I don't understand the DSI stuff so I've been trying to port the overclock modules to use symsearch for our kernels. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1210819 Maybe nadlabak would know if this bug is related.

Just an FYI, I bought this case from Best Buy:

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinu...lack/2953042.p?id=1218367096955&skuId=2953042

It is the same as this case from Seidio:

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hr3lgthr-bk.htm

It is very minimal and provides basic scuff protection of the device. This means I can set it on a table, counter, etc without worrying about scratches. The holster is also great. I bought it for $29.99 yesterday but I see online that it lists for 34.99. This is still much cheaper than the $49.99 from Seidioonline.com

I highly recommend this for anyone who likes the case/holster combo and prefers a minimal amount of thickness.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Neo84:
Hi there,

as we all know there are issues with the volume/audio gain on our HD2 with WP7 which can be partly cured with the cab fixes or via registry.

One problem for me is that the music player via headphones is sooo quit that I have to raise the overall volume to >25. Normal notification sounds and stuff are way to loud then even with the above mentioned volume fixes.

Is there any fix to equalize the music sounds and the overall volume? I like to listen to music in the car via the headphone jack connected to my radio but I do not like navigon yelling into my ear much louder than the music ^^.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Neo

[HTC Sensation] irtiza.nazar:
Hi,

I'm using HTC Sensation, and can't seem to receive incoming calls when 2G data connection is active. Same goes for SMS messages. As soon as the "E" sign goes blank or if I disable mobile data, the calls start coming through.

I've tested this out with SIMs from other networks as well. Problem persists with them as well.

A little research shows DDTM (whatever that is) needs to be disabled. HTC Sensation has no such setting, the closes it comes to is "Enable always on mobile data" which is disabled on my phone - still having this problem.

After a little while of continuous mobile data use, the phone gets hot (as expected) and the battery starts to drain real fast.

Aren't incoming calls supposed to interrupt mobile data connection to host calls?
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
No, with edge you can't have data & calls at the same time. People should automatically go to voicemail if you have an active data connection (actually pulling down/sending data).

As far as I know, a call has never interrupted my data while on edge, back before 3G
[HTC Sensation] irtiza.nazar:
I don't think that's true. I had Hero before this one and data used to be on all the time, it always got interrupted in the event of an incoming call. Hell that's the default behavior on any cell phone from Nokia to Samsung. Even Galaxy S 2 does it!
[HTC Sensation] irtiza.nazar:
Could it have to do anything with permissions?

Was wondering, is this an application-related thing? Specifically if an app doesn't have the "Read phone state and identity" permission, and uses mobile data, it won't interrupt itself when an incoming phone call comes in.

Just an idea.
[HTC Sensation] xnifex:
it may have been connected but not sending/receiving. If you're sending/receiving data (active connection) at the time that a call comes through, then it will get bounced to voicemail.
[General Marketing & SEO] the_main_app:
Hi, I'm a new app developer and I recently published my first app on the android market. Unfortunently I'm not getting any downloads besides those from friends. I've tried posted in app development forums like this one but that did not create an downloads. I also tried running an admob campaign and that did not create any downloads. I've been reading through the forums here and at other sites and it seems people won't download unless you have reviews and other people downloading. If others won't download because no downloads then nobody will download. I would really appreciate any advice. I'm not expecting or hoping for 10000 + downloads but I was hoping for at least 5 downloads since it's been almost 3 weeks now. Thanks for the suggestions.

Few words about google play app pronotion

Empirically, I determined that a new application has to be seen through search Google play. Search is all that we have without money for a marketing campaign.

Therefore,application should be optimized in the following order:

Application name in google play. This name may be different from the name displayed on the desktop device. The application name contains 30 characters, they should contain the main application keywords.

Description of the application must be clear and also contain keywords.

Attractive icons are very important.

The application must be beautiful and functional. No need to buy a device for $ 300-500 and install an ugly app. People want a beautiful application.

Publication of forums mentioned above.
[General Marketing & SEO] Cubeactive:
Well if you don't mind paying for installations try appbrain. It features an option to pay per installation, for a small number of installations you can go as low as 0,20 per installation. They only allow to promote free apps though, and if your income is from ads you will probably not get your money back.

Other options are going to forums and telling the users about your app. Or contact review blogs. Appeggs usally posts good apps, or try app of the day blogs. But make sure your app is ready for the big public or else you might just end up getting bad reviews,

So keywords actually do stuff then? I only tried it in one app, I didn't tell anyone I built or released the app. Not even one or two people and admittedly it has had 200 downloads.

