What happened?

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

Can't you just pay with the phone bill option? since I have the N9 I never use my CC to pay for an app on Nokia Store, I've been paying just through the phone bill option, nothing to worry about

Apparently, my rant yesterday sped up fixing of Store Reports. :P

I'd like to personally thank everybody thay purchased Soundwave.
Thank you very much for your support. :)

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

No. Thank YOU, sir, for making it available to us.

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

£4 is nothing, compared to your hard work to this platform. This is the least we can do to show the appreciation. :)

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

The program works pretty well, but it consumes too much energy when in the background. I once forgot to shut down the app and overnight it completely drained my battery.

Sample Scenario:
Settings only change is automatically identify song on startup on (Not sure if related)

- Start Application
- Stop identifying song
- Click the history tab
- Swipe from left, right, down (not shutting down) (in the multitask menu you'll now see Soundwave with it's icon semi-transparent over the actual content)
- Lock the phone

- Check the Battery Usage app after a while and see your Avg Idle Consumption grow from ~8mA to ~48mA with Top Energy Consumers Soundwave

Hope you can fix this in a newer version, I love the application, but don't want to risk an empty battery when I forget to shutdown.

I've heard once that would be possible (to pay through my phone bill), but was not implemented in Brazil.* :( Only way I have to pay for an app is using credit card.

I tryed today again. Same result, i.e., no results...

* if was implemented, there is no option to choose it when I access Nokia Store. Is there any brazilian guy using that facility?:confused:

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

Even if the price was higher I would still pay it. Especially if it's properly packaged and supported by the author :D Hell, I think I'll give you a donation as well if you have a link.

Well, if you feel generous, I will not stop you. :D

Thanks!

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

For those complaining about the 5€... please remember N9 is a small platform. While you could make probably lots of money on iOS for 1€*for this kind of application, on Harmattan you probably can't even cover the time spent on the application selling it for 5€! The developers do it basically because for the love of the platform.

So consider it a donation. And if you feel strongly about the application, follow justadude's excellent example of donating more. People who bring needed software deserve the users support.

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

Donated. Please let me know you recieved. As for Ajalkane's response, it is spot on. If we want the community to survive and the developers to keep interest in Harmattan we need to support in any way we can. I wish I could contribute by developing for the N9/N900 but I am not skilled to do so. So I try to contribute to this excellent community in other ways.

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

Very nice app! But i can't watch video from Youtube via this app. What can be problem?

0.1.18 update available on Store.
Asian charset fix, plus some minor visual bugfixes.
Thanks everyone, download link is the same as in first post or update directly through Store on the phone. :)

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

Thank you! Just updated... Tested with search in Chinese... Seems still have problem...

you are chinese or hk?

Oh no, I forgot one more place to check for characters. Will be fixed. :)

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

Fix for russian, pls.

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

Update is here = 0.1.18 - got this message directly on my N9! :)

HSBC - Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. A major bank with its HQ in London but founded back when HK was a British colony. Was recently fined for money-laundering for drug-dealers :p

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

@knobtviker thanks for the app, but the logo from the screen you put over the app when its running in background doesn't fit exactly the app logo so it looks a bit blurred... think this is something you could fix easily ;) btw i don't even understand why to put another screen over the app while in background^^

Moritz already told me about that. Will fix it.
That overlay screen is more than just looks. It prevents UI changes. Frozen UI underneath it saves battery life.

If someone is interested, Symbian version is almost ready to release. :)

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

Could I anyhow pay this with PayPal?

I don't own a credit card (only Visa Electron) so it kinda sucks.. Can't buy this app :(

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

Quite wonderful application, but I ran across a user case not covered well over the weekend;

If the network connection is unreliable during the "send" phase, the application seems to freeze, unable to continue or stop the sample sending to server.

This is a bit awkward, as there seems to be no way to make it stop and send the same sample again when network is available. Also, even when I leave the application open in the sending phase it will never recover, even when I get back full connectivity.

I feel it would be nice to use this so that when you hear something that you want to search for but there is no network, you could save the sample for later retry. That could be implemented so that when sending fails, user is notified and sample is stored to disk waiting for resending. There should be possibility of continuing to capture new samples during network outage.

Such a thing is already implemented.
Called pending recognitions. At this point limited only to the last one.
Yes, you can abort sending phase if you wish by clicking the same orange glyph while it's sending. :)

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

Ah, I did not know that, I am using the version from Nokia Store, 0.1.18 I belive.

Yes, of course, but I rather thought I would have liked to get information on a song I just captured, and if I abort the sending then I thought I would lose the sample. :(

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

No, no, you don't lose the sample last recorded (but not sent). This works only in case of network connection errors. Not meant to be abused and work in full offline mode. :confused:

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

Okay, I will have to try that. So how do I activate it? Do I just stop the sending by clicking the icon, and leave the application to background until I get network coverage? What then, does it automatically try to resend later, or do I need to do something to start it?

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

It activates by itself, I didn't provide controls for users to do so.

Here's the situation:
- You hear a cool song.
- You start recording.
- Suddenly, your connection breaks (or you turn it off manually).
- Matching fails and sample goes into History page as Pending.
- Once you regain your connection online status, you can delete or redo the sample.

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

What about fix for video problem in 3G mode? You know after installation of Soundwave I have any video problem with facebook client. Anytime there is no problem in WI-FI mode. Waiting for 0.1.19

I'm working on a smarter picker for videos.
But I think that Soundwave has nothing to do with other video issues on your device. I only parse Youtube links, nothing else.
Maybe you got a mod that messed up video suite.

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

The Sounwave app and Facebook client using the same program to play videoIts named Videosheetplayer. May be Soundwave make some change in this program code?

Re: [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan
 

Thanks, Bojan.

The service suggests that if I tap the orange button it takes me to the landing page, i.e. home screen. Meanwhile, nothing happens. Is it a bug or an intended behaviour?
By the way, in Ukraine this app costs less than 4USD. I cannot help but to buy. Keep it up, Bojan!

No, I don't use Videosheetplayer directly or change any of its code. I parse links and pass them to the phone that decides what to run.

@ehnaton
Thanks!
That text is what server responded on not found. For official clients. I'll add a MouseArea and then text and image will fit together. ;)

That spinner keeps spinning all the time. I believe that server is not responding with a valid image path or image doesn't exist at all. I'd kindly suggest to check if the response is taking too long. In this case it will be great if the app could display some default image. It will look better without that eternal spinner.
