navigon - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi does anyone know if navigon or know of an offline navigation software which works with the s2?
Also, what happens when you buy a new phone? Can you just redownload and use or do you need to purchase it again?
Thanks.

Usually redownload if it came via Android market you may need to also contact the company change of phone registered and new serial .

Navigon works fine on the S2. It does not navigate to the door but to the middle of the street. Also you have to download the map directly via the phone as the PC software does not find the phone. I preferred Navigon over Sygic as it writes the next road on the display. Have not tried Co-pilot but this is one of the highest growing apps.
Non of them though seem as good as Goggles navigator but no offline routing yet :-(

So if you switch phones do you have to pay again? or just re-download from market? re-register?
I hear the registration part is long and cumbersome when switching phones.
I only ask because I buy new phones all the time.
Thanks

Navigon is best Nav for now, Sygic most beautiful and Copilot most recent maps.

Navigon 3.6.0 works perfectly fine. I never had a real need to navigate through a door though ;-)
In my eyes it's way better than any other nav app out there, totally different league than Google Nav for sure ... TTS is the best I have heard compared to other nav apps, it has way more features, like Live Traffic, Clever Parking, Route Planning,Reality View (Real highway signs), Simulation ... etc etc.
Btw, Navigon Fresh on PC finds my S2 just fine, no problems there.

Lol, Why don't you drive through your door ;-) Interested how Navigon Fresh works for you. Are you running on Windows or Mac?

Navigon is definitely the best navigation app! I had the same problem that Navigon Fresh couldn't find my phone. Just mount your phone in mass storage mode with usb debugging enabled and Navigon will recognise it.
3.6.0 works like a charm!

Running Win7SP1 Ultimate, latest Fresh from Navigon site, I don't have USB Debugging enabled, just mounted my internal 16GB Flash (/sdcard) on Windows 7 and Fresh picks up the Navigon folder and finds the installation. Pretty much straight forward.

Same operating system but mine connects to KIES when I plug the USB in and then Fresh cannot find the device. Found a solution though...
I need to go into Menu\ Settings\ Wireless and Networks\ USB Utilities\ Connect storage to PC then the SD card mounts as a Drive letter rather than being connected through KIES. Navigon Fresh is now working I would never have looked had you not said it worked, thank you.

nope. i had navigon on my captiavate, then my inspire, then my infuse, now my sgs2

Hello, going through USB Parameters and mounting the SD card, Fresh is able to see my internal S2 memory (16go) and my SD card (32Go). I decided to install the map to the SD cards but when I try to start Navigon it fails. It ask me to download directly with WLAN and not with Fresh !!!! But making that I'm not able to decide wether I want to install the maps (Internal memory o sd card).
How did you reach in installing the maps on the SD card with Fresh ?
Thanks a lot for your help

I have installed all of my paid applications, various "out of market" apps, and even other Google certified apps.
I'm not too sure what the issue could be...

Install the program "Auto Mount" from Market and remount your SDcard.
It's because of this feature in the latest version of Sky Map:
1.5.2: Move app to sdcard (Android 2.2 users)
p.s. Sky map is not working properly because the compass sensor is not auto callibrating.
haha is easy...on froyo

Everytime I unmount the SD card and try to install Google sky map, I get a message saying "there is not enough space available to install the app".
I was having this problem on my Nexus 1 running CM6. This trick worked like a charm. Thanks!
I didn't have a problem installing Sky Map, but the "aim at a spot in the sky" function doesn't work. It's stuck pointing where it was when I started the app and doesn't turn.

Is the G-Sensor function of your phone disabled? You might check to see if there's an option or script to enable/disable it, either in settings or an app. (e.g., gScripts) Sure sounds like it.

GPS Navigation Apps--Copilot, Sygic Navigation

Just wanted to report that although the new Copilot updates no longer work with the nook color (imei issues), the Sygic Navigation app (formerly Sygic Aura) now works as it no longer requires internal GPS. I used it on my Nexus S before I took the phone back and then asked them to switch devices. I now have it running on the Nook Color using the Beta 3.1 with the .32 overclocked kernel. The device code used for Sygic is generated from the sd card being used. I also still use the older Copilot apk that doesn't require imei. Copilot works well too and probably better with more up to date maps. And $5 is a better price than what Sygic Navigation costs.
Can u describe exactly how u made Aura run on your NOOK?
With version 3 I didnt have any luck.I installed app from market, I downloaded maps, but when it starts, it gets me back to homescreen.

You need to use an external GPS, enable bluetooth, and also download GPS bluetooth provider free from the market. Turn on your GPS device, enable bluetooth on the Nook Color, and then start the GPS bluetooth provider app, and finally launch Sygic Navigation. It should open now.
I'm using Bluetooth GPS and an external GPS. I also bought and loaded Sygic but, when I start Sygic, the screen goes black, you can see the arrow in the bottom tray then the app closes and returns to main screen without any explanation.
Running CM7.0.2 from sdcard. Wondering what might be the difference in that yours is working?

Is bluetooth enabled? Did you start bluetooth gps? Did you get a satellite fix? Differences between your setup and mine: I'm not running off sd card, running 3.1 beta with the .32 oc kernel. It is my guess that running CM7 off the sd card is causing the problem.

Please give me link for 3.1 beta then.
I have tried also running the app from emmc and I had also gps fix, but I always get the same situation:just back to homescreen.
Also I have read somewhere that it doesnt work with Android 2.3.3.Maybe this is the problem??

Other Navs
Was looking through some other threads - many additional offline map apps are discussed here. Downloaded Mapdroyd - seems to work CM7. Bought Navdroyd ($7.20) which also has navigation via GPS. Downloading maps now so I'll let you know. BTW - both of these work offline.

It doesn't. You'll have to find an older version (.504) or try Sygic Navigation. Here is a link that may help with the former solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1051972.html

Question - I've got Sygic loaded and it FC with the older version. Opened it after reading your post (thanks) and it worked - asked for email pw etc. Then it asked for product code - ?? I think this one was bought ( might have been free - don't remember) but it came through the Android market and as such does not come with a product number ( looks like a registration number). Is this number located somewhere in a file folder?
Thanks for any help.

Viber now available for android

But it seems it's not compatible with my 3g flyer. Anyone know a way around this? Is the apk floating around somewhere?
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using XDA Premium App
I had to install it on my phone, register it. then back it up with TB and restore using TB on my Flyer. THEN it worked, otherwise it would just force close on startup.
oh interesting. I just got force closes after installing apk and gave up...will give titanium backup a go. Guess I have a reason to root now!
.
If you have a 3G Flyer and can not see certain apps on the market, it is due to carrier/country limitations.
First, I advise you save your desktop theme (or it will reset to default HTC, as when you bought it)
Borrow a US or European SIM card from someone (if you don't already have one) , shut down and then insert it into the Flyer.
You will be asked to confirm your Google password and then when you go to the market, it will be open.
Soz to the WiFi only guys, this is something that will not work for you until PPTP VPN is working for Android so you can fake your location..(or does anyone think that's WHY, PPTP encrypted has never worked... Hmmm)

It is true as far as the country/carrier situation (or did you not read my post! I can use sign language if you wish. )
You may be in the US (country) but your carrier may not allow viber to be listed as it is a voip package and they would lose their nice call profits.
If an app still does not show no matter what country/carrier, then that is down to the actual developer not having approved your device in the compatibility list. Either there is a real compatibility problem or he just ain't got around to it yet.
Don't moan if you sideload it and it screws your device....

Need For Speed Shift

I have Chainfire, and I have the APK but I have no idea how to get the extra game data to download. I tried changing my build prop but that didnt help. Does anyone know how to make it download the data or where I can download the data. Every Google search I did returned downloads for the data but they all said the files had been deleted.
It works for me now with the new update from the game.

Not sure if this will help, but this is how i was able to get it to work.
If you (or anyone you know) has an android phone, install the apk. to the phone. Update the app if it isnt already updated. Donwload the data. Then, move the data from the phone SD card to your Nooks SD Card. It should be saved under Android-data-com.eamobile.nfsshift_na_wf.
I will say that after I did this, i had to reset my Nook to get the app to notice the data, but it works fine now.
Hope that helps.

This is because his phone has a PowerVR (like the NC) gpu while yours probably has a qualcomm or nvidia. You need the correct type of sd card data.
I bought this an was really enjoying Shift until I had to re-image the NC.
Now, I have an odd issue. In the Market, I can't even see NFS Shift. However, on my other NC, I can see NFS Shift and can download again if needed.
How do I get my re-imaged NC to see it in the Market to re-download?
Thanks!

The android market is a fickle thing. I flashed the same ROM (CM7n253) to multiple Nooks. Only one of them won't allow me to download Google Earth because it's "incompatible." The only difference between the devices is that I assigned them unique IMEIs. I put "Blood and Glory" on my NC and I was going to put it on the others only to find that it doesn't show on the market. Checked market website and sure enough it's listed as "incompatible". Checked my NC and now it's listed as "incompatible" too. Good thing it's a free app, I just titanium backed it up and loaded it on the others. I really wish android market had an advanced mode where you could ignore it's "compatibility" settings.
I'd also like to have a way to gift games (a la steam) cause I would have bought a lot more at the holiday sale if I could have just emailed the codes or had it open on their markets.
apk and data from a Droid X
I installed the apk from my Droid X (which I purchased) along with the data but when I attempt to start the game I get an error message that says "Error (Airplay v4.3.10 [2599558]) S3E_DEVICE_PHONE_NUMBER: This device don't have a phone number!".
Thoughts anyone?
UPDATE: The game starts after I click off that error message. However, even though the game will see the data from my previous game play from my Droid X (money, experience points, etc) it still displays the message "If you want to purchase the full game." even though the copy off of my Droid X was purchased. It also doesn't let me change tracks either so I'm stuck on the Tokyo one.

Your maps are always offline. The difference with the previous version is that it now can calculate your route without the need of an internet connection. This is useful for people who don't have a data plan or when you're abroad
