Motorola Camera Update

[PereDroid]

Works perfectly on our very convoluted business cards. Our IT Manager (me, duh) had an idea to put QR codes on our business cards with contact info. Scan *Click > Add to contacts. Works great. It makes the QR card pretty messy, but every reader I test works great with it...including the new Moto one...

I tried two different codes for ads and websites yesterday and both read within a few seconds

*Tip Don't zoom in to the point where the code takes up the entire screen.

Look at this janky code:

/EDIT/ Pic I wanted the first time. That was the range where it snapped in about 3 seconds. I'm sure lighting is a factor, but again, NOT full screen. I think generally smaller is better.
Pic didn't turn out quite how I wanted. But that was the distance at which the code registered.

Have you ever seen such a tightly packed one? BTW, app is MILES above the options my old, now removed, QR code reader gave me.



The old one was pretty much "OPEN - SAVE TO CONTACTS". I can click Call? Email? Map? Very cool.

I installed the update but my Turbo isn't seeing the QR codes.

Glad to hear ... well sorry didn't want to wish you anything mean !! but mine was/is doing the same thing sometimes or just giving me a option (as in the one I posted above ) just to "copy" and not tell me anything about it. or it takes a long time to read a bar code ( at first I thought it was because I was trying to make it read the bar code off a bottle of wine ) so I think I'll keep my App one for now until more Info. comes out about it or some updates to make it work better. Now I will say it down loaded the update strange .... I only down load one App. update at a time and this one updated uneventful but didn't recognize that it did and kept displaying " update" or "open" So now I'm wondering if the update didn't go well and maybe I need to uninstall and try it again. So I'm in the " buffering" mode LOL.

Okay I uninstalled the update and reinstalled it and now it works much faster however it still doesn't read the QR code I posted here. just offers me to copy to clip board my other code reader tell me what the QR code says. Can anyone's camera new code reader read that QR code I posted above?

Yes. My phone read it instantly, but the only option is "Copy". What is that one supposed to be?

I see now. I forgot that I did leave QR Reader installed. Maybe the Moto software cannot display codes with simple text only, maybe we can only process codes that take us to a website or open contact data?

When I scan it with the camera, it says "copy". I do that, and it says "copied to clipboard". I then paste that to a search field and it then says "Howdy ".

Never thought to paste it to the search window ... When I made that QR that is what it's suppose to say. Other QR readers Apps. read it without any other action needed.
