Seems like whatsapp is serious into getting onto our phones

Those in the whatsapp beta for Android should update your software ASAP, because they just put in push functionality for everyone with a 2.2 phone. Is this the only software so far not from google to actually use the 2.2 push function? (C2DM and the likes do not count)

how is it different to what its doing now?? i shall update soon after i finish charging

It doesn't poll like the old version anymore, and after some testing, I am getting my messages a little faster, because there is usually a 10-20 second delay when the app is sleeping, but this time it's like a 2-3 second after my friend sends me the text via whatsapp.

ahh right so there would be better battery life too??

Is the beta app available? Have they mentioned a release date?
Thanks

Whatsapp is probably one of the most useful apps for someone coming from a blackberry and misses BBMs. The difference is the speed but the main upside is that it's crossplatformed. Also the app is good for people that travel and have an open wifi spot. Free messaging to friends back home is well worth it.

Nope, but it should be within the next few months, it's already very stable other than some of the extra stuff like backgrounds, etc.

Yeah, since I have quite a few friends with an iphone and BB, I'm able to send them messages via my data plan.

AppBrain's Fastweb Installer uses C2DM too for installation of applications from your PC browser.
Anything that uses C2DM is immediately interesting, I'll check it out!

I believe Pingchat uses push notifications. Works well on my Desire.

It's not using the same type of 2.2 push unfortunately.

hows it different?
EDIT: also seems like there are sometimes big delays between messages. whatsapp keeps disconnecting in the new version

I had to revert back to an older verison I believe. Newest version yesterday kept logging me off also and messages were stalled until I sent one out then they'd all come in.
Looked on the changelog and they took off the "Push Notifications"
Currently running: v1.0.6138

I'm using whatsapp on 2.1. working pretty well so far. ... thinking of getting 2.2 but no sense UI ROM for hero yet.

can we have a link to the apps apk?

Aww man, they removed push notifications via C2DM and the reason was they need to give google a quota? I have no idea what that means.

http://beta.whatsapp.com/test/7/WhatsApp.html
* google push disabled -- we need quota from google

really, what's the difference/advantage of using C2DM. i dont understand what's going on in the background.

Yepp.... just downloaded the APK from the link provided above... You can download and install it, but when it asks for your display name, you will get a message that says "Unauthorized beta user, DO NOT E-MAIL US", or something like that.
That's too bad because I loved it on my BB to chat with my iPhone friends, you would think that it would be easier and faster to create an app for Android and it would already be out in the market !!

it works!! everyone gets that message just wait till tommorrow and try again and it will work. Heaps of people have had success using this method. dont give up so easily

updated yesterday and they've been approved for the push notification via GOOGLE's c2dm.
Only thing i've noticed is that the app unlike iPhone's version doesn't time out while it's in the background. So it seems like you're always logged in. This could be corrected by a task manager app to kill the app but once you receive a new message it auto logs you on and double check marks the message as read.

[APP] InterNETmittence - Save battery by scheduling your 3G connection

I just released on the market (ok, it was 2 days ago) the first working version of my first "real" android app, InterNETmittence (get it?Internet...intermittence...ok, I'm not that good with names)
Free version only allows you to specify how long do you want your 3G connection to be turned on for and how long until it eventually reconnects... basically, why being online 24/7 when you can just set the phone to reconnect every few hours or so and save some battery?
App's still in its beta form, there'll be bugs and I'd like to have them reported of course, as well as hearing from you what I should add to the app
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mdk.internetmittence
There's also a Pro version that gives access to Quiet hours and Screen off settings, as detailed in both app's decriptions, just in case you want to test it
That said, if any of you is particularly interested in being an active beta tester, I can provide him/her with said Pro version as well (free of charge, of course)

I am interested in beta test this app, as it does what i am doing manually.

great application! tested on sgs2

I would love to beta test the pro version I would surely give active feedback and feature suggestions
I have tried SuperPower, juice defender, and every app in between, so I can make sure your app goes farther then all the rest

I initially thought I needed it for the connection checking and stuff but then it just carried over from the free version (which has ads, pro version obviously doesn't)

Looks good mate, respects. But you should consider changing the name if you want the app to succeed - the current one is hard to remember and pronounce.

Check your email pls. I sent you a report.

With my HTC Desire HD, I could install it in the Market. With my HTC Desire (Classic) with Miui i can not find it.
In the online market find that it appears to me for my Desire is not available. Can you get the apk file to the free version available?

I attached the apk to the first post,but I'm not sure the APN modifying will work on MIUI (early alpha testers said so, I never had a chance to try)

Send me a link to download and I'll test it on the Droid Incredible. I'll also let you know when and what I tested.

[APP][2.2+] Where R U? - Location via SMS

Hi guys,
So I decided to create an app based on a simple idea my fiance gave me, and thought I'd come to you guys for some feedback.
In a nutshell, it's an app that will respond to an SMS trigger with the users current location.
1. Someone SMSs you "Where R U?"
2. Your phone works out its location to the closest 100m (if possible)
3. The app generates a google maps link
4. The app SMSs it back
That's the core of the app, but I've also created a "premium" version that has some other features such as a customisable sms trigger, geotagging, blacklist/whitelist options among others
What I'm hoping to get is a bit of feedback on my app and perhaps the way I'm going about a paid version of it. I'm very open to suggestions and I'm happy to provide the apk to the full version for those who want to try it.
Here's the link
Cheers!

*reserved*

Very cool. Thank you for developing

Thanks guys! Appreciate it

Hi, I was wondering if you can please provide information about how to use the black list/white list thing in free version, because I only want to send replies only one person so if I enable white list and add that specific contact to the back list /whitelist list, then will it work or not. I need an answer for this from you and asked from you to add details about this list configuration information on the Google play

Hi chorauoc,
Simply set the blacklist type to "whitelist", then add the contact you want to the list. The app will then ignore requests from anyone else Sorry for the ambiguous use of "blacklist", but I didn't really know what else to call it I'll update the app description to make it a little easier to understand.
Thanks for the feedback!

I love this! Its a simple way for me to know where my 8 year old daughter is and make sure she is where she should be if out at a friends playing! I can see this app will become invaluae to me as my daughter gets older and more adventurous in life. Thanks for this.
One suggestion for paid version feature is hide app draw icon if at all possible? As this would stop it being messed with by said daughter who by the way knows I keep tabs on her but accepts and understands why I do so, as my mother used to say 'Only privacy any child should have is in the bathroom!' But just because she knows does not mean she won't mess

Thanks for the feedback! I'll have a look at your request and see if I can get it in over the next few days
Let me know if you think of anything else.

I bought the paid app tried it out with my girlfriend but I couldn't get it to work. I used the default phrase and she sent me two messages asking "where are you?" But nothing happened. I have a note 2 on sprint, and when I clicked on last location it crashed. Nice idea though.

Hi there,
I'd be pretty keen to send you a bit of a debug version of the app to get some more info on why this is happening. I'm sure there are hundreds of possible combinations of settings and the like I missed while testing Would you be happy to install and test an apk if I sent it to you??

Can you make an improvement
Hi,
I really like this app and i would like to make a suggestion and i will be really happy if you can implement it on your app,
Ie
Can you implement an emergencies response to send the contact in the white-list, means if you could be able to identify the emergencies like not answering , sim change, not switch on for long time, etc.
If i further explain this,
Suppose I am not answering phone calls for log time period or my phone is suddenly switch off and not switch on for longer time (may be day or 3 days) , then we can assume that i may in a trouble so i would be happy to send my location via sms to my white-list contact, but at that time i may not be able to do it manually so if you can implement a way to auto response to contact that would be really nice. Also let say someone stolen my phone and tried to replace the sim card of it, so at that time you can implement a auto response massage by saying your current location as well as the new sim number (In order to do this you may have to record current sim details in a database and check periodically when a new sim change occurs ).Also if you can add a method to add pre-define locations, means if i or my contact went to home then i might be able to save my current location as home or if i or my other contact went to someplace (let say office) that we commonly goes we should be able to add it into a list, so when in the next time when my contact or i went to that places we should received sms by saying that we are in that place now (Simply means by doing this we can be sure that the person i was wondering to locate arrives safely home or any other pre-define places even i forget to send location massage via sms).
So if you can implement such a auto response method then this app will be a great one. Hope you will do this
I wil add ideas for make this app better in future :fingers-crossed:

So I've finally managed to implement your request (It took me a little longer than I planned ) You should get the update in a few hours. If you want to bring the icon back, install the Unhider and toggle it there Let me know how it works out for you.

I really like your idea with the emergency contacts, but I think it's a little out of scope for this app. Could be a good idea for my next app though
I like your 2nd idea too, but that would require constant location monitoring which can be very taxing on the phones battery. I like the idea of being able to save locations though, so the app could respond "I am currently at home" or some such You have plenty of good ideas!!

found small bug
Hi,
First of all thank you for your attention of my comments, anyway I found a small bug in this app, that is if we close this app using a task killer or clean master apps or anything have the capability of stop the service then this app not restart properly and we have to manually start the app again to get work, so can you fixed this bug, because as far as I believe the app should be in active status of anytime, hope you will consider about it, finally are you going to implement the location savings things in your app

[Q] new apps on gear app store

Hi,
Recently, I start to receive very few new apps each and every day. Previously I was seeing several apps per day now 1-2.
I would like to make sure that it is not a specific problem to me.
For example, today only one app is added . It's name is Crystallite. Can anyone confirm ?
In addition to this, yesterday my app named "Ultimate Info Watch" was approved. But I still can't see it on store. Is there anyone here who is able to reach my app ?
Thanks.

