SO i dont have to pay so much for copilot and i know :/ but i would'nt be the only one im sure youve downloaded something before.
You might want to cut this conversation right there or you're going to get in trouble here on the board. Try a google search or an other forum. XDA doesn't allow this kind of stuff...

Discussion of warez are more than frowned upon in this community, so you should end this discussion here and now. However, regardless of the possibilities, Copilot has an activation system that is tied to the phone, so go and buy it because it is *fantastically* cheap for what it is!

Dave
Thanks everyone for your advice and sorry for posting this, also is co-pilot really that good (in the UK)

Copilot is better than my dedicated Garmin navigator although it got me in a bit of a trouble in Gotherburg (Sweden) the other day. I shouldn't trust modern technology so blindly

Can it be used as an effective satnav without using internet ?
Cheers
Yes, Copilot downloads the maps to SD card, so you do not have to be data connected to use it.
On a recent trip from Portsmouth UK, to Alicante ES, Copilot performed so well that I didn't need to use the dedicated Navman unit I was planning on using - which is good because it's route was some 4 hours quicker than that offered by Navman, and proved to be an eerily accurate estimation!

In short: Yes it can. With internet connection you can get additional services such as traffic data etc.
EDIT: Here's their website: http://www.alk.eu.com/copilot/android/
Here's a youtube video review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCkSsf85PX0
PS. Please support the developers and buy this app. It's quite an amazing navigation app and it is not even that expensive as the other ones tend to be.

If you have bought an app through the Market then it will remember it forever. That means that you can install it as many times as you want. For free.
You will not get any other answer from me. Although there is other answers.
End of discussion.

can someone please kick him?
btw, stealing copilot would not work because you have to register, and you're only able to register when they see that they got money from you

well, because some of us can't buy apps, Checkout not supported in my country, so i kinda have little choice....i need a good docs app, i need editing, i am open to suggestions on how to get it and what are my free options
why dont u try GDocs? Syncs to your google docs a/c and u can add new txt files and have it synced to your com and finish the editing there. better than nothing.
GDocs (Free app)
please DONT steal copilot!
I am also in a country that can not buy apps. That is no reason to steal from developers who put their effort in building an app that is really worth its money. I used market enabler as advised elsewhere on the forum and that works just fine!
Seriously, I bought copilot and have not regretted it any minute. Though some people complained about the support, I went through the support when I could not download it immediately (credit card validation pending, another google problem) and they answered me (after one week, when the problem already solved itself, but that shows that they are getting busy and that is a good sign). To me, copilot is the kind of app that demonstrates the possibilities of android as a business model.
So bite the bullet, and see for yourself how ridiculously cheap it is for what you get!

Hello everyone, a friend of mine got a phone that really looks like a galaxy note, it comes with some kind of software that is pretty much limited.
Anything useful to do with these devices?

Where did he bought it from? If your friend isn't happy with the device you should call the company and ask for a refund.

He can't refund it because he bought it from a guy selling it on the streets (think he was fooled! and he thinks the same!)
Is something out there that can help him at least flash the phone or anything else?
Thanks
If there's no reference to Android, or if there aren't any Android-specific settings on it, chances are that it might be one of them MAUI/Cosmos UI systems that come with certain Mediatek chipsets.

What does that mean ?
Basicly he doesn't have any options like he has on his HTC @ Cyanogen. I'm talking about he doesn't have USB preferences, Wi-Fi settings, recovery mode, download mode, etc..
And being MAUI/Cosmos UI systems means what?
And in some application preferences when he press settings his MRE version is 2.3.0, i don't know if this helps or not but I would like to help him.
When he first look at the phone the sticker said it was Wi-Fi certified, and had android technology, but it's just a sticker...
I'm really sad for him!
Check about phone in settings.

There's no phone software/firmware/wtv a normal android has in options :S
a Co-worker just handed me this same exact phone and asked me what I think, I told him i hope he didn't pay for it and he looked at me a bit sheepish. He paid 250 off of some guy selling it in the street. So I in turn came here to see if anything could be done via flashing. I guess its a no-go!
but anywho, this thing is so crazy they even mimiced some apps like Plants VS Zombie, fruit slash, and angry birds. it seems as if its running on java platform. its like a 10 year old device/specs.

Since Skype updated to version 4 on Android, the DNA is no longer being supported and you cannot download the new version. Here is what the Skype representative had to say:
Thank you for your reply.
We appreciate you taking time to provide the additional information that we have requested so that we can investigate further on why you are unable to download and install Skype on your device.
We have reviewed our resources and asked our specialized team and we are sorry to inform you that unfortunately, your device is currently not supported by Skype.
We are continuously working hard to create Skype versions that support new/other devices. However creating new versions take time and may not be available in the near future. As soon as a new version is released it will be posted on our website.
We ask for your patience and understanding.
Should you need more assistance, feel free to contact us again.

Yeah, I know it's not supported. The question is why? It's a current phone with very decent specs even now that it is around 7 months old. Are you really gonna tell me that a phone such as the DNA is not supported? What's wrong? It was supported just fine before this ****ty update you decided to put out. But seriously, even if you decide not to officially support it, why not allow the option for us to still download it? I'm sure the DNA can handle it..
Very disappointed in Microsoft.. I await your reply.

We are always making sure that improvements are being made and new versions are being released. For now, we are still in the process of adding latest versions of Skype on different devices. We are working on adding more phones all the time, but we are not able to provide you with an exact time frame for when your device may be supported.

Hello XXXX,
We understand that you'd like to know why your device is not supported by Skype.
To clarify, the new 4.0 version of Skype is compatible with Android phones only. As we can see, the HTC Android DNA has the specifications of a "phablet". This means that it is a phone but has the size of a small "tablet" device.
Although most Android phones are supported by the new version of the Skype application, some are left incompatible due to the size, resolution and specification designs of the application. For this, we apologize for we are unable to provide a specific reason why it is not yet supported but we assure you that we are working on developing a version that would work with your device in the future.
We hope that we have given you an idea and we thank you for your time.

Even if it was, he/she probably has no clue why it isn't supported and may not even speak English well enough to explain it.

I was actually fairly good at my job and explained things to the best of my ability. But the moment you cussed at me, I would probably tell you to speak/act like a damn adult. If you want ro be respected, you have to give it as well. That person could have easily told you to piss off for being a whiny kid. Obviously that rep didn't know why it wasn't supported, you made yourself look like a big baby with your language and use of caps lock. You could have easily asked to be transferred to someone who may know, such as his/her manager or supervisor. Not everyone is as tech savvy as the people on this forum, cut them a damn break.

You have to look out and see what the market offers. Usually in here you get suggestions but the real deal happens where, whats ur app is worth. There was no headache for me. I went for freemium. I have a gaming app and have an in-app purchases. This by itself doesnt made me felt good. So we decided to put ads in it. Since I have tried few, I went to Adcash. Its SDK was quite easy to integrate btw. I had previous xp with adcash and i know what they are capable, so my pick was bit on loyalty too. $tats are decent also
