Camera Fix and it works

[Zippster]

Scanning QR pics though via barcode scanner doesnt seem to have improved much for me.

I've found that holding the camera further away then I would think would be appropriate helps. It actually picks up the QR codes better from a distance then if I fill the scanning window with the code. Try putting the camera further away.

Just for the hell of it, I printed out a random QR and barcode scanner scans it instantly, just wont off my monitor....weird, anyone hear or have any issues like this?

I am using a Samsung 22" widescreen LCD.

Well just answered my own question and will post my results for anyone else having the similar problem. Seems the droid does not like my real high screen resolution on this monitor, I simply dropped it back down into the 800x600 area ( yuk...lol ) and it scanned off the screen real fast.

I have no idea what "QR's" are sorry, I'm new to all this since the 6th.

I did download shopsavey and like it much better than barcode scanner however. While the database is sometimes limited, its much smarter and serves my needs more for local searches and scans "very" fast.

Does anyone know why the focus pans back and forth when using shopsavy or barcode scanner or keyring?
Seems like it would just focus and be done with it?

QR are those funky codes you scan for apps, some of the mods here have them for avatars too.

What app do you use to utilize these?
simply taking a picture does nothing.
Using a barscanner app does nothing either.

If you scan one with the barcode reader, it DOES do something. They can be a phone number, a link, a market location, a message, etc.

LOL!... I just uninstalled that because shopsavey did a better job... looks like there is one feature it doesn't do.. guess I'll have to redownload it...

Seems I did scan one once before with it and it took my to a url.

thanks.

I just read this entire thread. I've been off the boards for a couple days. This was so entertaining.!!

So happy we know what the problem is now.
