Camera issues with barcode reading progs - HD2 General

Hi,
On my HD2 both MicroSoft tag and neoreader get the camera image positioning wrong such that with respect to portrait orientation, the image is rotated 90 degrees (phone motion up produces image motion right), etc. I've only seen this kind of issue in these two programs -- odd that they are both visual data scanning tools.
Anyone else seeing this? Anyone have a quick fix or is this something wrong in the programs?
/P

Absolutely
No One cares,
I have had this problem on all windows phones i have owned when using microsoft tag. I have reported problem to microsoft, no reply. someone said they had this problem back in april, they didnt get a reply.
No one wants to talk about it or fix it. Im fed up! See if any one replies to this with an answer. no one will. and i have no idea why?

i think because no one use the microsoft tag thing... hmm

I use it! still works with the leo, just the image on the screen isnt right. But im not really bothered as long as it works

Microsoft Tag Beta version that works with HD2 was linked by someone yesterday or the day before.
Search, I cbf.

Picture caller ID

Hey all,
I have Faria's new ROM and from some reason it doesnt show pictures anymore when people call me even though it has caller ID pictures assigned to them.
Anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this?
I have no idea! I have Faria 3.3v2 and literally just called myself from work and had the caller ID picture show up on the today screen but this got me wondering and I tried
I did notice that in the phone screen the last call is to someone whose picture I have programmed and it did not show it but it did for some other people when I tried it.
Seems like a small but relatively minor bug. Might be worth posting this in the thread on the ROM directly, but perhaps testing it a little more. Faria's bark seems to be worse than his bite so don't worry about getting flamed if your question is well written, you have tested a few possible solutions and you don;t say that if it isn;t fixed you will go to another ROM!!!

Live messenger with intergrated webcam?

Hey!
A little question
I have UMTS , it's faster than gprs/edge
24 kiloBYTES per second
is it possible that i log on a program like skype or msn on my hermes/mdavario2/htc tytn or however you call it
i mean i go on msn or something like that on my phone and put on my 2nd camera (front)
and someone on the other side (pc) sees it! (visaversa)
(microsoft portrait doesnt work on hermes camera)
or does anyone know its on development r something?
kind regards
NO isn't working...
patrickjumpen: I've edited the title of your thread, from
"Live messenger with intergrated webcam!" - which suggests you have a solution, to
"Live messenger with intergrated webcam?" - which more accurately suggests that you have a question.
Do you see what I did there? Subtle, but effective, I hope.
Please try to use accurate thread titles.

Basically had the same question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322390 .
Portrait seems to be the only option, and it really seems to be under developement right now. Hopefully we will see some improvements for Hermes in the near future.
Did you try the latest version for wm5? 3.1 beta or so. Im sorry to hear that the cam did not work, that was the main thing I was looking for.

i-nigma reader on Mogul

I successfully installed the i-nigma reader on my Mogul and it SEEMS to work but after opening the camera and snapping the pic, nothing comes from it. Has anyone got the reader to work on their Mogul?
i-nigma.com if you are wondering what I'm talking about
I was playing with a business card OCR program and that didn't work with my Mogul because the camera can't focus well enough on something that close. The issue you're seeing is probably the same...
Anyone know if its possible to make the clarity of "macro focus" pictures better?

Since the phone is 2mpix, you're probably better off holding it far away and using the digital zoom to enlarge the area to scan. If the lens can focus, 2mpix is more than enough to zoom in on just the card before losing clarity.

Hi dragon_76
I'm part of the developing group of 3GVision, who develop the i-nigma. On Sep 07 the i-nigma application didn't work on windows Mobile 6 devices. From Oct 07, we started support WM6. Please go to www.i-nigma.com and install the new version, it should work now. Please feel free to email me impression.
Thanks

No need to snap with the i-nigma
The i-nigma work as scanner, there is no need to snap anything, just put the barcode in front of the camera and it will scanned automatically
i installed i-nigma on my wm6 t-mobile vario II.
It works fine, but the camera is flipped making it difficult to aim, (ie left is right and right is left, when in landscape. In portrait the image is upside down and up is down and down is up)
Anyone got this? and also, is there anythnig else on the site, all i get is the install link (when browsing via pda, work blocks the site via pc) could do with a help section, or FAQ.
Regards

What he said, I've had it on my phone for well over a month and it works fine without any problems. You don't have to take a picture of anything, it read the bar code as soon as it is in view.
It's a version issue. I had 1.26 installed, from my 6700 switch, but it was always buggy, often needing multiple soft resets, so installed v1.40, but have the same issue as the first post.
yup, 1.26 works on my mogul 2.17rom.

