i will try to help as much as i am learning day by day as well and i encourage new members to search and read before and take a proactive approach in solving problems n such and learn day by day
Damnit! Some of us like flaming people
Good idea though, and I hope to be able to help...
yep, great idea, but will they ignore it, just like they ignore the rule called search?

OK, I'll give it a try then!
I'm looking for a program that intercepts incoming calls, just like S2U2 does, then displays the name, phone number and picture and has two large buttons accept or decline the call. I don't like the HTC dailer, it doesn't work for me..
I now use S2U2, but I don't need the sliding/locking part. Any suggestions?

This is a great idea! I think the Mods should step in and make this one sticky. Then for every noobish thread, move them to the end of this thread to keep the forum clean.
Noobies may not immediately realize this is where they should ask questions, but Mods can help. Or change the rule a bit to someone has to make at least 10 posts or so before they can start add new topics?

You should be able to turn off the sliding lock in S2U2 settings. In other words, turn off "Lock when device wakes up" and "Lock when backlight turns off."

In the S2U2 setting you can enable or disable one feature called: "Slide to asnwer"..
if you disable it it will work just as these 2 screens (these screens are from s2u2).. else it will work using the slide feature...
all good?

Very simple Profile Manager
I'm looking for a very simple profile manager (Nokia like), I need only to switch from "normal" to "meeting" or another or two custom profiles, then I need the possibility to choose for how many time, then, after this time, automatically switch back to normal.
I dont need to switch wifi or bluetooth on and off, only the possibility to change ring volume and/or switch vibration on and off.
Thanks, Andrea
WELL DONE...
Finally a great idea....
Why doesn't a mod stick this thread??
I mean... Not here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397610 but in the first page of "Development and Hacking" section.
Because surely noobs don't read the sticky rollup thread....
Excellent Idea
I plan to put this in my signature for sure. I may come here as well if I have a question, answer/resolution, or after thought. It's an excellent way many to give back to the community as well.

One Noob reporting for dutey sir
Let me try as well
I have been looking for a Calendar similar to iPhone. I am not an iphone fan. But I like the calendar, I mean their agenda view. I would like to have software which shows agenda view for a year or so. I am using today agenda which is good one but that shows only 30 days max. Dont ask me to try agenda fusion and the other huge applications I have tried them too heavy and complicated. I dont use most of thei funtionalities. What I am looking for is a simple program which can show agenda view for a year or may be more
THanks

Reply to jugulator:
In my opinion , I would def recomend Thumbcal. Type it in on google search, it is on here somewhere. Thats by far the most iPhone like calendar I've used, pluse it's pretty, it's functional, and No bugs, that I've noticed.
Also, I would really like to thank the noobys that have actually used this thread. That has saved four unneccisary threads from getting started already, and look how fast your questions got answered. If you would have made a new thread, then you would have just got flamed. I really hope more ppl support this thread, and the mods stick it. More noobs would see it, and therefore use it. Once they see how quick the replys are, then why wouldn't they. But thanks for the support, and I hope you keep it up, and get others involved. This is my cotribution to help clean up. Also , I'm going to start something new.
For every question that gets posted, and then gets answered, I will personally PM the person who asked , to let them know that its answered. I will check the site every night, and morning, and for sure do this. I hope this helps provoke more use. Thanks guys.

I want to thank all the people here on XDA who took the time to flash my ROM several times throughout it's stages of progression, and report any issues found. Without them, this process surely would have taken longer then 6 days to complete. This ROM has been stripped down to it base little by little over the last week. According to my Recycle Bin, 49.1MB of "junk" has been pulled out of the original AT&T WM 6.1 ROM. Full list of removed applications in Post #4.
Please Note:
This ROM does not include a radio. I am not too partial to the original radio included by AT&T, as are many other people (battery life), so I decided to allow you to choose your own. Please Note: This ROM requires a radio that is compatible with the latest HTC builds. For a list of compatible radios, check out AllTheWay's Ultimate Radio Thread.
In order to achieve optimal performance with this ROM, 99.5% of the files not required for error-free operation have been removed. Immediately upon flashing this ROM, I strongly suggest flashing a Task Manager, such as the one in Post #3 below.
This ROM is UC Compatible. If you are not familiar with UC, check out the UC thread for details. PLEASE NOTE: UC runs automatically upon Initial Customization finishing, so it is normal to see the progress bar restart several times (and turn orange). Your phone will automatically reset after about 1 minute.
Big Thanks Go Out To:

Nice work, but from the look of the screen shots, there is still a bit of bloat there. Your default background and color scheme seem to indicate that.

