PSA barcode scanner for WP7 - with live tile notifications and live scanning

I've prepared a version of PSA with live scanning from video... the focusing could be tweeked a little bit, but it works very well.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaD33QtOeqA
I've forgotten to switch the ui culture to english so the app in the video is german, but it is availiable in all marketplace supported languages too.
Please feel free to comment...
Update to version 2.0:
The new version (will hit the marketplace in a few days) supports live tile notifications for observed products and will notify you over the psa icon on your homescreen about new offers for watched products.

I've been trying this app since your first version as it was something I was looking forward to having. It has, since then made leaps and bounds and works very well. I've just updated to the latest version, but the video mode isn't there? When will you be updating the marketplace version?
Thanks, James.

Hello James,
the version with live scanning from the video will be ready tomorrow (I've included the possibility to activate the flashlight to scan under bad light conditions and have tweeked my barcode detection algorythm a little bit).
but... using the camera api is not "legal", so I dont't know if this version will pass the marketplace certification. If it will not I, will upload this version in the moment MS takes down the restictitions on the camera api.

This is a nice work with live scan.
Is it possible to include the QR barcode scan? If it does, it will be amazing.
Thanks

Just stumbled upon this app and had to buy it right away, makes a very nice change to see a working barcode scanner app for wp7 and one which also caters for the european market and not usa!
Keep up the excellent work.

Thanks for the nice app. Just bought it. Hope the live scanning features gets approved!

At the moment QR-codes are not planned to implement, becaus "Personal Shopping Assist" was designed to optimize your real world shopping experience. And EAN/UPC-barcodes are the world wide most used barcode types for product ids. And every new barcode type makes the scanning a little bit slower.
Are QR codes used for product id's? if yes can you make an example?
Thanks for your help

QR code scan is a must.

Looks nice, can't wait to use!

[App] Garmin Street Pilot Out Now

Yes Garmin Street Pilot for the USA/Canada only now available in the Market Place.
FPM

2.99.. I guess I can only try it..

it's free in android systems....?Why 2,99?

Cause it's Microsoft. Bought it anyway

It's $2.99, which isn't bad compared to most xbox live games. True it is free on Android (with ads), but I'm fine with the price. Hopefully we get all the add ons & extra levels without having to pay more though. But I haven't been able to stop playing it since I got it, lol. Love having live achievements too.

Does not work on my HD2. Black screen after start of the game and then it goes back to games hub... Anyone having the same problem on HD2?

same problem.

I had that problem for a couple tries, but was due to it being plugged into my xbox to charge. Once I unplugged, no problems.
Were you trying to play it while syncing/charging to your pc? Might be the problem.

nope... no matter what - it starts, screen goes black, then exits.....

I tried it out.. it's fine, although it doesn't seem as smooth and multitouch doesn't work?

works with hd20 1.14, try that rom

I tried it & its not as fluid as on any Android or WM6.5, plus pinch to zoom is hap-hazard.
Maybe its WP7 thats monging? Unless it works great on a true WP7.

If you're using WP7 on HD2, you should know that the multitouch is bugged, no matter in whatever application, from browser to Angry Birds. So I don't think it's Angry Birds' problem, should be because the issue with multitouch in HD2 WP7 is not fixed yet.

Angrybirds very good :d

OK on to Garmin now. Typical Not one for the UK/Euro yet?

Can I use the Garmin Street Pilot GPS for Windows Phone 7 without 3G/Edge ?
Hi:
I am kind of regret that I got the HTC Windows 7 phone. Now I can't use any of the old apps like spacetime, tomtom from my windows 6.5 mobile since I won't be able to install the cabs on the Windows 7 phone. This sucks so bad. How could Microsoft do this?
I see that Garmin came out with a Garmin Streetpilot GPS in the market place for $38.99.
I don't want to buy it until I know what I am buying.
Will I be able to use the Garmin Streetpilot GSPS on my HtC surround 7 phone if I don't have 3G/Edge? I don't want to pay $50 for a data plan every month.
Can I download the maps and everything else via wifi and GPS will work on the road since I can't connect to the internet on the road with wifi?
Thanks

Just like Angry Birds, it's not free Google pays Rovio to make it free so they can increase Android's popularity

Still missing in mango!

Well we all are having few difficulties and wish list for after mango.
So if we add them here again in one place then DFT people can actually know whats the best thing people need badly right now.
for me these few are missing badly:
1) a full features google maps.
2)skype (for godsake atleast an app? IM just sucks after mango!)
3)wireless keyboard( bluetooth )
4) connect my laptop and phone via ad hoc network
5)find on page in IE9.
6)flash ( i dont think its gonna come)
7)a full features android i know is gonna come soon after awesome work of DFT guys but yet a time frame can be much more helpful.
8)If there are a bunch of developers want to make some windows phone games then let me know i am thinking to heed in that direction.
9)connect phone via HDMI cable to any Television screen ( i am on HD7)

i want outlook offline sync like with winmo 6.5

I wish everybody would get off the "I want Android" crap! Go get an HD2 if you can't live without Android! Why did u buy a WP7 if u are just an Android fanboy?

hummm let me tell you why.
On the hardware part HD2 AND HD7 are similar but still there are some features and a kickass stand which makes HD7 a better choice.
WP7 is damn good but at the end its a new OS so it still lacks some of the basic features like skype and flash which are easily available in android.
so if you have the freedom to dual boot it the WP7 can work as primary and whenever you are going to get some things off the shelf you can switch to Android.
Build quality of HD2 is not upto the mark compared to the HD7.
So tell me one reason why android should not be there in a WP7 phone?

