Mobiletag works fine on my HD2.... at what point does it crash for you?

that screen that tells me to take a photo of the code. it sends me to 'camera mode'. after taking the photo, i'll hit return and it brings up a "ARM 11 error" screen. then it crashes out. i'm running energy rom. i downloaded the app thru the developer's website, rather than microsoft marketplace.

I've never gotten anything from ms marketplace either... no point. Anyways, with that app, when it takes you to camera mode, you are not suppose to take the picture yourself. As soon as it can read the bar code properly and it focuses, the program snaps the picture automatically. Just try to get the barcode in the middle of the screen and keep it still so it focuses. Don't push anything to take the pic yourself.... that's probably whats throwing the program off. It has trouble reading the barcode in low light settings sometimes, too.
I hope that helps.

ahhhh. yep. i didn't position the code correctly in the middle and i kept trying to take photos of it. once i let the code appear like the size of a postage stamp, it finally worked. thanks.
does it force you to use IE too? i googled for a work around so it would use opera instead...but no go.

Not sure. I thought it used opera for me, but I'm not positive. I haven't installed it again since I last changed roms. I'll install it again later and see what I can figure out.

Is opera set as your default browser?

If you open Quickmark, then tap "Options" (on the bottom right in the HD2), then tap "Settings", then tap "Settings" again, you should see an option to choose "Opera Browser" instead of IE. If you don't, then this feature might be disabled in your registry. With a registry editor, search for "Quickmark" and you will find a value called "Choice_Browser". Make sure this is set to "1".

VERY cool upgrade. I have been using it for a little bit now and its really nice.
Did they fix the memory issue beta 1 had? I refuse to reinstall it until they do.
I just installed it, it seems to work alot better than the previous version. A few of my naggles were fixed.

Anyone having problems with text boxes?
I love the new beta but every time I input text into a text box it then wipes that text when I click 'done' or press return or click out of the box?
It seems to work with single words entered one at a time but when I enter more than a couple, the entered text reverts to what was in the text box beforehand? :-(
An example:
if I type: "Hello" and press "done" it keeps the "Hello"
if I then click back into it and type "How are you, I'm OK" in the same box it reverts back to just "Hello"
if I type "Hello, how are you, I'm OK" into an empty box it goes blank...
This is really limiting me!

Also confirmed. Mine was up to 68%, hopefully someone will come out with something to stop it from consuming all the RAM.

Pictures in Gmail??

I can't believe that even on my beautiful sleek Nexus One, I can't view embedded email pictures. Does anyone know why this is? And if not maybe some one knows how to fix it? This is actually ridiculous if you ask me, its the Gmail app that has been made by Google for a Google operating system on a Google phone but it can't display embedded email pictures? Whats going on here?
It works fine for me... Did you push the "Show Pictures" button near the top of the email?
Sometimes they show up for me. Usually they don't though and I always press 'show pictures'. I love the phone bit its the least of my issues: I can't send mms to any phone bit android, I get 'uportal error' on a common site that the iPhone 3g and 3gs access no problem, and I often get a quarter of an inch of orange load bar when clicking a link in the browser which sometimes is only remedied by a phone reset. I have loved all 3 of my android phones though and Its google we're talking about. They are all about te internet and I trust they are diligently working to improve te average, albeit fast browser experience.
I just read my post and good God this keyboards tough to type on.

Change your user agent like I suggested your other thread, and use the speech to text. ; )
I have pressed show picture, all i get is a question mark in a little blue box and i can see the frame of the picture that is spoused to be there. I know im not the only person people. Don't make me feel like im the only one here..
Currently, the gmail app does not support embedded pictures in emails. When you see pictures it's because the person attached the picture to the email. The only way to see embedded pictures in an e-mail on your phone is to log into gmail through the browser. This has been like this since 1.5 and has been submitted to google numerous of times. Hopefully they will fix this problem.

I have the same issue as OP and have since I can remember (since I got my G1 on pre-order) and clicking on "show pictures" and clicking on the blue square does nothing for me on my G1 and my Nexus.
/agree with mgorman.....
Embedded pictures is working just fine in the Gmail app, had some ad-spam from Direct2Drive, Apple, Impulse etc in my inbox just now and they all had embedded pictures. Clicked show pictures and it worked like a charm, this was also over 3g network.
As far as I know I can't take screenshots with an un-rooted phone, so I've attached a picture.

You can use the Android sdk to take pictures of the phone:
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Make sure USB debugging is on, plug in phone to PC
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools -> ddms.bat​
Not sure what you guys are talking about. Embedded pictures work absolutely flawlessly on my phone
Ah of course via the SDK. Been developing for Android for some time, but I've only been using the emulator since I've been too lazy to actually hook up my phone

do you have astro file manager installed? there is an option in this app that allows you to download otherwise un-downloadable files through the stock browser that makes pictures in email not work (according to the setting in the app itself)

Twitter App

Anyone have an recommendation for a good Twitter app? I was a fan of Seesmic for Android but found nothing I like yet for WinMo. Also, does anyone know how to put the icon for Twitter on the Homescreen? (not in the bottom bar) I am running Kumar Premium. Thanks.

MOTWEETS
MoTweets is the best twitter app I have used..handsdown. I think it is a lot better than Peep as well.
Just installed motweets and i do like it, though i can't seem to get list option to work, any ideas? I have created 3 lists on my twitter account on feeds im following though when i go to lists in motweets and click refresh they don't appear.

For some reason now after installing v1.7 it decided to work
Curious??? What's wrong with Peep that comes on the HD2? Works great for me, but if this Motweet action is way better, I'll give it a shot.

Peep is pretty kick-ass but it lacks a few of the options that MoTweets has. download motweets and give it a go. Its pretty nice. I am actually using both at the moment.
After upgrading to the new ROM for my HD2 and reinstalling Motweet.exe from my PC it now shows all of the timeline stamps as "1 minute ago". No matter how many times I refresh. I bought the full version or whatever.
Any ideas? Or is this an issue on Twitter's end? Hrmmmm.
Figured this out. When I loaded up the new ROM, I noticed that it had my time incorrect. I manually set it. Just noticed that my date was also incorrect. It was a day behind. Once I fixed the date, the timeline started working again...
My question. Is there a place to choose whether it automatically pulls the time and date that might be unchecked for me or something? I've been digging but haven't found anything.

You can try this, but I don't know how well it works (never used it myself):
On your settings tab, pick "data services", and there will be an "internet time sync" button, where you can then choose for it to "get time from the internet"
Other than that, I've never seen any settings to get the time automatically
About Motweets, how do you get it to run during startup + minimized? I'm just looking for an app that does that, so if Motweets can't do that, can someone direct me to another that does?

Yeah sometimes it is the site and not the device. Some sites don't have it set up so mobile devices can veiw the image online, they make you download it. I know it is crappy but hey atleast you do get to veiw it. I will see if I can't help uou find a work around for it. This might help too. Go to the little arrow icon at the bottom right hand corner of the Opera browser and toch on it. A menu will come up touch on I think it says settings and check all the options there. I forget wich one it is but one of the options lets you choose to browse as a mobile device or PC. Check PC and see if that helps.

Any watch face that shows seconds when screen is dimmed?

I'm a nurse and need seconds displayed on my watch for when I perform vitals. I know there are watch faces that display seconds, but they go away once the screen dims. Any third party watch faces that would fit the bill?
BTW loving my gear live! Picked it up this morning.

I haven't seen any. That'd be a massive drain on the battery; the watch would be constantly redrawing the display instead of sitting idle and updating only once a minute. I'm not sure you'd even get through a shift before it were to die...

Yeah true good point. Well maybe there's an app I can load that just gives me seconds for when I go into a patients room. I guess I could load like a timer or something too. Or maybe I'll just have to use a regular watch during my shifts. Thanks for the input.

I'm sure someone could whip up an accurate watchface app that stays alive while open. Not sure if one exists already. But it shouldn't be hard to do at all.

Yeah I would only need it active for the 5-10 min I'm in the room than switch back to a normal clock face. I would gladly donate for this too. Hopefully some Dev see's this.

I'm learning that app but can't figure out the seconds part. Under clock draw interval, I figure that's where I need to be. I've tried sec always but seconds still don't pop up. Any ideas?

It's amazing how little people read.
i linked you to an app called "wear picture watch". Download and install that. Open it, it's a watch designer. Download the zip file from that guys page now open "wear picture watch" app. Goto the side menu scroll down you'll see "import/export" click on it. Now select the zip file and click "refresh" on top. There are other settings here on this app where you can adjust what shows up and what doesn't. One of those options can be tuned to have the seconds hand show up even when dimmed. Furthermore there is "update interval" which can be changed do the second hand moves even when dimmed.

Actually you originally linked me to a play google link first. Which did NOT work. Which is why I said url did not work. Than I did go to that G+ link. I originally didn't see the instructions within the posts on G+, so my bad. Maybe I was distracted by the nice designs. As for the "update interval" section, there is none. There is a "clock draw interval" but not a update interval. I only saw that under weather settings.
I got it working. It is in fact the "clock draw interval", not "update interval". Just had to change that to sec. always(wake lock). Now just need to figure out how to get some numbers in there displayed around the clock.

No worries, got it working exactly how I want it! So glad you pointed this out. So now I can just switch to this clock temporarily when I go in to see patients. I will post the file(assuming I can, and of course giving credit to where its due) that I used with the adjustments I made to allow seconds be displayed even while dim. So if future medical personal come along, they have a way to use their smart watch at work. thanks again.
Help getting a face
Hi
As an EMT this is exactly what I'm looking for! Downloaded wear picture watch app, but am having a hard time getting faces imported. Went to the G+ page and got the box link to download a face. It downloads a .face file. Question is where do I go from there. I do not see an import/export option in the app.
Thanks a lot
