Okay,

So after flashing to the new radio with Stock #17 kernel that comes with Myn's, getting the white screen, pulling the battery, flashing the netarchy 4.1.9.1 kernel, immediately rebooting, and it finally starting up, my phone is SLOW as can be and the screen transitions are really choppy. 4G, 3G, calls, texting, camera, etc. all work fine, its just slow. I'm conisdering flashing back to the old radio to see if it makes any difference. I've tried netarchy's 4.2.2 Kernels, and it doesn't help. I'm downloading the #15 kernel that was listed above to try that as well.

Help?

Same thing happened to me on myns. Reflash previous radio and all will be well again. I got stuck on fresh only before I figured it out. Thought radio was corrupt.

You cant use the new 1.90 pri with 3.30 rom base. Either go back to 1.77 pri or update to the new 3.70 rom

Asking lots of questions, but when I start learning something I go after it......

I timed the startup on my G-Tablet and from the time I turn on the Power Button to the appearance of the "Home" screen --- it takes 32 seconds.

The first time I saw it I thought I was looking at my Windows 7 machine!!! Actually it (the W7 machine) runs on a SSD and doesn't take a whole lot longer.

Why does it take so long -- and can I shorten the delay? I don't want to do gimmicks or shortcuts that compromise the tablet. But faster would be nice.

Thanks in advance for info and suggestions.

28 seconds on the VEGAn, just timed it.

I don't think that's so bad - it's loading up the kernel, initializing drivers and then the framework. Maybe if it was 2 minutes I would be annoyed, but ~30 seconds seem OK on a powerup. My Pandigital Novel was closer to 60 seconds, if memory serves.

Let's use the litmus test -- how long does it take an iPad to fully power up? I personally have no idea.
[G Tablet General] cshehan:
My IPad takes 22 seconds to boot, so 32 seconds isn't bad.
[G Tablet General] cshehan:
Just got curious about boot times so I checked my iPhone 3GS too, and it took about 47 seconds.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
If that's what it takes and that's normal, then I guess that will have to do.

I guess I had picked up the notion somewhere that boots were supposed to be 15 seconds to so.

Thanks everyone for the benchmarks.

market help

After uninstalling this App i'm having major problems with my regular Market. All the new apps are gone. Not a single app that i recognize. All the Apps seem to be extremely outdated and are "test" apps. Anyone know whats going on here and possible fixes?

Thanks Phil, it's a bit laggy on my Incredible as well, so I think I'll have to rework the way I handle the app icons.
[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
This is strange. The app doesn't touch any settings pertaining to the actual market app. It's completely self contained and accesses data only on the Hawkee severs.
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
confused on how to use this app?

I need some help understanding what this is, what it does, and how to use it.

Is it a second marketplace that is intended to replace the google marketplace?

If yes then I take it to mean that this app's intended use to to search, download, install, and maintain the apps on your phone?

Is this app intended to be used in conjunction with the google marketplace?

If yes then in what ways: searching, sorting, etc?

Is information shared between this app and the google marketplace? For exmaple if you can download apps from this app then do the downloaded apps also show up as being downloaded in the google marketplace?

The above are some of the questions I was thinking but if when replying you can think of other useful advice and info you want to share in how to use the app that would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
Yes this can replace the market in terms of finding new apps. The point of this is to find good, new apps and closely monitor the market. It provides more advanced filters to find specifically what you want. It doesn't scan your apps and offer suggestions. That isn't the goal of this app.
[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
Sorry, I missed the update to your post. The app actually sends you to the market when you choose an app, so yes the downloads count. This app only replaces the searching and browsing process. No data is shared between the two apps.
[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
I just fixed a bug with the price drops not being detected properly. This was a server side fix so no need to update the app.

[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
I was wondering if I could get some feedback on the name of this app. It's a different concept so I had a hard time coming up with a descriptive name. Some other ideas I had were Hawkee App Subscribe, Hawkee Market Subscribe, Hawkee App Monitor, or Hawkee Market Monitor.

[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
Once i installed this app i cannot access the "downloads" section in my regular market. it either says theres no connection, or it force closes. Ive tried uninstalling Hawkee, wiping market data, uninstalling/reinstalling regular market, rebooting.....nothing is fixing this problem, which is obviously a major one
[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
This seems to be unrelated. Did you recently upgrade your market app? This app doesn't have any connection with the market app. It only sends you there when you pick an app.

