weird little bugs

first this is a great app and seem like it could be very useful
using a storm 9530 os 5.0.0.419 platform 4.2.0.179 verizon
the bugs ive noticed:
-whenever I'm in the app and on the main screen placing my finger on the edge of the screen selects an item on the opposite edge. clicking on the edge will open the mis-selected item.
-when using "just take a picture" inside the app it takes then white and other colored lines appear on the top of the screen and black on the bottom and edges of the screen. the top appears to be changed by the picture. hovering over the buttons brings the normal graphics back

will post anything else i find later

Took note of the click issue.

For the camera thing, is that happening on 0.1.4 as well?

Honestly a good portion of that clicking issue is due more to the phone design and OS then I would say the application. I had that phone and I was seeing the same issues you mentioned while in basic BB apps like SMS texting. There is a big boost in performance when jumping to the 5.0 OS and the little quirky things that made you want to turn the phone into a paper weight dissipate greatly with the OS update.

On my 9550 with V1.2, I had the same thing with the camera, it would only show around a quarter of an inch of the picture, then green lines, then black. Photo did show up in the media file. It happened the four times I tried it. I just loaded V1.5, and now I don't get anything, but an error message"Error taking picture:net.rim.device.api.system.ControlledAccessException" them Alert " When taking a picture getSnapshot returned null"

Ah, that's a permissions issue. Looks like the OS cut off VT's access to the media card. Can you check the permissions on it?

( was Guest earlier) On my 9550 (.320) running V 1.5, I did a battery pull and permissions came back, but when the picture was taken it was the same with the green lines on top and black below. Also noted that very first image in the media file taken from Take a Picture, uses the same thumbnail for the first pic taken. After that the image is the same as the photo. Loaded V 1.6 today and after a battery pull the picture still does the same thing, though the thumbnail view is now correct. Taking a picture from the VT home page button "Just Take The Picture", I still get the green and black, the image flashes in the small preview window in the center and then shows the VT Home page inside that. Page stays that way till either you back out or end ( 1/4 inch pic, green bars, black rest of the way, and the viewer showing the Home in center). Also noted that the flash does not come on at all in any of the shots I tried, making it good for day use only.

i updated to 0.1.6 and it still does the same thing with the pictures on storm 1

with 0.1.6 the really convenient keys have stopped working. i have all permissions set to allow but nothing happens with any keys set up in the app. phone and quicklaunch set convenience keys are working properly.

Yeah, I thought I fixed them, but I ended up breaking them further. The devices seem to be acting much different than the simulator. Still investigating, let me know if you see any others.

Not long after I posted the above, I lost all camera functon in the app. If I try to use the home button to click, it flashes white, can't quite read the screen, somethuing 30 seconds or like that. Them get the alert "When taking a picture getSnapshot returned null" also. This was after a battery pull.

Ok, try 0.1.7. It should be saner, though I'm not 100% sure. (I'm trying to get my hands on a CDMA device so I can stress test it).

Really convenient keys are still not working with 0.1.7 none of the double presses are working and when the key is set to open an app then no matter what it is set to open it reverts back to the first app in the list which is currently address book for me.

Home screen bookmarks are appearing but when clicked do not open. the bookmark that is supposed to take a quick picture gives a popup "When taking a picture getSnapshot returned null"

just take the picture function from the app returns the same message

all permissions are set to allow

hope im helping to make this app better and if there is any other information that needs to be provided about bugs or system i am using please inform me

Hmm, so when you set a key to say, "Run App Brickbreaker", or whatever, and you assign it to a key that works, it'll still just launch the address book?

Ok, so you're seeing the same issue as dx169. Wanna grab the test version at http://ota.versatilemonkey.com/vttest/ and move over to that thread we're talking in now?
