[APP][BETA] GPS Calculator PRO [R] 11 APR 2012 [V] 5.5 - Windows Phone 7 Software Development

Hello again fellow windows phone 7 users! Once again I’m looking for people willing to participate in the private beta-testing program of my newest app. The app to be released is called “GPS Calculator PRO” and it will be an even more advanced version of the most advanced GPS calculations app “GPS Calculator”. Currently this app can be used to accurately calculate distances, get altitude information from digital elevation models, calculate areas, project locations and convert coordinates between several different formats, including UTM. New version adds an advanced trip computer, track recording and SkyDrive integration and track and waypoints (favorites) import/export using GPX format. GPS Calculator PRO is an old style app that cannot be described using words like social or fun, but can definitely be described as useful, interesting and doing advanced math. Now, if you use SkyDrive, if you hike, bike or run, if you like GPS technology or want to learn more about it – I need your help.
As per usual process please send me your live-id if you want to try this beta app.

Here is a guide: http://lj2.karlson.ru/wp7/gps/guide_en.htm

You can send me a beta link at davor.radman at hotmail.com

This is weird. Maybe I sent you an outdated link accidentally or the live-id you gave me is not the live-id of your phone. Are you sure mibs68 at-mark hotmail dot com is correct? I can generate a new link for you, if you would like too.

Totally Awesome app!!! Very specialised for cartography needs, you'll never lost yourself with that on your device!! Also a pleasant entertainment app if you're curious about your environment...you can compare how big is your field next to the neighbors ones

Will download the new link tonight.

hm, never got an email..

Facebook Application - The big question!

Hi guys,
I Found the Facebook application of xperia phone on the net. The only problem is that you can't start it is because you need the xperia panel system.
Now my question is: Can anyone make this app work on the Touch HD or other phones (without making use of the xperia panel system)?
Any voluntiers for this job or is it simply impossible?
Damn, this is the same questions I was about to ask. It's been 18 days since your post, someone must know something, or be working on something by now.
Or alternatively use the search function on this forum!
In the Developing section there is a thread about this and someone has already tried to port the FB Xperia app onto WM6.1 without much success.
Regards
Xperia's Panel system is used as a framework for applications, so if this Facebook Application use it, I don't think you can easily use it without the panel system.
The only chance is to port the panel system correctly.
just use opera and link: http://m.facebook.com .... it is the best.....!!
put this link to your fav !!!
I have it as my homescreen you can use as well iphone.facebook.com but I don't like it as much as the original mobile site.. Just try both and use the one for your needs. The only thing I miss in the mobile facebook is the chat, other I have everything. hehe, I even forgot how the normal facebook page looks like
greets, cad^^
Well guys I use http://iphone.facebook.com/ ... for now... I see a lot of interesting facebooks apps being made for wm but none have really been released. We'll just have to wait some time
yeah the iphone site seems to solve all needs for an actual app. Thanks for the tip.

I tried Snap2Face last year and it was fine. I just don't do much photo snapping with the HD (for obvious reasons) and uploading to facebook is mostly from my excellent Lumix FZ28
am I the only one that cant get the http://iphone.facebook.com site to work. It brings up all the tabs but no info displays. I'm using the stock AT&T rom. Do I need to upgrade my Opera version?

Hey Gareth,

Guys, you obviously don't know that there is a leaked new Microsoft Facebook app that works quite well on Touch HD!
I have installed it few days ago (search the general forum) and have been very happy with it. Some bugs, yes, but it's like 0.4 version, so it's really early beta.
However, lot of cool functions are there - my favorite: Facebook phonebook! It lists all your Facebook friends that have entered their phone numbers or e-mails and sorts them into alphabetical order. Very useful if you need to call someone and you don't have him / her in your Contacts.

Hi Rozenthal,
I am using this at the moment as well. It is a nice start, I hope MS are doing something more than that. If you look at the video of the Xperia Facebook app, then that's the way to go. It is also based on Windows Mobile, but it uses part of the SonyEricsson panel framework, that's why it might be hard to port it over to other phones.
I expect a lot more apps coming in the next time who are a bit more interactive and more than just a bunch of lists. I am also missing something like the INQ1 from Three already has and is expected on the Palm Pre which does full integration with the phonebook.
If I had some know how of the Facebook API and somebody who is better with graphics than I am, I would love to do something based on the .net CF framework...

Yes, I think for such an early beta it's very promising. And I'm without doubt that this app is only a hint of what's coming on WinMo regarding Facebook integration. I don't have to remind everyone that Microsoft is quite a large Facebook share-holder, so I would guess this alone will enable them to produce better app's then what the competition has to offer.
Not to mention what's gonna happen when Microsoft launches it's WinMo app market system.
As for the full Facebook - WinMo Contacts integration, there's a hint of it on latest Dutty ROMs. There's Facebook integration support that will enable the user to associate his phonebook Contacts with Facebook accounts. Probably with Calendar as well. The integration does not function yet, tough, but it's pretty easy to guess what it would do.
I've been discussing the theoretical functions of this ever since first Manilla3 ROM came up. I predict that it will pull data such as birth date, phone number, e-mail, contact photo, home address etc. directly from Facebook and integrate that information into WinMo Contacts. I also assume that it will pull "upcoming events" into Home screen.
Btw, from what I know (not much ) Facebook API is very stiff and far from being friendly for 3rd party apps pulling data out.
Indeed, it works perfect on the touch hd.

[Q] Any luck with torrent apps?

Was hoping to find something like Torrent Fu.
Anyway I installed uView utorrent and FSSI Torrent 7 on a free trial. Couldn't get either to work. Then looked at uController but it needs some .net 4 program on my PC to work.
What the hell is going on. I'm not cheap. I will pay £1.99 for a torrent app that works with isohunt.com. Please help.
What about Torrent Remote and Torrential.
Maybe it's my fault.
In uView settings - Your Torrent host I entered my IP address.
Sorry everyone. Its midnight here in London.
I was running utorrent 2.0.4. Normally it updates itself on startup. But this time it didn't update to 2.2. Got 2.2 now. Everything fine.
BTW what torrent app do you like?

Definitely uController. The service running on your PC makes it stand out above the others.
The service for uController is there to provide additional information above and beyond what you'd normally get with the uTorrent webUI.
Namely 'live' tile updates that show how many torrents are currently downloading (in the current build); and
A toast notification whenever a new torrent is added. You can restrict this this so it doesn't ding between certain hours (in the development build).
Admittedly being the developer of uController, I'm biased, but I think those two things make installing a small service on your PC an acceptable proposition.
uController doesn't allow the addition of torrents right now, but it's already implemented in development (via RSS feeds).

Can you just make a Fu Torrent clone? No PC software to install. Stop, remove, and pause of torrents. Search torrents available from Isohunt and TPB within the app. And of course add torrents.
This is all I'm asking for. But I'm willing to pay good money to someone who can deliver.

Sorry, i won't be doing it. I built this for my own uses, so I build it to suit my needs.
There are 3 other apps that might suit your needs.
I thought they said the microsoft was going to allow torrent apps in wp7. Only apps allowed would be allowed to view your torrents, but not add new ones.
+1 for uController, the live tile works well and the service running on your main torrent pc isn't a big deal.
Looking forward to the update that will allow the adding of torrents from rss feeds. A question for the developer: does this mean you can view the rss feed and select the torrents you want? Is it the service app or the device app downloading the torrent?
Oh yeah, and two small cosmetic things; when you run the app the "connecting to xxx.xxx" message at the top is overlapping the uController title (it looks a little untidy), and the app doesn't remember which group of torrents you were looking at last time you ran the app (ie downloading, or seeding, or what have you), it always reverts to All Torrents (which is a bit slow when you have a lot of torrents).
Great so far though, you wouldn't know how often the other torrent apps are going to get updated but this one is on version 1.2 already.

You view the RSS feed on the device, but the downloading is done on your PC. Nothing is downloaded on the device (given how small the storage is on some of them, and no background apps, it would be virtaully impossible anyway).

Yeah, I know. It is designed to mirror other apps that have the loading information across the top of the page, even if it overlaps with other information. Using the light theme it works better as it has a background tint... I might move it centrally like I have done with the RSS feed progress bars.

v1.3 has hit the market place, you should see the update available soon. The major additions are the ability to add torrents and push notifications when a new torrent is added.

I've tidied this up a bit by adding some chrome background to the text. I tried it in the middle of the page, but it looked worse. The chrome helps the untidiness I think.

I added this in, however there was some weird behaviour happening. It would work well on the All, Downloading and Paused pivots but would crash out with the stopped and seeding pivots. There is no obvious reason for it, so I had to take it out to do the release.
I'll try to nut it out.

Grabbed the 1.3 update this morning and have been trying it out over lunch. I added some TV Show RSS feeds to the service app this morning before heading out, and I am happy to report that I can see these RSS feeds on my handset and add the torrents that I want from the feed. Works perfectly. I have also been able to set an upload limit for my torrents, great! If I can add one tiny suggestion, that each torrent in the RSS feed might also show the date it was added to the feed? Just in case I end up downloading an episode from a previous week if there was no new episode this week... or would it even be possible to have a * or some other indicator beside a feed that has a new torrent available? thanks

That looks much tidier indeed thanks! and the "loading torrents" dialogue is a great addition (it was tricky in previous releases to know if the app was busy or not)

Cheers for giving it a go, but actually this update makes torrents appear much faster at launch, so remembering the previous pivot isn't as much of a big deal IMO?

1.3 was a fantastic update thanks! But the toast notification for new torrents being added: how does this work? Does the RSS feature automatically add new torrents from the RSS feeds you've used previously and then send a notification?
By the way, I've rated the app on the marketplace but it looks like the marketplace reviews are segmented between regions. I'm in Ireland so there are only about a dozen ratings across the entire Marketplace! Bit of a bummer really since it's not possible to see rating and reviews from other regions.

Shouldn't be a problem to add the date. The feed should contain that information already, it's just a matter of putting it into the UI.

Nice to hear. Basically it just works for any torrent added during the time period. It's mainly designed to capture torrents automatically added via the RSS function built into uTorrent. It doesn't use the feeds you've added into the client.

To get started, you really need to know how webUI in uTorrent works.
In essence, if you can get uTorrent and WebUI set up to the extent that you are able to:
(a) Access WebUI from any other computer on your home network
(b) Access WebUI from a computer outside your network via an external IP address. ie from your mobile phone, or a computer at work
...then you will have no trouble setting up uController. Bear in mind that all the uTorrent remote access apps on the marketplace will require that you can configure and setup WebUI. See this for instructions on getting set up.
Once that's done, and you can definitely connect to webUI, follow the instructions pdf for uController here and you'll be grand.

Yes, the service connects to the WebUI so it needs to be set up. Instructions are available and linked in the post above.
The pdf needs to be updated to take into account the features added since release, but the setup should be adequately explained. If you're having any specific problems, let me know.
So we have some torrent apps... that says something about Marketplace approval and copywright issues. So where are the emulators?

