Hi Deciphered,
thirst let me thank you for this module :) As soon as I got my android I looked for modules for my drupal site.
I've a little (I hope) problem with creating tags containing a phone number. I've tried it using presets and directly.
I've created a preset for URL, text and phone tags. URL and text are working fine, but tags which contain a number are recognized as text by the app (ixMAT Scanner) on my android phone.
This is what I tried:
created a profile Phone, with qr as code type, phone as data type and middle as size and tried the following code (input filter is enabled):
[mobilecodes profile="Phone"]123456789[/mobilecode]
and directly with:
[mobilecodes type="phone" data="qr"]0173123654[/mobilecode]
my android is able to read codes generated via http://mobile-tagging.blogspot.com/2007/11/generator.html so I don't think that the reader app causes the problem
Maybe there is something wrong with Nokia?

Hi magenbrot,
Sorry for the delayed response but I haven't had the software on my phone to test with.
I ran a test with a phone number and had no issues.
I did notice that the second code you supplied above was incorrect, with type and data mixed up, but I'm assuming that is unrelated to the issue.
It's quite possible that there is a difference in the software or that there's a conflict with standards, but as I only have Nokia devices it does make it difficult to test this particular issue.
I did test the other generator that you supplied and there definitely was a difference in the data. The software that I used to read the code showed the data as:
tel:123456789
Whereas the nokia generator code showed up as:
123456789
You could try appending the 'tel:' to your data and see if that fixes your issue.
I will probably look into the ability to choose been generators in the future, but as this is a fairly low priority module for me it could be a while.
Cheers,
Deciphered.
