I need your help about my website - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Edited - problem solved for now. Just bought more bandwidth. Hopefully, that will last.

How long do you have and what is the next level of bandwidth cost?

Just tell me about another free server and how I can transfer all my crap there. I don't know how long I have. I just got their notice.

Just thought I'd throw this out there but it sounds you should sell some add space. It is a great site and the traffic is only going to increase, especially once you get all the "how too's" posted. Then you'll get return "business". You could finally make a little $ for your time and effort. Good job, keep up the good work. In the meantime, I'll figure out how to make a donation using paypal and hope others follow my example.
Sorry, I don't have any information for you on a different web hosting service.

How do I "sell" ad space?
Ya, the first day of launch it got 500 people visiting it. It's increasing daily. I basically used up my monthly bandwidth limit in less than a week's time. And my website doesn't even show up on google yet.

Check this out. I found it after a quick google search. There were tons of others but this one was very infirmative and offered several different methods of how to do it. Think about who your perspective clients are and I believe that your site will sell itself. Show them the numbers and make it attractive for those that get in on the ground level. Then as it gets more traffic you can change your method of billing or charge more, or even have some length to your contracts. Check this out:

[APP] WinPayDay- Paycheck Estimator beta 0.2

I decided to make this app out of necessity as I (as I'm sure some of you do as well) work a job where my hours vary from pay to pay. I created this program to estimate how much my paycheck is going to be. Once your information is entered all you will need to do is enter in the amount of hours and it will give you a break down of everything that should be on your paycheck.
This app is in it early beta stages and it will have some bugs which I'll note below. I figured I'd release this to you guys to see how many people are interested and see if I should continue development and also get some feedback from you guys.
Instructions:
Install the cab file.
Run Winpayday.
Menu >> Settings
Enter in your data:
Pay period- How often your paid
Pay Rate- The amount per hour
Overtime rate- How much your paid for overtime(ex 1.5 = Time and a half)
Enter your taxes withheld Percentages. A good way to get these are to take a recent paycheck and divide the amount taken out for each by the Gross Pay. Then obviously move the decimal two places to the right. I understand these numbers will change from week to week depending on how much you make, tax rates, etc. but this will get us as close to the actual amount for next weeks paycheck. I leave mine based on a 40 hour work week and its never off more than a dollar each way.
Mark if your benefits are taken out before taxes (Most are).
Mark if you have Medical, Dental, or any other amount taken out. Then enter in the amount taken out per pay.
After this is all set up there should be no reason to have to come back into the settings screen (Unless we get a raise which would be nice). Everything is saved in settings.xml in the application folder under Program Files where ever it was installed. You can copy this to your SD card to make a backup in case you need to reinstall/reflash.
I know it doesn't look pretty but I needed something that was functional and easy on the eyes and I see no reason to skin this app but if there is an interest I'll take suggestions.
Again this is my first released app so please if you have any problems list them here and I'll try to address them as fast as I can. Any other comments/questions/suggestions please feel free to post, Thanks guys.
Disclaimer- The Default Values that come preloaded in the application do not represent anyones actual salary, including my own, nor do they represent what I think you should be making, so back off, lol. This application does not connect to the Internet in anyway and all the personal financial data you enter stays in the settings.xml file and is not shared with anyone, including myself.
Too early for feedback but I will say this at a glance looks very handy for myself...
For this being in beta stages it seems pretty darn good...
Thx for sharing
Will report any mishaps
This seems to be a very good application, will post feedback asap.
I'll also write an article about it.
EC
Thank
Thanks guys, hope you enjoy it. I'm working on a debug application and error catching for the main app right now and will update it when I can. Thanks for the article as well!
That's pretty cool. Will save me a lot of pen and paper when i'm figuring up bills for the week.
edit: Just compared it today with my actual paycheck, extremely accurate. Would be nice to figure in 401k as a percentage instead of a dollar amount.
Skinning
Working on adding some skinning and new control type functionality, stay tuned!
Don t forget to post up your experiences or any issues you guys have!
it worked ok but wouldn't work when monthly is selected in settings
Thanks for the feedback guys
Thanks for the feedback guys. Ill work on adding a 401k percentage and making the other deduction either flat or a percentage. as for the monthly Ill have to look into that as I dont remember if I tested it, my apologies on that one should have a new release with the fixes soon. Glad to hear it was very accurate for you. Ill update the posting soon. thanks guys!
Compiling an updated version right now. Please keep an eye on the Opening post. Thanks for all the feedback guys!
thanks...i need it a program like this..is there any updates..i saw u just released one for android
Unfortunatly the developer I gave this project to quit and took my source code with him. As of now I dont have a windows mobile phone to test with and I'll have to rewrite the app from the ground up. If I get the new one for android stable I'll be sure to reserect the original version for your guys. My apologies. I'm looking through file backups tonight to try to hopefully find the source code. Thanks for all the support.

