You can find older versions here:

https://github.com/jpapayan/tuberun_android/tree/master/bin_hist

Try the last one, 1.2.6 and let me know if it behaves any different both in departures and in the journy planner. It shouldn't because I haven't touched that code. Thanks for spending time looking into this.

That's what it does right now. I switch on/off location services only when they are needed. Once you select a station (e.g. in the the departures), the GPS will be switched off.
[Android Apps and Games] am11:
Can it override the "Use GPS Satellites" option in Location Services. I check that option when I want to use gps and uncheck it when I'm done. Can TubeRun use gps even though its unchecked.

I just tried 1.2.6 and it works perfectly. A strange one. I should have mentioned this in my first post but when I first updated to 1.2.7 of TubeRun I did get an error about Google Play Services. I was able to fix that by uninstalling it and re installing it from the market. But that error seemed to affect the new Map that is displayed on the departure section only. As the section would load with the error message displayed where the map would be and the nearby stations below. However it seems like the fix of reinstalling Google Play Services has broken gelocation for v1.2.7 of TubeRun (v1.2.6 and other apps are fine)

---------- Post added at 01:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

Problem seems to have been solved by installing the latest version of the Google Play Store. Not sure why TubeRun was the only affected app. Anyway thanks for your continued great work on TubeRun.

Regarding the actual update itself. In the departures section how do I look at departures for stations and stops that aren't nearby.
[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
Just to make something clear. When you have GPS turned on in the settings, it doesn't mean that your sensor is on all the time wasting power. An app has to request access for that (and the GPS must be on is the settings for this request to be granted). And most apps are really careful when doing that (tuberun certainly is). Therefore it's ok having the GPS setting on on all the time.

I am glad that you found the solution. The reason why only TubeRun is affected is that tuberun is compiled against the latest version of the google maps v2 api which was released only last week.

Use the search functionality with the icon in the upper right corner and type in the station/bus stop you care about..
[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
I just uploaded 1.2.8. The change log:

---v.1.2.8---

Added: added a tube map with rail lines.

New: you can delete the stored tube map by a long press in the Map section button.

Fixes: bus stop selection bug in departures.

Again, please let me know if something goes wrong.

Would it be possible to integrate tfl alerts into the app. Allow the user to opt into the SMS based travel alerts and if an alert message comes in intercept it and display a notification. This way you wouldn't have to check the status you'd just be notified automatically if there is any delay.
[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
Hi there am11.

That's actually a good idea. I may be able to do better than this. Thanks for sharing, I will think about it (added it to the todo list).

Cheers,
[Android Apps and Games] am11:
Great look forward to seeing what you have in mind. There's a few use cases I can see it being used

- The user manually specifies what train lines or bus routes they want to be notified about. (used for daily commute/regular journeys)

- As an added option to the above TubeRun scans the stations and stops the user has set as favorites and offers to provide push notifications for them.

- TubeRun detects what stations are nearby and gives notifications when there are delays to the lines/routes to them. (for those who travel alot)
[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
These are all great suggestions! Thanks for sharing.

I had implemented a simple version of your first suggestion for the the Windows Phone 7 version of tuberun. The live tile of the app was changing via push notifications to indicate the service status of your favorite tube line. It' d be cool if I can get the same information for bus routes/stops and then integrate everything in a simple "tell me if there are problems with my commute" function.

It may take some time before I get to do any of the above but it definitely sounds useful.
[Android Apps and Games] am11:
The simple push notification of the service status of the favorite tube line on its own is extremely useful and possibly even unique to TubeRun. An excellent starting point. The "tell me if there are problems with my commute" function would be something special. If that level of integration could be achieved that really would be amazing.

Could take that a step further still and expand the saved Travel Plan section in the Journey Planner. The user could save a journey from the planner then set TubeRun to send a push notification if there is a disruption to any of the bus routes/lines/train stations defined in that journey. That way the user can quickly pull up that saved travel plan and look at the alternative routes.
[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
I just pushed version 1.3.0.

This new update brings a new icon (do you like it?) and support for the new Google Maps v2 API. All maps in the app are significantly more fluid and there is also support for your device's compass. See the nearby bus routes on a map and the difference becomes obvious.

Again, please let me know if something goes wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] RambJoe:
Thanks for this app. :D

I love the new icon. Fits in perfectly with my other icons.

Would it be possible to have a map view that shows everything, not just nearby stations etc?

Also it would be cool if you could set start and final destinations for a route on the map, where it finds the location of where you put the marker. Does the Google maps api have that?

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
This would not be as useful as it sounds. A map that shows everything would be hard to use and inneficient due to the number of bus stops around you. Also a zoom level used for bus stops is pointless for rail stations. The same goes for other combinations of different types of POIs. I believe the existing design of the nearby section is quite straightforward. Many other apps in the play store try to come up with a design that puts a google map first but I believe the overall result is seldom satisfactory.

