Hi,
I'm off to Portugal on the weekend (lucky me!) and I need to navigate about 150 klicks from the airport.
I don't really want to spend hundreds of pounds on mobile roaming data so wondered if there was a way to download the entire route in Google Maps or Navigation before I leave?
If not anyone know of a free, or at least very cheap, alternative that will allow me to do this?

1). Rule 1: Search before posting.
2). Nothing to do with the Samsung Galaxy S II.

Apologies I posted here as sgs2 user sorry if wrong.
I was more after recommendations from people in the know as I already knew from Google there is a frankly bewildering array of options.
I have no idea what is the best course and usually find XDA a great place to ask, thinking other sgs2 users may have dealt with something similar in the past.
Many apologies that this is not OK. Will remember for next time.

I'm not saying XDA isn't a place to ask (if you've already searched and couldn't find anything, which I find hard to believe). But there's loads of forums on XDA and your question is not specific to the Galaxy S II. For example, there is a general Android Q&A forum, amongst others.
Navfree on market you'll need to d/l the map.

Actually, XDA is not a support forum. If someone offers to help, it's because they want to; not because they have to.

You don't have to delete your post. You can ask for help, but will have better results if you don't demand it. Just some friendly advice.
The other person wasn't being rude, he was just telling you the correct section to post your question.

I understand. If a search on XDA provides no results, use Google. XDA's search engine is good, if you know how to use it. I've been using google since 2000 and almost always found what I was looking for. The key to using a search engine, is in the way you ask your questions. When you perform a search, search engines look for results matching the words in your search term. The more information you provide in your question, the more accurate the results willl be. For example:
I noticed in your OP [original post), that the information you provided was too vague. "I have a Galaxy S II"...There are several variants of this phone, so be specific. Include as much detailed information as possible in your question or search query. For example; if you're searching for a froyo style lockscreen, try this:
"froyo style lockscreen app, mod, addon, apk for the Galaxy S II i777 (or which ever variant of the SGS II you have). Google will now search indexes with those specific words. This will greatly improve your chances of finding what you are looking for.
Although XDA is not a support forum, there are a lot of people willing to help you, IF...
1. You are polite.
2. If you've demonstrated that you have tried to help yourself BEFORE asking your question, by including what steps you took to find a resolution. People are more willing to help you, if they know you have first tried helping yourself.
3. You don't come across with an attitude of entitlement.
4. That your question is well thought out; including accurate detailed information.
5. Use the thanks button for those who have helped, even if their answer wasn't the one you were looking for. Afterall, they were kind enough to help the first place.
The thanks button is there as a way to show your appreciation. If soneone took the time to help you; thank them for it.

Hope this helps.

You're welcome friend. If you ever need help, just ask. Nobody should ever be treated with disrespect for asking questions or making mistakes. Just take time to read and research before asking for help. And if anybody flames you, or insults you, report that person, because that is against the rules.
Best of wishes.

I want to trade my US Titan for a UK Version or a UK Android. Is there a forum for this purpose? I can't find it. Thanks.
Post the details in the want to sell forum on the main xda forum page, you will need to scroll down and it will involve using your mouse and possibly use of your eyes ;-p
Yes xda marketplace - google it.

Hi to both of you and thanks for the reply.
Seriously I was going crazy about this, especially after I saw your replies cause I still could not find it. I just learned there was a reason I could not find it. Apparently I have no access to that forum because I am too new here. Therefore it doesn't matter how much I used my eyes or scrolling with the mouse
I guess I will have to wait.
You might want to pm Dmac1984 to possibly make a trade on his unlocked UK titan phone. Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1699600
Will do, thank you!
I will be able to get a SGSII over the next week for £170. Yeah it's second hand but it works perfectly fine.
Firstly, is this a good price for the phone? It seems like it to me.
Secondly, I'll have about £250 to spend in total, so is this phone really the best choice or are there better phones out there for that budget?
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance

There are (probably) hundreds (many dozens at least) of these threads on here already. You can get the info you need from those. We don't really need another one of these threads. The info re: whether it's a good price is probably best answered by a marketplace like eBay (or elsewhere; perhaps even XDA's own marketplace).
I appreciate that fact, but search on the xda app is no good and desktop version lags too much and regarding the price, yeah I could've looked on eBay, but considering I was asking a question in this forum that I may aswell ask that here aswell.