Sent from my Incredible
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
Nope my last market update was last week. i was browsing my downloads earlier today to check for application updates which i normally do.

i understand that you want to preserve the reputation of your app, and i can respect that. however it seems like a distinct possibility that this app caused this problem. earlier in this thread another poster claimed that this app had an effect on his market, as well.

this is not a personal attack, and there obviously is a chance that both of these incidences are coincidence. but it doesnt sound like it. you may want to look into it, since this app is now public on the forum, youd definitely rather have 2 complaints than several. just a little advice, it doesnt hurt to check, rather than simply sweeping it under the rug.

all i know and can say, aside from i love the idea of your app, ever since installing my market has been malfunctioning, even after a system install/uninstall.
[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
TopShelf, Thanks for the response. I'm sorry to sound like I was so easily dismissing your problem, but I'm on my laptop now and can look into this more thoroughly. I researched the issue you described and came up with this thread:

http://www.google.fm/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=5f475fcdfcc22233&hl=en

The conclusion seems to be that it's a problem on Google's end. People were pointing out a few apps that, when uninstalled, fixed the problem temporarily. But it seems there is no permanent fix yet. Some people suggested installing AppBrain in order to update your apps, but that's certainly not a long term solution.

[Android Apps and Games] devnulldroid:
Of those listed I like Hawkee Market Monitor best. Just me..I was thinking Hawkee Market Watcher or Hawkee App Watcher.

Thanks devnulldroid, since the icon is an android dressed like a delivery man will these suggestions still be suitable?

[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
I think the world filter needs to be somewhere in the title so maybe something like: Hawkee Market App Filter. Or if not in the title in the description make it clear that this app is used to filter the apps found in the google marketplace to help better identify the apps you want to see. This app is not a market replacement but rather once you find an app it directs you to the google marketplace for information about the app and the ability to install it.

I only say that because when I first came across this app I thought it was intended to replace the market completely.

problems finding price drop apps

I am only getting three results when I load the Price Drop subscription: WolframAlpha, CameraFunPro, and SkyDrive.

I have the following settings set for that subscription:

sort by: price drop

age: all time

popularity: 70%

price: paid

language: english

apps: all categories selected

games: all categories selected

[Q] keywords

I understand that the keyword section allows you to further refine the sorting capabilities. Do you allow for an exclusion character to exclude apps with certain words in the title or description?

ex. Let say that I want to find launcher apps but don't want to find any wallpapers. Could I do something like: launcher, home replacement, home, !wallpapers
[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
The way the app works is it collects 30 apps at a time and if you've seen any previously it will only show the new ones. There is a button at the bottom to show all the results.

This is because the new apps aren't always at the top. Sometimes they appear in the middle of the results. So rather than make you traverse the apps you've seen already I hide them.

Any suggestions to make this more clear are certainly welcome.

[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
That's a very good suggestion and I'll try to work it in to the next version.

Sent from my Incredible
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
I am not sure what you mean by seen previously. The same apps are displayed each time whether I click on them or not. I suspect that what you are saying is that if there are more then 30 apps that meet the criteria for that given subscription then once they are displayed an app that hasn't been displayed will be shown over it but if there is less then 30 apps then they will always be displayed. Please correct me if I am wrong.

What is this button you speak of at the bottom of the screen...is it the refresh button?

I changed my popularity rating from 70% to 60% and once I did that I got a new list of about 7 or 6 which consisted of both games and apps. I guess there just weren't any games over a 70% rating that had a price drop.

I am curious to know why SoundHound does not show up in the list of price drops. It is currently listed at 4.99 and when I spoke with them I was told that this price reflects a 20% price drop from 6.99. When I searched your app it had a 72% rating I think which put it above both my 60% and 70% popularity filter.
[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
An app is considered new if you haven't seen it. It doesn't matter if you click the app. That way when you look over the results you'll always see new apps. New apps are indicated by the orange number on the first screen. If there is no orange number you'll see all the previously viewed apps.

The way you can tell if its your first time looking at an app is if the background color is white. Previously viewed apps have a gray background, similar to the gmail app.

You probably only have those few results. If there are more apps to be displayed you will have a "more apps" button show up at the bottom of the list.

As for SoundHound, it could be that we missed the original price and are only aware of the sale price, thus we can't compare.

I had a new idea for the name, how about Hawkee App Scout?

Sent from my Incredible
[Android Apps and Games] Namuna:
Hi Hawkee,

First and foremost, I'm really seeing great potential for this app and particularly its' usefulness! Good job, keep it up!

As to thoughts on the product name, I'm of 2 minds on the matter.

Keep it simply Hawkee and within the description of the app put the details, including 'Market Monitor[ing]'. The word "Hawkee" is fairly distinct, so there's no need to water it down by adding suffixes. :)

or...

How about Hawkee: Android Market Monitor...HAMM for short! :D I'm actually serious, a catchy acronym is good to have for your product...Keeps it in people's mind.

Questions:

Can you give a little more insight into how your "popularity" ranking works? I'm trying to get a sense of how it's filtering apps

How is the input from 'Keywords' used? Case SeNsitiVe? recognizes AND/OR? Literal terms in quotes (ie "Air Control")? so on.

