That's a good application. Still, you should think about how it might be abused. You really don't want someone to sue you for millions 'cos their kid downloaded an app and then did something unimaginable with it.

On a more positive note to the users on this forum who want to try our app which is already on the Store, if its not working for you, do check out our facebook page

facebook.com/gear2cam

Or our twitter handle [MENTION=2715074]gear2cam[/MENTION]app

We know there is an issue, it is documented and we have been working on a fix.

If you just turn off device security for now, the app will work.

Geritt, the purpose of my app has been photography and will be photography.

If the purpose of your app is baby monitoring, you can think of other innovations such as cry detection, motion detection during sleep, etc.

Anyways, I know you have been active on this forum for long so obviously users from here will support you over me. If I remember correctly this forum underwent a overhaul in 2008 and I had to re-join. That's why you see no other posts from me.

Still. I was quite upset when you accused me of plagiarism.

I hope there is space in the market for two good apps.

Cheers,

Varun.

I also invite all users to read our Privacy Policy (top right) on gear2cam.com

With an app that uses the camera, it is advisable to have a privacy policy. I know Geritt is a developer and his intentions are good, but what if he wasn't?

What if he posted photos you took to a secret website and held you to ransom for them. That is why you should always look at the Privacy Policy of an app that takes photos. It is important! The Privacy Policy tells you exactly what data we use, how we use it and how it is secured.

These things are important.

Actually, we've never tried on a rooted phone with custom ROM. Do other connected apps work? The app shoes fine in the Gear Manager? If you could drop us a line on support@gear2cam.com that would be very helpful (it'll create a ticket we can track).

Can you elaborate a bit more please. What excately do you mean by turning the device security off. I am not sure if i can switch off my entire device security on / off on my SamsungS5. Or do you mean the Lock Screen. thanks for clarifying.

[Samsung Gear 2] henklbr:
Turn OFF device security for your app to work correctly?!?

I'm wondering what Samsung is thinking/saying about this!

Due to the fact, that you can only use your app with a FaceBook-account AND your suggestion to "turn off device security for now, the app will work", I reported your app to Samsung!
[Samsung Gear 2] AnderlR72:
Come on! I know that Dutch complain in general a lot but reporting reminds me of deporting. The app got approved by Samsung. Otherwise it would not be in the Samsung Store.
[Samsung Gear 2] xmkz522:

could you wright app with revers function?
[Samsung Gear 2] NZ_Nitro:
The other app needs to change its name, but considering the values are you not making into something bigger than should be?

[Samsung Gear 2] Hielko:
I will wait for the next release, I really don't want to share my fb contact list with an app. And why should I trust the app privacy statement, it's just words. Glad that you are willing to change the login method.

By the way: there is now an app called gearcam in the store also.
[Samsung Gear 2] gav83collins:
wow dude sweet as fcuk, since the lockscreen security bug fix, its now working on my rooted custom rom, device, awesome, thankyou
[Samsung Gear 2] :
Thats awesome to hear gav! Can you tell me your device and ROM so that I can write about it on our Facebook page (if that's ok with you).

Also, can I mention your name?
[Samsung Gear 2] :
Gear2cam

It's not like I want to purposely fight over a name.

I knew that there would be confusion among users with two apps with almost the same name.

This is already happening.

Now I have:

1. Domain name - http:/www.gear2cam.com

2. Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/gear2cam

3. Twitter Handle - [MENTION=2715074]gear2cam[/MENTION]app

4. Youtube channel - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiWFdVgafLZiVRJ8W9lfsaw

5. Facebook app - The ID that lets you login with Facebook

6. Support page - http://support.gear2cam.com

7. Email Addresses - support@gear2cam.com

I have already established that the first online appearance of the Gear2cam brand occurred on the 11th of May which is before the other application (see WHOIS record of gear2cam.com).

I just thought its more practical for the other app to change its name. For me to change the name is a humungous effort given all the assets I own with the Gear2cam brand name.

Anyways, I wont insist. May the best app win. Name change or not.

[Samsung Gear 2] gav83collins:
Fight fight fight lol lol jk. Yeah agree with you. Even having the domain name alone. Will win you the race. Google statistics will very soon bring your app out on top with searching. I know ow development can only go so far. So as long as you keep newer devices supported. Your sure to be found first and tried first. Will help if you google your own app. Repeatedly from different locations and access points. And select your own.

Jesus Christ: you are behaving as a little child! "May the best app win!"!

How many times you'll repeat yourself overhere? Once is enough, don't you think?

Fact is: if your app was the 1st (you claim to), then "the other app" COULD NOT register that name at Samsung Apps!

Your app is different than "the other app", and by the way: there's a 3rd app with almost the same name in Samsung Apps now!

his repetition aint worked for you has it, your here *****ing at him, and announcing a 3rd, behave, you ever heard of grammer,

gear2cam

gear 2cam

gear 2 cam

gear.2.cam

etc etc etc

with or without the (app) there all different

can all be registered in samsung app store,

hes making a fair comment/request little or big, a brand is a brand, arguing for rights as a lawsuit, or as a gestured request, ownership of the originally created brand, is still ownership. didnt your momma ever teach you, you aint got nothing nice to say, dont say anything, leave the guy alone, hes put a lot of hours and effort into branding and affiliating his app

Gav Collins has been helping test this on custom ROMs. His advice:

"Still nothing. All I would suggest is dont waste anytime trying to get the gear 2 connected to the s3 in 4.1.2. Im giving up. Ive tried everything. And spent about 9 hours trying. And im no noob lol. Advertise on ykur support page. Update all devices to latest android versions before complaining or seeking support. Will help you alot I think.

