[Q] EAP Where is NI?

So, I don't know how many of us EAP people there are up here but is it just me or has NI just gone completely silent? I can't get any replies from them, they aren't updating their blog, nothing. Anyone having any better luck than me at contacting them? I wan't our update already.

I don't know, I was part of the most recent pre-order, and it's rather odd, no updates, nothing. It was supposed to ship by the 14th (3 days ago, now) and no updates on their website, nothing on the blug, no emails. Odd indeed.

The same here - status is "Shipment under process" but nothing happens. They should explain there delays but are gone kinda dead.....

They are still there. I ordered a PQ 3G wifi on Feb 15 and was due to ship on Mar 14. Received an email on Mar 15 giving me the option to downgrade to an LCD or cancel my order with a ship date of 3 days later. I probably should canceled, because I don't have faith in NI anymore, but I want my Adam.

I don't think you can call it EAP anymore. I have concerns with NI and now they have gone quiet as far as public goes. Still no SDK is also a concern but they are working on Honeycomb. The issue is that the SDK should have been release. Also where is the App store? I think they are changing the way they are going to do business and looking at the product and process as a whole but that is just my guess.

Well so it ships from the manufacturer to the warehouse where they assign the tracking info and shipping labels, then it ships to another place where it get put on a plane. I didn't get my shipping notice until about 5 days after they said they were shipping. But the cool thing was it arrived at my door 5 days after that.
Also they might be abandoning their own market in favor of Honeycomb.

Yes but why is it taking so long? I was told back in late January early February that EAP would have an update 'soon'. I've emailed them over 5 times in the past two or three weeks and heard nothing back so far. The blog has gone for over two weeks without an update again. I'm about to root and start tinkering with stuff.
For those with EAP1, what is you're build number? We aren't supposed to have the same as everyone else right?

Staying on the supposed focus of the thread ... What are you trying to do? I gather it is connect to an 802.1x EAP network.
You need to know the following:
EAP Method (e.g., PEAP)
Phase-2 authentication (e.g., MSCHAPv2)
Whether you need to enter a CA Certificate of if the server will assign
Identity: usually your [email protected]
Anonymous identity (sometimes leave blank others require 'anonymous')
Password
Then hit CONNECT.
This only works on Android 2.2+ as Eclair was deficient in this area.
Does this help you?

....no. EAP - Early Access Program. The group of 200 (and EAP2 with around another 200) developers who got an Adam back in December so that we could develop our apps. For the past month and a half I have not been able to get a response from the EAP people. (Yes I am an EAP developer). So I'm basically asking if anyone else has had recent contact from them, seeing as

AdMob not updating

Hello,
For the last 24 hours my admob was not updated. I did not get any impressions at all.
Do you have this problem too?
Thanks

My friend around the world all have the same problem.

Yeah, I'm experiencing the same problem. It has happened before too. It should get fixed soon.

Yes, I have this problem too, so it's good that I'm not the only one.

Thanks for the responses! Good luck for all !

It's updated for me now.

Admob
I think Admob is having problems and all are experiencing it. However, I think for sure Admob people will update to solve the issues. Cheers!

no, what's problem

my admob doestnt show any request at all for last 60 hrs.but google play console have seen downloading(15K-20K/day) apps.it is worry about this .plz help me i m new on admob

Lol how can u be new to admob when u have 20k downloads of your app. Did you bought it or build it ?
Sent from my LG-E975 using Tapatalk

Similarly. Also Google play developer console

My Admob stats have been updating, but very very slowly. Yesterday my revenue was about 1/3rd lower than the amount I was averaging daily for all of March.
My RPM is usually about $2.90.. But today it's getting worse and worse by the hour.. now at $1.61. My number of impressions have also gone down from the usual numbers I see every day.
Another thing I noticed:
- All my Google Play Store app download numbers had taken a beating yesterday. Not sure why. This may contribute to the low Admob impressions and revenue, but doesn't explain low RPM.
- My iOS app download numbers did not get affected (this is the only good news), but AdMob impressions and RPMs are low.

