Really? You are saying that just make your game and people will find it if it's good enough? Maybe that was true some years ago, but certainly nowadays it's completely wrong. Optimize your keywords to be shown in relevant searches is one of the keys (ASO), but unfortunately not the only one. Spread the word in alternative channels is also necessary... but it isn't enough neither. Actually, get users without spend tons of dollars in advertising is quite a challenge. I really would like to hear some advices from someone who have experience in this.

By the way, JeanPierreQC, your idea is quite good, but I'm afraid there's many apps which do exactly the same, anyway cool idea, it's a pity you need a lot of users to make it work.
[General Marketing & SEO] Halkologic:
With patience

Unless you get very lucky there is no any simple way to get users fast. The market places are very competitive. Market you apps in social media and internet forums, get all your friends and relatives download your apps. Make many apps that draw users to your other apps. Make so great app that somebody wants to become your partner and does the promotion for you. Simple things like the signature banner below this message can make the difference in the long term.

try to implement the ASO to trigger the app installs
[General Marketing & SEO] dandev99:
Don't forget that download alone isn't enough. you need the users to be engaged. Having thousands of downloads will not give you higher ranking if everyone simply uninstall it immediately. So be aware from pay per install plan where the users has insensitive to perform the installation. At the end of the day, your app needs to be able to keep the customers with you.
[General Marketing & SEO] digibligames:
ASO is imho a bit overrated. Having relevant keywords and a nice looking icon and screens, and stuff like that, is simply common sense to me. As long as you have that you have good enough ASO really. ASO isn't some secret trick to get thousands of daily downloads like some people seem to think. There are no secret tricks for that.

To get a lot of download you need to put in A LOT of work, and/or A LOT of money. And have a really good app of course.

Anyway, I good idea that has worked very well for me is localising. If you can't localise your entire app you can at least localise the app description. Adding a few more "big" languages for my app description have almost doubled my downloads, even though the app itself is in english only. It's also cheap as you can get translations for $5 each on fiverr. Sure you won't know how good they are for that little money, but it's basically no money spent and it's probably a lot better than google translate at the very least.
[General Marketing & SEO] WakingBat:
If you are sure that your app is engaging enough for users then try to put as many sharing options as possible within you app like fb,whatapp,twitter. this can boost your downloads.
[General Marketing & SEO] Foxbrush:
Hi,

Pretty interesting and good suggestion.

Could you please share some stats or further experiences about with v.s. without localising
[General Marketing & SEO] decisivedonte:
Have you tried PR to push your app?

There's a blog post called "State of App Promotion" that you should check out. Can't post the link because I'm a new user, but just search for "DecisiveAds" on Twitter. It's pinned to the profile. Good luck!

AAP -Android App Promotion

Try AAP - Android App Promotion app on playstore as they provide free download exchange services where you download an app and your app gets downloaded in return .You can see the results in daily reports and take appropriate measure while doing so .
[General Marketing & SEO] tny2012:
I checked the AAP - The idea is good, but the app has only 1 thousand installs, probably no more than 300 active, that means using this app I can drive maximum 300 installs - not serious promotion. Additionally, it is not clear, how google will consider this way of promotion - legitimate or not? So, taking a risk for few more installs worth?
[General Marketing & SEO] casualgaming92:
Hi,

Insensitive install is quiet good for new app, because google don't care too much about uninstall for the first month of launch. Many big company also use insensitive install. But link building, website review, user review, how often user come back to you app is also really important.
[General Marketing & SEO] daaddyfinco:
Sorry but this is so wrong...

Having thousands of VALID downloads will boost your rankings even if 900 of them uninstalled it a day later. I'm writing from experience and not guessing
[General Marketing & SEO] MindyS2:
website promotion

The ultimate goal of search engine promotion is to increase sales. The more people see the site in high positions in the issue, the more people it visits and theoretically can become your customers. In order for a seo to produce results, it is necessary that the site be properly optimized using tools for a technical audit of the site and its analysis on parameters such as links, content and others.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Chris9446:
I live in Canada so buying from ebay or somewhere canadian would be helpful.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] DosNexus:
If you bought it from the Google Play store there's a chance you might get a replacement. There have been people who have called in saying they broke their screen and Google replaced the phone. It's YMMY, but it's worth a shot first before looking around to buy a new panel.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] JCreazy:
There are plenty of screen replacements on eBay for around $100
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Chris9446:
Not sure about the quality of those ones though. Could be knock offs or faulty. Unless someone knows a trusted seller?

I'll try contacting google but the screen replacements are for americans only.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] uodii:
With ebay you have to do some research. Find what you're looking for, then read the seller feedback and search for the item you're looking to buy. If people are leaving positive feedback about it, then you shouldnt have anything to worry about. I buy iPhone screen replacements all the time and havent had an issue yet.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Nnyan:
I've purchased three N5 replacement screens which I carefully researched and went with the ones that seemed to be the best rated sellers (not just the cheapest option). I would never again go that route. IMHO but none of the screens were Corning Gorilla Glass 3. They each had issues that stock phones did not (dead pixels, attracted dust like a dust magnet, changed the touch characteristics, etc...). Last phone that I needed to replace a screen for I ended up going with Play Store and they did a free exchange of the unit.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Chris9446:
I found a solution. LG in Canada charges a flat rate of $150 to fix the display :D which is much better than $200+ from local shops.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] chrisjcks:
Google will send you another Nexus 5 if you bought it directly from them.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] dicecuber:
Might as well keep that $150 and put it towards a newer device (Nexus 6) .

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Random Select:
I would just dump the Nexus 5 and save the money for the Nexus 6 or pick up the new Moto G.
[Android Apps and Games] cygery:
Hi,

I'm the developer of "Quicker Camera Launcher Pro". This app launches your camera app without any click. Just turn on your device, rotate it to landscape or portrait (configurable) and this app will launch your camera app.

Camera app compatibility list: http://cygery.com/wordpress/faqs/compatible-camera-apps/

This thread is intended for questions, feedback, bug reports, feature requests, etc. Feel free to post!

The app is available on Google Play. As it's a commercial app I can't link to it directly.

Cheers,

cygery
[Android Apps and Games] Masum56k:
I can't find it in play store..

Can you at least give the link of play store?
[Android Apps and Games] cygery:
I've send you the link via PM.

Because the app is very new and hasn't many downloads yet it's apparently ranked very low by Google Play's search algorithm if you search for the name (without quotation marks). However, if you search for the name enclosed in quotation marks it'll be the only result.
[Android Apps and Games] etag:
An video would be good

Without link, it's very difficult to find this...
[Android Apps and Games] cygery:
Yes, a video is a good idea.

I didn't include a link because it's against forum rules.
[Android Apps and Games] etag:
May I delete?
[Android Apps and Games] cygery:
Sure!
[Android Apps and Games] cygery:
I've added the link to the camera app compatibility list to the first post.

If you're using a camera app which isn't supported or only works outside of the lock screen and isn't listed you can contact me via email or post here.

Additionally, I'm contacting developers of camera apps and ask them to make their apps compatible with Quicker Camera Launcher Pro. I've already contacted the developer of Camera Zoom FX and hope for a soon reply (and hopefully an update, too). If you think a specific camera app should be supported please contact either the developer directly and send him the link to the FAQ page or post here and I can contact him.
[Android Apps and Games] Experiences:
Does it use much battery? I wish we had a trial.
[Android Apps and Games] cygery:
It uses almost no battery. Basically, it just runs when the screen turns on, checks the orientation for the configured amount of time and launches the camera app if the orientation matches the desired one. Then it waits again until the screen turns on again. In fact, I haven't seen it yet in the battery stats.

