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.

Reserved for something?
nice, works fine on my liquid )
does this check data usage for how many GB's you use in a month (for those like me that use over 5 GB a month. lol )
Yes, all you need is the right USSD command for your operator... just look for it online and add it in the app!
ill download this later
this is what I've been loking for!
will install when my HD2 finished being repaired..
Please don't forget to post your USSD commands!
AT&T
*MIN# (*646#) for minute usage.
*BAL# (*225#) for current billing balance.
*DATA# (*3282#) for data and messaging use.
*PAY to make a payment over the phone.
The app doesn't respond to the returned tests (streak 5). I added (104) to handcent's black list so it didn't pop up and the text is in the messaging inbox, but this app only shows"There is no predefined indicators"
I'm not sue I entirely understand. Could you please reiterate exactly what you set as the dial code, what message was returned and what have handsent and blacklists to do with it?
Thanks for the codes though, ill post them in the library thread

We didn't steal anything.
There have been similar apps for years, including on other platforms. What makes Balanced different is that its better - we have better widgets, better functionality and better support.
Perhaps you should write the people who made pandas vs ninjas and tell them how appauled you are at competitive markets... oh wait, you are the competition!
@ftgg99 this app looks great, i'll give it a try and give you my feedback. Thanks
This looks interesting, does anyone know any ussd codes for Cricket?
Sorry for my English. translate.google.com ... Motorola XT502, Android 2.3.3, does not work. Continuously requires reboot.
Hey how do i add an indicator for a USSD code? I have ATT. when i added the USSD i received texts back and that was it. In the app it says that the codes dont have any indicators. am i missing something?
Using Atrix
similar to ussd cheker

How many times do I need to repeat myself? Balanced is not a copy of USSD Checker. The fact that android's list view is exactly the same in all applications doesn't mean we stole anything from you.
Balanced is similar, but better. This is the last time I respond to either your or your alter egos posts, please be so kind and complain directly to a mod or open another thread.
ftgg99, how to setup it on MTS-Moscow?

Tired of taking notes manually? This app makes life easier for you!
Set some keywords, and AutoNotes will automatically take text notes of interested information from your clipboard, typed sentences and things that appear on your screen!
E.g. Set "appointment" as a keyword, when "appointment" appears in a Gmail, the Email content will be saved into a note.
Due to Android's limitation, AutoNotes cannot process everything that ever appears on your screen. So please copy very important information into clipboard in order to make sure that AutoNotes has saved it for you.
This is my second Android app, your suggestions and feedbacks are very appreciated
Changelog
========
2.0
- Regular expression support
- Option to be notified when a note is created
- Minor performance improvements
3.0
- Ability to export notes to SD card
- Ability to search past notes by regex or keyword
- Settings are now saved upon app restart
- Minor user interface improvements
This is a fantastic idea. I had no clue this was possible without root. Nice work.
Oh, and look what we have here...
pretty nice app, thanks a lot
Gonna give this a try
This is a free app... why don't allow it to "sell" in China? Its bad enough that all us China Android fans can only get apps on dodgy alernative markets even if we have valid credit cards and/or paypal. But this is a free app. Please make it available world wide. Limiting market availability does not prevent piracy... it encourages it.

The app is on its first release. I can only speak English and Chinese and I know the way AutoNotes identifies and counting words does not apply to Chinese language. Better support for the languages other than English is a WIP feature.

No problem. I have enabled the app in all countries.
Here I also attached the APK file if you would like to install it straight away.
I already rated AutoNotes on the market, but I figured to make my suggestions (sent to Guo in PM) public here for review:
Question: are keywords searched for regarding case or case insensitively?
I'd like to have two options next to each keyword: "case insensitive" and "pattern", maybe off by default. The "pattern" knob should interpret a keyword as a regular expression or perhaps as a glob pattern like in Unix filenames.
Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830
Just one other thing: keywords should also have a "negate" or "not" flag: if keywords with such a flag are encountered, AutoNotes should ignore the text. In case one needs to email passwords or other credentials. While such an email would be sent encrypted (of course!), AutoNotes sees the cleartext, so this is kinda important ...
Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830
Got another one: every note has the valuable button "copy to clipboard". When I use it, the note goes to the clipboard, but then I need to use the back button several times to exit Autonotes.
How about a configuration option "exit after clipboard copy" that will immediately exit Autonotes and thereby return to the app where I want to paste the note?

