Heya folks,
I'm looking for a solution to scan ISBN codes from my book collection into a some sort of library or catalog database.
I'm wondering if someone here would know of a software that can be used on the HTC TyTN II (at&t Tilt), or any Win Mobile device with a camera.
I've found the Barcode/13 program, but that's only for palmOne Treo 600. I could work with something similar just to create a CVS file of ISBN numbers and transfer that to another program on my PC, but would rather have an all-in-one software.
Thanks,
Zyir
I'm also looking for a way to integrate barcode scanning into a .NET app. For the enterprise...I'd like to keep track of assets.
sounds like you want to use the built-in camera.
I've used PPCs to do barcode reading using SerialMagic and the LaserCHamp Bluetooth scanner from http://serialio.com/
It works quite well.

I might have to go that route, but would rather find a software that will use the Kaiser's camera to read the barcodes.
I'm trying to avoid purchasing an additional device just to scan a couple hundred books.

Yeah, it's just that the idea is to avoid having them lug around a barcode scanner to track assets. If they have to carry something extra we can just get to a computer. =/

Will QuickMark scan linear (1D) barcodes like the ISBN on books? Everything I've found indicates that it only reads 2D barcodes (like QR Codes, etc.).

From the link... "Microsoft Research AURA project and all AURA services have terminated as of June 30, 2007."
From what I've found, that would have worked for what I want, but alas...
Batoo
There seems to be a free java implementation that decodes 1D barcodes. I had no success trying it on my kaiser: http://people.inf.ethz.ch/adelmanr/batoo/
Perhaps it is a good starting point to use this source to develope something useful.
I found this a while ago. I think I remember their SDK was free for 1D codes, or something. I forget, check the link. Cool video included.
http://www.mobileama.com/Barcode.htm
EDIT: Yep, this is what you want.
I was able to find a download for Microsoft's A.U.R.A.
It's kinda nifty to play with. It'll scan 1D barcodes, but I'm not finding any options to export the codes after they've been scanned. Also, it requires a 'manual' photo of the barcode; it opens the camera utility and ya use it like taking a normal macro photo (Zoom in, hope your hand is steady, and snap, then find a blurry image. Repeat multiple times until ya get a clear image that can be read).
QuickMark and i-nigma are great for 2D barcodes; they both make good use of the device's auto-focus and will read a 2D barcode without the need to manually take a photo. Though, neither of them will read 1D linear barcodes like the ISBN numbers on the books I'd like to scan.
Also, the one that Notten pointed out ( http://www.mobileama.com/Barcode.htm ) looks like it would work wonderfully, but I wasn't able to find any Windows Mobile software that uses it, nor a download for a working implementation.
So, does anyone else know of something that could be used by an individual who just wants to scan their books with an HTC Windows Mobile device?
I'm still hoping for something more like 'Barcode/13', or an inventory software that will make use of the device's camera.
Thanks,
Zyir

I may just have to bite the bullet and buy a cheap barcode scanner to connect to my PC instead.
A solution for Bluryyyy photo
Jus look for a post where they have a new camera Apps to upgrade the one that comes with your TyTN II aka tilt, aka kaiser, aka etc. With this update you just need to do a halfpress release and it will autofocus and shoot, and there you go nog blurry images.
I used it with the Worlcard Mobile aplication to get a photo of our patients Health Plan Card, and without that new camera apps it would be a pain in the #$%$%@%@%.
So give it a try. Search for NEW CAMERA in the Forum.
Building my own
Since I haven't found any ready-made and free solution, I started experimenting on my own in C#. I have managed to develop a basic functionality where the application automatically takes snapshots (320x240, no autofocus... thanks to www.wimobot.com) and does the recognition. Well, the recognition algorithm is still in a very alpha-stage (it can detect the stop bits of a code-128)...
Anybody with some links to free C# recognition source to speed up things? I will also try the batoo code (java) sometime.

Thanks, udgn. I already have the 'new camera' and video framerates are greatly increased outdoors. Sadly, it didn't help the fact that I tend to move the camera a bit as I press the button, which is the main cause of my blurry photos with indoor lighting.
Back on topic...
I've also run across Google's ZXing project ( http://code.google.com/p/zxing/ ) but it's a Java implementation that doesn't run on Windows Mobile devices. Yet.

