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.

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
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:

http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/discu...de9d6130126d76c1294007d16&messageit.offset=30
Looks like it's a t-mobile ****-up...
R.
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.
Hi All,
Just tried buying an app from the marketplace and got this message:
"Can't get this info right now, please try again later"
I just spent about an hour searching various forums, and there seems to be a real difference of opinion about what this message means. Some posters suggest that it indicates a problem at MS's end (i.e. they're doing maintenance, something is wrong with Windows Live etc), and so the best thing to do is sit tight. Others seem to think it is user problem, and you need to reset the phone, clear the history in IE, turn on/off cookies in IE, etc... Given I didn't change anything on my phone and this just started happening for no obvious reason, I'm inclined to think its an MS problem. Anyone else dealt with this? Advice would be helpful as I don't want to waste time trying all the suggested solutions online...
I have two devices (Trophy). One is OK, but the other the same that you. All are update with the february update...
Just spoke with Microsoft support and they weren't very helpful. Suggested it might be something to do with the IP address the phone is using (I'm currently in Canada, although my Windows Live / Zune account is in the US). That doesn't really make sense to me, as I have been using the phone in Canada since the Feb update with no problems - why should it suddenly have a problem with the IP address? Also, I can still use my Zune Pass...
Sorry my english. I uninstall all aplications with updates in marketplace in the device that not connect. But remains one: Xbox Live Extras. With this device I can't connect to Xbox live. ¿Can you connect to Xbox live? The another device that it's right connect without problems...
Today it works... This night made changes in the profile of XBox Live... But I dón't know if had been casuality...
I have the same problem with my hd7, in spain, since this afternoon i cant buy anything on the market place... xbox live works, zunepass works but no market i cant get nothing even free stuff does not work... any ideas?
Count me in on the Market app install problem. Been trying all day to install some apps and they won't. I get the same message as the OP.
quantum on att here. same problem off and on. i find that if i wait for a few seconds (as if to have the marketplace dumbware to finish loading), and then tap "install" it usually goes through. when it goes through, it says "purchasing" rather than showing only the dots.
Haven't had any problems since I did a hard reset and then "rebuilt" the phone with a Canadian Windows Live account. Can't access my Zune Pass on the phone anymore, of course...
Any chance the update did something to our phones? Has everyone posting here had the update?

Not mine. Still 7004
The same for me with 7004, 7008 and nodo update.
I test one thing : changing my windows live id wth another email adress
it works like a chrm
so th bug is due to the windows live account and not the market
grrrr, i loss all the programs i've been purchasing before!

The Market seems to be working now. Apps are now installing.
Can anyone else confirm that the problem has now resolved itself? I'm not all that eek to hard reset my phone again and go back to my original live account if it's not going to make a difference...
I just got this problem now! grr, hard reset for no reason, ffs!
Hard reset and set up with US-based account. All working perfectly again. I suspect this problem has something to do with our Live accounts at Microsoft's end. If it happen to me again, I think I'll just wait for things to (hopefully) resolve themselves.
I was having this issue for a week now and fixed it today about 5 hours ago actually. I was looking to see what I may have done recently to cause the issue and I had cookies disabled. Once I re-enabled it, everything worked again.
Well it Works for me again...
First time I've had issues with it. It will let me get to the point where I select try or buy but then when I go to verify it just continuously loads. I tried afterwards on the PC and it just says none of the above items are available for purchase. This was initially found on the moron test but I am having the same issue occur with all apps.
I had that happen about a week ago on the weekend. Come Monday, the market started working again.

Neither could I. And some of the apps were paid apps that needed updating. It was quite annoying. But I was glad to see it working again come that Monday, without the need to do a hard reset.
yup, having that issue here too, i think it's tied to either your account, or your location... not quite sure why tho...
I have had issue with market place a couple of times. Mostly the update won't succeed and I'll need to delete the app then install it again.
Having the same problem here to. Can't update or download apps (sweden).
I'm having the same problem on the phone and trying to install from the Zune PC marketplace.
Me too
yes, same in Dalian China from 19th Mar.
I tried to install apps from Zune on my PC but got error "None of the selected items is available for purchase". Anyway it worked well before. And then I tried to install using marketplace on my Focus but got another error "Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while."
Some Chinese uses got same error, but some can still download/install apps from marketplace. So it's very strange issue. Is it related to my live id?
Anyone can help on this? I only found US ZUNE support number but I cannot dial.

Just wait a day. Monday will bring it back to normal. It effects users at different times. MS might be doing some kind of tuning to the market to help refine it. At least that's what I rationalize it to be.
It's working this morning, I was able to download a few free apps and buy some songs without any issues.
I still have the Problem, and also never got that pre-nodo update... Truly sucks...

With Mango Beta, it seemed quick at first, but searching the marketplace takes AGES, and in some cases times out. Working with the marketplace is fast enough, but the search features are very slow. Has anyone else noticed this?
HD7
Yes, I'm glad you ask so I know it's not just me. I'm not on Mango and it's painfully slow for me as well.
Same issue for me, glad am not alone
btw.. its on the phone and Zune also . >.<
I think something may be up with Marketplace atm, I keep getting "not available". Something server-side I imagine.
Casey
Same aswell seems market for me has gone down temporarily. Hope it fixes soon
Sent from my HTC Trophy using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Yup, same problem here on my non-Mango device. Slow response and I get "an unknown error occurred" when downloading directly from Zune software. Seems like the Marketplace is acting up at the moment.
Same here,thank you guys.
You won't be able to browse, stream, download, or buy things at the Zune marketplace or on Zune.net. We're working on the problem. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience.

This is global problem

Just tried again as I wanted to get the Flightaware app and marketplace seems to be back. Not 100% smooth but it's close to being fully operational.
...and, it's gone again. Must be some angry Android users, seeing all the cool new apps showing up this week.
yep, both Zune sw and phone timing out with error
Mango has been stupid slow on picture take ins... this makes sense...
i'm using Mango and I cant download app from marketplace.
any other person has this problem?
the same.
I'm in china
Back working fine for me, UK.