Android should not be on a WP7 phone as its a windows phone, if you want an android phone, just go and buy one, get a case with a kick stand on it and jobs done.
on another not, the google maps thing you mentioned, thats not down to microsoft, thats down to google not providing it. once again you could just get an android phone and be done with it.
I got both and have both as each have advantages over each other. my sim is generally in my android at the moment as it seems more logical, i can tether it to my windows phone and play my xbl games and download music and do what i want with my windows phone. and for the rare instances that i actually make a phone call, use my android handset.
oh and build quality, much better on hd2, made out of metal body rather than plastic, and better buttons too. not that the hd7 isnt bad but the hd2 was one of the best ive seen for a long time

to my knowledge you are using an HD2 with android build.
You are against porting android on a WP7 phone but at the end you are using android on a windows mobile.
if you wanted android why did you buy HD2 in the first place?
i think now you get my point that its always better to have choices.
See i dint start this thread for this android battle as i mentioned i started so that DFT guys know whats hot and they can work on that in the first place in their custom ROMs.
So if you want me to say android shouldnt be there OK YOU WIN!! but atleast stick to the topic.

Since when are skype/flash support basic features of any phone?

whats the point of a smartphone if it cannot give me one complete on the Go web experience?
For current scenario Flash atleast for next few years is necessary for uninterrupted web experience.
and skype is ofcourse gonna be a basic function!
you not discussing about the 10$ phones so obviously you CANNOT list calculator and making call as basic function!!
and seems one controversy ends and the other starts!
I mentioned earlier this thread was started with intention to help DFT team to help understand user needs not to fight.
if you still wanna go on then send me a message and we fight on it instead of here.

1] They seem to have made serious improvements on the Bing Maps so hopefully it will improve more and more once they integrate it with Nokia Maps or so I have heard.
2] Skype is definitely coming to WP7
Facebook built in Chat in Messaging App is super brilliant and so is local scout.
To be honest I can't decide whether to use my HD7 or SGS2 .. I seem to keep flipin between them all the time.
The only reason I favour the SGS2 is cause of the better camera and googleplus and of course the apps
Other not sure But I for one will definitely getting a Nokia Phone, cause I am sure Nokia Phones will Rock

1. Once OVI Maps gets intergrated with Bing Maps you can keep Google Maps.
2. You do know that Microsoft owns Skype? Skype will be on Windows Phone. Oh, IM on mango is excellent.
3. What does this have to do with Mango?
4. In Mango, up to carrier to allow it.
5. Agreed and said to be coming.
6. HTML5 is the future. Screw flash.
7. again, what does this have to do with mango?
8. Plenty of good games on windows phone with more to come.
9. Will be a feature on some 2nd gen handsets.

[Q] WP8 Store and Game

Debating on going from my SGS3 to Nokia Lumia 920 but am worried about the microsoft market place.
Is there much choice available on the WP8 store?
Does anyone know if the game 'life is magic' will be on WP8 store (available on ios and droid but cannot see on WP8?
Can the lumia play most video formats or does WP8 still require all data to be pushed/converted via zune still?
If the lumia cannot play these is there an application available for WP8 that allows WP8 devices to use different formats/codecs?
As you may guess i have not used a WP7 or WP8 device before but am getting over my phobia of how ugly the UI is to me and want to try one.

This is the windows 8 section, not the windows phone 8 section. The 2 are not the same thing.

Crap it! Sorry thought i had put in the right place, i should have read it properly!!!

Enough with the drama, the thread was probably moved...

1) Unfortunately, it's near empty compared to iOS/android.
2) Only authors knows. Currently where are no news about WP8 port.
3) It supports mp4/wmv etc, you can download movie to phone and watch it. Third-party players can be installed for not-so-wildspread formats like .mkv
4) Yes, like "Yxplayer". it's commercial, but price is like 3-4$ .
5) My personal opinion - not a good idea. I have switched from Galaxy Note to Nokia 620 just to test new OS. Android/iOS are better right now.

Excellent, thanks for the honest response. Think i may hold off for either the new nokia with xenon flash or hold off still until ubuntu raises it's head.

I have a Note 2 as my main phone and 620 as a secondary. IMHO, the 620 works extremely well as a secondary phone. The 920 is simply too expensive for such a role. To be honest, the WP8 is simply too raw to be a main OS. Too many missing apps and fundamental OS features.

I have a LUmia 520 build update

You could probably charge me 50 bucks for this app and I would buy it. I really like my WP compared to the other two alternatives. But I absolutely have to have full blown firefox with adblocker on my phone. Heck I might pay as much as 100 bucks.
Get a kickstarter going and I will donate and link it everywhere. This project must happen.

hope it goes ahead with the project!

PM me if you need any beta testing .. I'm running a Lumia 630 Dual Sim -- W10M

It's the real Firefox?

Hello, I can convert the app!
I do know how to convert the ipa file to an appx file! I am testing the app and it works great! I am working in the app to run on PCs and tablets!
