Canon T3-
Bought both apps a few weeks ago and just getting around to trying them out. Not sure how this is supposed to work. It's rather straight forward; takes you straight to the remote, but when I hit both the xD and xxxD buttons in the app nothing happens on the camera. Do I need the camera in a specific mode? Trying in full auto.

yes set the drive mode to 2sec/remote this will activate the Infrared receiver in the camera.
Ahh... The T3 doesn't have infared. I probably should have checked that out beforehand, but you might want to specify that in your posts. Keep the $, I appreciate the development.

this is realy hard to list all cameras thats has no infrared port.
I mean my app support 7 DSLRs companies each company has at least 15 camera ,I dont think the app description will allow this much of words.
and please send the gmail account you used to purchase the app so I can refund you. I insist.
works with T2i's

I'm not saying list every compatible camera. I'm saying maybe specify "infared remote capability". That should sum it up don't ya think? Again- my fault; I shoulda realized I didn't have remote capability beforehand.
And no, I really don't want the money back. I like that you're developing for DSLR's and I don't miss the few dollars. :good: Just gives me one extra reason to buy the T4i I've been thinking about.
Awesome man. I just purchased and it's working quite well on my SONY a77.

the T4i or 650D is great choice and dont believe that there is DSLR for beginners or advanced and I myself have two categories DSLR for rich people and DSLR for regular people.
try to spend money on prime lenses rather expensive DSLR.
I bought the canon 7d a year ago and I really regret because my intentions is for video more then photography what I mean is I am missing the awesome flexible screen on the xxxD series and the 60D.

glad it works and thanks for the review
I did find one thing, which I'm sure will be fixed in later release. The thing is that the app seems to be still active and running once you closed the app using the return button. Other than it works without any issues.

the story about this some user contacted me and told me that he had a problem and it was whenever the app starts it shows the canon remote and he had to slide twice until he reaches the sony remote and complaining about the loading time when the app starts.
so what I did is whenever you start the app for the first time the app will recognise your choice for ever and the startup screen will not show except for the first time or the cache cleared by restart the phone or clear it manually.
so dont worry the app is not running ,even if its running it will consume any power.
I did that so I dont want to confuse the use by adding settings and this the beauty about this app just choose your camera brand and it will remmeber it for ever.
Hey OP, I don't mean to thread cap but just curious.
What are the advantages to your application for $2.5 over the popular free DSLR Remote app?

OK..... As some of you know I own a deli/restaurant. We were broken into recently (no I don't have a security system and yes I'm a dope), luckily they only got us for $200-$300. I understand all of the obvious options we have for a system and I will be putting those in place asap.
Here's the thing.... there was no sign of forced entry. I have business partners (wasn't them) and 2 employees with keys (really don't think it was them) but possibly someone that knows any of the above got their key. None of that matters (my tiny brain will investigate that)....
Is there a security system or cams that could be linked to any of my android phones or tablets? If anyone knows of a system anything close to what I'm talking about, that would be really cool.
I'll be meeting with Time Warner and my wife just mentioned adt about a system but..... if I could any how have cams going to my tablets or phones that would be even more helpful, if it was an inside job.... and I hardly EVER think that way but there was no sign of forced entry. Also it happened the day of the Hurricane so the cops said anything outside with finger prints wouldn't show a thing.
Just saw something similar on the Nook Color forum and was wondering why I didn't ask this question to you guys the day it happened.
Money is somewhat of an option (as it is to most people) but having something feeding to my android devices would be priceless.
If this is an obvious answer please let this thread sink but if there is a way to have security running to my phones or tablets please speak up.
Thanks,
Chef

f#cken BUMS !!!
any suggestions for those that want the wireless route of camera? where I want to mount mine I wont have any existing cabeling for video and even getting power to it is gonna be tricky.
Really want remote viewing control on phone, recording dvr either onsite or in the cloud. most seem to be hardline cameras still except for the IP cameras which dont work with most typical dvr's ive seen at first glance. I know they make transmitters to convert the wired camera to wireless but thats adds a ton of clutter too as ones ive seen are bulky.
Try logitech alert 750e on Google.

I hate geovision dvr cards, but they have an android app finally. Most systems can be viewed from a web browser, but you'll want to make sure that there is an app for them as it makes viewing the video remotely much easier.
If you don't want to worry about finding an app for a specific brand go with wireless cameras. Don't get the kind that need a base unit. Get some that can be linked to a wireless router. You can then setup an existing computer to record the video or get a new computer dedicated for just this. Since each camera uses its own up address you can use one of the many ip camera apps in the market.
If you need help with anything send me a pm. I do camera installs and repair as a side job.