Requests:

- Specific App monitoring, with alerts (like watching for a price drop on Documents To Go).

- Add Notifications/Alerts based on criteria met or general change (like a price drop)

- Wildcard and Regex capability

- Exclusion capability

- Specific app historicals (price history, download count change, new comments, etc...)

- Add better error explanations please. Example; last night I installed a firewall and inadvertently didn't allow Hawkee. Whenever I tried to run a search, Hawkee just kept reporting that it couldn't deliver info... My initial thought was "what the hell is wrong with this app, I'm going to get rid of it", but luckily I remembered the firewall...Had the error initially said something more along the lines of "Unable to retrieve market info: Network not available", then my initial thoughts would've been put in their proper places (like "what the hell is wrong with my 3G now!" or "Did my damned WiFi connection crap itself again!?")
[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
Thanks for the feedback Namuna,

I like your consideration of the acronym. Another idea I had was Hawkee Market Scout (HMS). The thing with the word "monitor" is the icon of a delivery droid may not fit. I'd like to maintain a bit of a theme around the android bringing apps to your phone.

The Popularity ranking is partly based on the downloads in the market which currently stops at only 250,000. The rest of the score is based on the consistency of 5 star market reviews and the number of reviews over the past month. There are other variables involved such as the speed at which the downloads are increasing. For example an app that's only 5 days old and already has 50,000+ downloads will have a higher popularity than an app that has 50,000 downloads and is a year old, so there's an emphasis on the current trend. Apps that were good a year ago but aren't getting many reviews today won't rank so well.

We also take into account information collected at http://www.hawkee.com/android/apps/ such as "likes" and user submitted reviews.

As for the keywords, a comma represents "OR", otherwise it's always "AND". So for example "cats, dogs, cows" would return apps with any of those words while "cats dogs cows" would only return apps with exactly those words. It's not case sensitive. We don't currently support literal terms, but that's a good idea and I'll see about adding it.

Thank you for your requests and we'll certain try to work them in.

- Scott
[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
I just posted a new update. I added the new market categories and improved the search. You can now monitor new apps by publisher, for example pub:Google will show you apps made by Google. You can also do -negative searches to exclude certain apps and "exact match" searches to look for particular keyword phrases.

I changed the certificate, so if you're upgrading you'll have to uninstall before upgrading.

Thank you!

- Scott
[Android Apps and Games] Namuna:
Hi Scott,

More observations and requests:

- a little gotcha with the 'pub' search, the word itself is case sensitive. I use a soft keyboard that auto capitalizes the first letter of a word, and inadvertently entered 'Pub' and then the rest of the search term... Hawkee hung on searching and required fc to break.

- please add functionality to cancel/break a search in-progress. As in the previous item, an fc had to be done to cancel the search

- sometimes when a refresh is done, while on a search result page, a blank screen is shown (even though there should definitely be content). Going back to the main screen, then re-clicking the search usually gets the results expected.

Do you twitter updates about Hawkee? If not, can you start! I want to know asap when you update this badboy ! :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Namuna:
Oh, another request...

Please, PLEASE, PLEASE!!! Add a help screen with details on how to use keywords (ANDs, ORs, negatives, pub:, [un]quoted, etc...).

Would be great to be able to reference the info directly in the app, vs. having to hunt back through this thread.

Thanks!

help with keywords

Hi

How exactly do you use negative keyword parameters?

Must exact matches now have to include double quotes or does separating them with spaces still work?
[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
You do the negative keywords like you would on Google: youtube -downloader. Quotes indicate that you want the phrase to be in that exact order. Without quotes means it needs to have all of the words but not in that order.
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
help with the following search

I have a category called launchers. It is for launchers and home replacement apps like ADW, Launcherpro, etc. I have the following as my keywords:

-livewallpaper, launcher, "home replacement", home, -wallpaper​

The problem is that after 4+ mins. I am still on the "Please wait... receiving delivery" screen. The circular loading icon is moving so the phone hasn't froze. Pressing the back button on the phone doesn't do anything. I have to press the home button to move to the home screen but when I relaunch the app the "please wait... receiving delivery" screen is still there. The only way to return to using the app is to force stop it.
[Android Apps and Games] Hawkee:
Yes, I'm aware of the loading problem and will have that fixed in the next version. I did make some server side changes just now to support your query. It should give you some results now. I modified the logic slightly to treat any negative keyword as global across the entire query regardless of the commas.

Also, on a side note you can test your more complicated queries at our website to quickly refine without going through the slower process of testing queries through your phone:

The Amazon marketplace has a very nice feature that lets you save an app that you are viewing. This way if you see an app that is interesting but you don't want to download it at the time yo have a note of it

Question:

I take it the app hasn't been released to the android marketplace yet?
