[27th Mar 09 - Updated 1.2.1.0] MyGamerTags (xbox live friends status app)

Hi,
I've just finished work on an app for windows mobile that allows you to view the status of your friends on xbox live.
It's an actual app, rather than a web browser pretending to be an app, that shows an iPhone style list of all your friends gamertags. It allows you to see whos online, what game they are playing, what they are doing in that game, their gamer picture and gamer score.
Version 1.2.1.0
Features Added:
* Notification auto closes after 10 seconds
* Notifications have a button to take you to application for further details
* Application will notify you when a new version is available for download.
Bugs Fixed:
* Fixed memory leak
* Performance inprovement for scrolling
* Performance improvement to startup time
* Fixed problem with touch sensitivity on VGA devices
* Improved icon for VGA devices
* Minor tweeks
Version 1.2.0.0
This update adds an online notification system. Now when your friends come online you will get a Notification pop up to tell you whos just come online.
Features Added:
* Can run in background
* Auto refreshes GamerTags status, using configurable refresh interval
* Generates Windows Mobile Notifications when friends come online
* Notifications can be Enabled or Disabled
* Useability enhancements.
Version 1.0.1.2
Bugs Fixed:
Fixed startup bug, which occured on some devices
Fixed VGA QVGA display problem
Version 1.0.1.0
Features Added:
Trial mode added allowing users to test out the application.
The application requires .net 2.0, so if you are using anything thats older than windows mobile 6 you will need to download and install .net compact framework 2.0 or higher from Microsoft here
Attached is a screen shot. For more information or to download my app please go to my site: http://www.fehnerssoftware.co.uk

finally a gamer has the need.. just like me
thanks bud.. downloading it right freakin now.
Edited
ohhh wait...
i would have to see it in action before i spent a dime.. sorry mate

this would be really cool if i didnt have to buy. At least let me try it first, to see I its worth it. Funny the app store for the iphone have very good xbox friend apps all for free.

I've been dying for someone to develop a true WinMo app for XBL friends list. I'm excited to try it, but do wish there was a demo. will there be game stats and messaging integration?

Well I would suspect iPhone owners paid for it, so why not cough up- if you want it?

I'm going to have to agree with the "try before you buy" feeling going on here.
At least take a video showing how the app works on your own phone please.
Although this would be an awesome app, I have been looking for a program or script that sends me an sms whenever a specific friend is on XBox Live so I can join up, any one heard of something that does that?

Hi all,
Thank you for the positive response
I've taken on board all your comments and aim to produce a limited feature trial version, which will allow you to try it out before committing to a purchase.
I will post back here when I have made the updates.

Iphone people got it for free Micosoft stepped in and made the company give the application for free

ya i like that.. if you remember way back in the day the original xbox and orignal xbox live did that.. sent an sms, and IMed you on msn..

I like the idea of the app. But it doesn't seem to do enough for me to pay for it. I mean.. there are much more useful apps on this site(and others) for the ppc that are free.
I tip my hat to you sir. Nice looking app. You have inspired me to work on an open source version for myself.

Version 1.0.1.0 - trial mode
Hi again,
I have now updated my site with version 1.0.1.0 of my xbox live friends status app.
Version 1.0.1.0, will run in a trial mode while un-registered, so you can try it out. It is limited to displaying two gamer tags.
Hopefully this will give you a feel for the app.
For more information or to download my app please go to my site: http://www.fehnerssoftware.co.uk/mygamertags.shtml

Nice! I was waiting for something like this. Going to try it out.
Thank you!

I accidentally uploaded an early version which had a bug if you were using the app for the very first time.
The bug has since been fixed and a new version uploaded not long ago.
Are you able to try the latest version?

well my first dl was at 11pm cst.. also just re-dled same error

Hmm strange I know of a number of people now using this without issues.
What device are you using? Are you running this on a windows mobile phone?
Any chance you could scroll down on the details screen for the error so I can see the full call stack?

htc touch pro

Thanks for that.
It seems the way I get the devices unique serial number is not working for your device. I have an idea of how to get this working on your device.
I'll get working on it
Thanks.

I've put up a new level on my site which should fix the crashes on startup some people were experiencing.
Please let me know if it you experience any problems.
Thanks.

ok...
i did get this one to install and run...
however i have an issue.
you have it set to simply look up gamertags.. which is cool... however, I, like thousands of others, have set up my profile so that only friends can see if the person is online.
so genericly putting in gamercards wont work for me as i wont really know who is online..
unless the app can see its ME looking..
for example... I put in my gamertag.. and it said i was offline... but i wasnt, however if your not on my friends list.. i appear offline.
and i dont remember if it did or not, but i dont think it said what game they where playing.. again if you do fix it so i can see my friends online, if i cant see what game they are involved in.. its no good as well.
i gave you alot of negative, which is ****ty of me..
so i do want to say from what i can see it looks awesome.

