I just started to develop my own apps and I've been going over various ad networks to use and I came across a post suggesting to try using AdWhirl and I was just wondering if anyone here has tried using AdWhirl and if so what are your thoughts? Also, did you have a better experience with one network over the other of the ones they have listed in AdWhirl.
Thanks!
Just to update you guys. I started using it splitting my ads between AdMob and Millennial Media. AdWhirl doesn't seem to report the data correctly or its extremely delayed, but AdMob and Millennial Media's adds seem to be pulling into my apps just fine and are showing up on their respective sites correctly. I'm disappointed that adWhirl isn't showing the impressions/clicks correctly but at least it saves a step and allows me to manage multiple networks all in one place.

After spending a day researching this topic, the following are the WinMo apps that I'm aware of which stream satellite radio to the phone:
- Sirius XM app from these forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450259 (not sure it has a proper name?)
- C-ApiSRO - decent, but buggy and slow.
- SiriusWM5 - haven't tried it, but understand it's for native Sirius users only (I'm legacy XM) and it's lacking in features.
- StarPlayr - GONE (this one was my favorite)
- Mobile Satellite Radio Plus (I have never tried this one... I've seen it on Handango and it looks like it hasn't been updated in awhile. If anyone has tried this, PLEASE let us know your thoughts on it).
-XStream XM - never tried it, in fact I can't even find it anywhere, but I know from reading about it that it's very low on features.
Those are the only ones I'm aware of. Does anyone know any that I'm missing? Now that they are streaming at the new higher quality bitrate, I'm much more inclined to use their streaming service.
I'd love to see an app that allows to you to see what's playing on any given channel without actually switching to the channel, like all their hardware radios do, but I have yet to see an app that has this feature.
Please let us know what you're using, and your thoughts.
Thanks!
I'm unable to purchase any apps from the Android Market. The webpage reports that apps cannot be installed on my device (Galaxy S /w Bionix).
I've attached a screenshot of the dead end I'm reaching.
When the phone is connected to my computer I've tried de-selecting USB debugging and selecting to mount USB for copying files. None of the configurations I can find results in my device seen by the computer. It's always grayed out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many Thanks,
*update
Installing free apps does not present the same problem, as seen in the attached screenshot.
I haven't used the Android market web page to actually buy an app. Does it depend on Google checkout for an instant payment? If so, is your credit card information up-to-date?
--Brandon Young
I'm not able to get far enough to input credit card info. I'm only able to pick an app, and click buy. Then I get the screen I posted and cannot proceed.
*update
It has nothing to do with the phone/pc connection. I'm getting the same results with the phone disconnected from the PC. I can install free apps as seen in the screenshot before. But I cannot buy apps for which I have already installed the trial version, as seen in the other screenshot.
*update
I also get the same results for any non-free apps for which I have not already installed the trial version. I get the grayed out device and continue as seen in the screenshot.
So, the problem has nothing to do with incompatibility issues with trial versions and paid versions of the same app.
Dude -- aren't you the one that couldn't get on Team Whiskey's website ? check you connection and speed connect. Then try on WIFI, I think you got things messed up, go through the settings one by one and check. Also do a speed test.
Local wifi isn't the problem. I've tried four machines, two in Asia, two in North America. And the browser isn't the problem either. One of the machines in North America with a fast connection has Chrome, and I still get the same problem.
Chrome did however allow me to register for the forums on Team Whiskey. I'll post there to see if they know anything about this problem.
so i have no need of it now but the top line of apps that keep track of what you have opened just keeps getting longer.. anyone now how to clear that out yet?
also if anyone is looking for a password app to bock a few apps from the kids accidently buying apps or getting into your email the app "app protector pro"(also has a trial) is one of the few that work... some on the amazon store do not block at all and some are buggy. this one i have been using since yesterday and it has several good modes. only thing with this is i had to side load a different facebook app(touch client for facebook) because the "app" for amazon just goes to the browser. and this will allow the kids on theirs without logging me out or getting into mine.
.i know people are having problems getting the regular market place in. i stopped trying and just started using blapkmarket side loaded for my apps.
also im finding kobo to be the best ereader app to side load that seems to give the best results.
hope this helps anyone with the same issues
The Recent section is one of the more annoying aspects to the UI in my opinion. First it should need to be SO LARGE... and second, it would be nice to just turn it off. Many of the "icons" displayed are terrible looking especially recent web pages etc...
The other is the lack of control buttons being available without an extra step. Coming from a Android phone it takes some getting used to. I suppose someone who has never had a droid based phone might think it is okay, but I would guess not.
To clear apps from your carousel: Settings->applications->Filter by all Apps->AppManager -> Clear Data
to clear watched videos from your carousel. Settings->More->Applications->Amazon Video-> Clear Data -> Go back to the home screen click on one of the other tabs like books and then back the the home and it is gone.
-D
worked thank you
Now we need a setting that just makes the carousel disappear completely.... most likely a different app launcher though.
Hello!
My first app is close to ready and I'm searching for an ad network to use. The problem is that most networks that I've looked at seem to only show you a list of ads that have already appeared in your app. This lets you block low quality ads after they've appeared, but by then it's already too late. I'm very picky about the ads that are going to be in the app, and I'm hoping for a global audience.
Is there a network that lets you preview the ads that will appear in your app for different countries?
Thanks!

Hey!
As far as I'm aware there are mobile ad networks that let you run direct deals with advertisers of your choice (i.e. Chartboost) and you can be as picky as you want, on a country-level as well. The downside is that this requires high maintenance from your end and you have to regularly select one-by-one the ads that will get displayed to your users and do this for every country, in order to maximize revenues.
If you don't want to annoy your users with intrusive and low quality ads, you have other alternatives too.
I work for Avocarrot and we specialize in mobile native ads. We work closely with many app developers to create the best advertising experience for their users and have partnerships with premium ad exchanges to serve ads on a global scale that your users will find interesting.
If you have 15mins, check out http://www.avocarrot.com and integrate native ads to see how you can serve ads without annoying your users.
Cheers

I think most ad networks let you choose what ads you want to show and let you set some general filters,
atleast the ones with the interstitial ads.
Hi there,
I am trying to figure out which ad network to use.
I am about to release an arcade - genre Android game, and am looking for an ad network to serve the highest cpms for interstitials and banners.
I want high fill rates, high gauranteed/cpm floor rates, and a low minimum payout since I am just starting.
Anything helps!
Thanks!
All ad networks have their ups and downs. They'll have a good campaign, then it will end, then later they'll get another, and so on. It's best to have multiple networks and mediate them. That way you get the benefit of the ups, and can mitigate the downs.
