Post your Latitude and BUZZ info! [HERE]

I'm looking at doing a stress test on the Nexus one with latitude and to help promote BUZZ even more in the development world. I simply have always wanted to add as many people as I could and I figured they're are others out there so with all that said, if you're ballsy enough post up your email for latitude.
If you would like to add me mine is dahui9_at_gmail_dot_com.
(for the sake of bots I have edited my emails layout) Let's see what you have boys and girls and "I am not responsible for anyone" that post anything or follows me.

i have not looked much into buzz, care to give me a reader's digest run down on what exactly it is? all that i really know is that its some form of social networking integrated with google maps?

All in all it is a break down of whats going on around you. say you're at a resturant and you really enjoy it and want to get the word out. BUZZ about it, and when you do you can take a picture to show people where it is and it geotags the location. its as simple as that! Its up to the community to report what's going on and what they think about certain subjects.
Example..
I went to the mall today and it was really busy
"02/23/2010 tThe mall was really busy today stand clear unless you specifically need to come"
It then geotags the location you are at.

sounds cool but i still think some people may have insecurities about their anonymousness, ie dont like people knowing where they actually are in the world... most people like hiding behind their device or computer screen

You could always hide your location to the person who invites you.

I agree with you but this is an open invatation for all those who see no risk in showing where they are. You can always turn sharing off thats the best part about latitude.
Example again.
My Girlfriend, to lazy to turn gps on so I can actually find her when she is lost in the middle of nowhere.
2 requests so far and both accepted (Don't forget to BUZZ about locations you find)
see you all tomorrow I need some sleep...

Im down... Jhay1925_at_gmail_dot_com...

Any UK buzzers?

I just added the both of you to mine I'm just waiting for response
-Charlie

I've been Buzzing off and on a little since it started. There are only a few others around me that do it too, all of them on Iphones, found ONE guy on a nexus. I don't have any friends with Android, so no one on my latitude list. I'm considering doing this...

Got your invite. cool.

Find yours?

so today @DroidLanding has been active
and its last tweet (last sentence) "Stay tuned to find yours." makes me think
maybe preorders will start tomorrow.
What do you guys think?

Nope. It's a contest where they will be giving away free droids.

Need more clues. Wish they would just say which states so I would know if I should even waste my time.

They've given states now, but still not clues. I wonder if the contest has really "begun" yet or if they are just laying the seeds and it won't begin until launch.

Yeah, Texas is a small state, so it shouldn't be too hard to find a cell phone
I'm in Austin, it's a fairly techno-oriented city and Motorola has or used to have some office/manufacturing here. Maybe I'll get lucky.
I really think the contest has not actually begun yet. My first reason for thinking this is that no official rules have been posted. I'm not a lawyer, but even for a novel contest like this, don't you need rules posted somehow? Secondly, not a single real clue has been given. Telling someone a cell phone is in a particular state or region is either not a real clue, whoever finds it will just be someone who randomly stumbles upon it.
So, I think they have just been laying the groundwork and building interest. It's kind of annoying being teased by the posts, but I can't look away.

#12 is in Ohio, Cleveland, Rock And Roll Hall of fame.... I'm 100 Miles out of reach and at Work...

#6 is in South florida, Hopefully miami!
I agree that this contest wont start til around the release date or even after. These seem to be preview clues just to create hype.

And people like you are reasons why other devs dont like to help us out. Give credit, and most of the time, they allow. I used 5 diff devs stuff in my release. Got permission from all of them. They said, thanks for asking. Thats all it takes. Its called respect. And working together.
EDIT: XDA must have thought he was bad since they banned him, but he is now back again.

alright look, im not fighting for him only stating that this is a forum dedicated to doing things your told you can't, correct? i don't agree with the fact that hes not giving credit to other devs or posting links back to original files. trust me i understand how having things stolen feels. but in his defense mabey speaking with him instead of accusing might be a good idea. Apple is suing GOOGLE for stealing ideas. honestly our phones seem to have been built around stolen ideas,
mabey im just playing devils advocate here but, you really have to ask yourself do you want to feel like steve jobs today?
but now thinking about it after xda as a wholes better judgement said to get rid of him . . . (head down) mabey there right

You are literally ranting about nothing.
Did I just get called Steve Jobs?
Anyway, thanks for posting the link, give credit next time.

