Have you guys noticed how there is dust built-up inside the gap between screen and chassis? Also my ear membrane is getting dirtier every day. How do you guys clean that thing? Using microfiber just pushes the dust further in. Any recommendations?
[HD2 General] novaci:
You could try giving it a blast of compressed air.
[HD2 General] BigT:
Or try using a vacuum cleaner for keyboards.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
How about a piece of blutack to pick the dust off/out?
[HD2 General] Owendavies:
I've got some Cyberclean for my keyboard that l'll use if it gets too bad :)

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] przemhb:
Hi!

Every app I install on storage card either immediately or after a few minutes don't start.

I took a look into Storage card\Program files right after installing some app and there were no folders at all (although I set File Explorer to display all files). Surprisingly the app started.

Just a few minutes later I tried to start the app again, but it did not start. Even it's icon was replaced by a default icon used for programs.

The same happens for every app I install on storage card.

What is happening? How to fix it?

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] przemhb:
The problem was Program files folder was crosslinked.

I repaired it with CHKDSK.

Something that has probably been discussed before:

Is there an app that enables you to customize the WM6.5 start menu without having to move around .lnk files in \Windows\Start Menu via File Explorer?

Hi @ll!

I recently released version 1.2 of my latest App "Next2Me" to the US Windows Marketplace.

Next2Me uses GPS and shows you all available businesses around you from over 30 categories. You can view the results on a map, show detailed information. You can also call the target business, send the detail information to your friends by Mail or SMS or save the business to your contact list all by only one click!

And here is the latest BETA version of the upcoming Next2Me 1.3.

[UPDATE]

You can now manually choose between miles and meters. And for all US and Candians, Next2Me is now searching for "Gas stations" ;)

[UPDATE]

I changed the GPS code a bit because some users get an exception on some devices.

[UPDATE]

Again changed the GPS device detection.

[UPDATE 04/25/2010]

o RC1 released

o Next2Me languages: DE, EN, FR, NL

o A menu to tell Next2Me how to search for your GPS device (this will solve several issues, like the exception told by some users and the unwanted bluetooth dialog which is automatically poping up)

[UPDATE 04/27/2010]

o Next2Me now in IT (thanks to Spyrale)

o Beautiful new High-Res Icons for the menu (thanks to Saumaun)

o Limit the search radius (250m, 500m, 1000m, 1500m, all)

[UPDATE 04/28/2010]

o Fixed a language bug for the italian version

[UPDATE 05/01/2010]

o Updated language strings for NL, FR and IT

If there aren't any more suggestions or bugs, this version will be send to the Marketplace

So, have fun with Next2Me and send me your suggestions, critics, etc.

C YA @LL!

Any non-marketplace download

Is this available anywhere besides the MS Marketplace? I don't want to have to install this to my internal memory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bugsykoosh:
I like the app: http://www.fuzemobility.com/learn-whats-next2me/

Any thoughts of using Google Location instead of GPS to speed things up? also, I don't see a way to email a location- just to SMS. Am I missing it? If it could pull the Google info that would be nice as well (such as type of restaurant, rating, etc). Overall I do like it though. Good luck with the project!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acc49ers:
great app so far but sometimes you cant get a gps fix or it can take awhile. would it be possible to use google location or Sleuth's myLocation Service here? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=607102. These might work better and they will almost always work and are much quicker than a gps fix.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
Looks interesting. But please, could you kindly post it somewhere else than on the Marketplace.

No way I will go to the MarketPlace. I do not want to download any cab on the internal memory.

Thanks ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aqrab:
yeah same here

please upload it somewhere else
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] steve76063:
From what I've seen, this app has a lot of promise, but I have had a problem...

On my Tilt2, whenever I look for something with Next2Me, I get a message "Invalid GPS Signal..." or "No GPS Device found.". But, if I start up Google Maps first, and let it get my GPS position and then start up Next2Me, it works just fine. Any thoughts/suggestions?

Also, if it could toggle between km and miles, it'd help for us Americans who won't join the rest of the world in using km's :rolleyes:

One more suggestion for future updates...if we could set the # of hits returned or better yet, if we could specify a 'radius' to search it'd make the app even more user friendly.

Thanks for the work and keep it up:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
Hi @ll

Thanks for your critics and suggestions. So here we go:

Hm, that's a GPS-Problem under Windows. You can use QuickGPS to improve the lock-time, but that doesn't always work.

Yeah, I am already aware of the "km/miles"-Bug ;) ... this will be fixed in the next version, of course.

Your suggestion with the amount of hits returned or the search radius is very good and will be proofed.

Yeah, that would be a solution to use the location service using the Google Location. I can implement support for the myLocation service of Sleuth, but I would prefer to implement the location service into Next2Me, so that there is no need for the user to install another application to use Next2Me. Are there any specifications or source code snippets how to use the Google Location service under Windows Mobile?

Next2Me checks your Mobile Outlook on you cell phone, if there's an E-Mail account available. This e-mail account will be used to send the email with the location service. The button for sending an e-mail will only be shown if there's an email account set up in your Windows Mobile.