Need testers - new Online RadioX application

Hi guys,
I want to introduce you a new free software for WM called Online RadioX.
It is very important to know your opinion about this application. Please, test the program in your devices and tell us about bugs, lacks e.t.c.
Superb!
It's superb dude. I like the graphics too. How do I add stations?
Installed on my home brewed Topaz.
ps. I like your Online Tvx too. But not free.
No channel for my country, Malaysia.
Thanks, unfortunately you can't add stations directly in application.
If you want to add a station, please, complete new channel report form
...
quickly tested it before my battery goes dead
*delete .lnk from program files folder = not needed because a .lnk is in the start menu folder
* i think radiox has a problem with s2u2 auto lock.
#this registry string will add your app to the exceptions list.
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2\Exceptions\"ExceptionEXE99"="radiox.exe")
if i like it ill add it to my rom
thanks
Rn
thanks in advance raving_nanza.
What is your device?
np dude,
using blackstone/touch hd
*is there a way we can make our own skins for your app?
thanks

a database updater (don't need to install again whenever updated),
a language selector/indicator (can filter using default language of the radio),

hmm, and probably a suggestion link sender ( To send link of radio station of my recommendation to developer -- most of the time we only know the website, but have no idea how to extract the streaming link)
Going to the more advance and fancy side, putting a Globe/Global map where we can zoom into and let us filter content by region.
Enable background streaming and playing .... we seldom just listen and do nothing else, and probably schedule streaming recording (some of the radio show that we wish to listen but the timing is no good for some people on others side of the globe/on work)
that's all i can thought of from first run, actually this run quite heavy on ram (eat 25MB of ram when running ... probably some fat trimming as well)

[TOOL] AppThwack - Easily test apps on real devices we host

Hi, I'm Trent and I co-created AppThwack, a service for on-demand automated testing of Android apps on real devices. Basically, you upload an apk and a couple minutes later you get screenshots and logcat dumps from actual phones and tablets we host.
Beta Users Needed
We're currently looking for devs to join our private beta. You can message me or sign up on our website and I'll get a beta code to you shortly. We're trying to stress the system and make additions/adjustments so the service is as useful as possible for developers.
Current Features
Real phones and tablets: About 20 high- and low-end devices and we add a few more every week.
Fast: See results in real time. Full test runs on all devices takes a minute or two to complete.
Selectable default tests: Install, launch, UI Monkey, Cleanup
Configurable tests: For example, specify the number of UI Monkey events and seed the randomizer
JUnit including Robotium support via uploaded test packages
Screenshots in portrait and landscape on all devices
Logcat and filterable logcat viewer
High-level results sortable by device or test
Full stack-traces for any exception that occurs
Future
We're working on adding more test frameworks like monkeyrunner and more default tests, particularly performance tests that measure battery consumption, CPU usage, etc. We're also adding more data visualization and charting so it's easy to see what some of the gathered statistics mean.
We plan to launch soon, but the beta program will remain in effect even after that. The service will follow a freemium model. Again, the beta is free and we're going to keep it in place even after we eventually launch.
Inter-device automation
Our back-end supports device-to-device automation, so if you have an app or scenario that you'd like to test that involves multiple devices or interaction with other devices, even non-Android devices, let me know. We're looking for people to help us develop how this service will be exposed.
Edit: I can't post links, but if you search for "appthwack" you'll find it. Btw, I've apparently lurked since October, 2008. Yikes.
Just wondering will this support of testing apps that require root?
Also any chance we can see like a live pic of the device when it installs the app and opens it?

Right now it does not and all of our phones are as close to stock as possible. I'll look into making it an option so we automatically root before your app installs and then un-root after the tests are complete. Root opens up some new possibilities, both good and bad, so I'll need to think about it.

Yes! The launch test takes a screenshot in both landscape and portrait. You can see all screenshots sorted by device by clicking "By Device" or "By Test" and clicking the "Screenshots" link in the blue box at the top.
Screenshots also show up in each launch test log so you can see the context as the shot was captured. Logcat dumps show up in the same place (Link from the blue box at the top will open a filterable and highlighted log viewer).
Alright thanks I'll try it out tonight

Holy cow. Didn't realize such web service existed.
I just signed up and currently having a look around. Is it possible for me to join the beta? Thanks!
Is it possible for a "free" upgrade for my account? Heh just asking
EDIT : Created a new project. Then I'm stuck. The "Runs" tab is empty.
EDIT again : Oh.. uploading had error previously. Uploading again.
Very interesting project. Good luck to your team and I hope I can be a good beta tester
Realy interesting, for us, almost of our apps needs root access, so please think about adding root to your service