Awesome, I never use that search key anyways.

This is actually pretty cool, shoutout to whoever created this!

Guys, there's a reason I posted a guide..
It's so that anyone can adapt it however they want. I could even care less about credit, since that's the OP's choice.
And being that it's such a low level hack, all it takes is a little bit of tinkering to figure everything out.
No need to grill him.

nothings stolen. i found that myself when i was looking for some files myself.
it may have been posted already but i didnt know about it.
@ decadeance.
just checked your post. my bad. i honestly didnt know you already had this posted. i came across it myself last night. ill update the OP to include your link though. thats for not going ape **** on me
misunderstandings happen.

Thanks for giving credit to decadeance. Just FYI for anyone else that might be wondering, using the work of others without giving due credit IS against the rules of XDA-Developers.
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

Since this was resolved in a matter of which did not require a moderators attention then no warnings will be issued since it seems to have been an honest mistake. It is true that this is OPEN SOURCE however that does not mean that you can claim rights to another developers work. We are striving to aid others in achieving more with the community but a house divided against itself cannot stand. Work together, treat each other with respect, resolve issues/problems/differences via private messages whenever possible to keep the forum from getting out of hand and always remember to follow the rules.
Thanks for your time.

Actually... the OP's account was disabled until further notice because enough compelling evidence was recently discovered to prove that he was "guilty" and because the fact that he is a repeat offender we had no choice but to take the necessary actions.

Eugene's JPM R1 build results.

Not sure if this is allowed, since the original thread and the part2 thread were both closed, but life goes on and so does ROM testing.
My findings regarding JPM R1 + JPM777.
I Odin'd JVD from a previous 2.1 ROM and then installed the JPM_R1 rom, did the Factory reset and installed the JPM777 Rom.
Rebooted, waited a few minutes, reboot again and then did the Google/market login.
Everything is working fine and have been running it now for about 12hours. Once I did have the 3G connection disappeared and could not do any data connection. I enabled airplane mode, disable it again and data/3G came right back - working fine.
What exactly is the problem with the GPS? Mine is working, although it does not show the GPS icon in the notif.bar. My Google maps are working and I do see my position, very accurately and on track.
I have not tried any navigation yet - is that part of the issue?
I do understand that Eugene said the GPS drivers are not available for 2.2, but how then is it working - is it using the wifi positioning - even when on the road?
I have restored all my apps with Titanium backup - about 45 apps. I have not experienced any FC's so far, accept the the data/3G problem once.

It's an emulation. It uses GSM data to find your position using base-stations. It's not GPS but works in big cities with 100-200 meters accuracy.

I still wanna know why the second thread was closed...

It just wasn't opened and it's pending a response from eugene.

Just a guess, but I think eugene is tired of all the flaming and n00b's .
It has gotten very much out of hand here on XDA and with their "One Mod Per Forum" policy not enough mods to police it ...
And just my opinion but a lot of the mods they do appoint are either too busy with other things, do not have the knowledge/experience to deal with it, or just don't care.

Sorry that this thread is kinda getting off topic.
But Eugene's thread did get back on topic, so I don't know why he didn't just hand out infractions to the people who flamed & we all could of gone on.
It is much simpler then going and closing a whole thread.

Well he more or less "moved" it to another site, at least that is what he said on twitter.
But back on topic ,
I tested out his 2.2 , and it worked fine, I live in BFE and was getting 50M "gps" locks on google maps, so not sure what is up with that, but of course Copilot would not find the GPS ...

No other GPS software apps for me....
To be honest, I do not have any TRUE GPS related apps like, Mytracks CoPilot, etc. I do have Weatherbug and Flip Weather & Clock and they both seem to be very happy with 'My location' only.
I guess it would become more of an GPS issue if the app was more GPS based.
Any idea of where to look for Eugene's new thread as stated a previous response?

[Q & INFO] ASUS PR Phone Number

If someone wants to help me find this, I can use some of my Houston media connections (Houston Chronicle and a few local magazines) to get in touch with the head of PR for the US. I'm just having trouble finding the number!

Why would they think better of it. If it was truly the number for PR, everyone here should be calling it, but, I have the right connections.