[Samsung Gear 2] zoltar99:
Installed 1.1, working fine now. Would be great if you could add a 'spy' mode in a future version where the phone screen stays off and you only see the camera on the watch screen. Also, is it possible to switch between front and rear camera? And is it possible to store images in watch memory? Just some ideas...
[Samsung Gear 2] :
Zoltar. While we love to listen to customers, there are some legal requirements to consider as well.

For example, did you know that in Japan, it is mandatory for all camera apps to play a shutter sound?

http://www.wired.com/2008/07/pervert-alert-j/

Its a fine balance for an app to strike between usability boundaries and legal boundaries.

Since we have released our app in several countries, we must obey a union of the sets of laws applicable in various countries otherwise,we would need to do different releases for different countries.

I just muted my Note 3 and clicked a picture. There was no sound. It is easier for smaller companies/individuals to ride on the shoulders of bigger companies.

To achieve your objective (of silent shutter), try muting the sound of your phone. I am sure Samsung would have taken care of legal requirements for playing a shutter sound when the phone is silent in countries where it is required.

By the way, the rest of your ideas are great! Keep them coming.

But that didn't work!

There is no point in displaying a 13MP image on the watch. I tried saving a scaled down 320x200 image into the gallery folder on the watch at the following path:

/opt/usr/media/DCIM/Camera

(this is where the images taken using the watch's camera get stored).

It doesn't show up in Gallery.

Then I ran, the content scanner:

tizen.content.scanFile(scanUrl);

But, it still does not show up in Gallery.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slayso:
Hey Guys,

First post on here I have read the site alot though, I've rooted and installed CM yadda yadda from the help of this site. Otherwise complete n00b hence the willing to pay thing.

OK FIRST IS FIRST, I AM THE OWNER of this phone, I can verify that by taking a picture of the background which has my girlfriend on it and then another picture with me and her and then another picture with me writing on a sign XDA Developers or whatever. I bought the phone new so am Only user of it.

OK the story. There is a very intimate home video me and the girl took on the phone. Now after that i changed the pin because didnt want the house mate (who knew the pin) stumbling across it (Phone was only used for home as I swapped hands for a Blackberry q10) so the phone went away as I got a playbook for free with the phone. ANNNNNYWAYYYY we have moved and now living in Thailand (formerly Australia) and we wanted to watch ourselves in action or unaction :P . Now I cant for the life of me remember the PIN ive tried everything for days and days on end.

Now I have done a bit of research, because Im in Thailand now, I have no Internet access on the S4, so downloading that app from the Play Store is out of the question. I read it was regarding a different phone that you could use odin install cm then backup data or something along those lines. I would like clarification from someone or if someone is willing to spend 10 minutes on skype running me through it i'd happily pay for their time. I dont want to risk loosing all my data, especially the vid :)

I suppose another question would be can i do a backup through odin without installing cm that i could transfer onto sd? All the current data is on the device (No SD installed) or is there a program you can run that would trick it into thinking its got its old password (the one im sure of)?

I'm sure I could find a thai expert on phones but wouldnt trust them with my data in hands reach.

I appreciate your help in advance, and if this is not ok for public discussion I would be more than happy to receive a PM.

Like I said I can verify my identity and proof of being the owner :)

Thanks for your quick reply! really appreciated. But I dont think it applies to me, To be honest I think I flashed back to stock or a lite rom, It seems to be telling me that from the start up screens:

Recovery:

Android system recovery<3e>

options are

reboot

apply update from ADB

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache

apply update from cache.

And When I press power and up I get

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x1

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
If it's only the video you that you want then do this:

Flash a custom recovery true Odin. Like this recovery if you have the i9505 http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/182

Select wipe > factory reset (make sure to pick the right one or it will wipe your sd)

Reflash the rom you want.

If you don't pick the wrong option in the recovery then you still have your data on your internal sd card.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slayso:
Ok, so by selecting wipe > factory reset would it not restore to factory everything, including the data and video.?

I dont like the chances of "if you dont pick the wrong option"

If you could be a little clearer Lenny I would appreciate it, delicate situation ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
If you have TWRP recovery then you can peform a factory reset. If you go to the wipe menu you see it's stated there: (not including internal storage).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aamirx27:
You dont need any custom rom, just flash TWRP Recovery or CWM Recovery, Flash the SuperSU, then use AROMA filemanager.. no need to factory reset

Since your Phone has KNOX 0x1, warranty void, go ahead and flash the above mentioned files..

Flash via ODIN http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/i9500/openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-i9500.tar

It's simple if you want backup ur data. You dont need a PIN for it:

1. Flash a STOCK ROM through ODIN.

2. Power ON ur device till the Bypass screenlock (wait 15 seconds).

3. Conect ur phone to the PC through the USB conector.

4. You will receive one popup window avising u what u wanna do. Select OPEN FOLDERS.

Hi, new to CM11, since yesterday (M7), I have a question regarding the utility or non-utility of installing Juice Defender on it.

In the past I mainly used it for the programming (night/weekend) and it's abaility to easily put it on silence, airplane mode as well as the "sur-dimming" for looking at the mobile when it's dark.

Ly question now is, does JD still work on CM11, meaning reducing battery usage as well as the mentioned schedule/programming options or can CM11 do both better/easier (or are better apks around)?

thanks for the feedback,