[Free Hosting] for ALL Nexus One Devs!

As a Nexus One user, the modding community on XDA is probably the single greatest thing on the planet when it comes to my Nexus One, without you guys, the entire Android platform wouldn't be as great as it is now.
In an effort to give back to the community, and help other nexus users, I'm here to offer free, unlimited (virtually) hosting to any and all nexus one developers. Gone should be the 4shared and mediafire links, non direct downloads will hopefully be a thing of the past! I have spare space and bandwidth, and I want to use it to help people.
If you are a Nexus, or even just an Android, developer, please, send me a PM and I can give you a subdomain of my facepwn.com, as much bandwidth as you can use, and plenty of space. This isn't only file hosting, I'll happily give you MySQL databases, shell access, anything (within reason) that you need. Completely free, on my VPS, not shared hosting.
Just drop me a PM and I can set your hosting up today/tomorrow.
Wow, thanks bro. =)
Nice work thanks bro!!!

That is way cool. Let's hope you get a lot of requests from Devs, because I can't stand rapidshare and mediafire downloads.
Way to give back, man. Cheers.
Just want to say I've got some hosting too I can spread around
Not VPS, just a standard bluehost hosting package - but I do have unlimited bandwidth/storage etc paid through the next 11 months and am not currently using for anything.
I was thinking about making a similar post but ya beat me to it
I'll be glad to help out also, even if just as a secondary mirror. Just hit me up w/ a PM or email! Wildmonks is currently using it as a mirror and it beats the hell out of rapidshare etc
same here. we'll give you ftp access at androidoverdrive.com
just drop a line and we can hook you up. we have forums too and since the staff is knowledgeable we can help provide support for your rom as well

Hm, I'll have to check my ToS again, maybe shoot them an e-mail. I was under the impression it wouldn't be an issue.
Edit: Ah, I see the "Backup Storage" clause. Seems easy enough to workaround as it's not being used explicitly for that. I do have a site in the works up on the main domain, could even put some type of placeholder up if that's all that's needed to say it's not being used "exclusively and explicitly" for backup storage.
OMG how many more of these do we need? This also isn't anything to do with Development so shouldn't a Mod move this to general?
cool! good job! may God always bless you!

OMG, how many more ingrates do we need? This isn't anything to do with being helpful so shouldn't a Mod move this to garbage?
You apparently don't understand. Take CM6-a1 for instance, I provided a mirror for just the N1 version on my own hosting to help out, and I served over 1Tb of bandwidth on a single file within a week. Now extrapolate that over all the Roms out there, and you're looking at 100s of terabytes of bandwidth a month. Spreading that load out over multiple servers, data centers and countries keeps speeds high, costs per person lower and allows for continual service (aka, redundancy).
So, kindly, shut it if you dont understand or appreciate why someone offering a service such as this is nice.

Does anyone ever torrent this stuff? I'd download crap and leave the torrents going 24/7 if someone had an android tracker.
If I knew anything about trackers and had time, I'd take up some of the offers for free hosting and start one, but I don't have either time or expertise...

Enough to get rid of all of the stupid mediafire, rapidshare and 4shared links. I hate using those sites, and would rather see everyone be able to give direct links I can easily download on my phone, and that are fast.

