Any new features besides the Latitude thing? Perhaps adjustable cache size?

You're the 3rd person with a Vogue that I've seen with that problem (including me), and I haven't seen anyone else mentioning this...
What ROM are you running?

You can add me to that list. I'm using a Bell Vogue (unlimited data) with NFSFANs ROM (1.24 I think - the last non-Footprints one). All other data services work fine.

tested out using m3jorge/vetito hybrid 6.1 20931 and 6.5 roms and no go on either.

This is my first time using google maps on my device or even at all. Seems to be working really well on my device. I don't have GPS built in my device or even have bluetooth GPS receiver yet; however, was able to use it using both GPRS connection and WIFI. Maps loaded quickly and refreshed just as quickly - 1 second 1.5 seconds average with WIFI. Did not test much with GPRS Connection because I wanted to avoid the charges. It did however, to my surprise, find my location really quick once it connected using GPRS (would not with WIFI) It was not 100% accurate, but was very close. So far I like it and will find it to be a very useful app. Have not located any friends yet as none of them have this on their devices yet.

One problem I have noticed with making the Google Maps into an OEM (only since StreetView came out) is that if you change the Regional Settings, the device hangs when running Google Maps. For example, if you change to France and you go to Get Directions ('Itineraire'), the dialog box may be blank and the program is not responsive to input. If you install the CAB instead (eg. with SD AutoRun) then this is not a problem.
Does your OEM have this issue?

for thos of you using the touch (vogue) im not sure if i had the same error but im running a custom cooked rom with m2d and when i installed the latest google maps i had problems running it from m2d but i was able to open it from the start menue just fine...
to fix the problem i used resco file explorer to copy googlemaps.exe from progra files/google coppied to the windows directory and replace that eze
hope that helps

This latitude thing is sweet
1 q tho: I want to keep it running all the time, without having the total google maps app open.
When I close maps, it asks me if I want to keep sharing my position, I answer yes and it keeps just the location service running (taking up a mere 330KB of ram). I don't want to start and exit g. maps evvery time I reboot my device tho (which is a couple of times a week, the joy of a Hermes...). Is there any way to make gmaps do the latitude sharing thing without starting the app, enabling latitude and exiting again?

I had similar issues and on a google forum I think NSFAN mentioned to uncheck gps then try. That worked for me. Seems very cool, but Google needs to learn a thing or two about power management.

This would be useful in some situations, but
I dont think this is something I would want to broadcast all of the time. I know you can turn it off, but once you start showing your position, not showing it makes you look shady. Does anyone else here get questioned if you don't answer your phone 24/7? People know I am never without it, so they expect me to answer. Now will I have to explain why I'm not showing up on some friend's map?
I'm just saying that this strikes me as a little "big brotherish", and I'm going to be very selective about that buddy list.

Anyone know how much data the Latitude service uses? How often does it make a connection and transmit data. Having a constant data connection may cause battery drain issues on some devices that already have power problems.

The expectation of response is probably the most central issue surrounding smartphones/PDAs (for email), and cell phones (for calls). Yes, you will be giving up your privacy, but it's an application you're "testing" and may crash at any time
Personally, I plan on leaving GPS off. That way, I'm in a general vicinity but not one place specifically. It's much harder to snipe me that way.