Let me talk to my business partners and wife tonight or tomorrow morning and I'll shoot you a pm after I talk to them. This seems to be a fairly cheap option w/out monthly fees or a base. I also have a sneaky suspicion that maybe someone is going in after we close and eating or feeding their friends and family like kings.
I work 7 days a week and close the business quite a few of the days. Sometimes I get a gut feeling that things weren't the wah they were when I left the night before. Soooo..... If I could be watching my business at night while yucking it up on xda, that's a win/win.

I don't have any information for you, but just want to show my sympathy toward your situation. It would be terrible if someone you trusted with the keys was doing it or even giving the key to their friends to do it. I am a Union Committeeman at the shop I work at and I just had to sit in with a maintenance man of ours while he got fired for stealing from the company. He was using his key to come in after hours and stealing copper wire and brass fittings and taking them to the scrap yard for money. The Plant manager was suspicious that it was an inside job and took pictures of the cars and people he suspected and took them down to the local scrap yard. They identified the guy and his car and even gave him a copy of the invoice he signed himself(dumbass). He lost a decent job over $76. There was nothing the Union could do to fight it because he was basically caught red handed. The Plant Manager gave him the option to either resign his position on the spot, or he could try to fight it and he would get the cops involved. He admitted doing it and resigned. Anyway, I hope you can catch whoever is doing it. I hope it's not the people you have trusted with keys, but it just sounds strange to me that there are no signs of forced entry. It may cost you now to install a camera system, but will save you $ in the long run. Good Luck bro.

Thanks! I tried doing a little detective work myself but lead me nowhere. They got me for the $100 bucks I leave in the till everynight to start the next day with and got my change box (roughly $200) where I keep all my rolled quarters, dimes etc to make change for the register ( this is where my detective work came in) . I went to a local change for dollars machine vendor but so many people use those daily (including myself when our home change cup gets full) that it would be impossible. I went to local stores and told them to keep an eye on anyone paying with rolled change. That's about the extent of my detective abilities. If I knew any crack dealers they would be the first ones I would ask if anyone's has been buying crack with rolled quarters (haha) .
As for food possibly missing at night is weighing heavy on my mind due to the whole trust issue when you hand a key to your business to someone you trust. I really don't think its anyone with the keys but maybe someone they know grabbing the key while they're sleeping or whatever.
I'll get the bastard whoever it is.

Thinking about getting a phone grip, putting pu camcorder on stand over my shoulder and do the job. But what about screen glare from the phone? Anyone had any experience with these? Suggestions would be helpful if you've done that before.

Yep screencast. Brilliant app that can capture in high definition with sound and can add a pointer on screen so video viewers can see where your finger touched if you want them to.
Also the dev is regularly updating to add new features etcetera.

sorry for the late reply -- work kinda got me.
but did it the old way; this time just much better.
if you guys are interested would be glad to share.
Hi guys!
Before I continue, I first wanna say Im not making this thread for anyone to start any sort of fighting. This is being created based on my experience as a photographer for 10+ yrs. Ive done professional shoots and I have also had photos posted in magazines. So I can assure you I am a credible source
Ive offered lots of photography advice over the years on this site for many different phones. The latest advice im gonna offer is here and now. With the Nokia Lumia 920.
Want the sharpest and best photos you can get? I think 100% of you will say yes. And guess what, Nokia Pro Cam is NOT the answer! Sure its a great app of course, but very recently something else has blown it away. Its an app from the Microsoft store called "One Shot". It does cost $1.99 but its worth every penny and more.
It has every single function the Pro Cam app has and more. Including being able to adjust sharpness, contrast, brightness (which you cant do in Pro Cam)
It also has manual focus like pro cam. Everything is live effect when you change them. It also has a bunch of filters that are beautifully done. Ive done many many comparisons with this app vs pro cam and there isn't one time pro cam was better. Even ISO3200 shots with "One Shot" are sharp and clear, much nicer looking than pro cams final result. I usually start with my sharpness on 2-3 as my base point just for a fyi. Its unbelievable! You get to set a favorite button in the app to be used as something you desire. I would suggest using it a manual shutter release.
Im not gonna post a million comparison photos, but I did post one photo for you all to see. Both photos were shot at ISO 100, and my phone was mounted so don't worry about shutter speed being low (if it even was)
I posted individual photos of each app and I also posted them side by side in Lightroom 4 compare module so you can see the difference at 100%.
This is my advice to you, whether you choose to listen or not is totally up to you guys. Im not gonna argue about anything. Im simply offering you guys/gals the best of the best.
Good luck and keep shooting!