Well your statement seems to indicate your kind of an idiot? Am I rash to jump to such a conclusion? Why would you post this? If you look at the picture you'll see that there is 148MB of free program space. I'm pretty sure that's now a lot of "bloat". If you think you can do better, then cook your own rom, otherwise keep comments like that to yourself.
@NotATreoFan
Thanks for this release, i appreciate your time take to strip this rom clean for us.
Wow another fine contribution to the community. Thank you for sharing.

Please think before you open your mouth. If you think the background and color make a the ROM bloat you need to do a little more research.

The idea behind this ROM is for it to have the look and feel of AT&T's ROM, but without TeleNav and all that other crap they install and slow down the phone. I intentionally left the AT&T blue theme in the ROM because their dialer is blue, and it looks goofy against the WM default green theme.
I'm aware that there is still some bloat in the ROM, as I stated above. I will be working to clean it up more in the coming days. In the meantime, if someone wants an OEM-looking ROM that is pretty damn quick out of the box without any tweaking, this is for them.
I also state above that I will be releasing more cooked ROMs based on this one, but they will include additional applications and tweaks to color scheme and performance.
I'll be waiting for the newer ROM with tweaks and additional applications.
But for now, looks good to have a clean, fresh ROM from AT&T without crap
Thanks. I will be downloading and trying it this weekend. I have been less than satisfied with the ATT ROM and before I make the jump back to 6.0 I had hoped to get a stripped ROM to play with.
I appreciate your efforts. By the way, I have been reading for weeks, but have never seen what UC represents. Can someone enlighten me?

going to flash this to a few of my co-worker's tilts since they don't like flashing every other day like me i'll report back anything they find as i'm sure this rom is best for non-flash junkies.

Thank you for the kind words.
I guess we just have two different ideas of what no bloat is. I personally believe it is a cosmetically debranded device (more in line with a Kyphyr release) , obviously you see it otherwise. Besides, beyond that, I personally see SIM Manager and CapSure as bloat. If you see it a different way, that's fine.

Thank you so VERY much. This is great. I have been playing with the AT&T ROM and like it, but it does need a lot of cleaning. I'll be downloading this when I get home and install it ASAP. Thank you for all of your work. We ALL thank you.
this is amazing i always liked official roms but the extra bulls is very annoying...great job thanks alot for doing the work most of us would enjoy thanks again

