Hello Android Gamers. For those of you who enjoy casual online multi-player growing games I would like to let you know about a new game myself and another developer have recently released on the App Market.

The game is named Weed Farmer. It provides adult players the ability to experience the challenges and rewards of being a marijuana farmer. Players control all aspects of the growing from seed germination to harvest. Featuring 30 unique strains and over 80 different types of equipment and consumable items.

To learn more about the game you can go to the game's web site or search the App Market for Weed Farmer.

Everything seemed to go ok and I have root access, however my SU has started FCing on me all the time and everytime I try to get into CWM it just goes blank screen. I believe that I am in CWM as when it goes blank if I push power it reboots and comes up fine. After reading about it I found that I may need ENG S-off for it to work correctly. I used the one-click eng s-off from here:

The tool is giving me a bootloader corrupt do not reboot phone seek help from XDA. I have not done anything else with the phone at all. Please let me know where to go from here. I am an experienced PC user however more of a novice/intermediate android/linux/adb user.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone may be able to provide.

Edit: I feel kinda stupid as after reading more threads, I was able to 1. Clear data from SU so it would open and, leaving SU open provide permission of the program and it ran fine. However, if your SU is constantly FCing the only way to get permission to it is to have it OPEN during the eng-off run.

Hi, I got some feedback about colours legibility, so I've added a poll about it.

My idea was to colour code data, in order to avoid repeating labels.

Even if you don't want to install it, I would be grateful if browsing the video you could leave a feedback here. Thanks

Live Tiles

Hi again. I get quite a bit of feedback, both in comments and via email, about the absolute _imperial_ need of a live tile, without which no application should be published !

Just to make things clear: the live tile is coming, but there are a few more important sections and improvements that should be taken care of. Moreover, there is a good reason why it takes a bit to implement and why people are reticent to do so: it just doesn't work reliably yet. It has been clear now for some months, that push notifications in the current form have met the obstacle of carriers network management and while the issue is being worked on and improved, they're still not very reliable. Basically the network operator doesn't want to keep the connection open for push notifications too much and on the other side the ms protocol is failing to 'force' the network to comply.

Some more informations here: http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2011/02/17/push-notification-status.aspx

Again, the live tile is coming, it has been working almost ok for a month on my test unit. But really, while impressive and cool, there are more useful updates to provide first.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] menger:
Hi, this application is quite complete regarding forecasts. Are you planning to include webcams at some point ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Yep, webcams are planned for the future updates, not in the upcoming one, though, maybe the one afterwards

The problem in implementing them is that you can't just link random webcams on the web, you have to get a list with permissions given from the owners
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Updated today with GPS location, autorefresh, news feeds and some other stuff.

Coming up: webcams
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] piaqt:
Nice look. Needs °F option, zoom for maps, scalable text. Would consider buying no-ad version.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Thanks a ton. You're right about farenheit degrees, considering I've already implemented english language.

Zoom for maps was implemented at the start, then the fact that it wouldn't work very well with the swipe gesture and the relatively readability of the maps made me remove it. Do you think they need zooming because you can't read them well enough ?

Scalable text in which section ?

No-ad was an idea from the start, however we're considering releasing every future feature (live tile, etc) for free anyway.

Thanks for the feedback
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jcamposlisgolfe:
I HTC HD2 (with WM 6.5) and although I have a couple of meteo apps.installed

I would like to try yours, which indeed seems very atractive.

Any chance and, if yes, how to do it ??:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] banvetor:
I installed it today... very nice graphs! the only thing I still need to do is to see if the forecast is indeed right... if it is, and when the live tile comes on, I may even cancel my daily e-mail forecast from my preferred forecaster ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
hehe thanks good to know. I'm obviously very unrelated to those that provide the forecast itself, but in the weeks I've tried it, it seems to me it works even better than the other more famous italian provider (more famous for consumer-level, actually this is a lot more business-level).

