Yes, Many, many people had this issue and asked the same question. Have you read ANY of the AP4 threads?
It seems based on what I read, that if you uncheck/remove the HTC home screen form the today screen you may get it to work. Not sure as I don't use IGO, if that doesn't work check the various AP4 threads or search the threads
Good Luck!
Agreed I found that disabling the HTC Home plugin allowed iGO8 to run; others have found it necessary to disable Touchflo as well.
I assume you have a legitimate version? The cracked versions can be much more troublesome

It's not warez mister Legally Advisor. I assume that you have no demo on your computers / pda . You paid for everything that you are using , and did not remove the commercials from the free items like YM etc.
In this real world , sometimes you have to get first something , see if is working , then when the trial is done , you decide to buy or not to buy. I do not want to put 100 Pounds in something before I see it working.
But I am sure that you are some ASDA customer and you got the PDA from your employer so this problems are not common to you. Please keep away from the posts that are not for you. This is not a food thought forum. Thanks

Here's some 'food thought' for you.
Your exact words were 'Is not a legitimate copy'. Therefore you are using warez. The demo version is legitimate.
apd was quite correct to point out that we will not provide support for warez. We also won't help those with bad attitude, so you are SOL.

I couldnt get australian maps till recently and following above instructions with "evaluation"version of Igo8 am running it on ap4 without htc home.
I like it better than Igo2006se as reattaching the keyboard doesnt stuff up the controls.
Also I can change the orientation of the screeen and Igo remains in landscape whereas Igo2006 would again stuff up.

Funny that you're getting so angry if your software is legal...."is not a legitimate copy" were your words.
If warez are condoned on this site, it will eventually have problems. and then we all lose out. Go reflect on that and try not to be quite so sanctimonious next time.

Really .... OMG ?! And who will come to inspect my PDA around the world ?! I think that you have a problem called frustration , cause you can't find cheap software. Try with doctor Phil ....
An intersting scenario I found when on holiday in Slovenia this week- in a quiet moment, I installed the Manila Dialler (I'd never tried it before!); I then forgot I'd done it.
I then needed SatNav in a hurry due to some roadwords and lack of road signs- could I get iGO8 to start? No Soft reset, tried disabling all Today Items, disabling VuFlo- still nothing. Gave up.
Got back to hotel and decided to look in ' Remove Programs' then remembered the Manila Dialler. Removed it, and iGO worked again
So, iGO8 in AP4 doesn't like Manila, or HTC Home, but for me is OK with VuFlo active.
Dear all,
I posted a topic to Geocaching forum today.
And now, I would like to introduce Windows Mobile application "GCz" to WM experts and users like you!!
Because some of you might be interested in Geocaching with WM devices.
Please visit below to know the application for your WM device.

Dear all Geocachers!!
My name is Tom and let me introduce Windows Mobile application for Geocaching.
Last October, I bought my iPhone and searched lots of application from Apple Store.
One of most interesting application is "Groundspeak's Geocaching iPhone Application".
Of course, I bought it and started to play Geocaching immediately. It is a lot of fun!!
At the same time, I searched Windows Mobile application for Geocaching like iPhone app.
But I could not find it. then I decided to develop a Windows Mobile application.
Past 2 months, I was working on it and Japanese Geocachers and friends was helping me to test it.
So, I think now is the good timing to introduce the Windows Mobile application to world wide Geocachers.
The application name is "GCz" and you can download it from below.
GCz is Freeware!!!

Man....been looking for a good little app like this! I've been using Navstation's program for awhile, but I will definitely follow your program. Thanks a ton for your app. I will type more after my next cache trip!
Hi noellenchris
THank you very much!!! ;D
and, I have recieved a bug report and fixed it.
please re-download latest one. (ver 0.0.25)

Wow, I was searching for this from long time, so, let me start testing it!
First request: can you add AppToDate support?

