I have the energy rom installed and when I open MMTaskManager 1.2.100320 It says the available memory and the total memory (the total says 447m ...only) What is wrong here ?
[HD2 General] inf3rno1:
I noticed the same thing.. thought we had like 512mb of ram..? with 1gb of rom
[HD2 General] ruinertt:
Actually, the US version has 576MB of RAM.
[HD2 General] erebusting:
So, is the rest of the ram being reserved/blocked ? or is it just not being reported ? in other words is it all available? What tool can we use to check besides this app ?
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
I believe the rest are dedicated RAM for GPU.
[HD2 General] erebusting:
source/proof ?
[HD2 General] t69broken:
agree

I can confirm with the system mem manager. Wondering if they did like they did with the HD2 Euro, which only had about that amount to start off.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
go look at hardware info instead of system.

settings tab -about phone - hardware info. should show 576 there.
[HD2 General] t69broken:
That may show what is built in, and correct me if I'm wrong, but the phone isn't using all of that.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
htc said that 128 of ram reserved for gpu acceleration , so no more argument on this please every htc phone has a part of its ram for gpu ,look at the history of htc devices and use search function,don't brlieve me ask them by your self:)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
correct, you are wrong.

when I got mine (non us) it showed 448 in hardware and 320 system. so 128 reserved for graphics.

I applied the memory unlock tweak and now it shows 576 hardware and 448 system' so 128 still reserved for graphics.

yours will also show 576 hardware and 448 system, because 128 reserved for....... you guessed it........ graphics.

Looking for turn by turn directions to replace my TomTom. It seems the only option is CoPilot Live?

Anyone seen a working version of iGO My way for Android? Used to have on WinMo and was pretty good. Their site shows lots of details but nowhere to buy (search on google for 'android iGO' and it's the first listing - I can't post URL's yet).
[Desire General] Zappza:
Navigon, Sygic are also options you might want to look at.

Currently using Sygic, but it does not have support for nordic characters æøå, so it makes address typing kinda stupid.
[Desire General] Karolis:
Also try NDrive -- I really liked it.
[Desire General] pilgrim_uk:
Nice - more choices than I realised! Anyone have 1st hand experience of them in the UK, i.e. are the post codes up to date?
[Desire General] Karolis:
I've played with CoPilot and NDrive -- both worked fine and I found postcodes that I needed. However, I only made one or two trips with each app.
[Desire General] JTHM:
....with GPRS Traffic updates?

Is it only Copilot that supports traffic updates over GPRS?

I find these absolutely necessary in the UK, though Copilot 7 on my THD handles rerouting very poorly indeed and puts me off the software. Is it improved in Copilot 8?
[Desire General] nubbin:
I have Sygic Mobile 10 and Copilot 8 on my Deisre. Both work extremely well. Of the two, I refer Sygic, as the interface is much more TomTom -like, (i.e. virtually identical) and therefore extremely user-friendly.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Try downloading the patched google maps and try out Google Maps Navigation before you actually buy any GPS software.
[Desire General] gogol:
nubbin, please if you can give some reviews:

- Which one is the fastest for getting satellite lock?

- How about re-routing? Which one is better?

- Is there any GPS lag? The map direction is bit behind the actual situation

Thanks.
[Desire General] nubbin:
I'll review them as soon as I've had a chance to play properly - I only got my phone yesterday afternoon! :D

I'm just trying the GPS lock - I noticed this morning that it didn't get a fix at all on my drive to work, but from my desk at work it hooks up to GPS satellites almost immediately from "warm". and takes about 20 seconds from cold - much better than my Diamond2, and very quick!

