Google Goggles not found in market

Don't seem to be able to find Google Goggles in the market.
It's showing up in Androlib (http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-google-android-apps-unveil-xAxB.aspx)
and the official site says to search for it in the market (http://www.google.com/mobile/goggles/#landmark)
But search returns nothing for either 'Google Goggles' or 'pname:com.google.android.apps.unveil'
Is anyone else able to find it? Maybe it's blocked from Australia?

It requires Android 1.6+.

sadly we will have to wait
either ppl hack it to work with 1.5 or for the new update

Come on HTC!
Get that 2.0/2.1 rom out for our beloved hero and we can start using other >=1.6 apps. We dying to try it out!! Come on... give us an early xmas pressie!
ok, rant over.

it is quite annoying that we can't use gmaps with navigation, goggles and other apps since they all require 1.6.
There is of course the custom rom with the leaked 2.1 rom, but I don't like the idea ofa using a 'beta' rom on my main phone.

Tweet to HTC - twitter.com/htc to let them know you'd like an update soon. The current rumor is that we should have a stable 2.1 before Christmas. Eris will get one in the new year. Hopefully Paul (of MoDaCo ROM) will be able to package up a rooted goody before his Xmas!

yeah, I am in the same boat as you. Although these custom roms do a fab job with the developers working hard on it and I have been using custom roms for my old winmo devices, I somehow don't fancy doing putting a custom rom right now on the new hero that is working flawless for me (just got the >=1.6 problem).
I have been watching the tweets from htc, but was very disappointed about their last tweet only mentioned about eris getting an update. Fingers cross, it will happen and soon.

2.0
cant promise but ive have informed that it will be released on the 12th ...so lets see ....

From 18 hours ago, HTC tweet:
Believe it or not, I STILL can't say anything more about Eclair coming to Hero. Working as fast as we can, promise!

I can't find it in the Market Either and I think I have 2.1

I see Beer Goggles but not Google Goggles.
Settings --> About Phone --> Build Number says 2.17...
Firmware version says 1.5, so does that mean I am only on Android 1.5?
PS How did you take that screenshot? Did you use an App on your phone or screencast?

Oh I thought I had 2.1 because of the build number. Damn looks like my phone it outdated...
Anyways, if I only have 1.5 will the APK you posted be useless anyways? The last one I tried didn't work, so would that one do the same?

Works fine here. WWE 2.1

Works for me as well, but it seems pretty useless to me. Maybe it will come in handy one day, when I'll see some unknown logo and will need to figure out what does it belong to.

Huawei released 2.3.3 for C8800 - Could work for U8800?

Hey as stated, I found this a guy brought up this @modaco threads thinking you guys here would want to see also would it be simple to modify this and thus giving us a proper 2.3 rom?
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...r-the-devs-huawei-c8800-gingerbread-firmware/
All credits goes to McSpoon.

here it states it has same hardware , but in small picture if you enlarge it you can see it says 256ram, also C8800 might indicate the mobile is for China's market only(?) that's why the Chinese rom only. Let's Hope it will be released soon

As far as I can see the only difference is that it's a CDMA phone so surely it can't be that hard to customise it for use on the X5?

Well it does look like the CDMA version of the U8800.
Considering the case of the ZTE Blade its possible that both models have the same amount of memory but half of it is software-disabled or something. Either way its a good starting point.
Fingers crossed

I doubt this is going to make it any easier to get a Gingerbread ROM fully functional for our phones, since it is running on the 7227 (Last Gen) processor with 256mb ram, no EMMC, the list goes on. Screenshots for the lolz:

Sad, I thought if getting something similar, would help greatly. I mean we have the things for our phone from CM7 which is based on 2.3 right?
Oh well, sad that Huawei isn't doing anything.

OK, I found the "official" facebook page but you'll need to scroll down through "more" on their wall to find it, so I've copied the message flow below (I intend to add one of my own).
I rarely use facebook so does anyone know, if we all start adding our messages to that wall posting, will that cause it to rise to the top of their wall postings?
Should we "add as friend" the other people who say they own the X5 and have have already left messages so we can ask if they want to join us here at XDA?

Do you have somewhere to download the rom, or access to the phone or something? Some of the libs might be relevant to u8800 if for example the camera sensor is the same.
edit: found it don't worry. In case someone else is looking it's available here: http://www.huaweidevice.com/cn/down...0&attachmentName=C8800V100R001C92B821SP03.zip

just a quick question:
i know there are tons of threads about unrooting... but has anybody after installing customs roms, successfully returned back to stock and still receive updates?
i tried to roll back to the old .9 rom, .13rom( just to check) and not a single uppdate appeared after that.

Yes, great news. 3.2 and dock RMA= perfect tablet

It will probably hit on a weekend to avoid their support getting inundated with initial update calls. A weekend gives people a chance to figure out the issues themselves and not bother support needlessly and if still a problem then they can phone on the Monday.
I believe that is the usual tactic. So maybe we will get it this weekend. You never know!

Good News!!
ASUS had real good jobs in these few updates.
They paid musch focus on Table this time.

What will 3.2 give us? it's mainly for small screen tablets.

besides the improvements to allow more sizes of tablets (smaller ones) the Android Developer site lists the following:
Compatibility zoom for fixed-sized apps
Android 3.2 introduces a new compatibility zoom mode that gives users a new way to view fixed-sized apps on larger devices. The new mode provides a pixel-scaled alternative to the standard UI stretching for apps that are not designed to run on larger screen sizes, such as on tablets. The new mode is accessible to users from a menu icon in the system bar, for apps that need compatibility support.
Media sync from SD card
On devices that support an SD card, users can now load media files directly from the SD card to apps that use them. A system facility makes the files accessible to apps from the system media store.​
But that's just what comes with stock android 3.2. Asus no doubt will have added some fixes and improvements of their own (everyone hopes one such improvement will be Netflix compatibility).

bug fixes i hope

All I want is Fix the lag on the default browser, and better battery life....Hope I am not asking for much......

I fully agree with that

I think 3.2 will should fix the lack of fps in rotate 90 & 180. Motorola Xoom [3.1] , Galaxy tab 10.1 [3.1] have got this same low fps problem like TF. This is honeycomb problem.... and 3.2 on Xoom fixed it... I hope that update will fix some problem and UI will be smoothh I wanna netfix too Better battery life? Fix of SoD? Fix somme issuses with copy/paste when u using custom screen keyboard. Add pinch to zoom on touchpad ? -> we can use 2 fingers to scroll in menu or internet browser ...and why we can't pinch to zoom? Asus please add it
With 3.2 Nova Xoom version will be working on TF

I'm hoping it activates the size down function that turns the tablet into a 7" one for portability.

I just want the battery stats to be recorded and reported correctly. Would love to know what takes up battery life on standby...

Ever since the new update browser and Opera has been crashing a lot more. It's pretty annoying. Hopefully that gets fixed too but it may be a TF thing.

ACER ICS 4.04 update ?

Why did ACER didn't push the new ICS update? with the Acer ring? ....Is't possible they will stop supporting this device?

Yes and maybe they thought a shortcut to add shortcuts when shortcuts could just be added to the home screen when both require the same amount button presses not worth supporting

I think he meant that ACER decided not to give us Homescreen folders. My Phone has this feature with ICS 4.0.3.

I think the Acer ring is nothing more then flash. Something you can brag about having but to me not very useful.
And I also believe support for this device will end quite soon.