FreeCreditReport App

I saw a new App from Experian where you can access your credit report from your phone. Has anyone tried this? I already have an account with freecreditreport.com so I downloaded it, but I am too paranoid to enter my personal information.
check the webpage and support info on the app, if everything links back to the official experian websites should be ok...
not too many hackers with the balls to imitate big credit bearu names, lol
thats federal time there.
also browse google and see if there are any mentions from experian theirself about a release of a mobile app.
I would probably stay away from that app.... I don't know if that app is legit. I checked google and didn't find anything about it. I also went to the source experian.com and didn't find any info. Now I'm not saying it's bogus, but just suggesting that you stay away from it until confirmed that it's the real deal.

Looks a lot like their new iPhone app. I wouldn't worry about it.
I have been advised to not use freecreditreport.com, I have been told to instead use annualcreditreport.com
This below is from militaryonesource
Thanks to the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), every U.S. citizen is entitled to a free credit report once a year from each of the three main credit reporting bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. There are three ways to order your credit reports: online, by phone, and through the mail.
To order your credit report online, go to www.annualcreditreport.com. This centralized Web site sponsored by the three main credit bureaus allows you to order all three reports and view them instantly online.
To order your report over the phone, call 1-877-322-8228. Your credit report will be mailed to you within 15 days.
To order a report by mail, you will need to fill out an annual credit report request form. Go to https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/requestformfinal.pdf to find a copy of this form online. Then mail the form to:
Annual Credit Report Request Service
P.O. Box 105281
Atlanta, GA 30348-5281
Due to security reasons, www.annualcreditreport.com does not work from overseas. If you're stationed or deployed outside the U.S., you can print the form to order your report by mail at www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/include/requestformfinal.pdf.
When you get your reports, look them over carefully. If there's anything you don't understand, call the credit bureau for an explanation. The reports include a lot of information and you may need some help interpreting them the first time you see them. Federal law requires that the bureaus make this help available to you. Here is the contact information for each of the three main credit bureaus:

Also it is probably best if you order only 1 report every 4 months so this way you can check your credit 3 times per year instead doing all 3 and having to wait another year for free reports. This is even recommended in the Frequently Asked Questions section.
Actually, you want to monitor your report. It is a good way to keep an eye on things. I use freecreditreport.com which is actually Experian.com and love it. I started using it at regular price which was around 15 a month, then I called and said I wanted to cancel, I couldn't afford it. They dropped in 50% now I pay 7 bucks. I pull a free one once or twice a month. It's quite essential to monitor your report. Don't listen to people who don't know how important it is.

"free"creditreport.com is fine to use as long as you know going in that it's not necessarily "free" (you have to sign up for credit monitoring services that charge). The only source for true free credit reports is the once-a-year annualcreditreport.com site.
I personally use creditkarma.com, it's free, you get a score calculated by your TransUnion credit report, and targeted credit card and loan offers even. Has a bunch of tools to help you manage your finances and credit too.
Thanks for the replies. I didn't find any mention of an Android app on the freecreditreport.com website. Doesn't mean it isn't legit, but you can never be too cautious.

Martian Imperium is back...sorta

I am now personally hosting the site but may have lost the original domain name. All Imperium services and ROMUpdater servers are now gone and the new site is very limited. I now no longer personally host any files and have found a third party service that pays me per download. The following projects are now dead:
WebTop enable devices TabletDock
WebTop enable devices CarPC
Remote Access ROM Development Service
Anything Galaxy Tab
Anything GS2
Anything G2X
Anything not Photon related
The Martian Imperium site is now closed and in the process of being purged. In all likelihood there will be no new website and unless somebody here has a copy, all the files will disappear as well. iPage was the cheapest host I could find for the bandwidth users were pulling (500GB-1TB a month and over 1000 DL's a day). In addition to my own work, I was hosting all the SBF's, some high demand older ROMs and kernels, root-unlock-relock and other Photon related files.
I looked at alternate places to host but Mediafire would cost almost ten times as much and dropbox almost three times as much just to host files. I even covered the site in ads to help cover expenses with no real success. The core factor was that my wife and I went over the receipts yesterday and I have spent something like $1000USD this year in equipment and hosting. If I had received a $0.01 donation (after paypal takes it's cut) for every unique download I actually would have made money and been able to continue development. There were many things I had planned to release this year but as it stands I am leaving development and guide writing.
To those that have donated to me in the past I'm very sorry about this and will return your donations if you would like.
Thank you for the explanation, and all you've done. The sad fact is most don't send donations. Over the years that I've been on xda, I've only done it a half dozen times. I'm sure I should have done it more. I know development won't get you rich, but it shouldn't cost you. Thanks again for all you've done. Webtop and imperium are the ****!

