Posted: Tue Feb 14, 2012 3:05 pm Post subject: Sound / camera submission issues. |
|
|
Hi all.
I'm a recent new subscriber to the PGPSW camera database, I've got the Cameralert app and latest database installed on my shiney new iphone 4S and all was runing fine for a few days.
I've already submitted 3 camera submissions via the nifty little utility within the cameralert app, these were cameras in my locality (All mobile) that were not in the database and were submitted no problem.
My first question is how do you make a submission for a camera that has been removed, I cannot see anything within the cameralert app that allows this.
My second question is with regard to the sound / warnings, although the sound alerts were working fine for the first few days, I now find that although the visual warning is still working fine, there is no spoken warning.
I've checked that the sound setting within the cameralert app is set to on and the phone is not in silent mode, all the other sounds on the phone (Incoming call / text message, etc) work fine so I suspect that whatever the problem is, it is not being caused by the phone.
Any help / advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you and regards, Soulman. |

Tap on the camera in question (either on the map icon or the list item) and choose 'Request removal'.

Can you check you've not turned down the volume for the app itself? In the settings go to the 'Sound warnings' page then tap on the 'female sound' for Warning sound. That SHOULD play the sample. If you do not hear it then tap it again and then, straight away, press the volume up button on the phone and see if that turns up the app volume?
This ONLY happens if the main iPhone settings (Settings / Sounds) "Change with Buttons" is turned ON. When it's 'on' the volume buttons only affect the volume of the currently playing sound(s) so if no sound is playing in the app then the volume buttons wil just affect the ringer volume.
Hope this makes sense?

Hi MaFt.
Thanks for the explanation of how to submit a camera for removal.
With regard to the sound issue, I've done the "Tap the female sound" thing and it does indeed play the voice back to me.
The next time I go out in the car I'll run Cameralert and see if it is back to working normally or if it is still refusing to play the sound warning when approaching a camera.
I'll post back and let you know.
Thank you and regards, Soulman. |

Is it plugged into the car audio in any way? _________________ Darren Griffin |

No Darren, not connected to the car audio in any way.
As posted above, the next time I go out in the car I'll run Cameralert and see if it is working normally or is still not giving the audible warnings.
Thank you and regards, Soulman. |

Another thing to check, again in the Sound settings sub-menu, scroll down and make sure the diffrent camera types are selected. Perhaps you knocked one of them off?

Update.
Have been out in the car today ran Cameralert and all is working perfectly.
I've no idea what the problem was with the audible warnings as they were definately working, then suddenly stopped.
They were definately set to "On" yet were not being triggered on the approach to a camera.
All I've done is gone to the settings and tapped the female voice (To which it was already set) to see if it played the warning, (It did) gone out in the car and run Cameralert again and the audible alert is back on.
Must have been some unexplained clitch, anyway, alls well that ends well,
thanks for the help advice guys,
regards, Soulman. |
