Is it just today, my phone or is Google Maps (My Location) NOT working??!?!?!
Well you are suppose to download Google maps from the internet on your phone the website is like Google.com/gmm im pretty sure , then once u download it i think you go to the start menu and then find the .cab file and run that or look in you applications or programs to see if it is in there and when you are using it you must also be connected to the internet.. Well hope it helps
I dont wanna know how to install it.
I am not able to use (does nothing) the "My Loaction" feature since i update 6.1
mine works on and off sometimes. like when im inside college it doesnt work, but when i was at my friends appartment it worked just fine....so i dont know. but i do have windows mobile 6.1
grrrrrrrrr
mine isnt working anywhere and i dont think i messed around with the settings

Hi !
I'm kind of lost with these programs available for windows mobile and wich one fits with the htc s620 ...
I'm looking for a good program for maps and atlas. I don't want to program to connect to the internet to get the maps tought since i don't want my cell company to charge me for the data downloaded.
Anyone has an idea ?
No one has a program that they love for maps ? =)
google maps works good with it man..u can jus use wifi...free..has a mylocation service which is like gps and it gets pretty close..1000 meters maximum...
no one here really uses map/atlas stuff, besides google maps, because this phone doesnt have gps. i personally wont buy a gps receiver for it, because its old hardware...id rather put that money into a new phone that has gps..
Well, i'm not really wanting to buy a GPS for it ...
I just want something to look thru maps like microsoft maps (Im not sure of the name of their software) ?
I just dont wanna overload the data transfer on my cellphone in case my provider decide to charge me even if it's unlimited internet .... they charge me for each Kilobyte i load.
I was wondering if Tomtom will work on my htc without a GPS ?
I mean, would i be able to search for streets and see my way thru ?
Cause i'm planning on going to a week-end out of town so i'm preparing myself =D
I would recommend google maps, as it is free and mostly reliable for the most part.

I believe that you will need a GPS device (a bluetooth gps device to connect it to your phone).
Static Maps
I'm also looking for " static " maps. There must be some thing available that we can download. I'm not interested in GPS related maps only a static map of Toronto, Canada. Any help is appreciated.

No it has not been mention so I am going to let you all know that GOOGLE MAPS is the best.
Everyone over looks the obvious. Microsoft Live. Decent map program (and more) and its already on the device. Personally I use Google Maps and MapQuest Navigator, both with my b-speech bluetooth GPS. MS Live works just fine except the Ariel Maps are in black and white lol
Hi All
I don't know if someone already posted this but i thought i post it anyway. I searched for a easy 2 use GPS Application with good maps and free.
I found this.
http://www.amazegps.com/welcome.php?language=international
I installed it and it worked really good for me. It found all the directions i was searching for and it worked also really good on the street. The "GUI" is easy 2 understand and simple to use.
Check it Out and Have fun with it.
Has anyone tried this? Sounds almost too good to be true?!
Well ive isntalled it, it works,
going to test on the way home this eve and ill post later......
Bloke
Same - It looks like it's a bit like Google Maps, and runs by downloading images. Not sure about voices.. we'll see!
Ive tryed it and it works really good

Hi
I tried alot of stuff and i have to say honestly that this is the best thing if you dont wanna pay for it.
I tried , tom tom, Navigon and others. But im not willing to pay 300 Swiss franks in my case for something i can get free.
Have fun with it
I tried it out today, seemed to work, finds locations well in the database..
But It got me lost on my first try
Will try it again though, looks promising for a free solutions.

I used it as my primary navigation on my N95 8GB and currently use it on my Diamond2. Works great. They are working on a version so you can download maps offline. Because now it downloads the route through your connection. Using the arrow mode its very / unnoticeable data amount, but using maps might add up a little.

What you mean by "But It got me lost on my first try" ?

"There is no such thing as a free lunch."
So it needs to be connected to GPRS on the move?

I got lost, it took me to the wrong place, then kept recalculating, I think it was slow to update...
Ive been recently updating my rom to 6.5 and it didnt work initially,
Now ive reinstalled it so will try this evening ;-)

Can the route, once setup (ie start and destination input and a route plotted), be altered??
I'd like to set waypoints, and then adjust the route around known traffic spots, or along roads I particularly want to go one, then have the instructions fed to me by voice.
Google maps on the web allows this - but not the google-mobile version, and I know it's possible on the "paid for" navigation softwares.
malsing maps
tell me if someone got malsing map for this software. where i can download malsing maps?
Tried it again this afternoon , goin from slough to Egham, and worked really well, you need to change the view to the map with arrows option to get a good idea of where you are going, arrows alone done really work too well,
But as a free option, this is pretty good ;-)
Bloke
It works good with my HTC6800, but when i use it for my HD, after exit the program, the system always error.... then i need to restart it, but if i use the HOME key to exit, then press the right corner to exit, its good...
I have downloaded this software and it looks to be working, yet to use on the open road,
Which WM6 version did you go for?
Communication Problem!
Has anyone who lives in Asia try this? It shows "communication problem" after I launches it. Help Please
Title says it all.
Yep, blocked or somethings gone wrong.
Market enabler says it is working and access is ready. Go into market, select all apps and then change view to paid.
Getting message "no matching content in Android Market"
Killed tasks, started phone from scratch and still the same.
No problems here...
anyone got any help here please?
I can still see paid apps with my rooted while unlocked hero using market enabler.
Fixed it.
Market enabler was defiantly blocked/or bust in on my phone. Reinstall of app failed, everything failed except for....well PM me for details because I ain't posting it here. I have a feeling it may have been a deliberate act either by Google or Netcom though I cannot see how the later could have achieved this.
Same here.
Worked a couple of days ago.
Not anymore.
Have Onecall and that uses telenor and network Norways net.
Not netcom. Is Google that is ****ing us over again.
Same here , since yesterday , i cannot see paid aps in Market with ME
http://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/issues/detail?id=6
Basically it says that 3.0 beta works if you set it to o2-de.
And I can confirm that it works (for how long, who knows)
Right now I'm buying out the market in case someone at Google decides it'll be a good idea to remove paid apps again.
I just wish I could actually locate CoPilot GPS....

