Has anyone tried out Google Maps Mobile on Universal?

Google released a j2me version of its map service which is available at http://www.google.com/gmm
In order to download the j2me application you must use a mobile device to visit the above link. Choose the high-end version.
I tried this on my Universal and it works fine! (You should use the application as if you were using a smartphone)
Although it does not support GPS at the moment, I am more than satisfied with this initial release of google maps service with a fullscreen VGA display. It's also free from money and storage card space.
There is currently a small issue that the menu sometimes doesn't show up after I tap "zoom -". I'm not sure if this is the case for all universals or not.
It is thereby worth trying this and expecting a Pocket PC version of google maps, which should definitely support screen tapping and dragging.

Having trouble with the Midlet mgr
I have tried and tried to get the google maps to my Universal; No luck what so ever; Its trying to do something but the Midlet Mgr comes up and does nothing ! Is there any reason in particular this happens ??

There was a thread for google maps somewhere in the forums, to make it work you need a IBM java midlet manager which work with google maps java app. It does not worked in my Blueangel. Soon i will get Universal and post the results

I just tried to day (18 may) on my brand new tmob mda pro, and it works... kinda. It's painfully slow and unresponsive. After the initial excitement of seeing the familiar google map world map, my enthusiasm quickly died down when the midlet starting prompting for network use authorization one after th e other. After zooming in around a few times, it completely froze.

Actually...
... I'd like to update my post above. The network I was on was using some firewall/censorship tools. When I tried it again today on my wifi connection, it worked flawlessly, apart from the annoying repetitive message asking for the right to connect. Impressive stuff to show your friends, especially thanks to the VGA screen.

Its not supporting the touch screen right?
I must say I have some issue with it, being pretty sluggish and crashing a lot, plus I cant type adresses. Pretty awful all in all. Do I need another Java VM?
Anyway, it would be cool if it worked, because Pocket streets actually sucks a lot regarding the map layout. Anyone got mor tips for such apps?

The java applet does rely highly on the quality of connection though, otherwise it is easy to get stuck on the screen. Likewise, some functions do not seem to work properly since it isn't a stable version. Based on Java, it is also reasonbly slow.
This should originally be designed for a phone and I guess there would probably be a PPC version which supports most of the WM + touchscreen features.
It can't be said as a fantastic tomtom replacement yet but I can foresee that in some near future.

well, If only opera allowed the user-agent string to be modified, we could actually just browse maps.google.com and be done with it. But noooooooo.... for some reason the user-agent string can't be changed. Arrrrg.

actually I can visit maps.google.com normally with PIE and get a simplified version of map service which provides the map as plain graphic files (like jpg or gif). The graphic map cannot of course be dragged or tapped, and is in broken colours.
It won't be a good way of google to improve maps.google.com since this calls for too many modifications in PIE and hence can't be eligible. Comparing with the slow pace of MS I would rather believe google will be a bit faster to produce a reader to their own maps.

Well, Google Maps Mobile works on my T-Mobile MDA Pro, but just barely...
For every single keystroke, it asks me:
"Google Maps" wishes to access the network, which might use call time. This MIDlet suite is not from a trusted source.
Allow this time?
[ No ] [ Yes ]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I can't find a way to permanently allow it to access the network. In the midlet's security settings, I can only choose between "No" or "Oneshot", for network access.
Anyone know how to permanently allow this? Or how to make a MIDlet "trusted"?
I'm running on the built-in MIDlet manager (intent Java MIDlet Manager, Runtime JTWI 1.0: v10.1.7.666 (Build 20051117)).
Thanks,

Google Maps was working fine on my HTC Wizard before I upgraded to a newer ROM, now it's also saying the same thing:
"Google Maps" wishes to access the network, whic might use call time. This MIDlet suite is not from a trusted source. Allow this time?
I remember when I tried it previously it only asked this once, not it's asking so often it's impossible to use google maps properly.
If anyone has an idea please post!

I love windows Live search, I can't believe somethings better, guess I'll have to download google and give it a spin

cab downloads, but install is unsuccessful no matter if its from the storage card or device

It seems to install and work ok for me from my storage card. FWIW I'm running ROM 1.35.255.2.

I liked Windows Live Search a lot, but mainly because it just plain worked. The java midlet version of GMM was instable if it would even work at all. Google just works better. It also allows you to look up contacts and use them in your searches. Windows Live Search doesn't have that option. I'm sure future versions of Windows Live Search will up the ante and Google will, in turn, raise the bar even higher. Yay for competition.
FYI, I'm also running the SA 1.35 ROM and it installed without any issues. I just went to www.google.com/gmm and opened/ran the installer from there.

Same rom, but no success, "cab installation unsuccessfull" message, even tryng to close ALL active processes

archive corrupted!

