We developed an augmented reality ghost-hunting fitness game: SpecTrek (out in the shop right now, we are working on a 'light' version). We finished comfortably about two weeks ago, but about 16 hours before the deadline a friend of ours called. He bought the new Samsung Galaxy (just out over here), and our app didn't work correctly on it! It turned out the current compass firmware is broken on the Galaxy. Other applications (like Google's sky map) didn't work either.
Some searching on the internet revealed that the folks from Wikitude have developed a fix so we knew it could be done. We had to drive about 100 km and back to collect the galaxy from our friend so we could use it to determine what the fix could be. About 2 a.m. local time (+- 9 hours before the deadline) we finished implementing the fix, but major performance problems remained on the Galaxy. We then took a couple of hours of sleep, and started working on the performance problems again. 60 minutes before the deadline we had a version that worked fine on the Galaxy. After 30 minutes of frantic testing (both on the Galaxy and on the other two phones we have access to, the G1 and the Hero), we found no problems and resubmitted our app. Whether it was a wise decision or not to resubmit, only time can tell.... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
