One of the sense features I've read about is the "instant map" and the uninterrupted navigation when a call comes in. I haven't been able to see this work yet. Can anyone who's figured it out please let me know. Thanks

maps
if your talking about the premium nav then you would have pay for the service but i dont think its worth it
I remembered seeing this when I first got this phone, I did notice Google maps seemed to be entirely preloaded and uninterrupted by calls. As soon as I rooted and messed with roms and such, I seemed to have lost that. Not sure if it was my imagination or what because it was so long ago.

This was one of my favorite apps and of course the new GB update totally messed up this application. I spent a few weeks muddling through without it and then the 3D came out so I now have that phone but I really would like to have this app working again. Is there any chance that anyone is working on this????
I know that whoever was working on it just dropped it like a hot potato but it would be really nice if someone would post some kind of update or inform us that the Wimax Notifier has taken it's last breath.
It was an awesome app. It reminded me of BerryBuzz for Blackberry and I would pay to have an app to work like that for my Evo......
I loved that program too for my evo. I have the 3d now and I'm guessing there isn't even a 2nd. Notification light but man i wish we could make it blink a different color for txt, Email, etc... Very handy to have

Wimax Notifier!
I"d also love to have this app working on my E3D
Reminded me of berrybuzz also I do miss it a lot. **** I wish it would even flash for longer than 5 min.

I'm trying to find a locking app similar to the lock on my iPad, when the phone is rebooted or sleep for more the 2 hours the iPad requires a code to unlock. But during normal use it's just normal unlocking. Anybody know of a Android app that would be similar?
Thought my note slipped out my pocket the.other afternoon while working on my truck and didn't realize I didn't have it till later that night, the last time I used it was outside my apartments with my truck and I automatically thought it fell and somebody found it and took it. Tried to call it but it just kept going straight to voicemail so that definitely made me think it was stolen since my.phone wasn't off before. But I.found it later under the seat in my truck haha. I want a.locking app so if it does get taken and the person turns it off and tried to turn it back on then it will ask for a code and lock them out

I don't know if it supports 2 hours as an interval, but the stock rom does this. Home, menu, settings, security, I think. Somewhere in there is the option to set the time after which your PIN will be requested.

I wish we have something like HTC sense provides. Locate phone and if stolen you can delete contents of the phone from the HTC sense website.

A while back I lost my streak and I'd call it and it ring and go to voice mail except once someone rejected the same call and I knew someone had it. Lookout has an app that's called plan b that you can install remotely and will activate your gps so you can find it. Long story short I retrieved my streak and the guy who took it and wouldn't return it ended up with a broken car window. I also believe there's an app out there that'll completely lock your phone down too. Check lookout's suite of software, they may have something for you

Try out Cerberus it can remotely take pictures using the front or back camera and it emails the picture to you, bad guys face is there and also can use the back camera to figure out where they are. GPS locator remotely wipe SD and phone memory and also can set up other people's numbers (that you trust obviously) that you can send a wipe message to your phone from as well through text.
And its only $4 for a lifetime license.
I would imagine every new Note owner goes through a period where people comment on the size of the note. My daughter posted on Facebook, that "I'm out of control." My wife calls it a Pop Tart. I'd like to think they're all just a bit jealous that I can read ebooks and watch TV or movies without squinting.
Anyway, a few rookie questions if you wouldn't mind:
I'm running Only One on my ATT I717 and love it, but trying to learn about modems. Is there a tutorial?
Also, is there a good GPS progam? I had TomTom on my 3GS but doesn't look like it's offered for Android.
Thanks
I prefer Navigon for gps. Most feautures and best forming. 2 others to look at are Ndrive and Sygic. What do you need to know about modems? Not much to tell unless you are running the phone on T-mobile. Looks like you might be since you mentioned 3gs. If you do then this thread might get you started. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1573568
Thanks. I had an IPhone 3GS with TomTom.
Is 4G the same as LTE on ATT.
There's a thread about boosting data speed and they refer to UCLE2, 5, etc. Does this apply to ATT, or only T-Mobile?
I've heard a bit about Navigon and it seems solid but the reviews it gets don't seem all that reassuring for me to spend that kind of money. Google's navigation app has worked great for me and does more than enough. I've also used Waze. It's got a clean interface and nice traffic info plus it's free!

4G and LTE are totally different. 4G is an improved version of 3G. LTE is another technology. Not all areas have LTE.

If you have a data connection the Google is great. Waze looks ok but it needs data also and has all that social integration. Guessing this app is hard on the Note's battery. How does it run for you? If you want an offline gps app then you need to fork out the dough. No app is perfect for everyone and reviews are tough on paid gps apps. Navigon gets it done especially when you are in an area with no data.
I use Map Quest for gps works great and it's free.

Waze hasn't taxed my battery too bad but I can see how it would become a bit of a hog. True, I could do without the social integration as well but it isn't too bad. I've since resorted soley on the Google navigation app. I hear you about the offline capabilities, Navigon would be nice to have when data isn't available. I rarely don't have access to data so that hasn't posed much of a problem for me with gps. You're right, the choice definitely depends on the person.

Where ever I am around ppl I don't know or friends that havent seen my phone yet whenever I get it out the immediately ask if its a tablet or a phone...I'm kinda starting to get annoyed lol.
I was using Google maps walking navigation today...first time on this phone...on Rodeo Dr. in Beverly Hills. I know the accurancy is great (for whatever reason ICS is taking longer to get a lock), but I was stunned that the arrow was precisely where I was walking but the compass is crazy sensitive, looked like I was walking sideways at times.
So yea that's my little non helpful blurb on the subject...I should probably go to sleep since its 3am and I'm ranting...

Google maps is getting offline capabilities soon. At that point there won't be any need for another app.
So I still can't get Google Nav to work without crashing, and it doesn't appear that Google is going to fix it any time soon. What is a good reliable free replacement?
I've also heard that it works fine on a rooted phone, but I haven't decided if I want to mess with that yet.

TeleNav & Waze are good
Had never heard of Waze.
Looks kinda cool.
Yeah, switched to TeleNav a while back. Works for me until Google decides to fix the current nav app.
Its not google, htc has screwed up jellybean on our phones. The new sense 5 rom has fixed my nav issue. Also ics works perfectly

Being rooted doesn't help. You either have the problem or you don't, and there doesn't seem to be any rhyme our reason. I've been using Waze and like it.

Waze. Extremely aggressive traffic avoidance. Not to mention crowdsourced hazard alerts.
As many of you may already have heard, the new Google Maps update integrates the blue triangle navigation app into Google maps. These seems fine, until you realize whatever navigation they are using is not the same as before. It isn't birds eye view anymore. It's come crap apple like not turn by turn thing. No longer any options for avoiding highways and tollway, no more customization, and I can't find the so called multi route thing they supposedly added. Google navigation was practically flawless, why did they kill it off? Somebody please tell me

My mohter is technologically challenged and she is very upset about this. You know how long it took her to learn Google Nav? LONG! Both her and my stepdad where like "where is the blue triangle thingie" and I was like what do you mean, and oh surprise it was gone. They are the ones who brought to my attention as I have not been using GPS lately.

Scout is a good one, I prefer Waze over Google nav anyways.. Waze is a social navigation which gives you updated information on traffic conditions by monitoring other users. And you get turn by turn, along with warnings about traffic hazards (including police and speed traps)

A lot of the functionality is still there, including the bird's eye view...it's just hidden 4 or 5 steps deep. The big problem is that it's not at all intuitive like the separate Navigation app was. So tech challenged folks can easily get sidetracked by something as simple as getting it to start navigating. It's kind of like when Microsoft decided to start updating MS Office. They tried so hard to make it more "MAC" like that none of the controls made any sense, not just in the naming of the tool or the icons, but also where they were located. Office 2003 to Office 2007 was just stupid. This is what Google did with their navigation app, trying to make it more iphone like.
So what's next? How about a separate paid app that makes navigation simple to use? That could be the direction that they are going. Either that, or they just hired the wrong designers.... probably ex Apple employees
