GB is even further from the mark. At least with UK you included part of the same land mass that Eire occupies.

GB = Scotland + Wales + England

UK = GB + NI = United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Perhaps you meant to say British Isles?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
God damn it! :p

British Isles, UK, GB whatever, you know what i meant ;)

Got there eventually eh (now back on topic :p)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] joebush:
Just to make everyone aware...

Google Maps is preinstalled on many devices. Market will NOT autoupdate this at it wasn't installed in Market.

Those of you who can't find an upgrade, search for Google Maps in the Market and install. ;)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] RADroid:
Am I smokin crack or is Maps now running as a service and auto launching itself?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Even if you are, I don't think it is (for me anyway) :p

cant even see any app when i type google maps in the market >.<

what to do?

i'm still on jm6
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Justin^Tan:
sorry for double post, but i did install one, searching from google, and finally find the apk, but like RADroid said, it autolaunch itself and eating battery, just like the previous gallery

any idea?

What happened to Layers in Google Maps?

Things like "Traffic" layer, "Wikipedia" and "Transit" and other layers seem to be missing from Google Maps 5+

There's no option for layers at all. The only thing is "Labs" and that has "scale" and "measuring tape".
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] agentdr8:
I see layers still in 5.1.0. There's a button in the upper right (between places "pin" and compass button).

Ah, blind much!!:eek:

Anyone else having difficulties downloading the update from Market? I get to 99% and then it stops and I get a message stating the download failed.

Ive tried 4 times now...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] PumaCNR:
Where to find the apk? Not in market (for me)

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
If youre having issues installing and if youre rooted:

Use Root Explorer to delete com.google.maps in system/apps

Reboot

Install from the Market and you should be good to go :)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] carlsbad0331:
Thank you, that worked perfectly!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] orenxda:
Damn. I didn't notice first, but since last week minor update (from 5 to 5.10 i think), Google maps based apps crashes a few seconds after the "news" layer screen. All i Found was going to system/app folder to reinstall basic maps v 4. Is there a way to find back the 5.0 apk that was ok? As market now always proposes 5.10?

Anyone experiencing the same on their tab?

GT-P1000/XDA App
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Haven't had that issue :/ seems strange though. Have you tried a fresh install?

And a quick Google search of 'Google maps 5.0 apk' should find it :)

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] orenxda:
right, no need to dig to find it on the phone, it was on the web ;)

5.0 is still allright, 5.10 keeps crashing.

Anyone else notice that it often has 2 instances running. I even had 3 running one time. No biggie really just curious.

Google Maps 5 is awesome..

[General Topics] The5ickne55:
I have an X10i right now and I LOVE the phone,best phone I have ever used, hands down.

I want to keep an awesome phone, but because of work, I need to have verizon. I was looking at a droid x and a droid 2, I haven't explored outside of the phones that verizon sells though... Which phone do yall reccomend for someone who loves his x10i?

The important things to me are...

A good camera

3.5mm jack

Excellent 3rd party support

Free of any major issues (Aka not the samsung captivate)

Good support for gaming (snes,gba etc)

TFT screen
[General Topics] BABABANG:
The Droid Incredible is probably your best choice. It is an amazing phone, despite the horrible battery life that comes stock.

I paid the full price for my phone when it first came out, but nowadays you can get it free if you have an upgrade if you look around.

Since you don't spend any money on the actual phone, I recommend spending money on buying a new battery. If you want to maintain the slim form factor of the phone, get a 1500mah battery. If you want awesome battery life, but a slightly thicker phone, get the 2150.
[General Topics] dfgged:
I would say go for the Droid2 and then download LauncherPro. That or the Samsung Fascinate or Continuum.
[General Topics] PGleo86:
I second the Droid Incredible with the 1750mAh extended battery, if you shop around you can get it for $50 total including the extended battery, and it has an excellent dev community.
[General Topics] Diamond_dawg:
Droid 2 Global is a better device
[General Topics] brandonpry:
this depends on how you use your device, if you don't really care about roms then the d2 is your best choice with the specs you listed. if you really need roms like i do, then your best bet is the droid inc. because it's dev community is growing and the d2 really doesn't have that good of a dev community. If you want the best of both worlds go online and get the d1, it's fast and it has a good dev community
[General Topics] fwdixon:
I'm loving the Samsung Fascinate. At least until the Incredible HD rolls out with all it's LTE Goodness :D
[General Topics] yeah right:
Droid incredible hands down best phone on verizon right now. S-off and soon to have a 2.3 port will make this phone last much longer.
[General Topics] l1f35ux:
Droid incredible hands down. I have D2 now but so sick of locked bootloader. There are a lot of devs out there for the incredible if you are concerned for dev support.
[General Topics] Ireyn:
Droid Incredible for sure. Good-sized screen, thin, superior HTC software, dev community, and that SEXY back. Yummy.
[General Topics] Anderdroid:
I'm going to have to disagree with the Droid Incredible.

