1. There are apps for skype(not too many good ones) a descent one I use is "fring".

2.There are lots of RDP and VNC apps to control/view your pc from your phone

From what I know no, but I could be wrong

Personally I like Droid Phones better then Win Mobile ones. I can't seem to put my Droid phone down. I am always tweaking or messing with new apps(and I only have a mytouch). Plus with the new Google navigation who needs Garmin? :) Also if your not wanting to get a droid phone because of it not fully supporting skype, and it not having garmin(which I don't really like) then your missing out!

You won't be able to run PC-program on android because it's a different platform (PC == x86, x86_64; android phones== arm ). You'll have to compile them for arm. General speaking it's possible to port apps. But you'll have to change some stuff.

I come from Windows Mobile, so I might shed some light...

There are a few Offline Maps apps... For example, Maverick... it has very good ratings. There are others too.

About MyMobiler... It's great... you can check this out, it's similar...

By the way, I like my Android better than my WM. I own a Cliq, and I must say that I love it. Waiting for the custom ROMs.

:cool:
[Android Apps and Games] hgrimberg:
Thank you for the responses.

I was intersted in being able to view my phone from my PC, actually.

The thing of not having offline maps is a big issue. Usually if you need a map, most likely you are in the middle of nowhere without 3G signal...

Maverick... Does that support Garmin maps?

Thank you!

There is also a program called Nimbuzz which recently got updated and allows making VOIP calls over Skype.
[Android Apps and Games] tatnai:
there are tons of offline mapping programs. Motonav, NDrive, Co-Pilot, and Papago x5 to name a few.
[Android Apps and Games] hybridb:
Maverick caches maps you've already viewed for later offline use. they also have a guide about using some software to save google maps/bing maps/open street maps, which you can check here. http://www.trekbuddy.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=464&start=545

The other apps mentioned above use their own "real" offline maps.

But from what you're asking I assume you already have a Garmin map purchased that you're looking to use on Android? Then I would recommend looking at what kind of maps these apps use and maybe finding a way to convert your map to be compatible with one of those apps.

As for Skype then yes there's a "lite" official version out there but it's far from great. Nimbuzz has been my favorite so far. Also, you can always look into using Google Voice as an alternative, it integrates nicely with the OS.
[Android Apps and Games] sebr1ng:
Is there any word that Garmin will develop an app for Android (like Garmin Mobile XT for WM)?

I use my phone as a navigation often and no other map providers cover my area (Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia,...) as good as Garmin does. I'll change from my HTC HD to an Android device when they do it...

There's already a Garmin app for Android, but it can only be used on Garmin's own Android phone, the Garminfone. If they put it in the market and sold it separately, no one would buy the Garminfone, so they aren't likely to do that at least for a while.

Since this thread started, Garminfone (aka Nuvifone A50) has been released. As well as the A10 in Europe.

I own it (Garminfone). Coming from

Blackberry I am very impressed. It is only 1.6 Android, but they customized it with pinch-zoom etc.

The maping in North America & Europe is exceptional (I have both).

I can confirm it can be rooted, I've already done mine. I am having trouble getting SuperUser status though (newbie).

HTC's built in navigator with offline maps

In latest Android issue (the one with Sense for HTC Desire HD) there is a built in GPS Navigator that caches most used map on your SD, so that you don't need to connect to the internet all the time.

May be the solution for many of you. Check out the port to HD2 (20/09/2010) on this forum if interested.

Cheers.

Hi, there are GPS maps of Argentine only for Mapdroid (without navigation) and NDrive (you must pay for it).

NDrive 10 is nice, but I noticed some problems with the maps, nothing important but Garmin maps are better than NDrive for Argentina.

Is it possible to install the onmia os on our topaz?

i really like the home screen and the drag and drop apps
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] PMoto:
There isn't such thing.

The Omnia OS is Windows Mobile, just like T.Diamond2.

Are you talking about the new OMNIA (the one without WM?) - It's a proprietary OS, so no way to have it in HTC phones.

Anyway, you better try SBP Mobile Shell:

I use PimBackup in Winmo. Is there a way to easily port over contacts? Now that Android is bootable I want to give it a shot.
[Touch CDMA General] MrDJ:
My suggestion is in Winmo set up google sync. It interfaces as a activesync exchange connection.

When you boot into android, login with your gmail, your contacts automatically download.

Hope this helps

[Touch CDMA General] jamezelle:
go back to win mobile pim your contacts back to your phone then follow this guide http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.html#p=winmo
[Touch CDMA General] drkow19:
I did this without using any data. Using ActiveSync transfer WinMo contacts to your Outlook. Export those contacts to a .csv file, then import that to Gmail. Not having a Gmail account is not an excuse anymore! With Gmail you can easily edit and organize those contacts, then export a .vcf file.

Download Android app called "VCardIO" it doesn't work with 2.0.1 but worked with everything prior for me (1.1, 1.5, 1.6). It's freeware.

Put contacts.vcf to the root of your SD card, open VCardIO and press Import From.

Now that it doesn't work, does anyone have an .apk that will do this and works with 2.0.1?
[Touch CDMA General] BoboBrazil:
thanks for the responses, i used jamezelle's method and setup a gmail account, it works great:)

Try sprite Migrate. You back up your win-mo contacts using a sprite migrate on your ppc. Then you convert it on your desktop to a android usable file(.smf).

These Qs probably have been answered many times, but my searches did not return meaningful answers :(

I'm running stock ROM and do not want to change at the moment until Sprint ships WM 6.5. SO I have 3 issues that have been bugging me big time:

1) How do you force applications to use WiFi? The only way I can make it work is to disable the Phone in Communications tab. There must be a way to do it w/o flashing a new ROM, right?

2) I always thought having a sliding screen lock is a matter of finding the right setting. Well not really. I know and tried the free program called S2U2. However I did not like the interaction it had with the phone and my hands free. Things were slower and the additional layer did not add to better user experience. So is there a way to get the sliding screen lock on this phone w/o flashing non-stock ROM?

3) The call answer slider. Who came up with this? The split nature of that slider bar puts your chances of successfully answering a call at 50/50. I like my chances better with the old style on my original TP. Any way to get that back w/o flashing a new ROM?

Pardon these simple questions, folks, but the have been nagging me for weeks now.

RAPH110 not working

I had tried it two days ago with kernel 2009-12-13 and the original files and got freeze at the setup screen on my RAPH110.

Procedure was as depicted and after deleting data.img.

At the top of the frozen screen there was the "no network" sign and I did not get the usual sounds of GSM network handshake in my loudspeakers so the hang seems to be in really early stage. That was weird enough to mention because on donut the radio turns on before the GUI comes up.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] babijoee:
It could be Android initializing hardware that our kernel does not yet support. All i can think of is GPS and camera. But i'm going to stick with GPS for the time being. As data connections can be disabled and other hardware is at a functional stage.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Android Development] Razzee:
my device is resetting at the android splashscreen, I had one time where I've seen the setup page. but then freeze and reset...

I don't know if its a problem but my diamond isn't detected in this build, it's detecting a vogue. So probably its loading false drivers?

the recognition is in the rootfs

It looks like the last sequence of actions were to find out there is no google account set up, with the reaction to call the Intent googlelogin with LOGIN_ACCOUNTS_MISSING. I guess the right reaction to that would be to request for login data.

Not that does not seem very hardware dependent to me so I'd rather bet the the freeze is due to something initiated earlier, maybe "Starting BluetoothHeadsetService". Looking at what happens in that process (pid=210) this looks like a weird path:
