdf-ise a picture, it save the pdf. For the original picture, I suggest that it saved by default.*

I suggest also that in the "new document" view, you can see the original picture in a small vignette (as actual) but you can access (long press /swipe) to all saved objects (modified picture/ ocr text/ pdf / jpeg) related to the vignette.

5) After OCR, the app propose directly to share the result of the ocr process ! But may be, before sharing, I want to check the result of the ocr process and correct letter / sign /word that wasn't correctly recognised. So, I suggest before sharing the result of the OCR process, that the app :

a) shows the recognised text in first,

b) allow to corrects mistakes, (==> learn feature from mistakes and correction)

c) save the results

d) and then share

Note : when you share an ocr text with some app, the app opens but the ocr text didn't paste (cf memo app on note 2 - KK 4.4.2).

6) Same suggestions with transformation in pdf or jpeg : after pdf process, the app directly propose to share the pdf / jpeg with external app. But before, I want to check if the pdf/ jpeg is OK before Sharing. I want to save the pdf / jpeg in order to use it later. (the pdf appears in the RecentPages directory). So why not to display it in the new document view of the app ?

[Android Apps and Games] GRYMALA:
Hi Philippe,

It is good to hear that Save button actually works as it should. Regarding your comments:

yes, when you press Save button after you have edited image the edited version will be saved and replace the original one. We think about adding a new "filter", which will revert all changes and switch the image to the original picture.

We have thought about that as well, this behaviour will be implemented in one of the next versions

Well, it is a good idea itself, but we thought that one would prefer to correct/modify text in some existing text editor. So, at the current stage of app development, we would prefer to include support for different text editors rather than coding our own. However, we will keep your suggestion in mind.

Can you give a link to the app? We will test

Actually you can open PDF for preview before you send it. Check Options and set "Open PDF" to "On".

Regarding JPG: In the main ("New document") window press on the picture icon, it will open another window where you can preview or edit image again if neccessary

Regards,

Pav
[Android Apps and Games] phvo:
Hello Pavel,

"about adding a new "filter", which will revert all changes and switch the image to the original picture"

==>instead of "cancelling all changes", Why not just offer the possibility to cancelled sellectively the last change in order to choose the best change + a possibility to compare with the original picture in order to decide if the current change is the best chang.

"Well, it is a good idea itself, but we thought that one would prefer to correct/modify text in some existing text editor. So, at the current stage of app development, we would prefer to include support for different text editors rather than coding our own. However, we will keep your suggestion in mind. "

==> the problem is not if I can modify ocr text with embeded or internal editor but to hav possibility to check (with internal or external editor) the result before sharing !

On my device, when the OCR process ends,I have just the choice to share the results with an extrenal app like mail, gmail, MMS or SMS, and so on... So I can't check the results of the OCR process before I "share" it into a third app. In other word, I have to share the results of the OCR process, then correct the result directly into the app I have select to share the result of the OCR process.

"Can you give a link to the app? We will test" ==> memo.apk, a samsung app

[Android Apps and Games] GRYMALA:
Not going deep into details, there are some technical limitations to achieve that.

Thats true, but all of these apps usually have 'Share text' option, dont they? Our main idea is just to allow the user to use recognised text in other apps, where he/she can edit it and then share.

We are working on a new update already, i'll post a message once it is out :)

Pav

Suggestions for new features for a scan app

I would like to share with you some suggestions:

1) Until the bug isn't solved: when download langage pack, dysplay a short message "wait until the langage pack is really installed"

2) after "ocr " ing a text : the recognised text should be saved "as a note/comment" with the scanned text. Then I could :

-paste the recognised text into other app like office app,

-share quickly with an other app: mail, message, note...

What so you think about these?

best regards
[Android Apps and Games] GRYMALA:
I do agree, this should be improved

I think it makes sense to save recognized text and to associate it with the image.

We are currently working on the update to include some improvements discussed above. There is lots of work, plaease understand that its challenging to add new features immediately. However let me reassure you once again that we always keep suggestions from our users in mind and are constantly working to make the app better

Regards,

Pavel

Update to 1.1.12

Hi Guys!

New version is out :) Whats new:

1) New filter button has been added which allows to revert changes

2) Interface improvements: long click on OCR button to switch language, less ads

3) Minor bug fixes
[Android Apps and Games] phvo:
Hello Pavel

I understand that there is a lot of work and I will be patient and wait for new version.

I have an other suggestions :

3) sometimes, ocr-ed text are scaned from news magazine.* But the article presents the text in 1 or 2 or 3 column. I think that it will be a great feature in ocr - ing a text if it was possible to set the number of column corresponding to the scaned article.

4) possibility to recognised text from a pdf.

5) to be able to scan code bar or qr code...

6) add a feature to scan and recognised quickly mail address, mail, phone number., url, ...from visit card, poster, advertising, ...

I really appreciate your attention to my suggestions.

Best regards

I'm planning to downgrade my Galaxy S4 SHV-E330S from 4.4.2 to 4.2.2 hoping that my battery life will be fixed (only 3hrs of screen time). I was told that I have to backup my EFS so that if anything goes bad e.g. Losing my IMEI, i can recover them. Please teach me how to backup and restore it surely and safely. Thank you very much!

[G Pad 8.3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djleez82:
Hey guys, Ive had an issue that I just cant seem to fix.

A friend of mine has an LG GPad 8.3 like mine, and it has TWRP custom recovery with one of the new 4.4.2 w/root flashable firmware US version. He made the mistake of going into Backup and Reset in the settings menu in the OS and selected Restore Device to factory settings, and now Its locked into a permanent TWRP boot loop. I've tried everything I know including flashing numerous other ROMs, formatting virtually everything you can format in TWRP. Even after a new rom is successfully flashed, and you factory reset and everything else, upon reboot it will only go back to TWRP again. Over and over. Is there any way you guys can think of that can stop it from going into recovery and click into the proper boot sequence again? Cheers

I've tried to charge with 30%~ 40%, with my phone turned on, which i always do, everyday... And don't charge at all.

I've tried to charge it turned off, but keeps repeating that screen with the battery with a circle(and a rumble), then this repeats over and over...

Is my battery dead?

Hi..first try removing the battery from the phone for about 10 secs and put it back in and see if that will help, because the battery should still be in a charging state even if the battery was not that good as this has happened to me on other samsung phones, and if not better re-install the rom you have, but make a backup first if you can..worth a try before proceeding further. :)

I have the latest stock rom installed, so, i don't think it is a rom issue. Besides that, how can i re-install it if i can't turn my phone on? Now i have something 1 or 2% battery life =/

I've tried to remove the battery a couple times, 10sec, 10min... nothing seems to work. Since i have warranty, i'll have to use it, the problem here in Brazil, specially in my city, the service takes forever(3 to 4 weeks =/)

Oh okay I didn't know you could not get into the rom or past that battery icon..then most likely a port problem forsure..did you try another usb cable to just make sure. :)

Edit: when you have your usb cable unplugged from the phone it should still boot into your rom as the port has nothing to do with that part..what does it show on your screen when you boot the phone without the usb connected. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bb2htc:
This happened to me last month on my 10 months old Mega. It was driving me crazy. Phone was charging just 10% / hour (as opposed to 60%). I tried charging with other chargers but result wasn't different.

After much research I came to know that my phone did not have any of the following problems

- ROM (stock 4.2.2), my phone was going into good deep sleep etc.

- Some app (I factory reset my phone to rule that out)

- My charger (I used others')

- My USB port (I always use wall charger)

The problem was with the freaking charger cable (weird right?). I took my friend's charging cable and used with original charger and my phone was back on track.

I still have to buy a new cable. Just researching to get a good one (weird again).

Hopsin444 Saved Me and My Phone.

Okay, so I just this moment joined the forum JUST so I could thank Member hopsin444 for this advice. Just as he guaranteed, it was the charging port. After getting his advice, I downloaded the PDF User Manual for the Galaxy Mega (my phone). I did what another member suggested and unplugged the battery for 10 minutes (just to be safe). I plugged it back in, and used the brand new charger and cable that came with my phone. I had been using a different charger, so I wanted to get a brand new clean start. Sure enough, the battery started charging immediately, good as new. I must say that in order for this method to work, you must insure that all components are in working order: battery, charger, and cable connectors. Because, otherwise, it's hard to debug exactly which little part is the culprit for the problem.

Once again, thank you ever so much hospsin444. You saved me a lot of cash, trips to the repair shop, and untold headaches.`

Update: The phone charge from 66% to 70% and then stopped charging again. I'm thinking it's the little slot -- on the phone itself -- that the charger cable plugs into that is the problem. My only option now is to take the phone to get repaired. But my thanks to hopsin still applies. It was fun while it lasted.

Similar problem. . . . grey battery issue ( can get around by using reboot command either in download mode or stock recovery ) i have 2 batteries and one still has a charge, replaced usb port ( NEW BOARD - $15 on -ebay) but no love . . . . when i power off it sits there with the grey battery icon and kills the battery. it is NOT recognized by computer and does not recognize a charger ( i have lots and they are all good wires and blocks ) ordered a wall charger and can use it but no USB at all

Any help or ideas are welcome

completely stock

never dropped, wet or abused just stopped working right!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] GnexManVSR:
Exact Same issue

Your not the only one, this just happened to my Mega at the end of July and i replaced the port just the other week and still nothing. Only way it charges is if it was off...i cant charge it while its on, the battery depletes itself and on top of that i can't even use my portable battery to charge this phone. The cable has to only be a Samsung issued cable and that doesn't even make anything better. I'm just going to officially retire this phone and get me another phone

(Third Galaxy phone model.......and my LAST)

Replace USB port Had the exact same problem Phone would charge then not

I had same problem replaced USB port now phone works perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] GnexManVSR:
I figured out two other reasons why my phone was charging poorly even when I replaced the USB port 1. The charger wire was weak (yes it is a Samsung USB wire) and needed to be replaced. I wasn't getting enough power from the outlet to the phone and it would stay at a percentage for 30 minutes or longer and 2. There was a Low Battery Dump setting that was off (similar setting like the SGS3 and SGS4)

But one thing that now gets me is why I can't use my portable battery to charge anymore? Nothing is wrong with the battery (it charges all of my other electronics with no problem)
