[Open beta] Balanced - Silent balance checker and widget

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006487

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?

[App] Prepay Widget needs some testers!

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.

Debugging:
Please use the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu to send logs. Enable debugging, reproduce your error and then send the logs.
Make sure you include a description - the more detailed the description the better.

Sent from my Glitch powered super mother******

Great! Please, report back in this thread.

By far the best app of its kind! Love it!

Certainly its way better than the competition!

App is now in Top New Paid on the market

Working perfectly atm - one of my favorites for sure!

Come on guys - i would have thought people would be willing to test a totally free and awesome widget!

Still nothing?

How is it working?

1.1.3
- New USSD intercept mechanism (beta)
- Update status animations added
- Log graphivs changed
- Rare device specific errors fixed
- Some update bugs fixed
Lets get some feedback please!

Any issues to report?

So, has anyone had a chance to do some testing?

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. Contactive. We have cake.

Hi,
We make Contactive(it's an app)(just to make sure we're on the same page here). It's guaranteed to (insert sips ref here) rustle your jimmies.
We've received some great feedback lately and we're hungry like a wolf for moar. That's where you come in:fingers-crossed:. Fill our suggestion box full of stuff. Types of feedback that we like to munch on:
- all positive comments
- A bunch of five stars pls
- words that want to make us cry
- And I'm legally binded to ask for some constructive criticism. Not too much though. Our dev's get angry pretty easily(please do not tweet to contactive that i said that).
Also too our lead dev is single(lololololol) he like's to go on very brief walks on the beach, he gets tired very easily, and his fave movie is the about the ring.
I guess I should say something about the app now. Um, well it makes your phone ring, or vibrate, when you get a call. It tells you if a celebrity is calling you like Dr. Dre or if its your mailman, or if its just your mum.
But wait there's more:highfive:, if your mom's on twitter, and let's face it there's like a 99% chance she is, it will show you her latest tweet before you pick up her call... you'll be prepared. Also too it'll import all of your friends from Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin(if you have a job), and Gmail to your phone's address book. It identifies unknown callers too by crawling over the inter-webs for all public information connected to that number(ie. location, name,a picture if available, and some other stuff I cant remember.

The app looks pretty nice ... :good: ... And the WebSIte Design ... AWESOME !! (may i ask who made the website ?) .... Keep up ... !! :good:

Looks awesome. can we get a dark theme?

this apps sounds good, gonna give a try. thread subscribe. thks to dev team :good:

I'm not trying to discredit your app but what does it bring that the others don't have ? I tried it works exactly like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.callapp.contacts that is my main contacts app

Giving it a try; seems like a useful application, but I am a little concerned about the massive consolidation of personal information. The privacy policy is a good read!

Can you add a feature to remove duplicate numbers in phone contacts
This is good:good:, but feel they have two or more contacts,
numbers on the phone does not directly connect to facebook

I have a lot of duplicate numbers in the phone
eg for my number, there are 4 same name in the phonebook,
and it automatically removes it,
and hope this app can change the google phonebook, not only the number on the application

We've had a few requests for theme customization. right now, we're busy with bug fixes and core features, but we're hoping to get to a place where we can work on themes. We know the blue is super bright, and some people like it, some people don't.

Yeah. CallApp is our main competitor - and right now we do pretty much the same thing. But we're tryna eventually leapfrog them.

Not sure what's happening there but Contactive SHOULD be taking care of your duplicate numbers. There's also an option to manually merge/link profiles when you go into an individual profile and hit settings. Could you shoot us an email at [email protected]?
PS. Thank you to @TheRomMistress for the article!

I'm trying to wrap my brain around how your app works and where the line in privacy is.
Without actually installing your app, my theory is...
* Your app takes a snapshot of my address book and pushes that to a 3rd party service
* This service builds up a database of numbers, names, and useful information to find people on social networking sites
* Some of this information is pushed back down to the user for their particular contact
* Once a call comes in, if the user already exists the app should know which accounts on what social networks the pole for the callers most recent postings
* If the caller doesn't exist in the address book, a quick ping off to the 3rd party service is made to request any known information on this new caller's phone number, and that's pushed back down to the user and relevant content is shown
Is all that approximately correct or do I have it all backwards? Thanks!

I'm really liking the layout of this app. Good work! Could you guys incorporate a way to turn of the dialer sound?

Iam totally agree with RUBIN110..Big concern is privacy .I'm not trying to discredit your app but App from Newyork ..,,,Whats About NSA?..Whats about U.S. and British government mass surveillance programs?

I really like the look of the app and I want to use it, but I'm concerned about the privacy aspects.
Do you collect the data and use or store it outside of this app?