Try to avoid updating the forecast for 24/48 hours and see if the 'now' detail is correct !
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
To the best of my knowledge there is no way to use wp7 apps on winmo... you would have to install wp7 !
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Cyruss89:
If you want I could do the German localization for you.

I like your app and it will replace Weather Duck asap when the live tiles are ready ;-)

If you want me to do it just DM me your mail or ping me on Twitter: @cyruss1989
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Thanks ! that would be cool and I just might contact you as soon as the next update resource files are done. On the other hand, my girlfriend is german, I hope she won't be jealous hehehe

Seriously though, I'd rather send you the resource files to translate when they are 'complete' so that you don't have to do that twice, even if they would have to be updated now and then.

Again, thanks for the offer
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Do you want to give it a look in the meantime ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Translations

Ok, looking for translators for french and spanish. I can read both but I'm not sure about syntax in writing.

So if you're interested, drop me a line here, the resources file aren't big at all
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Hi again,

I'm striving to pass the next update through certification, however it seems (as reported by some) that certification parameters have become more tight recently and they won't let you pass the small things as before.

This is maybe good, but that also means that it might take a while to 'fix' the application, especially in the most complex parts, i.e. it's not that the updates aren't coming, it's just that it needs some polishing.

As mentioned, next update includes webcams, the one after that 'could' include live-tiles, if there isn't any other important weather data to include in the application.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Victory ! Certification passed in record time this once !

That's weird, it took only one day...

First post updated as soon as I'm home
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] keres7:
Really nice app. Are you going to release also a paid version ad free?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Thanks. Well I thought that at the start, maybe adding some extra functionality, while keeping all the available data also in the free version.

A possible paid version could for example include:

- more save slots available

- possibility to enter your webcam links

- some extra live tiles

what do you think ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] keres7:
At the moment, if we do not consider the missing live tile (which in most cases doesn't work smoothly), this is the best weather app.

Your suggestion does make sense, a free version with some restrictions and a paid one with some additional features will gain, for sure, a 5 stars rating.

Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Thanks. Based on my intentions and what I've already established with the weather provider, you can be sure core functionality and all the available weather data will always be free.

My doubts on a paid app stem from the fact that since it's a 'browsable' app, you can easily make some money with ads support, especially if people start clicking on them (hint, hint, hehe).

As for the live tile, to be honest while I do want to implement it and I've already made quite a few tests, I'm still maintaining that it's far more important to provide as much weather information as possibile and present it in a nice way. Since 3B offers a whole lot of services (more to come, too), I'd be more interested in implementing them for the time being, while working in the spare time on the live tile. As you said, live tile should become more reliable with time (as well as a push notification for weather alerts) and right now it's a bit of a pain to make them work, or more importantly, can degrade the polish level of the application, when they don't work.

Thanks for the feedback, please keep sending ideas and opinions, especially on the interface.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Live tile ready, but...

Live tile is ready.

Big problem: the live tile push stack here (and maybe not only with these mobile network operators) basically doesn't work.

On the emulator, the live tile works perfectly, while on the phone I keep getting TempDisconnected errors.

I thought the problem was solved with NoDo but that is not the case, so I've open a support ticket with Microsoft and will see what they say.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Live Tiles ! for Worldwide Locations

Finally we pushed the Live Tiles update ! Please consider they're still in beta, an update has already been pushed that makes them more reliable (and won't crash the app).

You can choose between 3 Live Tiles types:

- Now (Weather at the moment)

- Forecast (6h step forecast)

- Webcam (only italian locations, sorry !)

In the meantime, please come back here and let us know how you find them and how they work for you !
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] keres7:
Hi andycted, I've updated the app but when I try to enable the live tile I get always the same error "Failed to open channel". Moreover, after that operation, it's no longer possible to open the app again since it crashes continuously.

Any suggestion?

Thks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
This could be caused by a couple of reasons.

- Nodo that broke push for someone (hard reset or regedit to solve it)

- A glitch in the Microsoft push notification service, that keeps inexplicably some phones locked for a while

Either way, I'm sorry about the crash, which I tracked down and fixed in the next update coming tomorrow. For now, you can uninstall and reinstall the app !
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
I'm starting to see positive feedback on the marketplace and a few emails flew in with ok results from the live tile. Anybody else had problems ?

