So, as I was going through the posts of Wildfire users, I saw some users claiming that they cannot find any suitable GPS application with offline maps. So, I am here to post the details which might help many to solve this problem of their.
(Note: I'm not advertising but just helping people)
There are many application in the market which have feature for offline maps or cached maps like google map, rmap, oruxmaps, ublox, locus etc. (these are the maps that i have tested and used and are working on hTc Wildfire)
So, here is the guide.
First of all you need one of the above mentioned software installed on your hTc Wildfire (all the above apps are free of cost)
Next you need the offline maps and the guide is as follows:
Step 1. You need to download/create offline map and you will need to download Mobile Atlas Creator (also known as MOBAC and it is a free open source software) tool with SQLite library. Java Runtime Environment should be installed on your computer since this software is written in java. (Google to download the software)
Step 2. Run Mobile Atlas Creator and from the drop-down box in the left upper corner of the screen select map provider.
Step 3. Using the mouse select the area you want. You can zoom in and out using the scroll button.
Step 4. Choose zoom levels for you offline map. Please note that creating maps of a large area with high resolution will result creating data file several gigabytes in size.
Step 5. Enter a name of your map and click “Add selection” button.
Step 6. Select the desired format from “Atlas settings” drop-box.
Step 7. Press “Create atlas” button and the download of the maps will begin and be quite patient because it might take time depending upon your internet download speed.
Hurry you are half way done with the offline maps.
Step 8. Once completed, open the folder with your atlas file. Copy the file on your Android device to /sdcard/"your app folder"/maps folder.
Step 9. Open the android application and press Menu button and goto settings and select the user defined map i.e. the one you placed on your sdcard.
How to save Google maps for offline use on android and you can save your bucks
Enable the Google Maps Labs Map Pre-caching:
1. Open Google Maps android app.
2. Press Menu button->More->Labs->Precache map area.
3. Now when you search for a location, click on the map label that appears.
4. In the location view, press Menu.
5. Press Precache map area.
This can be used to view 10 miles around the selected area (offline).
Here you go. All is set and you are good to go. (Note: The first start up might take time but the consequence will not)
I wont be taking any credit for the information i shared because it is all googled anyways if you liked the info please don't hesitate to press the "thanks" button
I use locus. (old versions)
Even locus has this facility ... you can try downloading the maps in SQLite format (Step 6.)
Update : Google Maps offline use added*

The Windows 8 FAQ
In order to declutter the windows 8 general thread with unnecessary questions,I decided to create this FAQ.I have answered most of the common questions here and will be adding more and more answers as time goes by.If you want me to cover a question,just post it in this thread and ill answer them as soon as possible....
Q1.What Is A Clean Install? What's the difference between a clean install and an upgrade?
A1.A clean install means deleting the previous operating system completely,then replacing it with windows 8.You do this by booting from the cd and then installing windows 8.This is almost always the best way to install windows 8.
Q2.I copied the Iso file to my cd and burnt it,but its not booting from the cd.Why?
A2.This is because burning an ISO is not as simple as just copying the iso to the cd.You need software like IMGBurn or Free ISO Burner.After you download that,when you right click the ISO,you should get and option to burn to disk.Insert a BLANK dvd AND Burn away!
Q3.My Windows 8 Installation failed/froze/crashed!What do I do?
A3.The First thing to do if windows 8 doesn't install is to try again.Yes,try again.If it still doesn't work then try the following troubleshooting:
1)If you are trying an upgrade,forget it,take a backup of your data and do a clean install.
2)Unplug all unnecessary hardware like microphones,speakers,headphones etc
3)Check if all the setup files are proper and not corrupted
4)Check the serial key.
Q4.What is a Microsoft account?Is it necessary to create one?
A4.You do not need to create a Microsoft account to use your computer,as Microsoft allows you to use your computer with a local account.However you will not be able to sync your settings across devices,use the windows store and use Microsoft services like xbox live.
Q5.What Is Windows activation? Is it necessary?
A5.Windows activation is a way by which Microsoft prevent windows piracy.It checks whether your copy of windows is genuine or not.Windows activation is necessary within 30 days.