***WELCOME***
Welcome everyone who has a question, but just can't seem to find an answer. My hope is that this thread will reduced the extremely large number of new threads being created for every little issue each user is having. The rules are very simple. Please follow them, as it's just not that hard.
1) Absolutely NO FLAMING. I am completely inflexible on this rule. If i catch you do it, you will get an xda vacation (will be banned, in case you don't get it). Also, just to be clear, "use the search function" is not an acceptable answer in this thread.
2) Before you post you MUST read THIS. Trust me, I will know if you didn't.
3) Anyone can post any issue they're having with their Raphael in this thread, but you MUST include a detailed description of your issue. If after a couple days your issue has not been addressed, please feel free to bump it.
4) Remember you are asking for help, and the as the saying goes "it's easier to catch flies with honey than vinegar. So be nice to those who are helping you.
5) Please quote the person you are replying to, it will make it MUCH easier for people to sort through the many messages that will end up in here.
This is an experiment based on a suggestion by another users, so we will see how it goes. If all goes well then i hope that this thread will be a great help to many new members. If not then we will make adjustments. I want to thank all those who will be contributing to this forum for their time in advance, as i certainly know i won't be answering these questions all by myself.
Note: If you feel your thread has been moved here in error, please PM me politely and ask me to move the related posts back into their own thread. Sometimes the wrong threads get moved here by accident. Please also provide a clear explanation of why you think this topic deserves it's own thread. Angry tirades and rants will be of no use, and will more likely than not simply get you a warning or a ban.
bad blocks on TOUCH PRO
hi all. My touch pro crashed several times today after I changed another ROM. I think that would be the problem of the ROM, so I changed it back to the original ROM, but it didn't help cause it still get crash. So I tried MTTY with "info 8" command and I got a unfortunately result, there are 13 bad blocks on my device. I also tried to fix it with "task 2a" command but nothing happened. Does anyone have any ideas about this case? May be my touch pro is the first one which has bad blocks...pls help! THANKS!
According to the author of this topic, his TP has 8 bad blocks and according to cmonex her's also has 8 bad blocks and you are lucky you didn't kill you SPL with task 2a as it is intended for the Hermes.
Maybe the crashes are due to applications you have installed or a bad flash. Try running a rom without extra apps for a few days and see how it goes.
Edit: Out of curiosity I have also checked mine and I also have 8 bad blocks
Code:
BLOCK 486 (0x1E6) is bad block
BLOCK 821 (0x335) is bad block
BLOCK 1233 (0x4D1) is bad block
BLOCK 1989 (0x7C5) is bad block
BLOCK 2352 (0x930) is bad block
BLOCK 2854 (0xB26) is bad block
BLOCK 3095 (0xC17) is bad block
BLOCK 3170 (0xC62) is bad block
thanks for your reply man, but I wanna tell you that I've already tried out the original official rom without any other extra apps, but it still crash a lot.
I have thirteen bad blocks BTW, not eight.
On Screen Keyboard Problem
Ok, here's another one I can't figure out. For some reason, the large on screen keyboard will only allow the input of numbers and symbols. Pressing the "ABC" key on the side does nothing. It used to work and now it doesn't. Any ideas of what is wrong? The compact QWERTY on screen keyboard works fine....... I have, of course, already tried all of the settings under "keyboard" in the settings menu.
weather update via activesync
Hi,
Is it possible to update the weather automatically when synchronising via activesync?
I know that you can do it manually but sometimes I forget to update and I know that you can update the weather automatically but then it updates also via Edge.

Sending a text message with the enter key
Hello everyone!
I was wondering if there was anyway to send a text message without touching the screen to press the send button. I would like to be able to press "Enter" and have it send the message. I do not need it to be a carriage return in this case.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Manilla Editor
Hey guys,
I'm fairly new to the forums, but have really gotten into flashing and editing everything about my raphael
One issue I have been having is editing the graphics on the device. I have read alot about manilla editor, and so downloaded it, but the only one I could find was for the Diamond ... I tried installing it, but it failed. Does anyone know where the TP version is?
oh n in advance...Sorry if this is a noob question.
Skype out of Front Speaker instead of Rear Speaker?
Guess this gets asked a million times, but is there anyway to get the sound out of the front speaker instead of the rear speaker from Skype?
I know about using headphones/ bluetooth, but without either of them?

AFAIK, a similar thread exists in the Skype user forum and states that it is not possible as WM will not offer an API function to access the front speaker.

Noob Fuze key mapping question
Just picked one up today.
Is there a way to map the Home key to windows start? Seems alien to me not to have that on a hardkey.
Using AEBPlus you can remap all buttons INSTEAD home and back(that's actually ok/close).
You can assign long press green key to open start menu for example.
Unfortunately,home/back can be remaped as well,but they have its own functions untouched,so there are conflicts with opening something/going home...
Now I tried that to use with long press home button,OS goes to home and the StartMenu appears. This is nowadays the maximum we could achieve.
How about re-mapping of the PTT key?
Does it show up as a button for AEBPlus to re-map or will that require a registry change as with the Tilt?

