I just found this posting on craigslist "Are you an Android user? Does your operating system have OS 2.1 or higher loaded on your phone or tablet? If so, apply to participate in an upcoming product test and earn $50 to participate, if you qualify.
FIND MORE DETAILS ON http://android.paidtrial.org/Philadelphia"
Here is the link: http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/evg/3005691935.html
I installed the app, and it accesses my location, network communication, personal information, storage, phone calls, system tools, network communication and system tools. Should I uninstall it?
Focus groups are generally alright to participate in, but I wouldn't do this one. There is a way to see what data is transmitting from apps like this, just can't remember how to do it.

This is NOT a good company or app.
I kept the app active for 45 days.Never got paid.Support takes forever to answer unless you say something that pisses them off then they'll answer overnight with some unhelpfulness.
After the 30th day active I emailed them asking about the VCC reward to which they replied:"Rewards are processed at the beginning of each month,any rewards earned this month will be paid the first week of next month."
Waited until half of next month passed and emailed them again,their reply:"We will try processing payments sometime this month,if you have successfully had the app running and qualify for an incentive you may get it this month,unfortunately there is not currently a way for us to review your account to check for completeness at this time."
2 months later,still no reward at all.They stopped answering me.Guess I was a sucker for letting them track my every move or whatever they were looking for.Good thing all I did was browse porn on that phone for those 2 months so the jokes on them I guess.

After 2 days I uninstalled the app. Thanks for letting me know you're experience, now I know that I wasn't missing anything & they are scammers.

just from the craigslist ad posting you quoted I would not have bothered.
Especially if they didn't give you reasons to why they wanted all those permissions. Just lacked information.

I know this is a new post, and I'll probably get flamed etc...
But, HOW DO YOU DO IT?
You were up before 5am posting a new rom (so no sleep last night).. went to work and still carried on answering questions (good and dumb ones).. then you've got enough sense left to make a good decision NOT to include an embeded radio in WMXL AND close the thread to stop timewasters (like me)...
Go and get some sleep bcos we need you... stop posting for a few days and just watch us get screwed up and sorted out without you - you've already done the hard work, without which there would be no discussion...
Hero worship, hero worship, we're not worthy etc
I'm going to be off the forum for a few days, got to catch up on work and sleep. PM me any fixes. I'm already looking towards v0.30.
Oh yeah, if you're getting more value from your Hermes, send some support first to XDA-Dev (this place is expensive to maintain) then to the guys who came before me and if anything is left for me it's appreciated but make sure XDA and those who built the foundations I based this on get their fair share. See the list in my threads...
Long Live XDA!!!!!!!
i do have to agree!!
how on Earth have Kyphur the XDA-Devs team managed to turn my tytn from a slow WM5 pain to an awesome super speedy WM6 monster!!!
You guys are gods among mortals!
Yes, he is the man and all, don't say it too much or you will wear it off.
You know what I think we should do too? Send them some coin.
Come on guys, for all intensive purposes HTC and Microsoft where planning on screwing us by not giving us an update. Since so far their take is "Hell, you want WM6, then buy a new phone!" Yeah, like as if the TyNT is a $50 dollar candy bar.
Here come these guys and not only set the vanilla but are working on an improved version of WM6.
Even two bucks is better than just words --more is better, $5 perhaps? Show your support. I will.
Thanks for the work XDA!
You don't need to send these guys cash, they're made of money and are actually using multiple clones of themselves to work in parallel. Kyphur Mark I sleeps 20 hours a day, don't pity him. He has lost his looks though.

Sorry about the title, typed in the wrong date.
It's confirmed. Windows Phone 7 will launch on the 11th of October in New York. T-Mobile is one of the launch carriers. AT&T is confirmed to be the second.

This seems more like speculation with a bit of truth. Don't really care though I'm on Tmobile, because I know it will come soon.
I plan on upgrading , but I won't do it until I see a device with a 32GB option. If not then I'll just get the Zune HD2 64GB (If it is real) with a Android Device.
T-Mobile is definitely not the only carrier for WP7.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/04/...ndts-ralph-de-la-vega-to-headline-windows-ph/
It very well may be that AT&T will be exclusive for a bit with T-Mo getting devices later. Maybe AT&T is getting them the same date as Europe (October 21st) and T-Mo is launching November 8th?
I don't believe its a lunch. Its just a press meeting for people to see what the finished devices are like.