Q7.There are only 100 apps in the windows store.Why?
A7.There are only 100 apps available to the users of the preview versions of windows.
Q8.Metro apps are force closing or not opening at all.Why?
A8.This is most likely due to a low screen resolution.Metro apps need a minimum screen res of 1024 to work.
Q9.My C Drive is filling up.How do I free up the c drive to install more metro apps?
A9.You can use software like easeus partition master to remove space from your d and e drive and add it to your c drive.Post below for a complete guide.

A16.This can be done in several ways.There are lots of software available solely for this purpose like stardock start8,Vistart,Startisback and pokki.Ill list the pokki method here since its free..Download the software Pokki.It is free and it gives back the start menu in all its goodness.Once you download click the acorn icon in the desktop and enable the show start menu option.
Q17.Is there a way to boot directly to desktop?
A17.This too can be done with pokki.Enable the boot to desktop option and youre done!
Q18.What are the minimum hardware requirements to run windows 8?

Q20.Do I need To close a metro app?

Windows 8 allows you to enjoy your applications in three ways.Snap,cropped and fullscreen.Fullscreen is when an app occupies the entire screen.Snap is when an app occupies about 1/4th of the screen and cropped is when an app occupies 3/4th of the screen.

on tablet tapping the screen in a location is simply a mouse left click (unless the software specifically supports touch) and then pressing and holding for a brief period of time is a right click. This is actually a step backwards as on windows 7 you could do a much faster right click by pressing 1 finger down and then immediately tapping next to it with another finger.
With a wacom stylus, they are actually detected slightly above the screen. This I think allows you to move the cursor around without having to click in that location as you would on a regular touchscreen. Tapping with the stylus is then left click. Some styluses have either a button you hold as you tap or the ability to tap with the back of the pen as a right click. Hovering the stylus over the screen to move the cursor around also allows you to trigger rollover textboxes on websites or tooltips I think. Not 100% sure having had only limited time with a stylus equipped tablet.
Alternately. There isnt a single windows tablet out there that doesn't have USB and bluetooth capabilities. So you could use a USB mouse or a bluetooth mouse.

for daily usage wait for 8.1 to be available via windows update. The public versions right now are slightly buggy betas for developer usage, not public usage, its a fresh install not an upgrade. It will be available for free as a system update later this year

@Pasquiindustry
Thanks for this great app! I hope you'll add authentication for developer mode soon.
Logging would be very handy for anyone trying to troubleshoot issues. Might help to find a rogue process or something. Is this something you could add down the track?
@the_scotsman I will try to add more functions within the next release, I'm writing a to-do list with every suggestion and that's a very long list XD
Unfortunately, that's an IAP error within the Store :S

Great job! Thanks for implementing authentication.

Crashed during start up, can't pass through the startup screen.
@Pasquiindustry, the app is cool but it never remembers the password..
1. Install app from Store
2. Pair with phone

4. Close app & open it again
5. Need pairing again......

I've notices something similar within the latest insider build. It seems that Windows is taking too much time to load the app. If you try multiple times, the app will start.
I'm pretty sure that's not a bug related to my app because there isn't anything running at the app startup.

Yes, that's normal on phones with TH2. This got resolved with Redstone, but this require an update (don't worry, it's coming really soon and will contain a lot of new features ).
It seems that the "remember this device" function is bugged and return an error if enabled. So if you want authentication, you need a new passcode everytime you run this app.
can you save last IP and connect again during app start? Currently I have to connect each time again to my local IP of my phone to see the data
I conect to host: 127.0.0.1.
I also do this, but I have to go to configuration and connect each time I start the app again. I want to start the app and the app should connect to localhost each time
We got the official EMUI 5 on Nougat for Honor 8 distributed officially. This thread hopefully serve to list all the bugs encountered for the official release of EMUI 5.
My routine after receiving an update is to start fresh with a factory reset. The OTA update went fine and the device was running great. However after backing up everything to google and Hisuite and doing a factory reset i found a bug
During the initial phone setup after reset, i was able to connect to my wifi and login to my google account. Then the option page between choosing restore from backup and set up as new phone i tried restoring from backup. The phone failed to connect to my google account. It cited no internet connection. I tried using my mobile data and my internet from Mifi device without success. I ended up choosing setup new device and i found all my internet connection is running fine.
I tried factory reset a few times including going to recovery clearing th cache and factory reset. This is a stock device. No custom recovery or unlocked boot loader.
I found that i cant kill aplications when screen is looked and as well with aplications that draining my battery to much.

