Normally, in my country, mobile users have to text the wordy and complex codes to telcos when they want to know their internet usage and balance.
I'm going to build up an application which allows users can check there information at anytime when they open the app on their mobile. I do not have any clue about the telcos having any API service for that or have to make the business deal with telecommunication companies.
I did attempt to figure out the way but nothing has come up yet. Does any one have any idea for that.
Hi,
I suggest you to explain your issue in the following development forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/coding
Thank you for using XDA Assist

I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Player with the intentions of using it as a wifi phone as a replacement for my cell phone.
The main reason for this is I don't like all the tracking going on with cell phones. Cell phone tower tracking, Carrier IQ tracking, etc., etc. I'm not doing anything illegal and I'm not a conspiracy nut, it's just the principle of it. I'm an American - I'm suppose to have freedoms and be able to have my privacy if I so choose.
I had planned on using either Skype with an online phone number or Google Voice to get voice on my Player. The problem with this is Google is going to track every wifi hotspot I log in from so I'm kind of back at square one - EVERYONE wants to spy on you these days. Not to mention all the criminals trying to get personal info at public hot spots.
So I thought about a VPN. That would stop Google/Skype from tracking the wifi hotspot I log in from. But, how does one find a VPN service that you know without a doubt is trustworthy??? I've even thought about getting my own VPS and installing OpenVPN myself (found a good service for that if anyone is interested). But from a true anonymity standpoint it would be better to use a VPN service who has many other customers all using a shared IP. Plus I'll use the same VPN service for my desktop and it would be nice to log into some websites from another countries sometimes.
I've also looked into setting up my own Asterisk server but haven't had time to get too in-depth with that yet.
Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
That's a bit much. I think skype is safe, though.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Hello everyone ,
First off, I apologize if this is the wrong type of question, but you are the only community I know that has the knowledge of the technical details am I looking for. I have asked this in several communities but failed to deliver a proper question and get a proper response.
Here is my train of thought, I hope you can follow:
So I have the presentation about mechanisms of online mobile app stores. I have to describe security and financial mechanisms (background asspects), protocols that are used when app is downloading from market. Also, I have to describe the architecture of that stores, although they don't have some unique architecture, but it describes their work as the principle. So, the main purpose of this presentation is to see how to implement online mobile app store and which technologies and protocols to use.
Thanks in advance
Hi all,
This probably belongs to the development forum, but since I'm new to XDA I'm only allowed to post here.
My question is about seamless mobility between WiFi and cellular. This seems to be a rather hot topic, with a lot of interest from cellular operators and many ongoing activities in various standardization bodies. However, in reality, till any of these standards get actually deployed in the field the problem of providing uninterrupted experience to the user lies in the hands of mobile app developers. Hence the question - are there any tutorials, samples and best practices the mobile app developer can follow to ensure seamless experience for the user when the phone moves from WiFi to cellular and vice versa?
Ultimately, I'd like to learn how would it be possible to write a Skype-like app to survive the switch to/from WiFi.
Hello,
Now a days, mobiles are really helpful devices in any industry. People use mobile phones to surf the internet or shop from online store. It is useful to grow your business via using different applications. Is it good to develop mobile application for business or not? There are too many companies available who develop mobile applications. How to choose best mobile application development company from all of them?
Thank You,
Calvin Hewitt
It is ofcourse possible to develop an app for a business and it is generally not very expensive unless you want the app to do a lot. Not knowing what business you are in, if I were in your position I would do the following:
1 - Figure out what you want the app to do (provide a service or provide information)
2 - Have similar functionality on your corporate website with maybe a mobile version (ability to place orders, or track them, or view information)
3 - Search for app developers online in your country/city so that you can personally meet them for the next step
4 - Contact some developers with what you have in mind and ask for a quote for developing and maintaining the app, at the same time you will figure out what they can and can't do + see examples of apps they have done in the past to judge their capability
5 - If you feel confident you can try and search for and contact app developers in other parts of the world like China, India, etc who may do the job cheaper and as good
Good luck Calvin!
I think android development has huge potential of being a viable business but there is a lot of competition. From making my own app as a hobby and releasing it getting the download isn't guaranteed. I putting all eggs in one basket hoping an app will be a great busies is a risk one of the main reasons it is a sideline project/hobby for me, and maybe there is a slim chance of something i make gives the security to make it my own job.
Hi XDA. I am a CS undergrad and for my final year project, I am looking forward to make an android app that records the cellular network's signal strengths at different locations where its user's daily interaction is, for example work, club, home for one person and school, home, [some other place] for another. The app will be designed to use an algorithm that will also combine similar locations by multiple users into a location group or a region. After collection of a significant amount of data, (say 1,000,000 entries) for a particular network, The app, as well as a web interface, will publish the results, comparing the service quality of different cellular networks, helping the users to choose the best for them according to their roaming needs, increasing the ease in their mobility.
My question is that is it a good Idea? Given that from where I belong (Pakistan), cellular network signals are still a big issue. I would also like to know if some developer in the past has worked on something like this or any thing related to it.
I'll be looking forward to the responses.
P.S: Sorry for this vague description, feel free to ask me any question about this Idea.
