I have an Update for Smart device manager in the android market... But i am unaware of what it does or what it is for... can some explain this to me.
Yea I noticed that update too. I'd like to know if I should update it as well.
You guys might want to look at this link: https://market.android.com/developer?pub=Location+Labs
That is just a list of there applications... that does not tell me what it is ... thank you though...

I've noticed that after I updated this app, I've been randomly receiving text messages filled with random text. I'm tempted to uninstall it but I don't know if there will be repercussions.

back up the .apk if you can, remove it and if it craps out your phone, re-install..
or make a nandroid backup (if you're rooted) then delete it.. if it craps out, restore..
I got tired of seeing it on app brain so I updated it. Haven't had any issues. I don't even think the app is running.

Nokia is going to release a new high quality app : Nokia Usage Monitor
This app will help Nokia users to keep an eye on their DATA traffic, it's really useful for people who don't have unlimited DATA plans.
This kind of app is rare on the Marketplace (actually I think it's the only one) so I guess this app have some kind of "high privilege" access to the system.
I'll upload the app here when it will be released for every dev. or people who would like to try performing the interop unlock thru this app.
I don't think that it will expose some vulnerabilities. All I can think of is that this app reads some System files, maybe even the registry. However injecting into the app is impossobile because it will invalidate the signature. Nevertheless this App is quite usefull even without enabling interop unlock

I agree, Nokia apps are great, they respect Metro UI, and are a real plus for users like us.
This app needs much more priviliges than regular devs can get. That's why there are no such apps in the Marketplace and Nokia has to make them. I'm even doubting whether OEM access is enough. I think Nokia has more access than other OEMs and that's why HTC, Samsung didn't make something like this already...

If we can inject some settings or config files into this app than there is still the question whether or not it will allow write access on the registry, most probably this app will only allow read access (if we can even inject a config file to do a custom operation). All other apps so far did not allow registry write access besides the diagnosis app.

Yes the Diagnosis app has already been analyzed, some attempts to interop unlock the device has unfortunately failed so far. But people are still looking for exploits. So far it is the only app found with that level of rights, albeit patching/replacing it will be a difficult task.
Hi
It seem that users do not use my app so often ,
even lower than 3 percent I have daily active user ? (even I have got good rates on google play ) , I have excepted really higher than this .
why ?
Do Guys see any problem in my app ?
Do I have design problem ?
Do you find this app not useful ?
You can see my app here : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.matchseller.proassistant
I am installing your app and will use it...
From User perspective:
Big app size 14 mb. I think its too big for an application.
Sample font is not attractive. Use system or Jelly Bean fonts.
My advice : Stop using Comic Sans MS font.

Dark colors are better for eye and it significantly reduces the battery use due to it's lightning level.

Ok, I'll bite.
Just from a first glance, there are several issues:
a) Grammar/language issues throughout the app description
b) Multiple security permissions are needed, giving the app access to all data on the phone
c) The app description states that it "checks for updates everyday", which really sounds like it is sending data at regular intervals as updates should be managed through the Play Store rather than the app itself
d) The developer website listed does not load
e) Many features are duplicative of built in phone functionality
All in all, it really sounds like a huge security risk, and does not appear to add much value. This app basically has every possible issue that people are told to be skeptical of when referring to malware apps.
Assuming you are a legitimate developer, and truly want to make a good app, you should retool it to have more focus on functions that are a value add, rewrite the description to use proper grammar, separate the functions that require high level access to the permissions into separate apps that do not need to access the internet to get rid of the security concerns.
It really looks like a malware app, and there's no way I would even consider installing it, and the 100-ish downloads you have don't really give any sense of security.

Great Reply , I will keep all of them in mind , Also do you think explaining every prem request is usefull for people ?
Also I want your opinion about these :
Design
Performance
Video Added
App Translate (if I include)
Also , I have added some useful features in new version , please see attached image :
New verision has App Lock with Message Blocker with Battery Usage info with Cache cleaner .
Do you think they are useful ?
video added .
I think there are way too many concerns with permissions for me to consider even installing the app. The most popular SMS and Call Log backup and restore apps are from a trusted, well known developer, with a website and contact info, and the network permissions are only for displaying AdMob ads, and limited permissions for the all to perform its function.
In contrast, your website does not load and is registered in Iran, and your app has access to just about every possible permission involving my data that it can possibly have, in addition to having full network access. I'm not trying to offend, but I have no sense of security about allowing your app to have unrestricted access to all of my data. There are way too many red flags about what your app can do that I would not install it in its given state, especially with the numerous free alternatives from established developers that are available.
You really should consider splitting these into separate apps. If you want to build a Music Player, build a stand alone music player. Build a separate global search app. Build a separate Call Blocker, etc. I think you should narrow the focus of what you are trying to have your app do, and eliminate the network access permission so that a user can use your app without being concerned about where their data may be going. From a design standpoint, switching to the Holo design guidelines for Android 4.0 would be a good start. This may have been adequate on Froyo or Gingerbread, but from a design standpoint it appears very outdated.

Yes , your information is really useful , and two thinks that should be in mind :
This app designed for users to help them find things very fast , aslo have most needs tools for user and allow them use less memory load on phone .
but what is your opinion about removing internet premession completely . ( But I will lose app ads, update checker, lyrics load, load statics , bug reports , ....)
Also Do not see normal users like yourself, most of them are not as like as you ...

I am sorry but that is a very important issue. If an application is over 10mb, I very rarely install it. I like to keep my phone free from as much bloat as I can - even though it has 8GB of internal storage and 4GB of SD storage - the issue still stands. If you have to have a video, encode it to make it a much lower size before including it into the application.
I also think the name is too generic. If you could choose a catchier name or something more descriptive, you might get more people to notice it.

The WP8 version was released on 8th August 2013.

Actually it can run in background if you are using a linphone.org account. If you use your own sip server, indeed it wont work in background (your server won't send push notifications).

Strange. I have been using this app for 2 weeks with my own server and it has never crashed..
Unfortunately, the app won't receive any calls if running in the background. However, it's still my best option for voip in WP8.
This one works good for making SIP calls. Don't work in the background though but it's better than nothing.

Hi everyone
Just wanted to ask, what are your must have apps?
I need some ideas for new apps. The only apps (except the XKCD viewer) I could think of are listed in the core apps and I don't feel like joining these projects just yet.
So if you have any ideas or if you know some Android or iOS apps which could be ported leave a comment.
1. An IM client like Empathy
2. A Wallbase application/or anything that fetches nice HD wallpapers.
3. An application to watch anime
I had a similar question earlier, you might be able to mine something from those that answered

The main app most people wanted was What's App, but I saw that some one else has been developing a client for it.

It is my firm belief that we should have an APP INSTALL client that seamlessly installs apps FIRST! Then let the DEVS roll out the suggestions. What's the format anyway? not APK I would guess. I think a nice APK converter would work nicely then.

- What the heck is an APK? (That's only for Android and has nothing todo with linux, yes I said it android has nothing todo with linux )
- There are many ways to install an app.
-> you can install a .deb file
-> add a ppa our use the official repos and install via consol
-> build the binarys from source....

Some way to access Pandora One. I listen to some 300 hours a month, so it's definitely a requirement, not a 'want'.
Statement form pandoras website
We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative. ....

A Pandora client sounded like a good idea but "this" makes it rather impossible
Hope you'll find some dev's located in the us that can help you with that.
I'm personally worried about not having an app to track and control my phone in the event it's lost or stolen. An Ubuntu touch UI for Prey or something to that effect would be awesome.