Requests and/or bugs:
1) GUI / Settings to Disk that shows & allows setting of encryption, including user password/pin different than actual password.
a) in lieu of this, it should work with the $vdc commands from adb shell or terminal emulator
2) GUI / settings : Adoptable storage interface and ability for the OS (Just like plain android 7, 6, 7.1) to show the actual "pseudo-internal" storage and however your decided to subdivide your sdcard (ext). Apps should go to the least full of the int or ext SD.
3) Release your source code (the hostage crisis should be over by now). You've done nothing to help development yet. There isn't even a TWRP that works with Nougat encrypted. Get the blobs as needed by devs out there. It's starting to look like you just lied about being interested in the development scene.
4) Notifications on lockscreen (I think that's enough to say).
5) Don't even bother to put in settings that don't work or work correctly. There are many of those.
It's a start

I find an annoying bug in b360 is what follows: when you click on a three dotted menu of an app like WhatsApp, earlier you could just drag you finger on the page below the menu to exit it and at the same time use the page, now you have to do one tap to exit and then you can use the page. It's a step more and it's annoying.
Sometimes expanding and shrinking the notifications of a media player gives strange results, like dimensions not optimised or stuck on fading animation.
When you click on three dotted menu of an app in the PlayStore, it leaves a grey mark above the menu. Of course, as I said earlier, to exit the little menu you have to do a single tap outside it, otherwise you cannot simply begin using the page below to make the menu disappear from itself.
Please Honor quickly release an update to fix these bugs. Oh, and I agree with who said that your promise to collaborate with developers is starting to sound like a lie. I come from honor 7 and honor 6, but won't buy the next if you don't get things right with Honor 8.
Huawei's own backup app doesn't work on EMUI 5. I am used to titanium backup but on EMUI 4.1, using the built-in backup and restore app for data, apps, call logs etc was very convenient. However on EMUI 5, this app can't be downloaded from the Play Store too as it's target API is upto MM only.
I have some bugs
First With the WiFi, I have a router belkin with 2.4 and 5 ghz bands and when I connect to anyone I can't connect to the other, i need to forgot to connect to the other one or connect to 5 ghz band and go far when the 5 ghz don't appear and connect to the 2.4 ghz doing that I can connect to the two bands.
The other bug it's with the option to get down the notification bar with the finger, sometimes won't work I need to go to the settings and work again.
The other bug it's with the battery saver option to low resolution to 720p wont work.
And finally, in my case the adb USB debugging don't work, in my computer show me offline and in the phone don't appear the window to allow permission
1) SmartKey gesture, swipe down to show notification panel doesn't work sometimes. Workaround is to not use the SmartKey once and then it starts working again.
2) Stock message app. Replying from lockscreen is buggy. Sometimes it opens the app and sometimes not. When it does open the app, and type your reply from the keyboard, it doesn't register it. Workaround is to hide the keyboard and type again.
I can confirm the wifi bug. It took a long time to happen (which is why it was probably missed during testing) but at some point during the night it disconnected, and I had to restart to be able to reconnect.
Other bug I have in beta and now in official it's some music files when I use stock music app play with no sound, but use vlc and play well all music

On L19 here and didn't have this option on both the B320&360. I am not referring to the Google backup but Huawei backup.

Does anyone of you tried the new Here WeGo Beta on there Android head unit? Does it function fine? On my side I have those bugs:
- Voice instructions always cut after some seconds.
- Search engine really slow. Very often it stop searching without having fond anything. The stable version has a search engine that is fast and efficient.
- When I miss an exit on the highway, it failed to recalculate my itinerary and move the destination cursor near the next exit.
- The app can not restart a map download that has been interrupted. The result is a corrupt map that can not be deleted or re-downloaded via the app.
- Gives only one possible itinerary.
Tested on a PX5. The stable version function really well.
I use IGO navigation which uses HERE. Works fine on PX5 and 6
