Database Info

[BETA] Quizzer

Hey everyone,
a user from the android-hilfe.de forum mentioned the idea of an app that i found very interesting. I then started implementing stuff and here i want to present you the first usable beta version of the app.
It is a community quiz. You can post quiz questions, other users answer them and place their bid on their answer. At the end you close the question with the correct answer and everyone is rewarded according to their bids.
Please help beta testing that app. Please note that in this very first beta, no work has been done for layout and design. See it as a functional prototype. Although i would be very thankful for design/layout ideas, maybe some even wants to help me?
I'm really looking forward to your feedback
Here is the link to a simple beta page that i hacked together: http://quizzer-android.appspot.com
And of course the corresponding QR code:
{

good concept for an app, will probably be pretty fun when its finished, but right now the app is extremely unstable, sometimes it just exits right after I opened it, it always force closes when it tries to load the "by date" list in the "list of questions" section. The "by potsize" list usually works though that sometimes crashes too, in addition to all that the app seems to sometimes crash at completely random times.
In running the app on the LG Optimus 2x Phone, running CM7 Nightly build 21.
ps: on the registration part of the app, you only ask for the password once, its pretty common to ask for the password twice to avoid people mistyping the password, this does't really bother me that much but when you are typing on the android virtual keyboard it pretty easy to mistype something and not notice it, before you try to login to your app account.
ps2: If you don't mind me asking, I'm a bit curious about how you store account information, do you store the email & password in plain text? or do you hash & salt them? I'm just curious because I don't like to use services that doesn't protect their user data properly.

There was a FC-bug when displaying a question without any tag. Please reinstall with the new version (same url).

I think once there are a wider range of questions it will be better (I know thatis on us, the users) .
I am also interested in knowing how my information is being stored.

It takes time for me to make up all the false answers to make funnier quizzes.
It allowed 0 QZR for a bid.
Admob area's size need to be fixed.
Anyway, I will love it when it's all finished.

gmail seems to categorize your emails as spam, just thought you would like to know.
oh and btw, not to be rude or anything but it would be nice if you could actually give us some kinda response to the feedback we have given you instead of just completely ignoring it.

Hey everybody,
it has been two busy days for me, unfortunately not two busy Android days... I really thank you for you feedback so far and i am excitingly reading through the notification mails as they arrive. I just didn't have the time to answer or even code on the project.
@mikael, is this really the level you want continue this conversation? I do also have a reallife besides Android, sorry. Did you ever try to get one of your cars throught german TÜV? Then you know what is was doing the past two days...
I'll get back to you guys tomorrow and answer all the questions

sorry, as I said it was not meant as an insult, I do understand that you probably have other non android related stuff to do, It just that when you posted a post after I posted my feedback without responding at all, it seemed like you were intentionally ignoring my feedback, but if thats not he case then sorry I misunderstood you, I'm usually a pretty nice guy so please don't get the wrong idea, I have nothing against you or anything like that.

Ok guys, here we go
Sorry that i weren't able to respond in the past two days, you already know why It was hard to find the time to fix that annoying FC bug when opening the questions list but i thought that was more important at that time then responding here since it renders the app useless.
Ok let's start

There was an additional bug in the update code for the header of the main screen. Hopefully that is fixed now too and you won't experience those random FCs.

The password is hashed on your phone so that it never get's transmitted over the network in plain text and i can't see your plaintext password either. The email is stored as plaintext so that i can send you a mail if anything important is going on (like yesterdays mail about that critical bugfix). The backend of the app is hosted on GoogleAppEngine by the way. Feel free to suggest any other strategies on storing or transmitting values. The values that are stored for a user are: your activation token, an active flag, answer count, question count, key of your avatar in the gae blogstore, mail, nickname, pass (hash), and your QZRs.
It allowed 0 QZR for a bid.