Does anyone know any good IR remote app to use on my converted htc one gpe
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy
personally I like 'Smart IR Remote for HTC One'
its easy to connect whatever devices you desire, set-top boxes, cable boxes, dvd/blue-ray players, home theater systems. if its got an IR sensor this app will probably be able to control it.
then create a remote, you can create as many as you want. can be setup for just 1 dedicated device, or you can make like universal remotes. which control multible devices. from there, you can place the buttons as you see fit.
and if theres a specific function thats not listed in the device button selection page. you can make custom macro's right in the app and put a macro on whatever button you want (for examle, can have 1 power button macro that would turn on your TV, cable or set-top box, home theater, and blue-ray all with one press)
Smart IR Remote is the best, the guy in last post is absolutly correct. The developer created remotes for me to use in my Tahoe. Panasonic AV that couldn't be found anywhere on earth. Floating remote which is genius and also a plug in for tasker. If u have a problem or suggestions email the developer they will make it or find it or write something for u. U can create your own too. Buy the pro version it will ease your stress level. Having a remote for everything even my truck that doesn't need to switch to WiFi or Bluetooth or whatever.. IR is quite surprising, when my phone rings even driving down the road, everything mutes.
Here is a floating remote I made just to show u. If you care..

I just snagged a 64GB One from Swappa on an impulse buy, should have it within a week. From what I've read, it appears the Sense remote app has a learning function. I'll be flashing CM11, so I was wondering if Smart IR Remote can do that too? If not, do y'all know of any that can? I have some devices that probably won't be in any database.

Im not sure if Smart IR has a learning mode. but i do know the stock sense ir remote that comes with the htc one isnt very good. i tried it for a while and was so happy when i discovered Smart IR Remote. the ONLY downside to SIRR is it may seem overwhelming to new users. but trust me, once you figure out everything, its very very powerful.

Ha, I eat overwhelming for breakfast. 19 hours of college credits this semester with a full time construction job. I usually tend to go for the most complicated/feature heavy apps out there. But I don't think the other phones out there with blasters can also receive signals, at least the One is the only one I've heard of that can. Pretty much the only reason I'd stay with Sense,is for that specific app, and that's really not worth it. I'll definitely email the SIRR dev if they don't have a learning function, because an OS-independent app with that would be amazing. Now how about FM radio? Do you know if Spirit FM is supported on the One?
Good morning everyone!
Was hoping to get some insight / help regarding an issue I've encountered and wondered if any of you have encountered the same.
I use certain Barcode scanner apps for saving money like Shop Savvy. Only when using the One May's camera I get a blurry, out of focus view from using it via the phone. I've never had this problem with other phones.
I thought my camera was defective but I tested on the store demo at Verizon and it had the same issue.
Putting this out there to request your help. I've tried using the different settings on the apps as well as the camera, no luck.
Thank you!
I suggest a replacement
My suggestion is for you to go back to Verizon and get a replacement phone. All during the Christmas shopping, I used my HTC One Max and the Google Goggles app to research prices from barcodes and it worked without a hitch, even on some barcodes which were smeared on the packages. Based on my very good experience, you seem to have a faulty lens. It's a hassle replacing a phone, but sometimes it's necessary.

Hi,
Thank you for mentioning Google Goggles. That APP works GREAT!!! However, I do not think that I have a faulty lens. The pics from everything else comes out great. I also downloaded the Google Goggles app and that app has no problems whatsoever.
Would you mind downloading and using the Shop Savvy APP? Perhaps it's something to do w/ that app as my phone nor the demo at Verizon worked w/ Shop Savvy.
Thank you!
Shop Savvy
I will download Shop Savvy and try it tomorrow.
I have the same issue when attempting to use My Fitness Pal. The camera tries several times to focus but it is never able to pick up the bar code...

If the camera works across multiple other apps then it is not the camera or htcs fault. The devs of the apps you are trying to use need to adjust their app to work properly with the ultrapixel. They are probably making some assumptions in their code about resolution vs pixel density or something along those lines.

