I searched the forum and youtube and found GPS apps that used to be available such as:

- Garmin XT (Garmin took this away due to their Garmin phone)

- Igo8 (United states version a.k.a. Oncourse Navigator not available)

- TomTom (Currently $136... quite greedy and for that price I will just buy a stinking GPS unit :mad:)

- Navigon (Currently $89... not as greedy as TomTom but I would still just buy a GPS unit for this price)

- Bing (Great option for free but I need something that runs without a data connection)

I want a GPS application I can use without a data connection in case I take trips outside of T-mobiles network. Is CoPilot the only option available?

If it is... could anyone give me their current thoughts on it since they added the "active traffic" update just a few days ago?

- Does CoPilot speak the street names or does it just say "turn left"?

- Are the maps current or do you find yourself with outdated maps?

- Is the Active Traffic helpful and up to date?

- Is it worth the $30 for the app or should I just end up buying a $70 GPS unit off of Amazon?
[HD2 General] apallohadas:
Uh, just get the Igo8 world version and delete the maps you don't want. Go to your favorite P2P source, get that, and search the threads here for the proper adjustment to the system file.

I installed it today and even used it. The only thing that it doesn't do is speak the street names.
[HD2 General] d0ug:
garmin mobile xt is something i would like to get a legitimate copy of, can anyone confirm that the garmin part number 010-10841-00 is the one that will install on windows mobile?

I see there are still a few retailer online with this item in stock
[HD2 General] nickkyboy36:
not that i recommend it at all, and it definitely shouldnt be done, it's pretty easy to find cracked software

but that's a terrible thing to do, and i for one have never done it.
[HD2 General] me:
As you mention, there are good free ones now like Bing, I would guess the next version of Google Maps, an app called Waze, etc. As you mention though, they all require data.

I haven't tried the paid ones, but the Copilot sure has a much better price than any of the others. I've seen some good reviews of it, including here on XDA. (Do a search for Copilot on XDA.) So, if you want data-free GPS, that might be a good option.

Notice-that $30 price for Copilot is the US version. (I forget if it includes Canada and/or Mexico. You pay extra (with all the commercial PDA apps) for each extra map you buy. So, if you are going somewhere not included in your package, you had better find out how much it would cost extra to buy the map for that country, continent, etc. Or buy the package for that other country, not the US one.

It almost seems that some here are kind of recommending (although not overtly) searching for illegally cracked versions online. I think it a better idea, if Copilot suits your needs, to buy from them. That sends a message to all--that those who price more reasonably, will get more sales. (Whereas if one is thinking-"I'll just steal the product I want", what message does that send? (In fact, the companies that charge a higher price, probably justify it, on the grounds that so many are stealing the product, that they have to charge more to the few who buy, in order to make ends meet.)
[HD2 General] sunking101:
CoPilot is rubbish, hands down the worst sat-nav app I've used on any phone. I would say it's not even worth having! Totally inaccurate route calculations. The graphics are nice and the voice just says turn left, turn right, continue etc if I recall correctly. It's been 6 months since I used it.
[HD2 General] ExAviator:
Sorry I must disagree. I've had in car installations in my vehicles (two) for almost ten years. I've used Toyota and VDO packages and currently have Pioneer and VW satnavs in my vehicles. I tried CoPilot on my HD2 as an experiment six months ago and found it superior to all of these kits.

For long complex journeys I now use my CoPilot with the in car Pioneer or VW satnavs as a back up.

My CoPilot voice not only gives directions beyond 'left/right' but also includes street names. It also covers traffic info and speed limits on the screen. Shows the correct lanes on motorways etc and even displays on screen the notice boards that you can see.

Not perfect but very good value for money.

By the way I've only used it in the UK and I've no vested interests in CoPilot.
[HD2 General] polo735:
Are we talking strictly WinMo in this discussion? If not, try IGO Motonav for android. I used IGO for windows mobile and have been using Motonav for android. They share .fbl map files.
[HD2 General] aiwama:
Completely agree! CoPilot 8 is an excellent software. I bought the European maps and use it regularly in the UK. Also used it in France, Portugal, Spain, Slovakia and the Czech Republic without a problem. Over the years I had Tom Tom (stand-alone & in WM phone) and I cannot compare both either on competence or on price. In my opinion, as far as WM software goes, CoPilot is well above the rest.
[HD2 General] ryuu55:
I have to say I really like Copilot Live 8... I've used iGuidance in the past and also TomTom 7, but when you add price & function "I" think that CP8 is pound-for-pound one of the best sat navs available on the HD2.

I remember someone telling me clockmod recovery had problems wipeing so i used amon but i got a new evo and just used the unrevoked 3.2 to root my evo and i forgot to use Amon and didnt realize till after the flash.