damn, will have a look at this. They arrive just fine in my gmail inbox.
And a question from my side:
I have also implement a function for sending mass in-app notifications (appear on your notification screen in the app). Which way to be informed about critical updates do you prefer? mail or in-app notification. In one of the next versions i will add an optional background service that shows incoming notification on the phone's notification bar, too.
Looking forward to read your responses Goddchen

as for the admob thing I'm guessing what todayist meant was that when the ad placeholder was displayed in the the top of your app it was wider than the app itself which allowed you to scroll within the admob object, but this only seems to happens with the placeholder ad, real ads seems to work as they should.
as for the notification thing I don't mind getting them by email, but there are a lot of people that probably do mind that, so if I were you I'd implement some preference thing that allowed a user to choose between email notifications and in app notifications.
I also have a couple of questions/feature requests:
first of all I think it would be nice it the person that has created a question would be able to actually see what people have answered on the question, that would be useful information to see whether or not the question was to hard or too easy.
in addition I'm wondering how you are going to stop people from screwing around with the questions, because as it is right now, you rely on the people creating questions to actually include and choose the right answer, somebody could easily screw people by simply choosing the wrong answer as the right answer, doing that could probably also be used cheat.
I also think that when a question is closed the users that answered on that question should be able to see what the right answer was, maybe you could even add a "report wrong answer" button that, if enough people pressed it would make a mod check whether the answer was actually correct, and if it wan't the people answering on the question should be refunded the game money that they bet on the question.
I know that would probably be a bit complicated but it would decrease the problem of people cheating by choosing the wrong answer as the right answer.
in addition to all that I have a question, its pretty obvious that acquiring QZRs is pretty important in this game (you even plan to allow people to buy QZRs using paypal and in-app purchase) but my question is, what is the point of the QZRs right now they can only be used to place bets, do you plan on adding some kind of store or reward stuff that can only be bught/unlocked by using QZR?

Good point. But to solve this? Forcing the set the correct answer on question creation? Any other ideas?

no problem
I do actually have some feedback about beta2 as well, primarily its seems like a good update, but there are still some things that bother me, first of all, after the beta2 update one of my questions seems to have become corrupted somehow.
The question I'm referring to is the "is the official name of android 3.1 icecream sandwich" question that I created under the user name mikael. The question has 2 answers, "True" and "False", but after the beta2 update my question now has 3 answers according to the pi-chart, the new option that suddenly appeared was "" in other word an empty string, currently 1 person has answered True, one has answered False, and 6 has answered "", which confused me since "" is not actually something you can select when you answer the question.
But I figured that out when I tried to close the answer, if I try to close the answer while the False otpion is selected the confirmation dialgue asks if I want to select "null" as the correct answer, the same happens if I try to select True as an answer, in other words both the true and the false answer point to the null string, which means that If anyone anwered the question after this bug occured their answer would be registered as null, instead of the option they actually selected, which expalins why 6 people apperantly answered "null". I have no idea what caused that bug, but I'm guessing its a database issue of some kind, so it something you will have to take a look at.
other than that I have another complaint, and I know that this is intentional but I think that allowing questions to stay live infinitely until they are closed is a bad idea, primarily because a lot of the questions seems to have been abandoned completely which means that everybody that answered on those questions basically just threw their game money away.
I think there should some time limit to when you have to close your question, something like 1 week or perhaps one month if you think that one week is too short. I have currently answered 7 questions on your app but only 2 of them has been closed, the other questions seem to have been abandoned by the question creator.
other than that though the app seems pretty good, I really appreciate the hard work you are putting into this app and I hope I don't put too much work on your shoulders with all of my complaints, questions and feature requests.

Yeah that really is a big problem that is bothering me for days now. beta3 (which will be released today) introduces the 3 other limit types (days, date, answers). Those will be fine and exactly what you are explaining. I am unsure if i should keep the unlimited option in the app. Do you think it would be a good idea to remove it completely?
other than that though the app seems pretty good, I really appreciate the hard work you are putting into this app and I hope I don't put too much work on your shoulders with all of my complaints, questions and feature requests.

Yesterday i was thinking about how to make the release to the market. I want the beta testers to have a bonus for their work and help. So this is what i have come up with for a possible release to the android market:
Reset all beta tester accounts
Give all beta tester accounts 50 bonus QZRs
Remove all answers from all questions
Keep the questions so that there are some initial release questions
Make those questions owned by my account so that abandoned questions won't be a problem.
Do you have any suggestions to this?

sounds pretty good to me, but if you are expecting a lot of new users and questions after making the app available on the market then wouldn't it be a good idea to get some extra moderators to moderate the questions? Maybe you should pick some of the beta testers to be mods. thats your choice though, other than that I can't think of anything else to do before you put the app on the market.
oh and btw I am still receiving "null" answers on some of my questions which probably means that there are still someone who use the old app, would it be possible to somehow block "null" answers on the server side, so that so that people who still use the old version would not be able to submit answers without updating the app.

