Mirror API - Share contact appears in myglass but not on device - google-mirror-api

This web app based share contact appears in myglass, but this same contact does not show up on device, when selecting share for an image.
The web app is also subscribed to the timeline

I have noticed some sync issues with contacts since the change to them a couple of weeks ago. What has worked for me was plugging Glass in while it is able to connect to WiFi, which seems to force it to do the full round of syncing. Could be coincidence, however.

Google Analytics is not showing all tracking of order

I am running a website and registered for Google Analytics. Got code embedded into my site.
My site in On Drupal and using Ubercart for Online shopping. There is only one payment mode BY CREDIT/DEBIT CARD.
The issue is that Analytics in not tracking my all orders that have been made, some of them is missing.
I have checked that the code has no issues in it, not problem of Sync as well because i have waited a long and orders that are missing are of the date say for example 5-9-2013 and i do have orders tracked of date 6-9-2013.
Anyone have any idea how to resolve it?
User can opt out of the Google Analytics Tracking, they may have not javascript, they may cancel page load before the tag has fired, they may sit an office where the company firewall filters out calls to the google server etc. Javascript-based tracking is never especially accurate (Google themselves warns that Analytics show Trends, not exact numbers).
So I don't think there's a way to resolve differences between GA and backend systems.

Expected wait time on INSERT cards?

I am able to get cards to show up in my timeline, but they are taking a really long time (5-30 minutes). I can see the cards in the API's LIST command, but they don't show up on my glass. I am connected through my GS4, but I have the same problem over my home wifi and corporate wifi. Is this lag time to be expected?
A slight delay is to be expected, but 5-10 minutes is really high. If you are seeing the same behavior with first party Glassware (GMail, Google+, etc.) it is best to follow up with your guide (support tab on MyGlass) to help investigate if the issue is coming from your device.
My experience is that if Glassware is hosted on Google infrastructure like App Engine, the response time is pretty fast.
If you really want steps to put your Maven project onto App Engine, I can provide that.

Database app, accessible from Mac, iPad and Web

I feel very out of my depth with this query, but not being able to do it isn't really an option so I am going to have to learn how one way or another.
I have been tasked with building an application / database for a Chauffeur company. I have done similar things before in Microsoft Access for other customers, hence getting this request, but this customer wants to be able to run the app on their Mac, and not install Windows. My only real experience of coding is HTML/CSS and some VBA when using Microsoft Access. For these Access DBs I have created separate front and back end files to allow multi user access and also remote access (the back end file being kept on the company server).
So onto my query (apologies for dragging it out)...
I need to be able to build something that the single user can open and run on his Mac, so he can view, add, change jobs and their details. He also needs to have the same access on his iPad, although purely viewing would suffice.
As regards the web access, basically he wants to be able to go onto his "Booking System" application, go to "New Job" and send a link to his client, where they would click the link in a browser, fill in the details (Name, Contact Number, collection and drop off addresses, collection date and time etc...) and when they submit this form the details be updated on his booking system.
My issue is I do not really know where to start. I just need some pointers as to where to get started. Is it an issue of building a MySQL database back end and then hosting this somewhere and linking different front ends to it etc...
Yes, with multiple clients, the web is your best answer. For the cheapest hosting route, you can find good, inexpensive PHP and MySQL hosting that will provide what you need. You can design the front end with HTML/CSS, use PHP to develop the logic and data access, and use MySQL to host the data.
The Mac and iPad can access the application via the web URL--you will not be building an iOS app, rather the user will access the web site through a web browser. You can use some pretty neat tools like jQuery UI Mobile to create an app-like experience, but if you need to support multiple clients on a small budget, an iOS app and separate web site is not the way to go.
Make sure you have some PHP expertise available or figure this part out. There are tons of great resources on the web to get started. Good luck!

Responsive links in HTML Email directing customers to mobile site or desktop site

We recently had a mobile site built which was great but when we send out our html emails I'm having to use media queries on the links to send customers to the desktop site or mobile site as the URLs are different Eg. m.mobilesite.com and www.desktopsite.com.
I'd like to use something like 'detectmobilebrowsers.com' so I can do away with the media queries and have one link which is built up of both the mobile and desktop links. The setup advice on this site is not very helpful.
Does anybody know how to do this?
Personally, I don't like the sound of that. You cannot guarantee that the mail/webmail client will be able to support "responsive links", regardless of the device that the user is viewing it on. Hence, you could very well be pointing users to the wrong device specific site.
What I would do, is point all of your email links to the main site version. At that point, you should have some form of device detection in place on your server. Your site logic should be able to forward the user on to the correct site specific page (e.g. mobile visitor sent to mobile version of same page, desktop user not redirected).
If you don't any redirection logic in place (you really should, read this), basically this is what you're looking to achieve:

If you're not following the rules laid out by Google regarding redirects and canonical link tags, you may find yourself in trouble at some point.
If this is all a bit beyond your technical ability, I'd suggest you speak with whoever built your mobile site as this isn't for the faint hearted.

Why does it always display "No Insights Available" for my apps?

We have launched several Facebook apps. They are intended to run on Facebook Pages as tab-based iframe apps. These apps have been installed on dozens of pages, have thousands of daily users. Users who view these tabs do not need to authorize the apps, we don't require any permissions. When users share through these apps, we use the Facebook JS dialogs library.
With the exception of one, all of these apps display "No Insights Available" when I try to view the insights data. The only analytics we get from Facebook is the Insights summary page which includes some basic user, sharing and performance data - but no details are available.
As I mentioned, one app does have Insights. It was the first app we launched on Facebook. It was originally a canvas iframe app but now runs exclusively from profile pages. This seems to be the only difference from our more recent apps.
So I guess my question is this: is Insights availability triggered by having users access your canvas app? Or is there some other reason that we can not get Insights for all of our apps except the one original application? As I mentioned, users are sharing from these apps and we would love to know more about the reaction those stories are getting.
(I filed a bug with Facebook but after an initial request for app ids and a promise to look into it, they have since stopped responding to my requests for an update.)
In the end, it turns out this was a Facebook bug that they have now fixed. We weren't doing anything wrong. The fact that one app had canvas page views and the other did not was purely coincidental.
On Wednesday, Facebook has deployed an updated version of Insights that integrates with their application page directly - and miraculously, we're able to see Insights data for all of our applications again, including historical data that Facebook previously listed as "No insights available."
If anyone is interested, here's their blog posting on the upgraded Insights application. https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/554/