Thanks houzuoguo! I already got it from market. The regular expressions are a good idea. I hope you stay with this project.
I love this app. It solves my biggest frustration with Android. This app is absolutely effective.
I want to export all the notes although TB does restore everything. I can't find the data file...although I haven't really put an all out effort to find it... are the notes encrypted or in a basic text file?
EDIT -- found it. data/data/net.houzuo.android.autonotes/autonotes.db
and then squlited my way into a text doc.

Thank you for your feedback. I don't have any problems on my 4.1 Galaxy Nexus.
The good news: I also have that issue when running the app in an 4.0.x emulator
The bad news: I don't know, what's wrong there
I'll do some research on that and post here if I can adress the issue!

I have a few requests for your app.
First, I want to edit something I have created. Errors happen, and have to write it again is tedious.
Second, a resume of how much you have. If you got 20 dollars, it would say a 20 down there. If you add a 5 dollars expense, it would show 15 down there.
Third, It would be nice if you could separate the incomes and expenses in categories created by user. For example, I have R$ 27,90 to spend on calls for carries except mine (for my carrier is free of charge). Then I could create a category called: Phone. I would set this 27,90 and, using the last mentioned feature, I would have a control of how much I still can call. Another category would be for SMS + Data usage. It costs for me R$ 0,50 for each day you use each, and I have a R$ 10 limit per month. Then I would have a third category. I would like to keep control on how much i spend at my school to eat.
I think it's pretty good, the explanation, but if you need something else tp understand, let me know.
What could be nice is a use of barcode scaner, you scan some product and you put a price, then every time you scan it, you will have an expense of it
I don't know if i have explained well ...
Another feature that could be great is to have diferents accounts One for register the bank movements and another to our home money xP

1. yes, definitely essential
2. I also had that idea, maybe the app can display a notification if you've exceeded your limit
3. I think this is very special...maybe later

1. sounds like an idea, but the problem is the information gathering, what you really paid for the product, because it won't be the same amount in every store, you know?
2. This is already a bit implemented, when adding an entry you can choose wether it's cash or credit card for example
Ok thanks, sounds great, hmm ohh but it can ask you if the prize is correct no? For example, you go to the shop, for buy, the first time you scan everithin you buy with the prize and the next time you go, if you scan the chips, the cocacola..., the app suggest you to put it as expenses
Like if the app reemember recurring expenditures from the past
I just re-downloaded it, and it looks great. I love the style and how it feels, but I do have some suggestions for you, if you get to develop it more.
1) Have accounts - I would love to be able to put my different bank accounts, gift cards, etc. on this, and track how much money I have left in each. Make it so I can put a starting amount on each account, and then subtract from there. Also to make special note of: transferring money between accounts. This was something I ran into with my project a while back.
2) Receipts - It has always been a goal of mine to be a better record keeper. As such, I would love to be able to take pictures of receipts and either upload them to a service for cloud storage or have them linked to from my SD card. This way I can back them up to my computer at home every once in a while and make sure I have everything when tax time comes.
3) While I'm at it, making it so that two users can share the same account... that would be amazing. Joint checking accounts are awesome for couples, but not if they don't both know what's going on.
4) Backups - I don't want to college months of data simply to have it wiped out if my phone goes south. Allow me to backup to my SD card, or, better yet, sending the data in an email so it can be backed up on any computer I have access from.
5) Statistics - We can track our money, and where it goes, but unless we can analyze our spending patterns, we can't see where we need to go in the future. Having graphs and charts would make this really nice to have. You already have the categories all set up, so getting the statistics (and statistics per account) setup shouldn't be too much more.
I have been trying to develop a reliable solution like this using PHP, MySQL, and jQuery for about a year now. The sad part is that I can't interact with the phone's camera like I want to, to allow me to capture receipts. I guess what I'm saying is, I'd love to help you out on the back-end stuff if you ever need it. I'd love to get this kind of project up and running, as I think it can help a lot of people in a lot of ways. Oh, and have you thought about uploading this to Google Play? Are there any limitations holding you back from doing that? I admire what you're doing, and think it's great that you are putting your talents to such a great use. We all need to be more financially savvy, and this is a great tool to help that.
Thank you for your hard work.

Hi m.ark,
thank you for your nice feedback!
Except your thrid point I think everything would be implementable - I also updated the "features-to-come" in first post (thanks to all the others for the great ideas!!)
Your third point is very hard to implement, but I keep an eye on that topic!
A vision is, that one is able to completely manage that stuff via a web interface, if the data is uploaded to google drive for example. Maybe in a late state we can think about collaborating on this thing?!
Regarding the Google Play thing: At the moment I'm not willing to spend the 20$ for the developer license if the app has not even a minimum of possible features implemented - a long-term-goal is definitely publishing this app to Play Store.
BETA 3
Just released and uploaded BETA3 - check the changelog and have fun
Beta 3 looks good, and runs smooth. I love the backup and restore option. It will be a real saver.
One thing I noticed: if you are at the home page, the only drop down from the menu is for backup and restore, but if you are in the backup and restore tool, the drop down menu lists only "Settings" but doesn't do anything. Just a small bug. Maybe have it go back home since there's no way to do that right now other than hitting back?
Once again, thank you for the awesome app. Keep us up to date on how you're doing, it'd be fun to see the progress you're making. Don't make it a chore, though, that's for sure.
How do you change the currency for this?

Blue Hunter (Android)
Hello and welcome to the development thread.
Here you can get an imagination of this project.
Introduction / Description
As you might know, Blue Hunter will be the follow-up of the Scan Most Bluetooth Devices game. The reasons for the complete restart of the same intent are those:
- Scan Most Bluetooth Devices was started up in 2010. At this time I had nothing to do with Java. I was a complete newbie. Therefore the code for the complete base was, to put it simply, ****. But I built on this base further and further. After some time I realized, that this can't be rescued anymore.
- The complete intern handling of things wasn't that, what I imagined.
- Some new features I wanted to get implemented were really not fitting into the game structure.
- And of course I wanted to do some new.
For those of you, who didn't know about Scan Most Bluetooth Devices, here is a short description of that, what the game should look like in the future.
Blue Hunter is a level-up game, in which you have to search for Bluetooth devices in range. Each unique device, that you'll find will give you some EXP. While gaining more an more EXP, you will, of couse, get into the next level. For each level-up you will unlock specific small game features, that will make it more comfortable to play. That's not all. You will have the chance to decide, if you also want to play against the others, who play this game, too. For that there will be the Leaderboard. Later you will also be able to add friends, make a player vs. player game, establish your own clan, etc. Achievements will also be integrated.
Changelog
Check out the changelog for a more descriptive view of the changes made.
Screenshots
Permissions
This game uses some Android Permissions. Here I want to explain, for what these Permissions are used:
- android.permission.BLUETOOTH - Is used to receive the state of Bluetooth and to start the discovery of Bluetooth devices.
- android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN - Is used to turn Bluetooth on, when necessary.
- android.permission.INTERNET - Is used to connect to the internet, to get the game synchronized with the game servers.
- android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE - Is used to determinate internet connectivity change.
- android.permission.VIBRATE - Is used to notify the user about a new found device by vibration.
- android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE - Is only used for debug purposes.
- android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED - Used for the Update Service, which runs in the background and checks if there is a new update.
- android.permission.WAKE_LOCK - This is also for the Update Service.
Compatibility
As this game is still in a very early development stage (pre-beta), this game can only be installed on devices with Android ICS (4.*) and above.
Translations
Like in Scan Most Bluetooth Devices I depend on the community for getting translations.
At this point I want to ask you, if you think you can translate the game into your language. If this is the case I really would like to send you to the strings.xml file. There you'll find all strings, that can be translated. Later I will integrate a small platform for translators, which will make them lifes easier. Much easier ! But also this takes time.
Included Translations:
- English
- Dutch (Marc.)
- Czech (Scorpio-cz)