Requires a reg edit, I was able to do it on my pre-release but apparently something's changed since then. All my reg edit does on current Fuzes is stops the PTT button from popping up the notification.
Ultra slow Backup of Fuze with Sprite Backup - 15MB out of 110 MB after 50 minutes
Hi all,
I had successfully used Sprite Backup with Tilt and the backup took 10 minutes tops,
now with Fuze it took 50 minutes to backup 15MB out of 110MB it needs to backup,
and I tried it several times right after doing a soft rest as well to make sure nothing is in its way.
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? I'm about to try SPB Backup (if the trial works without limitation) and see if it work with it,
but I'm puzzled why it's taking this long with the bundled Sprite Backup.
Also the device does not freeze up, it's continuing to backup very little by little.
The backup speed is so slow that the Sprite report is indicating "0 KB/second" speed in the report.
There are no other errors in the report other than failing to backup PTT\VoiceBuffer.dat which I believe is not related to this issue.
Update; I was able to backup with SPB Backup; it only took 5 minutes and it said it backed up 50MB so looks like the problem is with Sprite.
Guys,
For several years I have been using IneSoft's Cash Organizer and until the purchase of my HD2, Cash Organizer has served me very well.
However, with the HD2 the marriage is now in tatters.....
The problem is with viewing transactions.
Basically, if you wish to view a particular transaction stored what you used to do was swipe your finger to scroll through the list or use a stylus on the scroll bar to the right.
Even with a large database of transactions you could easily locate a particular transaction by moving the page slowly either up or down.
However, with the HD2's capacitive screen you can't 'finger swipe' the screen.
The only way to manoeuvre through a long list is to use the thick scroll bar to the right.
It is here however lays the problem.....
With a large database of transactions the slightest of movement either up/down causes the list to jump not a few transactions at a time but several pages.
As such it is neigh on impossible to scroll to a particular transaction.
So....... I'm here tonight to ask what 'Finance Software' do you guys use or recommend?
Bearing in mind it obviously has to be 'finger-friendly'.
Thanks in advance.

glad to read this

Ohh Yes.... and THAT is only the start of it.
Basically, I started a topic on the IneSoft forum on the 18 Nov asking for support.
This fell to total silence and then I noticed another member posted asking for the same.
As nothing further developed I 'bumped' the topic by asking again.....
Once again nothing...
Then the other poster made another request and yet again nothing.
Then all of a sudden both the posters requests and my requests disappeared.
So, we both re-posted material requests and these again were both deleted.
It was now at this point the other poster requested the Moderator stop deleting our posts and concentrate on giving a reply.
I myself posted the same... After all, there had been no flaming or offensive derogatory remarks.... Just pure frustration.
I also made a point of mentioning in the post on this occasion I had taken a 'snapshot' of the topic and had the entire topic saved.
Guess what......
..
..
..
Yes, they deleted both mine and the other posters posts AGAIN.
So..... if it were not for the fact Cash Organizer means so much to me I doubt I would continue to support IneSoft.
However, I have now written to powers outside of the Forum asking for an investigation.
I await a response.
I have no answer for you but I shall watch this thread carefully as I'm a long-term SPB Finance user.
Unfortunately, this app seems "dormant" / "dead" in terms of ongoing development - last release was January 2008. But, why change something that works well - on a HD "classic" SPB Finance is super - on the HD2, however, it's a nightmare!
With care the app is useable but hardly one to recommend for the HD2.
Guess I'll just have to wait for a new finance app in the Market Place (ho ho ho !)
Guys,
fards sent me a P.M. earlier on with a suggestion to try and use the small application VolDpad.
I am totally ecstatic to report the use of this small app has given the control I had lost.
Granted, it does not give 'finger-scrolling' or 'swiping' but what it has done is allowed me to run the application whenever I load Cash Organizer and use the Vol Up/Down as a scroll Up/Down.
I can once again scroll through transactions singular and not several pages at a time using the thick scroll bar on the right of Cash Organizer's screen.
fards,
If you are reading this....
My sincere thanks to you.
I owe you one.
I have also Donated to VolDpad's author.
This has gone through PayPal and has been accepted.
Please see here.
Thanks again..... truly appreciated.

