[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
I'm aware of that, but again, read allgamer's reply to the OP. Asking him why he got an app from amazon, that android market and a bunch of free apps, and then suggesting another barcode app. All which has nothing to do with the OP's issue which was the Amazon shop app crashing the camera when it's scanning barcodes.

I know. Again I said what I said just in case someone confused the OP (which 1 person did). And yes I use "Barcode Scanner", but if I want to buy something on my phone from Amazon, I use the Amazon app to barcode scan, since it stays within the app and i can buy it from the app (which I have done).... rather than having "Barcode Scanner" go to either the mobile site or full site of amazon in the browser. It's a PIA to buy something on Amazon that way.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Just like what I modified my post to say:

Nuff said. You can't post in a old thread referring to a new app when at the time of the OP and the person mentioned it.. that app didn't exist. So how could he refer to the app store before it was officially open?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
And again, then you did not understand the OP's issue.

The Amazon app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.amazon.mShop.android&feature=search_result

Lets you shop for items on Amazon such as computers, clothes, dvds, etc..

And it lets you scan a barcode form the Amazon app itself, and show you if Amazon carries that item and if you can buy it from Amazon.

That feature will crash the Camera app of the Nexus S and any other app you run on the Nexus S afterwards will say the Camera is not available and requires a reboot.

Nuff said.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
It doesn't matter though. You're referring to the app store before it was even released to the public. You could do that with a bar code scanner app as well, it scans for prices and compares them.

You obviously don't get my point. At the time of the post, the Amazon App Store wasn't released.... so how could he be referring to it? or how could the OP refer to it? IT DIDN'T EXIST AT THAT GIVEN TIME AND PLACE! If AllGamer posted that on or after March 22 then it would be another story. But it was posted way before that.

I know its hard to accept the fact that you're wrong. It's alright. People make mistakes on what they're trying to say, it was just a mis clarification on AllGamers' part but I'm pretty certain he wasn't referring to the Amazon App Store because... like I said, it didn't exist at that given place and time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nxt:
Again, because AllGamer said "why did you get an app from Amazon anyways?"

Then there's 3 replies after that about other barcode scanning apps, so I wrote my

"Also people, he's talking about the AMAZON STORE app NOT the Amazon APPSTORE app.

The Amazon store app lets you SHOP on Amazon. Also lets you scan a barcode and it'll search Amazon for the product."

JUST IN CASE people confused the OP (which AllGamer obviously did)

Also suggesting other barcode apps to do crazy other searches and hopefully get an Amazon link is not helpful to the OP. If I wanted to buy something on Amazon, I simply run the Amazon app and scan the barcode and see if it's available on Amazon then buy it. Why run some other generic barcode scanner app then getting some generic google search url and hopefully find an Amazon link? Or ShopSavvy that has crap store search listings?.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
I told you. He probably misinterpreted it. Just like I'm going to say again, the App Store was not released nor it was heavily hyped or the rumor (if there even was one). So I seriously doubt he was referring to the Amazon App Store.

Bar Code Scanning searches everything from Amazon, PriceGrabber, Walmart, Target.. whatever store. It's not limited to one of them. It searches for the cheapest price available at a verified seller store. So how is this not helpful to the OP? It offers the CHEAPEST price. Who could complain about getting the same thing for a discount?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
Holy crap this is like a Laurel and Hardy skit. Incredible.

How hard can this be.

Edit: no, that's not what she said.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScotchtapeLoser:
At the time of my original post, there was NOT an Amazon App store. just internet rumors.

I was referencing the Amazon STORE app, not the Amazon APP store, which allows you to take a picture of an item or scan a barcode from within the amazon STORE app and check for information on Amazon. Pricing, ratings, etc are available.

My take on the first few replies is that they were questioning why use a barcode scanner to check just one store when there are others that will check multiple stores at once... ie.. google Shopper. While this didn't answer my question it did seem that they understood my reference to the Amazon STORE app.

There was a question posted a few days later about a camera error. Between this post and logcat, I traced the error to a vague mention on how the amazon app calls the barcode scanner as throwing the error. This is a software error, not a hardware error, which I was questioning.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
bumping this old thread. its now fixed in the new version of the AMAZON STORE APP released like <1 hour ago

[HTC Aria Android Development] Javi97100:
Thanks I will try this this weekend
[HTC Aria Android Development] zamula:
Everything works great so far, thanks for posting!