I thought it didn't really do anything. Think I have to add keywords to all my apps descs now.

Advertising is one option, the other is to advertise your app on various forums, facebook groups. Making youtube video is also a good practice. It avoids you negative reviews as user has already been aware of all app features.
[General Marketing & SEO] Yordi Pauptit:
First of all, I want to say that I have no experience in promoting Android apps. But I did some work in promoting websites for businesses, and I can suggest some things.

Key is a having a functional app. If users download an app which is half done and has disabled functions because they aren't done yet, they are going to uninstall it. Second suggestion, a great design is makes a difference for a lot of people whether they're going to install it or not.

When you have both those things, you can get on with actually promoting the app. I would search for an SEO copywriter to get the description for your app. SEO copywriters are specialized in optimizing texts for Google. And I would look into advertising on Facebook. I think you can actually promote your apps, and advertise only on phones. This way your advertisement will only be showed to people who are using Facebook on their phone. User will probably more tempted to install the app.

App promotion

Thanks for all the interesting links and posts on app marketing ideas. We're a new app developer & in the same boat.

It seems that App Store Optimisation along with submissions to as many review sites as possible are good starting points. We started looking at pre launch strategies as well focusing on building up some marketing steam.

Check out pre apps. It's a pretty interesting idea. We also submitted to any app dev competitions and as many journalists as we could. Paid reviews are worth a look at as well if you can scrape a few 100 bucks together but make sure the site has traffic

[General Marketing & SEO] deklineZero:
Thank you for this, I was seriously thinking of running an admob campign, but as I suspected (from you experience) this wont generate downloads, if your not already a well known brand.

My app has been out 6 months now and I'm still struggeling. It got a great logo and artwork on play store, the app is beautiful and it works like a charm. But it still wont cut it and I'm starting to run out of ideas to promote it, hence I started to think admod was the next step. But as an independent developer its hard when you dont got any budget to speak of.

What's your take on review sites, alot of them seems kinda fishy?

You can try to exchange reviews

Android marketing is very expensive right now, so why not a review exchange?

androidki[.]com

Androidki is a exchange review web totally for free, your app can be reviewed by the web authors and also by other users in the web.

Also reviews are schema.org standarized so the reviews will also appear on google results :)

Best of luck, and always try to save your money!

[General Marketing & SEO] fivephones:
Create a campaign (which not means admob)

By my experience you need prepare your "campaign" before publishing your app on Google Play, to start every possible channels at once. This can create a "snow ball" effect and help with startup your app.

Your app will be 30 days in New App category, there you have a chance get place in top positions.

At the same time try:

1) ask all your testers, friends, family to download and rate your app

2) create a interesting/funny video on Youtube, send it through Twitter, Facebook to your friends and ask them to share

3) create "press release" with all important informations and uniqueness of your app, send it to Android App related servers

4) short info about releasing the app put in all posible announcement forums

5) keep tracking of published info and reviews and put them back to twitter/facebook/...

During the first 30 days you can get some downloads, everything after that will be much harder.

Goog luck.

Hey guys, I posted before in this topic about our guide (http://www.technewscentral.co/how-to-promote-android-app/) and how my site also offers a review service. We usually charge $15 per review but I thought I’d drop the price to just $10 for XDA members who say FROMXDA in the contact mail.

We’d review your app on our technology news site , feature it on our site and our social networks plus provide another status update in the future should you update your app (up to three months after original review)

If you’d like to claim this XDA only offer just send an email to martinberisford[at]technewscentral[dot]co and ensure you give us details of your app, social media links, play store link and make sure your email includes the words ‘FROMXDA’ for your $5 discount.

OK but you should stick to the android app design guidelines: use the holo look and functionalities as much as possible.

Personally, I find applications which have their very own interface (even if pretty) to be unpractical (and they are often slower and bigger because of the additional resources they need).

I've just released my app too you can find it in my signature.

I don't get much download for a start but I bite the bullet and spend $100 on appbbrain. Planning to spend another $200. I am sure I'll recover them in several months but for now I think it's important to get the ball rolling.

I think it's much better than Admob because downloads are guaranteed. But the price has gone up a lot. From the old posts, people said you get get downloads for $0.20. I can't and I have to increase it to $0.60 and still I don't get much download. Now I set it to $0.85 and I start getting like 20 to 40 downloads per day.

Try several countries and target a few that do well. Try the US, or European countries if you are trying to earn from Admob in your apps.
