I loved iGO but I heard that it doesnt not work on mini's resolution.
Anyone know any other great GPS that work?
Copilot works up to the point where you enter your destination. It seems copilot does not work with the SE T9 keyboard, so you cant in letters ie. address/postcode.
IGO doesn't work, low resolution is problem. I viewed only 1/4 of screen...
Try Sygic mobile maps...
I have Navigon on my X10 Mini Pro and it works great.

get it from Playnow application on your phone and there's an option to download the whole map to your sd card
that way no data connection required
I did what you said, updated the version, didn´t install any maps on the sd card. And said that my license is expired. eheheheh
May better to install Navigon. Can I also install the maps on the sd card?
Thx
Try Sygic Mobile Maps 10
Wisepilot totally sucks, bad interface bad graphics, no voice.
Navigon looks good, just like iGO with lane informaton, voice as well.. Currently downloading and will test it..
Sygic doesn't look too great, but at least its got the basics....
Navigon looks good, for what I saw last of it like 2 or 3 year ago. Going to test with this too, the only thing is I only have the milestone right now. My brother is going to buy the X10 mini pro so I would be a good thing to do some research first.
Navigon
Installed yesterday Navigon. I've tried this morning on my way to work, looks pretty good. But I'm a rookie with GPS's.
Nice thing, is that indicates gas stations, farmacy's and toll's.

Guys,
Install "Anysoftkeyboard" from Android Market. Set it up so it's the default keyboard instead of the Sony T9 rubbish. It's very accurate for a qwerty keyboard but what's more cool about it, it works full with Co-pilot

As ganstakillerz said AnysoftKeyboard is good and also Better Keyboard is a good alternative, full qwerty and very accurate in portrait mode.
Try Smart Keyboard.....
Its great and the best keyboard i have found till date...
Even better than any soft keyboard
Guys I used GoogleMaps Navigation last night to go to London and back, it works really well I am VERY impressed. Very easy to change route and the MiniPro screen is BIG and CLEAR to use the app perfectly for navigation. VERY happy about this, because my old phone was a Nokia E72 and I loved it because of OVI MAPS. I think I won't even try other navigation software on my minipro UNLESS they have speed camera database included (which GoogleMaps does not unfortunately )
Sygic is better than Navigon.Navigon is nice on screen
I tried Wisepilot today and it worked brilliantly. In terms of quality, for me, so far it's a coin toss between GoogleMaps Navigation and Wisepilot.

Can't find a x10 mini pro forum? Anyway, my wife has one, and she's missing a LOT of apps from the Market that I find from my Desire. Are there restrictions on what apps show up, and can they be switched off?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
It depends where you bought the phone from. different countries have different availabilities with apps.
also dont forget the x10 mini screen is really small - screen resolution limits the use of many apps. perhaps SE has taken initiative and removed all the apps that dont work with the minis from their market
When devs post apps to the market they can list certain requirements that the app needs to work. One of those requirements can be screen resolution. If the phone doesn't match the requirements then the app won't show up in the market. Simple as that. However there is nothing stopping you from installing the apps manually. Often times the app works perfectly fine anyway. I have the Mini and have tried it with several apps. Some will have a messed up UI look but it still works.

What about office applications? My main reason for getting this phone in particular is android+hard qwerty
Documents to go worked perfectly on my Tattoo (it has the same resolution)
Tattoo also had a market fix that allowed all apps to be shown. Only problem was: it needed root... But I guess you guys will have that soon
As nattiii said, Documents To Go works perfectly. I have tried a bunch of note taking apps and they work perfect.
I could not get SWYPE to work btw, an error message about resolution too low came up
I've been using the appbrain web downloader app, which allows direct app downloads from their website. It can browse without restriction, so I've been able to install a few apps that are hidden on the market, like Skyfire, MixZing, lots of clocks, More Icons, and a game called Newton.
The only thing that didn't work too well is Newton. It scales, but the process of scaling slows it down a bit too much. Skyfire works brilliantly!

I was using Ovi Maps as my main navigation because it is brilliant so that's one feature I miss in my old E72... the thing with the E72 is that it badly needed better software and as an owner of it since about Dec09 I realised it early on with lots of random crashes, calls dropping, needing to pop out battery at least once a week, etc. - main thing for me is having a qwerty keyboard having being a Bold9000 owner before, I felt E72 had the best keyboard on the market. The minipro keyboard is good though so I don't have any regrets. The E72 was very slim in the pocket and the minipro is very similar because its still small in size. The fun part of owning a minipro is that, even tho its android 1.6, the software works great and feels good to use. Everything you wanted in the E72, like strong email support (exchange for example) is all there. I liked the front facing cam on the E72, but honestly I never used it! The main device cameras are the same quality and both very impressive. I feel happy going to the minipro and think the E72 was mainly let down by buggy software and poor support from nokia. Hope this was useful!