The only issue is trackpad wake doesn't work, just like in the OC kernel posted by Gene Poole. Any ideas?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jznomoney:
I may have posted a version without it I'll fixit today.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
I've been unable to locate the problem with trackpad wake. It is added to my kernel, but it doesn't work with the current froyo 2.2.2 framework. Trackpad wake works with my kernel installed over FR008 so I know the kernel changes are good. I just can't figure out what HTC changed between Gratia an the latest release that broke this.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zamula:
Which kernel of yours does it work with? I installed the hoxnet ones you posted right over FR008 and I still have issues. No problems of course with FR008 with the supplied OC kernel.

Perhaps a reinstall (without wipe) of FR008 and then one of these OC kernels might fix it. I know it's not that huge of a thing, but it's one of those nice little perks I got used to liking.

And I definitely will stick with one of the newer kernels over the regular FR008, because I notice a battery drain (with screen off) of at most 1% per hour vs 2% - 3% with the regular FR008 OC.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
I've got a virgin install of FR008 in nandroid that I use for testing. I installed it with full wipe, then backed it up to restore when needed for testing. Trackpad wake works using 004b:

http://hoxnet.com/droid/update_hoxnet-liberated_oc_kernel_004b.zip
[HTC Aria Android Development] zamula:
Oh I was afraid of that. Do you think a wipe of system partition (not data), plus cache wipes might fix it without doing a master reset/clear? Something I've done along the way since initial FR008 install must be causing a conflict.

When I get time I could always try a clean install, double-check, and nandroid back I suppose too. Thanks again for helping!
[HTC Aria Android Development] tommyguns818:
im running fr008 right now. do i just go into CW and straight flash this? whats new on this puppy? thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] OJsakila:
Trackball wake is now working for me with this flash. All seems well however I'm wondering if the sense weather animations that show when the phone wakes up are functional...? I just cant seem to get the rain drops and windsheld wiper to display..I'll update this post when I see them..

..maybe they dont work when I bypass the lockscreen and go straight to my homepage...?

hmm..turned off NOLOCK so that I would see my lockscreen. Trackball wake does not work that way at all...plus the weather animations still dont show...I have to turn NOLOCK "on" which disables the lockscreen for the trackball wake to work...which is fine with me!:)

Still looking for the animations...

running this kernal with baseband 47.37.35.09u_7.08.35.06 and build 2.20.502.1 cl331188 release keys, software 2.20.502.1
[HTC Aria Android Development] eyeballer:
jznomoney, any thoughts on submitting your kernels for distribution with Kernel Manager? App is now in market and users should be able to flash kernels to their devices directly through it.

Free/Pro

PM me and we can get you set up :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] zamula:
So I finally installed the last update of the jznomoney kernel over FR008 and can confirm trackpad wake works with NoLock.

However, the Gene Poole hoxnet_004b still does not.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
So how would one go about adding aufs to this kernel?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Mr-D-Hakker:
i would also like to know how to put aufs, if it is possible??
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
get source add files that pertain to aufs
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:

I'm jk.

OK. I'll look into it.

Edit: when you say "add files"... does this require coding?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jdwhite87:
Another question...

How would one go about adding a kernel to a rom so that it didn't have to be flashed every time?
[HTC Aria Android Development] drowningchild:
unpack the boot.img and replace the zimage

get android kitchen it has tools to do it :) its in the android kitchen forum here

and just look at the commift for aufs :)

Having problems with my turning my phone into wifi hotspot (have uk orange htc desire hd chocolate). Turn on the portable wifi hostspot ok, my laptop and my archos 70i tab can both find and connect to it ok, BUT it dont work - on the laptop it just says local connection only - on the archos just wont connect to internet. most frustrating. also some problems with the data connection - phone shows the h or g icon and the arrows, but not connection when try browser etc usually works after a restart, but who wants to have to restart the phone every time you wanna use the data connection?

Any thoughts/suggestions?

I ran into the same problem yesterday. I was testing if the wifi hotspot functionality worked, to use my phone for wifi tethering. As soon as I turn on the function, my data connection (3G) is disabled.

Doe anybody know how to keep the data connection after activating the wifi hotspot function?

