The clicking sound is most likely the phones zoom/focusing, if you look at your camera when you're running the app see if its moving slowly to other direction and then pops back where it started from, it happens to me on all of the barcode readers which is really annoying.

I have the same problem with mine, I installed all of the various barcode scanners on the market and everyone of them gave me the same problem. To me it looks as though the auto focus/zoom is looping itself. My housemate has the desire and the app works fine there

OK, this is not a problem with the phone nor the application!
It's the autofocus function that constantly works while the app is running in order to locate and "translate" a QR code. And I am pretty sure that this happens with EVERY phone that has auto-focus and runs these kind of applications. Maybe the autofocus in the Xperia is a little more noisy, but come on, the app does work fine. Jeez!

Actually I tested the app alongside my housemates and on the desire it scans the app and finds the product and mine hasnt even scanned it. I wait for about a min and my phone still hasnt scanned the barcode. As I said it isnt the app that is at fault as I am using the exact same download as my housemate. Also please remember that I have used most of the apds on the market and they all do the same thing.

Mate ......thats quite a statement saying you did use all the apps on the market lol.

Just distance the camera a little ,mine to the focus noise to and take the code under 5 sec.

Thats the thing I downloaded and installed close to 10 different barcode scanner apps which is most of what i saw when i searched for it. I agree that I might have missed some. My problem is that I tried to scan using all of the various different apps downloading and installing then uninstalling when it didnt work. i tried different angles distances and still after close to 2 min waiting for them to scan nothing happened. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I use my buddies Desire and it picks up withing 5 secs as yours does at various distances as well. All I want to know is if I am doing something wrong or is there maybe something wrong with the phone(which I doubt as it is awesome in every way, getting better almost 3days battery )
