I have searched forum and havent found anything useful yet, so i made new thread on this. I used igo for some time and i am not very satisfied. Can anyone recommend something else? (preferably write some specs about it, and i dont care about the price as long as it is good)
Im using navigon.Its not about the software its just the UI that is defferent. u have to check the maps.Naviteq are good .Navigon is the best for meh atleast for bulgaria
Yeah i am from Serbia, so if maps for Bulgaria are fine they should be also for me
Have a look at Sygic. It's pretty nifty.

Of course, but at least one can perform any search.
I was one of the lucky (or unlucky) few outside the UK launch in Oxford Street today. There were about 30 people in the queue and i was happy to get a Galaxy nexus.
I went to work and had a play and found that there is no FM Radio app!!!! Even though i've seen everywhere that it has a radio on board. I know the chipset is able but it should have an app too.
Can an other the other UK owners confirm if their's has an app or not?
Cheers

Stock android doesn't come with an app for the radio.

That's what i had thought before seeing the spec sheet for this phone. Why are they advertising it with if it doesn't have it??
Also i wanted to warn others if this is a must have for some people.

That's rubbish - this day and age an FM radio should be mandatory - Having second thoughts now. It was advertised with it.
Not by Google, only by people who didn't research it properly.

This day & age should have DAB and DAB+, not FM, FM is a dying platform.

In this day and age most people just listen to mp3's or internet Radio like pandora. Would you seriously not buy a phone just coz it didnt have a Radio?
The sites that claim the Nexus has an FM Radio havent done their homework very well and are going off pre-released specs.

I dont know how much bulk a DAB chip would add to a phone it would probably make it unfeasable to add it in but you are right it would be cool and much more functional.

I think you'll find FM Radio on the specs list
You guys are missing the point about poorly researched sites. The sites i'm talking about are the sites who are selling it! Misleading people and yes people still do listen to the radio. In the UK we are lucky to have some pretty good FM radio.
May take it back! (i know i will get flammed for that comment!)

I think it's fair to want an expensive gadget to have lots of features...I think we're all just saying don't be disappointed and complain when it doesn't have a feature that wasn't OFFICIALLY ever advertised as being included.

be disappointed all you want. doesnt change what google and samsung has decided they want in their phone. if you dont like it, suck it up and buy another product.
Can't you listen to most FM radio stations online these days anyway?

brilliant mate, cheers
can you link the eBay item please
Search for mifare sticker or nfc sticker see what the options are
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=160817201613&index=1&nav=SEARCH&nid=72625945009
Should do the job, but be aware most stickers have small memory on them 64k ish... Enough for tasker profiles etc
I should later today have some mifare access control cards and tags these normally have larger capacity
If they work of I may make some available. These normally have much more memory on them between 1 and 4meg

have already mate, and you can have too
Bit stupid of Samsung to make both the app and the tags USA only....
I already have an app on my phone that does this and been using it for over a week
NFC Task Launcher was like £1 in the play store
The app also links you to plenty of places to buy the tags from, if your in the UK I recommend RapidNFC.
Will the Sony NT1 tags work on the Samsung S3?
Seems to be alot of those avail on ebay...
holy hell. that is wicked cool!
here's the apk:
http://mobilflip.de/Downloads/APK/Samsung/com.samsung.tectile-1.apk
Can someone post a link to an ebay link or place that they have purchased from before and know that it is of good quality and trustworthy source? I know nothing abiut NFC chips but adter watching that video, i want some. Went on ebay and found a couple to chose from. Are most legit or would there even be much chance of getting a bad set?

Depends on what you order from them, I just got 10 white discs (stickers) that are capable of having anything written to them, even complex tasks for 65p a tag.
So I like that you can put the sticker/dot on your car dock and it automatically enables bluetooth, sets landscape mode, turns on Pandora or whatever else you program it to do automatically.
But... it sounds like when you remove the phone, it doesn't automatically go back to what the previous settings were. That's too bad.
The tag acts like a set of programming instructions. If you want it to go back to "normal" mode once you leave the car, you can create another tag for those instructions and 'tap' it once you leave the car.

Waze works fine in UK. Haven't used it for a while but some of the reported incidents had amusing descriptions, mostly blaming women drivers and their parking abilities lol

Uhm in México Waze works fine too... I started using NDrive, was the best for me for a while (In that moment I have a Xperia Mini [X10i]), it was the best, today I still use it (and works very very nice for me, but the maps are the same since then..... ¬_¬), Waze I dont like because the amount of data it use, I'm starting to using Google navigation, its very cool, and it work with Google maps so... they are actual, but it consume data traffic too, so I still preffer NDrive :silly:
