The android market is going to HELL

Hi guys,
Have you noticed a huge increase in spam apps in the market lately? Apps from developers like Michael Quach, Virtualtechs or Simpaddico, which literally count in the hundreds even though they really are the same app: a list of facts or quotes, with next / back buttons.
Apparently they also batch upload new versions of their apps regularly, just to get them to the top again. I'm getting sick of missing actual, useful apps because every time I check the market I only see these apps. Isn't there something we users can do to get rid of market spammers?

Proabably
There should be a "REPORT" button, right now its not a whole bunch of chronic spammer devies, they can get rid of them right away. BUNCH OF them are just scammers tryin' to make a quick buck.

The problem is, taken independently those apps are not reportable. There is nothing wrong with a facts app, but there is with a developer releasing 100 of them. Yet I cannot report the developer, I can only report the app.

the biggest problem for me is the lack of search options in the market - unbelievable that google could leave it like that - there seems to be no intelligent search, no search by category or dev etc etc etc

Sorting options

Spam their email like they do our market

There does need to be some method whereby Google get notified if one developer uploads more than, say, 5 apps or they upload several at the same time and then someone at google has to physically examine them before they go up. That way these spam apps would be identifed as such and not turn up there.
I guess ultimately this is the price we pay for having an unrestricted market. At the moment it is still worth it to get the kinds of app that Apple would never allow but I think SOME control is needed.

This is where Apple's "managed" Store has it's benefits.

I would love to see a market proxy for rooted phones, allowing various developers and app categories to be removed from view. Regex pattern matching ...
I don't know if it's possible, but it would rock.

After using the Nexus one for a month, there are many aspect of iphone i think is superior to Android in general. There are some flaws on the iphone, but when compared to the N1 (or any android phone), it feel so much more polished.

and that's "polish" comes at the cost of locking you away with everything u should have access for in the first place

Actually, I think these scammers/spammers/out-for-the-money people are NOT the problem...And in fact, they're actually a show of proof of just how open-ended the Android Market is.
The problem is that Google (The Internet Search Superpower) has crappy searching/filtering for their Android Market.
Ironic.

Could you guys please contribute to this petition?

qft. all they need to do is add filters like ratings, downloads, etc. Then these apps wouldn't be a problem.

Exactly. The 'legit' devs should be pushing for this as well as it would make it easier for end users to find and buy quality product.

This is the exact reason why my Nexus One sat in its box for a week after receiving it. This is my first Android phone and coming from an Apple OS and a regulated app platform since the 2g was introduced, the marketplace had a very bad first impression with me. My N1 was bone stock and I experienced force closes on stock apps..I felt as if I was beta testing a device that was released too early. It was packed and ready to ship back. Then I decided to take another look and while 95% of the marketplace apps are pure garbage, IMO, the phone itself has its advantages which is why I choose the N1 as choice device as opposed to my 3gs in which I basically use as an ipod "with benefits."
Final thought. If the android market app regulation doesnt improve, it will fall..and it will fall hard.

+1 def would like to see this

This is a problem, and I do think Google should priorities this A.S.A.P. As this will discourage most Iphone to Android users. I don't even look in the new tab any more.

its not like google knows a thing or two about how searching should be done....

Do what I do...only download apps you know about. Get recommendations from sites like this one.

Email Samsungs Software Engineers About the FS/lag

Hey guys,
Here are the emails for some of the people responsible for the Samsung FW, as a community it might be worthwhile emailing said peoples and requesting nicely that they go to their higher ups and get the go ahead to fix the FS lag issue (RFS is bad ok!!!) and any other ongoing issues we are having.
If they receive a large amount of "interest", which I think they might, mayhaps they will reconsider rolling out the same polished turd of a system that exists in the 2.2 firmwares.
[email protected] - Madan Ankapura - Samsung Staff Engineer. Goto person for all technical issues related to Android within Samsung and interface for Google in the role of Technical Account Manager-Android.
[email protected] - Yanjun Huang - Smart Phone Product Strategy.
Let them know about XDA, Voodoo, the problems as we know it, and demand they fix the damn thing! At least we've had a go right?

Good thinking, it's about time this was done...
Hopefully someone can write up a good email... there are too many things to say that I'm not entirely sure I could articulate it...