Privacy
Here I want to explain to you, what private information located on your device and got from other devices through Bluetooth is used by this game. This list contains and explains ALL gathered information from the game, you might worry about.
- Serial Number (S/N) - The game uses the serial number of your device, to determinate the installation of the game and to identify the unique game installation. The purpose of the use is, if you reset your Android to factory and after that install the game, it can automatically drag over the application data from the server, without user interaction.
This information is sent to the game server and stored in a database.
- Version Code - This is the internal version code of the game. It is used to check, if a new nightly version is available.
This information is sent to the game server and stored in a database.
- User Name - This is the name you use for the game. It is used to give you personalization possibilities. It's also showed in the leaderboard.
This information is sent to the game server and stored in a database.
- Remote MAC Address - This is the MAC Address of devices which you will found. It is used to determinate the manufacturer of the device and to give you specific expierence values for each manufacturer. (Some devices are more rare than others.)
This information is ONLY sent to the game server, when you are syncing your data with the game server.
- Remote Device RSSI - This is the Received Signal Strength Indication. This is used to display as information to you.
This information is ONLY sent to the game server, when you are syncing your data with the game server.
- Remote Device Name - This is the name of the remote Bluetooth device. This is used to display as information to you.
This information is ONLY sent to the game server, when you are syncing your data with the game server.
- Local Time - This is the time, that is saved, when you find a new device. This is used to display as information to you.
This information is ONLY sent to the game server, when you are syncing your data with the game server.
Note: All the information gathered by the game from your device or other devices is not associated with any other data or information. It will not be used for ad personalization or other things. It is not given to 3rd party companies or persons. This information is private and is only gathered to guarantee an optimal game experience. Your information is used to create statistics for the game itself.

Not sure that mapping people Bluetooth names on phones is a good idea even if its just a game. Seems to similar to what Google did with WiFi.