AdMob Interstitial Ads Delay

Hey guys, im having an issue with admob interstitial ad.
When I exit the ad it takes 1-2 seconds to go back to the app. Usually in other apps or games, it goes straight to the app upon pressing X or pressing Back.
Any reason why there is a delay and any fix to it?

Check your onAdClosed method in the class implementing AdListener. Are you doing something CPU intensive there? If you post a bit more code, we might be able to help.

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it.
At the start of the battle the full screen ad is loaded but not shown. Once the player dies, the full screen ad pops up fast which is good but takes 1-2 seconds to get back to the app once its closed.
Here is the full code, that's all really.
void Start(){
AdMobAndroid.requestInterstital( "ca-app-pub-*********************" );
}
public void OnGameOver(){
if(AdMobAndroid.isInterstitalReady()){
AdMobAndroid.displayInterstital();
}

The code you posted only shows how you are loading the Ad and showing it. Are you doing anything when closing it? May be you are switching scene right after the Ad is closed, and its taking time to load the objects in memory.
I will cede ground to someone more experienced in Unity 3d though. I have just begun getting my feet wet in it.

I am not doing anything to close it. Seems like AdMob does that on its own.
Not sure if Unity has a function for onAdClosed().

I am also using prime31 plugin. They were no help, and told me it's AdMob that I have to contact.

Work for me

Hey I also use prime31 plugin for admob but I have no issues like this. try to update your prime31 plugin. It is certainly not a problem from prime31 or admob. if you can post your code here I can help.

don't depend on Admob
I got the same problem too but everything is normal 2 days afterwards (strange though). But the incident made me wonder: "should I always depend on Admob?".
So I decide to combine several Ad networks. It works. And I realize something about Admob:
Pros: It is reliable and has huge users database. Admob is backed by Google - a prestigious corporation who tracks every steps of anyone who use its service.
Cons:
- Its eCPM is low (I don't know exactly why but everytime I try another Ad network, they outperform Admob in terms of eCPM. I guess that Admob know it has advantages over competitors when it comes to reputation and users database, so It charge advertisers and publishers more)
- Its ban users more frequently. (Some of my friends' accounts got banned because Google thinks they was cheating, while infact he didn't. It was very difficult for him to reach Google support to recover his accounts).
after combining Admob and with Airpush, Leadbolt, StartApp, ChartBoost, I end up with Adsota - a lesser known ad network. Adsota is an has much higher eCPM, 100% fill-rate, variousa ads format, and swift payment. You can find it by googling "ads.appota".
Best of luck, mate!

Chartboost - is a good ad network?

I need to choose some good network to monetize my app, and i want to try Chartboost. Do you have any experience with it? Does it pays well, on time and without hassle? And of course what eCPM do you have with it... Waiting for yours recomendation.

Last time i used ADmob, but soon i was banned there and wanna find alternative...

Hey Andrew
Did Admob give you a reason why you were banned ? Most ad networks (I work for one) have similar content guidelines and policies. There is a chance that if Admob banned you for some content violation, other ad networks also might do so.

Chartboost quite good for Interstitial, always pay on time. Ecpm is very high at the beginning but it will down later.

Chartboost always my first choice for ads networks, reasons:
- easy to integrate, they have complete plugins for all platform, we don't need third party plugins
- I like the dashboard, many information we can drill down
- from eCPM perspective...sometime good ($10)...sometime bad ($0:crying....mostly average ($0.8 - $1.5), but i think this happen to all ads networks, sometime they got big client with big budget and the other day they got client with tight budget, that's life...:angel:

I would reccommend Chartboost, super easy to implement also

Chartboost problems!
Hi guys...seems that chartboost have a lag today or something else, but i have a little bit problem with it...It just shows the similar intersitial ads in my game every time. I try to make 10-15 impressions and all time i see only "Game of War". Then i just reboot my game, and see, what do you think? "Game of War" of course 10 times in a row. Then i wait a hour. And try one more: i seen an 25 impressions with game "Solitaire". It's a little bit strange, coz yestarday it deliver every new impression with new game ads. Today it always the same. Did somebody have a problem like this?
Maybe i will create a thread in this section, to generate more useful answers.

