Marketplace

I don't get it.
If I use the Android XDA app, the Marketplace is visible in General. Using a real browser however, it's not. A quick search for a link into the Marketplace rears a permissions error. And all of this without being registered. So what gives? Something I'm missing here?

Oh, so it's now visible. After glancing through the rules/disclaimer it appears it'll become accessible after 8 posts for a noobjuice member. Clever.

You need more posts and/or a longer membership (I can't recall the details).
Guess the Tapatalk app needs fixing .

It's not the app...we've changed the permission on the Marketplace to not allow access to a user until he/she has made 8 posts. That 8 post level is also the same point at which you can post links. It's just an anti-spam measure. We found people were registering at XDA just to spam the site or the Marketplace. This helps.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

This is good to know. Long time lurker and finally signed up so I could post in the marketplace but alas!

Can someone link to the rules for gaining access to the Marketplace? I have 8 posts but still cannot see it. Tried logging out and back in but still nothing

For a while there I thought I needed to check my eye sight. Makes sense now.

Hard to achieve 8 post if you have nothing to say or to discuss or if everything is so well explained that you do not need answers
Maybe you could add a waiting time also. Lets say after 4 weeks you get to see the market, I highly doubt anyone would wait 4 weeks just to spam something.

It doesn't make sense that you can view the Marketplace before you sign up (and then have it dissapear after you are a member).

oh!! so thats why i couldnt c the marketplace

I am new here. it seem that this is an useful forum.

welcome to forums
Once you become an active/regula user all XDA features will be unlocked and you will be able to post in marketplace, this rule is to protect us from spammers/scammers

Ah I was wondering why I wasn't able to see that deal I saw anymore... guess I'm off to ask more questions.

I have been on the site reading for 6 months now trying not to poste but now i need to use the market so here is my 8th poste thanks.

Lol. Non-members can't see the marketplace anymore.
Trust me to say too much

As I said before:

Meantime post and you´ll finally get access

Nice
Really smart security measure! I like it.

Workout software for windows mobile?

Hi there,
I had a discussion with my brother on his new iphone and he showed me a software to keep track of his sit up, push up, .... and what ever sessions. It would use the gsensor to count and also check the angle of the situps and correct if necessary.
Now it annoyed me I don't have anything like that on my HD2. Is there anything similar somewhere?
Thanks
Michael

What is the name of that specific app with the gsensor count?
I wish there were some decent work out loggers for us winmo gym guys.

had seen this already, however if I understand it correctly this is just a tracker where I can enter manually. I would like an app where I can "wear" my mobile and the app tracks push ups and situps automatically.

that app would great... i honestly envy iphone users for this kind of practical apps. on the other hand, there is a nice app (not exactly what you want) that you might to take a look at: MyPersonalDiet from VidaOne. Hope it helps.

Official Engadget App

about an hour ago i was skimming through the new apps in the marketplace and came upon an engadget app (not engadget reader). I went ahead and downloaded it. Right off the bat i could tell this was the official engadget app. Great metro ui integration, very smooth interface and offered podcast and videos integrated into the app. I was a little suspicious of the app and whether or not it was the official one, but it had an about page with all the copyright info from engadget. Right before typing this I searched once more for this app and it seems that it has been pulled from the marketplace as well as the engadget reader.
Did anyone else download this app before it was pulled?

It's unfortunate that it got pulled down before I could get it. I have the Engadget reader and it's lacking. I want an official Engadget app ASAP!
Good to hear about it being smooth with metro UI integration though.

I managed to get it before it disappeared.
Wonder what got it yanked?

What is it like, screenshots?
Microsoft seems to be really strict about their guidelines. They have guidelines for everything from User Interface to how long u have for the app to load/resume to distributing it on the marketplace, lol.

I believe this link should do, but it's not there for download:
http://redirect.zune.net/External/L...oneAppID=e32911a0-472d-e011-854c-00237de2db9e
Link may not work in browsers other than IE. It didn't work in my version of Opera.

