DeviceAtlas

Is it possible to get a list of device properties using just a vendor and model?

If this is not possible then at least it would be nice to be able to get a user-agent for a given vendor model combination.

The reason I ask is that when one would like to offer the user the opportunity to change there handset from what was auto detected(auto detection may be wrong) it would require the user to select their handsets vendor and then the make, once they have done that DA should be able to give back all that handsets details based on the vendor make combination.

With Android getting a bigger and bigger market share, I've noticed that one spesific hand-set using Android can have a huge amount of different user-agent strings. The problem is that alot of these aren't recognized by DeviceAtlas.

What do you suggest I can try to get around this? Hook up Wurfl as a back-up? Manually search-replace all user-agents we come across? I don't see a way to add user-agents to the DeviceAtlas database, and I don't have access to all the devices to do the Ta-da tests.

Hi,
I have a blocking issue using DA Beta 2.3. Can you help ?

The issue is with Mobi_Mtld_DA_Api::getTreeFromFile(json/DeviceAtlas.json) which never completes while raising no exception. The following code displays
'getTreeFromFile to start'
but never
'getTreeFromFile complete'.
It seems code execution is stalled or stuck in endless loop.

Code:

require_once 'library/Mobi/Mtld/DA/Api.php';
echo 'getTreeFromFile to start';
try{
$tree = Mobi_Mtld_DA_Api::getTreeFromFile('json/DeviceAtlas.json');
} catch (Mobi_Mtld_DA_Exception_JsonException $e) {
echo 'error :'.$e;
}

We have standard licence in Device Atlas. Presently using API we are retrieving information of mobile device specific to a UserAgent. But we want to retrieve whole information present in Json file at a time. I mean we want to retrieve info of all mobile devices so that we can display them in our website. Is it possible? If possible how can we do it using API?

Thanks and Best Regards,

All, before I purchase a server license, I need to know if the following is possible.

We have a site available with a mobile directory in development. Part of what the client wants is to give the user the ability to go to the full site if they choose with their mobile device. I need a way to initially detect the device and redirect, but then to allow the user to see the full site if they wish.

Ideally, I'd like to add logic to determine if the redirect has already happened so it doesn't fire again when the user navigates to the full site.

Hey all. This is kind of a double-posting, as it was a question I asked in a somewhat unrelated thread. So, I decided to start a new thread for it instead.

One thing I've come across recently is trying to properly integrate video with a mobile site. We're having major issues with trying to get some videos working.

This could just be down to the incorrect framerate or resolutions being used.

Would it be possible, when testing a device in Ta-Da, to display the actual settings used for that video/audio that you're viewing?

Hi there.

I'm just needing to find out - is there any way to resume a test session on ta-da.mobi?

I started testing my phone on ta-da.mobi, but ran out of credit during the test. this means that I would need to come back at a later stage to finish the test.

However, having attempt to do so, I see that there is no support for resuming previous tests. Are there any plans to implement the resuming of tests? Or am I just missing something ridiculously obvious?

Thanks,
Geoff

Hi,
I don't have C++ API toolkit yet. I am trying to get it. Can C++ APIs detect the device based on the model number (e.g Nokia5300, TREO700WX etc) ? I don't have user-agent HTTP header string. Please let me know.

Thanks

Hi

I noticed that on the HTC Magic the screen resolution is 320x480, however the optimum wallpaper resolution is actually 640x480 (due to the scrolling desktop).
Does Device Atlas retain information on the ideal wallpaper size for a device?

I took a quick peek at WURFL and noticed the following properties
wallpaper_max_width: Maximum width supported for a wallpaper
wallpaper_max_height: Maximum height supported for a wallpaper
wallpaper_preferred_width: Maximum width suggested for a wallpaper
wallpaper_preferred_height: Maximum height suggested for a wallpaper