'Who is Tracking '​
The application will detect any malicious APPS or BLOATWARE trying to track your location and user information (Bluetooth, WiFi, Bank Accounts, Messages, GPS, Social Networks information, 2G & 3G, etc.).
Application - Features :
'Who is Tracking' will detect any malicious apps or bloatware trying to track your location using GPS, or tracking user data from incoming / outgoing call lists, messages, Wi-Fi network information, 2G/3G data, Gmail, Facebook and similar apps. (Few features works only paid). Using this applicaiton you can find-out any one HACKING or TRACKING your phone.
WiFi, GPS,2G,3G,4G,GPS,NFC & SERVER TRACKER: After running the detection test, you will receive a real time sound alert if any traces of tracking is found. In-case anyone is trying to track you, the sound will come automatically (Real time sound works only paid).
App Server Tracker : Track apps server location (Which country server the app is using) Gmail Server location, FB, Twitter, etc...
Sus App list : List Danger apps
App Permission Blocker - Block certain application permission..
Sound Alert : After running the detection test, you will receive a real time sound alert if any traces of tracking is found. In-case anyone is trying to track you, the sound will come automatically (Real time sound works only paid).
System Information : Know about your device system information (Processor, CPU Core , SD card, Memory).
Android OS : Manufacture info, Model No, Product Release, Version, Device Info, Open GL, Kernel info, etc.
App Permission : List of permission required by the apps.
User Installed App : List of applications installed by user.
System App : List of System apps.
'Who is Tracking 'provides a list of all apps which are accessing GPS, Wi-Fi, 2G/3G, Gmail and other apps, and also the reason why the apps need this info (Few features works only paid).
Allow Mock Allocation : Enable this feature to send mock GPS data if any app is trying to access GPS info for longer duration or multiple times.
[ Example : Yelp has permissions to access GPS data to triangulate on your current location to provide you with restaurants around you. But it accesses the data only once on initialization, but malicious tracking apps will keep accessing the GPS data to track your movements and location at all times in the background. ]
Select - Delete History : Deletes complete history information from your device (Few features works only on paid version).
Why 'Who is Tracking ' was created
There are communities in hacker forums and blogs whereby they push to develop and publish apps which can track your data and retrieve the extracted information (Ex. your contact information, email IDs, phone numbers, saved bank account details or any other important information).
Android, to a certain extent, can restrict such apps from being published in PlayStoreTM , but hackers bypass these by using techniques like reflection, API mirroring, etc.
Even though all the custom ROM developers take immense care in providing ultimate user data protection, still hackers copy the OS, modify the APIs to provide access to personal data and hidden / internal APIs. By this, they will be able to monitor, record and access the data created by you while sharing with various apps on your Android device.
We used a couple new features of ANDROID to stop hackers to track the information.

Cool app. Appreciate the idea of tracking the trackers!
Don't lose hope. Good apps will surely get their recognition.
I suggest you improve the UI as people today are very particular about it.
1.On the main page, where each option is given, rather than just having them colored in blue, keep them like buttons which gives a click effect when clicked. You can atleast add a onClick color.
2. Make sure the app name is displayed clearly. Highlight it everywhere.
3. Have a title in result page where tracking apps are displayed. Now it's plain with text on white page from top to bottom.
4. Have a good logo. It'll make a lot of difference, trust me.
5. If you don't mind add an option to exit the app.
Improve the UI, that'll make huge difference. Wont take much time too.
---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:30 PM ----------
Just trying to help you. Please dont take negative my feedback. Implement them if you feel it's fine. Just sharing my opinion
Few more suggestions:
Change the title of thread to - Who is tracking - Find out who's trying to hack your phone!
and after installing the app name is being shown as PackagePoc. It'll be good if that is also renamed with app name.

Screenshot please.

