maemo.org - Talk - [Announce] Soundwave - SoundHound client for Harmattan

knobtviker, I just couldn't buy SoundWave at Brazil's Nokia Store - according to that sh*** store, my credit cards are not valid. Will try later today or tomorrow. I've used SoundHound over Symbian and liked very much. My N9 is missing something like that.

I have a phoblet (Samsung Note 2) that was bought only for book-reading purposes, while continue to use N9 as cellphone. But have to admit: Google Play is a thousand times better than Nokia Store. Once you inform your credit card when first accessing Nokia Play, you'll never more be asked for a card again. At Nokia Store, every time you buy some app, have to inform a new card number, because that informed before turns to "invalid". Every time!

I really don't need SoundWave in my N9, but love (for my N9) speaks louder and I really WANT it!

Hope can soon to buy SoundWave.

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

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

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:

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.

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.
