Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

RE: Non Working of My Jobs


Auto update   feature is already enabled in the app.. If the user agrees to “app update”, there won’t be any problem. The app will work fine on all the UbiSlates J

In parallel, we are trying to see if we can do something on the server-side to fix the issue in a non-conventional manner so that the old app will also work..

Geetha

Dear Amit

Thanks for your response

You are absolutely right about the “ Auto Update “ feature and I request Bhushan / Shuklendu to indicate how soon this can be integrated

In the meantime , this morning , I came across www.appstoempower.org and have submitted “ My Jobs “ for the contest , knowing well that it does not qualify against several laid-down criteria

Thru their “ Contact Us “ form , I have also sent to them , my attached recent comments on different web sites , with a request to add these at their page, “ GET IDEAS

Hi Hemen,

I’ll get it checked and update you.

How about integrating the auto update (upon users’ permission) feature in the app?

Dear Geetha

Many thanks for your prompt response

I will try what you suggest but that leaves me worried if , some of those 150,000 Ubislate users face similar experience !

They may not know that we have switched server and should , therefore , download latest version of My Jobs , once again from Google Play


Thru this mail , I request Amit ( Datawind ) to check the version of My Jobs that they are pre-loading

Dear Hemen,

   Please try to download the latest version from the Android market and try that..     https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=hp.com.jamtasklet.aakash

   Please replace the preinstall version on Ubislate with the same one, just to be sure..

Subject: Non Working of My Jobs

Dear Amit


This morning , I tried to check out working of “ My Jobs “ pre-installed on Ubislate7Ci tablet that you sent thru my colleague, Pradeep

It does not go beyond the second screen ( ie : cannot open the Login screen )


Last week , Harish ( who is working on the IIT-B version of My Jobs ) faced the same problem , using a Aakash2 tablet. He had , in fact , downloaded My Jobs from Google Play

I believe , earlier HP Labs team had faced same problem ( I could be wrong here , since they are still using Aakash1 )

May be there is some problem with the different versions of Android OS, since My Jobs is working perfectly well on my Samsung Galaxy S2 phone

I request you to look into this.

If you conclude that we need to make some changes in My Jobs APK file , please advise

With regards,

Dear Mr Hemen Sir,
Extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused..  In the last 2-3 days,  we had to change the backend cloud server to a different one. While doing so, we were testing the Job widget to see whether it will work well with the new server, and for this we had brought down the old server couple of times (for few minutes only).. It is possible, that the testing from your side happened at those moments.
In fact, we had made the widget such that even when the backend server changes, it should adapt itself.. There was a minor problem with that feature.. We have now corrected it and would like to release a new version of the apk..  I was actually going to write to you today about this issue and release a new apk file..

  Please find attached the new apk files. Please test it once and let us know if the functionality is ok..  Apologies once again..  

  I am not sure if the errors you mention is same as the above server-related error or something to do with Akash 2 port.  In either case, I request Mr. Shuklendu to let us know the details of the error faced on Akash2.  We have ordered one unit of Akash 2 online and awaiting its delivery. Meanwhile, if you could send us a tablet, we will be glad to test it out on the same.

 Thanks !

Dear Bhushan


For past 2 / 3 days , My Jobs is not working properly – sometimes , not at all

Yesterday , I re-installed it , without improvement

Here is feedback from Amit Goyal ( who replaced Jasjit Singh at Datawind as VP-Platform Strategy ):

We tested My Jobs app and it didn't seem to work. Most of the time it fails to launch and if at all it goes to the next step, an error pops up in indefinite loop

On Friday, I emailed APK file to Prof Rahul Deshmukh, Head-CDEEP, IIT-Bombay, for installing and testing on Aakash2

Prof Deshmukh is heading the team at IIT-B, which is developing apps for Aakash2

By a copy of this email , I am requesting Shuklendu to talk to you and explain the error-messages being received during operation

I would appreciate if Prosonjit could look into this on priority basis

As mentioned in my last mail , Teracom may have started pre-installing My Jobs on their tablets by now

I have also sent APK file to another 30+ tablet manufacturers ( with User Name / Password ), with a request to install and test

RE: Non Disclosure Agreement


Dear Mr. Hemen,
Thanks for your email… The earlier NDA signed by you was for usage of SiteOnMobile services.. The current discussion is about source code of an application we have delivered.. I have been having discussions with the concerned HP business to see if we can release the source code to you ..

As you will appreciate, since it is NOT a normal practice to give source code to even paying customers (who buy the app), these discussions have not been easy… . Having said that, we will work through this to find a solution – as a special case.. Sorry for the delays..

Last week , I also got positive indication from Swipe Telecom ( Pune ) that they are seriously considering pre-installing My Jobs on all of their tablets

Dear Mr. Hemen,
Thanks very much for the update on the Jobs Widget.  I am sorry that I too did not touch base with you for a long time.

  I appreciate your efforts to improve the usage of the Jobs widget, and do look forward to a time when the Job widget can start making ‘real’ advertising revenue.

  I am in principle fine with sharing the source code of the Job widget, but we may need to go through a small non-disclosure agreement to ensure that the code is not used for any other purpose nor is it re-distributed or open sourced.  Let me check if we have such forms. I will get back to you by next week for the same.

Meanwhile, I suggest that we promote our SMS and voice interface for the Jobs widget to get more from the masses to continue to use your portal. SiteOnMobile  is still live and we will be adding more features as well.

Wishing you well.

Thanks and regards

Dear  Geetha



It has been quite a long time since I updated you on the latest about  My Jobs widget  which you developed for RecruitGuru

This is where it stands at the moment :


Ø   It has been integrated with InMobi Ad Network and can be downloaded from our web site as well as from Google Play

Ø   Datawind , not being happy with the fill-rate of InMobi , have tied up with Yahoo Ad Network

Ø   Yahoo model will be CPM ( InMobi is CTR )

Ø   Despite a wait of over 6 months , Datawind has , so far , not received Yahoo SDK

Ø   Till this time , neither My Jobs nor other apps selected by Datawind , can be integrated

Ø   In the meantime Datawind also ran into difficulties with regard to specs from IIT-Rajasthan and deliveries from QUAD corp

Ø   Govt asked IIT-Bombay to come up with revised specs for Aakash2 , which they did

Ø   Datawind delivered 1000 samples ( as per new specs ) to IIT-B , which were tested and approved

Ø   Aakash2 is expected to be launched by Kapil Sibal on Sept 22

Ø   Datawind has to deliver 100,000 tablets to IIT-B , as per new specs

Ø   Now Datawind has started sourcing tablets from some Chinese manufacturer

Ø   As far as their commercial ( non-govt ) versions, Ubislate 7+ and Ubislate 7C , are concerned , Datawind are sourcing the same from VMC Corp – Hyderabad

Ø   So far there is very little publicity – and , consequently very little usage – of My Jobs Widget

Ø   My efforts to persuade other tablet manufacturers to pre-install My Jobs , continue



As soon as there is any significant development , I will keep you informed

In the meantime , is it possible for you to send me the source-code for My Jobs widget ?

I am not interested in your Tasklet Technology based code . Just the Android code for the app

This will help us to quickly carry out small improvements on our own , without imposing ourselves on your valuable resources, again and again

I await your favorable decision



With regards
