Market place is up and running
There's only 17 applications in the German Marketplace. That's a bit disappointing, considering they have been advertising their Marketplace among developers for half a year now.
I hope that it gets better soon.
How many are there in other countries?
There appears to be a good few apps on there - more than 17 as I look at it - maybe over 50 (im in the UK).
very few free apps - maybe 3?
I think I will wait until im sure what the situation will be with apps purchased and lost due to ROM flashing. Do you get to download again for free?
In the Netherlands only 4 apps, Microsoft Tag, My Phone, Facebook and 'De Telegraaf' (a Dutch newspaper). A bit disapointing...
Guys,
How do you get the application for it? I'm still using the stock ROM that came with my HD.
Cheers.
Well it not live until tomorrow so any apps are a bonus till then.
Yes, even 50 apps is disappointing. There's some 20-30000 apps for Windows Mobile out there and they could only get 50 of them into their Marketplace within 7 months?
Well... it's not even official yet, so let's wait a bit and see what happens.
Not working for me. The cab downloaded and installed but when trying to launch it searches for an update and informs me:
"We encountered an error while trying to reach the Windows Marketplace server. Would you like to try again?"
Have they switched it off again?
Mine installs but then it cant connect because it says the servers are unavailable. hmmmmm
It's still working here.
Could all of you please tell us what country you are in? That would help a lot.

My crystalball says otherwise .
The market place is still working for me (UK)
The imortant thing is quality not quantity. Obviously it's only just launching and WM isn't as sexy as it used to be, so it was always going to be a quieter launch than we'd hope for. However, I'd rather see an app store with 5,000 quality apps instead of one with 200,000 where there's 542 different "oh look an animated glass of beer" apps, a quarter of the apps are to cover the same OS deficiencies, with ultimately the same core 5,000 quality apps that are now so much harder to find.
That said, WM desperately needs both quality and quantity of games if it and the app store are going to make any real return to consumer level awareness. At least due to the OS's heritage we have an incredibly strong portfolio of productivity apps.
I had that same initial response but it worked when I tried second time around. Hopefully they are trying to load as many apps as possible.
Might be smart to submit an app.

As per my post header, I'm in the UK on Vodafone.
Not working
UK O2
Touch Pro
Working in Norway
But only 2 apps. Facebook and Microsoft tag reader
Still working in the UK on T-Mobile.
Just installed MS Tag and the install process is pretty slick and pain free and unobtrusive - thought it was going to launch the usual cab installation interface.
One thing though is that it didn't ask where I would like to install to, Memory or SD Card, hmmm.....
EDIT: Tag reader installed to memory - hope this isn't the case for all apps - there should be an option to set install location.
Pardon my ignorance, but how do you install Marketplace on the HD? I am on T-Mobile UK.
Thanks,
Petrov.
Hi
Is there any way to get round the 10 limit on precached maps? I drive around the UK a lot and regularly do 200 - 300+ miles a day but in different directions, I would like to precache the maps but the 10 x 10 square miles simply doesn't cover enough area for me to use it as a navigational device. also I believe the cached gets cleared regularly.
I think you would have to manually scan your main route so the map can access your location info easier.
Sorry that doesn't seem relevant to the question unless I am missunderstanding.
I have created a prototype of maps downloader and was able to download a whole Poland in full details to SD. It takes ~400MB of space. UK is smaller in size, so I should be able to download it as well. Contact me on PM if you're interested.
Take into account you still won't be able to start a navigation when being offline. But navi won't eat so much transfer when driving.

Box giving away 50GB of storage with the new Android app
Just thought I would pass on a sweet deal. Box is now giving a lifetime account with 50GB of storage if you download and register the app from any Android phone. Here's the link to the marketplace:

Expansion of Cloud's memory
I am surprised at the generosity of cloud services. At first, they offered 2 gb with dropbox for free, then box.net and a few others handed out a free 5gb, then eventually one service - i forget the name - gave out 25 gb. Now Box (at box.com) is giving 50 gb of free storage space for free! I would act now, even if you don't need it now, it may be nice to have later. I am surprised that they can afford to give so much memory away. Where do they hook you at?
Box gives lotsa free storage but you have to pay for the desktop client. No Linux support. 100mb limit per upload. And ya gotta wonder how long they'll be around.
Fail.
Dropbox has free software, no file size limit and native Linux support. Financially sound, not going anywhere.

There was(and still is) a "hack" that allowed you to get 50GB for Android phones. I did it accidentally two times, and now I have 100GB's. It is kinda stupid to give 50GB for free, because that means, we have could have basically unlimited bandwidth, and it would cost thousands for that company.