Depends on your definition of "launch". In this case, they're showing off the devices and announcing retail availability, etc. Everything about the v1 release should be fully open... no more of this "we can't tell you that" (except in regards to future updates).
yes! its about time cant wait to upgrade my htc hd2

Right. But it won't be available to consumers right on that day will it? That's what I meant. I associate "launch" to "consumer-availability"

Solved IT, make sure personal email is not same as company and make sure phone number is in international format
Hmm already have an AppHub membership, any way this could be used to pay for the next subscription fee?
Does it have the region limitation? like only limit to certain countries or regions that can "verify" by GeoTrust?

So I looked into this - turns out that there is a country limitation which wasn't clearly announced. I asked for verification of which countries and ahven't heard back yet due to the time difference.
Coincidentally, I am in KL this week doing startup engagement work with the local BizSpark team. I just left a speaking engagement at the MAD Incubator and am back in the KLCC now. I'll let you know what I hear.

Tnx for the update, just waiting on being verified by GeoTrust
any ideas how long it normally takes the team to respond ?
Hi, I just saw the offer and applied for BizSpark account. Now as I search about it, I've come to know that it is targeted toward small companies, whereas I'm just an individual.
Is there any way to cancel my application? Thanks.
I take it this is not supported in the UK ? Have applied but no response
luckily for me I already got a free apphub account through dreamspark
Thank you for your interest in the App Hub offer. The offer is no longer available but please stay tuned as we will announce new offers and benefits as they are made available.

missed it. I'm about to publish a couple but been held back by the entrance fee. Guess will wait until the next one...
Not sure what's going on, but am not getting updates from XDA (or any vBulleting forum) for some reason.
UK is eligible. If you haven't gotten access yet, I can get anyone a token manually. Let me know.
Hi again, I am soo interested. Want to publish the two apps I have so far, but I already missed the rebate offer (apr 15). If I could have a token I would be so much more grateful (already am, with the Bizspark membership).
RE: The updates, same thing happened to me in the past two weeks. No updates. In my case, found them all in the spam folder (gmail), never happened before.
So, anyways. If possible, I'd very much appreciate access to it.

Stil stuck on "Publisher identity verification(geoTrust)" for over 2 weeks..
I was stuck in the identification process for 2 weeks or more. After reading around I saw that actually submitting an app speeds up the process, 3 days after I submitted a dummy app I got an email to verify.
I couldn't Find it to download it but I had it on my xoom still here's a link to the apk. It works on my epic 4g rooted. I was shocked and horrified that it was taken down.

I have had this app for a almost 2 years now.. this is the best craigslist app hands down.. I wish it was still on the market.
I set this app up, so that everytime a new job in the I.T field was posted in my area, it sent me a notification..
I have my resume and cover letter on my phone.. so I would email it to them within 5 minutes of them posting it.
That is exactly what I do with mine phone and Craigslist app. My last 4 jobs I got because of this app.
I was always one of the first 4 or 5 people to apply
The winning factor in getting a job now a days.
Keep resume as PDF, quick email.. Winning
Can apply for a job while at the Ball Game with ease (done it)
I don;t get it, I have Craigslist mobile on my Epic and I still see all of them on the market.

BlackBerry Messenger coming to iOS and Android on June 27th!!!!
BlackBerry Messenger will be arriving on iOS and Android in just three weeks. T-Mobile UK revealed the date on Twitter, teasing a photo of a Galaxy S3 running the previously BlackBerry-exclusive chat service. BBM will only work on Android 4.0+.

They're about 5 years too late..
Of every friend I currently talk too, or have talked too in the past, all except for one has moved from a BB to another device. Literally, one person I know uses a Blackberry, the Z10. Even the people I no longer associate with who have low income or no job have low end Android or refurbished/hand-me-down iPhones.
I used to work for a company that did cloud based e-mail exchange hosts and other email related services (sharepoint, office 365, etc) and at that time, 4 years ago, more support tickets were submitted based on "what Android phone would you recommend for our company to mass-purchase?". Occasionally it was iPhone switchers, but seemingly almost everyone wanted to get away from their ancient BB's..
Don't think so. Read the update...

I think most people use it due to the fact they can't shell out lots of cash to have a plan that allows unlimited texting. I know for one the prices of our cell bills is just way to much. If I want to text down to the states that's just more added onto my bill. Only reason I don't any other app is I simply don't trust them or have not been running as long as BBM.
