GPS Dashboard: True free Navigational GPS app.

Honestly speaking i was fed up of GPS apps and maps...there wasnt a single free app which could just use my GPS chip and tell me without maps my heading, my altitude, my speed and my coordinates..
and which wud work purely on GPS chip..no data usage no need of downloaded maps..
i dont need maps all the time..i mean there has to be a way to use GPS without having maps.
so here it is:

found this cool app which is free for Xperia:
http://www.handango.com/catalog/Pro...25&platformId=30&productId=248650&sectionId=0
u need to login to download but its free.
a very simple app which uses your GPS chip.
very useful when u r out there somewhere in the world.
it also gives u the sky view of how many satellites are there above u.

i guess all of u must be already knowing this
but i love its simplicity

I had no idea of it. Will try that! Does it use ONLY gps chip, no data transfer?

Have downloaded it to try, have to wait until morning to see what each meter is displaying.

Nice !
Check also a nice free gps software list here.
My preferred is actually richesseGPS.

Er, what? Froyo does local searches?

Hi,
I was playing around with the new (fast, fast!) global search from froyo and noticed that when I type a whole word that might correspond to a business (e.g. restaurant, bakery) I get an entry for it. The funny thing it even shows the rating and the phone number, and when clicked gives me the option to call, show on map and even add to contacts!
How crazy is that? Did you know it?

Mine doesn't do that. Is there a preference or something?

It only does it using the new google searching widget. It works pretty well actually, even in a little village like mine

Yeah it's a great little feature, will come in handy for sure.

All I can say is, wow!

Doesn't seem to work for me in Norway.

I think you have to check an option in the privacy settings for it to work, but you don't need the search widget: pressing the search button in the home screen gives the same results.
Anyway, does it happen to you that the results it gives are farther away than other existing ones? E.g. you get a bakery two km away, when you know there is one at a hundred metres and it appears in the maps too.

It doesn't work that way, it doesn't do complex searches (e.g. you picking the place). The second try should have worked, though. If I search "pizza" I definitely get a local result.
Here's a screenshot I took last night, I just checked and it works for "pizza" too:

By the way, I asked about the issue here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=6c98ee37fab6fbbb&hl=en

and cloud installation works like a charm! however, not all applications are supported on Notion Ink Adam.
Yes, i'm rooted. Probably won't work if you're not rooted since you dont have google service and you're not "logged" onto your google account

Are you Rooted? If so, anyone who hasn't rooted, please tryit and let us know!

Im not rooted atm and it works, but some apps arent compatible with the Adam, Google Maps/Google Earth for example.
Seems u still need Market installed since it loads info from it so u can download. So its useless for the adam currently.

Thanks guys for keeping us updated!
A bunch of us don't have or Adams yet and we live vicariously through you. Thanks again for posting your updates.

I wonder how it will determine that an app is compatible with the Adam. Does it go by characteristics (eg screen resolution, CPU, memory, ...) or does the developer have to specify what devices (or all) will work (eg what GameLoft does on their web page).

that's a good question. i think they just list it as an unknown device in their database. i always wonder what happens if modify the default.prop file to something like Samsung Tab....

Right. So we may have to play with this file to be able to buy compatible software if Adam is not listed.
Buying at GameLoft for my Galaxy Fascinate can be painful. When they gave away Dungeon Hunter for the holidays I had to find a version for one of the sister phones because they had not tested it on mine so it did not show when I went to their site on my phone. I hope they figure out a better way.

My guess is if you have market installed and working, it should show up as a device on your "my market account" as an option.

Another proof: Apple is spying on you!

Ok, this ain't really a developpement post [sorry for that!] but I'm sure that, like for me, it will makes you real glad to be an Android user.
I kindly invite your to read this thread:
http://technaute.cyberpresse.ca/nou...urdhui-sur-cyberpresse_267_article_ECRAN1POS2
it is in french, but if you like to call yourself a dev, then I'm sure you know how to use a webpage translator .
In short: iphones and ipad are kepping unsecured data of all your geo-localisation on your phone and any computer that you synch to.
Isn't this hughe and nice of them !!??
So attention all of you cockold of this world, Apple with all it's kindness is making your life easier to confirm your status.
hehehe!

Big writeup today on Tech Republic as well. If iOS was open source they could rip it out like when Sprint CIQ was ripped out of the Epc 4G. Thanks K0nane!

You gon be disappointed:

Is that true? Does anyone know where is that database stored in Android?
And even if this data is being recorded, wouldn't it be possible to fix it as Android is open source?

Its stored on google's servers and yes you can turn this off on the android so none of the applications can track you! Killing your gps/3g/and data means they cant track you there are even anti gps apps that will tell them your in some other country. So just because some apps can doesnt mean they always do like on iOs. Its all about what apps you have installed really and what they're doing the easiest way to see this is with adb....adb logcat command while your phone is plugged in usb. Youll see google services running calling on your gps location and data collection you can see the code its plain as day!
Heres an old ss i had of what it looks like!↓↓↓

What the guy said below me is not true but hey whatever you want to believe... They store your data because its worth money plain and simple...
Its worth money to marketing and analytical firms! Google knows more about you than YOU do!
They know your darkest secrets whatever you typed into google they know...
They've even developed software to collect and categorize all of it... So saying that Google is the devil LoL

Hotstar

HI Guys, I have just installed Hotstar. This is an live streaming app. I am from Dubai and when I try to stream any channels it give me the error "this content is currently not available in your region." is there any work around to this.

Bro this is an indian app so it wont work outside india but there is way to work ..go here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IIa9gjShNY&feature=youtu.be

Anybody has workaround for this? Even I am not able to view few shows on that App. I tried using VPN which has Indian IP. But I think they have some other way to figure out the location.

I can give you solution. Go to Google, search any show like westworld season 1 episode 1 hotstar. Google will give you some link to open that program in hotstar. Now just watch the show and enjoy. Bas duaoon main yaad rakhna.

It's never too late :laugh: xD

It's a really common query but the most frustrating one. Although I am a paid subscriber of Hotstar, but whenever I go outside of India it doesn't work. Like this one time, I was on a tour in the US and wanted to watch Game Of Thrones in free time but got the same error that you just mentioned. So, I used this nifty little hack to go about the issue of geo-restriction and watched Game Of Thrones and other favorite TV series and sports outside of India from anywhere in the world. I hope this trick would surely be helpful. Peace.

Hotstar India does not work in the UAE.
I guess you are getting something like this:

I recommend you to find so called Smart DNS for streaming services.
It allows you to watch Hotstar in Dubai by simple DNS changing procedure.

Thanks for that even though the post was Four years ago .