I had no problems with my fitness pal and the original HTC one, this happens only on the MAX -> camera / software at fault.

So their apps are probably set up to use ultrapixel with ois.... which ours does not have.

i believe that is not the case, if so each and every app developers needs to optimize for hundred's of cameras which is totally inefficient.
Even if that is the case, there are other hundred cameras which don't have ois and they work fine with the app(s), which obviously show the mobile is at fault.

You are proving my point for me. If many of the camera apps work with the One Max (including other barcode scanner ones) then obviously those developers developed their apps more openly to work with more camera hardware. They likely didnt hard code in certain restrictions and/or assumptions.
None of this matters to me particularly because I wont use barcode apps but I do prefer correct information be provided instaed of people just blaming the manufacturer.
Shop Savvy didn't work
I downloaded and installed Shop Savvy. I tested it on several barcodes and had the same results as described by the original poster. It simply doesn't read them. I was actually in a store with my wife picking up some post-Christmas bargains and was glad I had the Google Goggles, which as I posted earlier works perfectly. It was quite satisfying to find that some of the in store sales had some rather drastic price reductions from what was available online. That's rare.

I am guessing you have a little misunderstanding, its not many of the camera apps, its ALL of the barcode apps on all the HTC One MAX phones which are failing.
It matters a lot for us more than you as we are unable to use this on our phones and we need a way to get this fixed in the future. I can buy your assumptions and probabilities provided you have enough documentation from the manufacturer on the camera API that we are talking about, without that i am afraid that the information cannot be agreed on.
To make things little more clear, i made this experiment on my phone using HTC's camera app. When trying to take a pic of a barcode image, the camera is finding is difficult to auto-focus to arrive at a sharp image at the barcode area of the object, while the same camera at the same distance is able to focus on the same objects area which has text only. Leaves me no other option to say HTC has not optimized it.
I wish you had put yourself into our shoes to learn the issue clearly before commenting on it.
Google Goggles works fine

Did you try Google Goggles (which I mentioned in my previous posts)? It auto focuses perfectly on the barcode as well as reading accompanying text. Looks up the upc code automatically with no user action (like clicking) required. Search results for the product being examined are shown instantly.

Yes I did, for me Google Goggles also has only partial success, but better better than the other apps. If the stock camera app is able to focus (with user interaction) then Google Goggles does succeed, not otherwise.

Let me tell you what I do know "clearly" enough to comment on:

All during the Christmas shopping, I used my HTC One Max and the Google Goggles app to research prices from barcodes and it worked without a hitch, even on some barcodes which were smeared on the packages.

Thank you for mentioning Google Goggles. That APP works GREAT!!! ...I also downloaded the Google Goggles app and that app has no problems whatsoever.

Two of the few posters in this thread can use the Google Goggles app to scan barcodes without problem. So apparantly the One Max camera can scan barcodes. It can.

I know you have your own rom that you cooked yourself which I'm sure you are running on your phone. Have you tried going back stock unrooted bootloader locked s-on and tried the barcode apps? Maybe there is an issue with being unlocked or your rom.
I know you also have a thread about changing out the stock camera for a One ois one. Likely you have messed with many camera settings that may or may not affect your camera results.
Oh... and I know 'real' developers are dropping from the One Max forum like flies...

and OMFG I know that I donwloaded ShopSavvy and it worked for me for the first and every following barcode I freakin' tried with it.
Every. Single. One.

I was going to make a video of me walking through a store scanning barcodes with shop savvy and laughing hysterically but I am trying to be nice. LOL
But it really does work...

we really wish it works for us.. that is what we want.. but unfortunately for us it does not

well, looking at your results makes me wonder if we the affected users have a faulty camera module, after all the initial HTC's ultrapixel camera modules had QC issues during manufacturing like any other hardware. Gives me one more need to change my camera module which i already wanted to experiment on.

Hello --
I am the OP that started this thread. If some of us DO have a faulty camera module, why does the camera appear to work well for photos / video etc? In my case, the camera CAN pick up barcodes but only via the Google Goggles APP. I does not work on Shop Savvy or other related APPS as I get Mr. blurry cam and extreme trouble focusing enough so that it would capture the barcode.
Is there another way we can test to see if some of us have the faulty camera module? My phone is stock. No, changes to anything.
Thank you all for your input.
