Does anybody recommend a good bar code scanner for the vibrant?
The app called "barcode scanner" seems pretty popular.
Try google shopper

Shop Savvy?
Quickmark works well.
I tried shop savvy and not only it was slow to start but FC a lot. I use barcode scanner now ... a much better app.

I tried all of them I could find, and Quickmark seems to recognize the bar code much, much faster than anything else out there. Even at weird angles, poor lighting, etc. With other apps I had to screw around and get it lined up JUST right -- some of them only occasionally, others all the time. But Quickmark grabs the code even if it's out of focus and I'm still moving the phone around trying to find the thing...
This, by the way, is how QR-code scanning is supposed to work. The specification has all those alignment marks for a reason. The cheap-o Japanese cell phones that recognize QR can pick out the code quickly and easily, and this is the first smart phone app I've seen which performs equally well.
strange never had a problem with FC on shop savvy.

Alex here from ShopSavvy. Strange that barcode scanner would be faster than ShopSavvy. The current build of both uses the same library for scanning. They should scan at exactly the same speed. We have a new library that is faster than the Zxing library, but we haven't implemented in ShopSavvy yet (developers can get it for free from freebarcodescanner.com). It will be in our next update. Anyway, if you are getting a force close issue all you need to do is uninstall and reinstall. The most common ShopSavvy issue on Android, is the 'force close' issue. We believe it to be an issue with the operating system. The best way to fix it is to uninstall ShopSavvy, reinstall ShopSavvy and then reboot. This seems to get rid of the 'force close' issue. For all other issues check out our FAQ or Support site.
Our FAQ is located at biggu.com/faq
Our support site is located at getsatisfaction.com/biginjapaninc
We are constantly releasing updates (bug fixes and new features) on Android and iPhone. Make sure you are using the most up-to-date version of ShopSavvy.

FC issues on Android apps like ShopSavvy

The FC issue happens to about 1-2% of users after they update the app. Very annoying. Something about the state of the phone at the time of the update. Google has tried to help us figure out how to resolve it, but after two years we don't have a fix. Lots of other apps have the same issue. When get several million users 1-2% turns into a big number - 60,000+ users for each update.
I prefer quickmark
Bunch of choices, but Barcode Scanner seems to be the default. I think one of the team members works at Google.

Hi,
I've just finished work on an app for windows mobile that allows you to view the status of your friends on xbox live.
It's an actual app, rather than a web browser pretending to be an app, that shows an iPhone style list of all your friends gamertags. It allows you to see whos online, what game they are playing, what they are doing in that game, their gamer picture and gamer score.
Version 1.2.1.0
Features Added:
* Notification auto closes after 10 seconds
* Notifications have a button to take you to application for further details
* Application will notify you when a new version is available for download.
Bugs Fixed:
* Fixed memory leak
* Performance inprovement for scrolling
* Performance improvement to startup time
* Fixed problem with touch sensitivity on VGA devices
* Improved icon for VGA devices
* Minor tweeks
Version 1.2.0.0
This update adds an online notification system. Now when your friends come online you will get a Notification pop up to tell you whos just come online.
Features Added:
* Can run in background
* Auto refreshes GamerTags status, using configurable refresh interval
* Generates Windows Mobile Notifications when friends come online
* Notifications can be Enabled or Disabled
* Useability enhancements.
Version 1.0.1.2
Bugs Fixed:
Fixed startup bug, which occured on some devices
Fixed VGA QVGA display problem
Version 1.0.1.0
Features Added:
Trial mode added allowing users to test out the application.
The application requires .net 2.0, so if you are using anything thats older than windows mobile 6 you will need to download and install .net compact framework 2.0 or higher from Microsoft here
Attached is a screen shot. For more information or to download my app please go to my site: http://www.fehnerssoftware.co.uk
finally a gamer has the need.. just like me
thanks bud.. downloading it right freakin now.
Edited
ohhh wait...
i would have to see it in action before i spent a dime.. sorry mate
this would be really cool if i didnt have to buy. At least let me try it first, to see I its worth it. Funny the app store for the iphone have very good xbox friend apps all for free.
I've been dying for someone to develop a true WinMo app for XBL friends list. I'm excited to try it, but do wish there was a demo. will there be game stats and messaging integration?
Well I would suspect iPhone owners paid for it, so why not cough up- if you want it?
I'm going to have to agree with the "try before you buy" feeling going on here.
At least take a video showing how the app works on your own phone please.
Although this would be an awesome app, I have been looking for a program or script that sends me an sms whenever a specific friend is on XBox Live so I can join up, any one heard of something that does that?
Hi all,
Thank you for the positive response
I've taken on board all your comments and aim to produce a limited feature trial version, which will allow you to try it out before committing to a purchase.
I will post back here when I have made the updates.
Iphone people got it for free Micosoft stepped in and made the company give the application for free

ya i like that.. if you remember way back in the day the original xbox and orignal xbox live did that.. sent an sms, and IMed you on msn..
I like the idea of the app. But it doesn't seem to do enough for me to pay for it. I mean.. there are much more useful apps on this site(and others) for the ppc that are free.
I tip my hat to you sir. Nice looking app. You have inspired me to work on an open source version for myself.
Version 1.0.1.0 - trial mode
Hi again,
I have now updated my site with version 1.0.1.0 of my xbox live friends status app.
Version 1.0.1.0, will run in a trial mode while un-registered, so you can try it out. It is limited to displaying two gamer tags.
Hopefully this will give you a feel for the app.
For more information or to download my app please go to my site: http://www.fehnerssoftware.co.uk/mygamertags.shtml
Nice! I was waiting for something like this. Going to try it out.
Thank you!

