AdColony - AdMob Mediation / Test Ads Worked but Live Ads Does Not Worked

I am a newbie in both in this forum and in Android world. I just developed a singleplayer trivia game, named "Reklamsız Bilgi Yarışması", only supports my local language but accessable in all over the world.
I just followed the guides and integrated AdColony to my AdMob account and get the perfect results, with test video ads.
However, after going live, nothing happened. Many of my customers wrote me that they can not get Ad Videos. Also, in admob, I saw 650 requests happened and only 4 of them get the video!
In AdColony statistics, I saw only 5 lucky guy requested the video and got watched full video, then took their rewards.
So, how could it be? Hundreds of request but only %0.25 of them were answered by AdMob (Or AdColony), I could not understand.
Lastly, %98 percent of my customers are from Turkey, %1 from Azerbaijan and %1 from Germany.
Is there any possible mistake in coding? Because I saw the test ads, on my physical device, not on the emulator also.
Thank You !

Here are all codes that I used, which are about the "Rewarded Video Ads"

I could not solve the problem but i think it is caused by AdColony. Because 7 people could manage to see live Ads, the others got the warning as "RewardedVideoFailedtoLoad". I think AdColony limited my Ad views because my App has only 2.500 hit now and also almost 99% exist in Turkey. Probably about the location and download numbers. I've just updated my game with Chartboost.

Error code 2 in beacon transmitter for Android Beacon library

I want to send a BLE advertisement using Android beacon library. Below is the code I am using for it.
package com.example.beacon_emitter;
import java.util.Arrays;
import org.altbeacon.beacon.Beacon;
import org.altbeacon.beacon.BeaconParser;
import org.altbeacon.beacon.BeaconTransmitter;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;

import android.bluetooth.le.AdvertiseSettings;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Beacon beacon = new Beacon.Builder()
.setId1("2f234454-cf6d-4a0f-adf2-f4911ba9ffa6")
.setId2("1")
.setId3("2")
.setManufacturer(0x0118)
.setTxPower(-59)
.setDataFields(Arrays.asList(new Long[] {0l}))
.build();
BeaconParser beaconParser = new BeaconParser()
.setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=beac,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25");
BeaconTransmitter beaconTransmitter = new BeaconTransmitter(getApplicationContext(), beaconParser);
beaconTransmitter.startAdvertising(beacon,new AdvertiseCallback() {
#Override
public void onStartFailure(int errorCode) {
Log.e("beacon", "Advertisement start failed with code: "+errorCode);
}
#Override
public void onStartSuccess(AdvertiseSettings settingsInEffect) {
Log.i("beacon", "Advertisement start succeeded.");
}
});
int result = BeaconTransmitter.checkTransmissionSupported(getApplicationContext());
Toast.makeText(this, "Device info " + result, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
// automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
// as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
int id = item.getItemId();
if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
It always gives me an errorcode 2, ADVERTISE_FAILED_TOO_MANY_ADVERTISERS. But the strange thing is when I checked the toast message it says the my device is supported the beacon transmission. I am confused.
Please help!
Thanks in Advance.

A few tips:
The BeaconTransmitter.checkTransmissionSupported() method only checks to see if the device has Bluetooth LE and that the operating system will give you a BluetoothAdvertiser.
To see if somebody else has been successful with getting your device to transmit, check to see if it is on this list: http://altbeacon.github.io/android-beacon-library/beacon-transmitter-devices.html
The ADVERTISE_FAILED_TOO_MANY_ADVERTISERS response can indicate that another app is advertising a beacon, and all the advertisement slots are used. Make sure that you don't have any other apps advertising in the background. Reboot or uninstall other apps that might be doing this if necessary.
Try the Locate Beacon app which is based on this same library, and see if it can advertise a beacon successfully. This will eliminate any possible problem with your code.
EDIT: Based on the comments below, it is reasonable to conclude that the firmware for the Intrynsyc eval kit does not properly implement the interface between Android and the Bluetooth chip. Otherwise it would either report that advertising is not available or it would not return an error message when starting advertising. The appropriate next step would be to open an issue with Intrynsyc and report these findings.

The ability to transmit as a beacon requires Bluetooth LE
advertisement capability, which may or may not be supported by a
device’s firmware.

I am trying to run this sample program to try to get familiar with the Speech Recognizer software..
Could this be an issue being caused by the fact that I'm running it on android studio rather than a real device? I am pretty stuck on this.

In case anyone comes to this question and none of the other answers help, you might want to try requesting permissions using the following code:
private void requestRecordAudioPermission() {
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
String requiredPermission = Manifest.permission.RECORD_AUDIO;
// If the user previously denied this permission then show a message explaining why
// this permission is needed
if (checkCallingOrSelfPermission(requiredPermission) == PackageManager.PERMISSION_DENIED) {
requestPermissions(new String[]{requiredPermission}, 101);
}
}
}

Error 9 ERROR_INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS is also thrown when google does not have record_audio permission.
Check the Settings -> Apps -> Google -> Permissions -> Microphone

It was just a problem with it not being supported on emulators. It works on a physical device.

What I found is that if you are "just a physical device" and you still get the same error, that is most probably is because if the target SDK in the gradle file. you see in later versions they have changed the level of permission to dangers, so by downgrading it, then you it will work.
"I am not an expert in this, but this worked from me fine"

try these links for references to your project also check all android manifest permissions here and here is a sample project
hope these hints help to solve your problem!

SMB Server with JLAN on Android : can't see share folder from PC or MAC

I'm trying to run a server on a Android device using the JLAN library.
After some works, it seems running, stopping.
From an other Android device, I can connect and see my share folder by adding manually a server with smb://192.168.0.10:1445.
Here my problems:
1) I rooted the Android Device but I can't use the port above 1024. (So I use 1445 instead 445)
2) From any other device, I can't see automaticaly my server.
It seems my netbios or my broadcast configuration is incorrect.
3) I tried connect it from a MAC like a "anonym" with smb://192.168.0.10:1445.
The authentication windows appears but when I confirm MAC said that I have no the right or that there is not any share folder.

You can see the shared folder in PC from android mobile by using jcifs which is cool please try this link pass your username and password and u can get all the shared folders by just one step smbFile.listfiles(). try it it worked for me.

Auto launch an activity when beacon comes in a certain distance

I want my application to auto launch an activity when beacon comes within a certain distance (in my case it is 1 meter)
My activity gets launched when i plug in or plug off the charger and when i boot the device but it didn't get auto launch when i closed the application and beacon is in 1 meter.
what i want is if beacon is in 1 meter then activity should launch by itself.
I am using android beacon library and following the same steps mentioned on

My Main activity class is:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainActivity extends Activity{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
}
}

The behavior of the Android Beacon Library after an app is closed is different depending on how it was closed. Beacon scanning keep going at background rates (once every 5 minutes on Android 4.x) if you use the back button. If you kill it with the task switcher, it will resume scanning as soon vas possible (on power connected/disconnected or reboot).

Your code looks OK to do what you want within the parameters of what is described above. It is possible that you are simply seeing a five minute delay on detections when the app is in the background. Scanning once every five minutes in the background is done to save battery, but is configurable. On Android 5.x this delay is not present if you go from no beacons being visible to beacons being visible.
