GPS App to Send Location via Email or SMS? - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Did a search on "Send Location" didn't get a hit except for QuickGPS.
Hoping to find a WMobile app that allows for your current location to be sent as either an SMS or Email. Ideally with a link to Google Maps so someone can see where you are when they ask you.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Facebook places

Does it work for any of you on HD Mini? I tried to open Facebook in Opera (even in all versions - mobile, touch and full) and through Facebook app from Marketplace. I can't see any visible button on which I can click to post a place. I am from Czech Rep. so it should work here. Thanks for any hint...
Did you try XDAFacebook? It has that function, but I never tried it.
The MS Facebook App lacks that feature.

[TUTORIAL] Configuring Google Now

It seems a fair few people are having issues configuring Google Now to give them the smooth female voice, images in the search content and the ability to send texts, set alarms etc.
Follow this tutorial and you should be sorted in no time.
The problem is that the phones native language should be set to US English, and the Google Now search needs to be configured to use google.com

Note: If you are in a Google Apps domain (rather than gmail.com/etc.), you will need to enable this feature as an administrator:
Google Apps Control Panel -> Settings -> Mobile -> Org Settings.
Click the checkbox beside "Enable Google Now." for the "organization" which should have access to the service.
(thanks to Rob Boek for pointing this out).

Now you should be all good to go. Give it a try and let me know
No "search on google.com" (even though it does it automatically for me) in privacy and accounts settings. Just Manage location settings, location and google search, show recent searches, and manage web history...

Interesting.. Not sure on that one. Take it you're in the US
I can't seem to download any language pack for the voice recognition. I see many languages listed but they keep failing to download. Is it because I'm not in the US?

I tried both wifi and data. No go. Sometimes it tries to download but it will just disappear by itself. Nothing is installed.

Language pack for UK downloaded fine for me, however it does seem to take an unusually long amount of time (~10 mins)
Well seeing that there's a country besides each language, I figured that I can't download any because I'm not in any of them...

Thats very odd, i dont think thats the case as I just download Chinese succesfully
Hmm, maybe it's the new franco JB kernel? That's the only thing I changed from bigxie's rom. I'll probably look around my location settings again.
I can't get it to open any of my apps....

That's pants. The old search would and it has the search phone selections like it used to... seems odd that they'd remove functionality from it

Thank you so much for this information! I can now add alams and send texts. I cannot get it to open applications though, no biggie!
Thanks again
EDIT : One last thing, it now thinks that I am living in the US and automatically gives me forecasts for Washington. I have to say "Weather forecast in Swansea" to get my location. Any way of changing this?

They are all on, it still gives me information for US though.
If I select "search on google.com" it gives me US results, if I un-tick it, it gives results for my location

[Q] Q: How to chose default messenger per contact

Hi
I did try to Google but couldn't find the answer....
Is it possible to choose the default messenger per Contact (not global default messger App?)
For example, for some of my contacts I would like to use WhatsApp, and for others SMSPro.
When I chose to send a message to the respective contact (from the address book), the appropriate app should be launched.
Any help would be most appreciated. This has been nagging me for sometime.
Thanks in advance

Why do you want to do this?

Firstly, thanks for replying to my query. Now for the reason....
For my contacts who are availabe on WhatsApp I would like to use it, for the rest I would like to use normal messaging app.
(Others may even want to extend it to other similar apps too.)
I'm not 100% sure, but i don't think you can. Unless you just don't choose a default message app. Then everyone you wanted to send a text message, a box will pop up asking which app you want to use. I think.

Thanx, this is what I do right now but is quite annoying. I guess I will use the WhatApp app directly for the few contacts that use this specifically.
Would be a great option to have.
I could think a similar aspect for the dialer app too. Use Google Voice, default dialer, ....

[Q] K9 (#SUK#) gives "-1"

hi,
I am trying to get Zooper widget (Themer) to show unread count from K9 Email, I found on the official zooper website the variable #SUK#, but it just returns "-1"
Have anyone been able to get this working?
Thanks in advance
BUMP^^^
Really no one with any knowledged of this?
Try adding the name of the inbox to the #SUK# tag.
For example, if your inbox is named primary you would type:
#SUKPrimary#
It works for gmail but i'm not sure about K9. It's worth a shot.
Sadly it does not work.
Thanks anyway though.

I am also keen to get this to work but this didn't work for me.
There does appear to be a way to get this to work using Tasker but it looks unnecessarily complicated compared to usimg the built-in variable. If only it worked.
I have the same problem ... #SUK# or #SUK^all# do not work. Who can help us?
Thank you in advance!

I think it's dependant on phone language settings.
For example, I'm from Slovakia and if my phone language is set to Slovak I have to use #SUGHlavné# or #SUKHlavné# Hlavné means Primary in slovak language. But if I set the language to English US then this slovak syntax don't work anymore I have to use #SUGPrimary# or #SUKPrimary#
But for example #SUG^all# working on both languages always. My device is Nexus 4 with stock kernel.
If You are from other country for example from Germany, France etc open Your gmail (of course Your computer laguage settings have to be set to Your language which is used also in phone) open the gmail on computer and check what is shown instead of Primary in my case Hlavné. Use this for the syntax.
Pavel thank you, but your solution does not seem to work with K-9 ...
The main box of K-9 is called (unless I am mistaken) in French "Boîte de réception"; # SUKBoîte de réception# "returns -1
Which offer an alternative?

Can't add Exchange account to Gmail even with Lollipop

Hey guys, I assumed that with the Lollipop update, I would be able to add my exchange account to GMail as I did on my Nexus 5.
Is it normal that this option is not available?
Thanks

I assumed that was the problem because I can't find "Google Exchange Services" in my apps section but I can't find it in the playstore either. Should I bee looking somewhere else?

Try updating the app to the most recent version.
Hit the three bars in the top right.
Hit the down arrow on your account.
Hit Add account.
Try selecting personal.
The personal option allowed me to add yahoo to gmail without any additional setup. I'm assuming it'll work the same with an exchange account because it does all the server adjustments and whatnot.
If you already tried this, I'm sorry I couldn't help any more!