Thank you!
yeah man!!! i have been looking for this a while. you are an genius!! thank you alot!!
Thank you guys!! I am really happy to hear from you. ;D

Great! Installed, now waiting for a new version to see if it works
And now, another question: Can you implement a system to cache the downloaded data? I don't have a flat plan for data, so I can use the program when I'm at home using my ADSL without spending money, and when I'm in searching for cache I don't have to spend money because the data is cached by the program.
Hi glaucos,
Yes, off-line mode is next goal of GCz!!
I have recieved same requests.
I will implement it ASAP.
But currently, I need to develop another application.
It might take a while. probablly March.
After that I will work on GCz development again.
Sorry inconvenience.

Hi, I am using Cachewolf, in my opinion the best GC app for WM. You can install the program on your desktop PC as well and spider geocaching.com and opencaching geocaches!
Link (sorry, it's in german): http://www.cachewolf.de/wiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage
Hi Tom,
The app looks very promissing to me. I have installed it on my HTC Artemis (p3300) running WM6 and that went just fine.
But now I have just one problem....GCz is not working with my GPS signal...
Is there an explanation for that? I had the same problem with the latest Google Maps...when I entered the GPS settings manually in Google Maps it worked. In GCz I couldn't find an option to set the GPS settings manually...
keep up the good work!
Hi,
I installed GCz on my HTC Touch Cruise. GPS is working, I can find trackable Items and could open the details. I received the list with nearest caches. But when I searched for a cache (searching for geocaches) or open one of the caches on the nearest-by list, I get the message “Cache not found.”
Is this a setting or?
This is a nice app, but is there any way to search for new caches with having to open the browswer?
Thanks
Can you summarize what this app does?
Sorry and thanks.
Hi Heidehipper,
In my case, I use HTC Diamond.
and "Start">>"Settings">>"System tab">>"External GPS" Settings below.
GPS program port: COM4
GPS hardware port: (none) Baud rate: 4800
Manage GPS automatically (Check ON)
I hope it will help your problem.
============
Hi Bitte ein Bit,
So, I would like to know how to reproduce your situation.
Could you let me know below?
1) Search for Geocaching
What did you input in the text box? e.g) "Manchester" or "M13 0AS, UK" or ...
2) Which cache did you try to open of the cache list. e.g) Geocache Code "GCxxxxx"
I need to know above 2 informations to reproduce it.
thank you for your helping.
============
Hi <insertwittyusernamehere>
I am afraid, I do not get your point.
Could you explain your question?
thank you all!!
tom
This application is great!
It sometimes times out trying to find a GPS lock but it usually finds it within a couple of tries. Thanks for the app!
Leon.
HTC Touch - CDMA
Works great. I got it working on my HTC Fuze and my wife's HTC Tilt. Both worked well with Google Maps. I tried configuring the Geocaching app on my Fuze to use Opera Mobile as the browser but couldn't get it to work. Otherwise, it worked fine otherwise.
I did encounter one bug on both the Fuze and Tilt. When I searched for caches near my current location, it would not list caches that were less than 0.5 miles, even though I knew they were right there. I'll try some more and see if it happens regularly.
I was thinking about getting back into geocaching but remembered all the prep work I had to do from when we first started 5 years ago. This app makes the whole process more spontaneous and free-flowing. I also noticed on geocaching.com that there were two new users who reviewed using their Touch Pros, and I wonder if they had the same positive experience with your app .
Hi @ll!
I recently released version 1.2 of my latest App "Next2Me" to the US Windows Marketplace.
Next2Me uses GPS and shows you all available businesses around you from over 30 categories. You can view the results on a map, show detailed information. You can also call the target business, send the detail information to your friends by Mail or SMS or save the business to your contact list all by only one click!
And here is the latest BETA version of the upcoming Next2Me 1.3.
[UPDATE]
You can now manually choose between miles and meters. And for all US and Candians, Next2Me is now searching for "Gas stations"
[UPDATE]
I changed the GPS code a bit because some users get an exception on some devices.
[UPDATE]
Again changed the GPS device detection.
[UPDATE 04/25/2010]
o RC1 released
o Next2Me languages: DE, EN, FR, NL
o A menu to tell Next2Me how to search for your GPS device (this will solve several issues, like the exception told by some users and the unwanted bluetooth dialog which is automatically poping up)
[UPDATE 04/27/2010]
o Next2Me now in IT (thanks to Spyrale)
o Beautiful new High-Res Icons for the menu (thanks to Saumaun)
o Limit the search radius (250m, 500m, 1000m, 1500m, all)
[UPDATE 04/28/2010]
o Fixed a language bug for the italian version
[UPDATE 05/01/2010]
o Updated language strings for NL, FR and IT
If there aren't any more suggestions or bugs, this version will be send to the Marketplace
So, have fun with Next2Me and send me your suggestions, critics, etc.
C YA @LL!

