N73 Barcode Scanner Problem

Hi there

I just got a new Nokia N73 and was attempting to install the Barcode Scanner thats located in the Downloads! folder. When the installation is nearly complete I get the message: 'Unable to install - component is built in' anyone had a similar problem? How did you get it sorted? If it is in fact installed where is it hiding?

Cheers

This reads the barcodes found on things we buy. The barcode contain information about its mfg. * expiry dates. phone nos., web link etc.

Now looking to the problem Bar code rader must be pre-installed. Therefore there was no need to re-intsall. Just navigate to menu
(Try under my own ) and see if you find bar code reader

Hi there - there is no sign of the program anywhere on the phone - I even went to try to uninstall it and it doesnt come up on the list of installed components.

I given the fact you are unable to see barcode reader in your phone its strongly possoble that module is currupted. Try with Nokia care. Maybe reflashing can help

Re: N73 Barcode Scanner Problem

Install the last firmware with NSU tool from Support pages. If the phone is a network locked version, could not have new firmware or even don´t have the bar code reader application. The application it self, works well with 2D codes and very bad with linear codes.

Viper.
Feel lucky if NSU works for N-73. Else you have to live with Nokia Care. Try getting friendly as flashing takes 20 minutes flat. Another 10 minutes for QC check. You should be out of Nokia care in 30 minutes

I have had no luck with the NSU either - it says there is no update available and the postal service want my phone for a fortnight to do the firmware update - what a joke!!

Same here. I've just got my N73 (not locked/not cobranded) and updated it with NSU.
The version is 3.0638.0.0.1.

I've tried by the Catalogs app on my phone and via the SIS file on the Nokia website with no results.

It's apparently a common problem, see this thread.

I can dowanload Barcode Reader (Menu/Download, you may need to select Options/Refresh list) but can't install it because it says: the component is built in.

Why not just use QuickMark (http://www.quickmark.com.tw/English/download.asp#Nokia) instead?