Maybe I'll add a trial in future. There's a seven day refund period but apparently many users either don't think that's enough or don't trust me or something else, I don't know.
[Android Apps and Games] cygery:
There have already been a few smaller updates to Quicker Camera Launcher Pro, most notably the orientation detection was improved. I received a review from a user who experienced that the camera was launched when his phone was lying flat on a table and received an SMS (which caused the screen to turn on). If anyone experiences similar issues with the latest update (version 1.0.3) please post here or contact me via email so I can investigate this further.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lowridincrew,:
So, I hear that you can flash a N7100 rom to our Notes just by flashing the modem? If that's true, where are the modems so I can flash them after I install it or edit the package or something.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] BRANDENDEUCE:
Where did you hear that? I am pretty sure the 7100 has different hardware and the roms are incompatible. You can port roms to our versions but as far as I know only 7105, T-Mobile, and att roms will work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
N7105 ROMs are OK. No need to flash modern unless the ROM you flash has the modem included (very few do). I wouldn't run N7100 ROMs as there is enough of a hardware difference to potentially cause problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lowridincrew,:
Damn, why dont they make ports for our phones? I like PA and Its only for the N7100 =/ Nobody updated the ports in the forum in months.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Hmm...

That might be a fun little project.

Why don't you post in the Gummy ROM thread in your device's forums? Or in the Q&A section for your device?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] buckeyestilidie:
I'm rocking the zero lemon battery and since I've bought plenty of chargers and none seem to fix my slow charging problems is there any wireless chargers? Will me using the zero lemon battery not allow me to use a wireless? Also if all this is fine, does anyone have any recommendations??
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] BunnyPig:
Even though you can try to use that battery with wireless charging it won't fix your slow charging rate. Wireless charging goes max to 0.6 A (600 ma) when it comes to charging. So it's 1/3 the speed of your regular wall socket charger.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] buckeyestilidie:
When I say slow charging I mean it comes up on my screen saying charge it with the cards given. It charges about 30% in about 9-10 hours.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ttabbal:
Something is wrong with your charger or cable then. My ZL charged from ~78%-100% in about an hour last night. The plug adapter that came with the phone and a USB cable I've used for a while, from a Nook I think. Wireless will be VERY slow. It's fine for topping off, but if you drain it down you will want to use a wired charger. You can use a wireless charger with the ZL, there's some info in one of the threads talking about what you need to order. You can't use the contacts on the back of the phone for it, you need to use one of the low profile USB plug type.

If you want fast charging you need to use the adapter that came with your phone, or another known good adapter, and a good quality USB cable. It doesn't have to be USB3, a USB2 cable will work fine, but it needs to be good quality. Monoprice is a good place for inexpensive, but good quality cables.

If you are connecting to a computer USB port, you will charge slow unless it's a USB3 with a USB3 cable.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] buckeyestilidie:
I've bought a couple chargers on eBay and they said it was OEM, but neither have worked. One was a Motorola and the other was one specifically made for the Note 3, or so it said.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ttabbal:
Didn't you get one in the box your phone came in? Try that one. Like batteries, chargers are often fake and don't meet the specs they list.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] buckeyestilidie:
I bought the phone used on swappa
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] FreddyFredFred:
Try a usb 2.0 cable to charge it.

The little extra part for the 3.0 seems to have gone bad in my phone after only 4 months.

If I charge it with the cable that came with it, I have the results you are saying.

If I charge it with a 3 year old usb 2.0 style charger, it charges fine.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] DAvid_B:
Get a usb voltage/current tester. They are like $10. You can test all your chargers and cords and find the under performers.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Grantius:
My phone with zerolemon charges fast with the original samsung charger, and my Asus t100 charger. Fast being relative, from 20% to full it can take 4 hours or so. I've never timed it 100%
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] buckeyestilidie:
Does your battery seem to die quicker right after you unplug it?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Grantius:
Yes, it drops to 97% straight away. This is because it drains in the background a little as the charger doesn't trickle charge. See this for an explanation http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...bump-charging-and-inconsistent-battery-drain/

Hi,

Removing the account is easy:

Start Pocket Outlook, goto menu - tools - options

You see the list of active accounts, just tap and hold the account you would like to remove and the popup menu pops up. Tap on delete and your account will be deleted.

Hope this helps!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christian15213:
NO NO NO... lol tech support just said the same thing... I can't see them... but they are there because when I put the exact same name it says, "you can't have a duplicate account... AND my PBreeze shows them too... but the only active one are the current ones that I have configured correctly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marisa4755:
when this happened to me, I had to hard reset, then used my latest spb backup to back up everything except the mail stuff, then I recreated my accounts, this was what spb advised me to do and it worked.

