Hi,
does anybody know how turn on 3D mode on a Google Maps app (if its possible ofcourse)?
I've been checking settings but did not see any option option which would allow me to turn 3D mode on.

Nothing to turn on, it's automatic.
The problem is it only works in specific locations and when you're zoomed close enough.
To test it, go to 5th avenue, New York, USA. zoom close and then you'll see the 3D buildings. use 2 fingers to slide from top to bottom to change perspective.
BTW, for real 3D, use Google Earth.
Closest thing I can get is by swiping two fingers down which allows you to swivel maps and view in faux3d

I have the same problem. I do not see the 3D buildings. Google has screwed the last update.
Works perfectly on my TF with latest maps. Nothing screwed up.

Maybe it's a bug because the previous version worked without problems.

No clue, just know that I have the latest version and it works. Zoomed into NYC this morning and had 3D buildings, 2 finger swiped down and everything worked as it always has for me.
hello all google maps do hav a 3d grid but to acess it u hav to goto a major city like new york in order for u to see it or philadelphia
Where can I find the developer's email address?

Uh, for Google maps? It's Google. They have forums for their products if you want to give some feedback or ask questions. Sorry, I'm a bit to lazy to Google it for you heh.
They have various parts of LA county in 3D. You need to tilt the map and zoom in for it to show.
Nobody has mentioned the obvious yet, that you have to select 3d mode from the layers menu It is not enabled by default.
I have no option for 3d mode. it always worked without selecting anything. I just needed to be in a city with 3d maps.

Doesn't work for me either, tried new York. Not that it makes any difference to me as I don't live in an American city

Yeh in the middle of NY. Did the whole two finger swipey down thing as well but just put it at an angle, no cool 3d maps like on the xoom ad. No 3D option is layers either. As I said it doesn't affect me but just confirming that I have the issue also.

Like most GPS systems out there, I would love to be able to turn the map automatically so it faces the same direction I am driving, not just always north. Possible?

Im not sure if its limitation of google maps on android or samsungs. It has all the hardware for it, so should be possible...
It does doesn't it? You changed the view mode? Press the icon in the bottom left of your screen....

the build in google map is just like your web browser google map, it is static
if you want a navigation style / step by step
you will need to get CoPilot8 software for android
Install the google maps navigation beta if its not already in your phone. I thought it was on the galaxy by default. That will give u the sat nav view.

Well if you are using it for driving purposes why not use the navigation addon? Otherwise you've had it I think.

Well in that case I think the simple google maps app with the arrow showing which way you're going would be fine.
But yea, if you're driving you might have to invest in a real gps solution like AllGamer suggested.
when i'm walking, i use the regular google map, it is sooooooooooo much faster than a full fledge GPS software suit to load and link up with Satellites.
I am surprised no one has brought it up yet here. Running great on my evo! Loads everything properly, which the free app waant for me. Loads it a little faster too so far! Hopefully they release more themes. Only negative is it doesn't seem to hide the status bar.

If you use your phone's search button within the App, you can successfully search? I get immediate FC and many have the same problem.
I'm more curious about the other FCs - that others have seen as well - when doing something random like changing a page or viewing an attached image. Seems like it happens most when the app has been open for a while. Can almost expect it at times. Might have to check this premium version out, didn't even know it WAS out! Thanks.

No problem.
I have never had any force closes doing anything? lucky i guess haha.
I can't help you with the search though, the rom i use has it disabled apparently.. didn't know that!

I fully agree with you with my HTC Vision running stock froyo.
Search is a 100% FC.
To avoid the other type I have always to get out the topic and exiting XDA App, before minimizing/doing something else.
Is this version solving?
I'll probably buy it just to support xda. However every single time I back out of a topic after I have been out if the app for a few mins or the next time I open it, I always get a force close. Every single time I can replicate it. I have to restart the app so it wont force close
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I cant tell you... i never got these fcs... i must have a magic phone. I am flashing another rom haha. So i will tell you if search causes fc soon.
Edit: the search button does nothing at all now... lol
It's a good looking app... also Ad-free! Only available for a limited time.. so for a dollar, may as well get it while you can.
Paid XDA is still plagued with same issues as free. Back to tapatalk

It installed fine and ran good for me. Gets laggy somtimes though.
Edit: I was messing around and discovered the cheats on the same for PC. Like GUNSGUNSGUNS for all... Guns work. Lol and im gonna mess around with the img file today to see if i can add car mods and etc. Like PC.
Got it running on mine, took quite a while to get all the extra files downloaded but it runs. Albeit a bit laggy at certain spots.
Well this sucks. I was going to purchase this today and now it's not even showing up in my market. When I go to it online it keeps saying that my device is not compatible with this app.

Same for me, just clear market Data and cache in the manage applications menu and reload the market. Then search for GTA 3 and it should be like the 2nd or 3rd app in the market search,
Although I can say it doesn't run smooth enough for me on the shift to play it. Works great on A100 tho

Once I clocked it up to 1.6ghz I played with it for another 30 minutes , and I can say it played better at that point (was playing at 1.4 before). Although there still were noticeable framerate drops alot of the time, but it was alot better than getting 10 frames a second 70% of the time.
At 1.4 there were times that the sound would keep cutting in and out, and I probably got 1-2 fps. Most of the time it was when I hit other cars or started speeding as fast as I could. (thats what GTA is about tho right? xD)
Keep in mind too I was on Sense so that may make the experience different from AOSP users.
So, I bought the game when they first launched but never downloaded it, when I tried to download it my device wasnt supported anymore lol so I had to google it up and found version 1.1 apk and I had the issues like the ones described in this post already.
Luckly enough a couple days ago the apk got updated to 1.2 and all I can say is that is very playable if you are in my situation you just need to download the apk (google it) I had installed the SD files already ( the ones for adreno gpu) because I actually bought it.
But if you want to try it you can get the sd files too from the black internet market :0
Im running Supreme sense, dodge kernet at 1.6 on demand, I bet the version 1.2 runs way better on a AOSP room plus you can use an external controller, but still I'm already progresing thru the game almost to the second part of it.

Yeah, I have it on the A100 too, its runs like a beast, I can't say for my shift though, since I'm waiting on a replacement. On my A100 though, the buttons don't quite scale right, making movement a little wierd other than that, fine though. Someone on AOSP (a mostly clean, not bloated AOSP) should try it and see how it plays.

What sort of printer do you have? I want to see Cloud Print hacked onto DD-WRT, which would enable a lot of people to easily print from any Android device, with almost any printer. My AP is my print server.

How do you print from it? I had no idea that was even possible.

I am using Printer share from the market, It was free a couple months ago from the Amazon app store. But what makes it complete is the Google printing part.
I'm using several printers at work that are on the network. At home I am using my Epson Wi-Fi printer. Still it is amazing.
On another note, I don't think my phone has ever looked better either.

To add to the completeness.. there was also just released a Scan to Phone app, that is supposed to allow you to scan directly from your scanner to your phone
A trial version is available, that allows 10 scans to verify if your scanner works
Accusoft USB Scanner - Trial
i have a program called Camscanner that works quite well for that. Pretty much an office in my hand. :laugh:
