I am still thinking if getting this phone in a day or so how is this phones GPS for say geochaching and hiking?also compass say compared to the droid razr? Thks
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
GPS works very well especially if you are in an open area. but its slower in cities with tall building like chicago
I use it with Endomondo and it works great.
Ok thanks does the compass work good ? I am still debating between the razr and this one that's all

I think it might be the app, I did try that one and was having issues with it. Thats why i moved over to the other app, it just works alot better. The one down side is it cost 10 bucks but imo well worth it
Yah I looked on there website in the faq and it said if u are using cm there is a bug that is cms and it
Makes the app c:geo to not work right with Howard the caches from u so that makes it not very good for us
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
IMO, c:geo is the superior app except for the compass...it has never worked well for me on any ROM or phone. The official Geocaching app compass just works. It's just sad how much better the iOS version of the Geocaching app is. The iOS version from 2 years ago was better than the current Android version.
Doesn't really matter to me anymore though...I use a DeLorme handheld for geocaching now.
Thanks everyone I got a droid razr
Because of the battery and hdmi .

Screenshot it works and you don't need to be rooted to use it. You can get it on the market.
That's a paid app tho. I wont use it enough to warrant buying, but will use it more than 5 times. Thank you tho.

one of iOS 5's big new features are the notification based alerts/notifications that will built into their new update.
I see that there r some apps one the market currently that try to utilize this technology (notably Geo Note), but Apple will undoubtedly set the standard for fully realizing this idea...for now.
A couple of dev buddies of mine who are iphone users think this will be another game changer. Thoughts???

Locale is the big android location app. It's been around for years. Having used it I'm not sure what kind of game changer it will be. Location based services are terrible on battery life.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda premium
The iOS5 location based notifications are a little different I believe.
For example, you can set it for when you leave somewhere, it might remind you to get your keys. Something to that extent.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
Its pretty neat at a technical stand point, but I for one wouldn't use it because it probably has a big impact on battery, so I wouldn't leave of on for half an hour just to get reminded about my keys or to stop by a grocery store.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Just out of curiosity, given maybe 8 meters for good GPS reception would it really be useful since you'd already be well out the door before it could remind you?

There have already been a few threads about this issue. Solution..pay a measly sum for the premium ap.
I started a thread about the same issue then i decided to pay the 1.50 for the premium app and it was a smart choice would have done it sooner if i had the chance you wont be dissappointed

I'll say that some of the best apps I have, I paid for. Especially titanium backup pro....wow. That one pays for itself with the time it saves me during restores on flashing roms with my infuse.
OK so I'll buy it. I can't believe the free one wouldn't work though. Strange.

Not trying to be a buzzkill for people who bought the XDA app or anything but I'd highly recommend getting the Tapatalk app instead, which is basically the same app but without the XDA "skin". It's also more regularly updated and you can use it to access other forums. The development for the XDA app seems to have pretty much stopped.

I did consider the Taptalk app but i thought buying the XDA app was more appropriate as i was donating towards the good of the XDA community.It`s the lifeblood of us Android fanatics.

I bought the XDA app for that reason, but I use the Tapatalk app. Had I realized that the XDA app wasn't going to be updated frequently for bug fixes I wouldn't have bought it. Supporting XDA is one thing (I have an 'I supported star' for example) but buying an app and having it not work is something else, which is why I personally recommend people buy the tapatalk app. It works, gets updates for bug fixes, and handles most of the forums out there, not just XDA.
In case you didn't know, Google Now is available for root users. We are running ARM v7 processors, so follow those instructions.

It's been available for a little while, but now it's almost fully working, just a few bugs here and there from using it, But it works pretty consistently with voice and everything. Love it.
Flashed it last night and has been working great. ^_^
Only issue I've seen was the ones they listed where I can't use the back button but doesn't affect functionality at all

Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk 2
Didn't think I'd like it as much as I do but particularly the improved voice search function is pretty sweet. It's nice to be able to give the phone more natural commands and have it pick up on it. It also doesn't seem as impaired by rushed pronunciation as 4.0 and below.

No matter what I say, when I tap the mic or hold down search and it auto mics, if i say anything it always does web search. Never commands for anything. Cant create new calendar entry, cant text, etc.
I installed this on my evo 3d just 30 minutes ago just for the heck of it and what do you know, baaaaaaaaam works like a charm. Didn't think it would work since they were saying only sony android phones hmmmmmmmmmmmm o well I dont want to jinx it but hey this is the best thing that ever happened to Android point blank period. Enjoy guys, cause im loving it.

We DO NOT past links or even talk about getting a paid app for free. These devs work extremely hard at their apps and to not support them is garbage. I suggest you go hang your in shame and keep those links to yourself
