to start with, figure out what exactly needs to be done and why and put it in writing

The first step would be to write down exactly what you're looking for this app to do and any other pertinent requirements (needs to work offline, speed requirements, hardware to support, etc.).

What you're describing so far sounds like a service provided by major online map providers such as Google, Bing, etc. If you have an address, you just key it in as a destination, and then if you have the fire station pre-filled in as your departure point, you'll get map directions generated right there. Is this what you're interested in? If so, then you can just open a browser when you receive a message and go to Google Maps or to the maps app directly from the phone and do it there.

If some of the details that you've provided are hard requirements (text message being an incoming SMS, .xls data store, precise data requirements, zero downtime tolerance, very fast response times, etc.) then the best place to start would be finding an acquaintance who can write phone apps (maybe some kid from a local high school or college?) and explain/show what you want done to them in detail and have them estimate how complex this work would be. After than you either hire that person to do the work or pressure them to do it for you as community service :).

If you don't have the right people in your network or they're unwilling to do the hard lifting, then you should reach out to a contractor and have it done commercially. It's the same approach: explain what you need done exactly, then get an estimate, etc. Based on what you describe, it shouldn't be too complicated or expensive.

I don't recommend you do it on your own unless you have tons of free time and/or are specifically looking to learn how to write apps. You'll end up spending a lot more time than this project costs on the market, and if you're not really into it, it might seem quite frustrating for what seems like should be a very simple thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] NOplaymaker:
I've for a AT&T S4 I337 with the MF3 update. I have already managed to root it. Is there any way to unlock the sim?? I have searched. Tried to get to the service menu and it does't let me do anything. Can I flash another rom or do something so I can unlock it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ronnie498:
Seeing how you are on the MF3 currently there is no way to flash another rom or custom recovery, your best bet would be go through att to get the unlock code.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] NOplaymaker:
But it won't even let me get into the service menu. I tried the codes and process they say online and it does nothing. Can someone explain why it won't budge and how and when it will be fixed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DeadlySin9:
The service menu unlock was disabled in MF3. You have to get an unlock code from your carrier or another service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] NOplaymaker:
Theres not even a place to enter an unlock code. I cut my Straight talk sim with the proper tool and inserted it and it didn't even recognize it. Still says "no sim inserted." Going to try to buy a ATT straight talk sim from the Straight talk website next.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bjones7134:
Unlock Code AT&T, they have no idea

I ported my # over from AT&T today to Straight Talk. At first it didn't like the new sim card, but after my # was ported and a few reboots the message didn't come up anymore. I now have phone & data service running on it, even though I was still under contract for a previous device (S3). I called AT&T and after a lengthy call, they said I didn't need an unlock code if I was getting service OK from Straight Talk. My old APN info is still there for them along with the one I created for 'ST'. I have no way of deleting the old APN, and who knows where, or if I'll get updates from. My only other option was to get the Google Edition S4, but I payed full price for the one I got now. Hopefully the bootloader issue will get cracked before long and I can get this ATT crap off my phone for good.

Can you please share steps you followed, it will be a great help.

It's been mentioned that region unlock has had a positive affect on the Sim unlock.

However Sim unlock and region unlock are totally different from one another.I used the free unlock method when I was MDL and only used the region unlock with MF3 .will I ever really know if the region unlock worked?probably never.

I am still Sim unlocked

I'm also on MF3 w/ SafeStrap using STOCK ROM (SGH-i337) and this "Region Lock" by chainfire unlocked my SIM. I can now use a T-Mobile SIM and its recognized fine.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Mysticales:
Very interesting indeed. So by doing this, has anyone confirmed that its perm unlocked, even after a factory reset?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] NOplaymaker:
I'd like to know this also!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] hanniabdin:
did not work