Good Luck with this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christian15213:
yea, problem is however... that when I first did it I backed up the problem.. LOL... oh geez what an issue... lol I think it is time to start over anyhow.. .
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] linker3000:
How about:

1) Restore your current backup.

2) Backup your device again missing out the mail stuff

3) Hard reset

4) Restore the new backup

I might have to do this shortly :(
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marisa4755:
That's what I ended up doing, it saved me a lot of time as the only thing left to do afterwards was recreate the mail stuff.

Hope it goes OK
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christian15213:
ahhh. lol, I am a dodo head... I see what you're saying now... yes... I get it... lol hmmm wish I thought of that...

however, did you notice problems whith other things as well... for example I use spbtime and get an error all the time can't exucute spbtime.exe notify or something like that... comes up all the time....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] marisa4755:
I seem to remember there were a few minor issues, mostly with programs that I had installed to my storage card. I think there were about 2 apps which I had to uninstall and then re-install to get everything back to absolutely perfect. In my case the issues arose because I had sent back my original Vario II to t-mobile (screen alignment probs) and they sent me a new/reconditioned machine in return. Obviously things must have been very slightly different, and this led to the mail problem.

Apparently another thing which is crucial is setting the time/region etc correctly after a hard reset.

You could try an uninstall and then re-install of this particular application, or look on spb's forum and ask for help there, they are very good with most issues that come up.

I saw suggested on one forum that if doing a hard reset and complete re-installation instead of using backup, it's a good idea to do an extra backup at the stage when only really, absolutely crucial tried and tested applications are on, a kind of 'baseline' backup. However, I've never been patient enough to do this myself!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miller150:
Hey all,

Recently took advantage of Google's 1 time replacement policy as my phone is completely shattered. Received the new one in the mail the next day, installed everything and transferred my data, then went to set the old one up to send it back. I decided to unroot and relock the bootloader, then I went to wipe data via TWRP (why I didn't flash stock recovery before wiping I don't know...) Unfortunately, I was rushing and managed to stupidly hit wipe everything, and I have no OS. The phone is soft bricked. Normally this wouldn't be too much of a challenge, but my phone also refuses to be recognized by my computer (Windows 7). The new one installs drivers and pops up perfectly, but the old one doesn't show up while in bootloader or recovery. When I try to run fastboot commands, any application I try says "Waiting for Device" (including the Kwongger toolkit unbricking setup).

Short explanation: I managed to idiotically wipe the OS, now my computer won't recognize it while it's in TWRP or bootloader.

Anybody have advice on how to fix this and flash a stock image? Should I risk sending it to Google like this?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jd1639:
If you're worried about it, flash the factory image in fastboot. But I wouldn't worry too much. Google's pretty cool about flashing stuff to your phone.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miller150:
How would I go about getting the file onto the phone (my stock backup disappeared from TWRP, forgot to mention that in the OP) if I can't connect to my computer?

Thanks for the reassurance - if I can't get it working by tomorrow I think I'll probably just send it in and see what happens.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
All you can do is try lg flash tool. Link in my signature
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miller150:
Thanks for the advice - I tried it, but the phone doesn't enter download mode. It just enters the powered off but charging state (where the charging battery symbol flashes on the screen).

Additionally, when I launch the FlashTool, it says "LG USB/Parallel lock key is not detected" then sends me to a login screen (it appears this person had the same issue, but solved it without posting how to solve it). Any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I haven't. You can try posting in the LG Flashtool thread... You may get better answers there
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bitdomo:
There is a megalock dll in the crack folder. Replace the original dll with the one from the crack folder.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I wouldn't worry about flashing back to stock. Like said before, Google doesn't really care about what firmware you're running. You're not going to run into any problems if you send the phone back in its current state.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miller150:
That fixed the issue with flashtool, but unfortunately something on my phone must be busted; it won't go into download mode. I tried my new one just to ensure the cable and port were working, and it went right in. I think I'll just have to send it in and hope they don't mind. Thanks for the help guys!
