I bought a huawei ascend. I am clueless. Still trying to find out how to answer the thing :)

I am curious those black square things like on app pages and I have seen on a few magazine ads how do you use them???

Thanks for any help.....also my new phone keeps shutting itself off ... after a couple of minutes I have to unlock and get back to where I was....any help ???
 
You guys are able to scan barcodes with your Ascends? Every single barcode scanner I've tried doesn't work (I assumed it was because the camera on these phones is poopoo). The only scanner app that *did* work for me was ShopSavvy, but that app was updated and now it doesn't work either. My husband, who has a Kyocera Zio, has no problem scanning things with any barcode scanner app he tries and I really think he likes rubbing that fact in my face, lol.

What scanner apps have you guys found work with the Ascend? I might have missed them and definitely want to try them out.

ShopSavvy still works for me.

You're lucky. After it was updated to give us the option of showing a picture of the item we're scanning, I tried to scan many barcodes and only one scanned successfully. I tried scanning barcodes after configuring the options to many different settings but it was no use, so I just uninstalled it. The only positive thing that came from it was uninstalling it freed up about 5MB of phone storage space, lol.