I hope this doesn't result in them getting flooded with spam, that sure wont help the situation.
I think we should get a nice detailed open letter, that gets sent to them and the tech news sites. Posting it on the news sites should help get more attention to this, if the tech sites don't ignore it.
Sites like Engadget, Phandroid ect.

Nice one! *gets typing*

THEY DONT CARE
They'll probably say the device is functioning normally...

So you know for absolute certainty that, if enough people ***** and moan very loudly, there's zero chance of Samsung doing anything? Sure the outlook is poor - this is Samsung after all - but that outlook won't change if people just accept that the SGS is slow and that the phone's performance will likely degrade over time because of their ****ty filesystem.
Btw, if the answer to the above question is a resounding 'yes', could I please borrow your crystal ball?

Which android phones have no lag? N1? Desire? What FS do 'they' run?

I still think that the memory management is also important to prevent lag, I have voodoo lag fix 3 installed, yea the quadrant better score from 900++ to 1200++, but i still facing lag here and there. Then later i found this autokiller software, turn on the agressive preset, immediately the phone work smoother, quadrant --> 1700++. So i think beside the file system io important, memory management is very critical as well.

+1 to Facebook.. its kinda public so theres bigger chance ull get some results..! instead of personal emails..

To get high impact, we could encourage some related/regional forums to take part.
So first someone at xda would write the letter, we discuss and maybe improve it, then some of us who are members in those forums translate (if needed) and propose it there.

Well if they won't budge over the improved technical merits of other file systems - I'm not sure if they're as superstitious there as they are in Japan, but it might actually give some weight if needed, to mention you think it's very unlucky to be running the phone on the filesystem of someone convicted of murdering his wife.

Need help on app ideas...

I know people might not answer this, but what the hell, you never know.
I'm a programmer; good old fashioned programmer. That's what I do. I've coded in Assembler, PASCAL, RPG II/III, COBOL, C/C++, SQR (a DB language), Easytreive (mainframe), CICS (more mainframe), JCL (mainframe "language"), JAVA and now Android.
Currently unemployed due to crappy market and my location. I've coded a couple of apps and they are on the market selling, albeit slowly.
My problem is, I'm NOT creative LOL IMO, I can code the pants off anything, but I'm just not good at coming up with ideas. I think it's that "left brain, right brain" thing!
Anyone care to throw out some app ideas? Seems like I think of stuff, but it's "been there, done that" on the market. I have my own hosted site and ability to store 10 gigs of database data if that helps.
I'm not interested in doing games or themes or wallpapers (remember, NOT creative!) LOL

I'm new at coding and I have ideas coming out of my ears, so to speak, but I don't have the means (knowledge) to make them a reality. How familiar are you with the android sdk and APIs? I'm kinda new at this, having only released one app into the market. I would like the help of an experienced coder. Check out my website www.fufurinnovations.blogspot.com to see what I'm working on. Thanks in advance

I am looking for an app like Mail Tones for Blackberry that alerts you with a different tones for selected email contacts. By default the notification tone for all incoming emails is just one for all. I tried Mail Alerts but it is very unreliable. Maybe you like this idea? This is a very helpful app in BB since it lets you know when an important email comes up without looking at the screen. Weird that there is only one app in the Market and it just doesn't work.

And what about another app like a camera add-on that lets you level all your pictures using the inclinometer and allows you to take pictures having always the horizon line leveled.

Love this simple but effective idea!
posted direct from the legend that is the x10i... the fastest processor, the slowest response...

I need, and many android users will agree, that sms messages do not need to be kept forever. I want an app, an addon, an alteration whatever that deletes old messages up to a set time period... 7 days, 14 days, 31 days etc.
If I had a text from o2 highlighting the fab new offers I ignore it and 30 days later its automatically deleted!

I'd love an app that emulates the standard iPod USB protocols well enough to control my Android music player from my car stereo.

Theres a lot of people in a thread in this forum wanting a gtalk widget for android....and willing to pay for it.