I got it. Settings button restarts it, might be why they pulled it so it's fixed. Give it a go and see if it's the same for you.

Ok it wasn't an offical Engadget app or they would have had an artical on it. much like all the BBC apps none are offical BBC apps. the apps that Engadget has for IOS and Android are offical. from what I was told they will be having one soon but it wasn't that app.

Yeah, it is official, but it is buggy.
App restarts whenever you hit the Settings button.

I deleted to the unofficial Engadget app for the official Engadget app.
It seems the unofficial app was pulled down too

The screenshots make it look sort of ugly compared to the Android and iOS versions of the app. For anyone who has it, what do you guys think?

I have been trying to get this app since it was discovered on the 16th. My guess is that it was released, found to be buggy, and then pulled back. One thing about the WP7 marketplace is that Microsoft actually QA's the apps during the approval process. Android, never. Apple, yes. But it is to look for anti-apple or sexy stuff(j/k).
My buddy has been trying to get his WP7 GPS app approved for quite some time now. It keeps getting rejected for various QA and functionality requirements that keeps the WP7 ecosystem efficient and functional. So props to Microsoft for being sticklers about the quality of apps released(the purpose and types of apps release is another thing).
In case people want to keep checking for the app, here's the link to Zune d/l: http://ow.ly/3ZWl0

[FREE][APP][2.2+] Timesheet

Hi testers,
I've developed the app Timesheet. It's an app for keeping track of your work hours for payroll reporting, billing etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217159
I think, compared to the competitors, it got the most complete feature set. But i'am only getting 60-100 downloads a day, and currently the retention rate is a dismal 25%. Why?
The few ratings the app got is good (4.3), but i need critical feedback!
Why do downloaders uninstall the app?
Is the app to complicated?
Is the app poorly designed?
Is the app missing some key feature?
Is the app buggy?
Is it the ads?
Is is the lack of translations?
What is it!?
Please download, it's free, and give it a try. Then tell me whats wrong, the cold truth!

Hey! I saw your app and was really eager to test it out. However, I decided not to because I saw it required a lot of permissions; most of these permissions I did not feel comfortable giving the app. I was planning on using this to audit my payroll for myself.
I think having too many sensitive permissions is not good for this type of app in my opinion. Things like reading my personal information, my accounts, to me seems a bit much for something I was just going to use to audit my payroll.
I hope this helps! Good luck And I look forward to see how this project progresses.

Thanks for the feedback.
I've suspected potential user might see this as an issue. I think i'll move some features to optional plug-ins to reduce the permissions requirements, like READ_CALL_LOG (used by phone tasks) and MANAGE_ACCOUNTS/AUTHENTICATE_ACCOUNTS (used by ftp client).

Very good

Sweet alright thanks for the tip. Ive never used illustrator im a Photoshop guy but ill give it a try. Also i tried the app and i had a few issues getting around the UI i got a bit lost but i looks stable and also idk why but maybe just integrate the 3 icons you have installed into one that way it doesnt clutter the homescreen, i know some users dont like having 3 icons for one app. Maybe include a side bar sorta like G+ does.

Thanks for the feedback.
I've heard others getting lost . The problem is that the app is a bit complicated. The view and data structure is both hierarchical (Main > Projects > Tasks > Expenses/Breaks) and wide at each level (Details, Tasks/Breaks, Expenses, Files). I've looked at the side drawer but it doesn't really fit the hierarchy part.
The app actually had three seperate launcher icons in earlier versions. Now it just adds the two additional home screen shortcuts. But even these will be removed in the next version.

I love the set up and the simplicity, one thing I think you could add to make it better is a start date on the project page, I found it confusing to backdate my project until I went on the calander and added it that way. Also as a former door-to-door salesman and now a subcontractor for construction one other thing I found frustrating is there iz no pay by the week, by the sale or by the job option sometimes I work odd hours and get payed compensation, sometimes I work odd hours and get payed by the job, and sometimes I work odd hours and get payed by the week so if you could add that it would become the perfect app for me

Timesheet is should really be used to punch in every time you begin work. That's why the start date is set to today when creating a new task. But as you found out, the History tab is the quickest way to add past time entries.
Change the timespan in the Overview/Details tab to see income, overtime and expenses per day, week, month, etc..

