Hi guys,
I would like some feedback of my first App on android. It's free and it doesn't have any ads, which means that basically I'm making no money with it
I wanted to know the bugs first and receive some feedback before going any further. I don't own many mobile phones at the moment and all I got is some friends (nexus one) and an emulator to try this app.
My questions are:
- Could you please try this app. and give me some constructive feedback?
- If you like the app, could you rate it on android market, please?
(thank you in advance!)
Description:
Check more than 150 CCTV cameras around London.
Whether you are a tourist or a Londoner you can use this simple but effective application to "auto-detect" some of the nearest CCTV cameras around you.
You can also find some cameras (in London) by typing the street name.
(This software is not endorsed, affiliated or owned by TfL)
Screenshots:

(I've been reading the forum for a while but this is my first post, I think)
Thank you.
Edit:
New in 0.4b:
- some bug fixes
- backwards compatibility
(I was forced to change the layout, I'm wondering whether it still works on 2.2 as it used to. Hope so!. Thank you for testing this app!)
Force Closed for me on froyo N1. Seems well thought out, and maybe it'll work better on 2.1 >
I personally have no practical use for this, not living in London, but as the description says, it might be useful for tourists and residents etc.
Hopefully other people might be able to get it to work successfully on other versions of android.
Keep up the work - nice to see new devs who don't just make spam apps.
Thank you very much for your feedback. It's very helpful. I had the chance to try the app on a google nexus one (so far 2.1 and 2.2 only).
I think I should probably put some restrictions on my sdkversion (I'm gonna read a bit more about that but if someone want to share some hints regarding that matter I'm all ears!)
Once again, THANK YOU!
EDIT: have you got the chance to see any screen before the "force close"?
have you been using 3G when this happened? (Thanks)
Works good dude...i just don't know any street names in London - lol
I saw Cambridge from your screenshot...it worked awesome
Running Nexus One CM6 Froyo 91
@bong_sniffer Thank you for your feedback. This is the first comment I've got from someone I don't know in person saying that it works. Cheers mate!
@grandmasterethel I've found the problem (I think). It's because I was using something available just in 2.2. ("street view" button). I'm gonna try to fix that for "backwards compatibility".
Now that you mention it, yes I was on 3G. It loaded the main menu just fine, and then it found the nearest camera to me (not even close because I don't live in london, but I imagine it is the closest really) but the when I pressed the button to get the camera view, it crashed.
fc on froyo over wifi
@ermacwins, @grandmasterethel, sorry to bother again but, I wanted to ask if please, when you got the chance, could you possibly try again the new version 0.4b and tell me how it goes?
does it work? does it cause the FC at the same point?
Once again, thank you for your feeback!
still fc on stock 2.2
Have it running on FRF91 build FroYo fine. Not that keen on the UI though. Button alignment and graphics are a bit off.
Not an issue though as it's a beta and it's free. Really handy application though.
Looking forward to the next build. Keep the good ideas rollin'.
@markouk thank you for your feedback. I wanted to ask you, can you use the UI or is it seriously messed up?. Sorry about that, I had to change the UI after changing the sdkversion and, for some reason -all of a sudden- the UI just changed. I'll be working on that. The UI is not going to be "amazing" but at least I hope to have everything organised.
@UmarKhan Thank you for your report. Finally, I managed to get FC while testing in a place with poor GPS reception. To some extent, I'm happy it happened to me, because I can finally understand what's happening, so, I'll be working on that issue!
Thank you all for trying the app, I'll be trying to solve those bugs.
Just gave it another try. Works perfectly on FRF91. Congratulations.
Sorry for the delay by the way, was AFK for a few days.
@grandmasterethel thank you for your feedback. I found another bug when there's poor GPS reception but I'm working on it (as well as the UI). If you find another FC, please, let me know.

