I put my first app on the market. For some reason, Google Market doesn't let you download your own app. wth?
I'm asking that someone download it (or try to) to make sure it works. There were a few steps to do to get the app ready for the market and I want to make sure I didn't mess anything up (and that people can dl it!)
It's called "Prefix Code Finder" and has a blue telephone icon and the author is "smartapps".
It's listed at $1.00...all I ask is you to dl it for 5 minutes, test it and then you can return it.
And another weird thing happened after I published it; I can no longer get it on my phone. I load it, it says "Success" and I can see it in Manage Applications, but the icon to run is not to be found!! I turned debugging back on, tried to load it by running it from Eclipse and installing with adb. I tired both apk's; the publishable version and the one that I changed the debug to TRUE. WEIRD.
Please don't consider this spam and I really didn't want to post this, but I have no way to check to see if this is working.
Thanks
You are allowed to download your own app, trust me on that one, ive done it many times
Hmmm...I'll try again, but..getting a "Server error has occurred" still
Well, I can't wait. Only thing I can think of was that I imported this project vs. "making it from scratch". I'm just going to make a new app and copy all the files in...something got out of synch somehow...
Well, I redid the ENTIRE project from scratch, exported my apk and installed to market.
I still get a SERVER ERROR...can anyone please try to download this.....just see if you can pull it down, do a search or two and return it.
It's now called "Prefix Finder" has a red phone icon and the author is still "smartapps"
I just really need to narrow down if I'm doing something wrong with the app preparation or if it's Google Market.
Thank you so much
Only thing I can think of is that I don't have my bank account info in there yet; maybe that's causing the error...i just need another "body" to test it LOL

It is moist likely your app there has been a lot of people getting this server error
Edit: I just downloaded app works perfect

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'll make sure you get a free copy if you want it LOL
What sucks to me is making those images of the app; I'm a programmer, not a graphics artist. And since my data is on a hosted server, I can't get a picture of the output from the emulator. I would have to "hard code" some data in and then do the screen capture.
Oh well, off to get my next app up...similar to this one, but it's a Zip Code Finder.
Then I've got to figure out what to code next...
It be pretty cool if you could put looking for the area codes and zoos by city and state
Sent from my unrEVOked using xda app
So, a reverse lookup? I have considered that.
I'll have to look at the data first. Major cities could have a lot of area codes and prefixes. Not worried about the speed pulling from the hosted database, it's pretty fast; I'm just worried about a crapload of data to scroll through
But hey, thanks, I will probably do it as version 1.1 if I'm not getting 100 areacodes and prefixes for one city.
Yeah, not going to work. I just queried Columbus, OH and got 427 rows back! That would be a lot of scrolling if I did that many lines. I could send it back as "201, 202, 203, 215, 216, 217....", but that just might look ugly LOL
Yeah way top Mick Lol

Got the other app published...I still don't know why I can't install either of them...freakn' server error.
Don't know if you've tried this. Guessing you probably have, but I had got that error a few times before and I fixed by doing a reboot of the phone. Just an idea.
Didn't think about that...thanks!
I just ended-up running adb install
Well, I'm up and running and making "some" sales.
Moved on to licensing my apps (new and old). Once I get that ironed-out, I can start back with development, because we ALL know that's where the real fun is. LOL
Sucks being a programmer...no problems writing code, just not creative enough to come up with ideas that aren't out there yet...still in search of that "must have" app that sells 50,000 copies (yeah, I know...good luck ROFL)
i dont know how many of you have tried this and ended up in the same spot as me, but here is my issue.
i recently installed blacklight retribution from steam on my toshiba with windows 8 pro, and all went well in that aspect.
i launched the game and it brought up the normal window where it does all of its updating and everything.
i sign in and hit continue and this is where i hit my issue.
the game loads in full screen, like it should, but i only see a black screen.
after about 5 seconds, windows says it has stopped working and has to close.
this happens everytime that i try to open it,
anyone have any suggestions on what i can do to get the game running?
thanks
Have you done some searches or checked the Steam forums? The only thing I can think to recommend is to try setting Compatibility Mode (you may have to go into the SteamApps folder and set it on the EXE directly). This isn't really a tech support forum...

