Hey guys, I get a few different emails that have pictures with surrounding text. And since i've upgraded from WM 6.0 to 6.1 for some reason the pics are so small that i can't read the text that is on them. Is there anyway to enlarge the pics at all or zoom into them? I searched and saw someone refer to scrolling, that didn't work. And as far as changing the text size, well that changes the text size AROUND the pics, but not the pic itself.
anyone got any insight? i've started to notice that with lots of my emails when i download the pics they are all scaled down in size which is making them blurry and illegible
ok, i tried changing roms, changing from imap4 to pop and nothing is working. and its not just the dilbert daily email i receive, its all emails with pics in them. all images are blurry, and im' not sure whats up with it. does ANYONE have any idea how to fix blurry images. tried looking under gmail support for pop/imap4 and didn't find a thing.
Emails with embedded images will have them resized whatever you do, short of switching to using another mail application. If the images are attachments then clicking on them will bring up the image viewer and it will be fine.

the reason I've been concerned about it is I used to have the emails open up just fine when I first got my phone and set up email with the q-mobile 1.2 ROM. I dunno if the ROM somehow effected it, but I was always able to read the images in the emails. as soon as I went to 6.1 I lost it. tried 6.1 w/out the bloaatware, duttya 6.1, and not a treo fans manilla 2d now. but if email is always "supposed" to be like this I guessi have to settle then

I also faced this issue with the daily dilbert mails. no i do the below and it works fine.
First click on download internet pictures. Dont click on tab to scroll right now. Let it download the pictues, and then click the tab to scroll right link and you can see the comic is a bigger size. hope this helps

ok ill give that a shot tomorrow when I get their next email, hopefully it works
i dont know the hell is going on with my phone, but after a while it went back to display the images properly, now its back to showing them improperly. And i just figured out whats wrong with it. Its not that its not downloading the pictures appropriately, its that when i click the "tap to scroll" it doesn't "unwrap" the images all the way. for example, at the top of the email there is actually a long picture selction bar that says "home-->most popular-->strips-->animation->mashups->blog" in my desktop email these are all in line with one another. but for some reason why i click tap to scroll, blog appears on a second line.
anyone know whhat could be stopping the images from fully "unwrapping"?

After reading a post here or in another forum I stumbled across a program called BARCORAMA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368798
Its a program that lets you scan UPC barcodes with your camera and then goes out to the internet to let you find the lowest price online for that item...already saved me quite a bit...and made shopping feel sortof fun for once...fealt like a spy..LOL
Works Awesome on my touch Pro...strangely seems to work better when I zoom to 2x and take the picture than when im in close

I got the app working great on a touch pro.
Except I changed the default to pop open skyfire for the browser, and also piped it into Google shopping search engine, rather than just google. B/c in shopping it already shows the prices and places to buy.
Neat app! Thanks. Minor suggestion, offer the ability to put a path for the images and / or a way to name it when you shoot the UPC.

What URL did you use to make it use Google Shopping search engine?

did you add the +100... in that string? Sorry for the silly question, and thanks for the help if you can answer.

open the app, go into settings and hit the right arrow until you see the google address. then replace the word "search" with "products"
EDIT: works well. i zapped every item on my desk at work and it found them all.

