New version published on Google Play

Just published a new update on GPlay. Give it some time to actually get it.

What's New:

* Added three new Phonechievements: Well Informed (Apps), I Always Take The Bus (Power Wizard), The Alternative Approach (Power Wizard)

* Minor bug fixes

* Battery usage reduced

Work in progress:

* Just started implementing the Twitter integration (a share button will be available next to the Facebook one).

* Another thing I started working on is a profile webpage. You will be able to choose a username and get a unique profile URL to share with your friends... and brag :) . Also a compare tool will be available so you can show your frinds that you have more phonechievements :)

* This is just the beginning as this webpage could easily be developed and improved. The way you will be able to update your profile is either automatically (setting) or manually.

* I also got a lot of complains about battery draining when GPS is on. I know what the problem is and it will be fixed in tomorrow's update

*

AND THE BIG ONE COMING IN TOMORROW'S UPDATE:

RandomChievements : The are phonechievements, yes they are ... but a little special. They are inactive most of the time, meaning you can't unlock them even if you accomplish the goal (by accident :) ). They become active randomly, at any time. You will get a notification that the randomchievement has become active. From that moment on you have a random amount of time to complete it. Sometimes it might be almost impossible to do it. But if you miss it , there's no worry, it will get active some other time. Randomly, of course. The only known fact is that it can not tell you to unlock it in less than 15 minutes. This is the lower limit. The upper limit is 6 hours. There will be a new category called Randomchievements where this new type of phonechievement will take its rest.

Last but not least... if you experience any issues , crashes , please report them so I can try and fix the issues.

Thank you.

P.S.

:) Do you have a suggestion ? Anyway.. I am considering this change for next version
[Android Apps and Games] xy90:
You should add some sort of badge system - like with foursquare! But great idea - installed it now : )
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
This will be added in the future, when the profile website will be available.
[Android Apps and Games] xy90:
Oh - and maybe some sort of friendsystem or social integration?

Edit: Nevermind... Saw your post now :P

New thing though - You should hide what makes the achievement unlock - and only show descriptions, so that the exploring is more fun!
[Android Apps and Games] Rican Bx Bomba:
The update keeps crashing for me. Going to bed, I'll get more info out tomorrow if I can.
[Android Apps and Games] UntamedDeviance:
I turned on the app at my house and almost got the first altitude achievement! Haha, love this app, such a simple idea that I am sure was a pain to program! I love all the devs that put everything into their apps for me to enjoy!

[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Thank you for the icons and about the suggestions, I am taking them into account. They sound cool. However now I would like to make the app more stable.

I know about the mobile data counter. It has been fixed and will be released in the next few hours
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
1.15 is out and it comes with Spanish flavor

What's new

* Added Spanish translations (thx to santiemanuel for the translation) and partial Italian (soon to be completed)

* Fixed stats counters

* Fixed mobile data usage counters

* Fixed time based phonechievements. Tryout the power saving ones and let me know if they now work for you.. I know at least one day has to pass :)

* Fixed other bugs and issues

* Added additional icons for DND and altitude based phonechievements (more to come)

Translations help

If anyone can help with translations for German or French or any other language except Spanish and Italian they are most welcome. Thx
[Android Apps and Games] Ozgurce:
If you give the xml file on this topic or create a crowdin page, I can help for Turkish translation.
[Android Apps and Games] Talal916:
Love this app, got a question though.. Can we use the same account on multiple devices at the same time? For instance, to get the uptime achievements?

Sent from my EVO
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Hello. You can use the sync option between multiple devices but you cannot sum up any of the achievements. The sync option only takes the highest value into account between the two devices. Also time dependent achievements can not be synced. It is possible that these limitation will be overcome in the future, but for now sync works more as a backup. Also if on a device you have a higher count of call for instance, you can sync this on the other device and continue from that point. If you have more devices and you use them more frequently in different areas, you can use for instance one to unlock some achievements and others to unlock other achievements and then sync and have the unlocked achievements on all your devices.

Nice improvements!

Just got Disco Disco Boom Boom :D

Any idea why sync doesnt work for me?

