Desire Speech to text & Turn by Turn Nav

Not sure if this has been covered but came accross this site earlier.
http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/04/add-turn-by-turn-navigation-to-htc-desire/
I know have full voice search on my desire and don't have to type an address in Google maps, I just tell it where I want to go.
Some good tips on the site.

*Sigh*
on the other hand you could use the official Google Maps which has full Navigation.

From that link...
EDIT: Please not that as of today 21/04/2010. Googe HAVE implemented turn by turn navigation for the UK. Simply use the default maps app that came pre-installed on your device to use this functionality.

I think you are missing the point, you can search the destination by voice using the google maps.
The link I submitted has a section to replace the Desire keyboard .apk with a voice search enabled one.

You mean this one?

[INFO] Protected Apps Now in Market!

Well, I've turned on my Desire this morning, and performed the daily search for the Paypal app. There it is.
Tapatalk, and all the rest of the protected apps are now available on the generic ROM it seems!
Great news!
EDIT - All except Google Earth it seems.

I can see those two, but not Google Earth?
T-Mobile here.

I also see the applications you mention, but I still only see free apps?

I did actually, but missed it somehow.
Anyway, it's still news to some, obviously.

No worries, as the OP in the other thread I can understand how excited you were!

Seems to be a lot of demand for Google Earth. I've attached it if you guys want it.
But yes, Its not on the market on Vodafone either. Sounds like it might of been pulled altogether
KYI

Cheers for Google Earth!

Thx for the upload. Needs 23 mb rom lol. Root plz...
Oh come on, no paypal app for me in the market, strange

Argh, I cannot see the Paypal app!
I have an unbranded/unlocked Desire with the latest stock ROM (1.15.405.4) and I've set my locale to "English (United States)" with MoreLocale2. (doesn't work either with the "English (France)" settings)

UK Desire on T-Mobile, branded- have access to protected apps - and can see paypal app on market

I tried the install from #7 but I get 'there is a problem parsing the package'.

I have Google Earth, I always did have Google Earth.
Infact it was one of the first apps I installed on 27/03, I only just got protected apps today (I knew because I downloaded a copy of Abduction World Attack off the internet (it is an app I purchaed) and today I got prompted there was an update (it wasn't in my market before))
Edit: Just to add, I did also once have to do a reset and was able to redownload earth from the market again.

Most apps are showing up now in the market for me. Still can't see Google Earth though.

Here is some interesting news re "Market"
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...ate-fixes-market-problems-desire-next--685321

i have google earth in the market. bit no paid apps here in Sweden.
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk

now we have "protected" apps, can anyone suggest some ones we're missing out on?

t-mobile desire user - why are some apps not available?

e.g google earth, ebay app - both of these i've had to find the apk files and use htc sync to install em. even appbrain doesn't work with them. they're tagged but the phone says not found on market
having the prob now since there's apparently an update to google earth but i can't find it.
is it due to my phone being a t-mobile desire and not a plain jane desire?

As far as I know google earth is only released for the nexus one on the market.

ach, ok. that sucks though
at least i got a working ver now thanks to forum dudes

I had Google Earth installed on my Desire (from the market). I uninstalled it as it took too much memory. Not sure why it cant be dl and installed anymore... beats me.

Install Google Earth via the .apk, it's Nexus only at the moment.

i can find the original apk, but is there a way to update it? or get an updated apk? (guessing no, since i can only find the original)

"This app cannot be installed in your devices country" HELP!

I've found three apps that I want so far that will NOT install on my HTC One x because it's not a USA one x. These games are for USA only, and even though I live in the USA I can't install them because I have an unlocked HTC One x. Anyway around this besides rooting/flashing roms? I might have to sell the phone and wait for the AT&T version if I can't get around this.

which apps?

no such thing with my HOX.
The only thing that prevents from installing apps is your internet connection.
I live in brazil and while i was in the us i could install all the us apps i wanted.
Now im back to brazil and i can only install br apps.
Doesnt matter where your phone is from.
Maybe you are using a proxy or something?

Pogo for example.
It won't show up in the play store when I search on my phone, then when I search on market.android.com, it says the app is not compatible with my one x.

sorry to be a dummy, but when i go to the playstore, there seem to be several pogo possibilities. can you be more specific? i am in the u.s. with an international one x and can try to download to see if the same problem crops up.

pogo games by EA
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5lYS5nYW1lLnBvZ29nYW1lcyJd

the only way I could access the pogo package was by doing a Google search. It did not appear in play store on my one x. Then when I had properly logged in to my account and tried to install, there was a pop-up saying device compatibility was not confirmed. So no joy. However, when going to the play store on my one x, I was able to download Tetris without any difficulty. You may have to download the games individually. BTW I am on AT&T prepaid. Don't know if being with another phone company would change things.

Try market enabler to spoof your location.
Works for me with FotMob in the UK which will not usually allow me to see the fixture list.

i thought i would do an update on this issue. i have an unrooted phone, so market enabler is not good for me - especially since i am a long way from wanting to root. i was trying to download google voice from play store and of course it downloaded and then said it was not available for use, so i uninstalled it. then i went to dolphin browser and googled google voice, which then took me to play store and the app. i downloaded again. it worked. i assume dolphin acted as a filter of some kind pointing back to a u.s. site/user? i really don't know enough to know, but it did work, if anyone is interested.

[Q] Any MarketAccess, MarketEnabler compatible with Google Play 3.5.16?

So I constantly get the "This item cannot be installed in your country" while I have Market Enabler 1.8.1 which worked like heaven like two months ago when I get my ex-SGS2 i9100 (now I have a Galaxy Nexus). I install AOKP Rom Build 33 (which has nothing to do with this issue) and got the new Google Play updated to 3.5.16.
Ok, I tried a couple of "solutions" located in various "This item cannot be installed in your country" posts and nothing, then I check in my list of devices in Google Play and see my Galaxy Nexus under ETECSA, my cuban carrier (yes, I live in Cuba) and were in that moment when I realize that the Market Enabler 1.8.1 is not doing its "job". I know 3.5.16 is the latest version of Google Play, so Market Enabler 1.8.1 must be obsolete or something.
So my question is: Is there any Market Enabler/Access-related application compatible with Google Play 3.5.16?
Best regards.

Have you tried to first install MarketEnabler, then clear Play Store cache, start MarketEnabler and select the carrier of your choice and then lastly launch Play Store?

Well, pardon me if I sound noobie, but in GPlay I can't see such thing as Play Store cache. I can only enter to Google Play Settings but there's nothing there cache-related.
Tell me, you have the same Google Play version as me? Which app you use? Market Enabler, MarketAccess or Market Unlocker? Works fine with Google Play 3.5.16?
Thank you.

EDIT: I just read that Play Store now also checks your IP and not just the SIM issuer code, so it doesn't seem to be any working app for this.

Yes buddy, knowing that is why I first connect to a VPN in Canada, so "my" IP is a canadian one: Google can't know my real IP, believe me.
Thanks.
