Develop Bugs

[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.

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?

[APP] [FREE] roamr - bike trip logger

Hi everyone,
I'm working on my first app for WP7, a bike trip manager. It's 50% completed - the app's working and no new functionalities will be added. The other 50% is of course bug-finding.
I want to test it on a real Windows Phone device, I don't own one and the emulator isn't perfect for testing. I won't post any details yet, but I can assure you that it will be useful and convenient for cyclists (including me).
For now, I need ONE tester with a Windows Phone Mango, just to check the basic functionalities on a real phone. Then, I'll need around 5 testers to find all the bugs and volunteers to translate some texts to several languages.
I plan to put the app on the Marketplace and everyone who will play a role in beta-testing will have this app for free.
Please don't PM me, just post in the thread and I'll contact you ASAP

cheers
thanks

I'll try to test your app.

I need more 2-3 testers, anyone is interested? It would be nice to have a low-budget phone to test the performance.

Hi, I could test it
Pozdrawiam
(LG E900 Mango)

Would love to test it out,can eventually translate in german

Pozdrawiam

Ok, that's enough for now, thanks!

So, the app is on the Marketplace as a private beta: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/apps/78978875-c8de-4834-bcb9-ef982750ad32
If anyone's interested in beta-testing, please PM me your Live ID.

So, finally the app is on the Marketplace!
roamr - Windows Phone Marketplace
Thanks everyone who have helped me make this app better. I believe I can still improve it, so any suggestions and bug reports are welcome.

I just want to announce that since today, the app (for a limited amount of time) is available for FREE

TRUE PTT apps/Walkie Talkie/SMS WITHOUT A NETWORK/DATA CONNECTION

Hi guys I would like to share some great apps that are F-R-E-E and are developed for a good cause. Its called Serval. Its basically a app designed to make calls via WIFI / Bluetooth without a need for a working network / data connection. No extra hardware needed. Just your lovely android and thats it. It is developed for rural communities with absolutely no phone connection. Give it a spin and support the devs if you can its really interesting might take a while to setup but worth the try.
Root is NOT required but having ROOT give you more features thats all. Its so handy you can even send an .apk via the app itself nice touch!
Developer webpage : http://www.servalproject.org/
Video Demo of app : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYibygOdYMM
Download : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDIxMiwib3JnLnNlcnZhbHByb2plY3QiXQ..
Some of us might not find this usefull at all but I find it great if you do road trips with friends abroad and you do not actually want to pay for that [email protected]#$ expensive roaming bills etc etc. So you can call for F-R-E-E between cars / motorbikes or whatever form of vehicle you have.
Another app I find nice of the same features
Android Intercomm :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5hbmRyb2lkaW50ZXJjb20iXQ..
I am in NO REALATION with devs from the above apps mention, sharing cause they are developing for a good cause.

Wow! I wanted one of these apps!
Thanks!

Give both of them a spin . I been searching for them for super long too so I figure other people might want it too! Both are in beta stage so maybe unstable do give it some time. Any questions regarding setup I can try to help :victory:

[Q] Is 'Droid working strictly for us (and not for Google) possible?

Hi, guys!
Before I pose my question: I am really in awe of projects in the Open Source community style and this is soooooo good to see and experience (my other hobby is Sat TV "hacking" and so on... )!!!!!!!!!! :good: So, endless thanx and respect(!!!!) to all involved!!!!!!!!!!
Context: recently I managed to S-OFF my HTC Desire with 'Droid 2.2.2, then somehow I rooted it, 4EXT recovery/backup (if memory serves, the "touch" one) is in, in recovery mode I flashed the latest MIUI ROM (sorry if I misspelled it) with JB 4.1.2, improved the "radio" and so on... The one or two things that do not work - that I noticed - was no sending SMSs and poor video recording and reproduction. So, the search is continuing!
My question is - before I attempt the flashing of Paranoid Android ROM (how fitting, regarding my question! ) - is there a ROM that has kicked the living daylights out of Google corporate c*a#, please? As in, there is no stuff, in that would-be ROM, that constantly collects our data and sends it back to corporate and other commercial coders, please?
Because, as a matter of principle, we ought not to have to think of just how much data is going to corporation(s) and individuals coding apps etc. And from then on, to "authorities", of course. Not that I have anything to fear, in that respect - but it is the principle that is at stake here! Similar with Linux v. MacroHard and their "enlightened" attitude towards our privacy etc.
You know, we have a myriad of apps of all sorts, so I suppose we do not need Google's intrusion in all aspects of our interaction. I am perfectly happy, for instance, to use Firefox or Maxthon or Opera browser and get into my emails that way, not having to use the Google app for Gmail! I presume we could also have other apps to replace Google chat (presumably through Firefox in Gmail?) and so on and so forth. Really, I do not need Google's maps, when we have Open Street app and so on and on and on.
So, does this ROM exist, please? No Google/corporate/commercial stuff in it, that is...
And if not, has the time arrived?:angel: It is Linux, after all...
Would it be possible to make something like that?
Many thanx, again!
P.S. I recently bought a SuperPad tablet and I wonder if there are custom built ROMs/OSs for those, as well? Anyone knows, please?

Well of course any Rom without the Google apps.
Your principles on data collection went out the window when you first used the internet.

I disagree... respectfully, of course...
For instance, see BBC website for the "right to be forgotten" EU proposal on data collection/storage/handling... However, no such battle can ever be completely lost or won - they keep going on...
As a newby I have a problem with posting links but... let me try:
Code:
bbc co uk / news / technology-16677370
My Q was also re. full functionality without Google stuff - some ROM authors warn that their ROMs can't function properly unless we flash the Google stuff immediately after ROM itself... Any clarification, please?

its not to do with they cant function properly (they can) its just the fact that play store is "google" and u also need a gmail account. correct me if im wrong. Soo like dethrat says,.... its about gapps. (more or less).

It's not a matter of me thinking this is/you're wrong (on this one). I think/hope, that you are also hoping that I am right... Am I right?
You have a point, in a way, since it started in this manner with credit cards (easily done but also easily circumvented) and onwards but...
Look, ever tried Flipboard? I mean, if you are neglecting the examples I already wrote about... Check it and compare with Google Currents, please... Simply flipboard dot com... Need I say more?
On the level of principles: we do not need to be tethered/electronically tagged and under constant "surveillance" by Google or any other corporation or even the state, for that matter... Don't you think this is kinda worth at least trying? No offence intended to anyone(!) but I think this is the adult thing to do...:angel:
Well, this is what I am looking forward to nowadays... So, do you think that, for instance, a developer of Paranoid Android could make it all work with "alternative" apps, please? An effective "Ads Blocker" and kinda "No Script" apps included, of course. Maybe even - in this sense - "cleaned up" crucial apps, too... If "Anonymous" were really serious and competent (intellectually, professionally and morally), maybe they should get on it right away, eh? :angel:
I mean, if I ever requested anything from anyone on these boards, this would be it - an AIO OS without corporate [email protected]#. And I have a feeling that a fair few of us might keep trying this sort of thing out...:good:

Code:
bbc dot co dot uk / news / science-environment-21923360
Any more info on my question, please? Anyone with some experience?
Cheers!

So, the great WoH tells me that it is possible to use his ROM without the G-stuff, that is "Gapps" - and that everything should work just fine! And I am very grateful for this possibility! I only need to "skip the step with the gapps", he says.
Then, one proceeds with "3rd party app stores" like Amazon, GetJar, Fireplace and Yandex.Store. I presume there is an included browser in the ROM without the Gapps, so I start it and go to one of those sites, get their gadget and simply install from there, the free stuff... hopefully not having to log in with my Gmail account...
My problem, though, lies here in this thread - setting up PDroid. That's for seriously enhanced privacy/security! In the thread's "how to" there seem to be some discrepancies with the newer versions of PDroid... Really not sure how to do it, what exactly must be done, with which files... And I can't post in that section, to ask questions... Like "Where is the apk you mention in the top post?" and "What exactly are the steps?"
So, I must prepare by reading a lot, testing it and then redoing it, from scratch, i.e. flash the ROM again, as WoH described in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131790
My hope would be that he includes the PDroid patch/apps - if at all possible - in the next edition of his awesome ROM!
Also, I would dearly love to see and test a ROM with all the best alternative apps, links to a few of the best 3rd party apps stores, tools etc. - but no G-c#@p (or almost no G-c#@p)... at least as much as humanly possible...
Here is a sketch:
3rd party apps stores,
keyboard and speech apps,
a couple of browsers (Firefox/Opera, maybe),
a few tools to manage the phone and set it up properly (Advanced Task Killer, Android Manager and alike),
best audio-visually capable Gtalk app and Skype for chat,
some non-demanding but good protection (Avast suite?),
Flipboard for news,
Adobe Reader, Kindle and Aldiko for reading,
MX and Meridian players for multimedia stuff,
Flash,
camera and videocam apps(?),
audio, video and photo editing SW,
Sopcast (TV channels) and "1Channel for Google" for audio-video streaming from the net,
...and so on,,, everybody continuing to fill it up according to their preferences, of course... all freeware/gratis!!!
Perhaps call it an "Alternative apps pack"???
So, maybe: when apps2sd card tool has been installed, we flash the "Alternative apps pack"... and it all goes to an SD card?
I think this might be a very cool idea, for many of us...
Go WoH and co.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :good:

[Q] What to use

Hi everyone,
I have got a new task to make an application, but I have worked so far with eshops, so this is something new for me and I would really appreciate some advices from you. Concretely I am interested in some frameworks to use and what languages is best for app that have to:
- store offline data
- show updates from FB
- show short updates from articles
I have checked and most probably use for this HTML5, local SQL and some script language that I did not chose yet. From the others I have considered Phonegap, backbone.js. Can anyone just let me know If I am completely off or sugest better solution?
thank you in advance

ntsngai and
I've been using the MEAN stack, which can do everything you listed.