Real phones and tablets: About 20 high- and low-end devices and we add a few more every week.
Fast: See results in real time. Full test runs on all devices takes a minute or two to complete.
Selectable default tests: Install, launch, UI Monkey, Cleanup
Configurable tests: For example, specify the number of UI Monkey events and seed the randomizer
JUnit including Robotium support via uploaded test packages
Screenshots in portrait and landscape on all devices
Logcat and filterable logcat viewer
High-level results sortable by device or test
Full stack-traces for any exception that occurs
Future
We're working on adding more test frameworks like monkeyrunner and more default tests, particularly performance tests that measure battery consumption, CPU usage, etc. We're also adding more data visualization and charting so it's easy to see what some of the gathered statistics mean.
We plan to launch soon, but the beta program will remain in effect even after that. The service will follow a freemium model. Again, the beta is free and we're going to keep it in place even after we eventually launch.
Inter-device automation
Our back-end supports device-to-device automation, so if you have an app or scenario that you'd like to test that involves multiple devices or interaction with other devices, even non-Android devices, let me know. We're looking for people to help us develop how this service will be exposed.
Edit: I can't post links, but if you search for "appthwack" you'll find it. Btw, I've apparently lurked since October, 2008. Yikes.

I would like to test the tool, can you share with me..
Tested
Tested the tool, seems too good..
Suggestion : In-case if you want to reach maximum number of developer. Allow developer to use has free.
IDEA : You can request developer to post about you're tool on there app page, website & play store... As you're giving the tool as free you will get enough number of people to view & use the tool.. if the developer agree then you will allow him to use the tool for free of cost..
As a developer am ready to use the tool & post about you in my app & other places too...
This is a great tool, just uploaded an apk of my app that's in my signature and it worked, with a couple of NullPointers from the Play Store's licence service. That shouldn't happen, and doesn't on any of my devices, so I suspect it's an issue on your end. Any idea why?

Borland
We are using Silk Mobile for end to end applications testing. Do you ever used this tool?
What an interesting service! I'll look into this from work tomorrow.
Not having used this at all, the first things which do spring to mind are:
-streaming realtime logcat
-a (skype?) connection with live streaming video of the app running, so you can see layouts/animations etc.
Anyway, I'm going to check this out tomorrow!

Thanks for checking out the service. My immediate guess it that this is caused by the absence of a default Play account. Many devices have no account as one of our supported frameworks, calabash, removes accounts upon cleanup after script completion. On the plus-side, if you were to write scripts you should be able to add a temporary account from the test itself.
Highly unlikely you'd hit this bug in a real world situation, but it is a bug nonetheless.
Really awesome service! Can't test it for the moment as it doesn't support root apps, but this is really a great concept :good:
Maybe you could build a superuser permissions manager which would grant root access but makes sure to keep /system mounted as read-only, this way no harm could be done to the devices and us root apps devs could use your awesome service.
I actually got quite a few ideas, you could delete the mount binary in /system/xbin and use it in an internal appthwack app's private data, so that it's the only app able to call this binary and thus to mount /system.
I'd definitely subscribe to AppThwack if it had root support.
If you want help with developing this kind of secure root environment for the testing, I'd gladly contribute.
EDIT : Strangely enough, I just tested it with my app (which asks for root in the launcher activity, so I really didn't expect it to work) and had 0 failures, 75 pass.
How comes ? Have you already added root support ?^^
Either way this is really cool, I'm going to spread the words and most likely subscribe a paid account :good:
Is there somewhere we can see pictures of your device lab? Gotta be one hell of a device museum you got over there^^

This is pretty interesting. The only two rooted devices are a couple running CM. I'll look into this further, and if you have any ideas I'd love to hear them as well.