Install and all worked fine for me this morning. Maybe save it somewhere first... then try the install? (That's the method that worked for me.)

worked for me too

what about google talk for mobile ???

download the cab on ur PC, active sync and move it to your phone. Their OTA download is messed up.
I tried it a couple times and noticed the file sizes were different. the cab file should be approx 607k. I kept getting 300k when I was getting it over the air directly to my phone.
I went to www.google.com/gmm on my pc, got the wm5 version cab, put it on my phone and installed from my phone just fine.

It doesn't have hybrid map view (streets on the aerial pictures) which Live search has. Actually, live search feels a bit better to me still.

works fine copying the cab over for me on the Vario II, pretty neat.

sure it does, just hit Menu, Change View.
I cant get my Bluetooth GPS to work. After i hit track with GPS, it errors out and brings up some help file and talks about editing settings in the control panel if you have a BT gps, but i have no idea what its talking about.

what the heck. There's no detail at all for Japan, although google maps has the detail and so does the midlet version.
The midlet, however, can't do searches in Japanese which is why I was glad to try out this new thing.

wow, what a great app. i already used the java midlet before but that didn't work so good. this one does! even the satelite view is quite quick via umts!
the install was ok in one try. i used iexplorer on my tytn and went to the link www.google.com/gmm there i installed the cab file.

I had this problem - here's what I did...
If you haven't got Windows live installed - download the cab form here and install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3631409&postcount=3019
After install if "Windows Live" still hasn't appeared in your Titanium, do this:
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CWindowsLive
Change the "Disabled" key from 1 to 0.
Hope this works for you

I didnt want to open a new thread, but is there any way of making any google quries right through Titanium ?
Ive looked for it for quite some time, but there doesnt seem to be anywhere I can find one.

windows live
hi! i install windows live on my hp ipaq voice messenger its install but not started why???

if you dont see it in titanium then I wouldn't go mucking with the registry if you don't know what you are doing... in the windows marketplace theres a homescreen customizer... just download that and you can add what you want to it.

Remote desktop mobile - h e l p please

Hi People
I'm searching for a great remote desktop mobile for my new HD2 and have problems to find something good.
I'd love to install LogMeIn, but i suppose is impossible at this moment,
This Night i found this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFiDZ_wBAtM&NR=1&feature=fvwp
I suppose is from RDM plus, i install a demo version 3.7.6 and it is very different compared to the Remote desktop mobile from youtube Video.
Where can i find the remote desktop mobile from youtube video?
Need your help, please
Thanks

That's the remote desktop client that comes with Windows mobile 6.5. It's in your start menu, in the tools folder

boss the remote desk top shown in you tube vedio is same as in hd2 .........
its not different ........

Logmein - Ignition works just fine.
or as the others just said - just use the one that came with your HD2.

just wondering whether anyone could help us to set it up step by step...
also just wondering do you have to have a router or it can also work on wireless USB broadband (thats what i have)

I used the theme in our forum for this, but I didnt succeeded with it, because Im using PPPoE internet and when I set everything, their appears conflict and the internet drops...

I found the app already, but what I'm looking for is how I can setup the use of a remote desktop gatewayserver?
The server I address is an IP-address, but in the Windows 7 setting, I need to specify this gatewayserver.
I'm no admin, so I can't install something @ server side.
Thanks for your help!
Koen
PS I was even trying to run only Remote App, instead of Remote Desktop...

First off - well done on getting it working
Secondly, install BsB Tweaks (if you haven't already) as that will let you fix both zooming and auto-rotating in it.
In BsB you can say you want to add an app for either zooming or rotating (you do them seperately, but it's the same process). You'll have to shake the device to let BsB know which app to make changes for. Just make sure you do it on a connected session (in remote desktop), NOT the login screen. They're 2 different things.

Where to get apps besides Marketplace?

Hey everybody, I've had this Snap from US Cellular for a few months now. Searched and searched. Marketplace doesn't have much of a selection. Is this phone just not compatible with many apps? or am I just missing something? It has WM 6.1, Tech said that it USC will be adding updates to WM 6.5 on their website, but so far no luck with that. Does anyone know of a custom ROM I could use on my phone?

Where??
Of course here at XDA!!!

Well i've looked everywhere and no one will help me find one that will work on my phone. thanks for the help

apps for windows standard
I've got the Ozone, so we are in the same boat app wise. You are right re: apps...Most everything out there (even on XDA as far as I can see) is touchscreen, so you have to dig to get standard apps.
Some that I like:
- Agenda One (do not get SBSH calendar...there is a bug in it which keeps it from working on standard 6.5)...Great calendar and PIM
- the AP Mobile app
- Evernote
- Facebook
- Google Maps
- Netflix (you can get this on the Win App website)
- Opera Mobile or the Opera Mini beta for WinMobile (browsers)
- Skyfire (browser)
- Pocket Bible
- Pocket Quicken
- Tipster (a tip calculator)
- Wunderradio (great program that lets you stream terrestrial radio stations that have an online presence over your snap...LOVE IT)
- WMWifirouter - combined with the Internet Connection Sharing program you can find here on XDA turns your phone into a walking hotspot. Pretty cool.
- Office Mobile 2010 is downloadable now from the Win App website
