Thought of something else, upload pictures of places you visit to your profile (either locally or not) and be able to locate it from the map
[Android Apps and Games] LuftWalk:
There is already a way to add profile pictures, but at the moment it can only be done through the website (www.android-town.com).

I will definitely keep the other suggestions in mind though. Thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] lufc:
Nice work good idea will give this a try thanks:)
[Android Apps and Games] enragedpaza:
I cannot log in through the website
[Android Apps and Games] LuftWalk:
Can you send me your username through the PM and I'll check what's wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] mike390:
does the app have to be full screen or does it run in the background?
[Android Apps and Games] jdebunt85:
Just installed it,look neat
[Android Apps and Games] LuftWalk:
@mike390:

the location updating happens only when viewing the map. I'll probably add an option to enable continous updating. The messaging system however works at all times.
[Android Apps and Games] LuftWalk:
An update with quite a few bugfixes published on the market.
[Android Apps and Games] ezeygtr40:
i've installed it. nice looking app, didnt find any issue for now....it just that i feel lonely coz i cant find anyone online lol! probably i'm the only one in Malaysia who's using it :D
[Android Apps and Games] LuftWalk:
1.7 version on the market. Enables the move to SD card feature for Froyo users and fixes some bugs.
[Android Apps and Games] 360nitrous:
something i would like to kno about this app... what do the different colours of droids mean? i kno blue is urself but theres grey, green, red and yellow ...
[Android Apps and Games] LuftWalk:
The colors mark user's last online presence. Green meaning the person is online now. Orange that he was online more than an hour ago, red more than 3 and grey more than 6.
[Android Apps and Games] MacaronyMax:
Just Testing :D
[Android Apps and Games] Spoochy:
Cool application... testing it... found 3 user in same area... nobody was online at the moment.. :)
[Android Apps and Games] marty1976:
Reading this thread I'm almost willing to try this app, but then again...

You know, I'm having problems trusting an application that's packaged as 'kreatorij.bigbrother' and requires quite a lot of permissions...

[EDIT] It's been 2 and a half days now... I thought the creator of this app would answered my question.
[Android Apps and Games] LuftWalk:
Sorry about not answering...thing is I got married this weekend so I was a bit preoccupied.

The package name remained from the early stages when all I was doing with Android was trying to get GPS to work on my phone...I agree...not the best suiting name. The next update brings a new name for the both the app and the package :)

Amongst other things a new update will enable users to upload profile pictures and an avatar through the application and will also give you an option to send files along with messages (as attachments - 5Mb limit for now).

If you have doubts in the app I can assure you that location updating can be turned off and is only tracked on your demand.

EDIT: oh...the update will be here before friday this week.
[Android Apps and Games] LuftWalk:
Ok, Android Town is now an obsolete name and application on the market. It was renamed to Peeples. Peeples is a seperate app on the market so you would need to download that one. It uses the same DB as Android Town so all your information is saved.

Peeples has the added options of:

- uploading profile pictures and avatar through the application

- sending files from SD card with messages as attachments (5Mb limit for now)

Try it out and let me know what you think.
[Android Apps and Games] Nemesii:
You should probably edit the OP back to explaining what the app is regardless of the name change, because it doesn't make a lot of sense if you've never read the thread before (like me)
[Android Apps and Games] LuftWalk:
Thank you for the tip. Edited back.
[Android Apps and Games] freco:
Would be nice if it can use Cell Antenas to get my current location like google maps. So we don't need clear sky to get fix.

Thanks. Nice app. :-)
[Android Apps and Games] LuftWalk:
You can already use cell antennas to get a location fix. Just press menu on the main map screen, select more and then settings. Choose the Location settings tab and there uncheck use GPS if available.

The app will then use cell antennas.
[Android Apps and Games] freco:
Briliant. Thanks.

EDIT. Doesn't seem to work. After about 1 min I can see other users but not myself. With GPS support there is a blue "andro-guy" representing me :-)
[Android Apps and Games] Coucher:
Every time I try to view my inbox I receive an error that says "There was an error while downloading data. Please try again later." This happened under Android Town and now Peeples. This is on a brand new, stock rom Epic 4G. I've uninstalled, reinstalled the app numerous times, logged out, logged back in, no change.

Emailed the developer about a week ago concerning and have received no response.
[Android Apps and Games] LuftWalk:
Sorry for a delayed response, but I was away on vacation (one man teams suffer like that). Can you please send me your username through PM here and I can check if maybe the DB record is somehow corrupted for you.
[Android Apps and Games] Coucher:
Check your PM's.
[Android Apps and Games] curious_yellow_eyes:
Ok, I'm.trying it out. It's running fine so far, no software issues so just a couple of suggestions...

It could use a chatroom or something (not sure how that would work though given the geographical nature of the app) as it seems a little odd just pm-ing people out of the blue. I know there's a forum on the site but its not 'within' the app if you see what I mean? Also, it might help to have a longer inactivity bracket like black for +1 week or something like that, there's a lot of greta but that could range from people who merely haven't signed in today to people who have stopped using it altogether.
[Android Apps and Games] PiTT:
Peeples is getting a major overhaul with a relaunch. Added tons of new features and completely UI change.

We are looking for beta testers to help us find bugs and just test the app in general.

If you are interested please PM me with this information:

your Peeples username, if you haven't signed up yet, please go to the Android Market, install and register: http://goo.gl/VwBcP (if you can give us 5 stars to help out a fellow xda dev, that would be great too =D )

email address

device model

software version

location (city, state, country)

the more beta testers we have, the better. we promise to deliver a great app!

Thanks!

How do you know Swype caused the freezes? I've been using it, without problem, for a year or so. Are you sure the freezes are not being caused by bloatware that you have running on your phone?

[Hero CDMA General] ziggy682:
Alright, like everyone else, I have grown tired of all the complaining about the 2.1 update. Yes, I would love to get my hands on the official update as I feel our 2.1 leak was pretty buggy. The devs have done great with what they have to work with, and I love running 2.1 even with some of the quirks that are inherent to a hacked ROM.

What I don't get is how everyone can be so upset with Sprint. Personally, I am on Sprint because they are cheap, and offer good cell phone service where I live. That's it. If you are upset with your carrier (as I was with my extremely high bills on Verizon) then buy out your contract and go to another carrier. However, don't expect that you will get your magical 2.1 upgrade any sooner with any other carrier.

Do most people realize that there is not a single Android phone for sale in America that has ever been upgraded to 2.1 from 1.5 or 1.6? In fact, there are only three phones that have ever even received an Android OS upgrade at all. The T-Mobile G1 (1.0-1.6), the T-Mobile myTouch 3G (1.5-1.6), and the Motorola Droid (2.0-2.1). That's it people.

For all the people blaming Sprint, HTC, or even Sense for how long it's taking them, look around. The T-Mobile G1 and myTouch3G both came out before the Hero, both run vanilla Andoid, and neither of them have been upgraded to 2.1. Just look at all the phones that are still running 1.5 and 1.6.

Personally, I think it will be hilarious if Sprint is the first carrier in America to upgrade a phone from 1.5 to 2.1. If this upgrade happens soon, this will certainly be the case. I just don't get how people can be so upset that we don't have the official 2.1 yet when there are only three phones that have it (two of which launched with it, and one of which launched with 2.0).

I apologize for making a new thread, but I wanted the chart below to have it's own space, and I didn't want it to get buried in one of the many other 2.1 threads. I believe this chart contains every Android phone available on one of the 4 major carriers in America. I compiled this list using wikipedia, so I didn't verify that it is 100% valid. I listed only phones available in America, and cleaned up the formatting to make it useful. Enjoy.
[Hero CDMA General] DR.mobbfigga:
I Gotta say that no one should be PO'D at Sprint,HTC or any other company for that matter, Sprint is the Best carrier I've been. Quit whining 2.1 will arrive before you all know it. Shut up root your hero while you still can flash a custom 2.1 rom and be happy. i Know im not gonna to upgrade to the official release. Ill wait to one my fav dev's puts out a 2.1 rom based off the otw upgrade with all fat trimmed off so it runs the way it should. So everybody behave your selves the upgrade from sprint will come no doubt, then you can go back to whining about how laggy and buggy your 2.1 hero is.

As for me Im gonna flash toast's new one fresh-toast 1.1, oh maybe something from damageless, oh hey darchstar's got a new one wow decision, decisions, lol:D
[Hero CDMA General] Sawawa:
Thanks for doing this.

This definitively shows that the problem is not with Sprint and that manufacturers seem to have decided that there is no benefit to them whatsoever to supporting existing customers. Google is also failing to get the situation under control.

"Want the latest version of Android? Pay up."

That's what this chart says to me, loud and clear.