Always "Response phase error. Please try again. 1" :(
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
First time I hear about this error. I will investigate. Can you PM me you prefix [AT] gmail [com] that you are using for sync ? It might be some conflict I didn't cover related to your username. At least that's what the error is about :)
[Android Apps and Games] santiemanuel:
Travel Agent category is difficult. I think it should be good a variant where the app counts the travelled distance from point A to point B. 500 1000 5000 and 10000 km
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
I thought about that but I need to figure out the implementation as by default the app can't really decide where is point A or point B. If you keep GPS on , the app doesn't know when to start counting. I need to find the way for the user to define the start point at least. The end point would be the farthest linear distance from it.
[Android Apps and Games] Xirix12:
Someone has every single travel one. I just got to 47 and I dont think I can get but one more.
[Android Apps and Games] santiemanuel:
Are you fnavarro on TOP 20?
[Android Apps and Games] Xirix12:
Yeah it used my Google email as username.
[Android Apps and Games] santiemanuel:
Maybe a button to get location instead of doing it automatically?

And check is if it's the first stored location then measure the distance from new location and last one stored
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Yes. Something like that
[Android Apps and Games] lukacs.attila:
Hello, just an idea: when unlocking one, it displays on the notification bar, but is it possible to tap that one and expanding their explanation from the list? Like Foursquare does?
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
I got this suggestion from one of my friends as well and I am close to implementing it. It will make it in the next versions. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] lukacs.attila:
Nice, can't wait to test it :)
[Android Apps and Games] KidCarter93:
Glad to see the tablet integration :) I can now get started with these on my N7 :D

One suggestion for an achievement though - Taking x number of photos would unlock the achievement. Obviously that could have a few different achievements to unlock just based on the number of photos taken.

Again though, great work on this app :)

EDIT - Maybe you could do something to do with how many songs we have on our device aswell?

I'm not sure how feasible these additions are so forgive me if it can't be done for whatever reason :)

"I don't care if you're the next Chainfire or just some random spammer. If you can't make 10 posts, you shouldn't be on XDA."
[Android Apps and Games] Xirix12:
Not sure if this has been asked or answered (didn't look). I am probably going to flash a ROM either tonight or tomorrow night (depending on when I am done with school work). Any way that any of my achievements will be lost. Or now that we have the sync site they will not be lost.

TIA
[Android Apps and Games] MrBC:
Just make sure your synced and you will be fine. I have flashed 3 different roms. Not sure how I'm gonna make it to the 6 months without rebooting lol.
[Android Apps and Games] galonpzw:
I'm using this for a while and.. its awe some :D i have no idea how do i get X Y Z achievments but still.. Avesome :D
[Android Apps and Games] Xirix12:
Good. I'm all synced up so I should be good thanks.

I live outside the city limits of Yuma, AZ. So I got Y. Z and X now that's going to be interesting. I am waiting on my 6200mAh battery to come in (tomorrow). I should be able to get some of the "Power Wizard" Phonechievements.
[Android Apps and Games] MrBC:
I finally made it into the top 20 :D

Now I'm wondering whoin here is who on the board. It might be nice to have a list.

[Android Apps and Games] Super_Dork_42:
Found a bug in the Disco Disco Boom Boom achievement. When I turned off the screen once the ticker would count twice or sometimes thrice. I didn't use the button 1200 times but it counted it that way. I have the trophy, but I caught the bug on video before I did.

Here's the video for you.

I am fnavarro.nwe on the list.

Edit: I'd actually like to know who nekromantic is haha
[Android Apps and Games] Super_Dork_42:
I keep a timer going set at 42 minutes so I can keep switching from my wifi to the cell network, but every time I switch, it lasts maybe a few minutes before 'the smoke monster' resets to zero again. It's been three hours and I have switched 4 times but it shows only 0/8.
[Android Apps and Games] UntamedDeviance:
To get all 3 in one day.... If you know someone going on a business trip to China, let them take your device :D all 3 in 2 days!! Haha and a bunch of the countries too with Wifi on planes! Hahaha

---------- Post added at 11:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

Also, since you fixed my last issue so well, thought I would report another... I have been streaming movies from Netflix and Hulu at work on network data, and all of my data achievements haven't moved.. And I haven't done any battery pulls
[Android Apps and Games] i906:
I was so close to achieve "I Always Take The Bus" until I accidentally charged using the socket.

Some achievement suggestions:

Close Call: recharged the phone when the battery was at 1%

Mutualchiever: Use NFC/Beam with other Phonechievements user

Explorer: Connect to 10 different wifi access point
[Android Apps and Games] ivanpu:
I might have found a bug (or I simply did not understand the requirements):

I have installed 2 apps, after installing this one.