Own application partial success

Great find Zyir!
I took the code, converted it into c# and incorporated it in the app I'm developing and... well, there was partial success! I have attached the binary (Usual disclaimer applies: I have NO RESPONSIBILITY whatsoever for any harm done!).
The application is in alpha stage but usable. Unzip in any directory and run using a file manager. Button "Shoot" opens the normal photo-shooting app to take a photo (thus utilizing higher resolution and auto-focus), while "Live" starts auto capture (320x240, no auto-focus). The whole "thing" is quite slow, as the decoding takes a while.
I had successful decoding using the "live" mode reading a code-128 barcode (that had previously shoot in my local supermarket) displayed on my laptop's screen.
hope to hear any feedback!

Great, I'll give it a shot!

I'll give it a whirl this evening and let ya know how it went.
Zyir
I didn't have a lot of time last weekend to check it out, but it didn't scan well for me. It wouldn't read any barcodes with "Shoot" or "Live". The Live ran at avout five seconds per frame, so was a bit of a challenge to get the camera on the barcode.
Might be due to the relatively low lighting in my house. Also, I'm using Nadavi's Camera 5.0.4.2915.00 with HTC Album, so I'm not sure if that might be part of my issue.

Hi all devs,
Please use this thread for questions related to the information in the article:

nice to se Sony getting involved with the costumers.. keep it that way

Great to see you going all out with the new improved Android stategy. Just a nitpick though:
The "Why rebuild the kernel?" section doesn't really make sense. I'd say theming and removing apps is as far from kernel-related as you can get while staying within the confines of Android. I'm sure you know that as a developer and that it's just that the text has passed through the PR department a few times. Perhaps you can say something like "It allows you to add new features and get the latest security fixes".
Thank you for this
Very nice to see you on XDA
Phear not my friendly X10 phonez will see the light of day in this thread too!

Refer back to this post to get thing's into context, there are custom kernels and the files provided by Bin4ry, Goroh and Jerpelea are available - *advanced development skills required* - It will be simplified and much work continues to make this happen for the community as AOSP.

Hello there, im trying to build the kernel contained in the "3.0.A.2.181_182.tar.bz2" file.
I used the -i option because it halts at a warning:

Higher benchmarking and to see the full power ( i think)
If the screen refresh rate is 60Hz, the fps limit helps prevent tearing

I shall thank you very much for the effort you are putting to close the gap between the customer and the firm itself. As we know, this really improves your company image and the satisfaction of your client.
The relationship company/customer is changing in these years, and it's all done by the internet. And the idea which sustains the internet, Open Source.
It's allowing communication, an extremely powerful tool which has to be used wisely.
Hope that Sony is capable of understand that the community (us, xda) could only give a big help to further improve your software.
But we do expect a well-written software to start from, as the Arc is able to show now.
Please do not even think "oh well.. let's not spend money on sw development.. xda will do". Wrong. Wrong.
We are here to refine your product, give you suggestion (not only on sw but also on hardware), not creating.
You are walking on the correct path now, Sony. And with us at your right, I'm sure we will going a long way

Hi devs,
First of all I would like to thank you for the nice comments and the warm welcoming here at XDA.
I see some comments in regards to the X10 and I tried to give an answer at our blog.
And for the specific technical questions I needed some help from my great colleague James.
James comments below:
@sim-value
“I have no idea what’s going on here. I’ve tried the files again, and it does compile fine. Could you please share what environment you are working in, Linux distribution, CodeSourcery version and variant, etc, I could try more..”
@DooMLoRD
“I know there’s been a lot of discussions regarding framerate caps, and let me assure you, it’s all to improve the user-experience.
Disabling the framerate cap will degrade the visual appearance, introducing tearing artifacts, and stuttering when navigating lists, etc.
However, assuming you just want higher figures when benchmarking, and care less about the experience, here’s the general steps:
1. You need to set the system property “debug.gr.swapinterval” to 0. A typical command for this would be:
adb shell setprop debug.gr.swapinterval 0
2. For this to take effect, you will need to restart the system-server. You could do this with:
adb shell
stop zygote
start zygote
Also, please note that this setting is not “persistent”, meaning that the next time you reboot your device, the setting will reset to 1 unless you’ve modified your initrd to do this at every boot.”
Hope we can continue to have an ongoing dialogue with you devs! Specifically I would like to thank
For the people reading this, I, and the people from the Sony Ericsson Developer Program will be at GoogleIO tomorrow, please come and meet with us at the Sony Ericsson booth.
Let’s keep the dialogue going!
/Karl-Johan
@KalleD
thank you for your reply...
I have both the X10 & Arc and I was really amazed to see the difference in performance when I used the Arc (with 60fps caps) in comparison to X10 (30 fps cap)... the X10 is noticeably laggy because of this software cap... at the X10 forums we have some custom kernels in the beta stage... One of the devs was able to implement a kernel with uncapped fps and we are very happy with the performance... will it be possible for SE Devs to provide some sort of solution for raising this fps cap to 60 fps or removing it all-together, in form of future kernel releases (open source contributions) or kernel modules (.ko files)?