[Nook Color General] chisleu:
It asks for a pin but the instructions that came with my keyboard don't mention a pin. It says the android device should show a pin that I type into the keyboard to get them to pair.

Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] mcburton:
I am having this problem as well. When I try and connect to a Wiimote or an apple bluetooth keyboard it asks for a pin. Running CM7 on SD.
[Nook Color General] chisleu:
This is how I got it to work:

Pair the device.

Tablet asks for a pin.

Enter 1234 into tablet.

Enter 1234 into keyboard and hit enter.

Paired HID :)
[Nook Color General] magicalsleeper:
Iirc, when pairing the wiimote, do it in the app, not bluetooth menu. I haven't done it in a while so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[Nook Color General] celticchrys:
A lot of devices come with the PIN set to either 1234, as already mentioned, or 0000. Try both. You might also Google your specific device to see if you can find it.
[Nook Color General] chisleu:
My device doesn't use a preset code.
[Nook Color General] Steve White:
Hi I have a similar problem.

This is Android 2.2 and an Adesso Slimtouch Mini Keyboard.

I have paired the keyboard with computers. It works like this in Ubuntu:

Push the Connect button on the underside of the keyboard to make it visible.

In the Gnome Bluetooth widget, "Set up new device", it scans for and finds the keyboard. Click on it, and it prompts with a passphrase to enter on the keyboard. (The passphrase appears to be randomly generated each time.) I do so, and the devices are paired.

On Android, I am only prompted to enter a PIN on the phone. I tried all the usual ones without success: it just times out after 30 sec or so. I scoured the Adesso documentation. There is no mention of a default PIN--it only shows a similar procedure on Windows and Mac, that I used in Linux.

I also tried entering this PIN on the phone, then entering the same PIN on the keyboard. This has an effect: instead of timing out, as soon as I hit Enter on the keypad, the phone reports that pairing has failed.

In fact, the Wikipedia article on Bluetooth seems to indicate that a default PIN is typically used on limited input devices, such as headsets, that don't have an input mechanism.

I also tried downloading a few "bluetooth keyboard" apps. None of them addresses this problem.

What are we missing?
[Nook Color General] sisterchick:
Finally!

I finally got my Dell Axim/Think Outside Stowaway Keyboard to pair with my Nook Color. The trick for me was to put both in discovery mode, type the 0000 pass phrase into the phone and then immediately enter the same thing and hit enter on the keyboard.
[Nook Color General] TheAmazingDave:
Same here although although I use a full eight digit date code. I enter it into Android and then enter it into my keyboard's 10-key number pad and use the number pad's Enter key.

Works like a charm with my Logitech Mx5000.
[Nook Color General] cozboogie:

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jcase:
According to Netflix it requires hardware DRM.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] AlexDeGruven:
As mentioned above. Streaming will not work on any current-gen phone (might on the Atrix, due to its updated hardware).

Netflix is "concerned about piracy" (LOLrite?), and will only allow streaming on phones equipped with the newer-generation ARM processors that have hardware DRM implemented. The current hummingbird and snapdragon processors do not.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] ajd88:
That sucks. Looking forward to the official release either way.

[HD7 General] yiannisthegreek:
Hi,

I have just purchased an HD7 and I really like it so far but I have a question regarding some screen distortion I am seeing when I scroll through menu's, apps, etc...

For example (and where it is most noticable although it does happen in other areas as well) when I go to the applications menu (where all apps are located to the right of the Windows screen) and I scroll through the apps from top to bottom, all the writing beside each app icon becomes so distorted while scrolling (almost static like) that you cannot even make out what the words are saying until the scrolling stops and then everything is ledgable again. Is this normal? :confused:

On my Galaxy S the scrolling does not affect the font / writing this way at all and even on my old Omnia i910 I dont remember seeing this type of distortion when scrolling.

If someone can please advise me on this I would really appreciate it. Is this normal for this device? Does yours do it? Anyway to fix it?

Thanks

yiannisthegreek
[HD7 General] Shadowise:
It's normal behaviour but I'm not sure of the cause. From what I've seen, this only happens when using the black theme. If you use the white theme it doesn't happen.
[HD7 General] yiannisthegreek:
Thank You for the reply. Really? Hmmm... That is odd. I wonder if this will be something that will be fixed in updates perhaps?
[HD7 General] jimbonics:
I use a black theme and this doesn't happen to me at all. Certainly not to the point it's unreadable.
[HD7 General] yiannisthegreek:
Hmmm... Now Im confused... One person says it happens to him and one says it does not.