But "Apps Scavenger" achievement still shows 0/30 progress.

For the record:

All "Have X apps installed" achievements had their counter advanced appropriately.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
The other count might be from the "buffer". Actually the counter counts every time you switch on/off but the GUI only gets updated once a minute or when you open the app. So when you opened the app it refreshed maybe those 2 counts that it should've counted + 1 that wasn't updated yet. It's just a quick guess. I will investigate it though.

I think I know why. My guess is you leave the wifi or cell open right?If you do, when you switch off the screen, phone goes into sleep mode. When you switch screen on, phone goes out of sleep, sees that you are connected to wifi/cell and sends again the broadcast and the app sees as you just connected to the network. This sleep thing is causing a lot of bugs with many achievements and I am looking at a solution for it. However it's hard to make the difference between when it should be counted or not because there is no broadcast for goind into/out of the sleep mode :( I will try to implement a workaround though. If you wish to do it before I implement a fix, you should just turn off wifi/cell immediately after you turned it on (give it let's say a minute of staying on and then turn it off)

This could happen if those apps you installed aren't "new". What I mean is you had them installed at a given time in the past. Try installing a completely new one, leave it for 1-2 minutes and check the counter. If it's still not updated please let me know.

:) Ok. Noted
[Android Apps and Games] santiemanuel:
And for those who doesn't have a NFC enabled phone maybe share files via bluetooth is an alternative.

One more, I cannot achieve the 2 hours call because my provider limits calls to just 1 hour , I've tried 3 times and the call always finished around 1 hour. So that one is impossible for me.
[Android Apps and Games] ivanpu:
Only one of them was reinstalling, other one was completely new.

But I'll try with few more apps later.

Update:

Looks like it's working. :)
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
wow. I didn't know there was such a limit :)
[Android Apps and Games] santiemanuel:
It's just my service provider here.
[Android Apps and Games] dge:
Same problem for me.

Do you need informations ?

I use Google 2-step verification. Perhaps it's that.

Thanks for your time
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
I am not sure how that is working on the phone. Can you describe the process ? I mean can you describe exactly what happens when you press the sync button for the first time (I mean what happened exactly the first time you presed it, what dialogs appeared, etc...) ?
[Android Apps and Games] dge:
The first time, the app asked me autorisation to access my account. I choose OK.

Then this screen never came back.

Now when I click then sync button, it wait 3 seconds and I have the message

"Response parse error. Please try again 1" .

The message disappear after 3 seconds.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Hmm. Strange. I will try to test and see if it has something to do with that 2 - way authentication. Thx for bringing it up
[Android Apps and Games] ivanpu:
I'm using 2-stage authentication too, and sync works fine for me.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Then it's something else... still it's related to the user. Please PM with the user you have chosen so I can debug. It might be something that was setup wrong in the database because that error is caused by actually receiving a bad username from the sync server

ONE SMALL REQUEST - HELP NEEDED

If you have your stats reset after an update or other issue, please user CatLog app or any other Logcat app you prefer and search for the TAG Phonechievements. A "Read error" followed by an exception stack should be displayed that caused the stats to reset. Please post/pm me that log entry so I can debug. Thx
[Android Apps and Games] santiemanuel:
I was so close...
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
190 meters left :)
[Android Apps and Games] santiemanuel:
Just moved here, I hoped I could reach the first one, sadly not, maybe there are higher zones that could get me to 1400
[Android Apps and Games] MrBC:
My bad, was in the wrong thread :p
[Android Apps and Games] dge:
I have never seen a screen with a username to choose. The only screen I've seen is my email account and buttons to accept or deny access.

I choose access (of course) and I've just PM you the email.
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Ok now things are clear to me. I wasn't aware of the fact that you can have non @gmail.com system accounts. That was the problem. So anyone that is in this situation and gets the Parse error 1 error , it will be fixed in the next update
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
1.16 is Deutschland ready

What's new

* Added German translation

* Fixed time based phonechievements. Tryout the power saving ones

* Fixed bugs and issues

* Added additional icon for Post Office

* Added two new phonechievements: Bedtime Stories & Close Call

* Fixed sync issue for those having non @gmail.com system accounts

* Truly Lost achievement working. Dont switch exactly after 42 min... try after 46-50 just de be sure :)

* Added backup system for the stats. Hopefully this update will bring a fix tor the annoying issue. NOTE that you might lose the stats before doing this update and this update's backup system will actually count for the next update after the actual one (1.16). Also doign a sync before each update is very helpful :)

Enjoy

BONUS

This is how the profile website will look like. Will also have compare feature
[Android Apps and Games] Super_Dork_42:
It happened every time tho. Not just then.

I don't let the phone sleep in between. I merely have it not sleep while plugged in and switch off the wifi so it goes to the mobile network. Then I start a timer set for 42 minutes, and when it's done i wait a few more before turning on the wifi again. Does it have something to do with the GPS?
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
It shouldn't have something to do with the GPS... I just tested the achievement with the code I just published (you should have it in about 1hr) and I got to 5/8 then by mistake I switched it on to early :) Anyway try again with the latest update and let me know
[Android Apps and Games] Super_Dork_42:
Will do.

Also, might I say, you are awesome. I haven't seen a dev, of ROMs or apps, since workshed was working on the Eris that was as responsive as you. YOU ROCK!

Quickly, everyone that can, to the donate button. Give slackydroid money! :P

(I would if I had any, seriously. I've just been out of a job for over a year is all.)
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
Thanks man. I really appreciate this community. I mean I've never seen a community so involved and so helpful. Others would've just installed the app after the first bug and 1 starred me on Google Play and end of story. I like this community because everyone is testing and giving feedback in order to help fix and improve. I am happy because I make the app better and the others are happy because they get a quality app. It's a win - win situation. I love XDA :good:

Thank you for supporting the app and testing it.

You have to understand it is quite difficult to cover all possible situations with so many phones and roms and stuff. And also the Android system which wasn't actually built to support such an app. That's why I have to create many workarounds in order to get over some of the system's "limitations". They are not limitations per say, it's just they don't fit with Phonechievment's purposes. For instance the sleep mode which is extremely helpful for the battery life but very harmful for the app. I need to add a lot of worarounds due to the sleep mode. But with the help of so many users involved I can easily overcome the issues :)

Thank you again for the involvement
[Android Apps and Games] KidCarter93:
I'm guessing these suggestions were missed, so I'm bringing them back up again.

Apologies if you had noticed the post though :o
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
No no no. That one with the photos is already under constructions. The achievements are already made. The only issue is the counting engine is not working properly yet. But it will. So expect this quite soon :)

The one with the songs is on the TODO list but I can not give an ETA for that.
[Android Apps and Games] KidCarter93:
I know better than to ask for ETAs anyway :p

Glad to see that they're being added though :)

Nice update, the only achievement not restored after sync after update was The Alternative Aproach, it's on zero.
[Android Apps and Games] jorank:
love to see this! thank you for your great work!

a suggestion from my side is: add achievements that go with whatsapp if that is possible as i never use texting.

KUTGW!
[Android Apps and Games] slackydroid:
I have a lot of request for Whatsapp and google voice. I will try to see if I can get something from whatsapp or contact them about providing me acces to some stats :)

Re: [APP][2.0+]Phonechievements[APP][2.0+]Phonechievements

When I update the app everything is gone. Its happened every time I update. Then I sync and they start coming back. A few things later then others but all my Phonechievements get loaded to the app. Just sync and they should come back. They do for me.
[Android Apps and Games] i906:
My achievements was reset too. I did not sync before the update.

When I tried to sync after the update I got the following errors:

- Authentication service problem

- Communication error / response parse error

Might be my data connection got problems as well.

Wow that has never happened to me. Good thing he's on top of it and will address this soon.

What are the possibilities of getting a widget or two in the future? One for leaderboard and one for your stats. With stuff like:

Closest to being achieved

Recently achieved

And other stuff that the website shows
[Android Apps and Games] sinisin:
I'm sure he is. Quite honestly this app is fun. They were only simple achievements. And by no means was I complaining. Look forward to wherever he takes this.

On a realistic note however, I think the 6 & 3 month not rebooting achievements are impossible and dangerous. Reboots are all but nessecary, and totally nessecary for rooted custom rom users. Even carriers and manufacturers recommend rebooting every 3 days. 1 month is a giant stretch and something I would only do with my tablet, and probably not even that.

Please use the sync before any update just to be sure :)

EDIT

Just released update. In 1 hour it should be fine for everyone to update. Those who already did I am sorry for your loss :(

To be sure it is the good update look for what's new on Play and ensure it has the * Fixed the fix line and the * Added new iconds for Truly lost and Games Addict line. Thank you