Any non-marketplace download
Is this available anywhere besides the MS Marketplace? I don't want to have to install this to my internal memory.
I like the app: http://www.fuzemobility.com/learn-whats-next2me/
Any thoughts of using Google Location instead of GPS to speed things up? also, I don't see a way to email a location- just to SMS. Am I missing it? If it could pull the Google info that would be nice as well (such as type of restaurant, rating, etc). Overall I do like it though. Good luck with the project!
great app so far but sometimes you cant get a gps fix or it can take awhile. would it be possible to use google location or Sleuth's myLocation Service here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=607102. These might work better and they will almost always work and are much quicker than a gps fix.
Looks interesting. But please, could you kindly post it somewhere else than on the Marketplace.
No way I will go to the MarketPlace. I do not want to download any cab on the internal memory.
Thanks

From what I've seen, this app has a lot of promise, but I have had a problem...
On my Tilt2, whenever I look for something with Next2Me, I get a message "Invalid GPS Signal..." or "No GPS Device found.". But, if I start up Google Maps first, and let it get my GPS position and then start up Next2Me, it works just fine. Any thoughts/suggestions?
Also, if it could toggle between km and miles, it'd help for us Americans who won't join the rest of the world in using km's
One more suggestion for future updates...if we could set the # of hits returned or better yet, if we could specify a 'radius' to search it'd make the app even more user friendly.
Thanks for the work and keep it up

Hm, that's a GPS-Problem under Windows. You can use QuickGPS to improve the lock-time, but that doesn't always work.

Yeah, I am already aware of the "km/miles"-Bug ... this will be fixed in the next version, of course.
Your suggestion with the amount of hits returned or the search radius is very good and will be proofed.

Yeah, that would be a solution to use the location service using the Google Location. I can implement support for the myLocation service of Sleuth, but I would prefer to implement the location service into Next2Me, so that there is no need for the user to install another application to use Next2Me. Are there any specifications or source code snippets how to use the Google Location service under Windows Mobile?
I don't see a way to email a location- just to SMS. Am I missing it? If it could pull the Google info that would be nice as well (such as type of restaurant, rating, etc). Overall I do like it though. Good luck with the project!

Next2Me checks your Mobile Outlook on you cell phone, if there's an E-Mail account available. This e-mail account will be used to send the email with the location service. The button for sending an e-mail will only be shown if there's an email account set up in your Windows Mobile.
Hope this helps!

im using the Next2Me form the first day it has been released in marketplace
i think its 1.0

Good to hear that ... I don't know the exact cause of the problem, but strangewise the GPS-Stream is on most of the HD2 different to rest of the world's mobile phones ... and on some not, like yours.

Not really ... it's currently available as BETA version. You can download it from the first post. Did Next2Me crash with version 1.1 or earlier? I want to test it with as much cell phones as possible, so please write me if you have any errors with Next2Me.
Additional info: Next2Me 1.2 BETA also supports location using the GSM network. So, it also works with cell phones without GPS module.
Love the new version, Fast, nice GUI and great info! Thanks for this very useful app!
LoL I restart the Omnia and now it works good (Version 1.2).
But how can we add content?

