* HOW IT WORKS

- The app consists of two main components: The main interface and the background service. The background service performs periodic checks and updates, count data and checks if an achievement has met it's requirements. If so, it will unlock it. The main interface shows the achievements with their progress and allows different operations like sharing on Facebook the unlocked achievements.

- Please note that the progress of an achievement doesn't update instantly. This would drain too much battery. Therefore if for instance you receive an SMS or place a call don't expect that it will be counted immediately. In the background it is counted but in the interface it will be displayed with a small delay (aprox. 1 minute). However if it takes more than 1 minute and it didn't show up it means something malfunctioned and I would appreciate if you reported the issue.

* ONLINE SYNC

Now you can sync your data online. This way you will never lose your unlocked achievements and you can also share them between devices. All you have to do is use the sync option (old android version: press menu key and then Sync / new android versions: use the actionbar sync icon next to the settings one) and chose your Google account. All devices that share that account will be able to sync achievements.

Please note that only unlocked achievements and pure counters can be synced (e.g. SMS sent/received count, calls placed/received count, etc.). Achievements that are based on dates, streaks or other any other dependecy CAN NOT be synced at least for now. (e.g. don't call anyone for 24 hours)

For now you can see what has been synced to your profile by going to http://phonechievements.info/profile/inserthereyourusername/ where inserthereyourusername is your google account prefix that you used to sync with (e.g. [email protected]).

Use the Share profile option to share your profile link with almost every service installed on your phone (Mail, Facebook, Twitter, etc.)