I actually thought that the app called Theodolite was going to do this but it was actually a triangulation app. In any case, it comes with an inclinometer that allows you to measure the angle of the camera in x and y. It has a measurement of angles kind of like the vision from Terminator, very cool, but then if you take the picture, those measuring things stay in the picture and the picture itself comes out at a lower resolution so it is not really a photography app, its a measurement app. It could be cool to have a bip once you get the camera/phone leveled with the horizon line.
Cameras nowadays don't come with this feature? You can then sell them the program...

you can help me out with my music app im only decent at concepts

How about an app that is able to identify if someone in the area is running android and to be able to strike up a gtalk convo via invite. idk if that'd be possible.

WOW! Thanks to all the repliers (is that a word? LOL). Oh my, there's an idea right there for my database space...a dictionary or thesarus!
Some very, very good ideas out there and I DO appreciate them very much. I can definitely see 2 or 3 apps that I can start working on.
Keep the ideas coming and I'll get my fingers going on development of some of the replies up to this point.
Thanks again!

One app i really think is missing is a good working RSS-reader which makes it possible not to juggle between the RSS-reader and a browser.
An example would be a super simple reader like Google Reader that can open up the posts in background inside the reader, having the same possibilities as a browser.

I am tired of HTC sync not working right with custom roms. I need something (app or software) that will sync my pc Outlook contacts and calendar with android phone. There is a need for business people that want to use their android phone for business! IMHO

i have many great ideas, but im not a programmer...my only problem with you is that you seem to want people to GIVE you their ideas...like recently, i had someone develop a clock widget for me in which i provided the graphics...we are splitting the profits 50-50...so maybe if you could make an agreement like that or a 60(you)-40(me) agreement then i might be able to help you out...and you could help me

Yes, I guess I should have mentioned that ...my bad.
Of course I would be willing to split profits on a joint-effort project. And, I'm terrible with graphics design and the like. And sometimes, the user interface can make or break the applications (people like "Wow, cool" or flashy app interfaces).
I'm more of a "meat and potatoes" guy; input your data, get info back LOL
So yes, I'm willing to pursue a multi-person project as I think it's beneficial to both parties, not only monetarily, but the possibility of learning from each other.

[Q] A few questions

I have a few questions about the honey comb.
Does it have swype?
How many applications are ready to be used on it?
Also about xoom..
Can we connect an external keyboard to it with bluetooth or usb port?
How is the overall experience?
Can it replace a laptop?
Thanks~

1. Not yet
2. Less than 50 I would guess optimized for Honeycomb. It just released a week ago so we will see many more at time goes on. Many of the existing phone apps work.
3. Yes. Motorola sells a BT one for Xoom. Check their accessories page.
4. I love it and can't keep it out of my hands.
5. Depends on what you plan to do with it. The browsing and email experience are fantastic.

Is it easy to type on it? like written chat on for instance gtalk?
so a lot of the phone apps r working on honeycomb?
Idk why I had heard otherwise!

I have another question. Does the tablet android have multi-tasking?
For instance, can you video chat and minimize it browse facebook alongside?
This is not possible on android phones and is important in my decision of getting xoom.
Response will be appreciated~!
Thank you

Please watch one video on honeycomb or read one review...it will give a lot more answers and it will be a lot quicker than asking really easy to lookup questions over and over.

I don't know about you, but when I hear about a product my first thought is not to rush to a forum to have people tell me about it.
I don't have any issue helping anyone out, but you need to do a tiny amount of work yourself before deciding to post three posts full if questions...it's just a couretsy to others.

if u didnt have a problem u cud have taken a minute to answer the questions instead of writing BS*!
And I wanted to know from a user..who is actually experiencing xoom hands on.
And please stop writing on my thread now!
PeAcE!

While I agree the OP should read a review or two, I think he would have walked away with basically the same questions. I haven't read a review that talked about Swype or specific number of applications. Besides, he wants "real world" reviews not some engadget or phonearena crap (nothing against the websites as I read them everyday, but their reviews are a waste of time, esp the XXX vs YYY ones, but that's a whole other thread).
@OP
1. The Xoom can not currently use Swype, but you can get SlideIt. I use it, it's not as good as Swype, but will last me until Swype releases a version for the Xoom.
2. There are not that many apps for it. Keith is correct (<50). Most phone apps do work though.
3. Moto sells a bluetooth keyboard, but you bring up a good point, I dont know if a USB one would work with a converter. Maybe I'll have to give it a try.
4. I love the overall experience. Yes, it's a little glitchy and there aren't many apps, but it does everything I want it to and then some.
5. I agree with Keith here as well...it depends. However, I will say that I attended a board meeting last night for my building. I am secretary and usually take notes with my netbook. I did last night with my Xoom and it was great. I also have a "real" laptop, and I don't think it would ever replace that, but I think it could replace my netbook.
My $.02, go to costco and buy it. It's definitely worth trying out for 90 days.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! You have been a great help..
And I did go through some reviews and videos on youtube beforehand for honeycomb, some for xoom and g slate.
Just one last question that I think you didn't see, was about the video chatting and multi-tasking?

