How to enable Tooyoou Widget on your Android device running Android 3.x and higher?

This is a post aimed at helping Android device users running Tooyoou App on their phones and tablets to successfully find and enable Tooyoou widget (billboard) on their devices. Assuming we all know how to enable a widget on devices running Android versions 1.6 (Donut) through to 2.3.x (Gingerbread) below are directions to enable your Tooyoou widget on Android devices running 3.x and higher (Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean).

Android being the ever changing and evolving OS that it is, sometimes even the goodness that comes out of it might make App developers and users gasp for breath in keeping pace with its changes. These progressive changes that make Android the phenomenal mobile OS it is sometimes leave App users confused as to how things work in the new version of the OS running on their sleek new gadget.

A perfect example can be a simple task of enabling an App Widget on an Android device. We have received quite a few emails and queries from Tooyoou App users running Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich on their Android devices that after installing Tooyoou they were unable to find Tooyoou widget on their Widgets list and had problems enabling it thus inferring that Tooyoou does not work on Honeycomb and ICS devices anymore.

Well, good news is that Tooyoou works for all devices starting from Donut up to Jelly bean devices without any problems and we are here to show you how.

Android devices running 3.x and higher (Honeycomb through to Jelly Bean) - 
this is how you enable Tooyoou widget after installing Tooyoou. Screen shots below were generated using Ice Cream Sandwich (Android v 4.0.4)

a) Go to your home screen after installing Tooyoou on your Android device. 
Press Apps Launcher button as shown in the image below.

b) You will see this screen next where you can navigate under All Apps drawer to check if you have Tooyoou installed successfully on your device.

c) Now Press Widgets in the right hand top corner beside All Apps and then swipe through the list to find Tooyoou widget.

Please note and always keep in mind that on Android devices running Honeycomb and above you might not be able to find Tooyoou widget in the Widgets list right after installing Tooyoou from Google Play. Restarting / Rebooting your device will resolve this issue. As far as we know this has been reported as a defect to Google Android team here. 

d) Once you have found Tooyoou widget in the Widgets list press and hold the widget and place it on your home screen wherever you have space for a 4 by 1 widget.

e) That's it! You have successfully enabled the Tooyoou widget on your Android device running Ice Cream Sandwich.

The Mobile Billboard Unleashed

Tweet

An example apparel Ad on your Tooyoou Billboard from Macy's. This is just an example.

Tooyoou's mobile billboard takes no more space than this on the home screen of your smart phone. This is the screen capture taken from  a real device HTC Droid Incredible running Froyo (Android OS v 2.2).

The mobile billboard space looks simple and trivial, but once on your smart phone home screen, its contents appear right in front of you at a zero click distance and grabs your critical attention span. That in itself is what we call "Advertiser's GOLD".

It makes logical sense to us, when its your phone, your space and your undivided attention, businesses will compete to advertise on that space and pay you money for that exclusive mobile real estate.

What is it?

"A personalized, smart, secure mobile billboard that displays time and location sensitive promotions only for you, from the businesses you like and gets you PAID."

Your Choice

Users might be wondering why they would want more ads on their Android phone. There are so many random advertisements already streamed inside mobile applications and in web browsers. To those users Tooyoou differs for good and gives every user the Choice. We @tooyoou believe when it's your phone, your space and you pay for your phone bill, you should have the right to choose what advertisements you see. 

Below is "Your Choice" screen of the Tooyoou Android App where you can choose from different categories  that interest you at any time of the day. Once you choose the category, Tooyoou finds the best deal in that category for you in your locality and streams it on your Android phone's home screen. On top of that, you get paid for every Ad that is streamed to your mobile phone.

Your Money

This is where in the Tooyoou Android App you can keep track of how much real money you have made from seeing Ads and deals you wanted to see on your billboard. It also shows when will you get paid next, number of ads streamed this month and when and how much was the last payment made to you.

First Look at the Tooyoou Android App

Tweet

Tooyoou gives you full control of who can advertise on your mobile phone, what can be advertised on your phone and when you see those advertisements. In the process you earn real money and get great deals for your space, valuable time and attention.

You specify "Your Choice" in the App at a certain time of the day you might want to go shopping for apparel and you receive advertisements from businesses near you on great deals they have on apparel. Essentially you don't have to click the ad on your home screen or buy anything from the business advertising to you. Tooyoou still pays you for the advertisement being streamed on your phone.

"Your Ads" shows you an advertisement message or a coupon depending on the advertisement being streamed on your phone at that time.

"Your Money" shows you how much you have accrued in your account and when will you get paid next.

Intuitive - Yes / Intrusive - No

Do the words intrusive and irrelevant come to your mind when you think of mobile advertisements? It definitely comes to our mind. But we are here to change that.

Tooyoou gives you the power to choose the types of advertisements that are streamed on your billboard and full control of when you see them.

 

This choice and control ensures that every advertisement from Tooyoou is relevant to you.