[APP] Balanced - Silent USSD balance checker and typowidget XDA Beta

Hi guys! Fahrbot Mobile would like to invite Desire users to participate in our open beta of Balanced, an app that uses USSD commands to obtain useful info like account balance, number of free sms, minutes and traffic remaining.
It then silently parses the replies into beautiful minimalistic text widgets. We need beta testers on phones we dont have at the office, so please come and check out the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006487

awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Im glad you like it! We will have some very unique functionality after the RC in the commercial version.

Hello. After the update some days ago I can't add a properly working widget to the desktop. Just have the caption and nothing more. Before the update everything was ok. Is there any detailed instruction how to use Balanced now?

You might have to add the widgets again.
As for detailed instructions, we have decided not to include them as people never read them anyway.
What exactly do you need help with?

ftgg99, I sent a pm with screenshots to explain.

Thanks, ill look into it - but its a strange error that probably has something to do with your setup, because my own Desire HD is running the app perfectly.
I am on cm6 though...

I also use Desire HD with stock firmware but rooted. My friend has the same issue and also and Desire HD with stock firmware but not rooted.

Hi, could you please send me a logcat of the error? Please follow these instructions:
What you need to do is:
1. Download aLogcat from the market
2. Run aLogcat
3. Reproduce your error in Balanced
5. Go into aLogcat and pause
6. Use the share menu to send the resulting text either to [email protected] or via PM here at XDA
Thanks!

I dii it. Sent the log from zel***@gmail.com

New update - beta extended!

Beta has been extended again, please send us some useful logs and suggestions on improving the app!

i dont know why, but it keeps draining my credit by sending hundreds of message to the person i personally do with the same content. the only way to stop it is by uninstalling it. i set it to check my balance after every outgoing phone call and message, and also every time i tap the widget. but the concept and interface is superb, would like to see this problem solved

Mate, the app doesnt send anything. USSD requests dont cost you money. Your problem is something else entirely.
Or youre a troll/ the competition...

oh believe me, im not a troll, and i can't code for ****. i searched around too, and it looks like i'm the only one having this problem. anyway, maybe you're right, the problem is something else entirely but the reason I suspected the application was the problem is because the draining started when i set the widget up and ended when i uninstalled the application. i apologize if i tainted the image of your app in any way.

Dont worry, i wasnt offended, just tired of fighting an uphill battle.
Imagine getting hundreds of crash logs from people with no root trying to use Root Call Blocker. Then they send angry emails. Finally they leave 1 star reviews.
Anyway, this should cheer you up:

[RC]Fbook: Full sync working - will have pics up later tonight!

I will be uploading my rom very shortly. I believe this is the right section, I am not a dev yet....but the devs have said that ICS can't synch facebook from what I have heard and that it requires Haxsynch to work.
I don't have my contacts setup perfectly at the moment so I haven't got it to synch contacts properply, but so far it has synched something, it has synched all Calendar from facebook and messages and it is opperating the facebook interface within Android like on any other samsung phone
Can someone tell me a decent screen capture app for SGS running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 RC 3.0?
I also have all SNS accounts work, Twitter, Alternate email and even Server
Will be testing and adding up results soon. It's late here in Australia and I am preparing my ROM of ICS to be ready for Uploading here.
Thanks,
James

Interesting... You used romanbb's fix?
Btw ICS comes with screenshot capability iirc?

Screenshot.
volume down and power button press

Who is romanbb?
I am sort of new here:
Here is the details of my ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21463927#post21463927
Do you have to be an approved dev to a ROM in this section?
I have my thread up in general thats all

just a quick add to bump this cause I know I am very close now. Has anyone been able to get this to work? I have actually got full facebook profiles showing up in my contacts list along with all the details, phone numbers emails etc, the last thing remaining is the picture? anyone further ahead than this?