Iv done worse things in life, like im sure a lot of people have lol.

honestly, after the x10 (mini) disaster regarding firmware upgrades, I wasn't sure that I'll stay on the S/// road (which i've been on for about 8 Years now!). But this is just great, and I can't wait till I get my hands on the new xperia pro & mini pro!
Meanwhile, I was thinking: Is it possible, to also trigger the LED Backlight under the hardware keys (on the front) if there is any notification color blinking on the side? I'm pretty sure the hardware backlight LED is only white color, but still. If this one keeps on blinking, you can easily check the LED on the side or wake up your arc.
The present LED notification system on the arc is pretty much useless (sorry for that!), and I'm glad to see you guys changed it back on the xperia mini pro!

+1 on the configurable front LED lights! Love the Arc, but the badly places LED lights is a lil bit of a downer.
But to see actually SE developers on XDA creating a thread to help external devs out is down right shocking! I had an x10 too and the experience was less than satisfactory (support wise). But this, this is an almost revolutionary move by SE.
Kudos to the SE team and whoever it was in SE's top management to give this initiative the go ahead.
Also, a special thanks to you Karl-Johan Dahlstrom for taking the effort to reach out to devs/customers etc. Someone should start a fan page of yours on fb. lol
+1 on all of that.. it's a brilliant and indeed revolutionary move..
@KalleD - Big issue for us right now is in creating some kind of recovery solution.. Xrecovery from the X10 and CWM don't work and the devs are struggling to figure it out.. is there anything you can do to help out with this - I guess people are rightly concerned about flashing stuff to their phone without a recovery option!
Cheers.

zdzihu & Bin4ry have been trying to get the recovery binaries, which were working with X10 (QSD8250) to work on Arc (QSD/MSM8255), but seems to be some compatibility issue... since they dont have device to test... its taking longer...
Hello,
Im looking for help, i need a program for windows (8, 8.1) for capturing destkop to a bmp/png file. But it cant be just any program.
1st, the screenshot must be accurate, no big compression, bmp/png file preferable
2nd, it must do series of screenshots, like 100, 200, 300 screenshots every given amount of time
3rd, most important,the time between each screenshot must be as low as 50-100 miliseconds
This excludes all the garbage applications spamming first sites of google search, i found one quite good program caled Autoscreencapture2 but it can only do screenshots every 300-500ms
Eventually, do you know any program that may record a desktop (to a movie file) but also without compression so the recording is accurate and there are no blurs? I tried fraps but its not compatibile with windows 8 and 8.1
Thanks much for help in advance.

Within Windows 8/8.1/10 there's 2 methods for doing this without having to install any 3rd party software.
1) Using your keyboard, just press the following key combination:
"Window-Logo" & "PrtScn"
*Be sure to press the Window-Logo first and then, while holding that key down, press the PrtScn and then release them both.*
The screenshot will then be auto-saved (as a .png file) inside a "Screenshots" folder that will be created within your "Pictures" folder of your profile.
You'll be able to locate this directory as follows:
a) C:\Users\{insert your User Profile Name here}\Pictures\Screenshots\
b) %UserProfile%\Pictures\Screenshots\
2) An "oldie but, still a goodie" method by pressing the PrtScn first and then open Microsoft Paint and then paste and the screenshot will be pasted for you to manually save anywhere.
That's about the basics of it.
The first method, i believe, was a feature that was introduced beginning with Windows 8 but, I'm not sure since i hadn't used that method until I was on Windows 8.
I wish you the best of luck!

Assuming in-game data is stored in the AppData folder, you could (theoretically) modify some files and results should appear.
Problems you are facing:
-you have a Lumia (so you can't really modify any files because no proper unlock is available)
-we don't know how the game stores it's data (weird file format, etc.)

