how stupid am I? In order to achieve the "Are you mad?" phonechievement, I uninstalled 50 apps. Until I realized that one of them was the phonechievements app haha
[Android Apps and Games] MrxSiN:
lol. i cant imaging how u fell after finished uninstall all app.
[Android Apps and Games] slimjimz81:
hey i made my donation but where is the board?
[Android Apps and Games] AllEyezOnMe:
Yh me too, I did it through the app and from the link on my online profile.

Is it because my PayPal email address is different to my Gmail?
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Somehow the system didn't provide me your email addresses. Can you please pm your gmail accounts that you use your app with?
[Android Apps and Games] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Just unlocked Chinese Tourist. Working on received SMS next, sending SMS is slow.
[Android Apps and Games] andrebalestrin:
Where are you??

Slackdroid...

Please don't stop to give us more updates...

I believe that i speak for all...We really love your app...
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
I am working on some features for the app and also on some achievements. In this weekend I will release a new update. I won't stop :)
[Android Apps and Games] andrebalestrin:
Uhulll

I discovered the hidden phonechievements...

anxious for more challenges
[Android Apps and Games] AllEyezOnMe:
Im having problems with the app. im on the latest playstore version. In the stats section it says i have unlocked 44 and have 90 remaining which gives a total of 134 but i am only able to view 127 achievements and the rest just dont show up in the list. if u look at the screenshot posted and add the total of each section it equals to 127 and not 134?
[Android Apps and Games] santiemanuel:
There are hidden achievements.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Right :)
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
1.43 is out

What's new

* Added possibility to copy achievement description to clipboard. Long press the achievement you want and select Copy to clipboard

* Added 3 new phonechievements: High Roller, High Load Maniac and Keep It Low
[Android Apps and Games] atometros:
Slack, I have a problem. I'm always testing roms for my phone, so I make backups of all my apps with TB to restore them later. Very often I get achivements I've not really acomplished after restoring this app backup+data. Any way to fix this? I've gotten most of my phonechievements this way!

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Android Apps and Games] oluccas:
I didn't quite understand those new phonechievements...
[Android Apps and Games] Super_Dork_42:
Good to know ;)
[Android Apps and Games] andrebalestrin:
Thanks Slackdroid for listen our suggestions...
[Android Apps and Games] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Trying to understand the CPU loads required and time scales for the new achievements. I ran benchmarks for nearly an hour and didn't get the 60 load one, was running PerfMon to to monitor CPU usage and CPU usage was a consistently 80%<. Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] andrebalestrin:
i'm losing my music count. I don't know if is because i change the method to count photos...

anyone can help me?
[Android Apps and Games] bluskyline21:
Can you add an option to change from metric to imperial? The altitude (or more appropriate-elevation) is confusing because we don't use the metric system in the U.S unless we have to. Most apps in the market with measurements has an option to convert it for that reason. I'm sorry you didn't reach your I.G.G goal :( Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
It doesn't count sytem load and load caused by phonechievements. I guess this is why. If things don't work this way, I will add system load as well to the counting list.

Sure. I will add this option
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
1.44 is out

What's new

* Some small performance improvements</li>

* Added 2 new phonechievements: Christopher Columbus and Beta Tester
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
Nice.

Some things to say:

1) How is the progress on adding the app to the system sync? So it syncs with the server with a schedule.

2) Any new achievements coming (besides those new two)?

3) Any possibility of another color scheme? That orange isn't that pretty, IMO. Also, the slider doesn't seem to the usual Android one. In more recent Xperia models (JB), the theme also changes the color of the sliders. Only the apps that use it change...

4) What about a widget? Maybe like the signature?

5) Last thing: I think I have a bug. The first of the CPU achievements doesn't unlock, even if it is 2/2. I might be confused about it, though. ( Posting this by phone, will edit on Pc with screenshot in a minute)

EDIT: Here:

Sorry for all of those questions. Consider them only as MY opinion, not a necessity...
[Android Apps and Games] AllEyezOnMe:
I also have 2/2 on the keep it low achievement but it isn't unlocked
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
1) It's still under construction. I guess it will still take a few weeks

2) Yes. Sure. Lately, there weren't so many achievements released because it's becoming harder and harder to come up with new ideas that are possible to implement. And there are also a lot waiting to be implemented. Nevertheless, I will release more achievements every time I am able to implement them

3) I hope I will be able to add more themes, maybe let the user choose some of the colors using a settings

4) I have a widget on the todo list. However, I haven't started to work on it yet

5) It's not a bug but more of a misrepresentation. When you see 2/2 it means that it is over 2 ... but 2 being the upper limit it is represented that way. It has to be less than 2 (e.g. 1/2) in order to unlock it.