confirmed. you can switch apps while using video chat. I didn't specifically open facebook, but i did use CNN, market and the browser. it does, however, turn off your camera, so it's no longer a video chat (the other party sees a black screen). you can continue to talk. when you come back to the chat, it does automatically turn your camera back on.
hope this helps!

Yes it does. Thank you so much. I highly appreciate it.

[Q] Having Difficulties with android BROWSER

Hi, I just got my samsung galaxy tab 10.1 one week ago. Having fun with this awesome tablet. Very fast and interesting tablet. FANTASTIC!!! However, I have some difficulties using the default browser. When I was surfing Xda forum or whatever forum which contain a long page and have a lot of stuff, my browser started to get lagging. When i was trying to scroll down, the browser was lagging for while then started to load the page again. The browser was slow and is incomparable to ipad2. I was not trying to praise ipad2 or what, i just simply get upset with the performance of the browser =(((( ..you guys have any idea about this problem? Any suggestions for me to improve the browser performance??
CHeers.

Try to scroll down to bottom and change to Xda Classic in the drop down.

Yeah, that's true, but the same happened to me with the Asus TF.
I was reading on Xoom's forum that Honeycomb 3.1 update have better browsing speed and scrolling, also the OS UI overall. It's matter of time if someone reports better results with XDA 2010 mode under 3.1

I am also having a strange issue. Ever since I browsed XDA I will now see page artifacts left over show up randomly from the forum on other sites. For instance, on a google search result when I scroll I will see a large square chunk of the XDA page for a second. I have tried clearing browser cache, history etc... any thoughts?

This is a known issue. Once we have root we can replace the browser with the browser from the Xoom.

I wanted to love this tablet but seriously the bugs make this thing crappy. The browser issues are bad. Dolphin works but tweaks out from time to time. Add in the wifi and disappearing status bar issues. Makes me wish I had sold this puppy. So unhappy with this thing. Really disappointing. Glad it was free.

Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

I haven't been having much problems with my tablet other than the time change issue which was fixed using someone's apk to unlock the automatic time. I too have a few issues with the browser occasionally, especially scrolling in XDA but you just have to be patient. Sometimes scrolling will stop working but I just close all my tabs and re-open and it's fixed.
I'm extremely surprised at the fact that some people are upset at the fact that we got a tablet that is not even publicly released yet for another month and it has bugs. YES, the unreleased tablet has bugs. It was mainly given out at a "developers conference" to DEVELOPERS to develop for. I am absolutely happy that they gave us these devices so that now the people whom want to develop applications on a tablet device are now able to test and debug on an actual device other than the emulator which they admit is not-so-good.
It's almost upsetting that people are so easily selling these on ebay just to make a quick buck and chance the fact that google may stop (but probably won't) giving out these sorts of devices to developers in the future developer conferences.

I wouldn't have a problem if it was just a few bugs. Or even bugs that didn't stop daily use. However I have probably an entire page of bugs and issues with this thing and I haven't done anything fun to it yet. I can only go maybe a day or so without restarting it.
Maybe I sound ungrateful and I shouldn't be. But my frustration at this thing is unpalatable. I hope that Samsung fixes these issues and soon. Because to me this thing is almost unusable and I am certainly not going to develop on it until something more stable is available.
I also don't understand the decision to announce 3.1 and then a few minutes later give everyone a device with 3.0 and tell us a competing device will get 3.1. WTF?! In what meeting did that sound like a good idea?

I'm sorry to hear that you're having so many problems :-/

This right here is what I was extremely confused about when they had the whole keynote section about 3.1 and then we go down and pick it up and it has 3.0 on it. I was like whoa whoa, I don't understand what is going on here.