Please hit Thanks if you like my review.. you can contact me [email protected]

Great app
Very nice concept. I'll certainly review it on my website :good:

Thank you! Means a lot to me :good:

Just wanted to say that I have tested this app on my Stock rooted S3 and it works perfectly fine. This is a great app for someone like me that always runs into people. Usually I have them call me so I can have their phone number, but then I usually flash a new ROM and lose their number...this is going to save me. Good work!

I will deff look into adding those features! Thanks bro
Also dont forget the PRO verison send me your email in a PM and ill give you a free copy

Nice app with an exceptional ease of use.
I'm currently enjoying the benefits of Pro and will in the near future purchase this app
As a user noted above, more theme/colour options would be great.
Only one problem so far, I cant seem to find an option to turn off the NFC functionality
and as such get prompted to shake the device on every start up of the app. I don't use
nor need NFC so it stays off. This option would be greatly appreciated!
Love these kind of time saving apps and I hope we see more
Forgot to mention, I'm testing this app on a rooted SGS4 (i9505) running JB 4.3 (Jamals).
And no offence at all, but I have a keen eye and have noticed your Sig needs adjustment, "UI Design"

Hi!
Great app! Good job...
Nitpick - Typo on 'Shake Phone' pop-up : Should be "your", not "you're".
Bug - I'm using a Nexus 4. When, I'm in the 'Add only' tab, I can't see the 'Last Name' and 'Phone Number' fields when entering data into them, with the keyboard open, The list should scroll down, ideally.
Neat app, though!
Thanks!

Suggestion: In addition to personal info add fields for business name, address, phone number, fax number. This could develop into something really nice. Business cards are soooo low tech. lol.

[Q] Logging of notifications Galaxy Gear

Hey community !
First of all, I'm very new to this forum and to this technology, so sorry if I do any mistakes and point me to them.
I wanted to post this new thread at the GalaxyGear Forum, but the system said, I have to post it here, otherwise it would be against the rulez.
To topic:
I heard that an update (released on 15th November 13 - I think FW: V700XXUAMK7) enables the user to choose and define every notification to be shown on the Gear or not.
Well, if I want to know, which notifications have been shown on the Gear the last few days or hours, how can I get this?
Is there any integrated logging on the Gear, or is there any way to log these notifications?
It also would be OK, if the GearManager-App on the Phone-Device would log them. Or, not "OK", it would be brilliant :laugh:
I am looking forward for your help and thanks.

