What's more accurate than GPS in determining location on mobile - javascript

I have a company where I want to show every detail like offices, ladders and WC's on a map on a mobile app to be displayed to visitors.
I want also to track the visitors inside the company or "Mall" through their mobiles ... counting them a day for example , and making a small social network between them.
GPS unfortunately isn't accurate enough to be used here. can you suggest a better localization method ?

Bluetooth beacons are designed for this kind of thing but depend on you getting users to download the app and turn on Bluetooth. Look into Apple's iBeacon standard and Google's Eddystone. Both can be used on Android and iOS.

Dynamic rating and description in smart app banner

In my application i have created smart app banner for mobile app(Android/IOS).If I click the open button according to my mobile device i am target to (Android app - google play) or (IOS app - Apple store) of my app. But In banner i am not getting dynamic description and rating from (App store/google play). so please any one help me to get description and rating dynamically from (App store/google play).
I think that what you are looking for are APIs.
Regarding App Store you may take a look to the iTunes Search API (see the lookup section) which will give you a nice JSON object representing the app. I'd suggest to fiddle with it to understand better how it works.
In regard to Play Store there are no official APIs, while some unofficial versions are available. Take a look at this Quora question for further informations.

Monitor Asterisk Extensions On a Web Page

I've been looking around for a way to monitor asterisk extensions, just like a BLF, using a web page.
I'm building an ASP.NET web app to integrate with the users phones,
and I want 300 users having the extensions field on their web page updating in real time.
I know FOP2 does that pretty neatly.
I'm not expecting anyone to lay down a perfect solution for me,
just a general directaion.
Thank You!
Use AMI to read a list of SIP devices, then use that list to query the device status of each SIP device. Then show the icon status of each SIP device.
Without knowing more of your use-case, that's about as exact as I can get.

PhoneGap dial function on android Tablet

I make an app...But I found a problem.
I Use telephony hardware for make a call for smartphone..
in my source i use
ng-click="openDial(tel)">
I need to detect SMARTPHONE or TABLET for show or hide DIAL DIV
How can i do it?
You'll have to make some guesses based on userAgent, perhaps on phoneGap's device info API, maybe some other things. It may be possible that there is some native API for figuring out if a dialer app is available .. but considering that it's entirely possible that a tablet could have something registered to dial numbers (at least in Android .. such as Skype or other VOIP dialers), perhaps you should just let it be.

Monitoring the displacement of a mobile device using GPS

I am wanting to develop an application for mobile devices, which shows in real time where a user (with this software installed on your mobile device) is. The idea would be that one (or more) users could follow the map the displacement of another user via GPS. I want to use PhoneGap with HTML5 and CSS and Javascript.
My question is: Is it possible to do that with these technologies? If yes, where can I get information of how to handle the GPS that way? If you can not, which language would give me this possibility and where can I get information? At first, I intend to develop this Application for Android and IOS.
Yes it’s very much possible with PhoneGap technology. You have to write a web service to keep the GPS coordinates as user updates (or auto updates) in server. You can let other users to connect to Web service and get the info they wanted (i.e. the data they wanted to see the current location of the user). You developed using PhoneGap means, it’ll work for iPhone too.
You can easily develop a web service either using PHP, Java or C# though C# web services are easy to write and maintain but PHP web servers are cheap compare to windows hosting (which you will need to host C# web service).
The question you asked is very broad so can write a 1000 words article and beyond. If you ask specific question I can answer that.

Can a mobile Web app obtain Android device identification information?

At a recent event a developer working for one of the top US mobile operators told me that "an HTML5 Web app can obtain unique device identification information on any Android device it runs in." The comment was about Web-native apps in cell phones, not HTML5 running inside a WebView in a Java app.
How can this be done? Unfortunately, I don't have access to the developer to ask.
At a minimum, I would consider any of the following to be uniquely identifying the device: ANDROID_ID, phone number and IMEI for GSM or MEID/ESN for CDMA. There may be other types of identifiers I'm not familiar with.
You can't get those details from the browser. I'd be concerned if you could!
You could use cookies to uniquely identify a user, but there's no way to personally identify them. Even then cookies can be cleared.