What started all this was a "We need to have a talk" email from my host. They had been very forgiving about the bandwidth usage but had enough and it was upgrade to business class service or leave. Meanwhile this is what I was working....
Remote Access Development Services. It's only a proof of concept at this stage but it's free to any dev that wants it.
I actually might be able to help you out if you think you can keep it below a TB a month.
Let me know and Ill go back and check my usage to see how much bandwidth I have left over. I think I get 2 TB a month and I dont believe Im quite using one.
I can help you out in the hosting department. My hosting is unlimited space and unlimited bandwidth per month. I use IX web hosting. If you would like, I'll throw your files up on my site so that anyone that needs them and get them... I can upload them and you can hotlink to them...
Let me know... I'm not able to donate $$$ (due to the fact that i don't have much myself) but I can donate space and bandwidth. The Photon 4G needs good developers, and I'd hate to see you go...

Most unlimited hosting plans. Will freak out after a tb a month.

Just trying to help out...
But, you might want to check out there policies. There unlimited is truly unlimited... according to their TOS. That's why I went with them. Currently I have 5.91GB of used space and 518GB of bandwidth used this month... about average for me...
That's some BS right there. I've never used any of your work, but I've seen you around. (I have an Electrify, I can't use a lot of Photon stuff. Plus it's locked... 2.3.5.)
Seems like there should be a way, in this day and age, to croudsource the files somehow. Multiple dropboxes/sugar syncs/box.nets, or a torrent with a bunch of us hosting all the files. In fact if you can get just a few people with fast Internet at home to leave their BitTorrent client running, seeding your torrent, people could get that just as fast as they could from direct download. Linux uses BitTorrent, couldn't you do something like that? Hell, I only have 1.5MBit DSL, which lets me upload about 30kB/s before web browsing starts to lag, but I'd help seed. I don't have a Photon, but Electrify development kind of depends on Photon development.
Best of luck to you.
To All,
I appreciate the offers for file hosting but as the number of projects increase so would the bandwidth. The main source for the, to be honest, leeching is from locations outside xda. For example, China is responsible for a very large portion of it and have found hotlinking of my files in a couple of sites.
I was able to sell of some things today and have buyers lined up for others. I may be able to continue but at a much slower rate and will have to kill a number of pending projects.
I have found a possible solution but have had to kill a number of services. It also involves a very limited access website and file hosting has been moved to a service suggest to me by one of my users in Russia. I don't know how well this will work out as I will have to remove the update service from all future releases.
Please try the new site and let me know if it works. For now it's just a copy of the old site with a bunch of broken stuff. Unlike the old site, live site updates are now impossible and can only handle a limited number of connections.

You can say it's BS but there were a lot of things on the site the most free services do not allow. In addition to the site itself it had live support chat, a forum, an update server (think ROM Manager) as well as the entire Photon file archive and my own projects.
Multiple file hosting accounts makes file management a job unto itself. Torrents have been tried before with very little success.
Like I mentioned above, I have found a possible solution that may or may not work out but have had to kill a number of services.
I will be more than happy to do something as simple as setting you up a ftp server. You would have full access to your personal "ftp folder" on my hosting server... If interested, PM me and ill set it up...

i have most of the same files (old ones at least) hosted on holylivingfuck.com in my sig, i do however have a new host (seperate from hlf) which ill be uploaidng all my copies onto as well. if you could be so kind as to update the guide with the links ill be sending you that would be awesome

[Q] I did you a favour, then what?

Whenever my automated system finds an Android App Review online it sends an email to the developer telling the link to the review.
Each day I get between 5 - 10 thank you mails from both large app companies and indie developers, which I guess is a good indicator that it's a great tool in order to be able to take advantage of the review in their marketing. (I know how hard it is to be seen with a good app)
The question is, how do I monetize that service?
You have to pardon me if I sound desperate, but I actually am desperate and starting to worry about my ability to provide for my family.
Do you have an idea on how I could either monetize the service, or give it away to someone who can actually afford running it?
There are three main problems with it:
- Donations doesn't work (noone evidently donates anyway, so that went down the drain)
- Advertising, might have worked but there are far too few visitors.
- Most dev's have an invalid email address specified for their account at google play, which makes them not receive the notice from the service,
They can however subscribe for reviews of a certain package name, but how the heck could they when they don't even know the service exists?
I feel so stupid for having these great ideas and realize them, just to later find out that the only thing I've gained is more time away from my kids. I am honestly starting to loose all energy for the creation process of apps, web sites and services, just due to the fact that I can't even reach out enough to make anything out of it. And I can't afford advertising the services/apps/whatever crap I've made. Which even might be an indicator that I should stop trying, but I can't really do that either since I struggle to even afford the food for the month, yeah it's gotten that bad, and I hate sounding this pathetic.
Anyway, the link is in my sig called something like 'Android App Reviews' if you wish to have a look in order to give feedback on my question.
Maybe it's just a bad day 'cause I'm not usually this whiny, but even on a good day, the question stands.
Ah.. whatever. You have a good idea, let me know.
Later
very nice idea, perhaps most of your emails mistakenly get weeded out as SPAM. I have an APP published on Google Play with our company gmail address there, but in more than one ocasion we had people trying to contact us and those emails got to the SPAM folder automaticly by mistake and we never saw them.

Thanks, actually I was very glad myself when I got an email from my own service once, so yeah I think it's a great idea also.
So yes, one problem is, as you mention that most emails probably ends up marked as spam.
The other problem is money, it's running in a very low priced environment and actually doesn't require much juice to run but I can't afford maintaining it if it doesn't generate enough income to even support itself.
I would consider running it for nothing and I could even spend some personal money just for the satisfaction and appreciation, but given the gravity of the current financial situation in my family I can't do that.
So let's just see what happens, and thanks for taking the time to read.
Cheers
have you tried selling it? For about how much would you be willing to sell it? As i said the idea is pretty awesome and you got it pretty much nailed down. Perhaps with a few tweaks to the search algorithm it could be the next Google for Apps!

The value of it probably based on how many views does your site has per day, how many apps does it have categorized, how many it crawls per day... idk.
For example i tried searching it and it seems to have few apps catalogued... my app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rtt3ch.suecaonline) isn't there.
EDIT: About how much do you spend on it a month? If it's not much and you're willing to give it away because can't afford it I wouldn't mind getting it lol, i think i can keep it alive.
If you want to generate income from your site, you have to run your site like a business. The ideas you have in your first post are too linear, especially for a small website with limited exposure (i'm sure you'll know ). Websites and youtube channels grow in exposure and size exponentially. Your site is still in the growth state of a business life cycle (the slowest, most challenging phase of business), so it's best to get as much exposure as possible, which means expanding.
- Try to create some sort of quasi-partnerships with other sites by sharing content or linking to each other. I've noticed you have some links on the side of your site, but try to get in contact with 'bigger names' out there
- Create a youtube channel and start reviewing apps like that. That way you have another avenue of traffic to your site
- Reviews of products may also be an idea.
Hope this helps It's what I can remember from business studies classes >.<
sup MetalDroid, any news?
I'd go with what SammiSaysHello said, you need to run it like a business. Personally I'd make the homepage look more like a professional a sales page and introduce a subscription fee if you want to use it for more then one app. Or even a one time fee for more then one app. I end up logging onto my developer console several times a day so I'd gladly pay a couple bucks a month to have the reviews sent straight to my inbox.. Just my two cents
Hey!
Sorry for not posting an update, I've been having the mother of all flues on and off for the past several weeks now!

Well, actually yes. The associated twitter account is growing, and the number of web page visitors is also increasing. Very slowly but I'm still positive about it. I've also, shockingly, had a few interesting partnership/business proposals drop down in my mailbox, so I'm gonna have a look to see what is offered there..

You're right, that seems like a logical next step. I might add a low subscription fee if you wish to use for more than one app,
that seems like a very good suggestion, I'll have to wait a couple of days though to see how things turn out from some of the email proposals
I've had.
If you're interested I'll keep you updated on what happens, and I'm very grateful for your input,
Cheers
