Anyone got buzz.google.com working on the Nexus One? I always get the desktop view when I go to that site.
and I have Cyanogen 5.0Beta4. I seem to lost the ability to use mobile websites like espn, instead i get the full desktop version.
Thanks

If you lost the ability to see the mobile pages then you need to install the latest MT addition from Cyanogen. There was an issue with the first MT add on he put out and fixed it in the second one.
I recommend going back and re applying the MT add on and you should be able to see mobile pages again.
You can also D/L Google Maps 4.0 with built in Buzz support. Just go to the market, click on the downloads tab, and the update should be waiting for you!
Anyone knows why I don't have the update promted yet? Is it US only? (I'm oversea).
Also, if I go to buzz website on my N1, I can see the interface, but if I post a Buzz.. it keep spinning a small wheel in front of it, and it never completes (nor posts my Buzz)
Any ideea?
I got the same issue. Maybe it is because our gmail hasn't been updated with Buzz yet.
update google maps in the market
Anyone else find it subliminally retarded that Google puts the Nexus one behind the Iphone on its Buzz page ?
heh yeah, I noticed that myself...
However, here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/mobile/buzz/ there is an iPhone surrounded by 2 N1's.
Go figure.
I understand google though - people with androids will probably get buzz anyway in some future update (won't be surprised if it will be come a builtin app/link like google goggles) - but the real challenge is for them to get iPhone users to use it, pushing them more towards the google cloud.

click get buzz on you phone. you will be happy too see it has a nexus one first then a iphone, followed by another N1. if that helps you a bit lol
I'm quite liking buzz. It's so easy for me to see what people in my area are saying and I can just strike up a conversation with them.
Initially I thought 'How will they get people to leave Twitter to do this' then you realise pretty much everyone is already registered (I'm following people already who have never heard of Buzz!) it's just if they choose to use it.

After a few tries I got to post a buzz both from the page in the browser, and from google maps.
But, now I can't delete the two posts...
Lots of spinning wheels. Seems unfinished.
But I like the idea. Hope it will work better in the coming days

I had those issues too - read that it might have to do with the accepting terms thing not registered properly so I wiped my Browser cache and rebooted.
Seems to still do it but then later I'll see it was posted. Also seems to do it straight after a reboot, but then become sluggish. Still glitchy I guess
Dayz
Edit - Just updated maps and the Buzz Layer thing seems to work better than the one via mobile google. What will be useful I think once it takes off, is that you can pop over to a place and look for any buzz about traffic or weather problems that people might post from a location.

Thanks. Reflashing the mt addon allowed me to see mobile pages again. Buzz works fine now.
I've updated my Maps application to version 4 via Market, but I am not seeing the Buzz layer in Maps.
I wonder is it because this is being rolled out on a country by country basis?
The buzz layer is not enabled by default, you need to press the options, and then choose layers->buzz.
The easiest way to check if your gmap version is correct is to go to options->about - it should be 4.0.0 (#4046).

Thanks. My Maps is of the version you have listed. However when I go to Layers, I do not see the Buzz layer available for selection. Maybe, like Navigation, this Buzz layer will be turned on for other countries bit by bit?
Anyway I'll wait and see how it goes.

Even if the cab was released, I'm pretty sure it checks your phone number anyway, considering the way the browser works is completely server side.
Here is your cab and all I did was use the search function... You should try it!!!! 10th tab from the left and 3rd from the right!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378549
As mentioned above, you need to be registered for the beta and they are the ones that allow you to use it.
i'm near fed up with the skyfire beta.
i signed up January 28 (day ONE!) at about 3pm, and still have not receieved an invitation to the beta. They claim to be going first-come, first-serve, but if that's the case, a hell-of-a-lot of people signed up within hours of hearing about it.
They just sent me an update email, saying they'll try to get everyone in Beta 1 by the end of April.
Also, I see no reason to be fed up, considering they're providing you this service. They don't actually owe you anything, let's remember.

ummmm...... yea what he say
he really does have a point tho
Ive had the software for a little over 2 weeks now and unfortunetely im extremely unimpressed. The software is incredibly slow on my mogul. The only plus side I have to using this software is to watch you tube videos which Core Player already does in a much easier to usse interface. I'll get back to it once Beta 2 rolls around.
i also signed up on the first day and just got invited to use it a few days ago. i wouldn't worry too much, as mentioned before its really not that good. picture this... remote desktop on someone elses server, with sound, thats it. Its no opera mini, but its coming along slowly. Honestly its really not worth waiting for until version 1.0, and their on .5 still.
I got my invite about a week ago. And btw, i am from Finland. So they now allow non-us people too.
I love it. It's slow to browse but:
- Internet map-services work! A local one has sharper satellite pictures
- I can wach CNETTV.com! Picture isnt that good but audio comes always clear. (it also saves the zoom location on bookmarks. So i just click the bookmark and watch)
- Internet radio stations work! The ones that are flash. (like http://www.finetune.com/wii/ )
- I noticed that it also has atleast .wmv plugin installed on the server-side. So you can play direct-video links too.
I've had it for about 2 weeks, and I think it definitely will be the best browser when all the bugs are worked out. It can render basically any page on the internet perfectly. If you go to Youtube, for instance, it looks as if you went there in IE or Firefox on your regular computer. All of the flash stuff works. Google maps? Yes, you can use street view mode, and it's pretty snappy too.
It has two modes for touch input, which I will call cursor mode and hand mode (that's what the icons look like). This way, you can decide if you want to pan the entire webpage with hand mode or if you want to interact directly with a zoomed in flash applet with the cursor mode.
I signed up for the beta a few months back.