Actually, you don't need the official box client for either windows or linux. You can simply use webdav and connect/mount as if it's a local drive.

Here's the full set of instructions for anyone who needs it.
For XP users:
1. Right click "My Computer"
2. Select "Map Network Drive"
3. Choose a Drive Letter
4. Type "\\www.box.net\dav" without the quotes
5. Box's server ping response time is kind of slow. Wait up to five minutes for the connection to establish.
6. Type your E-Mail for the username and your Password for password
Windows 7/Vista users:
1. Press the Start button
2. Right click Computer and hit "Map Network Drive"
3. Choose a Drive letter
4. Enter: "\\box.net\dav" without quotes in the folder box
5. Box's server ping response time is kind of slow. Wait up to five minutes for the connection to establish.
6. Username is your box email address
7. Password is your box password
EDIT: Be careful when doing this. Box's servers are VERY slow. Occasionally, they will lag so bad that Windows will time out several times on boot trying to connect it. If you boot up to a black screen with only a mouse cursor, reboot into safe mode, disconnect the drive, then reboot normally. I set the drive to connect on demand, since I don't use it for much. Dropbox and InSync are better services.
I have the Box app installed on chrome for free. It works just fine for me.

This should be handy I have DropBox as well I can use just use this to share files and saves etc without worrying about running out
This looks interesting and is really generous, but the link for the app is unavailable?
Edit: Scratch that It's just a bad link.. I got it lol.
I've tried out box, but I dislike the having to pay for a desktop client. I've made the switch to dropbox and enjoying that! The only way I would fill up 50gb is with music and video.
Got my 50gb, then switched back to DropBox after I realized it I wasn't able to transfer at more than ~17kbps with it. Explains why it took 2 days to upload my photo library (1.8gb) and DropBox had it within an hour.
I like box I got the 50gb free purely from owning an xperia phone
Sent from my R800i using xda premium
I took advantage of this just to get my music and pictures off of Dropbox and keep my storage size down there. Now I can get the 50gb plan instead of the 100, saving me $100/yr.
Anyone know why it needs to read your Contact info?

Probably just to share links or the app. If you're concerned then download LBE Privacy and deny it access. If you tell it to prompt when it tries to use your contacts then you'll find out when it needs it.

I see you Drinking that ¥Hateraid¥
got my 50 gigs, haven't actually tried the app yet dropbox is enough for me...still
sounds good. will have to sign up.

Just to let everyone know there is a new cloud storage app that is like Dropbox and Box (without the upload limit like Box has).
As a limited time launch bonus, they're offering 5GB bonus storage to who uses a referral link. So instead of just the 5GB you will get 10GB which is better than anything out there right now. Also if you Tweet it you can get an extra 2GB!!!
Before you say "I have never heard of this or it won't be around long" first off it is a new service this is why they are doing this referral promotion. Now think about it for second they have the domain name Copy.com, do you know how much that would cost them to get, also Barracuda is who is behind all of this. So take a second and think about this. It is not going anywhere and also it has features that are just as good as or even better than Dropbox and Box right now, and it is just going to get better. So why not sign up and get the most you can before it’s over.
It's as simple as click the link, sign up, confirm your email address, install the app to your phone or desktop and you're done 10gb FREE!
Mod Edit : Links removed
Get it before the bonus is up!!!
Have fun with your 10GB FREE cloud storage.
Also for all of those out there that are going to get mad about this being posted. Yes I get 5GB free but you know what??? So do YOU! If you just go to their site and sign up, you only get 5GB and that's it. So really we are both benefitting from this, and why not? This isn’t going to last forever so get the most you can for free while you still can.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thanks
Thread Closed - Referral Links Removed
Hello all,
I spent my summer of 2013 developing my first Android app- NetLive.
It allows you to monitor your internet data transfer rate while also showing the app that is using the most data at the current moment. It runs both in the notification drawer or as a widget, so you always have access to your transfer rate information.
I stopped development for awhile, but these past few months I have been hard at it. Initially I was only going to update it to support Lollipop, but I ended up basically rewriting the whole thing to address the main gripes many users had.
Unfortunately, I had to drop support for Android versions before 4.3 because it was causing many users serious issues. Basically, I am using four API calls that may work on Android versions prior to 4.3, but it is not guaranteed. As a result, in previous versions of NetLive I was using a hack to get around this, but it was causing major battery life issues for some devices. It was a tough decision, but I think the best move was to drop support for those users that were getting a bad experience. For those curious, the API calls I am referring to are from the TrafficStats class: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/TrafficStats.html
Particularly these four methods: getTotalTxBytes, getTotalRxBytes, getUidTxBytes, and getUidRxBytes. These methods all give the warning: "Before JELLY_BEAN_MR2, this may return UNSUPPORTED on devices where statistics aren't available." JELLY_BEAN_MR2 is API level 18 which is Android 4.3.
All feedback you can give me is much appreciated:

Thank you very much for your input. I want to improve this as much as I can over time, so your idea has been noted.
Thank you.
downloaded and will test
damn its showing me alot of apps using data that I didnt even know was using ;
endomondo, clock widget, facebook, steam, etc etc!
suggestions :
1. Make the ICON (Notification area) a bit more polished
2. Maybe a row of icons to indicate the other apps using data, rather than 1
3. No such thing as Idle state?
4. Total : Up : Down doesnt really mean much if its a dumb user
5. Don't think you need 3 decimal points.. such as 20.xxx

jcsy, I was very surprised as well to discover apps that were running in the background.
1. I agree the notification icon can improve. My friend is the designer and I will talk to him about this.
2. For the widget, notification drawer, or both?
3. What do you mean by idle state? Do you mean that if no app is using any data, no app should be displayed? If so, I agree.
4. This is true. It is difficult to use wording that is both to the point and meaningful. There is only so much real estate. But I agree.
5. LOL, yeah, it is a bit overkill. I will look into this, at the very least making it customizable. I left that in their to make the point to users that the data monitoring is quite accurate. Also, if users set it GBps, nothing will shows if I do not have those decimal points. But I do hear what you are saying.
Thank you very much for your very specific input.
1. the notification area, which is what I added
2. notification area. I meant as in ; kbps (Steam) into kbps (Steam / Whats app / Facebook ) ?
3. If no app (whch looks like unlikely because I was staring at that god damn thing for 30 minutes) and discovered that its NEVER IDLE... unless I off the data altogether
4. How about Download/Upload? lol yes, i know its hard
5. I tried a few settings ; kbps,mbps,kBps etc and got fed up. too many decimal points, lol... its not a F1 race (with decimal timing is important ) but yea, can see how accurate the thing is
keep up the work

Thank you for the clarification. This is a 1.0 product, so look for updates very soon.
Verrrrrryyy interesting app! I, too, have seen apps using network that surprised me. My suggestion: keep track of apps' network usage and let me see a table of usage over the last 5 minutes, hour, day, etc. Maybe more granularity and the ability to see a particular app's usage over time in a paid version of the app? But even without these features, it's a cool app. TYVM
Thanks, any chance you can add 3.2+ compatibility? Honeycomb is often overlooked but shares quite a few pieces with ICS. Thanks anyway, gonna try that on my One too.

My hope is that I will be able to make this app 2.3+ compatible. I only had so much time this summer, but 2.3+ compatibility is definitely on the list of things I need to do. After all, it still makes up 33% of Android devices.
Nice app. For the dumb user like me, you should write out the unit of measurements settings. Not everyone knows the difference between MB and Mb.
I world like to "open" the app, so not using the notification or widget.
Hey man, nice app, but can you add a feature that shows the Total Data Consumption of an Application?
I play some Online Games on my phone, and I would like to see how many Accurate MBs did I spent for each game sessions I make. Why? Cause I only have a limited data plan..
And when I ran the app, it consumes on an about 19MB on RAM. Is this normal? Cause I only have 301MB RAM (150 RAM Unused), and having a 19MB running app is quite big...
Thanks mate!!
Really nice and cool app!!

Many users have requested data usage logging, I will definitely explore this feature. As for the RAM, this is not an unusual amount for the app. It is higher than it should be though. I wanted to release this before school started and I did not have as much time for optimization as I wanted. I will be optimizing this app more as soon as I can. Thank you for your input.

Hello all,
I am currently working on gingerbread support for NetLive.
Also, I have gotten some love for my app from a few tech sites. I think they do a great job of conveying what my app is about. If you are on the fence about trying my app, give them a read

I have started school and I am not able to devote as much time as I want to NetLive, but I am working as much as I can and determined to get Gingerbread support. I have made progress, but there is still more to be done.
If you have a Gingerbread device, and a little bit of time, I would greatly appreciate some volunteers to help test my app.
Let me know if you want to and I will PM you.

Especially since Google removed the arrows that display on the WiFi and cell indicators when data is being transferred. I think my app is now even more useful. You can now quickly tell if data is being transferred.
Feedback is greatly appreciated and I hope you enjoy your experience.
