I know this is a little late to the original post, but have you found a solid QR Code reader yet?
Isn't Amazonit just for looking up pricing on Amazon via a QR Code? I saw it for download on Omarket, but haven't installed yet, as it's not highly rated?
I need more of a universal reader to download software directly to my device via the QR Code.
I haven't found one yet. QuickMark replied to an email I sent to them and said that it's not very likely they will ever have a version specific for the eXpo. Here is the email I got from them:
Thank you very much for your email and continued interest in QuickMark.
The hTC versions of QuickMark are unlikely to work on the LG eXpo as we use hTC's proprietary camera SDK for a majority of their devices to access the camera.
As you already know, the DS-ADV version is the most generic one we have that uses the Microsoft's media framework for accessing the camera. (Asus P320 uses the DS-ADV version)
It has the highest chance of opening the camera for untested WinMo devices. If the screen orientation is rotated, it can be adjusted with the DS-ADV version via Preview Settings.
However, it is still possible for device manufacturers to implement or customize MS's framework differently per device, even amongst products of the same brand and same OS platform. Such technical information is also hard to obtain as they are usually not released publicly.
Therefore, there are at least 2 requirements for us to optimize a version for a particular phone model: 1) sample device 2) camera SDK. Unfortunately, we have neither at this time for the LG eXpo.
Since we have updated DS-ADV in the past few weeks (should give a larger viewfinder than the one you previously tried), you may give it a shot if you have not already done so.
We regret to say that we cannot guarantee whether we will ever fully support the LG eXpo, but it is something we will look into should the required resources become available.
If you have any further questions or comments please let us know.
Best regards,
QuickMark Team
The one part that I find to be total bullshit is "there are at least 2 requirements for us to optimize a version for a particular phone model: 1) sample device 2) camera SDK". They have a f****** version for the Dell Streak for f**** sake! They have versions for phones that have JUST come out (Droid X for example) and yet they have absolutely nothing for the expo which has been out since December of last year. At least that's when I got mine.
I requested a copy of the latest version of their generic version called "DS-ADV". Once I get it, I'll try it and post results.
Mod edit: Please refrain from using profanity in your posts.
