Anyone knows if TomTom is coming for Android soon? And waiting for that, does anyone have a good substitute? I cant use Google Maps when I´m driving
Co-Pilot ?...
Not sure when/if TomTom is coming, but Co-Pilot seems OK so far, and it's pretty cheap for UK and Ireland.
i doubt tomtom would come to android as they are developing for iphone and im not 100% sure but that might be exclusive at least for the time being.
I use copilot, and not troubles what so ever. only £22 bargain if you ask me and so easy to use.
I'm a big fan of copilot on my Magic - and I'm hoping I'll be OK to transfer it to the hero tomorrow when it arrives - It actually costs 25.99 because the market price (£22 somthing) doesn't have the VAT added.
I've heard of folk having glitches on hero as it supposedly clashes a bit with the sense UI. However the trick Ive read is to clear the defaults in the home app (I think through app manager) then when you press home button next it gives you the option to toggle off the Sense UI and allows progs like copilot to run ubersmoothly since the sense UI is not swalowing as much resources. You can toggle it back on after the journey I guess.
Daisy - +1 for CoPilot

TomTom develop software for their own platfrom, for Windows Mobile last and finally; iPhone. So I fail to see how they could have any exclusivity there.
Actually, I bet TomTom have been looking hard into Android as a possible platform for their own devices, especially after the new Garmin and Mio GPS phones.
Cant find copilot on android market.

The only problem with AndNav is that you require a constant network connection.

Ok, now i know why.
I live in Sweden, I only get to download the freeware.

Alternative choice for GPS navigation could be Nav4All.
I've installed it and seem not so bad. Actually I need to test it into a real environment like a trip on car...

Copilot is good - no camera database and limited voices but the navigation itself and working with this phone is really good. The lane guidance feature works really well and is a plus over tomtom. NO reservations after changing

Not so, with AndNav2 you create map tiles (which can be downloaded) and the program uses these. All you need a network connection is to calculate the inital route.

Does anyone know of another source to purchase and download CoPilot besides the Market. That is one of the few apps that my Gpad with Vagan 5.1 cannot find.
Copilot
I'm having the same difficulties. Anyone know an answer?
Ed Kinsel
Try ALK Technologies website, I'm using it with my gpad,Tomtom reciever and it works great.
Have a friend buy it on their phone...
I had my friend buy it on his Droid X and then just copy the APK over to my G-Pad and installed it. Worked fine.
I have CoPilot Line USA installed on my gTab. But when i launch the app i get "Your Device ID (IMEI) is invalid."
Any ideas on how to fix this ?

I have the same issue. Latest update on the market did it. Support says they will have a fix early next week.
I'd like the earlier version in the meantime also. It also has bugs, but I could work around them.

How do we activate this or purchase?
You have to purchase it on the market. The new file they have isn't working properly. This is the previous version. So go to the market and purchase it. Then delete the downloaded file (the one you purchased) and replace it with this one. Allegdegdly there will be a fix sometime next week. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Thank you. That got me up and running again.
My guess is that they were trying to strengthen their licensing, and forgot that a lot of tablets don't have phones in them. Thus the tablets don't have the file the new version was looking for. The version you uploaded has a bug that sometimes asks for your license number in the middle of getting location information, but you can back out and work around that bug.
Jon
Its asking me for a 15 digit order number....my Google checkout receipt has a very long number....not 15 digits. How are u guys getting around this?
Once you purchase the app, they will send you a license key. It can take a few days to get this and in the mean time you get a cryptic message. Be patient.
Netflix is here for Android users!
I've packaged up the APK into an easy little installer that takes about 5 seconds.
Have fun!
EDIT: This was pulled from an LG Revolution dump. It doesn't allow you to play anything streaming yet. But it does allow for everything else.
Sooo close!
I got really excited when I saw this. Can't wait till its all ironed out and ready to go.
Thanks for this! Can't wait until we can get streaming, and also Hulu Plus for that matter. Down with traditional cable!
Cant wait til I can actually stream lol
Is this new? Its been leaked for about a week or more and I already installed it. I really thought this was a working version and was pretty happy.

The original post from this discussion was from a week ago. Someone just commented and bumped it.
Might be a stupid question. But do you have to pay for these movies?
If yes, why not just use the regular Netflix service.

If you have a Netflix account then you can stream "Watch Instantly" movies over the phone, just like you can on the computer or Roku box.
i thought the deal was that you'd need a phone with the right drm capabilities before being allowed to stream? Not saying it won't get hacked for other phones, but i'm a little skeptical that we'll be able to just pull an apk and get streaming.
Just downloaded and tried it with my Atrix and Netflix account. Streaming is allowed and videos start to load, but after a few seconds screen goes white, then flashes back to Netflix main page.

Streaming is not allowed. The app hasn't even gone official yet. The app is trying to stream but it can't because it's not enabled yet.
You guys see the new netflix app on the evo forums.

anyone heard anything about when the official launch is i want to see the vid qual streaming over LTE
So I read today that TomTom is finally available for "some Android devices". Bizzarrely (and somewhat predictably), it's not available for the highest-profile Android phone on the market (the S3). Why is it that this often seems to happen with new apps - i.e. the S3 (and previously S2) are rarely amongst the first devices to be supported? Are the underlying reasons usually technical, marketing-related, ...??
It might not be the answer you want, but TomTom is quite over-rated.
The google Maps + Navigation combo has become a very mature product and beats every single similar app I have tested.
Except for the curiosity factor, TomTom offers nothing over what we already have.
It's the lack of off-line routing (and re-routing) that detracts from Google Maps/Nav - especially when you're paying very expensive data roaming charges....
I don't see any TomTom app on market. Can you elaborate

I always though TOMTOM was the best, in the UK anyway. Google navigation is fine, but it is a real pain when you have no reception (driving round in a forest for 30 minutes). I thought I would buy it on another device and see what happens when I copy it over using Titanium backup. Trouble is I don't seem to have any compatible devices.
Maybe you should try Sygic: GPS Navigation
It supports offline maps too, and works best for me in my country,
And some excerpts from news online
"For its part, TomTom hasn't said why its application doesn't support devices with higher resolutions, but it did reassure users that it's "committed to supporting higher resolutions on an ongoing basis." It's not clear when that will happen, though."
Yeah Sygic is pretty dang good. It even used TomTom maps and traffic data.

Every phone sat nav review i have seen puts Tom Tom on the IPhone4 as the best .
CO Pilot second place .Both of course have onboard maps .
Only negative is Tom Tom supplied Apple the maps for IP5 .

Yep. Backing up via Titanium Backup and copying the .apk over, etc is a way of sideloading.

Yes! Exactly the same here, I don't understand why they don't release it for the S3 it seems to work perfectly.
Can this be done if not rooted?

I googled solutions to fix "Your device is not compatible with this version" when downloading new apps, and followed the directions on this video. My phone started having the issue described (reboot loop), so I attempted to follow the accompanying video, but could not get it to work. I figured if I did a factory reset, it would put my phone back to how it was, erasing the changes I tried to make. However, it did not fix the issue.
I just bought this phone 3 weeks ago and now I can't use it. I'm on a fixed income (Peace Corps volunteer on a living stipend) and spent nearly my whole month's allowance to get this phone. Right now I can't afford to take it to a Samsung store to fix it, and I'd prefer not taking it there anyway as I'm in a city that I don't live in right now which is clear across the country from my home, so if I take it there, I may have to leave before they are able to fix it.
Is there someone here who would be willing to skype-walk me through trying to fix the phone on my own? Apparently I'm not capable of doing it myself, and I really want my phone fixed.
Thanks!
