I can not get my radar image loaded in weatherpanel. Any guidlines?
That problems been reported a bunch of times lately. It seems to be a problem with the weather panel website and usually clears up within a few hours. The other way to fix it is to find a website with a radar image that you like for your area, right click on it and then on properties which should give you the address for that radar image only without the rest of the page. Just put that address in on the radar settings setup page and it should use that image from now on.
There's this free web service called "Citizen's MapSite", which is free to use, where you can browse detailed topological maps of Finland. It also has search functions to use with GPS coordinates..
I'm not sure if they have this kind of service in any other countries, but this seems like a great way of using detailed topology maps in a number of outdoor activities for free!
the site itself is kansalaisen.karttapaikka.fi. Now all we need is an application to start up the GPS and (at the push of a button) open up a browser with current GPS coordinates as the search terms. Basically an app that creates an http link using data from GPS.
..would anyone be interested in giving this a shot? In the mean while I need to manually copy and paste the coordinates
Here is a quick implementation which shows the current position.
Since I don't have a gps device and even don't live in Finland you are the first official beta tester!
known issues:
trackbar for the current zoom factor doesn't work
the network connection will not be closed on application exit
gps will be closed on application exit
Next time, please refer your requests to the Q&A section instead.
as this is already in development stages, change the subject to DEV and we'll leave it at that.
awesome heliosdev! I'll be leaving my "official beta test report" ASAP :-D
Teh Official Beta Test Report:
The search doesn't display any results and it seems its because the search is done with the wrong type of coordinates.. There's a drop down box with different types of coordinates and I think that the search should be done using "EUREF-FIN maantieteelliset (~WGS84)" ("EUREF-FIN geographical (~WGS84)" in English) instead of the "KKJ..." which is the default.
Here's an example of how the url behaves (if it's any help):
Using these coordinates N: "60.477603" E: "22.222587" (and "EUREF-FIN maantieteelliset (~WGS84)" in the drop down box) as search criteria, the site url becomes this:
http://kansalaisen.karttapaikka.fi/...ale=8000000&tool=siirra&styles=normal&lang=FI
Thanks for the feedback! I'm using the Lat/Lon coordinates. In the case of no gps device or no gps fix the application shows some fix place in Helsinki. This is the url.
Have you seen this?
To be sure that there is a gps fix try to use another gps application to be sure that gps is working and then open this application and see if it's showing the correct place.
I did some hasty conclusions yesterday, it seems.. Any-hoo: I got it working, sort of: I need to change the colon ( , ) to a comma ( . ) from the coordinates and then it displays the map of my surroundings beautifully ) for some reason it doesn't display the location arrow on the map though..? (when I search the same coordinates in opera manually the arrow is there)
new version is up which corrects the ',' to '.' issue.
Works beautifully (according to the few tests I've had time to do)!
Usability would improve greatly, if there was some sort of GPS status indication: GPS on/off, Lock/no lock and number of satellites tracked..?
updated with a statusbar showing
valid data: sat: number of sats for position|valid|total; altitude
no valid data: no position
Threre is more information like speed and heading which could be useful, too. Let's see if the new info works and then we can see how in terms of gui layout the additional information can be shown!
Btw, does the scale trackbar work for you?
Statusbar works ok, but only after 'refresh'. It would be more useful if it displayed the gps state 'live'. Ie. if there's no lock yet, but it's searching, it would show something like a row of dots scrolling. And after a lock it would display the sat info (This app has something like that for instance: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424423). Now I need to hit refresh manually to check if there's a lock or no; at the moment I use google maps to get the sat lock and then I fire up SuomiTracker (awesome name btw to get the topomap.
The scale trackbar isn't working for me either.
I hear this works beautifully in Omnia also; someone commented on it on a Finnish mobile forum :-D
For a dedicated GPS unit, whether you have a destination set or not, you can always see a 3D view of your current position. It doesn't seem to be the case for Nexus One. You can only see 3D view under Google Navigation when you are in navigation mode.
Is there anyway to trick Nexus One to run Google Navigation even though you don't have specific destination set?
Maps is also pretty nice, but it's always north-up so it's confusing sometime.
I wanted to see this too, so I made a feature request ticket: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6839
Please star this issue if you want to see it implemented!
Done. Thanks for creating it
Oops, I searched and found out my ticket was a duplicate.
Here's the original: http://code.google.com/p/android/is...on&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars
I think the problem is the lack of pre-loaded maps. Since it doesn't have the maps on SD card it downloads your route when you set it. They are probably trying to avoid the need for a constant and reasonably good data connection which would come with downloading map data on the fly.
Can someone help me with this, I moved from an S3 to an S5 quite a while ago and finally got round to theming my device but I can't find these horrid images to replace them with what I want to use.
I have seen some themes where they have been replaced so they must be identified somewhere, if anyone can tell me where to find them or which xml to change to identify what I want to use instead of these it would be gratefully appreciated.

Images, plural? You didn't describe what set of images you are alluding to or circle them on your screen shot. Or attach a copy of the apk you are working with. Presumably you mean the default head shot for a non-customized contact.. but what other images are you talking about?
In the absence of those crucial details, all I can suggest is that you open the apk as a .zip archive and go to
\res\drawable
\res\drawable-sw359dp-land-xxhdpi
\res\drawable-sw359dp-xxhdpi
\res\drawable-sw360dp-land-xxhdpi
\res\drawable-sw360dp-xxhdpi
Scroll though the image directories and replace the ones that offend you.

Thanks for the response, I thought the images in the clip were pretty clear as they are the default ones, I have tried all the images in the apk, as you say the ones here are the default ones, I have done all the others InCall.apk and the ones in the SecContacts.apk all default images have been changed as I want them.
The ones in the clip are the default ones that appear in the stock contacts list, favorites list and logs list, they were easy to find on the S3 but not on the S5, I have changed all the png and pkm files that relate to images and pictures in this apk.but these still remain stock
The apk in question is detailed in the title, I am not new to theming I have been doing it a long time, I know what to look for except in this case I can't find these in the apk at all.
All of a sudden now when I use maps to navigate it uses my start point not from the blue dot which is accurate but from my work location. It says it is using my current location for the starting point but it clearly doesn't and all my travel times and navigation are all now useless. Anyone else experiencing this issue with maps or know how to fix it so it starts with my actual location rather than one I am not at?
Thanks
EDIT: I just deleted my work location from location settings in maps and now it works.