Much the same really. Just seems to add Buzz and move a couple of options around. Nothing special

This feature was already present in google maps 3.3.1.

You access streetview by holding anywhere .. box with address will popup .. you click that .. and then you can select streetview from details about the place.

Buzz is new, other than that I think it's the same old (unless the Wikipedia layer is also new - haven't noticed it before anyhow).
It'll be very interesting to see what Google's plans are for Buzz in the future. It's a rather cool app/idea as is.
Hmm.. The GPS accuracy seems to have improved..
Also when you tap on a particular point on a map.. it loads info about that place in a pop up..

That was in previous version .. that is nothing new.
Buzz .. I see .. well .. we'll see
hmm
I dont understand, how do u activate the street view function?
Tap and hold a point on the map and a balloon will pop-up with options. It may take a second or two to appear but a link to Streetview will appear in that list IF streetview is available in the area that you are looking at.
I haven't noticed anything new (other than Buzz) but the pinch-to-zoom feature still lacks accuracy. The point on the map I'm looking at (for instance, my location) always moves off to the top-right as I zoom in or out.
Since the zoom is not fluent, I see no point in pinch-zooming. Buttons works just as well.
Actually starting with this version I'm seeing the app use the integrated compass to indicate heading.
I tried installing that special GPS driver to get the compass to work in GMaps a few days ago and couldnt get it working so uninstalled it... but this version of GMaps just did it on its own!

You don't have whole Buzz .. only map related Buzz. You can turn it on in Layers. New icon will appear to add new map-Buzz. Generally you mark some point on the map, you add comment to it, and then all your followers can see that point too, if they add Buzz layer.

No. I wish google made new version using 3D acceleration, for both smooth zooming and streetview (or even navigation as it is on Android). I hope such version is in progress. On the other hand, calling this version new major makes me think that they don't take WM platform much seriously.

The version on the phone isn't as old as the version number makes it look...and it was the most current version available when Google had to provide it to be included in the master ROM's that get loaded on the phones.
I didn't know anything was out past 4.0...but I just went to www.google.com/mobile/maps and downloaded the 4.1 cab from there, you'll find it attached
Thank you Sirp!
I just did something dumb, I d/l what I thought was 4.1 off of Brothersoft website, I check 100 times before I d/l and it said it was 4.1 compatible with all WM device and it has a list. I d/l it and found it, it was 3.0.2, ahhhhh! I guess this 4.1 can overwrite, hopefully.

Ok, so this was announced earlier today and I saw it and thought "meh". I had a browse about and still thought "meh", but then I discovered the fact that I can install apps on my phone directly from the browser.
When I first tried it, it didn't work, but every other app after that was installing on my phone within seconds of my clicking the install button. So basically, I can install apps on my phone from any internet ready computer.
Thanks Google. You just made something sweet a little sweeter!
Enjoy, my friends

make sure you setup your gmail account on the phone and access the market then exit, then it will work. I had the same issue until I did that, cause the FAQ says that will happen if you havent visited market recently.
Now this is cool, utterly great find, no more market on the phone.
BTW, you dont have to access market with https, you can access the same page without the cert error using http.

Check under My market account and then go to the tab "settings" see if your phone appears there, make model carrier. cause both my HD2's show up, there. also on that same screen on the top right there is a link "dont see your device" might be of help to your situation.

I can't get apps to download to my device. When in my PC browser, I am logged into market, can see my device in the pull down menu and it says it will be installed onto my device shortly, but nothing happens. I tried rebooting, logging out of Talk and back in, downloading the app directly from the market android app (which works, but doesn't solve the app delivery via browser), and also trying downloading from my android browser. No luck. Anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: Nevermind. Flashed pongster's latest Ginger Rom and all is good.
Anyone else having this problem with the Market? When I'm browsing the Market and look at a description of an item, I'll go back to the list and it returns me to the top of the list. Wouldn't be so bad, but when you're browsing through a list of 1,500 items and look at something half way through, it's a real pain to browse all the way back to the spot where you were.

yeah it happens to everyone it gets super annoying i dont browse the market becuase of it
I prefer the website over the app on the tablet. It still needs work, like reviews/ratings.
Glad to know I wasn't losing what's left of my mind. Someone told me about appbrain. Not sure how it works yet. I did create an account from my desktop. Do I just browse from the Xoom and download directly? Is there a way to tell if the app will work on a tablet or just download and try?
This has been complained about since the very beginning (not going to dig up the old threads this time). There are several lists/threads floating around with wishes for the next update(s) and one item was always the market. Not only can you not rate but also the auto-update for apps doesn't seem to function properly AND in the overview or search results it will not show if you have an app installed already. BIG FAILS in my book.
I don't recall this being a problem on the cheap tablets I had before. Then again...they didn't have as many apps available either.

It's not a problem of the tablet but the Honeycomb OS. I have no idea why they messed up the market so badly
I second the fact that they must add reviewing/rating to the app. The list thing also gets annoying, I am really hoping that the Google IO event will bring updates to Gingerbead and Honeycomb.