I Installed I-nigma on my mogul. Interesting program, nice to have. scans and decodes really quick. however i had the same "backward" issue. But u can fix it by editing the registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\3GVisionInigma\i-nigma\option
"PreviewDirection_31" = 0
change 0 to 2
it will fix the backwards camera. However it won't fix the landscape issue cuz the program wasn't design to operate in landscape mode, the camera preview won't rotate.
It's really worth keeping now.

i wouldn't second this. adding a contact with quickmark resulted in a "," behind the name and a "h" behind the number.
i-nigma does add the contact on a right way.

Screen Orientation - VueFlO

Has anyone thought about linking the screen orentation to VueFLO so it automatically changes depending on the orientaiton of the device? Is this possible? I would certainly be interested

Good Idea!
would LOVE to see that....
Would VueFLO be able to tell the difference between tilting the device to the left (when in landscape) and rotating it into portrait?
A really REALLY cool idea though
Less talk and more results !!!
This would be truly a great app to have on the advantage. Anyone out there willing to build this app for us, it would be appreciated to the entire forum.
is it possible....and if so..how..?? doesnt VueFlo..uses manual buttons..can any1 care to explain if its possible or not..buh if it is..then it wud be great
i would to wite a programe for VueFlo on athena but i can't find any way for connect to VueFlo
i would write the programe for a thing like anti thief
it mean for example if i take athena on the table and turn the programe on, then if someone takeit, it play a sound and ...

Eybi nadare dadash.. Your english is just fine...
And that sounds like a great idea... look, i do some xcode programming for iphone and being a close plathform i feel you can do more on that then Athena. dont get me wrong i love my Athena and i wouldnt change it but i think it is capable of so much more ... i broke my x7500 and got iphone and wasnt doin it so i got another athena. i use the both and i love my athena more than i phone....

Believe me, If I could, I would.
Some coding god needs to reverse engineer to vueflo apps to work out how the hardware is accessed. After that, any coder can do it just like the iphone/ipod people are all making stuff that uses the accelerometer in them.
Its not an easy task. We need somebody in HTC to leak the details really.
Arya, so you were never able to fix your phone call recording problem? The built-in recorder handles it, I forget now why you were still having a problem. Off-topic, I know, discuss on the original thread.
On-topic, the motion sensor on the hard drive is just that... a motion sensor. Not an orientation sensor (like mercury switches are). Just turning the unit on its side won't let the OS know its now on its side, however, by adding some kind of motion code it will work just fine. Like shaking it twice downward in the direction you want to be down. Shaking it once would produce too many false changes, but twice or maybe 3 times would send the right message.
This type of phone input has been in the news a lot lately, along with vibration as a feedback. The idea on the news is you would shake your phone to see if you have any messages waiting, and it would vibrate back if you do. Unfortunately since the Athena doesn't have a vibration motor the output part isn't possible, but the input part is, since it has the motion sensors already! (the lack of vibration is one of the top-5 flaws of this device, IMO, hopefully it will get added on the X7502)
So, taking the topic of this thread one step further, how about creating an application that launches apps based on motion input? Yes I know there is a program out there that lets you reprogram most of the function buttons to do this (I forget its name at the moment, I haven't bought it yet), but adding motion to this mix would be so much cooler!
shake it baby?
these ideas seam very good but sahaking it multiple times and to open programs seams like it may cause problems because our device is just tooo big, imagine to shake or rotate ur device a specific way to get pie running (maybe it could be shaken to the rythem of ur favourite song (which has to be the Smashing Pumpkins..) and it shakes out of your hand on to the concrete pavement below wooops!!! just imagine the insurance form for that
Well, the unit's motion sensitivity is quite high. Easily confirmed by changing the viewflo sensitivity to high and then gently tilting the unit when you are in a browser. You wouldn't have to create martinis or milkshakes to launch an app, just a gentle flick or two will do. A downside of all this is carrying it around would present problems (either on your belt or in your hand). Even if you ignore the g-sensors when the cover is on, the cover-on switch is so faulty you might get to work and find that you wired $150 Euros to the Red Cross and sent all your checking account information to some guy in Nigeria.

why did i just know someone would suggest this. hahaha prolly cause i thought that too! hahaha
1 reason of many i can think of is Iphone look alike
Hi, i'm interested in an iphone-like app too.
I still can't understand why HTC inserted a hardware which can handle with orientation, and then it's only possible to use scolling in PIE or Opera.
Why not Scrolling in PIE AND Opera. I love this feature, and want it always and for other apps too, like Rotate Screen automaticly, skip music file or backwards in WMP, Forward/backward in PIE/Opera when moved left/right.
I don't unterstand this. The difficult part is the integration of hardware, and HTC didn't develop a simple app which makes the hardware really do what it is supposed to do.
I even don't believe they added the G-Sensor for the Microdrive.
nothing new?
even with the new softwares incluede in devices such as Omnia or Diamond?