I had about 800 registrations to the live tile (yikes) in the last day, they're not all active as of now, of course, but the system seems to be stable enough.

Did you fix your live tile somehow ? I think you can do a few more things beside hard reset, like waiting a couple of hours, turn off, remove sim, turn on with wifi and see if it works...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] menger:
Nice live tiles, are you going to add more ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] keres7:
Till now I've not been able to make this app working properly. I didn't try the hard reset yet because I'd prefer to test the upcoming version first.

You mentioned a regedit method, is there a trick I could apply by changing some registry key?

However, it sounds strange to me, I've some other app with live tile that is working without problems at the moment, even though, sometimes, there is a delay in updating.

In any case, I want to thank you for your patience.

Cheers
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
the big problem with live tiles is that there are a ton of things that can go wrong, from the network, to the Microsoft service, to the app. The crash is a bad response to a very particular problem in the first two, it's a bug which is fixed in thethe upcoming update, but ultimately doesn't solve the connection issue. In other words the app won't crash but tiles won't update.

From the log of the first two days I can roughly say there's a 80% success rate, 15% without updates and 5% with the aforementioned crash too...

I have three devices. On one I was able to receive push notifications reliably only after deleting a couple of registry keys .

I'll give you the link as soon as I can, now I'm not arlt home . Hard resetting has the same result I think.

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Did you see the updated post with the link ? You have to unlock the phone first, not sure how it's done after nodo...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] keres7:
Hi andycted, I've tried what you suggested and finally it works!

Fortunately, I've an Optimus 7 therefore, by entering in the MFG menu, I've able to unlock the phone and install "registry editor.xap" file and erase the two keys, as described in the topic you linked.

The live tile is really nice and it works like a charm.

I'd say that also the other live tiles seem to be faster now.. Microsoft should improve such a functionality since a lot of users like it!

What could I say..? Thank you for your great job and for your strong support. Carry on like this!

Ciao
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Excellent ! Did you update to v 1.6 first ? That should have solved the crash, although as I said it wouldn't make the live tile work.

Glad you're enjoying it, feel free to post a few suggestions if you have them.

Especially on the colour scheme and live tiles.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] keres7:
No, I've updated to v1.6 after the registry modification.

I have a question regarding the update of the weather forecast Is it possible to get it automatic once entered in the application (instead of pushing the relevant button)?

I like the live tile and color scheme appearance, considering that now it is also possible to set soft colors.

What I would suggest is: add information about sunrise and sunset and change the icons accordingly (different icons for day and night).

It would be intersting to have also some indication about the moon phase, in a dedicated page, to avoid confusion.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Yeah, thanks those about sunrise/sundown are good ideas. I would have to calculate it though, since there is no such information in the feed that they're passing me.

Tell you the truth, the soft colours were put together hastly before pushing the live tile update, I haven't put much effort into it. It's more a 'what do you think' feature, that can be improved.

About refreshing the weather automatically, now it's possible only after 24h. At the start I set this limit because I thought that maybe we shouldn't waste server resources. Then again, the forecast server isn't mine (the Live Tile one is, and it's getting hit pretty bad ! I might have to upgrade it or start using my Azure server) and since it's quite a big weather provider, it shouldn't be a problem to lower that interval to maybe 3-4 hours. More often simply doesn't make much sense since they won't change the forecast so quickly most of the time.

Update 1.6, with Live Tiles problems solver:

Anybody having trouble NOT receiving a single live tile update, please report the message that you can obtain like this, either here or by email:

- open the app

- enable live tiles

- close the app

- reopen the app

- go to the live tiles page

- wait 5 seconds

- press the '?' button

Live Tile status

Live Tiles seem to work better than first thought so far.