How To get an unlock code in 24 hours via T-Mobile Live Chat

So with the cellphone unlocking bill being in the news today it prompted me to finally get my Note3 unlocked to increase its future resale value. With my past phones, I was able to use hacks to unlock it before selling, but afaik there are no unlock hacks for the Note3 yet, and the idea of paying money for 3rd-party unlock codes seems stupid, which leaves the last option: Calling your carrier up and requesting the unlock code.
Instead of calling for the unlock code, I decided to see if I could just get it via their live webchat thingy instead, and surprisesurprise, it worked. After about 5 minutes of chat instead of a ~10+ minute call with someone with a incomprehensible accent, my request was in and I should have the code in 24hours. Yay.
Two relevant links:
T-Mobile's short support document on unlocking the T900 Note3
The Live Chat link is on the bottom-right of the tmob Contact page (only when you're logged in)
Here's the chatlog for anyone interested in the process. The important bits are in bold (and my IMEI# and other personal info is removed, obviously ):
T-Mobile: We have received your information and will connect you with a T-Mobile Chat Specialist soon.
Majanconcesa N: Hi! I'll be glad to take care of you today!
Majanconcesa N: I understand that you wanna unlock your device, Jason. I can absolutely file the request today. No worries at all! Let's get that covered. Allow me to pull up your account real quick to make sure that I won't miss a thing for you today and to make sure the device is eligible.
You: Thanks. I've had my Note 3 since day1 in October so I should be eligible.
Majanconcesa N: You're welcome! Thanks for letting me know.
Majanconcesa N: May I have the 4 digit pin on your account, please?
You: FWIW I'm not planning on leaving T-Mobile with the unlock code (nothing beats the $30/mo prepaid plan) -- I just want to have my device unlocked for the increased resale value down the road.
You: Sure -- my PIN is: ****
Majanconcesa N: Absolutely! I respect that, Jason. I trust you and my goal is to resolve your concern at the end of this chat with both of us smiling. I am more than happy to review your account and device so I can give you accurate information about the unlock procedure.
Majanconcesa N: Thanks for the pin!
Majanconcesa N: I am glad to inform you that your t-mobile samsung note 3 meets the requirements, your account is active and current, there was usages on the device and the account has more than $100 refill. Let me just provide you all the advsiments before we submit the unlock request.
You: Good to know
Majanconcesa N: Perfect!
Majanconcesa N: The T-Mobile SIM Unlock Team will handle this request once I've filed it. It can take up to 14 days to receive the information from a manufacturer. SIM unlock codes are not always available for every device, but T-Mobile contacts the manufacturer if necessary to obtain the information. If the SIM Unlock Team and the manufacturer’s database cannot provide an unlock code, the device may need to be exchanged or upgraded in order to receive an unlock code. The T-Mobile SIM Unlock Team will e-mail you when the request is completed, denied, or delayed.
If we are able to complete your request, the SIM Unlock Team will e-mail you the SIM unlock code and instructions for unlocking the device to the e-mail address you have provided. In the event the e-mail is deleted, corrupted or lost, or if you have any difficulty following the instructions in the e-mail, we have a copy sent to the memos on your account. As such, they will remain available so that we we can assist you further.
Please be aware that your e-mail service may block the e-mail. To prevent the e-mail from being blocked, please be sure to allow e-mails from:
E-mail: [email protected]
First name: ARSystem
Last name: Notify
You can also find more information on a SIM unlock code by going to http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm51885.xml or by searching for "SIM unlock" or "unlock" on www.t-mobile.com.
Majanconcesa N: I am sorry if that is kinda long, I just wanna make sure that I will be able to give you all the info yu need to know.
Majanconcesa N: May I have your phone's IMEI, please? You can find out the 15-digit IMEI to the phone by dialing *#06# on the phone, or checking under the battery.
You: Understand. IMEI# is: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Majanconcesa N: Excellent!
Majanconcesa N: Can I also get a callback number (if you want to use the mobile number, that's fine) and an e-mail address, please? This allows T-Mobile to e-mail your unlock code to you and contact you in case we need additional information to process your request.
You: 646-XXX-XXXX OR [email protected]
Majanconcesa N: Fantastic!
You: Up to 2 weeks in a worst case scenario?
You: This was easy. Thought I'd have to call in.
You: (I know you can buy codes on ebay and from other sketchy places with a few hours turnaround, but this free)
Majanconcesa N: Oh no, that will be 24 hours only. That will be 2 weeks if the device imei unlock code is not available but rest assured 100% that yours is on our database. That I promise! Allow me to submit it real quick.
Majanconcesa N: And yes, this is for free!
You: Ah, I see. Thanks a bunch.
Majanconcesa N: You're very much welcome! And thanks too for your patience!
Majanconcesa N: Here it is. Unlock Request #7034073 has been submitted for processing. The request will be processed within 24 hours. Please be advised if the unlock code is unavailable in our database it can take up to 14 days to receive a response from the manufacturer. You will be notified once your form has been processed within 24 hours.
Majanconcesa N: Did I miss anything for you today? Please do not hesitate to let me know if you still have concern, I'll be glad to assist you!
You: I think you covered it. Glad you could handle this for me online (VS call-in), so color me impressed.
Majanconcesa N: You're welcome! We absolutely wanna make things more easier for you! You've been amazing! I'm glad I was able to assist you, my name is MajanconcesaN. We greatly appreciate your business! You have a good one and take care!
You: You too. Bye.
The agent has exited the chat. Thank you for chatting with us today.

Nice! That should make a lot of people very happy.
Also, in case anyone in the EU is wondering 'What about us?", the EU completely forbid SIMlocking itself a few years ago.

unlock fail
UPDATE 2: Finally found my old AT&T microSIM, and was prompted to enter the unlock code upon bootup, but it FAILED. Every unlock attempt resulted in a "SIM Network unlock request unsuccessful" error message. BahHumBug.
I even triple-checked that my unlock code, IMEI, and other info was correct, and it was, so I'm unsure why it's failing. Either T-Mobile screwed up, or, the fact that I'm rooted and running CyanogenMod (with KNOX tripped) instead of TouchWiz is the variable to blame. I'll have to restore TouchWiz at some point to verify (unless someone else can chime in here?)