Hello,
I am writing this to help other newbies who may want to switch to Cyanogen for the first time on their Epic 4G. There were a few things I needed to do after to get everything working the way I liked and I figure this will save some people time.
What do I need to do prior?
There are many how-to's which will help but I had my Epic stock rom rooted so it was as simple as flashing cyanogen through recovery. Here is the link for a "how-to" root the stock rom if you wish to do it this way. It was the easiest way for me though the official guide says "Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9eaCtiS0Bo
Where do I get Cyanogen?:
You can download it here. I am running the 10.0.0 stable build.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Epicmtd_Info
I have no google apps:
This is a problem with any Cyanogen installation. Easy fix, download & install the gaaps package from the link below and your marketplace will be back.
http://goo.im/gapps
I don’t have Navigation:
Easy fix again, download the google maps app. Here is the app store link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5hcHBzLm1hcHMiXQ..
I don’t have voicemail:
While you can use any voicemail app I wanted the one I had on the stock rom. I linked the app below and your voicemail will be back as soon as you install it. You need to open the app after so that it will activate.
https://od.lk/d/MjRfMjc2MDY5MF8/vtt-sprint.apk
I am getting texts from 9016 every time I get a voicemail:
From reading it seems the stock rom blocks us from seeing these but they are in fact needed for voicemail to work. To fix this I used a free app called “RedList”. Simply add 9016 to the RedList within the app, change the settings to disable both notifications, and this will problem will be solved. Here is the app store link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5saW5ub3IuUmVkTGlzdCJd
Text messages no longer have separate colors for me and my recipient:
The stock android text display is white and I hated this after getting used to Samsung’s nice colors but luckily you can solve this in two ways.
(One) A theme manager is built into the interface section of your settings page. After searching through almost every free CM10 theme I found this one I liked. It does NOT touch too many things only adding a brushed metal look and displaying text messages how I wanted them. There are a few colors to choose from but I went with Blue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992980
(Two) Replace only the MMS app with one that is color coded. Please note that unlike the above, to reverse this down the road you will need to find a stock mms app package with an installer. This is good for people who are sure they want this and only wish to change the colors of the messenger, while the above is good for people who like to switch themes often being able to revert back at any second. Link for the colored mms app.

Morror: https://od.lk/f/MjRfMjc2MDY5MV8
Facebook pictures no longer sync with my existing contacts:
This is a small problem, but still one that I got used to having with the stock rom and wanted to correct. From reading this seems to be a problem related to later Android versions, not just Cyanogen. The fix for this is easy as well, search out a free app called “UberSync for Facebook”. I had the regular facebook app installed & logged in prior and UberSync logged right in, got the pictures, and updated my contacts.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.
I no longer have Swype:
Despite having the nice physical keyboard (the whole reason I got the Epic) I still got used to using Swype here or there. I don't think I will be allowed to link this file here but you can find it on "certain" sites.
Notes:
Despite reports that Bluetooth can be problematic, I use it daily with an earpiece and have yet to experience any issues. GPS & 4G also work great. If any links are broken send me a PM! I check my email daily.

Why are they so bad? The bring you right to the download and I won't be deleting these files from my dropbox. Much better IMO than dealing with one of those sites where you have to wait 45 seconds for a download link to appear in a sea of other spam download buttons.

Well...
No MD5/SHA1 to compare against to make sure you have a complete download.
People's dropbox tends to get too much traffic and the link becomes dead.
You basically cut out the original author(s) of the file.
Based off # 3: They could need the ad revenue, and/or want to track download activity if they're self-hosting.

I know this isn't directed at me, but the things I have on my box account are older things( Samsung Moment update tool), things I've done for myself, or things that I've found for other people. In other words, things many people don't care about.

#1 - I think more people are concerned with a working link, if they download the archive after and it somehow gets corrupted i'm sure they will just try again
#2 - Valid point though my files don't have a great enough of demand to warrant this. If this changes I will change my links.
#3 The only thing that wasn't mine with a dropbox link was the MMS app and I only mirrored it in case the original link were ever taken down. If it will make you happy I can include the original link as well. For the voice mail app, its simply the sprint one ripped from a stock rom.
Though your points are valid, I think you are sort of just being picky bud
Thanks for the VM download link. Only thing I want is task manager which I had installed on CM9. Is there stockish one that works for 10?
Try the flashable one from here

swype
I reinstalled swype 3 or 4 times with various upgrades and it would always "expire" and I'd have to figure out how to get it working again. I am running 10.1 RC5 now and it has a decent generic swype-ish virtual keyboard. The thing missing is that you can't finish your text and go back and fix any misspelled words by touching alternate suggestions. You have to catch them as they come up. It seems like at first I could still do that, but I can't figure out how to get the suggestions to come back up.
I'm over swype.

You need a different Kernel. I have been using didy's kernel for a while. You flash CM10.1 and then you flash the kernel. CM10.1 has its own kernel that overwrites what you flash. So when you update, i think you have to reflash the kernel. I haven't screwed around with it since I installed rc5. I think I did CM, then the kernel, then the big mem patch. I never was able to figure out how to update the radio. I always ended up with "no voice service" or worse.
There is a thread in the developer forum that has the links to the kernel downloads. I am running one from may 30 and haven't updated.