Success rate in sending the tile has risen above 80%, which means that on average, if I'm sending the tile 24 times a day, you will get it 20 times. This is actually very good and can account for those times when the phone is out of coverage.

On the other hand there are still a few cases which have problems, they can mostly be divided in two parts:

1. people who have their push notification blocked on the phone

2. very frequent, long, "temporary disconnection" problems

n.1 means that -because of bug in the push notification service- your phone is 'locked' out of push notifications, for the most part. Apparently it can be solved only by the registry edit method or hard reset. So far I'd say it's a very small % of users that get this problem, but since I can't get any communication on the server from them, I'm not too sure. I'm in contact with 3 users who have this situation and will try if we can find alternative solutions.

n.2 is the network carrier problem. Some carriers are worse than others at mantain an open connection required for push. Tre Italia is one of these. I'm on Tre and can see this problem happen quite frequently. It usually goes away after a couple of hours, but sometimes it can last longer.

Either way, there isn't a lot I can do about it I think, but I'm glad it works for most people.

Please keep the good feedback coming in the marketplace to encourage development.

PS: by the way, my webservice is getting hit pretty badly with all the tile requests. If by chance one day you won't see updates anymore, it means it's blown up and I'm upgrading to a bigger one, hehe
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
As predicted there are so many people using 3b now that it has live tiles that the server is now and then crashing.

First: thanks a lot fit choosing our app !

Second : I'm going to move it to azure briefly. If you miss a live tile now and then...don't worry it's going to be fixed !
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Update to 1.7

New update pushed:

- Sunrise and sunset times

- Better feedback on what is going on with the live tile. So you can understand (and report back) where the problem lies. Which usually is either:

1. Microsoft Push System doesn't work

2. Everything else is ok but your carrier closes connections too often

- 3B meteo is expanding their DB of locations

- a few improvements to the interface

- Fixed the national forecast page (without connection it crashed)

Congrats, especially on the live tile implementation. I was wondering how to read the 6 hour forecast information on the live tile?

FYI, it seems the temperature for Singapore and Nagoya (Japan) are not correct. Appreciate if you could check on that please.

Btw, have given you my support on marketplace. :-)

Sent from my HD7 T9292 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Thanks a lot for the support and feedback.

The 6h step works like this: let's say it's 11:00 AM. On top you'll se the average forecast for the next 6h period, that is 12:00 AM - 06:00 PM

On the bottom part you'll see the next 4 six hour steps, which would be

06PM (today)-12PM (tomorrow)

12PM-06AM

06AM-12AM

12AM-06PM

I'm working to implement different types of tiles, however I'm evaluating if putting them in a separate paid app.

Regarding the forecast... I'm not handling them, but the town code-forecast system is ok. You might want to contact 3B support (email in the about page) about this.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] zard:
I'm referring to current temperature for Singapore being not accurate. I tried to check out 3B website but can't tell if current temperature is accurate or not, since I can't read the language. Would appreciate if you could check the reading you get against another app, e.g. Weather Channel, and also 3B website.

Thanks.

Sent from my HD7 T9292 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
I will check with 3B Meteo website. Checking with a different weather provider would just prove that the reading for that hour/day is off for some reasons which we can't do much about it, I think.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
I think you might be right. There is probably some glitch with the timezone, due to some modifications in the last few versions. Thanks for reporting, I will surely fix it in the next version, or at worse, the one after that.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
Hi again. Can you help me debug this ? The feed provided by 3B Meteo isn't exactly crystal clear on how it handles foreign location, has a few errors too which leads me to believe someone made it more complex than it should.

Anyway, could you check at this page:

http://www.3bmeteo.com/meteo/singapore/singapore

whether the day part (morning,afternoon, etc) forecast is the same as the one that appears on your phone ?

Mattino = Morning

Pomeriggio = Afternoon

Sera = Evening

Notte = Night

I strongly suspect it's using in some parts the italian hour and at times the local time...

Thanks !
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] andycted:
I might have found the issue, will probably put out a new version briefly.

Have you checked that page ?

Hey, I think I've found a bug.