I rooted my MF3 Galaxy S4, The regional unlock away did not sim unlock the phone. It will not ask you for the sim unlock when you enter other carrier sim but you ca not make any calls. Only emergency calls. If anyone know how to sim unlock MF3 please let us know. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] IceTwig:
I had an old T-Mobile SIM that I used to test, but since its inactive I could not try to make any calls. So I guess from what you are saying, it removed the PIN restriction for the SIM but it will not allow you to makes calls? is it possible you APN is set wrong? Check here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Ends:
The APN won't affect calls. Only data. I've stated at least once that this method does not SIM unlock your phone. Not a true SIM unlock. Hence the name. I decided not to reply to earlier replies. Instead I laugh at the ignorant
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] IceTwig:
hmmm I dont mind people laughing at my ignorance... but I would check before you post... it has worked for quite a bit of people here and a few other threads.... maybe we are all ignorant which im sure one way or another that is the case... or maybe you misunderstood the procedure and it didn't work for you.

I do appreciate the APN info though... I thought it affected calls as well.

S4

Hi can you tell me the steps since the thread is not working?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sRs DoLLaR mEnU:
I had the same problem when I got my s4 the other night. I traded my factory unlocked iPhone 5 for my s4. The guy told me it had not been updated to mf3. It had been though. I can confirm that RegionLockAway sim unlocked my phone. Root the phone, run regionlockaway and reboot with your unsupported sim card in. I'm currently using my att s4 on tmobile. This method saved me 20 bucks for the unlock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CottonCreeper:
Thanks for the post. I just purchased a S4 from AT&T, and will try that method. I've rooted many phones but since you unlocked yours, I'm curious as to which Rooting method you followed. I want to use it for T-Mobile....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] odin_248:
I just tried this, and it worked! I have an at&t galaxy s4 MF3 and all I had to do was search for the

but I have the blackmart app, so I got it for free ;) . Anyway, I followed the steps in the video and then the steps you said and it worked.

Im on 4.1.2 and do not want downgrade and delete all my data etc or root at this time, otherwise id do that method if it didnt do a factory reset wipe.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
Here's my suggestion:

Install Odin and the required drivers.

Reboot to Download Mode

Flash this: modem-T889_T-Mobile-T889UVLALJ1_4.1.1.tar

Reboot

Perform your SIM unlock as per the various tutorials seen on this forum.

Reboot to Download Mode

Flash this: modem-T889_T-Mobile-T889UVBMD1_4.1.2.tar

Reboot

????????

Profit!

No root, no factory reset.

That'll be 50$ ;)

I'm not sure if this will trip the flash counter or not. If it does, simply flash the rooted mrRobinson BMD1 ROM through Odin and use Chainfire's Triangle Away. Flash back the unrooted stock image if desired.

The rubbish way that MS implemented the file system in things like Pocket Word is beginning to irritate me. I have "My Documents" in the main memory and I have one on my SD Card. I put everything onto the SD card, but loads of apps have installed stuff like setting files and so on, into the main memory.

Now when I open Pocket Word, I get a huge list of everything in all directories.....how do I make things like Pocket Word/Excel NOT look in the My Documents directory in main memory, but only look in the one on the SD card?

Any hints would be really great.
[General Topics] huisie:
As far as I know, it's not possible...or, at least, fiendishly difficult for ordinary mortals not working for MS or its preferred partners.

I did hours of googling, but had to accept that you need two "My Documents" folders, the MS one and one on your SD card.

Also, you need to reflect the same subfolders on your SD card, such as "My Library" for the least inconvenience.

Not the answer you're looking for, I know. If you find a better one, do fill the rest of us in, please.
[HTC One S] soumya_agr:
Hello experts,

My wife's HTC one S has suddenly started behaving strange. It keeps rebooting itself endlessly, which i have learned here is called bootloop. I did the volume + power button trick and reached the HBOOT screen. There it gives me options like Recovery, Factory reset, Sim lock, Image CRC and Show barcode.

What does the recovery option do? I desperately need to pull out the pics and contacts out of this phone. I am afraid to click on the Recovery option without knowing what it will do?

Any help from anyone here?
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
What does it say at the top? Locked or unlocked?
[HTC One S] soumya_agr:
It says "LOCKED"

Thanks

Soumya
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
You'll need to unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery and pull out pics by mounting the SD card partition.
[HTC One S] soumya_agr:
Hi Orak,

Thanks. However, I am not that good into these techniques. Do you know where I can get the steps to do this? Further, my phone is still in warranty. Will any of these steps affect my warranty?

Regards

Soumya
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
You can use hasoon's All in One Tool.

Yes, unlocking bootloader will void your warranty.
[HTC One S] soumya_agr:
Ok. I think I will prefer to continue with the warranty. So looks like I will have to do a factory reset. Btw, what is that recovery option expected to do without unlocking the bootloader? Any idea?

Thanks

Soumya
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Yeah. It has factory reset, OTA update options. When you select recovery, you'll see a phone with red triangle, press volume up + power at once to enter recovery.

[Mobile Ad Networks] koochooloo:
Hi guys, today I woke up with a horrific news. I wanted to kill myself when I logged in to my Admob account. I am banned without a warning or at least a courtesy mail. I have been trying to find out the reason, I have read tons of similar posts and it looks like it is not very likely that they will reactivate my account. I need some suggestion about the mail that I will send them in order for them to understand that I did nothing wrong and that what they did is actually wrong.

I was getting 30k impressions daily and I am suspicious that somebody has attacked my application; however, isn't admob supposed to understand that and filter out those clicks?

This is so frustrating, any comment on this issue would be great.

Thank you so much.
[Mobile Ad Networks] Sir_Obvious:
That's a really sad news.. I think it could be possible that some user just clicked your ads over and over again, just to get you banned.. Normally, I would suggest that admob is able to filter this clicks out, but it seems not in your case.

If i remember correct, there should be an official "protest"-formular online. But I would not put to much hope in int.

Maybe you should just try a new network, as soon as possible.
[Mobile Ad Networks] koochooloo:
Thank you for your comments, It is really a shame if a person is able to make me banned that way. I have switched to another network but it will not be paying as good as Admob does. Anyways Google is the boss and I have no other option except abiding by whatever this giant wants.
[Mobile Ad Networks] out of ideas:
Im surprised they couldnt filter out multiple clicks from one account. But they would probably just assume it was you telling someone to click on ads for them.

Can I ask what your app was?

[Mobile Ad Networks] Crichton333:
Post some screenshots of the locations where you put your admob banners and the names of your apps so we can tell you why you got banned.
[Mobile Ad Networks] Apps Master Buider:
Hi! Sorry to hear about that. Based on my own experience conducting workshop for my students, we follows these guidelines:

1) Never click on your own app

2) Never open your admob account using public wifi

3) never open your admob account using the same gmail address as your google developer account.

There are few more advices we normally gives our students but those above is the major guidelines that students must follow.

I hope this helps you.

All the best. Never give up. Just continue open a new admob account as their new formats gives us better income.

Take care.

Kind regards.

[Mobile Ad Networks] Generic Field:
It is sad to hear about that.

Though this post is created last year, I have some questions and hopefully if you could help. Thanks.

Did you contact AdMob support to get more information about the ban?

What happened to your App after the ban? Did it still show AD, Blanked, or simply make the App crashed?

Did you try another AD network, such as MoPub mentioned by others?
[Mobile Ad Networks] sekip:
how satisfied are you with Mopub?
[Mobile Ad Networks] Crichton333:

[Mobile Ad Networks] Supermobilefan:
Where did you place the ads? Did you abuse the system in any way? Could it be because of your apps? Did they contain copyrighted material?
[Mobile Ad Networks] Johannes Goß:
MoPub allows you to mediate between a whole bunch of ad networks. The only disadvantage is that the support is very slow in answering your questions and in verifying your account. If you can live with that, I'd suggest changing to MoPub.
[Mobile Ad Networks] everfantasy3:
you can chose something else.

I don't think there is much to upset, you can chose so many other ad networks since it is really so easy, such as startapp, mobilecore and mobvista, so easy to switch..
[Mobile Ad Networks] ChrisAirpush:
AdMob Alternative

Unless you have a ton of impressions, a solution like MoPub may be overkill. MoPub is a mediation solution that allows you to optimize between multiple networks to best value your inventory. It really is just a little more savvy than having a single network manage your inventory, and you have the ability to serve house ads.