Just tried,
It works when installing 3.0 beta like you said. I can also see CoPilot on the list of top paid apps.
Can you tell me if this:
http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.alk.copilot.marketplace.na.full
shows up?
Or if the North American one from here shows up:
http://www.alk.eu.com/copilot/android/
I tried both using all 4 profiles in ME3 and none show up.
Calm down, calm down.
As I said, I have sussed the problem and it is not the blocking of T-mobile. It is your operator resetting your location and there is a simple fix.
I have reproduced the problem and a a workaround. Think about it, how can the operator block you if you are on wifi? The market enabler spoofs the location of the phone so the operator sends a message to the unit to reset location back to the home country provider. Google then blocks that as it was before the phone was Market Enabled. All you have to do get the phone back into a position of spoofing its location.
They could not block access for the T-mobile spoof as that would piss of all American Android users on T-Mobile who are not spoofing but have it for real. Therefore country id, in the marketplace, must be a combination of two factors. Google has just found a way of resetting one. I worked out a way of putting it back.

Ummm, I guess you're right. It doesn't show up. I guess the US T-Mobile profile is blocked?
OH come on read please.
For the last sodding time it's not blocked! I am on the T-mobile spoof address after resetting my location!
or if nothing works anymore you go the easyest way like i do since yesterday..... takeout my Orange Swiss simcard, put it in my X1, make it as a router, put my german Simyo simcard into my hero and go online by wifi over X1 if im on the way or use my wify at home...... if using a german simcard oder another one from an activated country everything will work wherever you are
I mention this recently in the 'cab' thread but I think it got lost in the rest of the discussions.
I have a SIM-free TP2 which I am using with a T-mobile UK SIM with web 'n' walk.
This has worked fine with Windows Mobile and even with the early Android versions. I downloaded apps from the Android market place without issue.
However, for the past couple of weeks I have not been able to download anything. I can still see all the apps in the market place but any downloads just stick saying "Starting download..."
GTalk doesn't connect either but I cannot remember if that ever worked.
So could it be that TMUK are blocking access somehow?
I know that when I almost bought a G1 from them they insisted that I upgraded to W'n'W plus and also I've never managed to find a GTalk client that works on WM but could they really be blocking non-official Android phones somehow? Or am I just being paranoid?.
R.
try disabling the proxy in connections
If you mean the proxy in the T-mobile APN then it is not set.
Also, I should have said that all the other communications stuff such as web browsing work fine.
R
I am having the same problem with the same phone and t-mobile, any ideas anyone?
Yup, me too. I think they must be blocking it. No idea why though .
Looks like it's not just us who are having the problem:

Good to know they're not "deliberately" blocking it at least
try market enabler maybe?

Doesn't make any difference for me. It seems to make Marketplace crash in fact.

Market downloads still not working for me.
Waiting for WiFi...
R.
When i rang them, they said their content filter was stopping things like gtalk, android market and even youtube.
I got mine taken away although it didn't bother me before.
Same things happening now, Hopefully the 24 hours they say it takes to activate makes the marketplace work
Youtube works fine for me...
dbwun: What did you get taken way? I don't really understand what you mean.
R.
I took away the content filter tmobile puts on
For me, marketplace was working fine until a couple of weeks ago then it stopped.
What package do you have from T-mob? Web 'n' Walk or Web 'n' Walk plus?
I'm a little concerned that they may force an upgrade on me if I ring up and complain that my Android phone isn't working...
its just web n walk
i did read the posts on upgrading to plus, but unless i force them to give it to me for free theres little chance of me upgrading
Just installed the latest 0103 CAB and GTalk & Marketplace are both working...
Not sure if this is just coincidence or if something has changed...
Don't know if this: "New file system to match other handsets and avoid apps installing to system folder." would have any impact on the functionallity of gtalk or marketplace.
Anyway, both now work via 3G & WiFi.
R.
Thats wierd, same here.
Gtalk works and now marketplace.
Suppose thats great now.
A little off topic but have you tried using the starfield live wallpaper app.
I can download it, but I have no idea how to run it?
Just do a long-press on the home screen then choose Wallpapers then Live wallpapers then Starfield...
R.
Yup, all working here too. WiFi & 3G .
Can't wait for sound now and I'm all set for everyday use.
So I have Google Maps 4.4.0 on my Desire and I think I actually dont know how to work with them. I know it might be the lamest question here ever but still GPS find my location (3G is on) I search for place I need to get with car, press Go and I get route but it just dont follow and dont show how far till destination. Start point stays at place where I started the rote. Should it work like that or I'm just doing something wrong?
yea I found out that i cant use Google Maps I have to use Navigation to navigate to location I want to find, sorry