What do you mean with that? Do you want to add your own categories and search criterias? This is not possible currently. I am thinking about implementing it, but currently it's not possible. This BETA version is for testing it with as much as possible cell phones, to be sure position detection is working on every phone.

Tested on tmobile touch pro 2 and works very well on cell tower location. Haven't tried on GPS.
However, the result for gas station is way off, reporting station like 700KM away from current location. Other services seem fine.
Besides, is it possible to change units? Or show current gas price?
Working really nice on my HD2 ! Congratulations man
grrrrr.....can someone please help!!! I have seen multiple posts about this and I cannot believe there is not a long term fix.
Background
I have a GT 10.1 purchased from the USA...wifi only. I currently live in China. I have a Google account setup with a US credit card. I am using a VPN which gives a Utah IP address. I still cannot see most paid apps in Marketplace nor download and install many. I have many friends with iPads that do not have this restriction but I desperately want to stay with Android, but cannot believe Google has made this so frustrating.
Non-solution
Please do not recommend MarketEnabler. This app may work fine for some units if they have a radio but it does not work for wifi only devices.
Solution
I am able to get it to work following these instructions, but I have to do this every time and it is a pain....there has to be some setting or program that will make this easier. Can anyone please help me and the multitude of others that post about this same thing? There has to be some setting in build.prop or something that is controlling this. Thank you in advance.
1) Go into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications. Find Market and force stop it then clear cache.
2) Go into Settings>Accounts and sync and remove all of your google accounts. (I have not always had to perform this step but often it is required for some reason. Don't worry they are easy to add back and nothing gets deleted.)
3) Connect to a USA VPN.
4) Add back your main Google account that has an associated US credit card.
5) Open Market place and when you do you will have to agree to the terms and conditions again. Accept this. At this point you should be able to find and download most of those apps that you could not previously.
6) Now you can add back in all of your other Google accounts if you have more.
Please someone help us....there has to be an easier way!
Sorry to bother, but can anyone recommend a better way around this? Thank you.

I have many friends with iPads that do not have this restriction but I desperately want to stay with Android, but cannot believe Google has made this so frustrating.
Non-solution
Please do not recommend MarketEnabler. This app may work fine for some units if they have a radio but it does not work for wifi only devices.
Solution
I am able to get it to work following these instructions, but I have to do this every time and it is a pain....there has to be some setting or program that will make this easier. Can anyone please help me and the multitude of others that post about this same thing? There has to be some setting in build.prop or something that is controlling this. Thank you in advance.
1) Go into Settings>Applications>Manage Applications. Find Market and force stop it then clear cache.
2) Go into Settings>Accounts and sync and remove all of your google accounts. (I have not always had to perform this step but often it is required for some reason. Don't worry they are easy to add back and nothing gets deleted.)
3) Connect to a USA VPN.
4) Add back your main Google account that has an associated US credit card.
5) Open Market place and when you do you will have to agree to the terms and conditions again. Accept this. At this point you should be able to find and download most of those apps that you could not previously.
6) Now you can add back in all of your other Google accounts if you have more.
Please someone help us....there has to be an easier way!

If you have a SIM card from another country (your home country maybe?) , switch that into your SIM slot after removing you China Mobile/China Unicom SIM. Then you install the app with the foreign country SIM and once done, put in your China SIM once again
Source: I regularly do this to my HTC Desire and wife's Galaxy S2 and we live in China.
However, if you do not have SIM from another country, you're SOL. If you find out another way to do this, please let me know as well with the Note 10.1

Sorry I did know for this APP and JB
I'm looking for the same thing...
I found at least this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.intangibleobject.securesettings.plugin&hl=en
Tasker/Locale plugin providing an action to change the system language.
@OP
Have you tried Xposed framwork with appl setting tweak?
that having option to select language for individual application.
For details read first line on my signature, post#8 (it needs root)
Cool. Thanks for your tip.
I will try it after returning from vacation (My phone is in feature-freeze mode because I will rely on it), thanks. In the meantime I'll stick to my humble solution in Tasker (which automates the language settings before the app start and puts it back automatically when the app closes)
