Hi guys! Fahrbot Mobile would like to invite you to participate in our open beta of Balanced, an app that uses USSD commands to obtain useful info like account balance, number of free USSD, minutes and traffic remaining.
It then silently parses the replies into beautiful minimalistic text widgets. We need beta testers on phones we dont have at the office, so please come and check out the thread here:

Is nobody using it with their Galaxy device?
Bump - many new features have been added!
Hi guys, any feedback on the latest version of the app? We are just about to release an update...
Thanks. Nice application. Works well on my galaxy s.. But the application allows selecting only numeric values. You could allow selecting text also. For e.g. the USSD code for checking my data limit returns me something like "You have got 1555 MB valid till June 30 2011". Currently, the app does not allow me to select "June". Would be nice if anthing from the message is selectable.
Hi, its a good idea, but how useful?
Does the traffic credit ever last more than a month?

Hi all mobile lovers,
i have developed an application to share your location information with your friends and employees. I know that there is Google latitude and others, but hopefully this products is different and focusses also on the bussiness side / implementation of these technologies.
Some features:
- Send TraQ Code to your contacts, so they can follow you 'live' for an hour online.
- Map View shows your friends live on the map including speed information,
when GPS is used. I mean really live and animating and all
- When TraQCode Contact is also destination, the route is calculated and drawn on map, including live destination distance and ETA !!
You can watch a demo video on http://www.vimeo.com/paltraq for how TraQPro works and looks like...
I need some beta testers who want to test the functionality of this product.
so where to ask then @ xda developers . Currently it only works with VGA/WVGA devices!
People who want to download and Beta test, please register at:
http://forum.traqpro.com
* Please post all bugs and feature request at forum.traqpro.com *
and i'll send you a private message with your account information.
Thank you and special thanx to those who want to participate to make it a better product.
Cheers,
MrQ.
Was looking for something like this! Allready started to develope my own! But yours is better
SO: Please send me the Beta Version, I allready registered in your forum!
How fast is the update rate for the GPS position? Can you let people decide for themselve how often it is updated? Because some people want to conserve battery, but on the other hand it is not as precise...
(Less battery consumption <-- vs. --> More precise position)
I think I can even help you to develope... or to translate (to Russian or German...)
Hi Koffein Schluck,
good to hear that you like it Check your private messages in the TraQ forum for your BETA account details.
The update rate is 1,5 seconds in the mapview, to get the live tracking experience of your friends or employees. When you are in the main menu the update rate is 15 seconds on MPS location updates and when GPS is on and fix it's 1,5 seconds
I already have the option for the user to determine the update rates on MPS, to spare you the battery power. Further more there is also a second application which runs on scheduled times to report your position to the servers and sleep again, pulling as almost nothing from your battery live !!
Must do some more testing with it to release it, but stay tuned.
Also de website wil be in Silverlight technology to view your Trips and some other info.
Busy as hell, more to be released soon..
Stay tuned
Btw, check out the TraQCode feature, it's really coOl. Select a contact and send him a code with email or sms or both so he can track you live online.
Next,
If you say the person whom you are sending your traQcode is also your destination, you see the complete route on the mapview including destination distance and ETA information!!
Also check out the resource folder after installation if you want to customize the graphics.
The languages folder contains text files with all languages available. If you translate the english
one to german and to russian we have to more languages available in the app!!
Btw, please post your findings on TraQPro forum..

Still interested!
Hello everyone! I am the developer of Prepay Widget, a powerful app that allows you to monitor your account balance through USSD requests.
You can find more info about USSD on Wikipedia, but basically these are short, SMS-like messages used by most GSM and some CDMA providers to deliver information
or control account services. The actual information comes to you in the form of popup toasts, which thids app hides and parses into widgets.
You can find the apps landing page on XDA at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12348102
However, i want to stress that its important that we get some device-specific feedback, so please post in this thread if you have issues,
this helps me keep track of bugs and requests better.
You can use the Lite version of the app - it has all the functionality of the full version apart from automatic updates (not really that important imo).
As I haven't got one of these phones in my pocket, I need some testers to track down problems. Please, use this thread to comment or
suggest features. It is my belief that addressing issues is best done individually by phone, so if something doesn't work, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.

beautiful app idea. how does this work ?
It uses free USSD request. Numbers like *100#...
hmnn.. it seems that it wont be able to update on Optus Australia. As you need to send sms to 9999 for usage details ! do you have anything similar to implemented in this or just the USSD commands ?
This is a great idea, i could have used something like this when i was on pay as you go. Nice work!
Ok the widget appearing is blank ? Is this normal i am using it with a USSD command on another phone with which the network supports.
Which phone? This is just the kind of issue i want to fix!
European SGS2 Stock XWKF3 rooted, blank too. (tested on free version)
Are you sure you got a ussd reply?
Yes I'm sure, I received the reply, made 2 indicators and I'm viewing the differences (green/red) between two calls.
Please send a log using Write to developer in Settings. Don't forget to add a description as the logs can be deceptively empty.
is it internationally?
You just need to know the codes for your operator ...
I have updated the app - please let me know if this fixes your issues!
Fixed all issues for me. Got the full version... great app!
Works great now, thanks, buying the full too.
Great! If you have suggestions, do let me know.
Hi guys. Im back to bother you about stability

Any issues to report?
As I'm on PAYG and you dont seem to be getting much responses I'll D/L it and give it a go for you and let you know in a few days.
Most people on pay as you go are cheapskates, they just steal the app or use the free version. At $1.28, its a steal.
Any issues with yesterday's update?
Hi,
My name is Ricardo, I discovered the xda forums only recently so forgive me for being new here. I'm an independent developer, author of AlarmPad (id=com.mindmeapp.alarmpad on the Google Play Store - I can't post links here yet), an alarm clock app that lets you set alarms in context with your calendar events and the weather forecast. The app has now an alpha version that supports extensions and I would like to ask your help to consider creating one.
You can get this alpha version from the Play Store by joining its Google+ community at plus.google.com/communities/113108980221311144145. The extensions are meant to display information to the user when the alarm rings. A simple working example that displays random quotes is also available on the Play Store. It is open source so you can see how it works in detail here: github.com/riclage/quotes_extension. The API itself is also open source.
Interested? Here is what I offer:
- Support if you have any questions, run into any problems or need any kind of help
- Support to help you monetize your extensions (some ideas below)
- Support your extensions as much as possible on all the apps I release or update in the future
- Improvements to the app based on your feedback to give maximum visibility to extensions
- Active promotion of the first extensions developed inside the app, on the app description on the Play Store, on its official web page and when contacting the media
If you are interested in monetizing your extension, here are some ideas:
- Build an extension pack where only one or two of those in the pack work on the free version
- Make the extension work with limited options on the free version
- Make the extension work only on certain days of the week (e.g., does not work on Wednesdays) or that works only after midday (most users use their alarms in the morning) on the free version. When it doesn't work, you can show a message with a link to the Play Store to buy the pro version
- Have a trial period
If you have any other ideas and you think I can help accommodate it on AlarmPad, please send me a private message or post it below.
Thank you for your time,
Ricardo