As the lowly intern, this is my understanding of how it works - from both asking a bunch of questions and sitting next to the dev guys everyday listening to what they talk about:
You got it mostly correct.
1. yes. The app saves your address book in Contactive's database and stores links (not info) to matching social network profiles. This info is NOT shared with 3rd party services.
2. yes. The service builds up a database of the following: name, number, social network IDs
3. yes. The info you see for a particular contact all depends on what info you can see if you were to visit that user's Facebook page. For example, if you are friends with Alex, all of the info you can normally see on Alex's Facebook will show up within Contactive. If you are NOT friends with Alex, only the info Alex has made public will be seen within Contactive.
4. yes - IF 1. you are friends with them already on the social networks you connect to Contactive, and/or 2. Contactive's database has connected that number to a specific social network account.
5. yes. If the caller doesnt exist in your address book, requests are sent to Contactive's database and third parties such as yelp, facebook, etc - all the different sources we use.

We're pretty sure if the NSA wanted any of the info we have, they can get it off of Facebook. LOL

Nope. We don't use or store it for anything other than to bolster our caller ID feature. We won't sell any of our information either.

Are you able to add an option to silence the key press tone?

[Q] Question on [ROM][Cool Sense][5 April]Cool Droid v3|2.3.4|FASTEST|Data++/Stock

First of all I want to thank everybody whos making efforts so that our beloved Desire survive through out these years!!
I am a Desire owner for more than three years and I could say that I have tried nearly anything on my device.
Currently I am using this Rom with the exactly configuration written by the user.
As the user Tonyp has written in the post, that exact setup is working really good and without any major issues. I have only 3 spots that i would like to point out:
1st When I am call directly from the address book a contact that is stored without the national prefix (+30 Greece) the phone adds automatically the prefix +1 (maybe US I don't really know), so this make the call goes wrong.
2nd From Optimo Settings (included in the Rom) I don't have the choise to dissapear the battery icon and leavy only the numbers.
3rd As it already pointed out, in the Rosie Options, the right button choise for the shortcut isn't working if you select anything else bit the internet browser.
I would really like to hear your thoughts about the things that i've pointed out before, and again to thank everyone that is contributing to the development of our device!!

As an addition to the previous post I have found out that some appz that they use the google account to log in such as youtube and quicktime, they sign in feature doesn't work, although I have install the latest google play services and the syncing of the google account works fine.
Thanks in advance and please if some wants to copy my 2 posts to the development thread, be my guest!!!

[Discussion] Statistics add-on for WhatsApp

As a java developer and Android enthusiast, I've always wanted to program something for Android. Could never think of anything but I've had a idea as of late and I wanted to hear ideas and feedback and of course interest...
Basically this will be a add-on Xposed module for WhatsApp that will add a statistics menu. Now, some of you might be thinking there already is one. No, this would be per contact based how many messages have you sent, received, etc.
This is pretty easy to obtain and calculate from the WhatsApp database.
But I'd like to add my own stats. Two examples off the top of my head that are currently not in the current statistics menu are how many times have you blocked/unblocked a person (very easy) to how many times have you opened/closed a contacts conversation window (more difficult).
I'd like feedback on people that would be interested in this as users and if anyone wants to help, thank you; I've programmed in Java processionally but have done 2-3 apps in Android and don't hace much experience (more so with the GUI)

That's a nice idea. I would love to have an xposed module showing the stats. Well do try.

1. How many messages sent and received in a group chat -Time duration (24 hours, 1 month, 1 year)
2.stats of private chat (same duration)
That should do for a first build. any help u need like testing or logs, I can help you.

Keep it on!! But I m on N now, and no xposed for N yet
Sent from my cancro using XDA Labs

There is already an App called Whatstat. It doesn't work very good and i'm not sure how accurate the infos are. But the stats displayed there are the most interesting and would be nice in your Add-on. Also it would be nice if the stats are not just per number but per contact (if they changed their number and/or you created a new contact for the same person). Good luck and please keep going. I would love to have this add-on.

Still waiting for this..

Would be great to be able to collect data from the entire contactlist.

And.... Could you do something like collecting media data per contact (images & video clips & audio & voice notes) ?
I would like to delete some media files "per contact" since there are mess of files when i am trying to backup my data.

Any news about your Moudule?
Would be great if it will be released soon, I like the idea

Let it be clear for the record:
This project is NOT dead
I am drawing up sketches on how I would like to design it and integrate it smoothly into WhatsApp and such. Those are in alpha form although there are a couple of members that have seen it and feedback is pretty good.
I still do need development help; Right now I am relying on viewing code from other WhatsApp projects and playing around with that...Not getting much help so its stalled, but not dead.

If I cannot read WhatsApp's database file, I would need to read all the conversations and fill it into a separate customized database. This would take me a bit more time and also performance would not be ideal.

There is a module which let you see the sended and received messages per contact.
Try out whatsapp extensions http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.suraj.waext

@riahc3
How is the development going?
