Posted: Tue Jun 10, 2014 9:06 pm Post subject: Moblie Camera Alert Tick Cross |
|
|
Hi,
Forgive the basic question but cannot find an answer in the manual etc.
When going past an existing mobile site you get the Tick and Cross icons.
I would assume they are for one to confirm if the mobile is there or not , yes ?
However when pressing either I get taken to the another detailed menu, looking more like one for logging a new mobile, which when driving is something too distracting to go into, so ignore/cancel.
Is this supposed to happen ?
thanks |

Yes and you can't switch it off. Annoying isn't it? Especially the bloody sound alert that goes with it |

It is possible to mute that annoying noise, but not stop it. By that I mean that instead of the annoying noise interrupting your audio output, you get silence interrupting your audio output! Hopefully there'll be a future option to remove it. _________________ Jock

Can anyone answer this part of richard101 question as I get the same thing and agree it is very distracting.

I don't play any other audio so it won't matter to me.

You can't switch either the noise or the popup off. Just ignore it. It goes away after a few annoying seconds.
It's just really annoying that you get two alerts telling you that a mobile camera isn't there (most of the time) the normal alert, then the popup alert. Driving where there are mobile sites on nearly every overbridge is a nightmare. |

Especially because it seems to not be directional, so I get Ding Tick Cross for mobiles on the opposite side, and two bluddy Ding Tick Crosses for bi-directional ones. _________________ Dennis

Yes, I actually think I can claim to have been the first to congratulate "them" on it. _________________ Dennis

Tapping the tick/cross should be a one-hit thing - i.e. you tap whether it is active or not and then the option goes away. If you're being taken to another screen then you're either missing the tick/cross icons and tapping the alert bar itself or there's a bug in the app.
Can you let us know what hardware and firmware you're using?

AND the Tick Cross removes any indication on the map of where the camera is located.
(On the iOS version, anyway and it's not at the bottom either. Not that I care where it is, I just want to turn the entire thing OFF! ) _________________ Dennis

We're in the CamerAlert for Android forum.
And the OP was not asking how to turn noises off, he was reporting something not working correctly.
