Re: [android-developers] Re: Anyone noticing more uninstalls of their app than usual over last weekend/today?
Has anyone heard any new about this issue being fixed. My active user stats are still down over 30%. Also, it now looks like the new market ranking system uses active users to rank apps. It has been over 2 months now. On Fri, Jan 22, 2010 at 3:33 PM, Seni Sangrujee sangru...@gmail.com wrote: Hmm, that's grim. Thanks for the updates, everyone. Unfortunately, it looks like the current Market crisis is the Stuck at 'Starting Download' problem which seems to be pretty widespread, so our issue continues to be on the backburner. -seni -- Android Prayer Network http://prayerstoshare.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

I am trying to space updates around once a week but since I'm in beta I do update major issues right away. Hopefully the people that are using the game are not getting annoyed and understand that frequent updates will be the norm for awhile. On Wed, Dec 23, 2009 at 10:00 PM, dadical keyes...@gmail.com wrote: I update at the rate that my users demand. Less frequently, actually, for the reasons that you mention. It's an interesting balance to strike. I'm rated very high by users for my quick turn around on defect fixes and feature requests, but unless I have a serious issue to deal with I try to space releases at least 7-10 days apart. I would say that a satisfaction rating of 4.5 with 100s of ratings speaks in favor of my approach, but I'd be interested in hearing other opinions.

I personally am starting to update less and less often because it's just plain annoying to update an app and then 5 days later here it comes again multiply that by 10, 20 or 100 apps and users will be more and more inclined to be running old versions of your software.

Anyone here how long till they get it fixed? I dropped from 86% active to 41%. Also, if you ever wanted to know if the amount of active users affects you ranking in the market, it sure does.

Re: [android-developers] Re: Anyone noticing more uninstalls of their app than usual over last weekend/today?
My stats trended the same way as you reported. My app was updated targeting the 1.5 sdk with minsdkversion = 3. No changes have been made to those settings since I released the app almost 2 months ago. On Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 3:04 PM, Seni Sangrujee sangru...@gmail.com wrote: The timing of this is unfortunate. I'm not anticipating an answer from Google any time soon as many folks there might gone on vacation this week. We might be on our own here for the time being. If the issue is just that installs aren't getting tracked properly as actives, that's not too bad. I'm more troubled if people can't install or apps are getting uninstalled. There are going to be a lot of Android phones given as Christmas presents and the post-Christmas surge in the Market will be interesting to see. It looks like it's only happening to people that recently released an update, so I'm curious about something. For those that are having this problem, did you use the 2.0.1 SDK for your update? Here's my info: - released update Friday - Build Target Android: 2.0.1 (api level 6) - Manifest: uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion=3 android:targetSdkVersion=3 / DateDownl. New Actives Mon, Dec 14 307 215 Tue, Dec 15 346 234 Wed, Dec 16 251 151 Thu, Dec 17 334 199 Fri, Dec 18 429 82 (released update) Sat, Dec 19 274 -275 Sun, Dec 20 389 -98 Mon, Dec 21 404 -151 I've seen several theories going around as to the cause, I'm not sure if it's a purely Market issue or something we can change on our apps. I'm thinking of testing these out: 1. put the old version of my app back as a new update to see if the stats trend changes going forward 2. release a new update built against an older version of the SDK and see if the stats trend changes -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Android Developers group.

Here's an official answer: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=4c5752ca3e5af4ffhl=en On Tue, Dec 22, 2009 at 4:55 PM, dadical keyes...@gmail.com wrote: Same thing with my application, Screebl. Dropped by around 10% in one night. I've released lots of updates over the past few months, averaging about one/week, and have never seen this happen. Perhaps Google has changed the definition of an active installation? Disturbing as active install count is the most heavily weighted factor in calculating ranking in the market. pawpaw17 wrote: I released an upgrade to my app on Saturday night and since have noticed an unusual number of uninstalls.

This is happening on my free app though. Big time. I've lost 17% so far. On Mon, Dec 21, 2009 at 9:29 PM, wusch jwu...@gmail.com wrote: I am seeing it too. Did you use the Max SDK setting on the AndroidManifest.xml? I noticed a blog posting that said the default behavior is when a Over the Air update was pushed for 2.0.1 and you had a max sdk setting of 5, it would Uninstall the purchased application automatically!! Supposedly they are fixing this going forward...
