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......

Same - It looks like it's a bit like Google Maps, and runs by downloading images. Not sure about voices.. we'll see!

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.

Hi
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 ;-)

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
Well I ask because for the past day or 2 now my phone is constantly freezing. Usually just sending texts. Can anyone help me fix this, or is it a virus? Or what?
What ROM are you using? A hard reset will probably fix it. I've heard viruses exist for smartphones but I've never seen or heard of anyone getting one. Most likely a virus/malware for a phone would be used for information collecting and not to cripple a device, since you could just hard reset or flash a ROM to make it go away. BB's, Androids, and WinMo, all have that feature, I'm sure palm and symbian do too although I've never used those OS's.
Im using the 3vo rom. Up untill a few days ago, it was perfect. I was running aim mobile (not oz) msn, core player, and texting. Now it freezes just reciving a text. I reset it constantly and it never helps. It will be fine again for a while, and then its frozen again. Its really pissing me off.
woah. it the same with meh. just until yesterday i got it bad enough that it froze my phone completely. No hard reset can fix...:C help any one?
Now my phone is going nutz. It starts everytime I start texting. I guess I'll have to try another rom or reformat it.
wait try clearing ur internet cache
Its too late for that. But why would the cache make the texts lag?
memory, n try to delete ur textes that could b one too. n oh wat u mean its too late
I already reformated my phone thinking it was a virus or something. It dawned on me afterwards that I had to have about 50 - 100 texts in thread mode. I think it was just too many texts vs cpu power. ._. i feel so silly.
I'd rule out Virus in the equation, there has only ever been a small amount of Virus's reported for WM and they tended to be like malware rather than to decapitate phone, software can easily cause problems over time things get corrupted etc, very much like your home PC's but far less tools to fix it "often a hard-reset best bet", or even a flash of the stock ROM as even when flashing things can be left the can cause problems in the future.
Regards texts: Should be able to store 1000's without a problem Only time had problems is restoring that amount of texts after a flash tends to make the phone slow.
ClearTemp is good to keep up to date with cleaning you'd be surprised the amount that builds up.
Also keeping as much space as you can on device so only installing programs needed to start up to device and installing other stuff to SD, exception for me is CorePlayer to take the lag off card read "since large data needs to be read at a time"
See you got it sorted Just wanted to leave 2c and may be useful for future
Did u, by any chance, completely drain ur battery and the phone autoswitch off while texting. that happened to me a while ago, and after i restarted texting was never the same, all the incidents ur describing where happening, so i figured out the database got corrupt cause of sudden off. a hard reset fixed it.
ya but wat about my fone? mines is frozen on the start up screen, n i reflashed it tons of times. and i did lots of hard resets but it wont leave that screen....can any one tell me wats going on?
Maybe a virus
I have seen virus infecting nokia phones, and all they do is try to replicate and copy themselves to other cellphones. And in smartphone maybe the same, why dont you try to get a AirScanner AV, for smartphone, maybe that could help. I have the cab, but i cant upload it right now cuz im at work but i can maybe later i will try to share it. take care pal!
Try installing Kaspersky mobile. It´s a 30 day trial, but if there is a virus, it might get detected and cleaned within this 30 day period.
Regards.
wow i nvr had to figure that i had to protect my phone against viruses
LoL this's kinda funny sumtimes windows mobile crashes thats all u had going on hard resets all u can do like you did i bet tho these phones data is all stolen for sure Wifi tho should be safest tho id think anyhows no virus's but im sure theres one two out there but wouldnt really count on it happening lol.

Exactly
As previously stated, wouldn't waiste resources RAM/Battery to run an extra program to find zilch, if really paranoid scan items on desktop before transfer.
In a couple of years time we'll all be running AV's on phones picking up false positives and being baught into the paranoid AV world

In fact, I don´t... I do as Stylez said... scan files BEFORE let them in the phone.

How to on last page ClearTemp
Also pretty sure IE has the choice in settings
The same as on computer a little bit of cleaning will help.
Hello
Got my phone today, love it...(although reception is poor in the middle of my Basement flat! )
Anyway, im new to android but ive managed to set up my account to get stuff from the market place, ive got seesmic and the update for google maps ready for download but the just seem to be sitting in the "currently downloading" section of the store, each one says starting to download but there's no progress on the bar (just the little candy striped thing turning, but no actual downloading !)
whats up with that !?
Could very well be something dumb ive done or not done !
any help
(although reception is poor i am connected through my wifi, i guess that works for downloading apps too!?)
It can happen sometimes, just cancel download and start it up again... Maybe try doing one at a time...
If the problem persists let us know...
Probably something to do with your reception, I notice it seems to be buggy when downloading and your connection switches from 3G to 2G
Thanks Man
Ill give it a go and see what happens
on a side note, i remember your post about the store being slow and you having to enable some content or something...what was that about ?