What do you mean by homescreen folders.

yeah well to be honest i couldnt wait for the acer push and flashed the civato flexreaper rom......ater using the stock 1.103 leak.....and boy was i amazed....to all others ....seriously forget acer ota's the MOST RECENT ota from acer didnt even include the acer ring.....but civato's rom DOES , im with flexreaper /civato all the way from now.
i skiped the ots mainly and i have NO NO NO NO NO NO NO ISSUES!
no drops in wifi
no sod
no boot reloop
the audio is 300% better sounding! its like goin from mono-£5-radio to a sony-3d-theater system
and have the acer ring.....IN GOLD!
i mean seriously civato managed to incorporate this feature into his rom, but acer couldnt incorporate the acer ring themselves??!!!! wtf. simply.
civato all the way ....and no im not a kiss-ass

Well I will be darned it does have folders, props to you (and I hit the thanks button too). I hadn't done the ICS folders on my phone in forever and forgot to drag and drop shotcuts, not Widgets.
So other than the Acer ring I saw on the A200 at best buy I don't feel like anything is missing, and I really don't know why I would want to have that ring cluttering my clean home screen anyways.
My sig states what I am on: Acer A500 - Rooted Stock 4.0.3 - rooted to add USB 3G support, and VPN support
No drugs at the moment, atleast that i can remember.

I completely agree. The acer ring is just bloat quite frankly. It's a failed attempt to differentiate a OS that is just fine when stock.

I don't see why people even expected them to include the ring, it was new for the new tabs, and the early ICS leak we had didn't have it in it, its all marketing, release a new feature that is nothing but I candy. Don't get me wrong its cool, but its nothing super over the top.

"Couldn't" doesn't have a damn thing to do with it. Of course they COULD include it, if they wanted to. It's not there because they've made a BUSINESS DECISION to only make their Ring app available to their newer devices, from the A200 upwards.
After all, it makes little corporate sense to update your older stuff to the same feature set as your new stuff. Where would be the incentive to buy the new stuff?

they probably left it out, since our tablet didnt come with it to begin with, good props to them too, not forcing bloatware onto a product we have owned for close to a year

THere has been issues with the ring on the A200. It also wasn't a widely accepted thing, unfortunatly it decreases over all performance and memory availability and performance users simply don't use it. Folders are just easier.

THe A200 was released later, but it really isn't newer, just a price point economical version of the A500 with soem htigns removed. I guess the ring was meant to composate.

Remember that web browser that was found hiding in the Nook's search function? It's time could be nigh. According to a leaked memo acquired by TechCrunch, Barnes & Nobel will be updating the Nook Simple Touch and Simple Touch with Glowlight with an email app, web browser and an updated store next month. The update will reportedly be sent over the air starting on June 1st and rolling out to all devices in the following weeks. The idea isn't too far fetched -- the Simple Touch is running a skinned version of Android. Nook owners not willing to wait for the official patch can always root the device of course, which comes with some peripheral advantages. Check out TechCrunch for a look the full memo.

I would doubt that we could get the Play store as someone noted that the new design of it does not work with our venerable Nooks.
Still it is a nice update, not sure if I would get it though as mine is rooted etc and thus it might prevent it from downloading.

This Nook is over a year old now (isn't it?)... There can't be that many tablet manufacturers still willing to perform hefty developments on hardware that old. So web browser and email client announcement will be just that. And no more... no kernel, no other android support. I guess the 'updated store' is their B&N book store, not any kind of android store.
(I omit other bug fixes and reading-centric improvements)
(and as someone who has rooted and set up their nook just nicely, I don't think I'll care about this update, unless it does anything useful for me).

It would be lovely have a official service to send and parse content to nooks, a kind of "Send to Nook" from web browsers and smart phones.

That's what I'm hoping. Even if it just lets you import epubs from email I'd be good with that, it'd allow things like News Beamer and the like to work, as well as adding new sideloaded books without plugging into a computer which is honestly the thing I miss most from the rooted version since I accidentally triggered a reset to stock
==EDIT== some way to import books without plugging in, ability to edit the screensaver banner (had it as an "if found, contact" statement), and a persistent 1 px battery bar at the bottom of the screen and they'd cover all the root features I personally usedwith any regularity

A web browser might mean the device will get official multi-touch support.
The increase from 1.2.1 to 1.5.0 would suggest a bunch of under the hood stuff.