As I mentioned in the quote from me above, I wrote directly to IneSoft asking them to investigate why both wampots and my posts were being deleted from the IneSoft Forum.
This morning I received a reply back from the Director at IneSoft:-
Hello Mike,
I apologize for what happened.
I'll check the causes of the incident.
Please write to me what problem you are concerned about our products. I promptly answer you personally.
Once again I offer you my apologies for such practices.

At last, someone whom may listen and take action.
I'll let you know how this develops.

Member br3nt came up with an interesting option to try.
Here's what was mentioned:-
was going through Reg and found this, don't know if it relevant but saw you guys mentioned biotouch...
HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Disable4SpecificApp\Res coExplorer
and there we find Resco, dont know if this helps you anything though, maybe you can play around and create new settings for your financial app - or I've just misunderstood everything
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had a look in the registry but couldn't make out what I had to do to either change or add an extra line.
If anyone can think of an idea I am open to try it.
Thanks.
Can you make a screenshot of that page?
With Resco registry normaly you have to create a value with the app name.exe (without exe). That means you have to add extra lines of the programs.
There are 4 values to choose. You can try everyone of them and see if the \RescoExplorer has the same icon, with the one you made. Most of time is a string value. Try it!
Resco explorer use its owen biotouch system to scroll. If Resco explorer scrolling working, maybe this one will work too.
If the cappacitive problem can be solved with this little trick, it would be awesome!
The only thing that stopps me now to buy a HD2, is the cappacitive screen. And use cash organiser since many years too.

Although I have found the location where the Biotouch section lays I would not know where to start in adding items to the registry.
Obviously I need to add a line but what and where?
If there were a value you could change from 0 to 1 that would not be a problem but what I read makes no sense.
Did you try this ?

Thanks but no....
I have many years of transactions built with Cash Organizer plus 'when' it works it works in a very professional and clear manner.
The one you kindly mention looks a bit too basic plus I wouldn't be able to import all those years of data.
Thanks again, I truly appreciate your post but it's not for me.
Hope you understand.
Why don`t you make a screeshot of that reg page? Where the Rescoexplorer is.
I don't have a HD2, but i want to understand why is so difficould for you to add an application in there

Re The screenshot ~ I would need to obtain an app that would allow me to do so but would be happy once I have located such application.
Re The difficulty in not adding to the registry ~ I am a surgeon by profession.
I do not confess to having a greater understanding, whereby to add detail in the registry other than changing Enable 0's to 1's is my present limit.
It may be a simple step but I unfortunately have never found the time to learn the intricacies of registry hacking.
What I can do is copy all that is in the Biotouch folder... Would that help?
What icon does it have in the folder "Disable4SpecificApp" at the front of resco explorer?
If it is "ab", then press menu/new/string value
If it is "m", then press menu/new/multi Line string value
if it is "011110" then press menu/new/binary value
if it is "D" then press menu/new/DWORD Value
Try to modify the exist entry with rescoexplorer and tell us what does it say

I pressed the New String and that brings up "Name" & String".
What do I add here?
Sorry but do not understand your comment ~ "Try to modify the exist entry with rescoexplorer and tell us what does it say".
Press and hold the rescoexplorer entry and it apears a window. The first option i s modify. What does it say by name and string?

If you are talking of the ab (Default) icon it simply says:-
(value not set)
Press & Hold then brings up:-
String Value
Name: (Default)
String: Blank
Whereas inside the Resco Explorer Folder there are two icons:-
ab (Default) value not set
ab ClassName TouchListCtrl
I can not undertand what you are saying.
Please extract the reg enty rescoexplorer and upload here
Hey everyone,
a user from the android-hilfe.de forum mentioned the idea of an app that i found very interesting. I then started implementing stuff and here i want to present you the first usable beta version of the app.
It is a community quiz. You can post quiz questions, other users answer them and place their bid on their answer. At the end you close the question with the correct answer and everyone is rewarded according to their bids.
Please help beta testing that app. Please note that in this very first beta, no work has been done for layout and design. See it as a functional prototype. Although i would be very thankful for design/layout ideas, maybe some even wants to help me?
I'm really looking forward to your feedback
Here is the link to a simple beta page that i hacked together: http://quizzer-android.appspot.com
And of course the corresponding QR code:

good concept for an app, will probably be pretty fun when its finished, but right now the app is extremely unstable, sometimes it just exits right after I opened it, it always force closes when it tries to load the "by date" list in the "list of questions" section. The "by potsize" list usually works though that sometimes crashes too, in addition to all that the app seems to sometimes crash at completely random times.
In running the app on the LG Optimus 2x Phone, running CM7 Nightly build 21.
ps: on the registration part of the app, you only ask for the password once, its pretty common to ask for the password twice to avoid people mistyping the password, this does't really bother me that much but when you are typing on the android virtual keyboard it pretty easy to mistype something and not notice it, before you try to login to your app account.
ps2: If you don't mind me asking, I'm a bit curious about how you store account information, do you store the email & password in plain text? or do you hash & salt them? I'm just curious because I don't like to use services that doesn't protect their user data properly.
There was a FC-bug when displaying a question without any tag. Please reinstall with the new version (same url).
I think once there are a wider range of questions it will be better (I know thatis on us, the users) .
I am also interested in knowing how my information is being stored.

oh and btw, not to be rude or anything but it would be nice if you could actually give us some kinda response to the feedback we have given you instead of just completely ignoring it.
Hey everybody,
it has been two busy days for me, unfortunately not two busy Android days... I really thank you for you feedback so far and i am excitingly reading through the notification mails as they arrive. I just didn't have the time to answer or even code on the project.
@mikael, is this really the level you want continue this conversation? I do also have a reallife besides Android, sorry. Did you ever try to get one of your cars throught german TÜV? Then you know what is was doing the past two days...
I'll get back to you guys tomorrow and answer all the questions

sorry, as I said it was not meant as an insult, I do understand that you probably have other non android related stuff to do, It just that when you posted a post after I posted my feedback without responding at all, it seemed like you were intentionally ignoring my feedback, but if thats not he case then sorry I misunderstood you, I'm usually a pretty nice guy so please don't get the wrong idea, I have nothing against you or anything like that.
Ok guys, here we go
Sorry that i weren't able to respond in the past two days, you already know why It was hard to find the time to fix that annoying FC bug when opening the questions list but i thought that was more important at that time then responding here since it renders the app useless.

The password is hashed on your phone so that it never get's transmitted over the network in plain text and i can't see your plaintext password either. The email is stored as plaintext so that i can send you a mail if anything important is going on (like yesterdays mail about that critical bugfix). The backend of the app is hosted on GoogleAppEngine by the way. Feel free to suggest any other strategies on storing or transmitting values. The values that are stored for a user are: your activation token, an active flag, answer count, question count, key of your avatar in the gae blogstore, mail, nickname, pass (hash), and your QZRs.
It allowed 0 QZR for a bid.

And a question from my side:
I have also implement a function for sending mass in-app notifications (appear on your notification screen in the app). Which way to be informed about critical updates do you prefer? mail or in-app notification. In one of the next versions i will add an optional background service that shows incoming notification on the phone's notification bar, too.

as for the admob thing I'm guessing what todayist meant was that when the ad placeholder was displayed in the the top of your app it was wider than the app itself which allowed you to scroll within the admob object, but this only seems to happens with the placeholder ad, real ads seems to work as they should.
as for the notification thing I don't mind getting them by email, but there are a lot of people that probably do mind that, so if I were you I'd implement some preference thing that allowed a user to choose between email notifications and in app notifications.
I also have a couple of questions/feature requests:
first of all I think it would be nice it the person that has created a question would be able to actually see what people have answered on the question, that would be useful information to see whether or not the question was to hard or too easy.
in addition I'm wondering how you are going to stop people from screwing around with the questions, because as it is right now, you rely on the people creating questions to actually include and choose the right answer, somebody could easily screw people by simply choosing the wrong answer as the right answer, doing that could probably also be used cheat.
I also think that when a question is closed the users that answered on that question should be able to see what the right answer was, maybe you could even add a "report wrong answer" button that, if enough people pressed it would make a mod check whether the answer was actually correct, and if it wan't the people answering on the question should be refunded the game money that they bet on the question.
I know that would probably be a bit complicated but it would decrease the problem of people cheating by choosing the wrong answer as the right answer.
in addition to all that I have a question, its pretty obvious that acquiring QZRs is pretty important in this game (you even plan to allow people to buy QZRs using paypal and in-app purchase) but my question is, what is the point of the QZRs right now they can only be used to place bets, do you plan on adding some kind of store or reward stuff that can only be bught/unlocked by using QZR?

