Android Developer Console unusable since many days now – no reaction from Google

Since many days the Android Developer Console has become unusable.

If one can at least display the app list (after at least trying to load the page tens of times), you are bombed with confusing error messages all over the place.

Here are some examples:

Here are some Google Groups threads that reported the errors days ago:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=02a2352f1b738de1&hl=en

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=78c2c57efcf86446&hl=en

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=0efeef6536ae3745&hl=en

There are many more threads. Just have a look at the Google Group: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/label?lid=7dc8a5c590cd22ee&hl=en

The disappointing thing here is that Google doesn’t even post a single response on what is going on… This is crazy. For example i have new app ready to publish, which will give me MONEY EACH DAY. I don’t get that money because Google won’t fix the Developer Console 🙁 That’s really frustrating 🙁

How to recruite beta testers for Android

Hey,

it’s been some time since my last blog post so i thought i’d blog a bit about what’s going on at the moment.

I’m current developer a new app called „Bottle Messages“.

I recently had a look at „BottleMessages“ and thought about which killer feature it is missing. And i came up with: image attachements.

So I started implementing a clone with image attachment support and got a first version ready today.

 

So now i need beta testers, but how to recruite them? This is what i came up with:

That’s what i came up with. Until now (about 3 hours later) there were only 3 people who started to test my app.

Do you have any ideas on where else to look for beta testers? Are there any sites / forums dedicated for beta testing that i don’t know of?

Looking forward to your comments, Goddchen

Cyanogenmod 7 (CM7 – Android Gingerbread) for Motorola Milestone

[ad]

Well,

Gingerbread finally made it’s way to my Motorola Milestone 😀

Credits go to nadlabak 🙂

NOTE: I’m not responsible for your actions. Installing Custom ROMs can brick your phone so be sure you know what you are doing!

Go  grab your update on the projects’s google code page 🙂

When you are coming from CM6 or any other froyo (2.2) mods the update process is simple:

  1. Download the CM7 update.zip http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/detail?name=update-cm-7.0.0-RC0-0.07-11.02.03-Milestone-signed.zip
  2. Download the gapps update for CM7 http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps
  3. Boot to OpenRecovery http://code.google.com/p/androidiani-openrecovery/downloads/detail?name=OpenRecovery-3_3.zip
  4. Make a full nandroid backup
  5. Perform all three wipes (cache, davlik cache, data)
  6. Apply CM7 update
  7. Apply gapps update
  8. Reboot and be happy 🙂

NOTE: when i installed CM7 there was no GoogleMail app. So i just installed „MarketEnabler“ from the market and changed my phone temporary to US (T-Mobile) and installed the GoogleMail app from the market the normal way. Works like a charm 🙂

And now, have fun with CM7 🙂

I’m looking forward to the next updates 🙂

Android 2.3 Gingerbread for the Motorola Milestone (CyanogenMod)

[ad]

Hey everybody,

there are some news on Gingerbread for the Motorola Milestone.

The developer of the CyanogenMod port for the Motorola Milestone – nadlabak – has stated on his page (http://android.doshaska.net/cm6) that he is working on the gingerbread port for the Motorola Milestone.

See the full comment here:

I’m working on it (albeit slowly) – see the gingerbread branches at https://github.com/nadlabak
Current status: it boots, wifi and battery charging works. No gsm/umts yet. New sensor interface is in progress but not fully working yet.
The whole CM is moving to gingerbread, the repos are receiving tens of commits everyday by many great developers involved.
Be patient, there’s still a lot of work to be done.

So, let’s see what he will be coming up with und next fews days or weeks 🙂

Greets, Goddchen

Fix for Battery Drain with Cyanogen Mod (CM6) on the Milestone

Hey everybody,

i am using the latest version of CM6 on my Motorola Milestone. The one based on the G.O.T. sbf with the 2.2 test kernel.

I was experiencing a significant  battery drain. The battery wouldn’t hold a whole day… 🙁

So i did a little analysis.

First i found a little hidden feature of Android. Go to the phone app and type: *#*#4636#*#*. This will bringt up some stats. Most interesting are the battery usage stats.

Here is saw that „Being executed“ („Wird ausgeführt“ in german) had 100%. That means that the Milestone didn’t go to deep sleep at all. So i tried to find out why. There is another stats screen titled „usage in partial sleep mode“ or something like that („Verwendung im Teilwachzustand“ in german). There i saw „Facebook“ with nearly 70% of all apps that were listed there.

So i went to the facebook app and deactivated the notifications (which didn’t work for me anyway). And the problem was fixed. The Milestone is now going into deep sleep normally and the battery drain is gone 🙂

Hope that helps many of you out there suffering under the battery drain!

Motorola Milestone Android 2.2 Froyo – Cyanogen Mod 6.1.0 RC0

Hey everyone,

there finally is a Cyanogen Mod available for the Motorola Milestone 🙂

It brings you Android 2.2 Froyo with all the nice features like apps2sd, market auto-update option, …

Of course it’s not a full custom rom since the Milestone Bootloader still isn’t cracked so there is no custom kernel running behind this CM6.

The installation is straight forward:

I’m so happy with Android 2.2 finally available on my Milestone 🙂 It runs very fast. Before i had 2.1-update1 overclocked @800Mhz. Now i’m not overclocking anything and it feels smoother and faster 🙂 And i love apps2sd and market auto-update 🙂 i love it.

Thanks Cyanogen!

NOTE: if you run into the same problem i had: reboot loop, you have to flash a full sbf first and then install CM6. I tried many things but i couldn’t fix the reboot loop without flash a full sbf first…