See my answer above
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
I understand... I'm still confused on how to obtain this achievement. Making the CPU use as less as possible in a minute? Or what...?

For the rest, Ok. Good luck. :)

Excellent idea, congrats :)

new achievements! yowza!

but what about the translations, man? I haven't received an e-mail from you for a long time and there are strings to be translated
[Android Apps and Games] conquesoextra:
My phone becomes crazy.

Suddenly 3 achievements unblocked by magic and then the launcher (apex) starts to reboot himself. Over and over...

I'm on ICS official by LG optimus black.

[Android Apps and Games] bluskyline21:
Perhaps add a counter for achievements that require a week/month/etc. 1/7, 13/30, etc. It takes the guessing out of the achievements like 1 week/ 1 month uptime. Having 0/1 to show 1 month doesn't show progress. Some of the achievements are already formatted to show hours and such.

Change the unrealistic achievements like 6 months uptime, 100000 songs (or at least add more music subscription services like Spotify or Pandora) Is anyone even close to reaching those milestones?

More U.S-based milestones. There are a lot for visiting other countries, or Paris in specific. Maybe add some popular U.S cities.
[Android Apps and Games] caliber2001:
Yes

Yes

No :p
[Android Apps and Games] oluccas:
[2]! And if you think there should be more USA achievements, then I think there should be an achievement for Rio de Janeiro, like the one for Paris. After all, the Olympic Games are gonna be here (I know it's only in 2016, though)... :D

(I dont really think there should be one, but it's actually not a bad idea haha)

[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
Why not Ribeirão Preto, also? It was, for a long time, the world's most coffee productive place, until the 29 crash. Or São Paulo, biggest Latin America city.

Anyway, we're going too off topic already.
[Android Apps and Games] caliber2001:
I like the Olympic idea, why don't we start in 1900 and put all Olympic cities, separate for summer and winter of course.
[Android Apps and Games] santiemanuel:
I'm waiting for distance based achievements. 10M+ meters on Google logs already.
[Android Apps and Games] oluccas:
I LIKE THIS!
[Android Apps and Games] JackVF:
I think there is a mistake with the achievement "My day off"
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
I like it as well, I think I will be able to implement it this week
[Android Apps and Games] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Any news on this achievement (CPU load over 60), I've still not managed to unlock it. This I'd with running numerous because to fully load the system. I have the achievement for 25 apps over 70 CPU load already as well.

[Android Apps and Games] Super_Dork_42:
Why? You aren't being very helpful to the dev by saying that. Maybe if you give reasons why you did that instead he could help you and update the app to be better.
[Android Apps and Games] caliber2001:
Hi slacky, any new phonechievements in progress? when next update :) ?
[Android Apps and Games] Xirix12:
I actually haven't been using the app much. School is out but work has picked up! Still one of my favorite apps and install it everytime i flash a new rom!
[Android Apps and Games] caliber2001:
Same there but still working in the background a and counting data, calls etc. Fire and forget ;)
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Hi guys. Update is work in progress. It will be out soon. Stay tuned :)
[Android Apps and Games] weirdsciencex:
Ok, maybe a daft question but how do I donate? Went to the donate link from within the app but couldn't see how to donate...
[Android Apps and Games] caliber2001:
Look for paypal donate button :thumbup:
[Android Apps and Games] weirdsciencex:
I must be going senile in my old age.

This is the page I am taken to when I press the donate link:

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/phonechievements-achievements-for-android-phones/x/3502309

I can't see a PayPal button or any other way to donate.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Hello. There's a donate button in the footer (down after the achievement list) on http://phonechievements.com/ . Also you can use my signature or donate button on the forum. I updated it... it was an old link to my campaign
[Android Apps and Games] weirdsciencex:
Done :)
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Thank you! I will update your flair in a few moments. Also, today's the day I release a new update. Stay tuned :)
[Android Apps and Games] weirdsciencex:
But a problem. Looking forward to the update :)
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
1.45 is out

What's new

* Last successful sync date displayed in the stats dialog

* Added new phonechievements: Notorious, Olympic Footsteps, One Step At A Time, Not Far From Home, Car Trip, City Break, Far Far Away

In progress

* Fixes

* New achievements

* Translation updates
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
Could I request one thing that could make it better right after a update? Highlight the last added achievements. Something subtle, I think it can help. There is the last added one, but they kinda messy...
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Nice idea. I will add it in the next update
[Android Apps and Games] kroewe:
last update kept all of my already achieved achievements but reset the counters on all others, which included sync data.