Do you experience any distortion of the writing in apps, etc while scrolling? It is minimal when I scroll slowly but when I scroll fast it is quite noticable.

PS... I did also try the white theme and it does not do it in the white theme as was mentioned by the other poster... Only in the Black theme. :confused:
[HD7 General] bsipe9:
I guess I'm not sure what the deal is. When I'm scrolling fast, it could be a million dollar screen with perfect clarity and I STILL wouldn't be able to "read" what was there. I mean, I have 20-20 vision and am a pretty quick reader and I can barely read my chat log scrolling slowly. When scrolling fast enough to "distort" you would have to be able to read about 120 words per second (I scroll through three screens worth of text in less than a second, about 40 words per screen). That's 7200 words per minute which is darn near World Record Speed Reading (not counting those who skim most of it and lose a great deal of comprehension).
[HD7 General] Shadowise:
I'd just like to say that it's not a major issue for me, but it does happen. When scrolling the app list, the text does fade out, but I don't really see it as much of an issue as the items are moving so fast that you wouldn't be able to read the text at any rate. As the list is alphabetical, I know where I need to stop, I'm not reading the apps one by one as I go along.

I'm not sure now if the OP is experiencing a different issue but he did confirm, as I have, that it doesn't happen in the white theme.
[HD7 General] yiannisthegreek:
@Shadowise,

Yes... This is what I am talking about and again Thank You for your answers. I also really notice this when using the People Live Tile and especially in the synced Facebook listing. The text DOES fade out and the smaller the text the more faded it seems to become. Again... This is in the Black theme.

Also, I have noticed while in the People "hub" when scrolling from side to side that the screen itself darkens / dims out while scrolling and it also DOES this in the White theme as well. Is this also normal behavior?

If your not sure what I am talking about then please go into the People tile and just hold your finger on the top of the screen (where it says people in big letters) and slowly slide your finger and you will see the screen darken / dim out as it scrolls - unless there is something wrong with MY device in which case you may not notice what I am talking about.

Please let me know if this happens to you and if this is normal as well. Again... my Android does NOT do these things and so I am not sure if this is normal behavior.

Thanks in advance...

yiannisthegreek
[HD7 General] jimbonics:
My screen absolutely does not do this. The people tile actualy looks sharper than the apps screen, regardless of how fast I scroll. The screen does not dim out _at all_.

Black background.
[HD7 General] lynxz3:
It happens over here as well this is due to Motion Blur, the quality of screen used by HTC is poor and this is a known issue with the HTC HD7 and HTC Surround. HTC should have used a better screen specially for its flagship device on the Windows phone 7 platform. But i guess thats the main reason they didn't; the platform is new theres no need to increase costs for a niche emerging market.
[HD7 General] yiannisthegreek:
Ok... I am confused again... One answer says that this absolutely DOES NOT happen to him and another answer says that it DOES... LOL!!! :confused:
[HD7 General] microhaxo:
This happens because of the 4.3" screen. It's not the best screen in the world. The 4.1" dell venue pro screen never exhibited this behavior and when I switched to the hd7 I noticed it immediately.
[HD7 General] djpianz:
It's called response time, it's not fast enough as some other screen, basically it's more prominent while using black theme because it takes full response time (i.e. 8ms) for a pixel to change it colour from black to white and then to black again while you scrolling.
[HD7 General] yiannisthegreek:
The funny thing is that the more I play with it the more I notice that this only really happens within the stock Microsoft OS apps like People, Zune, etc. When I scroll through other 3rd party apps such as Facebook (actual app and not the synced version in the People tab), FIM (Facebook Instant Messenger), among other 3rd party apps that this fade out / distortion does not take place.

Anyone else find the same?

EDIT... I have confirmed the fade out / screen distortion to again seemingly only to be affecting the Microsoft stock OS apps again after going into Marketplace, Office, (along with the others mentioned above). It does not seem to affect 3rd party apps... Facebook, FIM, Yellowpages, YouTube, etc.

Again... Anyone else find the same or can check?
[HD7 General] Shadowise:
We're not talking about the whole screen, just the text.