The display is superb, and big enough to look like a dedicated SatNav. I haven't got a car cradle at the moment so I haven't been able to safely assess the accuracy and scrolling speed of the maps, but I imagine with a 1Ghz processor it will be very good. I'll let you know. Personally I prefer Sygic for the user interface.
[Desire General] martoto:
I have tried almost all of the turn-by-turn navigation soft for Android and ended up with buying a cheap PNA with WinCE and installing iGO on it. iGO for Android still is not official and cannot be bought. If there aren’t very higher requirements (just navigate me from point A to B), almost all of them will do the work. But as soon as you want something specific, you’ll find out no one can match anything more than simple navigation, which Google soon will offer for free everywhere. Probably, I would choose CoPilot if it wasn’t so buggy and if ALK support wasn’t so awful. However, despite the fact I don't test it in a real situation (because of the lack of functionality), Navigon looks as quality made soft and I like its Android integration. It has 30 days trial and at least cost nothing trying it.
[Desire General] jonneymendoza:
When will tom tom release an android version?
[Desire General] pilgrim_uk:
Thanks all, good info so far - keep it coming! Nubbin, let us know how you get on trying it out, Sygic looks pretty good.

Somone mentioned Google Maps but my understanding was that it didn't offer turn by turn directions in the UK? I was thinking that having the maps stored locally on the device would also help reduce amount of data sent over the air but this may be negligible?
[Desire General] simc1978:
I quite like waze, the spoken instructions seem better than google navigation but perhaps that is because google isn't properly supported yet.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
There's a patched version somewhere on XDA which allows navigation in the UK/Europe. Search for it, should be in the G1 forum.
[Desire General] JTHM:
iGO on Android

iGO on my THD is by far my favourite SatNav despite it not having Traffic Updates in the UK. I asked the question about iGO My way 8 for Android on PocketGPSWorld a few days ago. MaFt was able to provide an answer. Apparently Navngo (which is a Hungarian company) is only providing "white label" Android software to OEMs, thus Samsung can install it on the Galaxy Spica and probably where it's been lifted from to be made available to the community via illegitimate routes. Though there are other methods of getting software sold to Android owners, as proven by Sygic, PGPSW surmise that their chief reason for not making it available is that Google ban apps in Android Market from East European countries. :confused:

I wrote to Navngo but typically didn't get a response (I NEVER do!) and I also wrote to HTC about whether in the absence of their SatNav partner, TomTom, on the Android platform they'd consider providing iGO instead. I did get a timely response from them but it was utterly useless ...a stock reply saying they cannot provide support for this third part application ...DUH!! That wasn't the question I asked!! :mad:

Anyhow, reading comments about iGO My way 8 on the N1 it seems that, though it runs, the GUI has only been formatted for the Galaxy Spica's 320x480 resolution and so only appears in the top corner. My recollection is that this was the case on the THD too before the theme developers got hold of it and reformatted it. Not too long later Navngo released it for the THD looking exactly the same as the developers work.

...iGO still doesn't have traffic updates in the UK(*) though - and they wouldn't reply to the email I sent them about that either!

*iGO only accepts traffic updates via RDS-TMC (no GPRS) and RDS-TMC in the UK is an encrypted, OEM subscription only service thus it's only available to TomTom owners and OEM fit in-vehicle SatNavs, and isn't received by HTC's on-board FM radios either so requires an external receiver (i.e. RoyalTek). RDS-TMC is free and freely available in Europe. I daren't suggest to HTC that they provide support for it in future - I don't know what response I'll get!! :rolleyes:
[Desire General] nubbin:
Had a bit of a drive with the phone stuck in the cup holder. Used Sygic and CoPilot and both worked extremely well. No visible lag to either, and very nice smooth scrolling of the maps. in fact the little blue pointer was spot on even at higher speeds. Clearly the fast CPU in the Desire works well in making the map refresh. The maps are very clear and easy to read. If anything it works better than a dedicated PNA such as a TomTom.