My vote goes to the Droid 2 and the Samsung Fascinate. Droid 2 if you want a keyboard, Samsung Fascinate if you don't.
[General Topics] Diamond_dawg:
Droid 2 if you visit out of the country, pretty usefull
[General Topics] Captainkrtek:
Go Droid Incredible or Fasc. I have the Fasc. Its pretty good. But I'd personally wait till Q1 of next year for the HTC Merge :)
[General Topics] 313:
Droid incredible is free at best buy mobile and is arguably the best of the droid series IMO and has a large dev community and plenty of roms

also the samsung fascinate is excellent as long as you plan on rooting it.. the dev community isbt as big yet because of the lack of 2.2 but its still dedicated and you can't go wrong with jts super clean rom

I own both but the lack of roms and 2.2 keep the Dinc. As my main phone

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] saltorio:
So Google just updated Maps on the market to 5.0, and the vector-based drawing engine is soooo much smoother than the old raster-based engine.

However, I've been trying to find a way to "tilt" the map down into 3D view, and can't seem to find a way since our X10 lack multi-touch and the gesture is a two-finger slide. According to Google's own gesture notes under Help in the app, the X10 should support the tilt gesture (unless of course Google messed up in listing the X10 there).

Anyone figured out how to tilt the map in Google Maps 5 on your X10?

If not, anyone willing to create some hacks that add buttons to the interface to mimic MT gestures?

-edit-

Here (http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1079043) is the Google support article listing the X10 as "support panning, zooming, and tilting gestures only."

Here (http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=1079041) is the Google support article showing that to 'Tilt' the view into 3D, you perform a two-finger vertical slide, something impossible without multi-touch support.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mr_Element:
Really is it so much nicer?!

One time I tried to update Google Maps (during the 1.6 period) and I did it "illegally" using Market Enabler because this download is not available in my country.

Right after that my battery started sucking like crazy and the Spare Parts app showed that the new update of Google Maps was responsible.

So I restored to previous version (everything back to normal) and I never updated Gmaps ever again! But with that post I am sooo tempted to try! :o
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] mapleleafz06:
I have to admit the google maps is a lot faster, but i am also wondering how to get it to 3D
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] saltorio:
I've edited my OP with a link to the article that shows to get into 3D view you need to perform a multi-touch gesture.

I've also posted a request on for Brut Google Maps (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=630887) to include alternatives to the MT gestures for tilt and rotate.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Cinner:
Only a few phones support the new 3D feature. The X10 is not on the list. Neither is the HTC Desire. You need a new phone with a 'real' multitouch display like the Nexus S.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] mipepim:
I can not find. whether there is a apk.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] saltorio:
Actually, if you read the first link in my OP, you'll see that it's multi-touch gestures that are not supported on the X10 and Nexus One, not 3D as you stated. This makes sense as the X10 lacks MT support, and the Nexus One (as well as the HTC Desire which is also on that list) have MT axis crossing issues that would prevent the rotate gesture from working.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] saltorio:
It showed up form me as an update available for Maps in the market.

What country are you in?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] mipepim:
east europe

Even though we now have an OTA of Swype for the Evo, it is still prohibited to post the APK. This is taken from the XDA front page and I just wanted to post so people take note.

And who are you?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] clamknuckle:
HTC doesn't release the source for Sense.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Noxious Ninja:
Why wouldn't it be? HTC/Sprint own the copyrights for the non-open-source parts. Unless they've granted developers modification/redistribution rights, posting ROMs is technically copyright infringement. Hell, unless you have permission, distributing the unmodified RUU is technically copyright infringement. Didn't shipped-roms.com have some legal issues a while back?

In any case, the only real distinction here is the Swype team explicitly asked for xda to not allow distribution of Swype betas. HTC/Sprint have not cracked down on distribution of modded ROMs.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] #Winning#:
I agree with you I am just following what the mods have posted. I am not trying to debate whether or not roms are warez or not. If you would like to debate the matter I would contact a mod. However if sprint or htc had a problem with this I would imagine we would not be using custom roms right now.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SITH16:
And the OEM out of the latest OTA isn't a beta.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Trumpduece:
So if I'm running the Fresh Rom on my Evo how am I supposed to get swype? Any way or wait till fresh updates?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] NotATreoFan:
Flaming the OP is not necessary, and will not be tolerated on XDA. The OP posted this in an attempt to stop us from having to clear out a bunch of posts containing warez. We have already received a C&D from the company, so unless included in a ROM for a device it is licensed for, Swype will continue to be off limits here.

Thank you for you understanding and cooperation.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanbase:
Hi, I noticed all my system apps have the date on 01-08-08,

also they dont show any filesize ( 0 kb) in Quick system info & app manager..

I have rooted stock rom from teppic with a few mods.

The desire is working normaly so i don't think I have to worry to much about it,

but would like to know what could be the issue.

I must say I did remove some of them using adb in RM and cleared dalvik cache everytime

after removing them.

grtz
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
maybe it is best that you flash another rom. definetly there is something wrong but not sure what.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lanbase:
Hmmm... I rather first find out what has caused this or run

in to trouble before I reflash, It was quite some work with all the added

mods.

I now remember that I used once wirelessadb which showed garbeld information

in the system/app/ folder and unusable that way.

Maybe that app could have messed the dates and sizes up.

grtz.

Edit: I just did a nandroid restore from before messing around with this wirelessadb, and the dates and sises

of the system apps where allready messed-up there. So that couldn't be the quilty one.

This is kind of useful to know actually, I'm sure there'll be times when I just want to use my well used iphone pair rather than the new ones.

that's really ashame for all the audio/entertainment companies...

stock headset with CM7 and volume controls to switch songs... works great.
[Nexus S Accessories] kheavy:
Now when you say 'call button' you don't mean able to answer incoming calls by pressing the button? Because my iphone ones work fine. I have noticed that sometimes annoyingly it will start my music player. Frankly this is my 1st android phone and i found the LACK for any controls (additional controls) strange.
[Nexus S Accessories] toriaa:
Do you have a volume control on your stock headset? And the sound of the stock headset is just aweful compared to other headphones/headsets...

Right now only 100 cities are supported with 3D viewing around the world. Mine's working fine because I live in L.A. :P
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] zervic:
So...if a program is installed with the ROM, i.e. in the ROM package such as google maps with cyanogenmod then, to update to the latest version of said app would you have to created a flashable zip to overwrite the existing apk?

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] kaschenberg:
How is it working?? I went to LA and no 3D buildings are shown. Do you view Terrain? Satellite? I'm confused as to why it's not working.

I've tried LA, Chicago, New York, none work.

did you zoom in? you have to go to like the most zoom possible.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] tacitapproval:
I live in Philadelphia and the 3d buildings end two blocks from our house :-)

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] kaschenberg:
I typed in Philadelphia, PA... went right to where it took me by default.. no 3d buildings all the way zoomed in on Terrain or Satellite layers.. nada zip...

Ok WOW i got it working.. I didnt know I could turn the layers off completely.. It only works when no layers are turned on at all!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] jayman2889:
I turned all of my layers off, searched for LA, zoomed in (layers still off) and still no tilt
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] thatkidjoe:
you used both two fingers then, drag down. that would tilt the map.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] jayman2889:
I did, still nothing :/
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] alfer:
Im not getting any tilt or rotate with gmm 5.0 either. Also I dont think I'm getting the vector graphics, because when I zoom in and out I still get the pixelated, blurry blocks like I always have. Maybe because I'm still running 2.1?
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] deftdrummer:
3D buildings are also not working for my Droid X. I am running stock build 2.2 Froyo rooted. I have no roms or themes. I've tried it with all layers off, searching LA and also Vancouver BC. Just tried San Francisco's Mission St. all the way zoomed with GPS on and no layers, still nothing.

I am so utterly confused as to why this is working for some people and not others. Only thing I can think of is that it is server side, since it appears to be completely at random which phones will work and which ones will not.

*Edit, just went back to the phone and tried again. This time it worked for the first time. All I did was tild the view level with two fingers swiping downward, then zoomed in level by level using the +/_ on screen buttons until 3D showed up. Sweet!
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] kaschenberg:
Make sure all layers are turned off. Go to Philadelphia, PA or maybe even New York, NY or possibly Chicago, IL. Zoom all the way in at first and wait a few seconds for it to all load. Take both fingers (seperated by about 0.25" from each other) and drag down on the screen or up on the screen depending on the tilt action. It doesn't tilt much, but some.

The only thing I cannot get working is the rotation. I don't think the screen recognizes it correctly perhaps?

Anywho, it's a nifty feature for someone who walks around the city a lot! Or, just for the eyecandy factor? :D