Also, Tapatalk 4 beta does not seem to register the well informed achievement or add a count to the beta tester achievement.
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
Just updated. I liked the new achievements. The walking ones should be difficult. Is it cummulative or I have to be at that distance from my set point?
[Android Apps and Games] weirdsciencex:
Kept all my achievements and never reset counters on anything else.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
They are not cummulative. It will always remember your longest distance. The distance is always calculated between your last set starting point and the location you are currently in. So it matters where you set your starting point. Also please note that each time you press the "set starting location" button, the previous location will be replaced by the new one. It's up to you when you want to change it.
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
Oh, OK, Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] caliber2001:
GPS must be active all the time or just start stop?
[Android Apps and Games] oluccas:
Yay! An update! I liked the new achievements, although I probably won't achieve any of them, haha. Liked to see translations updates on the in progress list too :)

Sent from my PIGEON using a piece of paper
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Not all the time (we love battery don't we ? :) ) . Just start stop would do just fine. Just make sure your end position got recorded (distance changed in the achievement progress). Also for start you can also use mobile network location service, not only gps. In the future I will add mobile network for end point as well. It's accurate enough and much faster. You need GPS only for altitude based achievements because it's more accurate.
[Android Apps and Games] caliber2001:
So start(GPS/network)>get into plane>stop(GPS), right?
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Right
[Android Apps and Games] caliber2001:
Also maybe two more Christopher Columbus like, I mean no GPS for 30 days and 6 months?
[Android Apps and Games] bluskyline21:
Umm.....Because the U.S has the most people using this app, so why not? What is the likelihood of the 1400 U.S 'patriots' visiting 15 countries or Paris? Sure, some will, but most people travel within their own country. People that can afford to travel like that won't be wasting their time with a mobile app lol. The only one we get geographically based is to visit all 50 states?

Do you not know about the most popular cities in the U.S or is it some other reason? Seeing as how we (the U.S) are the biggest representation of users for this app it makes sense to give us something better than that.

I see that meter to foot conversion hasn't been implemented yet either. It's just weird how almost every other app has the option to convert it, but it was never thought of for this app?
[Android Apps and Games] oluccas:
~~Deleted~~
[Android Apps and Games] bluskyline21:
oluccas,

There's no need for attitude here. I was simply responding to the posts that were stating "well why not xxx city in xxx country" implying that why should there be some for U.S cities and not others. Paying attention to your biggest (by far) user-base isn't too much to ask for. About the conversion, considering 95% of other app devs add it, I'm sure they'd disagree with your logic that users should simply adapt.

International airports have signs in several languages, btw.

Maybe you could get an achievement for being in RDJ, where there's the huge Jesus statue, who knows. Seeing as how I've donated to his IGG campaign, I am allowed to request features/achievements, so this conversation is over.
[Android Apps and Games] oluccas:
I don't think that users should simply adapt, but that developers don't HAVE to do it. But well, I probably misunderstood the way you said things, sorry for that. I'm gonna delete my comment
[Android Apps and Games] silverlining:
I had my sister install this app and she reports that achievements are randomly umlocking

She makes a lot of calls daily and she unlocked the "no call or sms for 24hrs" and the one for not charging for 3 days.

Its a Galaxy S3 with stock 4.1.2 JB.
[Android Apps and Games] caliber2001:
And another request - can u add di.fm player to music achievements?
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Unfortunately I don't think I am able to support it. I will try again though. It's not the first time I try to support it.

I'll check it out. Thx

Come on guys. There's no need to fight over this. I will add more an more iconic cities in the future from many countries. If I miss some, it doesn't mean I discriminate those people, it's just a matter of time or a matter of usage statistics.
[Android Apps and Games] Jackos:
Well, I did some funny security testing and ended up with all achievements unlocked...