I agree that people should stop whining about 2.1, it's more annoying than the 2.1 posts.
[Hero CDMA General] Crash83:
I guess my personal aggravation is the fact that it seems if you don't have the latest and greatest phone through your carrier's catalog you seem to just be cast in the corner. Was it not just 5 months ago the Hero was the savior and pride and joy of sprint's network and now with the evo on its way it's as if were the red headed child sitting in the corner. I agree that when it comes it comes but I just don't like the feel a company gives when they do something like that. Yes market and pay attention to your new toy but don't forget your loyal followers and their needs when we're locked in to at least 12 months with a phone you just called the greatest thing since the last big hit.
[Hero CDMA General] hchavarria:
Its always been the same with every OS and every carrier. I remember being wint Windows same thing, these company make the money in the hardware not software therefore it's no business sense to give a great deal of support for older hardware. The truth of the matter is that for companies like HTC, people will continue to purchase the latest, even after all the waiting on the Hero most people will still go out and get the Evo. The only company making great support is Apple.
[Hero CDMA General] jgert2005:
X2 This is what I think too.
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
sprint still sucks Di** in my opinion, 2.1 or not
[Hero CDMA General] raylusk:
I will tell you why I am upset with sprint over this. It's because sprint in conjunction with HTC and Samsung decided back late last year that instead of doing maintenance updates to fix the known issues with both phones they would upgrade the phones to 2.1 and include the fixes then. This certainly implied some urgency on their part. But apparently none of the companies involved put enough resources into the upgrade. Also this fantasy of doing both phones at the same time tells me they are not interested in getting the updates out as soon as they are available because someone might be upset if one gets done before the other.

I rooted back in Jan and my phone works great. But I also expect when I buy a premium phone that it is supported properly by Sprint and the phone manufactures. If they can't do that then they have failed. I don't care if no other phone has been upgraded to 2.1. Every other carrier in the US has a phone that runs 2.1 yet sprint can't even give us a date to have that option. They have really screwed this up.
[Hero CDMA General] MagnusRagnarok:
Always seems like putting money in a salespersons hand causes them amnesia....

Just think of SPRINT as a REALLY BIG salesperson:D
[Hero CDMA General] raylusk:
Well since I don't go to salespersons who don't in some way look after my interests that would mean that I wouldn't go back to Sprint. I have no intention of doing that. Sprint provides a quality service at an affordable price. They just can't afford to continue to make mistakes like this or they will continue their decline until they are out of business and I don't want to see that happen.

Completely off topic, but has anyone ever actually had to say "TouchWiz" out loud to someone?

Talk about the worst product name ever. I don't think I could buy a phone with that UI on it, simply because I would be too embarrassed to actually tell anyone that I was playing with my "TouchWiz".
[Hero CDMA General] barbiedollish:
What the hell? AT&Fee doesn't have a 2.1 device and neither does T-Mobile really. They have the Nexus One, but it is not sold in stores and with all the hardware and software issues, it's not worth mentioning. The only carrier with any 2.1 devices is Verizon and that is just as of now. The MT3G, EVO, and other devices are well on the way.
[Hero CDMA General] SWhite_:
think of it this way... you're gonna want to run Froyo when it comes out anyway & NO WAY is Sprint or HTC gonna bother with an official upgrade for that. They'll be pushing the EVO/Next Big Thing. Thank goodness for the great developers working on stuff here.
[Hero CDMA General] mjb5406:
Here we are again, Raymond... first on Facebook, now on XDA.

I have to point out that Sprint posted a major maintenance release (like 87MB worth) for the Moment in February, 2010; it's available on their download site. It's still 1.5, but rather shatters the myth that Sprint is withholding maintenance releases. If you think about it from a support perspective, what would be gained by holding back maintenance releases other than pissed off techs and customers? I agree that there's something odd happening with Sprint seemingly coordinating the release of two divergent 2.1 releases (for the Moment and Hero) but the Feb. release for the Moment shows they not holding back on releases.

As far as "every other carrier" having a 2.1 phone, the Nexus One is NOT a T-Mobile phone; their new HD2 is WinMo 6.5 AND CANNOT BE UPGRADED TO WINDOWS PHONE 7, as officially announced by Microsoft. Imagine a phone whose upgrade path is dead-ended as soon as it's released.

So sorry... I had to point out the error of your "lack of maintenance releases" statement... if anything, the fact that they posted a maintenance package from Samsung tells me that HTC is the one holding back, although that does not explain why both vendors' 2.1 upgrades are delayed.