Facebook sync is working. Didn't realise that I had it going all along? All that was wrong was the permissions on the init.d script? You would think that the "fix permissions" command would actually work however it does not. I used Android Commander to change it cause it was blatantly obvious that it was wrong when the file icon looks different. Will have to give big thanks to the dev of android commander just for this alone

Thanks dude. Works like charm

Are you serious? I think I pulled those links to my first revision of the ROM. I havent even uploaded the fix for the sync issues yet lol. But I did do a complete pull of my system (systemdump) cause I had ran out of space….somehow removing apps didn't allow for more room? I would pull an app and couldn't put it back. I even pulled like 6 apps and then still couldn't put back the framework, so rather than reboot I just did a system dump and then dragged the 20mb of .so files that I added to try get facebook sync and several other things working and sure enough FB syn stopped working, but allowed me to put my framework back and get my phone online again. That being said I added back what .so files could have been needed and still no sync? Hmmm that means there is an .so file that I bet no one has even considered being necessary and it IT IS!
I now have to play a game of trial and error till I find out which one it is. I am contemplating restoring my system before system dump and then pulling a whole **** tin of apps that I would normally like or need and then keeping sync and then one by one pull files from libs directory until FB sync stops working. Then re-add all the apps I want back up to stock. That will give me a clean ROM to work with.

Mira - Smart Personal Assistant for iOS and Android
Unfortunately we don't see any reason to continue this project since Google Voice Search does a nice job. Furthermore there are many Siri clones in the Google Play Store, which do a better Job than Mira did.
Thank you for your support and interest. You kept this project alive a long time!

So what would you say this app brings to the table for the handful of digital assistants that have cropped up for Android? What are its limitations? I've played with Skyvi a few times, and it seems quite good for certain commands and interfacing with certain services (i.e. "Find information on this..."), but not so much on others (i.e. when I asked "What's the weather like in Washington D.C. it tried to find clubs in DC with the name "Weather" in it).

direct download link is on:
http://myfirstserver.bplaced.net/sara
*EDIT: @Aganar
Sara has a algorithm, which would split your question into: { weather | what | be | in Washington D.C. }
With this information it won't search for a location in Washington D.C. but for the weather in Washington D.C.
We'll include a weather and a location service soon.
*EDIT 2:
With this download "parsing package errors" won't be a problem anymore
*EDIT 3 (21. February 2012):
Version 1.1 is released!!!
Under the same link!
Changelog:
- Preferences Menu
- Update Function under Preferences Menu
- No crashes
- Learns your name (for example with "I am David")
- Can ask you for a confirmation (for example with "I am David" -> "?" -> "Yes / No")
- Better algorithm
- No need to restart after first installation

Release 1.1.1 is out, too !
You can download it with the known download-link or the update function introduced with 1.1
In the next release you are able to get your location and the weather information of your location or other locations.
Also you are able to access the download counter of Sara with a question !
This two functions are already programmed
More API's will follow.
Does anyone has an idea for more sentences or more API's ?

Hats off to your excellent trial and work.
Keep up the good work mate and make it more powerful than SIRI.

everythings fine!

☰ Prepay Widget ☰ Your Account Balance in Simple Widget Form ☰

Hello everyone! I am the developer of Prepay Widget, a small app that allows you to monitor your account balance through USSD requests.
You can find more info about USSD on Wikipedia, but basically these are short, SMS-like messages used by most GSM and some CDMA providers to deliver information
or control account services. The actual information comes to you in the form of popup toasts, which thids app hides and parses into widgets.
You can find the apps landing page on XDA at the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12348102
However, i want to stress that its important that we get some device-specific feedback, so please post in this thread if you have issues,
this helps me keep track of bugs and requests better.
You can use the Lite version of the app - it has all the functionality of the full version apart from automatic updates (not really that important imo).
As I haven't got one of these phones in my pocket, I need some testers to track down problems. Please, use this thread to comment or
suggest features. It is my belief that addressing issues is best done individually by phone, so if something doesn't work, let me know and I will fix it ASAP.
Market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.ussd.widget.lite
Debugging:
Please use the "Write to developer" item in the Settings menu to send logs. Enable debugging, reproduce your error and then send the logs.
Make sure you include a description - the more detailed the description the better.
Screens:

1.3.3.0
Added full Russian translation
Fixed many small errors from user logs
Fixed rare radio restart issue on some ICS buils

Too bad I am not on prepay otherwise I would gladly test your app. Nevertheless my compliments for your work :thumbup:

You don't need to be - your provider probably still sends info on thongs like free minutes and data or sms.

Hello, I have sudden problém with this widget!
It worked really fine but since yesterday it isnot able to retrieve my credit balance via USSD code, the number on widget is grayed and instead of capturing the message internally it invokes the queries as if called manually thus the message appears onscreen. This is ofcourse fashion which I don't want it to work. Any help please...
