I updated my GPS Client and Server apps to work with the Nook Tablet. Install the server on a Android phone that has a GPS device and install the client on the Nook Tablet. Tether the Nook Tablet to your phone and check "Allow mock locations" under "Development Settings." If have Google Maps installed, click "Launch Navigation" to start maps in navigation mode. If you have the destination set, click "Resume Navigation." Otherwise, if you click "Launch Navigation" after you set your destination, it will erase it and you will have to start over. Once Navigation has launched, your can click the "Destination" button in the upper left hand corner or the mic in the upper right hand corner to set your destination.
I have the old version on the Market that I wrote for the Nook Color, but it does not show up for the Tablet. I will put it up on the Market once I figure out how to get it to show up on the Tablet.

The man posts and shares his work with us and all you have to say is that you use something else? Its a wonder that these Dev's don't simply sound off with a singularly-voiced, loud "F*CK YOU!" and stop sharing their art with everyone. A lot of people have become so damned ungrateful these days!
Thanks for your work on this Brian... I appreciate the effort!!
Does the Nook Tablet have bluetooth this time around? I still have my BT GPS I used with my NC.

I have said nothing negative about the app and i never would blame someone for his work to the community. Just sharing my experiences. This device is new and we all have to learn how to deal with it. What's wrong on pointing out another way?

I don't feel that Herr Sonscheiss (Wirklich? Es tut mir leid für Ihren Namen. ) was out of place at all. The thread's title doesn't point out that the topic will be limited to a specific solution so where's the foul in posting an alternative?
In another thread Indirect posted the chipset used and it's apparently an all-in-one IC. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, radio and I believe GPS. The trick will be managing to either get a different ROM running or beat the stock ROM bloody and then start poking sticks in the holes.

I couldn't get this to work without data tethering.
Can this work with a gps app like copilot and without data tethering or do you have to tether data for it to work
The tethergps app supposedly does but I couldn't get it to work for me
I have mock locations enabled and used the power control widget to "enable" gps on the nook

It has nothing to do with you pointing something else out but it does have everything to do with the manner in which you delivered it. You should have given kudos to Brian first and then offered your findings. But the way that you delivered it was as if you meant for people to simply ignore his post and go with what you stated. I'm just saying, show respect first when respect is due before anything else. Just jumping in on someone else's thread without so much as an acknowledgement to the OP is a bit rude in my book.
I got the app to also, and but only with data tethering. Apparently seems to work with fine. A widget for enable/disable would be nice. Good job!

HP Touchpad + HP Pre3 connect and the tablet can be used to read text messages etc along with a few other features
So, I was wondering if anyone has fiddled with trying to get Android to connect to WebOS for SMS/Missed call alerts?
closest thing I can think of right now would be using Phone Portal to connect your Motorola device. It uses WiFi and the browser.
Wish there was a way to do that.

Nice one! I think that could be a viable option until someone figures out how to either make an app for android/webos to do it, or something more advanced.
I was just about to post this, theoretically it shouldn't be impossible to achieve although I'm far from an expert in the area (read: not an expert at all). I'd happily donate to any developers which could create a patch for it, as I'm sure would many other touchpad owners.

Yep, I'm expecting a bluetooth app for it.
Must admit i'm annoyed with how restricted the feature is - i mean the car, tv, and pc can all get text alerts from the phone. (Actually that's a lie, the car stopped getting text messages when i went to android)
So i'm sure its doable, its just a matter of getting a dev interested in doing it - unfortunately I wouldn't know where to start.

So the latest update for the Disney game Where's My Water? Has started rolling out and I know that its getting alot of negative points for this update for two reasons:
1. They're charging for the additional levels ontop of the inital app charge. Now I know we're not gonna change that part but they are taking the piss quite a bit there. But more importantly...
2. The update allows full WAP message access (or words to the same effect) to my knowlede Disney is justifying it because of the app pirchase but that just doesn't make sense. Now I'm not particularly good and getting into app coding to find out what they're actually getting. So here's my propisition, can someone figure out why they need this permission. I love this little game I know its made by Disney etc. but its well built and fun I just want to know why they've decided they need this info.
Cheers all

I'm a developer on Where's My Water, though my focus is more on the native C++ side and not on platform specifics. I'm not 100% sure why we have WAP message access as a permission. It may be required by one of the in app billing libraries for one of the markets the app is published on. I'll look into it and get back to you. I can promise you it's for no malicious purpose. If it turns out we don't need it, we will remove it in the next update. Thanks for pointing it out.
Thanks for the quick response. Thats brilliant news its moments like this that show what the xda community can do connecting users and developers. Please keep us all posted with the progress you make and thanks again for the response.

I have a question about this game. I'm running this on my android tablet and I also love this game as its really kept me entertained and its a fun game.
However when I'm offline the game closes unexpectedly bit when I go back online it loads fine. Why can I not play this game when I'm not on wifi? I travel quote a bit and it wold be nive if I could play offline.

Could we get an update? I went to purchase this game and saw the "read WAP messages" permission request. Not going to happen unless that goes away. Thanks for checking for us.

I'll add my voice to this, with one difference - I already did purchase the game. Can't wait to see what's in the update but not with WAP. Props to the dev for responding in this thread though!

Hey everyone,
I looked into the WAP push issue and it turns out we don't need that. It must have snuck in as we have been rapidly iterating on the game and it seems to have just been overlooked. We have an update running through test right now which removes the WAP push requirement. Once again, we apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
@thedan55 - I will look into this. The game should not require an internet connection to run.

