True but you can do that on google then use software that actually puts you on the right street to get there, like CoPilot (which I use), OSM Maps (I also use) or TeleNav, which seems to work better at that. Don't get me wrong, google nav has lots of great features but when is consistently has me driving through building or on a street 2 blocks away it pretty much becomes an anger management issue then.

Copilot has put me on a wrong street once or twice in 3 months of useand only for 2 or 3 seconds at that. The same with OSM Maps, which is free, and today telenav seemed to have no issues even though it is pouring rain out. Google always yells at me to make turns to get back to my route even though I'm just sitting at a light and google won't work with out a signal for data transmission. Copilot and OSM save the map data on your device, all of North America including Mexico is just over 1GB on my external card, and work with no cell or wifi signal which make them real gps capable IMO and I simply don't have the constantly lost issues with them. :cool:

I've been using it in Canada without any problems at all. What isn't working for you?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AverageJane:
Thanks for this, installed yesterday.

Has anyone had issues with the audio making a popping/skipping sound? Perhaps I just had something funky going on with my phone, but I wanted to see if someone else may have experienced this.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] askpcguy:
The audio is perfect for me, uninstall then reinstall and see if anything changes.

How does speakerphone and other media sound?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AverageJane:
I'll give that a try. As far as speakerphone goes, that's OK (although I tend to use my Bluetooth headset more often). I have noticed Pandora's been wigging out a lot lately - besides the obvious skipping issues a lot of people are experiencing, I also have these random popping noises, but that could be because of the tape adapter I'm using in the car.

Anyway, it's not a huge issue as I would normally use my Garmin, but it is nice to have a backup app just in case. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a quirk with the phone.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] chief_p:
how do you download app directly to phone?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Miami_Son:
Did you read the thread? Are you rooted?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] AmandeepG:
It asks for a phone number, then a PIN. It offers to text me the PIN, but when I tell it to, it never texts me. I'm using a number with area code 416 (Toronto).

Need apk

Anyone still have the apk? I had to reset my phone and didn't remember to back up after installing this app. Now the site is gone and I'm stuck without it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Telenav APK

Here's the APK should anyone want it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] movrshakr:
OK, you were this unknowledgeable at one time too...

I went to site using Captivate/Cognition 4.3; was able to download; it landed at /sdcard/download/TN6.apk.

Now what do I do to make it work?

LATER--!! Cancel--I took a chance and touched the apk name and it installed. Sorry to bother you. I thought the apk file had to be moved to just the right place, and magic done to it.

And with just a few minutes playing with Telenav, I =really= like it, from what I see in just a few minutes.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] askpcguy:
Now you could also look up the ADB install command to learn more!

Glad it worked out for you.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] movrshakr:
ADB requires some software installed on your PC no? And phone connected to PC. Why not just 'click' the apk to install rather than all that?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] askpcguy:
You download the SDK in a zip, unzip and use. It's not difficult.

I'll do this when I'm flashing ROMS and want to install a few things, rather than get the APK on the phone, then go through the steps... I just adb install and its done.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] dwmoss:
How's everyone else's data use with telenav?? xdahgary, how are you determining your data use?

I've install telenav and used it briefly, seems nice, but since I picked up an external bt gps unit (globsat bt-359), google nav has been right on and I haven't felt the need to use telenav.

Data Usage

Used Telenav for a round trip to ATL airport. Used 33mb data for one leg ~ 3hr drive time. Waiting to see the other leg posted on AT&T OLAM. Software works well and is accurate but if you are on a limited data plan beware.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] movrshakr:
Did you find battery usage increased? I used it for a short trip one day, and battery was way lower than normal when I end the day. Other usage that day was about like my ordinary days, but I don't know for sure if Telenav did the extra draining.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gil516:
great find!! thanks for sharing
[Captivate Themes and Apps] movrshakr:
Good thought. I have telenav, but also got a Qstarz BT-818XT GPS receiver a couple of months ago. Love it. Works super.

However, the problem with google maps+ external receiver is that it still has to download maps as you drive.

Thus, I don't understand high telenav data usage at all, as it has its maps stored on the phone--not downloaded real time. Data usage should be minimal (or zero with an external GPS in use).

What is OLAM?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] movrshakr:
After thinking about this, I think maybe it was screen ON-time that drove the battery usage. Screen is a big battery hog, and while navigating, I had it ON a lot more than normal. So that is probably what drove battery usage up.

Here you can get an updated version.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] movrshakr:
Why wouldn't updates come through market? WebOFTrust flags that site as dangerous.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Seanbest:
Won't come in the market because its not available from att. Site is ok for me, working great so far.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] movrshakr:
There are thousands of things in the market that are not from ATT. I don't see what that has to do with it.

But I accept that it is not in the market...I looked for it; not there.

[HTC Incredible S] c33v33:
Great review!

Can you confirm AWS band on the Incredible S?

GSMArena used to have a 900/1700/2100 HSPDA band spec for this phone, but has now changed it to 900/2100.

I want to import for T-Mobile USA, but need to know if it supports AWS.
[HTC Incredible S] gudge:
Great review, I have exact same deal from Carphone as you, and i am delighted with the phone, it is truly awesome. I agree with everything you said, except I am not so sure about the battery life. Mine has not had a great deal of use today, but its been off charge for only 12 hours and I reckon it will need to go on the charger pretty soon if I do a bit of surfing this evening. Cheers
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
Bands are as follows:

HSPA/WCDMA:

Europe/Asia: 900/AWS/2100 MHz

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE:

850/900/1800/1900 MHz

Hope that helps!
[HTC Incredible S] Bantu85:
Thanks for this review... One thing i wanted to ask was how "fingerprinty" does the phone get?

I'll be upgrading from the HTC Hero, which has stood up quite well thanks to the efforts of various devs.

I'm also planning on buying it handset only as i'm on an amazing phone plan and i'd rather get lower line rental than the free phone! Prices i've seen are around £480-£500... not yet sure if it's worth that.
[HTC Incredible S] ganstakillerz:
Much better than those plastic phones i.e Samsung Gal S & Neux 2. The screen will get fingers prints (as per most phones) but the back is covered in a rubber coating which is nice to grip and leaves no prints, unless the fingers were covered in grease in the first place :)

Note: CPW £449 pay as you go.... Their phones are unlocked. I know cos I have brought my last 3 handsets inc the HTC Incred S from CPW
[HTC Incredible S] xspyda:
Very much so, best run down I have seen upto now! Thanks for the taking the time out and I look forward to hearing more from you and seeing the pics you are planning to upload.

Totally agree especially given that HTC market this as being 'in between' the Desire and the Desire HD. Should it not therefore hold an in between price tag too?

Nice tip, thanks for that, still pricey but a little less painful I guess!
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
I actually went back today and got my own, so I will upload all the pics & video tomorrow. I am also looking into rooting it as no devs appear to have picked one up, but I am not making any promises, I am working pretty much totally off the internet and what info I can piece together
[HTC Incredible S] xspyda:
Hah, so you and your other half are sat in silence now as you both play with your new toys I take it? ;-p

Excellent, great to hear. I think it's early days for the devs at the moment and when it starts to show on Verizon etc state side I think we can expect more from this - after all, it's always only a matter of time isn't it :)

Thanks for your input, I am considering picking one of these up myself as I really do not want anything above 4" and the only real 'superphones' that have come out of MWC 2011 are 4.3 - with the exception of some of the lesser tried and tested makes.

The speaker REALLY puts me off though, I had really hoped HTC would have learned their lesson!
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
I personally use the headphones and don't use the loudspeaker, but I can see it being a turn off if it is important to you. I don't mind it for watching a youtube video and turning on SRS helps, but it is still pretty tinny. I wish I had a DHD to compare to so I could let you know how it matches up, but I don't know anyone with one
[HTC Incredible S] xspyda:
Well from my short time with both devices I can say that neither are great but the DHD seemed marginally better to me. That said, I spent a good few days with the DHD in different ambient conditions whereas I spent minutes with the Incredible S and was only able to listen to the audio supplied on the phone which to be fair is a poor example.

I don't want to listen to music on the phone but as I say, watching video's / clips the tinny sound is very grating. Seriously considering getting one on an 'able to return' basis though to see if I can put up with it as this phone seems to have everything else I want.

Maybe someone else with this and the DHD will be able to comment on the speaker comparison?
[HTC Incredible S] xspyda:
Any info on how it handles video codecs? I assume out of the box it will not play avi / divx?

Presume such apps as Vplayer / QQPlayer and Rockplayer will let you play a full sized avi with no fuss though and remain in sync throughout?
[HTC Incredible S] Jazd71:
I found that it does actually play some avi files without the likes of rockplayer; however when using rockplayer it seems to be flawless, though sound is adequate rather than amazing via loud speaker, ear phones is perfectly acceptable.
[HTC Incredible S] olyloh6696:
Great review!

Cheers!

I am currently deciding between this and the DHD... I prefably like the DHD for it's price. Much cheaper than the Incredible. The battery performance on the incredible actually sounds bloody amazing according to your review! The DHD 1230Mah battery is it's weakness point. I am in a dilema on which to get...

Like you said though, it isnt a MAJOR upgrade. So should i get the DHD for a worse battery but for a cheaper £389 compared to £499?

Cheers!
[HTC Incredible S] xspyda:
remember it's £459 if buying from CPW - you can buy the cheaper PAYG deal as they are all sim free anyway!
[HTC Incredible S] olyloh6696:
thanks! any chance for a link? :)
[HTC Incredible S] xspyda:
Sure ...

Here ya go
[HTC Incredible S] DuoM:
Thanks for posting this review and the follow-up. I'm looking at getting this phone instead of the DHD because of the poor battery life and the uni-body design of the DHD.

No root yet though.......

I hope mine soon arrives ... This review makes me more impatient then I already was :D
[HTC Incredible S] BWA80:
Hi!

How is the screen, do you have a screen protector? do you think it needs one or is the screen strong enough to go out "naked". I do not have this phone yet, but when i get it i will be using a leather poutch, so i was thinking is a screen protector necessary?? ..i really do not like the feel of them.:eek:

Thanks!!
[HTC Incredible S] gudge:
I had a screen protector on my IS for two days, but it destroyed the quality of the display, so I've taken it off, just hoping I don't scratch it.
[HTC Incredible S] vicedens2002:
Does this phone has dolby mobile ?
[HTC Incredible S] bitpatrol:
I don't like the feel of them either ... If you're using a leather pouch the scratching will be minimum, the glass seems pretty solid to me ;)
[HTC Incredible S] timbo007up:
@vincent: even if it had dolby mobile, it wasn't worth a damn, since the quality of the speakers are crappy. But the DLNA server should provide it, haven't tested it.

About scratches: I have no pouch or protector, just doing fine, just be a little carefull and don't put keys in the same pocket. Nvr had a scratch on my desire this way and the glass of the IS feels more solid!
[HTC Incredible S] ShyamSasi:
Thanks for the review. I'm in a dilemma between this and SE Arc. Only thing that bothers is the phone is not rooted. I use WildFire so spoiled with root privilege.

[G Tablet General] öcdc:
i just got my 10s today and have no clue how to get the market working :/

i cant flash a custom rom becuase there are none avaible. i tried to dl the market apk and install it but it cant be installed (i didnt thought it would but still worth a try :) )

any ideas or something i missed with my research?
[G Tablet General] jpramlak:
Have you checked if there's a separate forum for the 10s?

I see that it's now showing up on the US Viewsonic site and is available for online purchase from a few retailers.

Hang in there. Custom Roms should be showing up soon.

I'm not sure if you can use GTab Roms.
[G Tablet General] LittleBirds:
ViewSonic has several interesting tablet devices and I would like to see a place for those in the forums here. So far GTablet is the only one with an XDA forum.
[G Tablet General] öcdc:
i checked a lot and i got the feeling i am the only viewpad 10s user in the whole world :)

well its really new on the market and i can wait a bit. i also took a look on the advent vega and its the 100% same product like the viewpad 10s so i guess these custom roms should work. i will still wait for some braver users than me to test it, i dont want to be the first one :)
[G Tablet General] ABD3Fs:
Well, I get my 10s tomorrow...we need to do a subforum with this tablet
[G Tablet General] viewpad10s:
Custom ROMs are definitely wanted

I've got one of these Viewpad 10s tablets.

I would love to get some custom ROMs to try out.

I've looked at the GTab ones, but there are some differences in these and haven't been able to boot up after flashing a Gtablet ROM.

There is a 10s factory reset exe from Viewsonic that seems to use nvram. I've had to do this a few times after bricking my 10s.

The instructions and files for download are here:

ap dot viewsonic dot com/my/kbase/article.php?id=256

I also had to use a USB keyboard to make selection choices when in the CWM recovery boot. The 10s does not have a home button - so a USB keyboard is the only way I could confirm any of the menu choices.

The other major difference I can see being an issue is that the 10s only has 512MB internal flash storage, whilst I think the GTablet has 16GB internal storage.

The specs for the 10s are here:

www dot viewsoniceurope dot com/uk/products/viewpad/viewpad10s/specs.php

I hope some other 10s owners show interest in Custom ROMs and some are released soon.

Fingers crossed I guess.
[G Tablet General] chrisfuss:
Hi

I also just got a 10s here in China. So far its nice to surf... I am missing the standard google apps and market from my android phone! So I am also interested a lot in custom roms!

I tried to get the pad in recovery mod but no chace... according to the link above its "back button" + "power button" anyone else experienced this or managed to get into recovery mode?

Another thing... The VPN client seems to be broken I cannot connect via PPTP while same account is working on other android devices... :-(

So hope we will open a subforum soon.

[G Tablet General] öcdc:
guys if u want custom roms u should look at the advent vega forums. it is the totally identical device and is longer out in the market.

btw here 2 tipps for 10s users:

1.

go to this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827209&highlight=tablet.zip

download the g tablet.zip and install the apps in the right order and enjoy full google market on ur viewpad 10s :)

2.

root ur device with http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/z4root-110178.shtml

then use a root explorer or titanium backup (or whatever) to delete the phone.apk and the telephonyprovider.apk

the result will be a better battery life because the phone standby wont suck most of the battery which is btw totally useless because we have no 3g etc.
[G Tablet General] ABD3Fs:
Yeah man!!!! You are The Boss!!! I'm getting crazy about the market...I didn't know what more could I do, and you take me the light with this post. Thanks a lot.

So we could prove to install an advent vega rom? Ok. I supose in this forum say how to acces to recovery, isn't it?

I'll prove next weekend, a lot of work this week, and I tell to you.

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] ministerjee:
im trying to decide between g-tablet and 10s,I like 10s better then gtab. but lack of market and custom ROMs is the only thing that is stopping me from buying it.

Please do update us if someone is able to get a working ROM on this tablet and what is the step by step guide for doing that.

Does market from g tablet.zip (which is posted by the above poster) works with out any problems.Does the tablet has to be rooted first for the Market to work?

One last question Is 10s any better then G-tablet??
[G Tablet General] öcdc:
@ABD3Fs np, i was pissed off due to no market too :)

market works without any problem here and u dont need to root it for that.

also u dont need a custom rom for full market access.

the difference between them two is a hdmi out at the 10s and the lil bigger battery on the gtab.

the 10s looks better in my opinion because of the better backside and no buttons but that is something everyone should decide for his own.
[G Tablet General] ABD3Fs:
Sorry, maybe I'm blind, but I don't see the .zip...somebody could help me please???

Thanks a lot to everybody.

Oh! I learn yesterday here that our 10s is an Advent Vega clon, but searching for this device in an spanish forum I don't found the Vega and I learn that is, also, a POV Movii clon...hope the information is usefull.

Um... that's the same SoC(Tegra2 T250 only Tegra 2) that's in the gtab...

main difference is MUCH less internal storage(512MB v. 16GB, geez they really gimped the 10s on storage...), 3G version, and possibly screen...

But really, at this point unless you really need a tablet or just have to have it now, I'd wait for Tegra kal-el tablets, quad core now w/NEON and improved GPU
