wireless network benchmark - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

The University of Michigan has developed a test program that looks at many dfferent aspects of how wireless networks perform or not. Want the world to know how lousy your network service is? This app will upload the results for you.
It's called "3GTest" and has several flavors, although the WinMo is lagging behind iPhone and Android right now. Information here

"Mobile Speed Test"

According to http://www.mobilespeedtest.com, the HSDPA connection on my 'HD scored a speed of 512Mb/sec.
Now, I know that Orange UK make a lot of wild promises, but I suspect a mistake here...
Anyone got anything sensible out of this online speed tester, or can recommend one that works ?

There are probably better ones, but the most reliable I've seen so far is testmyiphone.com

Web on HTC hero t-mobile

Hi just wondering what the H and G stand on t-mobile for when I'm connecting to the internet ,when not in a 3g area .

Google is your friend!!!
You will only get H in a 3G area.
IIRC, G is GPRS, or General Packet Radio Service, basically the slowest mobile internet you can get.
3G you obviously know, essentially Gx3, roughly 3 times the speed of normal GPRS.
H is HSDPA. High Speed Download something or other, also known as 3.5G and is currently the fastest mobile internet you can get on GSM I believe. I may be wrong though.
So, in order of ascending speed, the icons you may get when connected to t'internet are: G, E, 3G, H.
Hope that helps a bit.
EDIT: Something I feel I should say regarding the matter. Linux and Android are community driven, open source projects. People ask other people with more experience how to do things. If everyone's answer to anything was "Let Me Google That For You," even the mighty Google would have no answers. I learnt my way around Debian by asking on Debian forums how to do things like chown, chmod (the two things I remember as being most confusing), kernel programming and everything else I now do on my laptop as second nature.
Just because something seems blindingly obvious to one person doesn't mean it is to someone else and shouldn't treated with a generic and offhand 'google' response.
I don't mean to seem agressive or anything, but as it says on the back of learner driver cars "Please be patient. You were a learner once too."

Hello @gopineom,
The best place I have found is on AppBrain. Their list of active ad networks not only break down the top 60+, but you can dig into them a little deeper by seeing what category of apps people are using. This is an indication of the success of those category per each network (http://www.appbrain.com/stats/libraries/ad), not saying others wouldn't work, I just use it as a guide.
I am actually curious your successes on the networks you mentioned, and why you would be looking at others?
Thanks!
Pingjam is a new ad network which doesn't spam
Pingjam is a new ad network for Android apps that adds a useful caller ID service to your app and shows only relevant ads in business phone calls. You are welcome to check us out :good:
In our experience it depends on your location, if you've got lots of US customers Amazon is a great choice. We've got a list of ad networks we're support for Android on AdFlake.com, scroll down to the bottom of the page.
But I recommend integrating AdFlake into your app, it supports 14 ad networks for Android (and we'll add more in the near future) so you only have to implement a single SDK and you'll get access to all networks and even more awesome features on top. You can even change the allocation after the deployment of the app.
Although they are not ad-networks per se, did you try the Burstly (now it is called skyrocketapp) and MoPub?

Hey @gopineom. Did you have a look at Pollfish? Pollfish is a new interactive monetization method that delivers surveys instead of ads through mobile apps providing high payouts with minimal intrusion.
I have used Admob,airpush,leadbolt. SDK integration is easy and quick, smooth payment however they have one common thing: kinda low eCPM. So I switch to Adsota. Here is my opinion about it
Pros:
- Good eCPM
- Quick and smooth payment
- Work for IOS and Android
- 100% Fill-rate
Cons:
- It mainly targets Southest Asian users. (actually this is a pros for me)
I still use it today and you can find by googling "ads.appota"
Best of luck, mate!
@gopineom , if you'd like to try video advertising, would highly recommend you check out Teads.tv. We offer great CPMs, advertisers, and support for the integration. Not to mention that we currently have a big publisher sign-up bonus as well!

There are many Ad networks you can check out. My personal suggestion would be Affle. When my previous company was reaching out for the same problem's solution, we came across Affle and we have seen results. I would recommend you the same. You can post a query on their website about your requirements. You could also give my reference if required.
I'm in need of the unlock codes for my Samsung Galaxy exhibit SGH-T599N ,the phone and sim are locked
Thank you Darrylcpt.....

Is there anyway to make a WIFI Direct connection on the 5GHZ band?

Hi everyone,
I'm part of a robotics club in my school, and we use wifi direct with 2 phones to communicate between the robot and the remote control. We found that at times there would be a big delay between an input and a response from the robot at competition. We're assuming it has to do with a ton of other teams all using wifi direct at the same time and crowding up the 2.4 GHz band. So we were wondering if there was anyway to use WIFI Direct on the 5 GHZ band with the Nexus 6P or possibly any other phone you know of.
Thx in Advance
Bump... Huge problem at Worlds (lost our first two matches), because between FTC and FRC, there are over 1,000 WiFi devices communicating (or trying to and failing) on just 3 channels!!! Matches were being won and lost on the whims of the team phones' Wifi connections, rather than which teams were actually better. Our team (FTC #10298) is getting two Galaxy S5s for next season and really wants a way to use 5Ghz.
Build jammers and win your match that way. Lol. All jokes aside, I don't think there is a way for wifi direct on 5ghz.
Just came up in my mind. No idea how much dev time you have left, but you could build something to control your drone/device using a cellular connection like 4g?
Googling "drone 4g control github" should help you out.
We are actually in the off-season right now. Unfortunately, we are only allowed to connect via WiFi-direct. However, there are no rules against rooting/custom ROMs, so if there are any ways to force it to use 5GHz through rooting, that would be great.

What problems exist in mobile ad networks?

Hi!
Working with an advertising network should be pretty simple, right? You launch your app, set up an account with the network, do a little configuration and watch the money roll in. Far away from the truth
Let'stake a look at the main problems you can face if do not use mediation
1. The Newbie Learning Curve: Implementing many advertising networks, all with unique conditions, offerings and configurations creates a major learning curve for publishers. If you work with multiple applications and high traffic coming in, the problem multiplies ten-fold
2. Lack of Specialization in Multiple Markets: It is really difficult to be efficient in the global market. Many ad networks are strong in specific territories. One solution is know where are your users coming from
3. Low Fill Rates: The loss of impressions equals loss of profit. Many advertising networks are simply unable to offer high fill rates due to their limited audiences
4. The Advertiser Reigns Supreme: Publishers don’t have the opportunity to negotiate for better bids. Once the advertiser makes a bid, the deal is done
To combat these problems, which is probably the biggest disadvantage of ad networks, publishers can focus on mediation solutions that enable them programmatically negotiate higher bids from buyers for each ad impression and let focusing on the most important, creating awesome apps
Have you tried ad mediation like Appodeal?
Tried it, can't say about all of the paragraphs mentioned above, but for now it works good for me, and actually better than AdMob itself, which I was using.