I have no idea, it seems to have fixed itself now. Definately something to do with T-Mobile's rom and their content lock for under 18's not the OS itself.
just went for a factory reset in the end !
Still, sorted the problem nicely
Cheers Chaps
Also, whilst im on, anyone have any views on the best browser for the phone ?
Not that i dont like the default one, just wondered about peoples favourite alternatives
Thanks

Dolphin and Opera Mini are popular alternatives.
I have this problem as well. It appears on and off and I can't find a pattern. Sometimes rebooting the phone solves the problem and other times it doesn't.
question. Your network got a content lock? could it be screwing up the market?
I know i had to disable t-mobiles one just to even get in there.
I'm just giving the latest opera browser a go. While it's quite different, i do like it! It seems a little faster to use than the default one. My suggestion is to go with juicydefender, for the first week if not all the time. It really does enhance the battery life. Doubled mine for my first week
How to configure juicedefender in the proper way? I managed to set it to use Wifi only at specified time, but how can I force the other softwares (weather widget, gmail client, etc.) to use the data connection in THAT period of time when juicedefender turns the wifi on?
Hey there. This is my first post but rest assured I'm not really a noob (been editing wm reg for at least 5 years...)
I am grandfathered in to an unlimited data plan with at&t (although I did have to go from $20 to $30 a month when I upgraded to the tilt2/rohdium) and I have a minor but seriously annoying problem with using xda-wifi-sharing & bittorrent under some pretty specific circumstances.
I have been using my service to download video for several years as I don't have a tv or internet any other way. I get much of my tv video from tvtorrents.com as you can download entire seasons of just about any tv worth watching.
When I am downloading a season torrent (multiple episodes, many peers etc...) my 3G/HSDPA connection times out or gets "stuck" and requires me to restart the data service on the phone. While this has happened before, rarely, it is happening very frequently now.
Using tvtorrents for these type of downloads affords many high speed seeds and I think that the number of seed/peer connections is somehow overwhelming the 3G/HSDPA data connection, causing it to time out. This never used to happen with this frequency and I'm not sure what to do.
Thanks for your help and thank Jebus for this site (and I don't even believe in Jebus...) as I would never have gotten this far without you all.
tilt2, wm 6.5 stock rom, bloat and crippleware removed
Have you tried a torrent software on the phone itself and downloaded to your Storage Card? My thought it to eliminate the tethering part to see if that has something to do with the lock out.

hmmm... wasn't aware of a bittorrent client for WM. I've been using uTorrent on my laptop for a few years now without any problems until recently. Right now my girlfriend also connects through the xda-wifi-router and this doesn't happen (at least nowhere near the frequency it happens to me). Physical tethering is a bit of a pain as I find that the orientation of the phone (in relation to laptop) and distance from my laptop significantly affects bandwidth.
I'm thinking about un/reinstalling utorrent, and maybe changing where the tilt2 is in the room... it's been working so well for so long, I'm sure I can get it to work again.
I've also had intermittent crash problems with device.exe on the tilt2, maybe this is related?
Thanks for your help
Ok, I guess that my problem was with at&t's network (damn iPhone users.. ..). Anywho, I have not made any substantial changes, yet all of the sudden, everything works fine.
I am reluctant to call at&t as they want to verify my network settings ( that have been working fine forever but might concern them as I am the network hog, not the iPhone users.. hehe). Every time I call I call from my phone and they have a hard time understanding that it is the only phone I have available.
Strangely, the very act of having one of their techs look at my account seems to fix my problem (most of the time it is that I am traveling).
Regardless, thanks for your help!
Tried finding something on the subject but nothing definite.
My question is regardless of if you have unlimited data or not (i do have unlimited) but your contract says you are not allowed to tetther/wifihotspot your internet to a computer - is there a way for your network operator to actually check that - and if yes is there a way to block that ?
Thx in advance.
It may be possible to track how you are using your data if you have the carriers software onboard but i think if you are running a custom / international stock rom there is no way to monitor anything other than the total usage.
Not 100% sure, best of luck with it.
Hard to say, but I've tethered off my Full Monty sim and nothing has happened. Some companies will ban you like GiffGaff. Generally it should be fine but don't over do it like downloading torrents and stuff. Stick to normal browsing and it should be ok.

Thats the thing - I`m usually doing 50-70GB a month from my phone alone - and nothing happens - so I`m thinking if i do it via my pc that will nto make any difference. And I`m not running their own rom so it should be fine
if they do an IP check then yes without any roms or anything they can find out how many sub ip's are using the internet and they will block you off, but using a proxified tether (like OrBot) will make it seem as all connections from one IP.