Hi everyone,
The Labyrinth game is not right at all - the ball moves upwards when the phone is tilted. Very annoying - makes the game very difficult, if at all playable! Or do we have an anti-gravity device?
Any verifications? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance
I am on O2 and have upgraded to the official Android 2.1
EDIT: This only occurs with the paid-for version of the game, not the lite version.
have you tried the calibrator app ?
what happens with that one?
you may need to *#*#307#*#* in phone to enable the emlist to be able to see the calibrator
Thanks Fards for your reply.
I have enabled emlist on the phone and through calibrator saw that the phone was fine - I think there is an issue with the applications involved somehow...
As google street view works very well on compass mode - with right way up etc.
Also tried Asphalt 5 free and that is working (left and right tilt).
Another app - Bubble, also works fine...
Like I said most likely it is somehow with the coding of the games mentioned in the original post...
Thanks and good night
I installed labyrinth light on my streak and there is no problem with the accelerometer, everything work fine.

Hi Dalamario and thanks for your input.
Glad to hear yours is working fine
I hope it's not a stupid question but what is MCR2?
Searching for it gave me links for ROM update - didn't know we were able to update ROMs for our devices yet though...
I will try some other games and get back soon.
I still am glad I chose Streak over Iphone 4 though

MCR is Modaco Custom Rom, it's the O2 2.1 rom customized. It's a work in progress so it's still not available to everyone http://android.modaco.com/content/d...r-the-dell-streak-android-2-1-online-kitchen/
When I flashed my device I had trouble with the compass that was not reacting to my movement giving me a static "google sky", but the accelorometer was working fine. Then I recalibrated the compass (making a 8 shape when it's active) and it come back to work normally.
Perhaps your problem is not with the accelerometer but with the compass. Try an app that require the compass, like "gps status" and if it doesn't work, make an 8 shape with the hand (like the infinite symbol) see this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP3d00Hr14o
Thanks again Dalamario for your help.
I followed what you said and realised that the lite version of the game is fine, but the paid-for one has the "bug" somehow.
Thanks again and best wishes
Since my official O2 2.1 update, there are some apps that no longer work correctly - the accelerometer seems reversed. Chalky, Grand Prix Live, Hour Face and I'm sure a couple more that I can't think of right now.

Anyone ideas?

Seems Mobile Maps 10 doesnt work with GB. I have tried installing it on both the SGS 2 and an Experia Arc and force closes on both. Sygic Aura works but it in my opinion is not as user friendly, lacks menu functions and doesnt display ETA in portrait mode in version 2.13 but does on version 2.0.

Hey guys, I was hoping someone could offer me a solution. I am currently having problems with my data connection and have been for as long as I can remember. I have Atrix rooted, running Honey glow theme based on the 3.5 gingerblur mod, and for some reason without moving at all from a location where I get a good connection, I will be downloading or watching youtube and then all of a sudden my connection goes dead and I can't seem to do anything to revive it and just have to wait patiently for a minute or two. It's pretty effing annoying especially when youre trying to watch music videos or streaming Pandora. Any suggestions?
Second issue, I have to rely on Honeyglows built in Swype kb because everytime I try to use the multitouch kb, it force closes on me instantly every time. Any suggestions? Can I just reinstall motorolla's multitouch kb or some other one? Also this problem only started when I first installed Honeyglow so yes that is probably the problem, but I love the theme and have everything set up the way I want to and really want basically a solution or work around to this problem that actually addresses the problem as opposed to any reinstalling type solution. Any help is mucho appreciato.
I would suggest using a different keyboard from the market there are tons personally I like gingerbread keyboard by steven lin.
Afor the data connection I have had that problem though I have bad service In my house. The fastest way I have found to fix it is to use data switch from the market to disable data and then turn it on again. This seems to fix it. I dont know how to fix it completely but I find that if I reboot once in a awhile I don't have the problem as much. Find an app that supports" hot reboot" it will save a lot of time.
Hope this helps

The Gingerbread keyboard in the market is good. I was using that at one point. It's better than the blur multitouch keyboard because our stock keyboard has a tendency to miss key presses if you type too fast.
Better Keyboard 8 or Smart Keyboard Pro are the best I've tried though.
Smart Keyboard has hands down the most configurable features of any keyboard. Better keyboard comes pretty close. I use them with the Rapid skin, which is a nice high res skin.
I actually like Better keyboard more for some reason that I can't explain. I seem to type with less errors on it for some strange reason.
I have been using this keyboard for a while now and haven't found one better:

Yes I know. It is expensive but I have had a good experience with it ever since my iPhone 3G days. I have the pan European version and I have used it across 5 countries with good results.
Navigon is a good choice too, sometimes it is more precise but Sygic has 3D map, even 3D monuments and buildings in some cities. Only thing missin is a "talk an drive" function to dictate destinations. This I have found only in some very specialized or local applications.

You could try this FREE one on the Market called NavFree. It's crowd sourced so keeps being updated and the maps are downloaded to your device so no internet connection is needed in normal use.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.navfree.android.OSM.ALL
Worth a try.

How well does the GPS do in terms of lock times when fully standalone (no data whatsoever)?

No U.S support!
I haven't downloaded it yet, are you sure about US support? On their web site says they use Openstreet http://www.openstreetmap.org/ and they seem to support "the world".
for some reason there is no download option for U.S, they even have Mexico and Canada, no u.s.
@geonahta / all
on which country did you use the sygic?.
is your device rooted?
also do you use the sygic without wifi connection.?
need more info/help, coz my device wont lock to gps satellite in my place Manila, PH (without the wifi conn)
thanks much.
I used Sygic in UK, France, Spain, Poland, Ukraine, and Greece. European maps are 3 GB size, so there is no need of wifi after that. If the version you are buying has the country covered then I don't see why I would not work. Read the info before downloading. Some versions don't offer detailed road maps for all regions / villages etc.
PS: The algorithms of search, POI, and route are working on your phone. Again, no need of wifi.
update!
Got it working! its great.. thanks everyone.

Hello,after installing the ndrive I can't open the the app!Why is that?How did you install Sygic?
I installed Sygic and does seem to have US maps. I downloaded Texas (256mb!) and so far looks like it will work. I think half the reason the download is so large is it looks like it uses Ivona voices and downloads most of them. English Emma is great! Will try out the NAV on my way home tonight. Looks like it's only a 7 day trial.
I just used my wifi connection, took about 10 minutes to download 256mb.
edit: What does Sygic cost, just the cost of the map you download? Do you buy maps of the Sygic site (in Euros?), $20 for USA seems OK if it's a one tiime charge (and if it works as well as Google Nav).
NavFree
You wrong man, they do have U.S. maps. It is called NavFree USA . I have downloaded it; however, I got it from the Samsung App Store since I cannot find it in the Android Market.
I dont know if this has been mentioned before but in the samsung apps you will find a free offline gps for it.
Used Sygic on my home tonight. Works well, now I need a car charger that works (my Optimus one doesn't charge it). Sygic has a lot of nice features, speed limit sign, est time you'll arrive at destination, very good voices...
Guess I'll have to look at that Samsung thing too...
edit: Pulling Navfree USA Map now... at 1gb and only halfway loaded! No one state option which really sux. But it's free!
edit2... my free memory went from 3.8gb free to 400mb free and it's still not all there... not looking good.

Based on info in this thread, I also installed from Samsung Apps, and am downloading the USA maps. Our downloads must be "fighting" each other, because it's been almost 20 minutes now, and that slider/progress bar is barely budging ... Hopefully, it'll be moveable to SD??

I left the download to run overnight, and it's finished this morning. App seems to be working ok. It looks like it put itself on the (external) SD card, about 84MB?
I haven't tried it for navigation yet, but it's showing my location approx. correctly.
I don't know how long it took for the download of the US map, but probably at least several hours. Then again, I have a TomTom that also takes several hours to update, so this seems typical.
Jim
First time I downloaded Navfree from Samsung apps, only gave me option to download "USA". After 2gb+ of data it still wouldn't load. I uninstalled and installed Navfree USA from the Market https://market.android.com/details?...EwMiwiY29tLm5hdmZyZWUuYW5kcm9pZC5PU00uVVNBIl0.. It gave option to just download Texas. First try it said fail, second try it started and only took about 10 minutes. Files are in Android/data folder, 312mb. App is real glitchy but does work. Won't find a street number, unless you have wifi and search for it in Google, then it will locate it. Contact addresses don't work "next release".
I also have Sygic on my 5.0. It works much better, used 675mb (for Texas), but I don't think I'll buy it since Navfree is free, and hopefully they'll work out the bugs. The voices and UI on Sygic are much better.
Wish Google would let you download full maps!