Hi Guys,
I’m looking for a good tide prediction app to use on my HD2 when I’m out fishing. I’ve had a play with ctide but it doesn’t get on with the HD2 very well. It works but the screen layout is a bit screwed up.
Please google ctide for info. I tried to post a link to the site but the forum rules won't let me!
What I'd ideally like is somebody much smarter than me to tweak the code to work on the HD2 (and rotate when i move the HD2) or take the xtide reference data that ctide uses and write their own wonder app.
I hope somebody fancies this challenge and gives it a go. I'll happily test and report back on any apps people come up with.
Thanks guys!
Hi,
i don't know, if it fits your needs, but have a look at http://iphone.magicseaweed.com in opera mobile. you need an internet connection, because it is a website, but you can see worldwide swell charts, period charts, wind charts and city based forecasts on a day-by-day base including the tide.
greetings,
malte

I'd like to have an application like that as well - also for fishing

Same here. I miss the TideApp on my G1. I hope cTide isn't all there is to offer. I really need a tide app for fishing as well. I hate looking through the book and calculating.
Add me to the request list. And my request is for more than just fishing. I'm a Hydrographic Surveyor and need to know what the tides are doing on a daily basis.
Do you have any idea how embarrassing it is that my wife has a Tide Prediction on her Iphone and there's nothing for WinMo?!?!?
There's even one for Android now??

Someone with porting cababilities....PLEASE HELP?!?!?!?!

