I just tried this out on my Centro, with Sprint, and the 1.3MP camera is not good enough. I took pictures close up, mid-range and far and each time Scan Life could not decode the image. It is diffinately the camera though; I can't focus it and the picture at any range are blurred. The software does say the image must be in focus to work properly.

From what I understand, ScanLife can only read EZ codes at this point. If you try to scan QR or Data Matrix it will state that it could not decode it. That would then be an app issue and not a lens issue.

ScanLife can read Datamatrix and QR, but in the US it only resolves EZcode and Datamatrix codes created from the ScanLife platform. You can create free codes at www.scanlife.com.