I'd be glad if you could remove my cheater score from the ranking ;)

I'm terrible sorry for the inconvenience.
[Android Apps and Games] picstatistics:
Wow! Really cool, just installed and trying.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Please PM me with your email account that you are using and also maybe you can tell me how it happened so maybe I can add some protection. Thx
[Android Apps and Games] Jackos:
Got it :) I look forward to new layers of protection. The app definitely needs some more sophisticated code obscurification.
[Android Apps and Games] ScreamSchrei:
First. Thanks for this really great app. Got the same idea for months but doesn't know how to write an app. But u got it :good:

Second is a bug, the achievment Keep it low. Got the 2/2 but it doesn't completed.

One more bug is that it said it need a data connection when WiFi is on.

Smartphone is Samsung Galaxy S Plus (GT-9001) with CM10.1 and 3.4 Kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] caliber2001:
It must be below 2 as slacky already stated couple of pages before.

I suppose that there can be other connection problem. Got access to internet?
[Android Apps and Games] ScreamSchrei:
After my posting it was completed.. but days before it wasn't. Thats why i think it's a bug.. but its okay. It is completed :good:

Yes, got access. It's the same connection with that i post here :D

[MENTION=1383416]slacky[/MENTION]

Distance based achievements still don't work for me. Am I doing something wrong?

GPS on, got fix > set start location > GPS still on & distance doesn't show up after ten minutes and some km away. Any tip for me ?
[Android Apps and Games] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
All my stats just randomly reset on my Nexus 4,lost ally calls, data usage, texts received etc... :(

Any ideas what could be the cause? Haven't done anything I don't normally do. Haven't even updated the room since RC5 Cm 10.1.

Last check was maybe yesterday evening. I just went in to check my mobile data and sync texts as had a few one conversations this evening, plus mobile data through the rough as no broadband in house I'm in at present. So I did a sync around 30 minutes ago, that's when I noticed stats had all reset.
[Android Apps and Games] kroewe:
Same thing happened to me. At first I thought it was an update since I was also having a problem getting auto update to shut off in the play store at the same time. But after further inspection, it wasn't an update, it seems to have been completely random. Didn't lose my synced achievements, but all other counts reset.
[Android Apps and Games] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
Been through full wipes and all sorts before. This was just completely random. Was so close to numerous long term achievements too, was hoping to be in top ten soon too.

Was hoping Dev or someone may know what's happened or provide a solution. I've always an aged to sync all details back on the N4 without any issues.
[Android Apps and Games] IIIIkoolaidIIII:
We I've managed to restore it from a backup, though that still doesn't establish what caused this to happen. Especially seeing as nothing had changed on the device. Wondering if it may have been some sort of database error?

Has anyone else perceived the same also? There's two of us here it's happened to recently, it's quite disheartening especially with the really long term achievements. Luckily I backup regularly so had a recent one to restore too, which worked, would of been months of lost data otherwise.
[Android Apps and Games] weirdsciencex:
How are the sms and calls achievements calculated?

I was texting a friend today and we sent over 100 texts back and forwards but they haven't made any difference to the achievements.

Also call achievements don't seem right.

Edit: I have done done further checking and some off the achievements are way off. According to the app I've only txt 2 different people. Amount of beta apps installed is incorrect etc.

I know the app is only a bit of fun but still needs to keep the stats accurate.
[Android Apps and Games] FSN:
the newer achievements don't give points on phonechievements.com :(
[Android Apps and Games] Quark^2:
THe distance achievements work for me, but not the city achievements. I was in a city start with a Z all day, unlocked the 10km achievement but not the city Z one.

How is determined where I am? What may be wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] MrxSiN:
camera count doesnt working. Im on PAC Man Rom, an AOSP/AOKP rom. Also Set start location doesnt working either. GPS is on, and i got mobile data

[Android Apps and Games] kroewe:
Just made a road trip from Arkansas to north Dakota and back, passing through Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa, touching into Nebraska and Kansas, then south and north Dakota with a brief day trip into Minnesota. All the distance achievements worked fine however, despite syncing at least once in every state, the 50 state achievement counter is stuck at 1.
[Android Apps and Games] sharmaneeraz:
Same here. Just went on a road trip covering AZ, NM, TX, LA, FL. Made sure to use the GPS but my counter is stuck in 1 too. The distance achievements worked fine for me too.

I also had a question about the Truly Lost achievement. When does the 23 hr countdown start? Because I keep on switching between WiFi and Data plan. The counter increments to upto 4 and then resets to 1.
[Android Apps and Games] lzk123:
Cool game. Is it possible to change the country achievements or something? Since some of us do not live in the US.