That is something that I could implement. Let me write this down in my list of todos... In general, the next area of the app in which I will focus is the journey planner.
[Android Apps and Games] RambJoe:
Thanks for the reply.

I think seeing all the Barclay's bus stations might be useful, so you can see which stops you will be traveling to have free docks. Although that could change by the time you get there and you could just use the app to see other near stations I guess.

For the journey planner on the tube, you should make the towards text say the stop at the end of the line, so you know which tube to get if the rail splits.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
The app can do that. Go to the neraby section, tap the cycle hire tab and wait for the list to load. Then click on the map on the upper right corner.

(feel free to click that map icon more often, you will like it ;))

Yes, this is a valid point. I will look into this propably in the next update (hopefully this information is exposed by the TfL Journey Planner). Thanks for the suggestion!
[Android Apps and Games] RambJoe:
Thanks. :)

Another cool thing I've seen in another app is saying the times of the ~3 next trains, it would say "(also runs at xx:xx, xx:xx and xx:xx)" for example.
[Android Apps and Games] am11:
Hi,

I wanted to ask if it was possible to add an option to display the stations/stops in order of their proximity to current location automatically. Would be handy to open favorites when I am at a particular station or stop and for it to be at the top of the list
[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
Oh, wow, what a fantastic suggestion! This will make the favourites section so much better when more than 2-3 favorites exist! It's also way better than the previous "lets-make-favorites-collapsible" idea that was suggested here previously. I am adding this near the top of my priority list! :victory:

I can't promise when I will deliver this though --- I recently changed jobs and I have been really busy. I will do my best!
[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
1.3.1 that offers this feature should be live shortly! :)
[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
I just uploaded 1.3.2. Here is the changelog.

*Journey planner suggestions improvements.

*Minor sliding menu UI updates.

*Better support for the Galaxy S4.
[Android Apps and Games] am11:
Can I request the option to include a custom favorite in the favorites section. The behavior I am after is to be able to see the departure times for the nearest bus stop and the nearest train station in the favourites section.
[Android Apps and Games] Garethbjenkins:
Brilliant. I'm in London tomorrow so I'll try and give this a go.
[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
What you asking will rarely work in practice. Often "the nearest bus stop" is not the one you expect. Plus, if I show you one, how will you identify it? Bus stop names are seldom meaningful. The underground is a bit better but still: which is the platform that you are most interested in for the nearest station?

In general I think that the current solution is sufficient for quickly peaking at information. Just mark all the bus stops that you use as favorites, make the app to jump to favorites when you launch it and then let your nearest-first suggestion do its magic. :victory:
[Android Apps and Games] am11:
Good point about train station. Only way it would work would be if instead of displaying the schedule it would add a button which when clicked gives you the same option you'd get if you would have selected that station from the departures section.

However I disagree with regards to bus stops. CityMapper (which I use for travel disruption notifications) displays bus departures at nearby stops ordering by proximity and it rarely gets the wrong stop. I've used My Next Bus in London in the past as well which also found the right stop pretty much very time. All the bus stops I've come across have the name and code displayed on them so can easily check if its the right one.

Also it will be a big advantage if it does work for people who have multiple bus stops in their favorites. The favorites section would be cleaner, could be peaked at to get the departures and would mean less time/data usage as fewer departure schedules to look up/download

[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
This is against the very design of the favorites section. The thing I love about Tuberun's favorites is that it displays multiple stops or platforms expanded right next to each other. I use it all the time like this: "should I take the bus or the train?". I can answer this question without clicking on anything. I do not want to add entries to favorites that require clicking to show you relevant information.

This is a whole different question. What is the best way to pick a bus stop to display departures data? I gave this some thought when I redesigned the Departures section some time ago. The Citimapper guys went with a hybrid map/list chooser and multiple tabs for different modes of transport. While this is an interesting approach and they have implemented it beautifully, it requires a lot of jumping across tabs and sliding the map up and down. Also, If you use the app in central London the list is not ideal for bus stops (the nearest bus stops are not relevant to me neither at my workplace nor at my home).

Tuberun instead gives you 3 options when choosing. A list of all stations sorted by distance. A map of all bus stops nearby. And a search box to look for every station or stop with typing suggestions. I find these options fast and intuitive.

I agree with this. Not all favorites should be auto-expanded upon launch -- only the closest ones. However, the data consumption is minimal and most of the entryes are rendered off screen where they are not visible. It's something that I should fix but it's propably better to spend time on something more interesting. Like... tube status push notifications! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] am11:
Glad to hear tube status push notifications are on the agenda :fingers-crossed:, I prefer having one app rather than two for the same task

I still don't understand the issue with being able to add the nearest bus stop in the favorites section. On a personal level I prefer the list of stops over the map. I find it fidly zooming into the map and picking the right stop when in an area where there are a large amount of stops. It's particularly frustrating when there are bus stops close to each other on opposite sides of the road each heading in the opposite direction as you can't easily distinguish which is the one you are at without selecting it and comparing the name. But this is a moot point as TubeRun offers the search box option to search for the stop using the bus stop code.