LOL...no, sorry for the misunder standing. I was trying to add credability to the other guys post of pointing it to google shop instead of just google. I wanted to just put +1 as in I am also wanting this, but you have to have 10 characters to make a post.
mine is not working everything i scan says no barcode i have the pro and question what is it suppose 2 say for program 2 run
does anybody have an idea of why its not working
Zoom in to 2.0 on the camera and try again.
still not working do i have 2 upgrade the rom 2 use this program
is there a cab file for this? or how do install this to my phone? just use sync and drag and drop it into my program files??
yeah I found Standing further away from the barcode and doing a 2.0 Zoom really helped...I make the barcode fill the screen and make sure its sharply focused before taking the picture...
...In terms of how to install...i created a folder called Shopping in my Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder and dropped the EXE file in there...You will then see the folder in your Windows/Programs area....i put it in its own folder because it saves each barcode where the program is installed and i didnt want them in my programs menu.
Yeahh....I found a new way to kill time and kill my battery...lol
I've run out of things to scan around the house.
I now know the best prices of everything in my work place...lol
I even depressed a few when I showed them better prices......
Walmart thinks I'm a spy...lol....had to turn of the sounds while taking pictures of barcodes....Security was confused too.....
This really is an achievement! Thanks to the creator of Barcorama.....
To change to shopping in google
The above poster is right, just change search, in the http string to product and that's it. Then it shows you a listing of prices and locations, pretty slick.
As for the person not getting it to work, it won't work if you're megapixels is set to 3MP, I dropped mine down to 1MP and that did it for me.

More things to scan
Hey noellenchris, don't forget all your cd's and coffee table books, or IT books....
I even scanned a can of Progresso soup and it found it. Crazy.

Keep your phone upright when you take the picture. I found if I turned the phone sideways and took the picture, it would not find the barcode. Keep the phone straight up and down when you take the pic.
I changed my camera to take a picture on Touch instead of Touch and Press. Right after it autofocuses, it'll take the picture. Getting much better results this way since when I would use Touch and Press, when I would press to take the picture, my hand would move.
I just downloaded / installed live search mobile, and noticed on the maps, no matter how much you zoom in, you cannot read the street names very well because they are rendered so small. This is even at maximum zoom.
Any suggestions or solutions?
Besides get glasses
I have the same complaint. I can read the directions part just fine, but not any of the street names.
Ditto. There are a few threads on this now, and none of them so far have any answers. Street name font size is too small, unreadable, in both Google Maps and Live Search Mobile on the Fuze / Raphael / Touch Pro.
Send feedback! Complain to the people who can actually do something!
[email protected]
I did em the LS team, but kudos for posting that e-mail address. I hope anyone else who's having this issue with the Fuze and Live Search will e-mail them too. LS for VGA! ;-)
Not sure what you mean
I have WLS version 3.5.8198.0 on my Fuze, and when I'm zoomed down to the street level on a map, the street names are perfectly clear. Remarkably so, in fact. Do you have this version?
I can zoom in all the way, but as soon as the screen is rendered, the text is WAY to small to read. It is just not displaying properly for VGA resolution.
Text is too small for me too.
Its perfectly readable but NOT WHEN DRIVING!

Yes. Sorry, I should've specified the version. I too am using WLS version 3.5.8198.0 on the Fuze. Yes, the fonts are stunningly clear; that's the new 480x640 VGA screen for ya! Love it. It's great, actually, when you're viewing the map zoomed out, i.e. for an entire county or state; much more detail than Google Maps. But when you zoom in, the fonts stay at the same microscopic 4-point size. So, impossible to read while driving -- certainly if the phone's clipped to the dashboard, a foot or two away. And there's no need for the fonts to be so tiny at full zoom; the screen's basically empty. It should be a simple fix; the street-name font size should increase as you zoom in. I've e-mailed the WLS team to this effect, and encourage anyone else who's interested to do so too; their address is:

Google Maps has the same microscopic font issue. Though thanks for informing me of the street view update. WTF is with google not auto-informing users of updates? There is also no one step update function. Google is really dropping the ball lately. Apparently they are more interested in drinking wheat grass juice than they are at making their apps easy to use.
I was using ACV but I heard it was a big battery drain (And was making my NC feel a little warm) does anyone have a better suggestion?
I use the "Perfect Viewer" app. Just takes some practice memorizing the touch screen commands and it becomes very easy to use.
I second the recommendation for PV. And i tried a few others before settling.

Yup, PV is great. I tried ACV and it made my screen go dark and unresponsive. Didnt like it at all. Dose any one know if PV can rotate if I flip the screen/device?
Yes, PV can rotate automatically, but you have t change it in the preference menu.
After a couple if weeks i've really gotten the hang of the various touch options. it just might be my favorite thing to do with this

I used to use ACV, but am now using Perfect Viewer. It seems much snappier to me.
Hands down comic reader mobi. I literally bought the nook for this app.

Sorry if this is a silly question but were is PV's menu?
I've tried them all but JJ Comics Viewer worked best for me. I liked how it told me the page number at the bottom.
I didn't really like the onscreen touch stuff on Perfect Viewer and it didn't automatically go to the next .cbr file. Mobi didn't have pinch to zoom and was too expensive. JJ is quite fast and doesn't have as many problems with large files. Try it out.

Ill try jj tonight. The PV menu is invoked when viewing a photo. Use hit the menu key, with softkeys/button savior, and it will appear at the bottom as a whole set of options. Click the toolbox icon.
Includes option to jump to next cbr automatically.

Ok gotta give it up for jj comic. Does 2 things pv doesn't- zoom past full resolution and can crop white space
Sent from my Nookcolor
I've settled on the stock pdf reader for the NC. I have just taken all my cbz files, etc. and used Jomic to convert them all to pdf. None of the other other programs felt as comfortable, at least for me.

Yup, that did the trick, thanks. I also set it for Bicubic. So far I've only loaded one comic onto this thing but I can tell that when I have my whole library on here its gonna be sweet.
Can you explane what you mean by "zoom past full resolution"? Is that a good thing

Here's a question - how can I set the NC to open a PDF with the B&N Reader? If I open the file from the Library app, it opens with QuickPDF If I open the file using Astro I can read it using the B&N reader. I hate that I can't manage which file types open in each application as on a normal Android device. Any tips?

PV will zoom out (less than 100%) and use scaling algorithms like bicubic and averaging to make the image look smooth. But (to my knowledge) it will not zoom past 100%. The problem is that, when I use lanscape mode to view a row of comic panes, if the width of the image is less than 1024 pixels, it will not fit the width of the screen.
JJ will zoom in (greater than 100%) so it will fill the screen regardless of the resolution of the original.
I hope that helps.

I'm not questioning your choice, I'm just curious as to what was worse about "perfect viewer" or "jjcomic" that was better when using a pdf viewer. Because personally I find viewing comics on such a small screen requires maximum speed and flexibility in terms of zooming, rotating and page turning, and I've found the pdf viewers I've tried to be slow and inflexible.
If anyone watched me while reading a comic on this thing, they'd think I was a crazy person (rotate, pinch, tap, rotate back, doubletap).

Actually, as techy as that was, I got it. Made perfect sense. Thanks. I'll have to give it a try. I'm also intrigued by Mobi's supposed ability to pop out blocks of text but at this time I cant afford to try it. All my free money went to the Nook
I upload photos on my Samsung ATIV S I8750 through my lap top using USB connection. Photos are named from 01.jpg to 97.jpg, so, when i open albums on the Photos hub it shows all the photos in that album but not in order from 01-97 like it should. Instead of that photos are starting from 01.jpg in order to lets say 32.jpg then continues down from 60.jpg to 97.jpg (which should be on the bottom since its last) and then continues to down from 33.jpg to 59.jpg (in this case its the last picture). I did this with names (numbering) pictures just to show you the point (which in this case it is as it is). So, pictures are somehow messed up, and not in order like they should be because i intentionally put picture names with numbers because i wanted them in that order. Hope you got my point here. There is not an option like "Sort by names" or "Sort by Type" or "Sort by Date", etc. like back in time in windows mobile devices we had. So, in hope that you got my minor stupid problem, i would ask if there is some trick or solution so i can view my pictures in sorted order?
Maybe this a stupid question but i am new in WP8 devices so kinda this is new for me and i am keen to learn more like i learned everything about Windows Mobile 6.x.x. devices from you XDA-Developers guys.
Cheers.
P.S. If i open the same album with some kind of File Explorer (like in this case for example with Total Explorer) i see pictures in order from 01-97, not messed up.
