Well, since no one else has answered you yet and until they do, tell me what you searched for and on where. I will help you improve your searching capabilities. Since you are new to this site it is probably best that you take this suggestion from me before some body comes along with a bad attitude and totally flames you. I would also suggest that you don't start threads until it is a last resort and you have done days of searching.
Also, you may want to list your device, OS, Radio, Rom, Carrier etc....

google latitude

hey just read about this on googles website and was wondering if anyone knows about this yet says you need maps v 3.0 says g1 users will get 3.0 maps in update soon

Latitude... WHY!!!?!???
I don't get it. This seems like the ultimate in privacy invasion. Obviously you don't have to use it, but why would anyone?
Why would anyone want someone else to track everywhere they go.
You: "Sorry baby, I'm busy at work..."
Your *****: "No, you asshole, this chat thingy says you are in West LA near Sawtelle, isn't your ex-girlfriend in West LA, like a block from that street?"
You: "oh, ****, forgot about that. Why did I turn that on again?"

I guess some parents would like to be able to keep track of their kids, or companies to keep track of their employees etc. Definitely an invasion of privacy/integrity, but as long as it's not forced upon me I don't really mind.

Yeah im not doing it!!

i like it, there are lots of programs like it such as loopt and whatnot, and people use those...

Obviously you can manually set your location "yeah boss, I'm at that service call" while you are really at the beach.
It's not secure enough for employees/employers.
I just think it's an odd program unless you really love the voyeur aspects of it.

since it can be turned off
i have no problem with it,
it could be useful if someone is trying to find you and all you do is turn on, show them and turn off 5 min later they are right in front of you....(that would be useful for all those craigslist sellers)
could seem useless but, lets say ur in a car accident , or are lost in the woods and you get one bar of signal and use it to show someone your longitude and latitude and that way they can find you...
its like my father use to say before..."why do you want a cellphone, if they call your office and youre not there, then they call your house and youre not there have them wait till you get home, why would you want some one calling you anywhere?" and now hes a winmo cellphone user...
its a "big privacy issue" but it can be useful

in every turning point there is always a privacy issued breach when reaching someone. Just awhile ago I called my friend through skype and he never accepted the call and it went through. I said 'whats up' and he told me that he was busy. Few days later, he told me that he was in the room with his girl and they were intimate, lol. Almost caught them in the act!

that has hapend to me in skype, its a setting, however im all for the latitude, just that for the "common joe" that is going to leave it on... then start complaining about their privacy and what not... its a good thing google clearly points out that it can be turned off and that you first have to accept the request then config it..

Indeed. Technology is not magical; users who do not take control of it will end up letting it take control of them. Sadly most of that is through ignorance, but they will never admit that. I mean FFS if you are going to use a service that shares your location, specifically invite someone to share location with (because by default Latitude starts with an empty share list), and then somehow get in trouble because you're doing something you're not supposed to be doing... well I fail to see how the problem is with Latitude (or Loopt, or Where.com).

So i've noticed alot of overeaction about this. From what I understand it's more like twitter with a gps function. I also believe the gps isn't real time, it only update when you post a message. Perhaps you guys should look at the application before you scream privacy invasion.

no the choice is real time, or specify a location or off i belive. would be good to just have a update button that sets your current position but dosnt follow you, but i think you have to do that manualy

Might I suggest that you try "search". Or look at the thread list -- page 1 has quite a few threads on this.

It'd be good for say, you're meeting friends for a pub crawl and you dont want to have to be all "where are you now" "where are you now" "where are you now"
It's like brightkite for the lazy.