If the game programmers are followed by the standard scheme only The apps can save data in any format...
Yeah, there's no guarantee that they used the IsolatedStorageSettings feature to store that data. Might have, might not have.
There's also no guarantee that it's unencrypted. Encrypting the data using DPAPI is easy, but makes editing it much harder.
You also could easily get your game account banned. Xbox Live games are known to have anti-cheating mechanisms; Throne Wars may not but then, they might.
But yeah, the key problem for you right now, aside from moderately questionable ethics (let me guess: this is one of those games where if you need more money you're expected to pay a few dollars for it?) is that your phone has no "interop-unlock" or similar "jailbreak" available right now, so you don't have any way to access the app's isolated storage at all. Thus, you can't change it.

you would need a developer unlock for that (search development & hacking section to get that on your lumia). Next grab Windows phone power tools from here: http://wptools.codeplex.com/ . Install a XAP of the game (you need to find one yourself) usinf power tools. Next you run the game, after that you can copy its data to a pc using Isolated Storage feature in power tools. enjoy.
Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (model: SM-N950F) since may 2018.
The screen failed recently just after updating Bixby. But I don't think it's due to this update.
May be an electrical problem? But before sending back my Note 8 to fix the screen I have to backup my datas.
With an almost all green screen and a password to enter as to unlock the phone, it's quite an impossible mission.
But I just did the job today and succeeded to backup my datas on my pc laptop with the Smart Switch Samsung Software.
I have professional "Samsung Notes" and it's urgent for me to find them back for work.
The problem is how to open the sdoc.snmm file in the directory SAMSUNGNOTE (from the backup stored on my laptop).
I renamed the file as a zip one and opened it with Winzip which can now display 3 files as following:
SDOC.BK, SMARTSWITCHBACKUP.JSON, et SSMDUMMYVALUE.XML.
SDOC.BK is the bigger one. Almost 97% of the total 3 files percentage.
I think it's this file which contains all Samsung Notes I did with my S pen!
But how to manage that file? I red on other forums that we can read the Samsung notes files as PDF files from a Windows PC.
But the files would have to be first exported in PDF format from the Note 8. And as I can not read anything on my screen Note 8,
I can do nothing from the Note 8.
Then, is it possible to open that SDOC.BK with a specific software? Or do I have to change the extension BK into PDF?
If you could help me to find a solution it would be great!

If you ever figure a way to do this please share.

It's a little late and I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter anymore by now, but I'm pretty sure those are proprietary formats. Renaming them won't make it able to read it. I think the only way is to export them from the Notes app, unfortunately.
Have you tried Samsung Notes app for Windows? Maybe that helps...

Hello
I tried to get the samsung notes application but the download link failed. I chatted with US samsung support. They say that this application is no more available since january 2018 as they have bugs to fix.
8 months later it still being "off"!! It must be very big bugs! If someone succeeded to manage his samsung notes with a Windows 10 PC it would be kind to share a copy of it. Please note that the french samsung support was not aware of this problem as the software download link was "broken". They added this was a Microsoft problem as the samsung note software is distributed by and for Microsoft corporation. By the way, the customer is invited to find a solution with Microsoft not with Samsung! What about the samsung engineers working to fix the soft? I do not understand this way to give... "no solution". It's not serious for a such big Company like Samsung! Thanks for your attention. Regards Eric
I installed Notes for Windows on my new Notebook 9 Pro in April this year. Synchronization ensures I can open and work on the Notes both on the Note 8 and the Notebook 9 Pro....
Could be that there is no windows Notes app for non-samsung or non-pen equipped pcs.
If any of you are still wondering, use this link filext.com/file-extension/SDOC . upload your .sdoc file, from that click the text.dat one at the very end then copy and paste to a word document or something. You will need to edit it but at least you can still keep everything you typed. For pictures it is the one with .JPG . Sometimes the text is saved as JPG, in this case press the one that says .spd which is like another file, then click the very first one (think it ends with .page) then you can copy the text which they will show below. Hope this helps since it helped me recover quite a couple of .sdoc notes.
This link, from my Android phone, works to push the Samsung Notes app to my PC Windows account:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/samsung-notes/9nblggh43vhv
Trying to install the app from the store directly from the non-Samsung PC had failed.
The Samsung Notes Windows 10 app can sync your notes between your phone and your PC.
I hope that helps.

I know it's super late, but I was just having this problem. I found an older version and it is working great so far: https://www.xda-developers.com/get-samsung-notes-windows-10-app/
