Hello all,
I bought Sygic for Android last night and am very pleased with how the Desire handles SatNav.
The only issue i have is the sound.
I cant get the voices to play and its completely silent. The phone makes noise, its not on silent, Sygic is enabling the sounds, but i get nothing.
Does anyone else have this problem, similarly, does anyone have the vocies working ?
Ta
go co-pilot works a treat
One step ahead. Went and bought it this afternoon. Does tts work in it using native tts?
Just installed this and all works fine, bit slow going through the menus but voices are working. Will do till tomtom get their finger out.
What's the exact version of Co-pilot that you guys have?

Thanks.
Seems like a good cheap option until Tomtom bring out their version.

I have Sygic on mine, and the sounds is fine. I get correct turn-by-turn instructions when routing, and speed camera warnings come through as well. Not sure where your problem lies though - seems a little odd. Perhaps re-installing might help?
Ta, but ive binned it in favour of Copilot now.
Cheers
I dunno about their current product, but their new one, Aura, looks rather tasty. Anyone know when they're due to release the Android version?

According to their website, it's available on App store in the near furture. No word on an Android download as yet though...

Aura is very nice I hope they also have Android version.
I guess, Co-Pilot is now the cheapest option until Auro is available !

I know you no longer have Sygic but I think I may have found the cause of the problem. I had Sygic on my HD2 so it was free to transfer it to my Desire but I also had no voices. I just tried disabling voice to text by selecting Touch Input in the Tap to compose window, restarted Sygic and now I seem to have sound again.
Did you have voice to text working when you had your problem with Sygic?

I'm surprised TomTom haven't introduced this 3D Landmark, etc to their mobile products (or any other?). In fact the design hasn't changed in ages!
I've got both the Sygic and Co-Pilot products running on my Android. Not had a chance to properly test them out. Co-Pilot seems a bit more 'polished' appearance wise.
Had a response from Sygic today
Thank you for your e-mail. I would like to inform you that application Aura will be available also on Android device. In this moment I can't give your exact date, but it should be available during upcoming couple of weeks. Thank you for understanding!
Hope 'couple of weeks' isn't a typo. Unfortunately, in a later email they said they did not think there would be an upgrade path from Mobile Maps.
I tried to rentall Sygic to my Desire tonight but it cmae up with the error that it was already registered on another device. REALLY ??
That was the last thinkg i did with it. Copilot reigns supreme on my phone now.
Whats the price of co-pilot on the android market?
I don't want to spend a fortune on software the phone is expensive enough

I will definitely wait for the Sygic Aura, really like its 3D maps ...
Too bad, they wont provide upgrade path from Sygic Mobile Maps ...
Right now, I will use TomTom on WM
Hi guys,
I am new here and forgive me if I am asking something that was already discussed before.
Is there a way to install Skype on this device? I tried to go to Skype android section and download it from there but it always requesting phone number and type....
Regards
I FOUND A WAY TO FAKE OUT SKYPE!!!!
1st off let me start, i have the 1.0c mod added to my A7, and i extracted the vending .apk for 2.2.6 marketplace from the update zip found here on xda, cleared out the cache and data, and FC the marketplace, then installed the apk like a normal program, so i have an updated marketplace as well...
but like most of us at this point, when we try and logon to skype it gets caught in a loop...
im very short on time, so ill be quick... ive also got an N1 running cryo 6.1
i get to the login screen for skype for both devices, i have my GF's account entered on the A7 and my account entered on the N1, both have WiFi turned on, i press signon on both devices at the exact same time, and the A7 gets pasted the loop and logs on to skype, i have to very quickly logoff of skype on the N1, and the A7 works!
it does cause a lot of FC's but atleast its progress, and maybe a direction for the devs to look into....
ill give much more detailed walkthru when i get back tonight, or maybe tomorrow...
Whats wrong with skype? I logged into skype and made a phone call to my house with no trouble except when i tried to end the call, it locked up.
My Skype sits at logging in forever. What version of Skype are you running fisher?
Where did you find Skype android version to download? ...and I believe that it is in Skype interest to fix the bugs and make it work on Elocity or any other android device using WiFi or 3G...
Regards
Help - Skype
Same issue - trying to use Skype downloaded from Marketplace (A7 using Dexter version 1c) - seems to be stuck with getting logged in - got it to work once, but I am not able to repeat - please advise ...........thanks - Love the A7 just wish I could address these shortcoming
Installed Skype 1.02 for Android build 1.0.0.659...cannot make it work ...whenever I try to log in it stops working ..sometimes it shows the message "logging in" but it cannot complete the atsk...Have anybody made Skype work on Elocity?
Thanks
as stated earliler i have been able to get skype running on several occasions...
skype currently does not have a valid electronic signature for the tablet, or the tablet the build.prop was copied from...
that is why when we attempt to logon to skype, its checking for the signature, getting caught because it is getting mixed signals from our device and getting stuck in the 'loop'
but my N1 does have a valid signature... which i think is why skype is getting faked out when both devices are logging on from the same wireless network... the signature is going out from my N1, and the tablet is logging on...
Interesting...Unfortunately I do not have phone to use it to log at the same time...and I am trying to do it over WIFI
I bet you Skype will fix it eventualy
Regards
just a quick note.
it has been written in forum for a long time, that Skype somehow is protected from being used over mobile data connections.. im not sure how that affect regular users, but they have done something for US users to protect against Skype use. but this was all primarily on mobiles, im not sure how this fits into a tablet being used.
You may be right...the Android so far was always connected with the smartphones...tablets are very new thing and have been coming out only in last 6 +/- months with latest version iteration of 2.1, 2.2 ans hopefully this summer 3.0.
Regards

skype works fine with ElocityMod v1.3 , but again in US, coming from a USA ip address you might be blocked by Skype, so a signin is not possible.
but its works and i can call using elocity here (from Denmark)

