So I remember seeing an app that would allow another party to track your progress on a road trip. How it worked is you would turn your gps on and then it would provide you a unique url that you could send somebody(like a family member) and they could track your progress online via the url. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Thanks
Try Trip Journal.

Was it Google Latitude? There are plenty of apps like that unfortunately so to find a particular one is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Trip-it works well though, and is a good start to look for apps like it.
Waze?

I see it (I'm using new market).
I'm confused as to why its not integrated into the main app. :/
Silly Facebook, developers... Just fix the notifications/instant updates.
I gotta remind myself to get to a damn blackberry.
So I can only get it from the new market? BRB, installing new market...

Nevermind. I found it on market.android.com and just pushed the installation to my phone that way. Not sure how this is any good at all, though.
I have it difference idk they released for the iPhone as well and you can sent pics so I'm guessing is like a blackberry messenger lol

WHY DO WE LIKE IT? It's weird to think that this can be a standalone app apart from the clusterzuck that Facebook can be but, well, it really can. It's as good as GroupMe or Kik or WhatsApp in the sense that you're chatting with friends without racking up SMS charges but it's better than those services because most people have Facebook accounts and don't need to sign up for a new service. It's easy to add buddies to chat (through their Facebook account or phone number), almost scary easy to attach your location to each message and less complicated than GroupMe to start a group chat.
Even if you hate Facebook, you don't hate your friends right? The Facebook-ness of the app is invisible enough that even the most anti-Facebook guy will have to admit this is actually decent. Seriously, strip the Facebook away and what you get is a messaging app that your friends have already signed up for. Why not try?

There's built in chat in the Facebook app, been that way for a while now guys...granted their notifications aren't working right for most people but the chat works just fine.
side note: are they gonna fix multi-quote on these boards soon? some problem with ad-block?
Could one of you share the apk, it's telling me a dumb error like my phone is not compatible and does the same for the official facebook app ....
[edit]Found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210604
I tried this but the notifications arnt working. I've enabled all alerts, light sound vibrate but when I receive a message there's nothing. I have to go to the app to know i got one
Just got this phone today and was wondering if there is some special way of getting the widget to work? I have added my accounts but it just sits there and tells me to add an account.

It worked for me, but I felt it wasn't necessary. The UI was too basic to really use compared to the full version of the same apps.
Thanks for the input but do you have a suggestion for me?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I had to return here for suggestions (so I get notifications), I get Linked and Facebook. When I go to add an account, I see them (checked because I have them) and I see Twitter (Not checked because I don't use it).
I want to add Google+ and Yahoo. Even when I am up and chatting on both of them, Social will not show them to add. I am clueless!

This is EXACTLY why I use this Widget. I work in IT and have done so for MANY years. I had Yahoo IM @ 12 years ago, @ 4 years ago I started with FB, This June, I got Google+. The last 3 years I have traveled the world with job, some friends are on Facebook, some on +, some still on Yahoo.
I have 760+ contacts, everyone keeps asking "Whats up, what have you been up to?" I cannot possibility answer them all, except with Social Networking, weather they want to read it or not. One post, everyone is happy.
Now, Like you stated, If I want a more personalized experience, I go to the app it's self.
Thanks everyone but the problem I'm having is I don't get anything on the widget and all it says is add an account.

Ok. I'm a salesman at a car dealership and I'd like an app to log my customers.
This is simple enough, but what I need to find is an app that I can take a number down in my phone along with a name, and a short bit of text. And then send it to my tfp.
Any ideas?

Why not just use Docs and create a excel sheet with the fields you want?

HAHAHA... I was thinking why not just use Excel, too, when I saw the thread preview in the forum list.
Why not save the contacts on your phone to a gmail account that could access from your tfp? All of my phone contacts appear on both.
or evernote. syncs with phone tab and pc

It seems like it would be a pain in the ass to use excel. Maybe not though. I'll have to try it as well. I am a car salesman as well. I'd like an app to track previous months and currents month statistics. I know iOS had one but I cannot find one for Android. Anyone know of one.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
Try searching the Market for 'crm' there are decent sales tracking apps that might work.
Excel sounds like a pain, the gmail idea could work it just gets hard to keep track of ( I did it on my phone for awhile), but evernote sounds like a good one, i'll try it out.
Excel would work for the statistics I would imagine.

When you add customers make sure you add them to a separate group so that they don't show up alongside your "normal" contacts.
I've been using Evernote, it's amazing app. Thanks

I just spent 20 minutes searching the threads and can't find my answer, so I thought I would take a chance and make a thread about this. If there is a thread about this, I apoligize in advance and I will go and crawl under a rock and hide! I'm just curious Why are all links in our emails not clickable they are just text format, I found something about this in a different site but I think the expertise in XDA is far superior, IMO so I don't trust anybody else...Thanks in advance.

Just to elaborate on my original post, what I found on the other site was that someone said that the legal team at Apple is what caused us to lose the ability to click on links in our email, which sounds stupid....

Yeah I don't use stock email app since gmail is my only email :/
That's weird... Google has been slipping lately
But to elaborate on your elaboration, if the legal issue was true, why does Gmail allow it? Is HTC in the meat grinder deeper than Google maybe?

With all the bs apple is doing to keep their competition on lockdown just so they won't get out sold, you can't really blame htc, best option would be to find an alternative email app as you previously said, though to be honest, I only use the default because I'm too lazy to configure my school account on the hotmail app.
I have the same issue.
Rooted and Flashed my Amaze 4g Telus yesterday and now on ICS.
Can't click on any links in emails and that's very anoying since i have 3 email account link to the phone and have plenty of links in them.
Anything that could help to bring back that feature ?
It's a no go, thank apple for that.
I don't think that's the case cause i had ICS on my Desire HD just before that phone and the links where still there.
I figured it out you have to go into settings, then send & receive, and change the mail size limit. The default is at 5kb, which is only text. If you change it to maximum size it will even show pictures. You have to reset app after you change the size limit so it takes effect though.

Seems legit, can't test it though, for some reason all the mail in my school folder just disappeared, wtf?
I have searched everywhere and my wife and I have had no luck, we are looking for an app or software like mobile spy that is free. We use sms to email to backup each others calls and texts, but is there a way to have an app do all of this as well as backup any image taken to email and perhaps even remote access?
We love doing this, it is a wonderful trust building exercise that has made us stronger and I would like her to be able to monitor more.
We are both rooted with custom roms.
Thanks in advance

You can use Titanium Backup and set it to backup to your Dropbox directly.
