you hit the menu button, click on perameters, and then uncheck the box that says "localisation"

but i cant scan anything either. is there suppose to be a red line or something there to tell you where to line up barcode? i get nothing but a camera shot. nothing happens when i put a barcode in front of it

Best situation is that you put it in a well lit spot and that you yourself see a clear barcode on the screen. If you try to do it w/ dim lighting- it isn't gonna work.

I've tried in different parts of the home and found that it had to be nicely lit, otherwise if it's dark, it won't scan

When it starts scanning, you actually notice the camera "focusing" on the image, if you have a clear image - let's say you google a barcode with a well lit monitor on a laptop or computer- it should work


Try using this one: http://teachers.egfi-k12.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/barcode.gif

It was immediate for me

Chances are you're in a store when this happens and hopefully this isn't the sketchy store that's dark and all. Otherwise I don't see why you would pull this out in a bar or somewhere dark- this would make the worse pick up line in history "Hey, I can scan that for you"

It loads up for me, i select phone, scan image, it asks if i want to allow internet connection to retrieve ... I select yes. and it sits at retrieving data... forever

location is set to e911 only, and am on verizon/upgraded stock rom

under location setting, theres ONLY 2 options, neither are off. Ive gone into External GPS and assigned none as the port to use and thats a no go.

Turn off localization to be exact- you don't need to turn anything else off

that happens from time to time- it's a server problem on their end. It works though

worked for me. you do have to turn off gps locator in the program's menu, not for your phone. scanned some empty box at work for an ipod docking station and it got results in about 15 seconds. i don't think it likes the focus on the tp2 (too shaky), but it did work for me.
would have been nice to have 2 weeks ago when i got fleeced buying my daughter some rollerskates. paid twice the internet price.

Tell me bout it- but this will definitely come in handy when I go buy books for class again. Unbelievable how much school bookstores rip you off