Just curious should i try and put Amon on or is clockmod fine?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thom_house:
Its a personal preference. I use clockworkmod recovery and have never had any issues, except with Fresh Roms. Besides that it has worked well with all of the other roms (I have tried nearly all of them).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgevo:
huh so u just have to wipe in a certain order? well thats a good thing to know.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
Am wondering, as I cannot really remember, does it say that Dalvik was wiped with Clockwork? I noticed the night I was running into some issues with wiping, that after hitting to wipe Dalvik it never seemed to even say anything after. Would just sit there ... but I could understand about the order of wiping, but wouldn't it just immediately "wipe the blank" but still say done/complete?

That's when I realized something wasn't happening as I could have sworn before it said wipe complete or something. I may be wrong, but am only wondering. Was then I hit these boards and saw a post about clockwork not wiping Dalvik and I just figured that mine was having the same issues as whoever was talking about it that night.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ziaratnia:
I got a T-Mobile MyTouch 3G from ebay. And I am living in Japan now, my carrier in Japan is Softbank. I can not use softbank cellular Data for activing it.

Now I can not do anything with my phone.

If somebody can help me, I can even pay him.

I NEED YOUR HELP.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Root or find a friend with a data plan who you can use their SIM card. Only two options.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ziaratnia:
Thank you for your reply.

But how can I root it, when I can not do anything with phone.

(because in rooting, you should go to phone menu and do something)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ziaratnia:
By the way, I have data plan in my Softbank sim card.

But I don't know why, MT3G can not conncet to internet by my data plan.

(I have no problem with data plan, if I use iPhone)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Most likely because of the data frequencies that the carrier use. As for rooting you have a very good point. I don't think you can without gaining access to the phone. As much as I hate to say it, you may be hosed. Someone else might be able to help though. I'm surprised that you can't at least get 2G though. Its usually just 3G people have issues with.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] chrism.brunner:
I read about and have tried, when you get to the activation screen, touching the four corners in a clockwise direction, starting at the top left corner. This skips the whole activation process. I have done this with several of my phones and sometimes it worked and sometimes not. Might be worth a try.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] atb1183:
i've done this w all roms i've flashed so far and have never failed:

touch 5 points in the following order:

top left corner

top right corner

bottom right corner

bottom left corner

top left corner

top as in right below the notification bar

bottom as in right above the Emergency and Activate buttons

might have to do it a few times to get it right (the touch screen isnt very accurate)

best of luck

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] tskramp:
The app will connect when the screen is off, but then it disconnects after a short period of time. I have it set to never turn off wifi though.

Edit: It does not disconnect if it's plugged in, so this could be a CM issue?

Also, when it synced, I have no notifications on my phone, yet in the desktop app it is displaying lots and lots of download notifications. (As show in the SS)

Edit: It would be nice if it had a dismiss all button.

Finally, is it supposed to show the name I entered on my phone in the desktop client next to the connect button, cause all it shows is 'Android Phone'. (As shown in the SS).

If there are any logs or anything that you want that would help just let me know and I'll send them to you.

c. I want the bottom black spot to look more keyboardish

d. I was thinking of putting something on the top black spot (maybe a phone?)

e. I will probably put a lighter color in this spots, maybe a blue or grey?

f. Ummm yeah give me some ideas.

any feedback on it is appreciated (from anybody actually, though the dev obviously has final say)

Love the app idea, I dont get service in my dining room, where I often spend time working. I either have to take my phone, and miss calls/texts with regularity, or leave it in the other room, and walk back and forth once in a while to check.

I installed, and everything works, for a little bit of time, when the screen times out and turns off, the app disconnects soonafter.

I can manually connect, and see whats on there, but not interact, and within a few seconds it times out and I need to connect again.

I'm using a Droid Incredible, with leaked (but same build as official) 2.2 OTA.

I wonder if it could be related to this android issue that gives another app I sometimes use issues. (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3708)

In the meantime I'll work on it with any changes you want or need...

as it is, all I'm thinking of adding is:

maybe a little shadowing/shading

adding something to the dark screen part, though I'm not sure what at this point. I'm kind of torn between a phone or D2D or something terminal looking..

though if i saw it as an icon, i could know if any thing else needs work...

just let me know what you think...

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] BootsSiR:
Ok, this is what I needed. Lots of feedback. I'll address individual posts throughout the day, but here are my thoughts so far

constellanation - thanks for the icon. I'm not sure if it'll be the final one but I'll probably use it for now :)

To those having issues when the screen is turned off - I think this is because the phone is killing your WiFi connection when it goes to sleep. I currently don't have anything in place to lock the WiFi connection on but I am going to add that in. I know Android is known to have issues with WiFi when the device sleeps (these issues don't exist in CM6). I will also be implementing an auto-reconnect mode so the software will automatically maintain the connection. Once your screens go off, are you able to connect manually?

To those not seeing their device detected - This could be an issue with your router blocking UDP multicast messages. Check your settings on your router and see if you can enable or unblock these types of messages. Future versions will allow you to manually enter the ip address of your device and that will allow you to circumvent this issue if router configuration is not an option.

To those experiencing crashes - any exceptions that occur should dump out to LogCat. If you are familiar enough with it, I'd love a copy of the exceptions :)

Thanks for testing it out. The feedback is very valuable.
