There's an official Samsung app called S-Baro. I haven't seen any other altimeter app to compare it to, but this one is fairly accurate.

Thank you mate

But you should have internet connection to update altitude right?

Where im hiking, there does not have internet connection... does this app works just with gps?

I recommend SyPressure Pro (Barometer) v 1.12.1.
It doesn't require internet connection to update altitude, though I'm not sure how accurate this is without it.

Internet connection increase accuracy of values. You can think it a gps helper.. for true values, internet must assist gps.
As you can see, when you open app, it warns you that way.

I thought barometer and altitude are intergrated on phone like magnetic compass, which it works without internet connection.

Do you have something that blocks network access, like DroidWall, installed?
EDIT: To clear up - DroidWall has the ability to block an app's access to the network for 3g, wifi, or both. So it's POSSIBLE, if you have it installed, that you have it allowed for 3g, but not for wi-fi.
That said: is it ONLY on your home wi-fi that you get this? Try it on another wi-fi network. Does it work on any other wi-fi network? If so, then if you think there is no firewall on your home wi-fi, then I think you're wrong.
it does not on any wi fi network and I did not installed any kind if firewall app

Not a very large sampling size. I'd try some more.
EDIT: someone else on here was having trouble with a web site on wifi, that worked on 3g. Turned out he had issues with his hosts file. If you're rooted, look in /etc for a hosts file, and see if it has addresses for vlingo in it. I don't know what those addresses might be, you'll have to research that yourself.

the folder is actually created by an apk to prevent ads in games and there are done urls that are redirected to some IP will look if vlingo is in it
EDIT: deleted the file still doesn't work one thing I noticed it gives.error when it hear noises if I don't make any noise then no error it just waits for command

Did you reboot after deleting? (incidentally, you should ALWAYS back up files before you delete them...)

Hmm. Well, SOMETHING is blocking your phone from getting to vlingo's servers when you're on wifi. ... But I've run out of ideas, if you're SURE you don't have a firewall on your home wifi, and you got rid of your/etc/hosts file.
How many other wifi networks have you tried this on now?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I woke up and voila it works with home wi fi . don't know what happened :-D now the market problem remains only. market apps not showing
EDIT: again the problem :'(

check the location for which the app is showing weather and time for.
for some reason it's not always very good at updating your current location.

[REQ] app that makes portable hotspot for wifi

Hi.
im wondering if theres an app that can make a portable wifi hotspot FOR THE WIFI U ARE CONNECTED TO.
I know I have portable wifi hotspot on my note 2, but its only for mobile data not for wifi.
Why not just connect to the router itself?

In moments such as where you don't want to give your routers password for a stranger for a temporary purpose..
I also need this...
I don't think there's an app that can do this. If you use the wifi radio to connect to a router, you can't use it at the same time to create an hotspot. I'm quite sure of that. Sorry for my bad english guys