[Q] MSCHAPv2, PEAP, eduroam issues

Hello everyone.
Following two days of googling and several hours spent doing so I am this close to selling my brand new Iconia A500 and getting an iPad - this is how desperate I am.
The problem is as follows: my school uses eduroam, a wifi using WPA-EAP PEAP MSCHAPv2 authentication protocols. I am using Acer Iconia A500 tablet sporting the original Honeycomb OS, rooted. When I try to connect to the network, it stucks on Connecting and eventually it gives up.
What I've done:
I've set the network settings to what they should be (PEAP, MSCHAPv2, my username and password, no certificates), didn't work.
I've downloaded server certificates (CESNET CA root, personal, 3), installed them and tried using those to no avail.
I've downloaded Wifi Advanced Configuration Editor and tried setting the proper setting in it, didn't help.
I've manually edited my wpa_supplicant.conf according to this post, didn't help.
I've downloaded and tried using Full Wifi (I think that's what it was called) which should allow me to set settings as well, didn't help.
I've done a factory reset.
I've checked for firmware updates.
I've contacted the IT guy that should be in charge of this network. His reply was that "His Desire Z connected simply by setting the PEAP, MSCHAPv2, name and pwd and that I should google around". Obviously, this didn't help at all.
I've read the topics offered to me by xda after typing in the title of this thread, nothing in them helped me.
I've installed terminal emulator, remounted system partition as r/w (took me several tries and programs) and copied over a new wpa_supplicant that I edited according to eduroam support site (disregard that you don't understand the language), along with the .pem certificate. Didn't work.
Right now I have no more ideas as to what should I do.
Apparently this is a problem some Android phones have, some don't. I would like to add I can connect on my laptop using Win XP without a problem and that my friend using iPad connects without the slightest hitch as well, so the network is most probably fine - I've even tested it in two different institutions (eduroam is a pan-university service, so each faculty has connection) - this to eliminate that it's a problem with the AP or somesuch.
One thing I noticed is, that when I set the Phase 2 authentication to MSCHAPv2in the wifi settings (regular Android interface) for this network (eduroam), click save and then reopen them again, the Phase 2 authentication is set to None. This was worrying, but using Wifi Advanced Configuration Editor I've checked that in THERE the eduroam network DOES have Phase 2 auth. set to MSCHAPv2. What is doesn't show is the password, but I assume this is for security reasons (doesn't even show the usual "dots" that replace the characters).
I would be extremely grateful to anyone who would help me solve this problem. Knowledge that I'll use the college wifi convinced me to buy the wifi only version of the device and not being able to use it (regardless of that I can use it on my home wifi and in caffees and such) is really a deal-breaker for me. Being a student and this the only student network spread through my whole country (several cities I visit) makes being unable to use it almost a good enough reason to sell the device - which I would hate to do, because other than this I've found no issue with it and am loving both the looks and the performance it offers.
Thank you all for reading and I'm looking forward to your wise advices.
liveangelic

I' m having the same issues with my Asus Transformer here at Stuttgart, just to share...
Have you found anything yet?

Oh, and my Desire also easily connected, like your IT guys's phone.
It must be something related to Honeycomb.

First, promise you won't laugh.
... done?
I thought the password was different and kept in typing it wrong, time after time after time.
/facepalm

Ok, not laughing... I guess... hehehehe
So, no problem witht the connection at all, just the password?
Since you have made a lot of changes and stuff before entering the correct password (so it is hard to know if any of them really helped), which one of the actions you took do you think would be a good try? I have already installed the certificates, and used the Advanced Config Editor app.
Ok, I'm laughing now, but I promisse it's about something else... heheheh...

Well, apparently, it was none of the changes I made, it was just the password. I know this, because I've factory-reset it just before trying out the correct password, without doing any other changes.
As for the changes: downloading, installing and setting up the certificates is indeed a neccessity. I don't think installing extra apps helped at all. What I think might be quite helpful is editing the wpa_supplicant.conf, so I would look into that if I were you and if you're stuck otherwise.
Either way, good luck

This used to work for me when my tablet was on 3.0.1. When I got the 3.1 update, it no longer works. Level 2 support just scratched their head and opened a bug for me. Since I use my tablet at work, I'm looking to downgrade to 3.0.1.

any results? I've lost work connection with both secure PEAP and fully open - but I can connect at home with WPA2 this is the newest patch on Acer's site dated 7/19/11 "connect WiFi unsuccessfully" patch (which doesn't work still, sigh...)

Oh, happy day!
I don`t know if any of you are still suffering with this issue, but... after months of frustration, I finally got my eduroam connection working:
With some ideas from here and here, for me it's working as the image below (taken from the second link):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The only thing different from the image above, is that I needed to select the Phase 2 Authentication as MSCHPv2 (in the image is set as "none"). Otherwise, it's working here in Stuttgart.
I hope it helps anyone!

Oh, and did we mention you can now use a custom PIN for purchases on your phone, instead of leaving your Google Checkout wide open for anyone that picks up your device? If you have kids, or your phone is stolen, this is one awesome feature to have – and really, it makes a lot of sense.
You can get the new Market .apk here, root access is not required, but you’ll need Unknown Sources enabled in the Settings -> Applications menu to install it.
Installation Guide:
1.Download the apk from the links
2.put the apk on the phone ,don't use adb install *.apk in won't work it will say it already exists
3.Open the apk from the phone using a File explorer (ASTRO for example)
4.it will ask you if you want to replace the current market,press yes.
5.wait for install and voila you have the new market
NOTE:this method replaces the old market.

Troubleshoot:
If you have download problem after Installing new market do this
" Connect your phone to your computer,
set in usb mass storage mode. Look for
a hidden folder called ".android_ secure"
and then delete the file
"smdl2tmp1 .asec". Unmount and you
should be good to go."

Thanks for this! 3.0 is a bit slow compared to the previous market. This installed no trouble and is running really really well on my Alpharev S-OFF rooted LeeDroid HD 3.3.5 data ++

Better than the previous 3.0.27 - performance wise.
It loads the screens faster and the download is faster on mobile network connection.

in my opinion 2.3.6 with slow mobile network is still 10 time faster

will the Desire update itself to this - as I am on 2.3.6 still and haven't moved automagically at all to either of the three incarnations of the marketplace... does it only roll out to newer (dual core?) phones?
has anyone seen it update itself without running the APK on any devices come to think of it?

anyone know how to make market update itself (silent update) to the latest version ?

Yeah! You're right! The 3.x market applications are very slow! When one starts the application, it runs almost OK, but gradually it runs slower and slower when the user browses through the applications. I wonder if Google plans to launch Android on PC! The vending application would run reasonably on a PC!

Wow,nice job bro,it looks amazing

Speed is fine for me. But i am getting duplicate entry for this version, everything else is really neat.
Really like the new PIN function

It's great, thanks. I only have one problem, can't see paid apps. They just loading and loading ... Can see only free apps

Runs well on cm7. Thanx alot my man top shizzle.

[PROXY] Everything at once

Edit: CLOSED due to server problem.
Everything at once:
Make everything in market to be install-able at once.
Set phone:
Proxy: 117.135.139.179
Port: 8888
Country/Region: USA
Go OEM zone or search in store to see magic.
Tips:
There are too many request to my server, so it'll be down sometimes. Use IE on your phone to open any website to check if the proxy is still working. And you can make a donation to improve the stability of server
Please turn off proxy once download has started, I turned off download ability to speed up my server, so you'll get error when download with proxy.
Note that if you opened the app detail or OEM section in market before use the proxy, your phone will cache it for 20 minutes, and no matter what you try, you phone will give you 8000ffff error. So restart your phone to clear the cache.
Install 'SysApp Pusher' in market before use the proxy, then you'll be able to install every OEM apps.
If you see 'not compatible' message, try 3 seconds later with lucky until success. You'll have 1/3 chance to change to target OEM everytime you retry.
If apps does not support your phone's resolution, you can't install it.
If a WP8 app requires 1GB RAM and your device is 512MB RAM, you can't install it, but you can install WP7 games which need 1GB RAM on WP8.
Enjoy

If you get an error code while installing, that may due to resolution problem.
If error code is 0x80007fff, turn off proxy, restart phone, sync your account and try again

but i found an "by @reker" app, which i can not download

Error 8000ffff for me with Ativ S (GDR2)

One thing to note for everyone.
Since it is a proxy, there is the chance that some sensitive data may be transmitting across the wire to the proxy (I'm assuming it's a Fiddler proxy due to the default 8888 port number). I would turn off all e-mail from syncing while running this..

You can try to use the proxy open some website. If you think a free proxy has ability to handle 10k+ requests/hour to provide real proxy service.

Most part of app is nor available to w1. Where wrote that my phone is not compatible and no install button. Also your reker app i can not install...
