[Q] Looking for a Price Scanner app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone, Do you know any price scanner app for Galaxy Nexus? It should work like those PC softwares in grocery store scanners. However, instead of a separate scanner and a scanner software it will be on an app and then uses an android camera phone to scan and then records the scanned products per transaction then tabulate it in an excel file in a computer (possibly needs a bluetooth or USB to connect to a computer). It should also able to record new bar codes for new products. Is there any similar scanner available here?

Im looking for an app which functions like those scanners found in grocery store cashiers. It should function like that but the recorded scan should be saved on a laptop or pc not in an android phone. It should be somewhat a replacement to the scanners found in cashiers.
Are there any available apps like that?

[Q] MyNet feature

Has anyone here tried the "MyNet" feature of the tablet to control a computer through your tablet? How do you like it?
I'd like to take advantage of that for websites which stream video but are not compatible with mobile browsers of any kind. It would probably require being on the same wifi network but either way, pretty neat.
BTW, I love my Prime!! Got the issue with gps signal capture but I got my cell phone to direct me if I'm lost in my car.

The app is called splashtop. I believe there are a couple of threads talking about this application. Just to let you know there is a THD version that is up on the market now that works better and faster then the bundled version though it costs money. I am using it now and can connect to my home computer from work and its super fast. I love it. Use it at work all the time during meetings to connect to my desktop. The bundled version will close the connection on you due to a bug in that version. The THD version does not have this issue.
Just my 3 cents.

actually hes talking about the MyNet app that comes with the prime
its not a desktop mirroring tool it just allows streaming of media (pics videos music) to the prime from a pc
its actually pretty cool in how well it does it but it can stream MKVs though
It also allows the downloading of the files from the pc to the prime...its a nice way of moving files without having to plug in or use a sd card or dropbox
i wish it allowed folder downloading or multiple downloading rather than having to do a single file at a time.
Yeah, the MyNet app is a DLNA app for streaming media between DLNA devices. To me it seemed to be a decent proof of concept app, but I have found three apps that do a better job: 2player, BubbleUPnP, and iMediaShare.
iMediaShare can stream from several internet sources to your DLNA devices, but it's unfortunately still not optimized for tablets. It forces you into portrait mode.
For streaming music from my Prime to my blu-ray/stereo, I typically use BubbleUPnP.

Well when you read the op he states talking about controlling your laptop.....was confusing.....i use MovieBrowser UPnP.....just love the way it organizes the movies.......
So Op, sorry for the confusion.
I've used both apps and had good success with them.
I really like the MyNet app though as its a simple program that lets my stream movies/tv shows from my NAS to the TV in my bedroom. No more lugging the laptop up the stairs and clearing a space to put it!

Are you sure you mean the mynet app or do you the splashtop hd remote pc access function in the my cloud app?
From reading your poast I think that you mean teh My desktop feature in the my cloud app which is splashtop HD remote app which links up with a splashtop streamer app on your PC !! and this does not require you to be on the same wifi connection...I often use it to connect to my pc when away from home to check on email accounts etc
I'm sorry, it is the "mycloud" icon on the screen that I meant. From there you find the "my desktop" option which uses splashtop.
i know it is off topic....but i have used PhoneMyPC for years. love it. great app for controlling your various PCs from your android.
Loving mynet, works flawless with all my gizmos. Sitting waiting for someone to start using cornerstone in a rom and i will use it as my main tv interface.

[Q] Live Video from Android to Android over wifi/3G

I'm looking for the best software for streaming audio/video from android to android, t his question is 2 fold.
1 I would like to use my old POS zte racer android device with a resistive screen and 3.2mpxl camera as a video monitor in my babies room, over wifi hopefully
2 I would like to duct tape an old android device to the front of my RC monster truck and drive it through an apple store... on fire. Over 3G or perhaps wifi hotspot from my good phone, shared with the duct taped bumperdroid.
IP Camera app?
Whilst it is not a bespoke android to android solution one option available to you would be to an install an ip camera app on the POS device and simply view its feed via the browser of your good phone. I have had good success using this system monitoring a cat with a zte blade as the camera.
I would recommend the app IP Camera for the POS
(I would post a link but 1st post)
There is also a supported viewer app for your good phone although I personally just used the browser. Tiny cam monitor
One thing to highlight is with this solution you could also view the feed on a bigger screen such as a tablet / laptop etc.
"IP camera" seems to work well, I wonder if it will be stable enough
hw abt "JUSTIN" ?
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
Justin seems to be more of a broadcast system than a surveillance system, though I appreciate the thought and I think I could use that for something else, the IP camera app managed to run the entire weekend straight and it still going, and it provides authentication and live streaming to VLC that I can bring up on my TV and computers as well, ultimate baby monitor