I really need a proper car cradle now. Any ideas, anyone?
[Desire General] martoto:
Thanks for that info! I really didn’t know that iGO does not support TMC in UK and I was regretting about recent PNA buy, because it has not a TMC receiver. Even I considered changing it for that. :)

Anyway, I have tried “leaked” version on my current device and since it has 320x480 screen there is not a problem with resolution. But actually I weren’t very impressed from iGO for Android. It requires a huge amount of free internal memory and with Qualcomm 512MHz it was very, very sluggish. In addition this is the “My Way” version, which is not so features rich as 8.3.x.

However, iGO for WinCE/WM remains the best Sat Nav solution in my opinion. It's much better than garmin, tom-tom, navigon, ndrive, sygic and all others, in terms of features, customization, speed, interface, reliability, speed cameras alerts and routing. I'm still hoping that they are going to improve the Android version as well, because I prefer not to carry different devices for every single task :)
[Desire General] sh500:
Another user on the forum said he did exactly that; contact the company and they 'transferred' the license.
[Desire General] jannen:
no...

No you cant transfer it... I contacted ALK who do the Copilot 8 and asked if could get a download for Android for free or with discount. But it was a 'no' - they dont do that. Ive had Copilot 8 on my Compatc IV for 1,5 yrs...

But then its only £25 for a full UK/Ire license. Not too bad.
[Desire General] zippyioa:
I bought Copilot for the whole of Europe in August 2009 when I bought my HTC Hero.

I finally took the plunge with a Desire yesterday on the £10 per month T-Mobile deal. The only problem I have so far (other than waiting for the network unlock code from HTCCode) is that the Copilot app doesnt show up in my Market.

As such, I can't find a way to install Copilot on my Desire. Any ideas?

Zippyioa
[Desire General] jannen:
On Desire you just go to the Market and search for Copilot and it comes with 4 versions... the UK Ire is just £23.47 - comes with 10 day trial.
[Desire General] zippyioa:
Hi Jannen,

I did that already. I searched for copilot and got a result saying: "There are no matches in Andorid Market for the search: copilot"

I tried searching for CoPilot, ALK and Navigation - but nothing brings it up! :(

Zippyioa

UPDATE - Ok, I just put in the T-Mobile SIM (the phone is on T-Mobile, but as I will be using a Vodafone one I have been setting it up using WiFi to avoid getting all the T-Mobile settings). As soon as used the T-Mobile SIM it found CoPilot in the Market! I'm not sure why it didn't work without the SIM card! Oh well, it works now, thanks for your help anyway!!
[Desire General] nubbin:
I had the same problem, and I e-mailed CoPilot - and they sent me a link to download the map for use on Android, and instructions on how to make the change - all free of charge! So I would get back on to them as there seems to be some disagreement depending on who you speak to. Besides, there isn't a CoPilot 8 map of just UK/Ireland for Android on their site - you have to buy the Europe map which is £70.
[Desire General] zomig:
I hav now tried all 3 of the sat nav packages on my Desire

1. Co Pilot Live

2. Sygis v9 (v10 too slow and buggy)

3. Google Nav Modified to work by Brut on this forum.

I wouldn't say that there is a best out of all 3, they all seem to use different routing techniques, I like the option in google where you can search for a place and then click "Navigate To" very useful. Sygis is pretty easy to use and i beleive v10 has traffic on it although it this version ran very slow on my device. V9 works without any issues. I also got round to trying copilot live, this worked well, I am not a great fan of copilot as again they seem to route different to all others but then if you dont know where you are going it will still get you there which is the main thing.

Overall if google eventually releases their app then this will wipe the floor with the others as it also has a neat feature where you can zoom into street level and actually see the streets where you are driving (photo view). Its a shame they can get that to work on the turn by turn but that would asking a lot.
[Desire General] paulruk:
You could try a backup on your htc hero of your apps. THink that`ll create an apk for the co-pilot software. Then transfer it to the desire. Might work.

The one from the storage card is being excluded but not the one in My Docs.

[Nexus One General] DrZEUS:
I am coming from owning a Rogers HTC Magic running stock Rogers ROM (1.5) with 911 update.