Timesheet isn't intended to be used as a calendar to register future work. But that sounds like an interesing feature we could incorporate better support for.

My first impression is that the app is a little daunting... but then I have never looked at a timesheet app before!
If you are you using Androids analytics you can get a good understanding of the areas people use the most. This is a good way to analyse your app, and make decisions in terms of UI.

Yeah, it’s a bit over engineered. But with so much features it’s hard to keep it simple.
Since i posted this thead, we’ve added alot of features and made the UI a bit more flashy, and it helped alot. The app now got 300+ downloads a day with a retention rate around 30%. It’s top 5 of it’s kind so i think the app has reached it’s peek.

Hi there. I tried your app months ago when I was searching for... well a "timesheet" app. I was one of those who uninstalled your app. One of the common problems here in our small company was having to fill up these excel sheets. I thought your app could help me track my work hours, just to find out it was a bit complicated than what I was expecting. I only wanted to track my work hours. Basically I just wanna know how many hours I spent in a project for that day. In your app I needed to input my hours first before actually starting with my task. I know this is not the proper way to handle projects and all, but there are times when we need to insert some side jobs in between projects. So there you go.

[Q] Only Free Apps in Play Store

I have just received my M8 today and I have set it up fine however I can only see free apps in the Play Store - there are no paid apps anywhere.
Does anyone have a fix for this?

Screenshot press vol down and power at same time and hold.
Play store just select a category then top selling from the tabs above.

Well I can't see or even filter between free and paid apps when I do a search. I can however see Top Free, Top Grossing etc if I swipe from left to right, tap on Store Home, then tap on apps and then swipe left once and choose photography from the Categories list, then it shows all, free, paid, top grossing etc.
Sucks that it doesn't show those filters when you're doing it as a search.

I've spoken with Google Support and they said it's because I live on the Isle of Man. I didn't have this issue with my last phone and none of my friends have this issue but the rep I spoke with is confident that is the reason.

It probably is. In terms of technology, living in the Isle of Man might as well mean living in the middle of nowhere. It's a complete joke.
I replied to the email the Google Support rep sent me after my phone call:
I think I have to be honest here; the issue was last updated over a year ago. Why does it look like Google has given this issue such little attention?
The Isle of Man is a constituent of the United Kingdom so I don't see any issues...
I feel like I've been left out to be honest, all because of where I live. This shouldn't be an issue yet it is and I don't quite understand what barriers are in place to stop some residents of the Isle of Man from purchasing paid apps. Could you please let me know the reason for this? Or could you please put me in touch with someone who can?

I'm not really sure. Probably worth a shot.
I know using Tor can make google think you're from a different country than you're currently in but I don't know if the payment you'll do will work or not. You'll of course have to sign in to google and then buy it still, CC is probably on their system already.
Don't know if it'll work if you go through Tor(Let's say you're in the "UK" now "London") then signing up for a new google account and add your necessary info(Will credit card work still?) and then attempting to download it.
I haven't done it myself so I can't really confirm, haven't had this problem like you're having now but, who knows, it's maybe worth a shot.

it’s quite simple,
you hold down the power button for
a couple seconds and then you
press the home button. Make sure
you don’t hold down the Power
button for too long, or else you will
see the Power dialog. Hit THANKS If i helped

Yeah I think he already figured how to do the screenshots... :good:

Your best bet is the root the phone if you haven't done so already. Then install Xposed and this module. This has a function to unrestrict the Play store. Hopefully that will work.

Note that it will NOT allow you to download apps that are not offered in your country, or restricted by anything but your custom DPI.
Stated so in the article, but I suppose it won't hurt to have a look either way.