I've seen ones with broken screens going for around £160 total,and working ones going for £240 on eBay.
Just make sure the phone works and the seller isn't a crook.

We don't need another 'should I buy' thread.
I am a complete newbee fresh off the apple bandwagon (and hopefully never looking back). I'm using this tablet primarily for note-taking in class and have a few questions regarding S-note and would be grateful for any guidance (sorry if these were asked elsewhere, I looked and didn't see anything).
Is there a way to select and move a portion of a note to a different part of the page?
Is S Note the only note taking app that will work with the S pen or is there any others that may be better?
I notice the button on the pen doesn't seem to do anything in the app, is this true? Can you set it to, for example, work as an eraser (or selector) when pressed?
Any additional advice on taking notes with this tablet? It seems to have an underwhelming level of functionality with how much the S-pen is touted. But then again I'm hoping it's just my naïveté.
Thanks in advance!

It's because of people like you that xda is getting worst everyday with your pseudo-righteousness. It's a thread I post if I want to even if it's to say to people to use google.
Want another solution? Hide IP -> chose US -> Download Xonomail. You're welcome!

XDA is a place to help people . not comment on how they could do things differently . and if you even looked or tried to look for these people who need the APK, there is none on Google . yeah, there are links that say Xonomail Beta . but if you go to them, it makes you go to the Play Store to download them . so in the future, i suggest checking before you say things . and don't be a jerk to people who don't deserve it . all they asked for was a simple APK file so that they can try the application since it cannot be used outside of the U.S. remember that XDA is a community and we are supposed to help one another . not fight with people unnecessarily .
here is the APK file . hope you enjoy it .

Ok mea culpa. I did look for it in google and had hundreds of results and I assumed it laziness. Didn't check if the links re-directed to the Playstore or not. I apologise to whoever I seemed like a douche. Thanks for share.

I looked for XonoMail yesterday for almost 2 hours before I gave up and tricked Google Play with a new account "from USA" in order to get it. The apk was unoptainble.
Bringing warez into discussion when the app is free is pure BS.
Apologies gladly accepted.
My turn now. I am sorry I didn't check this post since I was able to install the app, I could of help. My bad.

Personally, I love reading threads on XDA. It contains a lot of information which helps non programmers (aka Noobs) like me. My understanding of XDA was that it is a place to help fellow Androiders and not a place to argue, be rude, be un-helpful or downright dis-respectful. That is the main reason why I joined and have learnt a lot about Android, modding and rooting. But, I do get put off when people argue on threads, are un-helpful or treat other users with dis-respect. And on this thread, there is one user who is guilty of dis-respect (yep. you know who you are). And on that issue, I echo the thoughts of others. If you can't help others gain a better Android experience, then kindly keep your opinions to yourself. Overall, I find 95% of XDA Users extremely helpful and I thank them sincerely.
@Asphyxiation, I live in Australia and can't get this APK either. So thank you very much for sharing. Mighty kind of you.

Thanks to this thread, I've just downloaded it. Doesn't do Exchange, which means I still can't abandon the stock mail app. Also doesn't handle Gmail corporate accounts - no biggie for me. I like the concept of it, so I'll give it a try. Google does not seem willing to make Gmail app any less irritating (who on earth reads their email backwards?!) so I'm always on the lookout for a good email app that isn't stupidly overpriced.
You can't get it in the UK yet because it's US only, unfortunately. I suppose that wouldn't stop anyone from using a proxy though if they're really desperate.

Dude if that was pointed at me I've already apologised so why do you insist? Yes I assumed people were being lazy, yes I did not check the Google links and yes I was somewhat of a douche but what else do you want beside my apologies? Nails and a cross perhaps? I also joined xda last year as a noob and in less than a year I had mods out and I always have been helpful but I also have the right and fault to make mistakes even though I admit them right away.