interested too, for surfing )
Me too for fishing
If anyone hasn't updated their MiniInfo widget yet and still has the old version 1.2.3 I would be very greatful if you can link it or send it to me. The new version has many features which I need like I need another hole in my head and it definitely eats more battery. Also, the little "Click widget for info" line really tests my patience based simply on it assuming I don't know how a f***ing widget works! Thanks, all.
This might work, not from my phone, just found it somewhere...
http://rapidshare.com/files/415360803/Mini_Info_1.2.3.apk
Haven't noticed it eating more battery but I definitely think it's way more than it needs to be now. Probably had requests for more crap in the widget, same reason why we have cell phones that are cameras, camcorders, mp3 players, watches, daytimers, computers, notepads, and even phones! all in one. What ever happened to KISS (keep it simple, stupid!)?
philosuffer, that worked perfectly! Thank you very much. I did more than a few google searches for the 1.2.3 version but came up empty. I appreciate the contribution, sir. -E
Wow. I emailed the creators of Mini Info just before posting my thread to ask for a DL link to the previous version and explaining why I would request such a thing, and in what I can only describe as ridiculous dedication and a pristine example of expedience, I just got an email back with the previous version's .apk attached. Awesome.
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.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.ussd.widget.lite
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.
Screens:
i got it but don't know the USSD code for orange uk. Can anyone shed some light here?
I think google is probably your friend there...
App is now in Top New Paid on the market
This is AWESOME! Thanks a lot, ive been using an inferior widget for years!
nice widget ，thank you for sharing
Enjoy! And please leave a comment on the market - it can be a great help!
Ok, after testing i will leave a comment
This app is the best by miles
Thank you!
Works perfectly fine with 2 degrees over here in NZ. Best buck ever spent.
Thanks!
Thanks, please leave a review on the market!
By the way, a major update is currently in testing with lots of cool UI changes.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
Brilliant!
Check the main thread for screens of the new ui!
Guys its critical that i get some device-specific feedback for version 1.1.2 that came out today.
Please, be nice XDA members and help!
Please help me debug the latest version! I need some feedback on updates in particular!
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!
I use the free version, and I am having problems with it since the update. I tap to update the widget (or press update in the app) and it seems to get stuck updating. The spinning icon animation appears and doesn't stop or go away for ages, seems like its been spinning for half the day now. Several USSD code running and done messages popup seemingly at random once updating begins.
The update has not gone well for me it seems on my Desire S with stock rom.
I'm going clear out my old ussd entries and widgets and start again, see if that helps.
**Update** cleared out my ussds and widgets and reinstalled the app. seems to be working properly now. Looks like a few ppl have had this issue judging by the market comments and doing a clean install seems to prevent them.
Guys ive already made a bugfix, but there is some sort of problem with the markets dashboard, cant seem to be able to publish anything right now! Please check tomorrow morning!
If you're experiencing WiFi drop problems, may I suggest you have a look at application: "FXR WiFi fix and rescue", available on Play Store and free, no root required btw. It solved my problem at least.
Hi there,
as a new user on XDA-Developers I am not allowed to post in the development forums (yet)! Grrrr!
Anyway I would like to share interesting discovery about an application that has been able to fix (for me at least) the WiFi problem that's quite extensively discussed on the "Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development" thread, started by all-glorious-and-deserving BroodROM author: Broodplank1337.
As many users on that thread I've been experiencing the problem about WiFi connection lasting a few seconds to a few minutes, and then dropping. The only cure to this problem was to deactivate WiFi, then reactivate it. I sometimes had to retry up to 2-3 times for the WiFi connection to work again, but only for a few dozens of seconds / few minutes.
-> the application that fixed my problem is "FXR WiFi fix and rescue". I tried a few other but only that one solved the problem for me. I was surprised that it didn't even request root access rights...
On the aforementioned forum I could find several other fixes made by Broodplank and others, involving reflashing of Kernel and/or modem firmware. I didn't want to start flashing the Kernel again on the cellphone as some users had reported failure and I didn't want to risk bricking the phone.
Hope this info is useful and gets found by some people (I wished I could post it as a reply to the aforementioned thread, would have allowed a more concise answer, grrrr).
Hey,
Thank you very much for pointing out this app, If it really helps I will definitely add it to RC5. of course I'm very curious what the app does since it doesn't even need root access.
Tested the app and It seems to really fix the reception! I have 2 bars now on the 2nd floor and normally i would have 0 bars! (so it keeps disconnecting all the time)
Thank you very much!
Great!
Great!
You know what, if it was 8 years ago I would be like you, releasing custom ROMs etc or doing similar stuff. However in the meantime came wife and children... I don't have no time at all for hacking at home anymore!
On the professional side I'm doing similar job, only that it's not on smartphones (it's in digital TV market). I have good embedded Linux experience including bootloader stuff etc, but rather poor Android-specific knowledge (at the moment).
So there you have it: your devoted new user cyclistefou is an experienced professional embedded Linux hacker, thankful and admirative for your efforts on broodrom, wishing to help and certainly able to regarding knowledge, but having almost NO time at all. Today I'm doing a special effort to contact you as you deserve it with so much work in BroodROM.
-> in summary, please remember me, as a guy who has no time in general but still wishing to support and help... when I get post access to dev forums it will be easier for me to post useful info when I have it...
Thanks for your efforts. Too bad the SGS+ device HW is good but IMHO the SW is terrible. If there was not BroodROM I would be back to my trusty HTC Desire in no time!
Wifi disconnection issue solution.!!
i khow this problem. Thats the bug in the new firmware. But there is a solution. In your wifi router there is lan setting option where ull find Lease Time. Set it to two weeks. Lease was set to "forever" actually, I changed it to one day, rebooted both and now it seems to work fine, I've tried downloading bigger files and playing some games online, it didn't drop at all! I twill not disconnect again.
Thanks for your answers, hopefully it'll stay like this...
Hi,
I'm Tim and we developed an Android app and started a startup in Germany. However, the app is free. Therefore, I hope that posting about the app in this forum to search cyanogenmod users is ok. If not, please delete this post.
I post here, because I, myself, love cynongenmod custom roms and would like to find out more about the compatibility of our app. Therefore, I search people that like to try new apps that report if it works from them. The app is location based and in beta (so not perfect yet) and for my cm10.1 on an Lg P990 and cm on a Galaxy S3 it works. I'd be curious about other phones. Therefore, I thought this forum here is the best place to find like minded people that use cm - Maybe even someone has the onplus one and can test it
We have the app for beta testers open and you can get it on our page STAPPZ com or find us on facebook (STAPPZ)
OK- now i talked so much about what we would like to test - here a brief description:
What is STAPPZ? In short, it is answer to the question: “What is live near me?”
With STAPPZ you participate in an open conversation with pictures and text at your current position. You create and perpetuate your own STAPPZ: Moments, noteworthy facts or any other information that you consider relevant.Nearby fellows (other STAPPZ users) see those STAPPZ and respond to them by posting something themselves or by saving them in their profile.This way, the people joining STAPPZ enrich and weave the world, collaborate and take advantage of the knowledge that others left around them.
However, if you like the app and have some feedback in other directions or you want more info or to blog about it, please let us know.
We'd be so glad to get feedback if it runs on your cm devices.
Kind regards
Tim