Normal there

Hey, I think I have come acrossed the same questions before. my publisher manager said that, that is because there is only on ads in your country, so the ad will be only show one game.

Try out Supersonic - Click Here and sign up, integrate our SDK and we will award you with $200 for Christmas. :angel:

Have heard nothing but good things about them.
However, there are many other options out there that may be better for your geos/genre, a list of which you can find here: Thalamus.co
It's used more on the UA front with data on average CPIs + Install rates by genre/platform/country, but should give you a good sense of their eCPMs to see which others you can throw in the mix.

Is ZTE Service App safe or malware?

Hi,
I have an EU Version with software B03. If found malware alerts in the handserivce.apk (ZTE Service):

https://www.virustotal.com/de/file/...d76695d7b18af3655bae8142/analysis/1475338094/
Is this a false alert or true?

I have been informed that handservice.apk is a proper zte system app that gives a false positive on anti virus software. It is not malware!

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8ZWo7aiw_klUkNQLTdNQmNFUUU/view?usp=sharing

Thanks. I'm taking a look at it.
As for ZTE saying it's a legitimate app, well, that's not worth much
http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlab.../zte-score-m-scores-a-backdoor-vulnerability/
Aside from that, they've caught a bad wrap from at least the U.S., though I can't tell if it's just because the gov't is scared of China's economy or if there's a real security concern... except for that link above:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2012/oct/08/china-huawei-zte-security-threat
http://www.reuters.com/article/us-trade-eu-idUSBRE94H03J20130518

Well I looked at some of the web addresses from the virustotal details as well as the permissions it detailed. Then decompiled in apktool and looked around. At this point I'm not a programmer but it looks like an app that has bits and pieces to talk with Alibaba, Baidu, umeng (some Chinese analytics company), and maybe a few other places. Some words refer to OTA so I assume it's some sort of updater app with some bloat for analytics and advertising companies.
Regardless, a security expert would have to see what it really does. I mean, I'm still suspicious when 30% of VirusTotal scanners detect something goofy. I mean- if it's legit and safe code I would probably not want to generate false positives because it would at least mean I'm writing poor code.
I'd probably contact ZTE though, from what I've read in their forums, their answer so far is "it's an app from us." Well, duh. That just reminds me of Tommy Boy where Chris Farley says something about putting a guarantee on a box "all that says is it could be a guaranteed piece of s**t!"
Anyways, if you're really concerned you can always submit it to antivirus companies or your government's information security response departments. Just Google to see if your gov't has one. It's simply a matter of uploading or emailing the file to them and they'll look at it.
The fact that it's installed on consumer telecommunication equipment from a manufacturer is kinda significant. Like, if I was ZTE, I'd be contacting av companies to request removal of the signature that's detecting my program as suspicious to request that it be whitelisted. That's what's odd about the whole thing.

update: I've uploaded the file to
https://malware.us-cert.gov/MalwareSubmission/pages/submission.jsf
as well as ESET
https://www.eset.com/us/support/con...ownload-install/other-download-installl-issue
Just because I had some time.
Looking at your 1st detection links from what I can tell the suspicious parts are that it sends your IMEI number to both rma.zte.com.cn and 210.51.195.23 (Alibaba) from their logcat file.
V/empty ( 1326): ====GET http://rma.zte.com.cn/rmaPhone/checkImei.app?imei=<phone's IMEI ID>

The animations in that one link which shows a simulation of the user interaction looks like you type the IMEI in and then must click send before it does. If this a customer service app from ZTE it's probably intentional. I'm guessing that's why it looks fishy. Still don't know why they'd send your IMEI in plain text and also to Alibaba (the Chinese version of Amazon). Maybe they handle their returns through Alibaba for European countries and the US has its own thing going on since they've got some separate agreements in their US offices.

UP :
Since the backdoor AdUps has been discovered on BLU phones, but IS INSTALLED on chinese phones from Huawei AND ZTE, can someone check this out? I'm far from having the capacity to check that for myself.