Weird. I'm in Russia
I installed Market by self (it isn't hard for me) and don't use DexterMod yet)
There are some difference, maybe some libraries absent.
Will install DM and check soon.
In Canada, Skype works fine. Now if only Skype had video calling everything would be golden.

thats explains it.. the build.prop of official rom is not approved by Skype so it fails.. you need a different rom install or "steal it from my mod", it will solve it you dont want the new version.

I forgot that one thats was actually one of the issues found, but good you found the solution..
I am in USA and Skype works fine....no video beacuse it is not supported in Android version. I have mod installed though...before it did not want to log in.
Chatting and talking works great...

Hey folks,
I've been trying to install Sygic Mobile 10 with India Maps on it, even after following all the steps properly, I still am not able to get the app running on my phone. Please help me!
Although you can select wildfire on the sygic website( which says that it is very much compatible on wildfire handset) ; whenever i run that application it exits without showing any error.
running 2.2.1 froyo
Mod edit
Dont double post; edit the first post if you want to correct something or be patient till someone who feels capable of replying your question replies..
i had the same problem with some versions, others worked better. but i should point out they were all "flower powered"
i think the one that woked the best for me on stock 2.2.1 was 10.8.16, but even this one crashed when cruising the map. i now have cm7 and 10.8.24, and it works perfect.
i've downloaded sygic 10 8.14 on stock 2.2.1 froyo wildfire. it crashes intermitently while cruising through maps or menu items or state/city listing.
seems like memory handling issues. need find 8.16 version to install along with maps 4.1 ...
does anyone know i can download ?
for CM7 i have to wait till someone come up with HBOOT rooting of 1x solution
the more i use sygic, the more dodgy it seems. the program can be very sensitive about exactly the right version of maps, pois etc. if it doesn't like them, it crashes with no info whatsoever...
If you are using a legal version, mail Sygic.
If you don't, Get out.

Hi Guys, sorry for posting up - but I tried and tried searching, and I cant post in the dev forum..
First up - Had my UK HD2 for about a year, got fed up with hardly any updates and naff apps, so.. not listerning to that little voice in your head that says.. DONT DO IT!.. I researched and finally flashed the rom.
Everything went well.. (good job got a year left on contract!) - desire rom is up and running. Taken me a few days to work out what apps where causing me probs, but mostly its running very well. Finds my orange network.. works on wifi - its all good.
One prob I do have.. everytime I use a GPS program I get a 'freeze', google maps is quite important to me as I do a fair bit of travelling..
(its not a program thing - its the GPS) - tried many different GPS proggies.
So.. does anyone know if:
1) There's a patch or something to fix it?
2) If there's an update to the rom as its a few months old
([30.DEC.10][DFT]LEO "Stock Desire" NAND Android ROM)
3) How do I disable the ad's
.. other than that, its lovely!
Got angry birds to work by copying to the phone ram, stops the freezing.
One more question.. I downloaded an explorer app to access my home network NAS, works well - but some of the movies are in DIVX or WMV format and wont stream or play - any free suggestions?
Lovin it, big thankyou to everyone that contributed to me having the phone I always wanted.. Beer donation WILL be forthcoming, once I've got these probs solved.
Try the fix posted in the thread below, "instantaneous GPS fix)
Try adfree from market to stop ads.
I hear RockPlayer is good for video files.
If above don't work, install a more recent android build
Hope this helps

In reference to the custom ROM (MikRoms - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038967) is it compatible with Google Voice Commands. I understand that these require Froyo, but the ROM has some 3.0 features in it. Can someone confirm if Voice Commands work with that ROM? I don't have enough posts to ask in that thread
I couldn't use it with text. Didn't even attempt to record what I said.

Thanks. I'm assuming it just did a Google search then? It's an amazing feature added in Froyo I really don't want to install a ROM that doesn't support it but we'll see what happens

Very awesome. I'm going to install 1.03 later. Hope it's good as it sounds! I miss Sense (using cm7 now)
Hell yeah. I liked CM7, but the plain look, and the loss of the Sense widgets, just not the same, even using the LPP widgets, and some of the themes..
Trust me, you will love the 2.1/3.0 Roms
Running MikG 1.03
Voice commands confirmed!
Still got a lot of playing around to do. I will say that CM7 was better for customization but it feels great to have HTC's dialer, camera, widgets, etc back.
I'm running MikG 1.02 and I'm having the same problem, When i look at the task manager it keeps restating. My solution, and this is the crazy part.. I uninstalled my paypal app, and my google voice works perfect... Yes crazy.. My Solution to you is to look at the running task and see if it's restarting, then try and find the app that causing the problem or conflict... Maybe someone else could give some info on this....
Got voice on 1.03 - see only one other person had luck with it.
I'm on 1.03 updated from 1.02, the voice commands work most of the time through google search, but sometimes it fails to read for me as well. Most often it won't work when in the Navigation app doing a voice search.