I accidentally uploaded an early version which had a bug if you were using the app for the very first time.
The bug has since been fixed and a new version uploaded not long ago.
Are you able to try the latest version?

Hmm strange I know of a number of people now using this without issues.
What device are you using? Are you running this on a windows mobile phone?
Any chance you could scroll down on the details screen for the error so I can see the full call stack?
htc touch pro

Thanks for that.
It seems the way I get the devices unique serial number is not working for your device. I have an idea of how to get this working on your device.
I'll get working on it
Thanks.
I've put up a new level on my site which should fix the crashes on startup some people were experiencing.
Please let me know if it you experience any problems.
Thanks.
ok...
i did get this one to install and run...
however i have an issue.
you have it set to simply look up gamertags.. which is cool... however, I, like thousands of others, have set up my profile so that only friends can see if the person is online.
so genericly putting in gamercards wont work for me as i wont really know who is online..
unless the app can see its ME looking..
for example... I put in my gamertag.. and it said i was offline... but i wasnt, however if your not on my friends list.. i appear offline.
and i dont remember if it did or not, but i dont think it said what game they where playing.. again if you do fix it so i can see my friends online, if i cant see what game they are involved in.. its no good as well.
i gave you alot of negative, which is ****ty of me..
so i do want to say from what i can see it looks awesome.
I tried OpnMarket as an alternative to MS Marketplace, what can I say, MS could learn something here.
It has a good way to browse the apps and I have not seen one you have to pay for (donations are welcome though).
The number of apps are currenly limited, but still more than the Marketplace, however I'm sure it'll grow.
True, this OPN Market seems good and I think most applications or games are free inside, right?
While MSN Market have some applications or games which need to purchase before downloading.
Also, unlike MS Marketplace, you have the ability to save the applications where you want instead of just to the device, thus saving the precious memory on your phone.
I know you can just move the apps manually but the is just a hassle to do, and to be honest I just couldn't be bothered to use the Marketplace mainly for this reason.
thanks for the heads up. I just installed this now. microsoft should be ashamed of themselves!
Marketplace seems to be the biggest failure when it comes to Windows Mobile. What help us great hardware, if don't have applications to run on.
Looks very interesting! But I constantly get a 'Connection failed! Please check your internet connection and try again.' error when trying to log in through the application.
Anyone else with the same problem? Connection is working fine btw so that can't really be the issue.
It was working well for me... Installed an app to my storage card, was quite happy with the interface, even if it did feel a little low-res. However, on downloading my 2nd app, I clicked "back" hoping it would download in the background. IT appeared to stop, so I went back to the app I wanted to download. The store then locked up, and eventually crashed out and now won't load.
Very poor error handling, in my opinion.

I have to say I also thought that it was going to download in the background, however for a first release it is still miles better than Marketplace

Heh, yeah... I just tried it a few times and suddenly I got in. Looks good so far!
Works good, and a way better than a MS Marketplace (especially local one). Beatiful gui without those monstfous MS fonts
Many thanks for the Link, looks pretty good and they have a lot of content..
I have been playing with the store demo for the T-mobile HD2 for the last couple of days. Mostly I'm very impressed with the phone, but the one thing that is driving me crazy is that Google reader is completely useless from the browser. I have tried opera 9.7, opera 10, and opera mini and all of them mangled the formatting to to point that it is unusable. The mobile site is not any better. Any solutions?
Thanks
I use the RSS reader included in the HD2 and export my google reader subscriptions to it.
Google should really bring out an app for that. Otherwise just sort out their website.
there is an google reader app on opnmarket but i think the link is down at the moment
try this

I've tried it but performance is poor
I'm not tied to google reader
I should mention that I'm not tied to using Google reader, I like using Google reader because I can access it from my phone and my computer and and keep it in sync between the two. I would be open to trying other rss readers with the same ability if anyone has alternative suggestions.

if you use iphone link of Google Reader with Iris Browser will be a perfect couple.
excelent tip, really liked!
Thanks!
Thats freaking perfect Thank you.
This above mentioned Speeedreader works perfect for me, I use it for months now, and I'm really content with it.
A new version is coming soon I've read.
Perfect tip indeed!
I was just going to buy SmartRSSTouch just for this. Now it seens I don't need it anymore.
Thanks!
There doesnt seem to be a way to add a star on the iphone reader page.
I've been using smartrsstouch for months, best greader i've tried. Only issue, it keeps asking for userid and password when used over 3G.
Awesome tip, thank you! The standard reader was impossible to use...
Any tips on how to contact the speedreader developer in an attempt to report (and hopefully get a fix for) a bug with right to left feeds display ? This is, more or less, the only thing that voids me from using it. Note that SmartRSSTouch got an identical issue as well.
Bug description: RTL list entries are displayed with the html code, that is supposed to switch the list entry to RTL, shown as text instead of being applied to the list entry. Reproducible with any RTL feed (anything Hebrew or Arabic should do), for example, this feed - http://www.ynet.co.il/Integration/StoryRss2.xml
Before my streak went back and whilst i am waiting for another one could someone tell me where the E-COMPASS is i spent half an hour looking round the device and could not find it
There isnt one on the device, download a compass app. Just search the market for compass.

Yep that makes sense. just wondering tho when you go to the settings then to programs list there is a e-compass in there i am new to the android so why is that in there but no app to be found.sorry for my ignorance Just trying to get up to speed with android
Thats probably the service and driver. The app list is a bit dumb by default, it shows EVERYTHING installed, you have to filter for downloaded apps.
Hello all. Today I have interesting problem with Marketplace on my phone. For an example I searching for Amazon Mobile - I see in list only crappy apps. Not Amazon Mobile. Where is it?