I can understand, that many people like you think very sceptical when it comes to terms of privacy and use of private information by third parties in an application, that can collect a mass of information. I'm aware of the current mindset of people and therefore privacy is a big term I'm mindful of.
That's why I've written the privacy section in the first post that extensive. Of course the list in this section will be updated, if new information is used in the current available nightly.
And that with Google & WiFi. If a big company had the information based on the Bluetooth devices, what would it be useful for ? I mean a Bluetooth device is in very most cases, unlike WiFi hotspots, in a continually movement. The only information, that a Bluetooth device automatically can offer passively and when it is in it's discoverable state is it's mac address, the specific name the user has set, the signal strength(RSSI) and the UUIDs (what this Bluetooth device offers for features). A combination of this information would be mostly useless for a company, even if it is connected with the specific location. The only case in which it could be "useful" would be to connect each different locations, when finding this specific device. But this thought is far-fetched and would be in a very huge conflict with my privacy perception. It would never be implemented in the game. And now to refer to the privacy section, I won't make any information public. The intent of this game is to level up by finding devices, not to gather information.
I hope this gave you a short explanation of my perception on this.
Greetings !
Sorry, about the double post.
In the newest nightly there is the possibility to get informed, whether a new nightly is already available. In addition to that, you can decide, whether the game checks this at start or not.
Because of this, there is one new thing in the privacy list. It's the 'Version Code'. For further information please read the first post. Thank you !
The next thing, that will be integrated is the "core". It's the complete Bluetooth device discovery. Eventually without saving, just discovery. We'll see.
Greetings !
As the game makes good progress and heads for the 0.2 alpha, I updated the Privacy list recently. The core functions are now implemented and I think now I need some volunteers to test the whole thing.
Here some screenshots:
In the third screenshot you can see, that the manufacturer of the devices are recognized based on the mac address.
My please to you is:
Can you report any devices that are declared as Unknown and you know the manufacturer ? That would be very helpful, because then I can set a specific experience-value for these manufacturers. Thanks alot !
Have fun hunting !
You just replied when I wanted to say some things about this game
First of all, it's coming pretty good again, but there are a few things missing ( What makes it nicer for me )
- A automatic update, for example you get a notification of a update is available. Press the notification to update to the newest nightly.
- A vibrate function when a device is found.
- The ranking board.
- The time you find a device added at the place of a discovery ( just add a rule ).
- An ongoing notification so you know it's running in the background.
I tested it today a lot and I think the features I said should be implented.
Bugs:
- When you open the game and press no for bleutooth then do the slider to ON and say again no for bluetooth the slider will stay at ON and it should be at OFF.
- The menu button ( the 3 dots ) is from the slider to the end of the screen clickable. Maybe this should only be a square at the right side of the screen?
- Animations are slow ( Even on a Galaxy Nexus with 4.1 ), they stutter, I mean the user Information. And also when you go into settings and touch information for example.
- If you go to found devices and touch the search button the settings button and the X of the search field are on top of each other.
And on what is the amount of XP based?
Also 2 MAC adresses with manufactures:
40:2C:F4 HP (laptop)
70:F1:A1 Dell Wireless 370 Bluetooth Mini-card
I think you don't need any more numbers of the mac adresses?
Thanks for giving a update on this.
Can we carry over scores from Scan Most Bluetooth Devices?
@Bunglechunk:
Yes, there will be an import function to use, so you can carry over your score.
As I'm not able to use my own workstation, you won't receive any updates, like some of you may noticed. But that doesn't mean, that there wasn't any progress. I could add some more features and now I'm working on some help pages for users, that may not know some features. You will receive a nightly update as fast as possible.
Greetings!
After long time of silence in this thread, I want to notify you few users of Blue Hunter, that I've updated the first post, especially the Privacy section. This applies to all new nightly versions, that are currently out there.
For more information on the changes, please be sure to look into the changelog.
As for general I can say, the development goes and goes. It feels much more professional as it was when developing for Scan Most Bluetooth devices (which interestingly got much downloads in the past from Google Play).
Also I appreciate if you would take the time to use the Bug Tracking System to report your bugs, you noticied.
Thank you for your support!
Greetings!
Re: [GAME] Blue Hunter [IN_DEV][0.2PRE_ALPHA]
If you send the strings that need to be translated please do... I didn't know that my translation was outdated... And the auto-check for updates doesn't work anymore, thanks for developing again
Edit: I had instant FC's so I set my pass, and did the 'rebuild local database', I think I backed up my score by logging in, now my score is gone :'( Is it possible to retrieve my score? Because I did login.
Hey Guys,
I wanted to notify you, that Blue Hunter has reached Alpha state. Until now there is a support version available on the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maksl5.bl_hunt_sup.
This will help, keep me motivated to make something really great out of this project, so be sure to check it out.
Blue Hunter now has achievements, which will let you get a permanent boost of EXP, when finding a new device. Also here be sure to check that out! I updated the first post on this thread. There you can find the information.
Now I will focus on the social aspects of the game. Like I said, I want, that you can make 1vs1 games against other players in a specific time period. This also applies to clans, that you can lead or enter. You will have the chance to get friends and write them messages or to boast with your statistics. This is where I wanna have this game and I will concentrate on that for now.
Until this, I really have to ask that stupid question again. Do you have time to translate? Write me a PM. I'm very thankful for that.
Greetings, have a nice day!
Thanks for updating the app again! It's fun to play it now because you can achieve something. For the translation, please send the untranslated strings by PM to me