WARNING: Long post.
If you are going to have your girlfriend paired with you on latitude, you are pretty much asking for issues. Then again if you have a girlfriend thats all over you about where you are at, there are obviously trust issues and the relationship probably wont work out anyways.
Last night I actually got to use Latitude and it was pretty useful. I was at a bar pretty sloshed, and a friend wanted to join us but didn't know where we were, (We have a place thats kinda like a shopping center with just bars all over the place, so roaming around this place is a blast but its hard to describe where you are at to people who have never been there before.) Anyways he called and I didn't answer. He turned on Latitude and met up with us at one of the bars we just rolled into.
Latitude is useful, just need to make sure you have people you want to see your location and the ones you don't want to see your location on a different list. (One gets to be your friend on Latitude and the other doesn't.)
You don't HAVE to use Latitude and you don't have to have it post your exact location either. You can give general locations.
I have two sisters that get lost everywhere. Literally... Everywhere. You can tell them to cross the street and they will get lost. Anyways simply popping up google maps and being able to tell where they are currently and give good directions is awesome. Its like saying "What do you see right now" Then pulling up street view and seeing what they see, then giving directions based on that.
The user just needs to be responsible with it... Don't add stalkers, don't add someone you don't see yourself talking to 6 months from now. Don't add girlfriends if they are the paranoid type.

for some reason my latitude isnt working. it stays at the "saving my location' screen for hours. any suggestions or solutions?

Welcome to the connected world. Get used to it. It is not Google's or anyone's responsibility but our own.
I find it quite useful and fun. I added an "acquaintance" that isn't terribly bright and super annoying to my Latitude list being sure to only show him City Level. The acquaintance has this nasty habit of always showing up at whatever bar I'm at and talking my god damned ear off. Well now I have a way of seeing where the hell this person is and having advanced warning. Granted this person could set me to City Level on his friends list but like I said, not terribly bright and quite the socialite. How awesome would it be if we could tie Locale into Latitude? Oh sweet Jesus of Mary the possibilities.

well honestly its twitter without the details you have to waste "letting people know what your doing" just another social networking idea

I don't get it... Why are you all so indifferent with your privacy?
1.) it can be turned off.
Your girlfriend (I'd rather use that expression than *****) or your boss asks you: I tried to find you on google latitude (assuming she will know how to use that). Why didn't you activate it? You have the new G1 with latitude!
What will you answer? I don't want erverybody to be able to see, where I am? They will answer: I am not everybody! You could activate only me! So why are you having secrets?
And... remember... Google isn't the salvation army. They earn their money with advertising. How long will it last till they use your data for advertising?
2.) it could be useful if
How often have you been lost in the woods or a car accident and you were not able to call someone or use google maps to find out by yourself? These are all stories that don't happen.
And the "I went to a bar and a freind wanted to join us..."
In a bar (those in a shopping center from archangelugp ) you usually have no gps signal. So you can only be found by cell signal. If there are so many bars, this isn't exact enough to find you. If you have a signal, just use "Here I am" from the market and send him an sms, where you are, if not, send him a message with the name of the bar and if nothing works... your friend is out of luck, he won't die.
3.) conclusion
Everybody is free to use latitude of course. I don't want to tell anybody what to do. Just realize what you do. How many of you have really thought about using google mail? Have you noticed that google reads ALL of your mails and uses it for advertising purposes? Read the agreement we all signed when subscribing to gogle services.
I am using google mail by myself , but I am aware of it.
And now go on with google latitude. It reminds me of the stasi in the former GDR. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi they knew everything about everyone. Just like Orwell said... Big brother is watching you.

Need latest Verizon PRL file (or at least 51965)

Can someone on Verizon please post the latest PRL? or if you have the 51965.prl file (or newer) that would be sufficient. I need to update my PRL through EPST on a non-activated phone (cannot use any form of *228XX)
Please do not ask me why I am doing this. If you cannot post the file or help me find it, then please kindly do not post I am doing this to get rid of the roaming icon in the top status bar. *228 will only update phones that are currently activated.
Thanks!

Try here
http://www.roamingzone.com/prl/
Also, the latest one I could find was 51893. It should still work, but you may be able to come across the one you need in PPCGeeks (I got this one out of Howard)...
Good luck.

Wait, that contains a ".rla" file...? What am I supposed to do with that?
Also, there are no download links on that PRL web link you sent.

Hi, you would need to just rename it to be '.prl' then it works fine.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7632904/52105.rar
and here is 52105

Thanks guys - I tried the hybrid one and got less of a signal...how is that possible? Anyone have a GOOD hybrid one? or the latest hybrid perhaps?

