Bruce emailed me earlier today and explained how he got ShopSavvy to work on the Samsung Behold 2.  Here is his explanation:

“Just thought I’d let you know that I now have ShopSavvy working well on my Behold 2. The inelegant solution was to place a small piece of electrical tape over the flash. I don’t take many photos, particularly ones requiring a flash, so it’s not a problem for me. If I need a flash I can always peel it off. With the flash covered up the auto focus works fine. One improvement would be a way to automatically use the macro mode on the camera to better focus on smaller barcodes.  I’m still looking forward to a solution from Samsung for the flash issue but this lets me use the app, as well as other scanners, in the meantime.”

Here is a picture of the fix:

Thanks Bruce! We are still hoping to get something from Samsung in the way of a OTA firmware fix.