My standard usage pattern when I arrive at a stop that is not part of my commute to/from home/work (and hence not in my favorites) is to look up the code on the sign and enter it. I believe its one of the biggest use cases of any public transport app, you arrive at a bus stop or train station and you want to know how long until the bus or train you want will arrive which is why I think having it displayed in the favorites section would be so useful. Adding it there does not change the design choices behind the favorites section neither does it affect the way departures are selected in the departures section. I simply cannot see the drawback of adding it there besides the fear that it may not accurately detect the stop that is closest to you but like I've said I've found the detection to be accurate and if the user finds it is not accurate in their usage they can always remove it from their favorites..

Totally agree about train stations. It's not feasible as its impossible to detect which platform you are on and display the schedule for the train on that platform. Even if you could detect the platform multiple train lines could use that platform so it's still not possible. But with buses it works and it's usage in other apps is proof of that.

A side minor suggestion. Can the side navigation menu be made accessible by sliding out from left like in Apps like YouTube, hangouts, beautiful widgets, AntTek Explorer etc
[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
Your argument is convincing -- I am sold. I will try to add it in the next update. :)

I have this off because the app uses scrollable tabs heavily and the "swype horizontally" gesture is used there. I will try turning it on and see if it's usable or not.
[Android Apps and Games] am11:
Excellent I look forward to it
[Android Apps and Games] am11:
Does anyone know where Google get's departure data from. They seem to have departure times for train stations that apps like TubeRun and CityMapper do not have departures for
[Android Apps and Games] papajohn:
My guess is that they use static timetable data for every stop. The are public but not in an easily accessible format (lat time that i checked).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holgalee:
A friend of mine is helping me to get one or two screen protectors from Korea for my Note.

I've tried before the SGP/Steinheil Ultra Crystal and Ultra Oleophobic, and think they are quite good. But there are many more Korean brands that are not sold elsewhere, so I wonder if you can recommend me some high quality screen protectors with as many of the following features as possible:

glare reduction

anti-fingerprint

easy cleaning

scratch resistance

easy application (without liquids or sprays)

no loss of colour & sharpness

shatter proof or resistance

no known negative effect on stylus

I need the protector to reduce glare (from lights, reflections from windows) as I do a lot of reading and net surfing when I commute. Some matte screen protectors are really dreadful as they make everything look pixelated and blurry, so although I prefer one that reduces glare, it should not compromise the quality of the screen. I've seen ads for screen protectors that are 0.4mm--0.46mm, and I'm concerned about their effect on the stylus.

Lastly, I'm also hoping to try "coloured" screen protectors; one of those with coloured borders, e.g. white or pink. I've looked at brands like SkinX, Patternbreaker Blacklabel Flexible Tempered Glass, Dreamplus Kenneth Innocent Fine Film and Glasszone, and I'm torn as they all look really great. Has anyone had experiences with them, or know where I can find blogs with reviews?

If you can point me to some reviews, or even the Korean words I should be searching Google with, that will be most fantastic! Thanks in advance! :p

Hi guys!

I rooted my tf101 2 days ago because a would like to run gameloft games.

Everybody sad that i need to replace the product.model for example to A500 or GT-P1000 or XOOM. But it hasnt worked. So i replaced the full build.prop to the Xoom's, and the transformer hasnt started since then. Its just loading the grey Asus logo forever. I dont know what should i do, please help !!!!!!!!!!!

Did you do a nandroid backup?

Did you save a copy of the build.prop? If you did, use ADB to push it back to your tablet

Yes i saved the original build.prop, but into the tablet's download folder. So i cant get it. A tried to hard reset but it stops at the same point (the grey asus logo).

And how should i get a new build.prop?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] danis2142:
windows

and windows does not support it because the tablet can turn on
[Eee Pad Transformer General] baseballfanz:
See if you can ADB pull the build.prop or see if someone can post one (are you on stock ROM?).

You could also try manually flash the latest firmware from ASUS

Here are your options. Try in this order. Look up and properly research how to do each solution.

1. Adb

2. Download firmware from Asus and flash.

4. RMA

If not try setting up ADB somehow. In certain situation ADB can still work even on the stuck Eee Pad screen.

Post your serial # to see if it's NVFlash compatible.

If all above failed, RMA.:D

Guys, thanks a lot for the help, but all failed. I have tried everything u have said but fail.

Now I am at RMA, only one more question: I pressed Power and Volume down buttons, and set hard reset. The questions is that did it delete the root, so wont asus recognize that i rooted it ?

A factory reset only delete users data. It doesn't alter the os in anyway. If your tf is stuck there's no way for Asus to tell of it's been rooted. They'll probably just flash the latest OS onto it.:D

So then copy all the contacts into one account

I used to have a similar problem with contacts stored on my sim card and contact in my google account. Multiple numbers would show up for the same person in texting and the dialer.