Hope this helps!

im using the Next2Me form the first day it has been released in marketplace

i think its 1.0

works great in my hd2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
Good to hear that ... I don't know the exact cause of the problem, but strangewise the GPS-Stream is on most of the HD2 different to rest of the world's mobile phones ... and on some not, like yours.

Hey it crash on my Omnia (I900) and you have the version 1.2 out is this right?

Greets from Germany (NRW)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
Not really ... it's currently available as BETA version. You can download it from the first post. Did Next2Me crash with version 1.1 or earlier? I want to test it with as much cell phones as possible, so please write me if you have any errors with Next2Me.

Additional info: Next2Me 1.2 BETA also supports location using the GSM network. So, it also works with cell phones without GPS module.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noellenchris:
Love the new version, Fast, nice GUI and great info! Thanks for this very useful app!:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
LoL I restart the Omnia and now it works good (Version 1.2).

But how can we add content?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
What do you mean with that? Do you want to add your own categories and search criterias? This is not possible currently. I am thinking about implementing it, but currently it's not possible. This BETA version is for testing it with as much as possible cell phones, to be sure position detection is working on every phone.

C YA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ubcjack:
Tested on tmobile touch pro 2 and works very well on cell tower location. Haven't tried on GPS.

However, the result for gas station is way off, reporting station like 700KM away from current location. Other services seem fine.

Besides, is it possible to change units? Or show current gas price?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zepiii:
Working really nice on my HD2 ! Congratulations man ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] arturobandini:
Nekronomekron,

This is a very nice program :)

But please is it be possible not to have this IPhone interface.

Many thanks :)

Excellent app

Very nice app. I thought I was done with navigation apps between ATT Navigator, GoogleMaps and Bing - but this is incredibly helpful.

I noticed after flashing my newest Deep Shining ROM (X4 which is amazing) - Marketplace wouldn't reinstall the app. Thanks to your cab on Post 1 I can reinstall - but maybe something to check on your end? (13 of my other 14 apps downloaded from Marketplace installed ok).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Isadora:
very nice but I'm getting some weird results...for instance "police" doesn't show my local station (about 200 yards away) but shows the ones further away as well as some random stuff like the Financial services Authority and some counselling services, "airport" displays not only the local airport (London City) but a whole bunch of car services and hotels with the name airport in them. It's a same for many of the other categories. The funny prize goes to "post office", there's one just down the road (and quite a few a bit further out) but it's only showing me stuff in Prineville(?), 7967km away!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
Hm, strange. Don't know how to solve it, because no app can affect or control the installation process. And Next2Me uses the official CAB installation method, so nothing special here.

Wow.. that's crazy. I also don't know how to solve this special problem, because Next2Me is using the Google Local Search API. And if Google sends me those results ... what should I do? Is your position located correctly? You can test this by opening one of the found entries and have a look at the map. The "A" on the map, that should be you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
I just released Next2Me 1.2 Beta 2. For download and changelog, have look at the first post.

C YA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Isadora:
It is weird isn't it :D and yes I know it's nothing to do with you, just made me laugh to be honest. And yes, my position is correct on the map. I'll grab some screenshots and upload them in a few minutes.

edit: ok, screenshots, the first one shows me as A (the location is accurate enough, it's out by about 100 yards or so) on the map and B is the Indian restaurant down the road, the second is the list of "local" post offices it's giving me... maybe a bit far to go to post a letter :eek: :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Esmoreit:
I experiencing the same problem. I live in the Netherlands and I only recieve data from postoffices in the US (about 8000 km away)!

Also in the Hague (where I live) not always the most nearby location for a category is shown. But perhaps this has to do with the locations that are registered by Google!? :confused:

Nevertheless, it is a great application. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hoopsta1423:
Great app, much more helpful in finding local stuff than google maps

anyway of displaying more than 8 results?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
The problem could be, that Next2Me is currently only localized in german and english. So, if your Windows Mobile language setting is other than german, it will use english for sending the search requests to Google.

The solution would be to translate the string resources from Next2Me to dutch, french, etc... If you would like to help me to do so, I can send you the resource file for translation ;), but this could result in more accurate results in your area.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Isadora:
I live in the UK and my phone language is English... It looks like Google gets itself confused somewhere:p. If I use google maps and search for "post office", it correctly finds the small local one
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
I think there are some good news for you ;) ... have a look at the attached screenshot. If this is what you want, re-download the CAB from the first post and try again. You should now get better results.

anyway of displaying more than 8 results?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] patanello:
really great app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
Currently not ... Google only returns 8 results ... to have more results, you would need more internet requests which would take too much time ... perhaps in the next version
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
Hey ho!

I have just rewritten the complete GPS detection part. It should work now with all devices and should be 2 times faster than before. Can you please test it and tell me your results? I am very interessted in Toshiba and Omnia test results.

THX!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] missparker76:
Hi Nekronomekron,

Thanks for this nice application.

I have installed the latest version on my HD2 and have the same problem mentioned by other people. The results suggested for some categories are not relevant at all.

My position (A) is correct and when I search on the web in Google Maps the results are more relevant so I do not think that the problem comes from GoogleMaps.

You proposed to translate the string resouces in different languages to fix this.

I would be happy to help you doing that in French :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
Hi,

that's exactly the problem i already told: Next2Me is only translated in german and english, so if you are in France, Next2Me automatically uses english words for searching your local area. And that won't work very well in France ;) ... it would be great if you can help me translating Next2Me in french. If you want so, I can send you the resource file for translation.

THX
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] peterkef:
I'm happy to translate this to dutch. It is a great app and I love to use it.

Let me know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] missparker76:
Yes please send me file. Thanks :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] missparker76:
Nekronomekron, I have a question as I am not sure to understand right what you mean by "It now supports location using the GSM network, so Next2Me doesn't need a GPS module from now on.".

Does it mean that it uses GSM network on all phones or that it uses GPS on phones that have GPS included and GSM network on phones that don't have one ? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
Hi,

Next2Me always uses GSM on every phone. If there is an GPS device available, it will also try to locate you using the GPS signals. The location received using GPS has a higher priority than the position received using the GSM technology. So, if you have an device with GPS, you will also be able to use Next2Me inside buildings because Next2Me also locates you using GSM which should be always available.

So, regarding the guys who wants to help me translating Next2Me, you can download the resource file here: http://rapidshare.com/files/363342670/ResourceStrings.xls.html

And thank you in advance!

Some hints for the string names in the resource file:

o Strings named with "POI_{letter}_" is the string used for the group headers in the mainmenu

o Strings named with "POI_{letter}_{name}_NAME" is the string used for entry in the mainmenu

o Strings named with "POI_{letter}_{name}_SEARCHSTRING" is the string used for the Google Local Search

So, hope this helps you translating the resource file.

C YA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] missparker76:
Thanks for that clear explanation ;).

I have attached the translation in French (I have translated everything besides the POI information in case you decide to prepare a French version of your application). You will see that I put suggestions that I found while testing the search in GoogleMaps.

I also noticed a minor bug. When the following message is displayed: "Next2Me was not able to retrieve the requested list of local businesses. Please check your internet connection and try again.", the last line is overlapped by "OK".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
Wow! That was fast ;)! Thanks for that. I just released the latest version of Next2Me in the first post, now also available in french ;). Next2Me now also has a textbox for a free text search in your local area. So you can now search for anything in your area ;).

I also went through the issues you pointed out in your Excel sheet. Bank and ATM are now 2 search categories. I also reviewed the messages to be sure they are always displayed correctly.

Have fun with Next2Me ;)!

C YA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Hey can you write the date when you upload an update in the first post?

Like an updatelog with date.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
Done that ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wapvirus:
iGO8 has this built in or similar ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] missparker76:
Thanks Nekro ! You were fast ! :)

I have tested a little the new version and the results are much more relevant now.

Thanks for applying some of my suggestions. The search bar will be very useful.

@wapvirus: all navigation applications have this kind of application built-in but the aim of Next2Me is to avoid having to launch it. Personally I have Navigon and it would take much more time to launch it and search trough it than with Next2Me. You can also call directly the phone number, create a business card etc. And it can also be used inside buildings as explained by Nekro as it can use GSM, unlike GPS applications.

For me these applications are complementary.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kdkinc:
Saw your request for tester Omnia2

I played with it for about 10 minutes WOW!!!!:D:D

Had to get gps fired up with google map before it would kick in to action.

I'm using:

Cooked rom Ninja4sale

Great app Thank You

:cool::cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
Thx ;)

So, if i understand you right, it isn't working without starting Google Map before. Or am i wrong? What i want is, that Next2Me gets a GPS signal on Omnia and Toshiba devices without any third-party-tools like Google Map.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Great, i can also search for a Street!

But were can i switch it to german?

There is the "de" folder in the program folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
What about the idea to change the

"Current Position" button to my Icon?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kdkinc:
OK gotcha....

from a cold start went out side and booted up phone and started Next2me...

success !!! took about 45 seconds for gps to wake up but all is well...

:cool::cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
Thanks for that, but I like it the way it is ;)...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
So it is working with your Omnia without any problems or Third-Party Tools?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dtrieb:
Okay but this remember me on RSS-Feeds ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nekronomekron:
New version uploaded.

Ok, I reworked the signal quality icon ;). I also fixed the localization bug, caused by an bug of the Microsoft CabWiz.exe which builds the CAB file ... a 9 year old bug and I ran into it ...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smudgelab:
Love it so far & get an almost instant lock...two "glitches" so far though, clicking on "ATM" takes me to a local company (who I'd not even heard of to be honest:)) called A T M & doesn't display any of the cash machines, also, my local wimming pool doesn't show up... Great app' though & thank you very much for it. Our company force us to use "shudder" iphones" & the "aroundme" app on those shows you where you are & where your destination is (just like this one). When you start driving it also shows your progress from A to B, will this one to the same? Sat in a office at moment so cannot check this :-(

EDIT - Just had to nip out for a while & can confirm it doesn't do this, would this be a big implementation?