[KERNEL][CM10.1]Nitest Kernel for Crespo4G/Epic4G Modem with Voodoo Sound&Color
When you say you couldn't update the radio, you just mean the cell service radio, right? Not wifi? I don't have cell service on my Epic, so that wouldn't be a problem for me... just as long as the wifi radio still works
Also, what specifically do you mean by "or worse"?

Yeah. That's the one. I looked at my about phone and it said "didy".
I saw a thread about the nexus radio being hot **** and I fooled around with it. I got either "no voice service" or no nuthin. I was able to flash back to the regular epic radio. there is another thread that had all the flashable zips with different modems. luckily the epic one undid my stupidity - at least on my phone.

Thanks man, I'll give it a shot. CM10.1 is running pretty smoothly on my phone, but it could be better and battery life is not an issue for me.
I'll be sure to run backups before I do though :good:
Thanks
These tips helped - I just made the jump to CM 10.1, and although there are a few quirks it has been great. Your list really helped.
FYI, one thing I ran into was the auto-rotate didn't work. I followed the directions here:
http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/boot-el30-stock-from-sdcard.html
the first time, there was no change. I tried again (and calibrated like 6 times) and it worked.
Has anyone noticed the physical keyboard doesn't always work the same? In some places, you have to hold down shift or Fn while pressing the key you want (for example - hold shift while pressing A, rather then pressing shift then pressing A). It's not consistent - some inputs work like the keyboard did before. Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix this. Not the worst thing (I'm just glad I still have a physical keyboard), but I would prefer it work the way it did before, or if that's not possible, at least be consistent.
And the smiley face button on the physical keyboard doesn't work either. I mean, it's like 2005 where I have to type out my 's!!

I have noticed that the physical keyboard doesn't work right in the browser. Shift and Fn don't seem to work. I am usually in such a hurry that I just close it up and use the virtual keyboard if I want to have punctuation. It honestly didn't occur to me that it might be fixed. I can't offer that fix. I am just offering emotional support and validation.:good:

I noticed that the default browser you have to hold the shift or fn key while pressing the desired key to get it to work. Apps and os seem to work with a tap od these keys and then a hit of the desired key.I recall a while back a thread about the smiley and since it was not a default key the consensus was that they would not be adding the functionality to cm. While on the topic...same goes with the .com function.

I'm sorry i want to ask, how we modify system setting look in CM? Thank you..
Let me elaborate:
So earlier today I was messing around with Density Changer while going to Kingsville to see my brother. I was messing around with the DPI value, changing it from 480 to 420 and such. I changed it to 520 and, like normal, asked me to reboot. I rebooted.
The phone started up a lot longer than usual. I thought that this was just a simple glitch, but it took longer for a reason. The time and date on my lock screen wasn't working. Messaging, Contacts, Camera, Samsung keyboard, and the sort wasn't working. Worst of all, TouchWiz wasn't working either. In panic, I tried to open Density Changer from settings but couldn't. I reset my phone to the factory settings. It was rather quick to format (I didn't have much except for some PSP roms and gallery images). I was relieved for a bit, but when it booted it was still unfunctional, not to mention the keyboard still didn't work, so I had to skip a ton of steps. Since TouchWiz was still broken, I set the home screen to Easy Mode. When I looked around with Easy Mode, I realized that you can run apps there without it crashing. I felt so dumb. So now I can't log in to the Play Store to undo what I did, I don't have the app anymore, TouchWiz won't work, I don't even know if I can recieve messages, yada yada. I feel like I am so screwed.
TL;DR changed the DPI from 480 to 520, all hell went loose. did factory reset in panic, even more screw.
Does anyone know what I can do instead of sending it for repair? I don't think AT&T will be able to repair it anyways-- just to give me a new phone.

I appreciate that you want to help! It means a lot. But before I attempt this, does this change absolutely EVERYTHING to default? I think the reason why my phone got so messed up was because the DPI was too high. :/
Do you know what firmware you're on? And if you have a custom recovery did you make a nandroid before you started messing around? If you did, like you should have, just restore that.

MAKE SURE YOUR NOT ON THE MF3 UPDATE. IF YOU ARE DO NOT ATTEMPT.
If your running MDL or lower, then download the MDL package and flash it with odin. It will indeed make everything stock.

Odin
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23134718111253763
1. Place phone in download mode
2. Hook to computer via USB
3. Open Odin
4. Click the PDA button and place the MDL file you just downloaded there.
5. Click start.
The process will take a few minutes, so don't panic. Let me know if that fixed it.
Shoot, man. I'm on the MF3 update. I have root though, will that help with fixing it?

Hey, now. I almost have it fixed. I just need the .apk file for Density Changer so I can install it, paste "480" into the box and reboot. Would someone be so kind to do it for me? This laptop is a school laptop which has Fortinet as an antivirus and a website restrictor. I would do it myself but my parents are considering taking me to AT&T ASAP when I go back home tomorrow.
But, yeah. I should have read on. I know that bigger values made the screen smaller, but I guess the S4 goes crazy when that happens.

You can try using a root level file explorer to navigate to /system, long press build.prop to open with a text editor, find the following line and change it to 480, then reboot. Root Explorer or ES File Explorer will do what you need.

Keyboard doesn't work. I was almost going to do that until I realized it. I'm just looking around for any DPI changing applications that allow it to any number (LCD Density Changer only allows it to 280).
I would set it to 280 if I could handle the small-ass icons. I can't, so I'm not gonna bother with that.

The default MF3, yeah. Fixed it with www-57.zip-pysha-re.co-m/v/78538033/file.html (remove those dashes). I went on Google Chrome and used voice recognition to get 460, pasted it in the DPI box, applied it. Everything's good now.

God damn, man. You say it like you've never messed up something on your phone before. I know, I'm a **** for not reading if it was safe, but I'm almost positive you've messed up one way or another before?

Umm... Yeah Scott is a little grumpy when he sees things over and over again lol. I'm glad you were able to get it fixed.

Well, it's really not about messing up. What is done is done. It's about learning from it and not doing it again. I can tell you are on the right path because you are trying to fix it. You screwed up... a lot of people screw up...what is important is not doing it again. Always read as much as you can about anything before you try it. It's just a phone and it is always replaceable but you can save yourself a lot of trouble by reading before doing. Like I said, i think you realize that. I'm sure you don't want to go through this type of trouble again to just get the phone working. What you did (change the dpi) isn't a big deal but it has big consequences. I was mostly referring to people that that try to "root", put custom recoveries on their phones, custom ROMs, etc. There is so much information about these things in the XDA forums it isn't funny, yet people think they don't need to read and learn about it or they think their time is too valuable. But as soon as they screw up (and they always do), all of the sudden, they find the time to come to XDA and beg for someone to fix their phone. As soon as someone points out that they should have read and learned in the first place, they get a smug attitude and act like people "owe" them a fix for their stupidity. Like I said, not necessarily your situation, but it happens all of the time regardless.
**Edit**
I'm am glad you fixed your phone and is is encouraging to see how much work and effort you put into fixing it. It would be nice if everyone put that kind of effort into fixing their phones. I have a feeling you will do just fine with modifying your phone.
I'm using Firefox as my web browser and I use the following add-ons: Bluhell Firewall, Full Screen, and uBlock Origin. Every once in awhile, maybe twice a day my browser would open up without my permission and alert me that my battery has a virus and it insists that I download whatever its trying to redirect me to install to "fix" the problem. I tried using CM security and Avast, both dont detect any malware and I dont visit any suspicious looking websites where this may have gotten picked up from. Maybe I downloaded some APKs I wasnt suppose to if anything. Any idea what I can do to fix this?
P.S. Is it possible to root the Galaxy S7 Edge at this time or still no? Its been 2-3 months since I last checked.
This is just Popup and a really ****ing annoying one too.
Seen it many a times, Hijacks the Vibrate function too.
AdBlocker
And yes to rooting

I did mention previously I have ublock origin for an addon, are you suggestion to get adblock plus on top of it? I just didnt want to have two things conflict with each other or install more than necessary. (if you think I should drop the ublock in favor of it then ok)
If its not against the rules may I please have a link to a guide on rooting my phone? This is my first Android phone I've ever owned and I dont know the procedures in rooting. I've done jailbreaking on iPhones but I'm sure this is different.

Its a Add nothing more nothing less.
Ublock may block XYZ but its possible W may get through.
w = that advert you are complaining about.
Putting another Adblocker MAY work, But i also have a Adblocker and see this add slip through some times.
About rooting your device, Please search the Forum, this question is asked about 100 times per day.
It takes more effort to respond back A instructions or B telling the user to search.
Than a user just searching the S7 edge forum.
The content on this website is a Forum, its all kept for the reason other people will read and use the information. Please use the search feature, its just bone idle not searching and people are reluctant to help people who dont help them self.
I was just asking for a link to a guide so I can do it myself, not to be spoon fed step by step like you assume I'm asking. I only started browsing here around the same time I got a new phone and just want to assure I dont cause a brick by following an outdated or non-compatible guide.
If you dont want to link to a guide thats fine, I'll find what I need on youtube hopefully or just look elsewhere. Sorry to bother you.

Please take your ****ty elitist attuitude someplace else. I'm just asking for a link and your definition of spoon fed is fallible (you aren't on my end doing the work for me.)
Do everyone and me a favor and just piss off.