Hey MaksI5!
Nice that you are still on this project!
I can do the translation into Swedish and proof read English if needed (I will look into it). How do you want the translation? Just plain translation by editing the strings.xml file on Github? How do you want me to handle Swedish letters å,ä,ö?
@Marc. & NRK77:
Thank you for the time! You can find it here: https://github.com/Maksl5/blue-hunter/blob/master/res/values/strings.xml. Again this file is mostly updated with new strings on each version increment. You just have to send me the translated strings back via PM here or mail, what you like most. Specific characters are no problem. You can use them in your translation. I will check it and then handle it, like Android needs.
Thank you again!

No problem at all! I like this game, hope there will be as many players as in SMBD.
I've begun the translation, it will take a week or two to complete.
One error you might look into: I have the automatic check for updates option on. Every time I start the app, it says there's a new version. It says my build is 1143 and 1144 is available. If I download 1144 and install it, the app still tells me the same as before: I currently have 1143 and 1144 is available.
One other problem I'll write in a PM.
Maksi5, are you still around? Ich hoffe dass du nicht in dem deutsche Wald verloren ist.

So guys, after some delay, I'm starting to develop further. Sorry for that, but I had many things to do for a while.
I just could integrate a new small feature. I don't talk about much, 'cause pictures say more then words:
Screenshot (Dropbox)
The whole social aspects thing... I did not touch it. But I will. Be sure.
@Snah:
This is a bug that automatically occurs, when I'm too dumb to compare and check the version numbers of the apk and the actual AndroidManifest.xml. Don't worry about it, it fixes itself in the next nightly.
BTW: What do you think about saving geo coordinates when finding a device to show them on a map at a later time?
Greetings!

It will not be one of the versions that probably go down in history this 3.10.9, which takes the place of the previous 3.9.17, but, no matter how small, the innovations introduced are numerous and we're not sure appreciated them all.
We start from the section recommended for you. Whether it's app or books (advice on music yet they are not), or even if you are on the homepage of the store, blocking the slice with the Google personalized recommendations you'll notice that at the top there is a new voice, "improve these councils, "which allows us to add people you know to find out their tastes and also receive recommendations based on them (or so says the description of the function). Good theory, too bad that the vast majority of contacts proposed were complete strangers from the other side of the world, with which (we checked) we did not even vague contacts on Google+. We look forward to a future refinement.
Then continue with the translations. Some apps now have a button "translate" at their description, which basically will only call into question Google Translate on the fly to change the text in a language more understandable to us. In this case the theory is good, pity we did not understand when and when not to appear: comparing different applications, different languages, some of them had the button translate it and other were completely lacking. Also in this case we are confident in a future refinement.
If these two functions must be short andarsele a little 'to seek, we turn now to a thing you will see rather often. You will all familiar with the installation of new apps: you choose one, went on his page, click on install, accept the permissions and you will be thrown back to the description of the app while the progress bar will indicate the percentage of completion. Not any more. After accepting the permissions, and then return to the description of the app, you have inserted a new page, which you can see an example on the right. The aim is to highlight related app and installed by others, but the match as you know is not always the best, by clicking on "back to shopping" you will still be redirected to the description of the app to start. We did not find a way to disable this feature, which basically requires a tap in to install any new app. Annoying.
And finally we come to the last news, the only one on which we could hardly rely on something: it is now possible to remove items from the wish list by tapping on the icon in that list, without having to open a description of each app. It is the same method used to delete applications from the complete list of all the ones we have ever installed and certainly saves us a few more steps. Nicely done.
After then the description of the new features, I leave you the link to download the Play Store:http://d-h.st/ZZB
Thank you for the hint!
Thanks for letting us now