Using my Prime with Apple TV

A couple of guys in the office have recently gotten iPads & the boss is now talking about getting a couple of iTV's for the meeting rooms - to compensate for the fact that they never put proper IT infrastructure in there...
Will it be possible for me to connect with my TP? I'd hope to be able to flick through images, show & mark up .pdf's and possibly open some CAD files on the telly screen. Being able to use YouTube & play movies would be a bonus...

You didn't use use google didn't you?
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/airplay
One option would be doubleTwist with the optional AirSync plug-in (which adds the Airplay functionality). Otherwise, you could just mirror the Prime's display using the micro hdmi output directly to the television for a wider choice of content.

But this doesn't mirror the Prime's screen, which is what I'd like to be able to do. AFAIK that isn't currently possible. Correct me if I'm wrong. We have an AppleTv in one of our conference rooms at work and I would like to link to it for presentations, etc.
Thanks for the responses. It seems that the solution I'm looking for does not exist. Shame... I will however install one of the airplay apps & see how that works out.

I do actually. Do you understand the question I asked, because your link doesn't answer my question...
If you have a 3rd Gen Apple TV then doubletwist doesn't work with Video. It works well with Audio. I had a case going on with doubletwist where they ended up refunding me the cost of the Airsync plug in as it wasn't working as it was supposed.
I think with 2nd Gen Apple TV you might be alright, but I haven't tried it.
I was trying out an app called 'iMediaShare' or something of the likes the other day. I was able to go through photos, videos, music (as long as it is stored on your device and not in gMusic), and youtube over an Apple TV. Looking through it, I do not see any way to go through PDFs or CAD designs though. For everything, your best bet as of now would be to use the mini HDMI and find separate apps for everything.
I have tried both AppleTV media player & iMedia player, but I cannot even see the Apple TV in the devices list. Its a third gen...

[Q] screen mirroring to a laptop using wifi direct or dlna?

hi folks
as the title says im after screen mirroring my s3 to my laptop it is equipped with dlna already or maybe wifi direct if its possible! according to what i read on the net it is possible to mirror s3's screen to a pc using dlna but i have no luck yet! when i scan with allshare app it does see my laptop i registered it with allshare play it sees it as an active online pc but refuses to stream music, pictures or video let alone screen mirroring!. do you think i should download a dlna server app? if so which is the best one? coz i have downloaded one called tvtrivia or something but it didnt help..
im from UK so i have the international version of s3 with original stock samsung rom on.
i have gone thru the forums but i didnt not come cross any thread about this apart from one that is about allshare cast which involves an extra hardware!
im very surprised though as i thought many people would be interested in screen mirroring!
what do you guys think about screen mirroring? anyone have made any research about this or even tried? what is your experience?
bump, also interested in this
yep - and me!
Airdroid can do basic screen mirroring but it runs at a low fps rate of ~1fps. MirrorOP is also the same I presume. I wish the was a solution for this using wifi, widi or even usb connection. That way I can easily play games with my phone as a remote or as a wheel substitute in teaching games lol.

I use MirrorOp and works well. The frame rate is high and videos work well through it. The sender app costs $9.99 (~£6.43) for unlimited use.

How to scan documents with a physical printer/scanner

I have an HP All in One printer. Not the Wifi kind. Just a simple USB printer/faxer/scanner.
I have been able to print from my android devices fine by using USB OTG with the HP print service plugin from the play store. Now I want to scan a document directly from my scanner into my phone. Ive done a ton of searching, but all I seem to find are these camera scanning apps, and I dont want to use those. Frankly the quality of a snap shot cannot compare to a physical feed scanner or flatbed scanner.
Ive tried using different office suites on my phone to see if they may have the feature, but I cant find anything.
Does Android even support this feature? When Im home, I like not having to turn on the family PC (running old Windows XP) where the printer is located just to scan something. Itd be nice to simply plug in the OTG cable and be done with it. Ill likely get an wifi printer soon, as HP now has scanning available for their wifi printer plugin...but I wont be upgrading just yet.
Thanks!
