Any ideas. Also, I figured out how to test my apk myself by sending it in an email, then installing it directly. The tethering with the usb works for direct testing as well.

Is there any way to disable this? Comments Ok, so I guess the app publishes the location of the user onto the buzztouch maps. Is there any way to disable this?

The URL used to check for updates includes the devices location so we can show it to you on your control panel map. If you don't want this, review the downloadAppData() method in the Act_Home.java file. Remove the deviceId, deviceLongitude, etc. from the URL. Hope this helps.
