I see that this is now available, but the app doesn't show up correctly on my phone. What I don't get is that it says its available for the Storm 2 9530?

[wotenk]

I got it to work fine in landscape mode, it just cuts off in portrait mode now.

For those clueless to what Viper is

Viper SmartStart

Anyone else with a 9530 try this app on their phone yet?

I did disable and that allows to show up fine in landscape mode, its all screwy in portrait mode. I don't understand why it is says Storm 2 9530??

Landscape looks fine but portrait is screwed on my 9530. It looks like all it does is turn sideways but doesn't adjust the screen. I need this to work as I already have the alarm and I am going to add the SmartStart module soon.

I downloaded and have the Viper alarm. I paid 400 for the alarm and I'm not going to pay another 200-300 for the module. That's just crazy man. I've already paid enough for the alarm. It does look cool on the phone tho.

Does it show up in portrait mode correctly on your Storm 2?

Nope, I just went ahead and deleted it. I'm sure there will be a fix for it soon tho.

It would be great if they went ahead and fixed this issue. I would go out and buy it.

[wotenk]

Sweet, looks like this issue has been fixed.