I see crystallite and gear alarm. I don't see yours though.. Hope that helps

I just bought my gear 2 and I'am loving it, but Tizen will certainly have the same fait as Bada! Samsung kills t! It is not interesting for developers! We have just a few apps and a thousand of watches! We have just one custon rom!
Every day we see less and less apps on samsung store!It is sad!
I will keep my gear 2, but I think that in less than 2 year it wont even be able to concect to a phone anymore. Samsung will give up on Tizen and the future android plataforms wont provide support.
Tizen has so mutch potential... I think it is better than android wear, but his dead is certainly...
Probbly will buy a lg watch r and keep the gear 2

I don't see your app either. Maybe it takes 24hrs to get uploaded and the servers refreshed?
Did you get a link to your app in the approval email? Maybe you filled out something improperly. You did post a question in the general section of this forum.

they don't provide a link in the approval email. I'm sure I didn't fill out anything improperly. And yes, I posted this in the general section because it is some kind of "out of scope" discussion. Maybe I shouldn't have marked it as a question.

Probably you have the same problem as me. One of my apps was approved a few days ago. Standalone app for gear 2 and gear s. In the update I selected all possible devices, can't remember hie many, but somewhere between 60 and 100. App was approved without comment. I didn't see it anymore in the app store. In the seller store I can see that it is only available 8 (eight!) devices. This is clearly a Samsung error, because when a standalone app works on a gear 2, works on the gear 2 independent the related phone. I sent Samsung a message yesterday, now waiting if they are going to solve this.

Don't read me wrong, i want to pay for good apps. But most of the apps are real crap. But you find this out after paying.
For this app, i'm waiting for another watchface i really want. (Watcher). The upcoming update have hourly weather and appointments in one.

Thanks for your reply. Actually on the registration process I did only select resolutions supported. There was not a place to select devices as far as I remember. Are you sure that there is a device selection as well ?
On which screen can I see which devices are selected for my app ?
I will also write to Samsung if I find similar issue. But first I must find the problem.
Thx.

the app uses the default background you select in background settings. Actually, I made a demo version to make trial available. But the approval process takes too long. So, if you want to try before purchase, please wait a cople of weeks.
Thanks for the feedback any way.

@mrmrmrmr Check in the seller site your app, by clicking on the link "For Sale" of your app. Then go to binary and you see the device count. You can click on the symbol left to the count, then you can see the list of devices for which your app is available.
When updating you can select the binary tab and click the advanced button. You will then get access to the device selection options. Automatically all recommended devices should be selected. Let me know if all devices are available for your app or only a few. Samsung said to me that it was my error and that I had to submit the update again with the full selection of devices. But I'm sure that I did this, so I think they made an error during the certification process. I did a new update, selected all devices and have to wait for another week to see if it will be ok now. It is such a slow process with Samsung, I really prefer android apps on Google, much easier to change/update apps.

thanks. I see 43 devices there. My device is Galaxy S5 , but in the list of 43, I only see: Galaxy S5 광대역 LTE-A -
that is really weird.
Maybe we are all missing lots of apps for just that reason.

Try to do an update, check the list of recommended devices and see if you can select more than the current selection of 43. You don't have to change anything in the update, you can just leave the binary and description unchanged. You can change the device selection, country selection and fill in a certification comment explaining the content of the update and then submit. Good luck.

I asked it as a question. But this seems to be a generic problem and I am afraid that most of us are missing lots of apps with similar problems. For example, I am using Galaxy S5 as a phone and maybe I am missing lots of available apps. And S5 is an important/commony used phone. Am I wrong ?

I'm not publishing this application in the Samsung Store, but Im releasing it here for all xda users.

Hi friend... Did everything, but don't know how your app works... I can't see it installed on my smart watch... It just install on the phone?

Upsss... sorry, I uploaded a wrong apk. This one should be installing the gear side app.
Could you check it please?
Thanks.

If you swipe right or left in the keyboard special chars should appear. (I noticed some important ones are missing as ",". I'm adding them later).
Whatsapp should be closing by itself without the need of closing it from recents Im sorry to hear it isnt for you. Im at work now, but I'll take a look at it when I arrive home and add a button for force closing on gear app while I can't get It to work well by itself.
Thanks for your feedback.

Does it work with gear 2 neo?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app

Sure, Im testing it on a neo

Does the watch have to be rooted? Because it doesn't work with my note 3... I cannot install the apk.

Well... no idea whats going on.
Can you try sideloading the watch app directly from your pc and tell me if it gets installed or the command output if it fails?
PS: I just installed it on a note 3 paired with a gear 2 neo using Samsung's Remote Test Lab without problems.

Thank you! I'll try later.
But where can I find the Samsung remote test Lab?

Remote test lab is for testing your apps in different devices. I used it just to check if it got installed with your devices well as I don't have a note 3. Not sure why you are asking for it when you own both devices, but anyway its on http://developer.samsung.com/remotetestlab/