I'm using a htc evo. i can't find a prl that gets me more than 1 bar. I found 1 that doesn't make me roam but still 1 bar. I tried others in this thread and still get 1 bar with a roaming sign. I checked the carrier and it says"Alliance Partener (us)" so I don't even know if this is Verizon. I live in Rural

There are many areas in the country with really lousy service regardless of the carrier. This becomes particularly true for rural areas due to the lack of towers. I know this is completely unrelated, but which rom and radio are you using in your EVO?

Speak with T-Mobile. MMS issues regularly relate to the service provider. You should ask them to remove then re-add your MMS capabilities on their servers and to be safer you should create your APN settings based on the info on their website.

What build? Cyanogenmod builds or modified sense builds (like cmys) include the files needed for mms to work correctly on tmous.. they've been working great for me don't even have to enter the apn.

So your location was taking you to the wrong country? I had that issue on an iPhone 3, hence I only ever had an iPhone for a week before returning to HTC products.
The English settings won't affect your location. Google maps will first ascertain where your location is based on WiFi and then GPS. WiFi will inherently be quicker because it doesn't need a lock. I would suggest turning WiFi off for now, are you using a proxy or Tor network direct through your router? That would suggest why it thinks you're in another country. If it's your GPS then that is an entirely different issue and you will want to read this thread:

CM Nightly - DIALER WAKE LOCK FIX

....YES I KNOW THERE'S A NIGHTLY DISCUSSION FORUM....
This topic has washed around and around in Nightly Discussion and none of us have figured it out... UNTIL NOW.
With some help, actually most credit to the other member the Wake lock issue is solved I believe.
If you're running one of the CM 7 Nightlies and are experiencing Dialer as a PARTIAL WAKE LOCK, please check the following:
First, I bet you are using Google Voice and chose that as your voicemail service, right?
Menu > Settings > Call Settings >
Under Voicemail Service, what is showing? My guess is it says "My Carrier"
Click on it, select GV, let it prompt to dial the *28..... config number and complete it's process.
Then it returns you to the Call settings screen where Google Voice should be showing as your VM service.
Reboot, you're done.
I think something happens when first setting GV as the VM service. Personally my phone was behaving strangely when the first config ran, this is the issue and so far confirmed with several users.
I only posted new thread because this is important to many running CM Nightlies, and with 1000+ pages it would be lost on that specific thread.

Was getting Dialer partial wake even though GV was set correctly, so I don't think that was the problem. I don't see it being a problem anymore, wondering if it was fixed on the latest nightly.

I did this earlier today the wakelock was gone, but it's come back and it's still set to google under voicemail settings.

Normally, I would agree with you, but I think these days... I don't. This is a much more high caliber post when compared to people who want to ask about what PS3 game they should buy, or they got their cancer cured, or they just want to post about the new phone on sprint even though this is an EVO forum.
I say.... this post is refreshing!

Would be interesting if it was a discussion and not zomg I fixed the wakelock but it doesn't work for anybody but me
couldn't resist sorry. I really wish I knew why this was happening. I am also getting a wakelock with minimalist text that I cannot get rid of, though that one is not so bad
Swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO

Turning off Turn over silence in Call settings killed the dialer wakelock for me.....

.....nope.

Well I am really sorry to hear this didn't work for you guys. Like I said, on the Nightly forum and also over on the CM site there were about 15-20 users who confirmed this corrected the issue, furthermore there was no one claiming it didn't.
Just goes to show you how helpful it is to have a place to focus on a specific problem, i.e. THIS THREAD.
Anyhow, I realize most of you goobers think I should've posted under the nightly thread, whatever, this is the general forum and I can post as I see fit. Suck it.

I tried this too, and it didn't fix the issue. The dial battery usage still shows more than 90%. Every hour I lose at least 10% of battery ... Searched for other solutions, but no success.

I have never had a dialer wakelock problem. Went to sleep last night with 100% battery or so, woke up and had 94% or something like that 8 hours later

I just had a simular issue with this and wakelocks from Dialer. It was caused when I did a program from Verizon, changing my voicemail settings away from Google Voice.