Just picked up an N1 the other day and although it's a great unit, there are some minor annoyances that are starting to get to me.

One is the native text messaging app. Now, I am a real estate agent so I receive a lot of text messages from my office. With my Magic and any other phone for that matter, these text messages would appear as "7000" as the sender name/number for example as these messages are sent through a computer via the internet. It's very similar when you receive a text from your carrier wherein it's not coming from another phone, and it's typically shown as a number as indicated above.

The problem is that this number no longer appears as the sender name/number. Instead, the sender name/number shows up as the first word in the body of the text. This may seem trivial, however, what happens now is that all the text messages I am receiving from my office are no longer grouped under "7000" for example. Instead, text messages appear as a separate thread (sender).

For example....if my office were to send a fictitious text that reads "this is a test text message", this is how it should and used to look:

7000: this is a test text message

With my N1, this is how it appears now:

this: is a test text message

The only way it will display the proper name/number in the sender field is when the text comes from an actual cell phone.

I have tried another text messaging app like Handcent and the exact same thing happens. Brutal.

[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
Wild shot, have you tried saving a contact with the phone number "7000"?
[Nexus One General] DrZEUS:
The first thing I did was try to make a contact with the name "7000" but that didnt work. For some reason the text app does not compute the sender name unless it's an actual phone number or contact.

supergodie thanks for the link....looks like im not the only one...too bad that thread was started back in February and still no fix. Hope it doesnt take too long as I would hate for such a small detail to be a deal breaker for me.

The other annoyance I have is that the native mail app does not have an option for signatures! It also does not allow you to copy text like my Magic did with a long press on the screen and a menu popping up asking to you select text. You would think such "small things" would be an afterthought and not something that should be missed or left out...such basic things...it boggles my mind.
[Nexus One General] DrZEUS:
btw supergodie, have you found any workaround for this?

handcent as I have reported does the same thing...I think its because the app works off the native mail app....whatever the case, the problem still exists with handcent.

perhaps another sms app that works?

In start->settings->personal there is an option for button assignment. I want to change a long press hard key ( any of them) to bring up the keyboard.

I tried several but couldn't find it. Do you know which one it is?
[HD2 General] ikomu:
I'd like to make back button as X to close applications or programs ;)

is there any chance for that???
[HD2 General] felixdd:
The only button that can be modified is the call button. The only functionality that can be added is allowing it to execute an executable by holding down the call button.

What you do is you create a shortcut called "long_send.lnk" and put it into the \windows\ directory. Whatever the shortcut is directed towards, a long-press of the send key will trigger that programs.

Many users have made simple executables that rotate the screen, generate an alt-tab-like screen, or other task managers. By allowing long_send.lnk to those programs, in effect that button can be used to rotate the screen, etc (which is what I've done).

Someone is programming program to translate multi-touch gesture into running shortcuts. That will hopefully in effect replace our lack of hardware buttons, so we can trigger behaviors on our phones by gesturing rather than pressing buttons.

You shouldn't use this method. The link is also triggered by pressing the call button when you want to answer a call (not a long hold - just a press). It doesn't answer the call either - just does the long_send shortcut.
[Touch HD General] somedayscratch:
I have a variety of issues with the Windows Mobile calendar. I tried some of the others that are available but stuck with the original because it was the only one that would show the names of my clients in a weekly view. If anyone is aware of others that will do this let me know.

It seems like when I first got my phone that I could alter repeating appointments and it would apply the changes to all appointments after the change but would leave the preceding appointments alone. This has stopped and I can update a single appointment in a series but any changes done to all the appointments in the series change the previous appointments now.

I have also experienced a problem after the change to British Summertime. All of my repeating appointments are now an hour later than they should be and I cannot find a way to change them without stopping the series and re-entering the appointment. There must be a better way!

It seems like there was another issue but it is late and my brain is dead. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
