Hey, Nice work on the App
Where is the information regarding the 2degrees API?, i’m thinking of making an app myself, but I can’t find anything about it on the 2degrees website.
Thanks
Michael
There is no 2degrees API that I know of – my app works by running the same HTTP GET/POST request against the 2degrees server as a web browser would when logging into the site.
The sources are available under the GPL now, so you can see how it works – and maybe the functionality you are wanting can be built into the existing app?
Hi Jordan, this app is awesome. I have been using it on my phone, working great.
Can you make a version for android 3.1 ? I use a 2degrees sim for my samsung galaxy tab that runs android 3.1. But the market says this app doesn’t compatible to it. Thanks!
Hi – It does actually work on 3.1, but I’ve had trouble getting it to show on all devices. Does your galaxy tab have 3g?
Just did the 1.5 update and noticed the new bar that shows how much data has been used so far. In my case I had a $6.00 50MB pack but the graph showed it as a 100MB pack.
I though you might like to know.
This is a wonderful app and I am really grateful to have it.
Regards,
John.
Hi – Thanks for reporting this, it can be tricky to test. Can you look in the log and let me know what the lines with the Data Start value and Got Element: are. Do you also have another data pack subscribed which has been used? It can get confused if you brought both a 100mb and 50mb for example and used up one.
This was my first data pack so only the one $6.00 50MB to date.
Log is as follows but omitting the data and times:
Update Successful
Pack National Data start
Value set at 100.0
Got element: 100MB
Pack National Data start
Value set to 50.0
Got element: 50MB
Ok – As I suspected it seems you have both an 100mb and 50mb pack on your account, but with one used up. I’ll think about a way of handling this – Unfortunately with the limited ability to get data out of the 2degrees system it can be tricky to work out. I’ve created a ticket to track this at https://github.com/jords12/2Degrees-Toolbox/issues/3
Interesting as it was a new SIM only a couple of weeks old and the 50MB pack is the only one I purchased. Perhaps there is a free initial 100MB but then you would see that in the data remaining which has never exceeded the initial 50MB.
Thanks for your work and let me know if I can supply any additional info.
Regards,
John.
Re the Tablet issue. I downloaded the apk from your github and installed manually on my tablet. It works fine. my tab is galaxy 10.1 with 3g.
Could you check the value packs page on the 2degrees my account site? I think It will have both a 50MB and 100MB pack highlighted in yellow.
I got 50kb only, looks fine
Yes both are highlighted in yellow and begin with a “Buy Now” button. They both say the same thing. 47.95 MB remaining but I only ever purchased the initial 50MB.
We can see what happens when I renew it on the 17th of next month.
Regards,
John.
Ok – Not sure how I can deal with this if the source is wrongly saying you have packs you don’t. See what happens on the 17th – I’ve had other reports of this too.
I bought a new 50meg pack today and 2degrees toolbox now shows it as a 50meg pack rather that a 100 as previously. I have your latest update so I am assuming you have been able to tweek your program.
Thanks again for such a brilliantly useful app.
Regards,
John.
Great to see this page working good again. Jords, it has been a while since your last update to the program. Could you include the new 19data plan into the app?
Regards,
John.
