This was the old thread when I was beta testing my app. You can actually check out the new thread to download the app and leave feedback! No need to apply or request beta, the app is already out now. Thanks for checking it out!
======================================================================================================
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for people to beta test my app before I release it to the market. InstaWifi is an Android app that uses NFC and QR codes to connect to your wifi networks instantly. Watch the video below for a more in-depth overview of what it does. If it sounds interesting, please apply to be a beta tester so I can fix any bugs and receive feedback before launching.
Beta testers will receive a free NFC sticker for them to keep!
Link to the app on the Play Store
Please follow through to the YouTube video to find links to screenshots and the beta tester applications.

Haha it's actually a Droid X, EVEN OLDER. Glad to hear that my janky old Android phone is still useful.
Thanks ATZ-007, I agree, having hotels/cafes implement this would be a godsend.
This app seems very useful. Can't wait to actually test it .
Thanks Dathen for your interest! I'll let you guys know in a few days, the response has been overwhelming!
This may be a stupid question, but could someone with an iOS device have this work by scanning the QR code? I have an Android phone (Nexus S), but most of my friends have iPhones. If not, I'd still like to help test using just my own phone.
Add the ability to have a tag right by my door to disable wifi as I'm leaving also and this app will be a smash with me...
Nice job jesse, let us know when it's out!

Hey jmoten88, thats a good question. I followed the QR code format here as specified by zxing. As far as I know this is only supported in the Barcode Scanner app by Zxing. Now, if there is an app on iPhone that follows this format to connect to WiFi, assuming that the WiFi API is similar on iOS, then yes, the QR codes generated by InstaWifi would work on iPhones. However, I think there is no app that does that as of now.
Thanks Mark!
(and this is 10 posts, phew, I can finally post outside links now hopefully)
Will this app require that all phones have the app installed to use the NFC sticker?
Hi, I'm Yelamos, the community manager from ARlab, a company that has been recently involved in augmented reality. Up to now, we have published two SDKs for Android and iOS (ARBrowser SDK and Image Matching (markerless based) SDK). Following our easy API you will able to integrate Augmented Reality technology in your mobile application in few time. We just opened our beta program so we encourage any mobile developer interested to join us.
Here below you can check out a couple of Youtube videos showing some of the SDKs capabilities:
https://vimeo.com/channels/elipsear/43812943
https://vimeo.com/channels/elipsear/43245652
Here you have access to the documentation, API, sample codes and tutorials:

Also if you want to see more of what we're doing you can check out our Facebook page. Hit the like button, make us see if you're getting involved, we'll appreciate it!
Furthermore if you have any questions, feedback or any kind of request do not hesitate to ask.
UPDATE: We have just released a sample app for you guys to check out, BoxOffice, which uses the Image Matching SDK, here is the thread talking about the app.
UPDATE: We have released another app! Trailer Catcher! We encourage you guys to go and take a look!
UPDATE: I don't know if you guys know about this, but just in case you don't, we released an AR game a week ago, and here's the link: BombAR!
ANOTHER UPDATE: we have just released another of our open source apps: ARPicBrowser
In this open source application, we have used the API provided by Panoramio, with which we are able to get pictures – that have GPS coordinates – and place them on the device, according to our location and also the place the mobile device is pointing to. It has a few more features that are fully explain in its own forum thread.
UPDATE: This week we're proud to present linkAR! the social network for AR devs!
UPDATE: We released the 3D engine SDK. It's out as a beta! check it out HERE

Ok, so basically we have just released the beta versions of two of our products. We offer to developers a whole set of Augmented Reality tools, including these ARBrowser and Markerless-based Image matching SDKs.
The first of them is the AR browser:
This is basically an Augmented Reality geolocation-based browser in which you are able to add Points of Interest (POIs) with customizable information and actions. With this Augmented Reality view you are able to see in your camera device the POIs defined layered over your screen, and to launch any customizable event when the user clicks this POI.
So imagine that you live in Paris, and that you're standing right next to the famous Eiffel Tower. You can, by using the AR browser add a marker that, for example allows you to, once you click it, instantly display a video of how it was built, or re-direct you to the wikipage of the Eiffel Tower.
The second available SDK, is the known as Markerless-Based Image Matching, which with the user of this technology is able to recognize an image and also launch an event once it is recognize.
You can check the features of each one of these Beta Versions in the following links:
ARBrowser
ARImage Matching
If you have any further questions i'm happy to answer them! ^_^

Hi stkfigure, thank you for your interest. In order to be a beta tester you have to download our free sdks, implement an application using them, and finally your feedback has to be sent. Thus, we are gonna be able to improve our products in each new version. Furthermore, being part of our beta tester programm, you will have access to our new software before the official release date."

Hi QuantumFoam, the beta is quite stable. The differences between the actual beta and the release version will not be many. Also, the conditions of usage are in this link, under the "2, fill the form" and "license terms". If you cannot find it i'll send you a private message with the full license terms.
Hey all!
I'm sure some of you are familiar with the Bing Rewards system; it's simple, search with Bing, earn rewards points, redeem rewards points for gift cards, Xbox Live Microsoft Points, among many other things. Most commonly you are able to accumulate 15 points per day (in some cases 30), with 1 point being equivalent to 2 searches. This means you must do 30 Bing searches per day to get the maximum amount of points. But who has time to sit there and tediously search for 30 different things? That's where my app comes in.
I haven't found anything similar on a mobile phone. I know there are websites that do this for you, but if you aren't near a computer and want to bang out your 30 or so searches quickly, this is the app for you.
Be gentle, this is my first crack at an app! Although it is extremely simple I believe there is much to be done and updates will continue to roll out over the coming weeks.
Thanks guys! Any constructive criticism is appreciated :cyclops:
You can find the link to the Play Store here.
Link to the PRO version is here
Edit on 4/19 -> If the link above doesn't work, give it a little bit of time. The application is still in the process of being published.
Only thing is I'm not sure it did it. Maybe a"done" or "finished" dialogue.
Thanks for the app because i never use Bing on my computer unless they remind me. I've been a rewards member since they started it and only just now have 200 points this will be very handy.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
It does go through the process, it does kind of 'freeze' until its done, but if you wait long enough you'll see the final search load and your points will be there. Some sort of visual feedback is a great idea. I'll definitely add it next update, thanks so much!
Is there an option to automatically run at a certain time of day so I don't have to remember every day?

Not as of now, I'll definitely explore that for you though. I'm about to push an update with feedback on when it is done.

Just updated this - very minor updates. Fixed a bug where inputting '90' searches wouldn't do anything. Every number should work now. But the application will never do more than 90 searches (as this is the max amount of searches that will yield points any given day).
I'm sure some of you have multiple accounts for Bing Rewards (I do), I'm looking to maybe implement a tabbed layout, in which each tab has its own webpage. The way I see it, instead of having to log in and out of your accounts on the one webpage, each tab will be a different account, saving you guys even more time! After all, who has more than a few minutes to spend for Bing searches anyways?
Another new update!
v1.1 Big update!
- Got rid of the text box that prompted the user to enter the amount of searches they wanted done. Instead, there are now buttons with pre-defined amounts of searches for each.
- Made it much easier to shuffle accounts by way of adding the 'Windows' and 'Facebook' buttons.
- Added an Info & Instructions tab to give the user more information about the application, and how to get the most out of it.
PLEASE check the Info & Instructions tab to understand the new update!!
I believe this update makes it much more user friendly, hopefully you all enjoy it. If you like it, don't be afraid to give me a good rating
Hello again everybody. I've got a sweet new update for all users! Who has time for ANRs and Crashes? Well, I certainly don't, and I'm sure you don't either. ANRs in my application are a thing of the past with my v1.1.1 update that I like to call "Anti-Freeze".
v1.1.1 "Anti-Freeze"
The freezing of the application is now gone - you'll be able to see searches happen in real time.
Also, it was brought to my attention that the search terms that were used were not working for some users, maybe because Bing caught on to using the same terms everyday? Regardless, no two searches will be alike - a random word generator has been implemented.
This should be nearly perfect now. No stupid BS that'll waste your time, just open the app, log in, click the button, and watch your Rewards Points flow in .
Please don't forget to rate and/or give feedback on the Play Store listing. If you have any questions, you can also post them in this thread, as I check this bi-daily (Is that even a word? Whatever. Twice a day).

I wouldn't call scheduling "too much" at all.. you may see that in maybe a 'Pro' version of the application sometime in the future aka once school is over. But a friendly reminder in the status bar shouldn't be too hard to implement for this current version of the application. That'll be included in the next update for sure, Lee. Thanks for the idea

wow! You rock. I had literally submitted a comment on the play store about the search terms and anr being worse. And while I'm sure I'm not the only one who's mentioned it. You not only replied quickly, but you also fixed the issue just as fast. I commend you for that. There needs to be more devs like you. Best of luck, and once again keep up the good work!

GO PRO!
It's just me again..
Writing this to let you all know that there is now a 'Pro' version of the application available! As of me writing this the link probably isn't quite up and running yet, but it will be found at: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.crockettc.bingrewardsautomatorpro in the next few hours.
So what does this Pro version do? Well, for starters its twice as fast at searching, meaning you get done faster, saving you more time. I'm going to re-do the look and feel of the application to make it look better, not just boring old white & stock Android, cause even as the developer of this application, I must admit it is boring to look at.
If you've been following this post, you can also surmise that a auto-start feature will be implemented in the Pro version as well sometime in the future.
Now just because a Pro version is out, doesn't mean I'm abandoning the 'base' version! If bugs are found, or the need arises for a change, it will be updated just as quickly as the Pro version would be. I'd never leave you guys, the downloaders of my first ever published application, behind!
Enjoy your night guys!
Just a quick update to those of you following this thread, the auto start feature should be in an update by the middle of next week! The full auto start will be pro version only, with a reminder notification going in the base version.

This app is kinda lame for me, I don't use twitter much, and I don't see an option to share to facebook or to post a link.
It seems to record audio, but you have to tap to take screenshots? Seems like it has really limited features, I don't see the appeal yeat, but, it just came out today.
There is hope for an update REAL SOON NOW:

Yes - I wonder when this will begin to roll out... Hopefully there's some good improvements but I'm happy with my SW2 as it is anyway
Updates are welcome ... i want regular updates and would be even happier if they listen to the community with regards to more watch faces etc
I'll post as soon as i notice an update.
My Current versions are:-
1.0.B.1.6/1.0.A.1.3
all i see in that post is performance improvement, now expecting any new watch faces though
Do I need to do anything special in order to connect the SW2 to computer? my pc doesn't recognize the USB....Is this through Sony PC Companion
i think that blog post was for the 1.0.B.1.6 update, which started rolling out on the 21st....

Hey Guys,
Someone got further news to an Update for the SW2.
I realy miss features like:
knock to wake
more watchfaces
music widget
personal icon sort
Grz
i got this reply today, about the missing watch face that's on the box
(from Sony Webcare in the Netherlands)
"we expect this functionality soon in the next update, when this update will be rolled out i dare not say"
and in another message:
"i've saw the video, it seems only test samples had that watch face. i do expect this to be made available soon though"
i'll continue stalking them, adding one watch face doesn't solve the other issues
edit: also sent Sony webcare nl a tweet, the mail i sent though their support website never got answered either, but it was registered with a request number, maybe that will help as well
