Phantom Vibrations

Isn't it somewhat embarrassing when you reach into your pocket for your phone because you felt it vibrating only to find that the phone is in your coat pocket? This emphasizes our relationship with our phones and phone services. About two thirds of people surveyed in recent studies have said that they have felt these vibrations. It is not a major problem, clearly, but it’s an intriguing phenomenon. Healthy people don’t often hallucinate. But lots of healthy people experience this particular hallucination. Twenty- and thirty-somethings who grew up with cellphones and have them ingrained in their daily lives probably experience the effect more than older people or technophobes. Experts think that these phantom vibrations are coming from the brain's tendency to fill in gaps to find patterns. You should also consider having your phone in a different pocket if they become too bothersome.

Mobile App Fraud

Fraud exists in many different forms, including through mobile applications. The businesses of mobile app developers get hurt is when their game is hacked by their players. When the virtual currency is targeted, one thinks of the lost revenue, but even bigger impact is on the competition between players within the game. One solution is to use a sophisticated app tracker service. Its open-source tracker SDK runs a more complex code in the app, which makes it harder to fake an install and requires a fraudster to simulate the whole app rather than manipulate HTTP API.Another approach implemented by Adjust.com is to monitor and report inconsistencies, such as installs that come, for example, from German devices that have Chinese timezone settings. There are also issues with fraudulent ads which you can counter with looking for references and recommendations for the advertisements.