I do actually have some feedback about beta2 as well, primarily its seems like a good update, but there are still some things that bother me, first of all, after the beta2 update one of my questions seems to have become corrupted somehow.
The question I'm referring to is the "is the official name of android 3.1 icecream sandwich" question that I created under the user name mikael. The question has 2 answers, "True" and "False", but after the beta2 update my question now has 3 answers according to the pi-chart, the new option that suddenly appeared was "" in other word an empty string, currently 1 person has answered True, one has answered False, and 6 has answered "", which confused me since "" is not actually something you can select when you answer the question.
But I figured that out when I tried to close the answer, if I try to close the answer while the False otpion is selected the confirmation dialgue asks if I want to select "null" as the correct answer, the same happens if I try to select True as an answer, in other words both the true and the false answer point to the null string, which means that If anyone anwered the question after this bug occured their answer would be registered as null, instead of the option they actually selected, which expalins why 6 people apperantly answered "null". I have no idea what caused that bug, but I'm guessing its a database issue of some kind, so it something you will have to take a look at.
other than that I have another complaint, and I know that this is intentional but I think that allowing questions to stay live infinitely until they are closed is a bad idea, primarily because a lot of the questions seems to have been abandoned completely which means that everybody that answered on those questions basically just threw their game money away.
I think there should some time limit to when you have to close your question, something like 1 week or perhaps one month if you think that one week is too short. I have currently answered 7 questions on your app but only 2 of them has been closed, the other questions seem to have been abandoned by the question creator.
other than that though the app seems pretty good, I really appreciate the hard work you are putting into this app and I hope I don't put too much work on your shoulders with all of my complaints, questions and feature requests.

Yeah that really is a big problem that is bothering me for days now. beta3 (which will be released today) introduces the 3 other limit types (days, date, answers). Those will be fine and exactly what you are explaining. I am unsure if i should keep the unlimited option in the app. Do you think it would be a good idea to remove it completely?
other than that though the app seems pretty good, I really appreciate the hard work you are putting into this app and I hope I don't put too much work on your shoulders with all of my complaints, questions and feature requests.

Yesterday i was thinking about how to make the release to the market. I want the beta testers to have a bonus for their work and help. So this is what i have come up with for a possible release to the android market:
Reset all beta tester accounts
Give all beta tester accounts 50 bonus QZRs
Remove all answers from all questions
Keep the questions so that there are some initial release questions
Make those questions owned by my account so that abandoned questions won't be a problem.
Do you have any suggestions to this?

Yesterday i was thinking about how to make the release to the market. I want the beta testers to have a bonus for their work and help. So this is what i have come up with for a possible release to the android market:
Reset all beta tester accounts
Give all beta tester accounts 50 bonus QZRs
Remove all answers from all questions
Keep the questions so that there are some initial release questions

sounds pretty good to me, but if you are expecting a lot of new users and questions after making the app available on the market then wouldn't it be a good idea to get some extra moderators to moderate the questions? Maybe you should pick some of the beta testers to be mods. thats your choice though, other than that I can't think of anything else to do before you put the app on the market.
oh and btw I am still receiving "null" answers on some of my questions which probably means that there are still someone who use the old app, would it be possible to somehow block "null" answers on the server side, so that so that people who still use the old version would not be able to submit answers without updating the app.

I wouldn't mind helping you I have plenty of free time and as you have probably noticed I'm a pretty tech-savy guy, so I think I would be a pretty good moderator.
