Hi,
I am an independent developer and have an educational android app for children called eduDroid, it has no ads and the app costs 99p or $1.69 a year after the first 30 days. So revenue has been slow to come in.
The app is made and available to download, it has lots of modules. I am looking to raise £2,000 to illustrate the eBooks, as I a do not have the skills to do this myself.
If you can not pledge yourself, please help me by spreading the word of the campaign with your friends and families.

XDA to Go Dark on Jan 18th at 8AM; You Can Help Bring Us Back Online
XDA is a community built on openness and sharing. It has flourished because of our ability to freely exchange information, ideas, and development. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the Senate and Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the House give copyright holders the ability to more easily shut down sites (with mere accusations and without due process) that *might* be in violation of copyright laws.*It was because of GoDaddy’s initial support for this legislation that we moved to another registrar. If you are unfamiliar with the particulars of the bills, read up on them on Wikipedia.
We had a long debate among admins and moderators about the best way XDA can combat this legislation. Several sites (most notably, Reddit) have decided to go dark on January 18th from 8AM to 8PM. A blackout of XDA, a site with users likely already educated on the legislation, seemed a bit like preaching to the choir.
Quite frankly, we don't think a blackout is enough. We need to motivate XDA members to get involved and help us fight the fight. So-- beginning at 8AM ET on January 18th, the xda-developers.com domain WILL go dark. When you come to the site, you will see links to information about SOPA and the damaging impact it will have on the free Internet. Visitors from the United States will also see a link to an online pledge. Users who choose to sign their name to the pledge are agreeing simply to contact their local Senator or Representative (via phone or email) and politely voice their opposition to the bills. Once 50,000 people have made the pledge, XDA will go back up. We will provide links to help you find the contact information for the appropriate member of Congress. We hope we hit 50,000 pledges quickly. If not, we'll match Reddit (and hopefully many other sites) and return online at 8PM ET.
If you want to get involved (before our "pledge" goes live on the 18th), Reddit has a fantastic list of ways that you can make an impact. We hope that XDA going dark will help spread awareness and action against SOPA / PIPA.

I'm not a USA user, so i can't help really much.
I just want to share and discuss about this in our phone's dedicated thread and propose my personal Peaceful Protest for Freedom.
So if you're not a not USA user, and you want to say web is free knowledge and sharing, just use this image as avatar.
It will not do much, but for who is whatching us, this can be a signal of union.
Unity is strength.
So. They may take our sites but they'll never take away our freedom!
Hello everybody!
Moderators, sorry if I didn`t choose the right place to post this post, if it is wrong place please move it to the right one. THANK YOU!
I won`t take much of your time and I will be very pleased if you take a minute to read this thread to the end. Thank you for your attention!
My name is Konstantin Fortuna and I am publisher of android apps and games (I do not have any programming skills, I outsource all parts of app development - programming and design). I have experience in app creating, promoting and monetization. At the moment I have 7 active apps on Play Google, which are generating me around $200 - $700 each in month. So I feel that I have information what to share and right now I am working on ebook about Android app creation, promotion and monetization for beginners. This book is for those who want to start android app business or who just started it and need to know the right direction where to make next steps in promotion or monetization.
How can you help me? I would really appreciate your help, if you could tell me which problems are you facing in app creation, promotion and monetization. And I will include detailed answers on these questions in this ebook.
Access to the book will be for everyone on my blog. However, to those who will FULLY participate in the completion of this book will get a SPECIAL bonus from me. I deliberately emphasized the word fully, because the idlers, who will sit on the fence and watch the process, are not included in the count number of fully-dedicated participants. “Oh, yes! Great idea! Write what you know!”
By the way, if you are already successful in this niche, it would be great if you share your experience in this ebook. I wish to have interviews with guys who are making much money with apps. Future readers would appreciate your participation in this ebook writing!
Anyone is welcome!
Sincerely,
Konstantin Fortuna
P.S.
I know the rules, that new user can`t post a link in this forum. All I want you to know, that if you want to know more information about me, my blog and future ebook, you can find me on my blog - konstantin-fortuna.com There you also will find a post about this ebook.
(MODERATORS PLEASE DON`T BAN ME! I AM NOT TRYING TO SELL ANYTHING, I ONLY WISH TO HELP EVERYONE WHO NEEDS HELP! THANK YOU!!!)
I know questions belong in the Q&A, but this has to do with apps & large developers. I have been doing a little research into Gameloft & EA. I have found a few trends that I find disturbing, but I am looking for more information for background before publishing any of my findings. SO, please humor me.
My pleading question to all of you tech & Android lovers out there is a simple three part question & it will really help me to see if I can truly identify a trend that is hurting consumers.
1. Do you own any any app titles by either of the above developers?
2. Have you found that any purchased titles from the above developers cannot be utilized due to firmware updates?
3. Have you had any interaction with the customer service departments of either developer? How did you find the experience?
I am working on a piece & have found some very interesting facts, but I am looking for some experiences from other users. Please post & let me know your answers to the above questions & feel free to add any other commentary you feel relevant. If you prefer anonymity, you can PM me here at XDA..
If requested, I will respect you request for anonymity, but would like to be able to use your stories as anonymous source material, or for background purposes.
I had purchased The Sims 3 on my HTC Rezound.
After the initial purchase, the app would not download the secondary files.
EA does not have an email tied to the app listing, so after navigating their page for 30-45 minutes, setting up an account, typing my problems, and then retyping them due to server errors, having to try and guess several times before I could create a password that fit the unlisted requirements, the final submit button for submitting a ticket for tech support completely server errored and made me have to start over.
I had honestly forgotten about it till now, will see about trying again today.
I purchased Madden 12 when the Play Store had their 25 cent sale a few months ago. It ran fine on my Xoom, but as soon as I upgraded to my N10 and 4.2, it would not download any of the files to play the game. It seems to be a common complaint in the reviews of the game.
Hello,
Am part of a team of Java Developers who are being asked to skill themselves up into Android Development.
I have been asked to sort out either some classroom led courses or for an instructor to come to our site to give a tailored course.
Does anyone have any paid courses that they would recommend? There are alot of courses out there but am very aware you don't always get what you pay for hence wanting to get a recommendation of a training provider. In the past we would look for courses where the instructor has been in the field so is doing more than just reading the course off the slides, someone whose own experiences you can tap into.
The developers here are all Java Developers with between 1 to 15 years experience, all using eclipse IDE so should be more than capable of getting up to speed on the course quickly. The course needs to be native dev, not phonegap etc.
Many thanks,
stevens_ns
I have completed my android development training from Cestar College of Business, Health and Technology, Toronto. I have got some freelance works through my friend. But that includes its marketing too. I am not aware of app marketing techniques. If somebody has good knowledge in android app marketing techniques please help me with some useful tips
Same here, just published my first app, any advice on how to promote it is welcomed. Thanks.