Sweet, I really appreciate it. As soon as I have the number of posts to do so I'll post a pic of the lab.
Some things can not be automated, like scanning a QR code or reading/writing to an NFC tag. Do you plan on adding "manual tests" for a fee?
This would be really great to test apps on specific hardware.

Thanks for the question! Our primary focus is on automation. There are existing test houses and services that will execute manual tests like those you describe, but of course because of the manual component they're slow and expensive.
We often push folks to break their testing down into more granular chunks. For instance, verify you can take a picture and deal with the image, even if it's not the QR code or whatever your app usually consumes. This will find problems with simply using the camera and resulting image location. Now, have a separate test that processes a photo of a QR code, but feed the image in as part of the test. This removes the camera component from the analysis part, meaning it's now possible to benchmark the image analysis algorithm on all devices.
With a combination of a service like ours where you test very, very quickly on tons of devices, you can now do some more UX/end-to-end tests on a handful of devices yourself. This hybrid approach is great for finding the vast majority of issues before release.
nice post
Realy interesting, for us
Awesome tool !
No Developer can test his/her app on many devices. But your tool ... A W E S O M E ! ... I Used it yesterday to test two of my new apps ... Found some error is my app on certain devices which i'd have never found without AppThwack .. :good: :good:

Switching to W10M from iOS/Android//BB's Domain

Dears,
days ago I purchased a Lumia 950XL Dual SIM after playing for years BBOS and Android and I want trust in it (I am awaiting so much the Elite X3).
The device is awesome and now updated with that releases Firmware: 16082.36013 OS: 14379.0
With me G5, Passport, iPhone 6... I felt all the enviro with pro and cons as most of you.
If the administrators/moderators agree we can stick that topic and make it for people want try that OS not for fun but as daily working unique wingman.
I have some hot questions:
-) Did we have application AirDroid/Pushbullet like to manage the phone directly from the PC/Mac/Linux?
-) Does it is possible to have quick link in the Start menu to call/send sms/send group sms like the Android widget?
-) Does it is possible to import directly the SMS without follow the onedrive way from an Android phone?
Below a VS I did Lumia 950XL and LG G5 (the previous used working phone) with v10g:

And the first meet with Continuum as a geek or as XDA docet. Next gallery, promise, you will have to look for Sherlock (Apple or the Original of Baker Street it's up to you) to see where a single wired cable is!

1. Have you tried Pushile http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/pushile/c72b5765-58ad-4952-b7f9-6fbdfdad677a ?
2. You can pin a contact to the start menu, if that's what you mean.
3. contacts+message backup https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/contacts-message-backup/9nblgggz57gm
Why are you impressed with this Continuum scam?

Hello and thank you as first!
About the points:
1. Thanks it looks promising, but I need a system with Windows 10 (desktop) to install the client? I will check the docs inside the page.
2. I can create a pin to the name of the people but not to the number or the service inside is profile. E.g. If for Mr.X I what pin his mobile number to send an SMS, I have to access to his profile to tap on "send message" not directly like with a widget.
3. Thanks! I will try.
About Continuum it was an idea to manage the phone looking forward for a full implementation with the X3 from Elite. Which device did you have now?
Cheers,

Thank you, I just checking it... also did but an Italian developer.
Any suggest about the way to to send quickly SMS from the Start Menu - widget like?
For those who are being to buy a fitness-tracker, I suggest to check that site as it filter also according to the OS compatibility: http://fitness-trackers.specout.com/d/b/Windows

Good afternoon,
just some quick updates... new OS release in the Fast Ring (14385): here the full details: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsex...nsider-preview-build-14385-for-pc-and-mobile/
and about the tools above, I got some great tips from Windows Central's Forum just like to try Screen Projector for Mobile (but it doesn't work well...) and now I am trying the Windows 10's Phone Companion but it don't recognize I am using on the PC and on the mobile phone the same account...