Camera-based Motion Tracking

Hello everyone!
I'm new on this forum and I've only read TONS of useful information till now...Few days ago I bought an HTC Touch device and immediately I flashed its ROM with a new one found in this *** WONDERFUL *** site
Well, in the past I developed some (stupid) applications for Windows in several languages; then I discover the "pocket-pc" world and began to have to do with it! One night I was reading about a feature of a developement-version of a well known browser and WOOOOOOOW!!!! "You can perform several actions, like scrolling, panning, zooming...only by moving your phone!" The software use image-processing algorithms to recognize your gestures ...only using the built-in camera!!!! No accelometers needed...
Something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3pVaEVHpvI
Now, image-processing algorithms are not too difficult to implement...but how can I get access to the built-in camera on my Htc ?!? I tried to search all over the internet, and in this forum too...but I found only few things about HTCCameraAPI and many other programs and their dlls. I cannot believe there's no way to have access to the camera!!!
HELP please!!! this "project" could be very interesting!
One thing is sure - it _can_ be done, and it can work really good, even on weak hardware - look at this:
http://rivia.net/Fishopolis.aspx
I just tried the demo and i was amazed how well it worked on my wizard (especially considering its crappy camera), even in less than perfect lighting conditions (incadescent light). No overclocking required.
Also, from what i've seen WM7 is going to use the camera-based gestures too. So, anyone willing to beat M$ to it and develop a camera-based ftouchflo-like app?
I've looked at the libs, and I've even dabbled in the source, and this is my next project. Like I said, we know it can be done, it's just a matter of doing it. Obviously though, I've got to finish off PocketMelody etc. But it's my next move, once no one beats me to it . And personally, I hope someone does! It's not THAT hard.
Welcome to the forums gregnapola!
This website hepled me choose my very first PPC Phone 18 months ago and helped it become the best little device I own. It just keeps getting better and better with tools such as FTouchFlo, PocketMelody and Picture Flow, and I look forward to this feature onMY HTC Hermes!
Shows how much really can be done with this WM platform, all you need is developers with imagination and talent (and all the other things that go along with it like coffe and donations and and respect on the forums ).
Thanks guys.
maybe we would have some1 develop a program that automatically changes portrait mode into landscape by jus rotating the camera..hey u never kno..this is XDA-DEVELOPERS..
Sounds awesome and would definitly love to see this done. Just a quick question about it. Would it be a big battery drain to have this running all the time?

Considering that you're not rendering anything to the screen, it's at least safe to assume you'll be using A LOT less power than if you were walking around with your camera application on all day .
Thank you for your replies...
I've just installed the demo version of "Rivia Fishopolis" to see how well can it work but it doesn't run it because of an unknow security-error
Now, I found a lot of useful camera-based applications, but they'll come in the future - I'm talking about WM7 gesture-based control, NetFront 3.5 or EyeMobile Games by GestureTek...but all I really need is the way to capture frames by my Elf camera; code samples in any Visual Studio language with HTCCameraAPI, or any other lib...
any update?
I'd also love to substitute my D-Pad for a Camera-based Motion Tracking system
No Dev takes this challenge?

I resolved your error assigning owner information (all). But camera feature seems to not work on my trinity...also the d-pad can't move the cursor...is there anyone with same problem?

Would it be possible to have it access the front camera too and switch of the LCD when you're talking on the phone? Something like what the iPhone does to save battery.

Im trying to use Fishopolis on my phone ( an HTC Wizard) but i keep on getting some kind of weird security error.
Any ideas why im getting that error and how to fix it?
doesn't seem to work with the camera on the Hermes...hmmm
Looks like we will have to wait until 2009 for WM7.
wouldn't it consume a lot more battery if camera is always on.
just my thought
I think this is a cool idea and I think I mentioned this somewhere else in this forum, but if this could be done, it would be cool if one could use the camera of there phone, link it via bluetooth and use it as a mouse for a laptop.
Just thinking outloud.
lol, some interesting ideas.