Compatibility
Hi all,
There's a third issue with this update, and I'm wondering if anyone knows whether it's likely to be related to the WAP permissions. Since the update, the game is now shown as incompatible with many tablet devices, including my Acer Iconia A100... I'm assuming WAP permissions wouldn't be available on Wifi only tablets.
To give full details, I bought the game over Christmas and had played through it all with no bother on my tablet. Yesterday I got the update on my phone, and when it didn't come through on the tablet I went to My Apps within the market, selected "where's my water" and got the "this app is incompatible with your device" message. Looking through the recent reviews, many tablet owners are in the same position.
Perhaps one of the developers could tell us if removal of WAP permissions will fix this, or if they're working on another way to fix it? It's very disappointing to pay for a game and then be unable to get the updated levels, especially when the game is so good! It's just not the same on the small phone screen. I would gladly pay for Cranky if I could get him on my tablet...
In case it helps at all, I should add that the free version, which I see also requires WAP permissions, has always been shown as incompatible with my tablet... I had to try it on the phone and was then able to use the tablet when I bought the full version.
Any info would be much appreciated.
I believe WAP intrinsically requires hardware telephony, so removing it should open it back up to you. We have found the bug you are referring to and will make sure to fix in the forthcoming update. Once again, we apologize for this mistake!
That's a brilliant response thank you for solving that problem for us all looking forward to the next update. Keep up the work because it really is a brilliant innovative game
Alk3ovation - great news, and thanks very much for taking the time to respond.
Heads up everyone, the update should be live. WAP push is removed and the game should now be playable on tablets again! Thanks!
Thank you!

Thanks, I've updated today immediately after seeing that WAP permissions were removed. I also changed my review back to the well deserved 5 starts. And I learned a new expression: "You three-ducked it!"
Thanks
Yes, thanks very much! I can confirm it's now updating fine on my Iconia tab, and Cranky got unlocked instantly when I paid for him.
Multiple Devices
Actually - I've just run into what may be a bug with using this update/purchase on multiple devices.
As above, I was able to buy Cranky no problem on my tablet. I just tried to get into those levels on my phone as well, and they were still showing as locked. When I tried to open them I kept getting "Your order is processing" followed by "An error occured".
I got round it by using the 'Clear Data' option from Manage Applications, which I didn't mind doing since I'd only played a couple of levels of Swampy on my phone - after that the new levels showed as unlocked immediately next time I opened the game.
Like I said, no biggie for me, but just letting you know in case it is a reproducible bug (I think I've seen a few other people mention the 'order processing' thing in reviews), since I'm sure some people will have played right through the game on their second device and won't want to lose all their progress.
Thats some brilliant news updated same soon as i heard gonna go get the extra levels now thanks again for all year you've done

Anyone try logmein yet? I got it but it doesn't work. Gives me an error.
I was using logmein ignition, I recall that it was working with the first CM7 release. After reading some reviews, I got the impression that teamviewer was a superior product, and have been using it successfully for a few weeks now.
1. What error are you getting?
2. Not sure, but, this thread might belong in the Q&A section, and you might get more responses there.

Indeed it is. Not only is it very quick and easy to set up, it's also free. I use Hamachi and a VNC server on my PC/Mac/Linux machines, but on Android I use Team Viewer to access my home machines.
It just says there been an error report. Then ask me if I would like to send it. Ill try these suggestion though. Thanks a lot
I opened a support ticket and with a the log files I was able to gather they only updated the app enough to get to the login screen. According to the logs the app crashes when trying to read the screen orientation. Until they address it, the app is broke on the b&n OS.

Hi, I searched this forum and didn't find what I wanted.
After using the Asus Keyboard on my 300t, I noticed that the swype like action is only functional under certain conditions. When Browsing, using SuperNote, or Polaris office, it works very well. BUT when I use another apk--- say with a simple AutoCompleteTextView field, I only can hen peck.
Does anyone know how to enable a apk to fully utilize the Asus Keyboard.
I found this annoying too. I've installed Swype (beta) and found it works well, much better than Asus' attempt.

No, I had noticed though and it drove me crazy. Good thing I really only use the dock to type now lol
Really though, no idea. Maybe someone or a dev could pick through the apk's code and offer some insight?

Thus far, I have tried:
AutoCompleteTextView, and
MultiAutoCompleteTextView.
No help.... -- I am guessing that the apk somehow signals to the Asus keyboard, the sort of support it wants. BUT I haven't been able to see any document to that effect, etc. But I will keep looking...
I called tech support at Asus this evening. After a long conversation --- which got me no where, it seems that I will have to wait until someone who has worked more with this Virtual Keyboard, chimes in. I attempted to use hierarchyviewer to look at the widgets in SuperNote for example. BUT since this is not an emulator, I learned that hierarchyviewer is useless with a real device.
I attempted to contact swype once more and I learned a bit more. The latest beta does better, but still have issues. The very latest swype and it now says: display size not supported... But I was able to send a message to the right person, so I am now hopeful that this will be resolved on the 300t.

Hmmm. I know he's sick ATM and everything, but I wonder if we couldn't drop this by Gary and have him move it along the right channels to whoever would be responsible for their exclusive apps? Just seems to me that the feature should work across the board, I don't understand why the one keyboard app should act differently through scenarios (aside from number-only and password fields and such).
I may find the time to take a look at the apk although I'm no programmer lol
If you are rooted, you can install Keyboard Manager from the play store.
That will allow you to automatically switch to the Asus keyboard when you dock and then you should not have as many issues.
I had problems with auto-correct using Swift Key X and the dock. That solved my issues.
Good thought but I don't dock at present. I just hope they fix it!
