Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone knows why I can't use google navigation (in Belgium)?
Also there seem to be no good gps softwares on the arket for legend.
I can't drive my car WATCHING google maps 'my location' without clear directions/spoken.
Any advise appreciated!
Another thing that is not possible is voice recognition, hos is it possible that HTC decided to block this on Legend? Unbelievable!
Thanks!
Navigon, Sygic, iGo... pretty good imo
try CoPilot.. it´s not free but close TomTom. maps are available for almost everywhere
I am using NDrive
I bought iGo and I must say, its pretty good, its fast, it fixes the position in seconds and I just love it
I was hoping that by the time Ill by my Legend, there will be tom tom for android, but theres not ... so
best one for me is the sygic, very similar to tomtom and very reliable.

Because Google didn't enable it yet for Belgium (it's only available in US & UK).
You could always install Brut's hacked Google Maps, which enables Google Nav for unsupported countries ;-)
sygic is the best!
Navigon
I have a very good experience with Navigon for Android.

Well, I did install a "workarounded" maps found somewher on this forum, and apart from the fact that it unexpectedly did a total makeover of my phone, it only is another way to find out that Google Maps is not supported in BeNeLux.
You can choose routing, only to get a message from google that maps is not (yet) supported for my region.
Presumably routing needs additional data from google or they found a way to block access again.
I guess the latter, as I tried to travel around in the US with the same result.
I had the exact same problems (also got belgium HTC Legend without voice recognation and navigation) BUT: you can get it working farly easy.
Here is a link to the google navigation BRUT mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
Brut.all made the google navigation work everywhere even in Belgium.
And since 18/05 it even has voice guidance.
For the Voice recognation (Voice Search) I've uploaded the one that works for me on megaupload: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AV5QM1CZ
If that doesn't work try searching google for voice search apk. I've tried at least 10 since I found one that wasn't giving me an error.
I'm using Navigon and I'm really happy with that..
copilot
I didnt think irealand was big enough to warrant a satnav (jus kidin) i am using copilot cracked iff anyone wants the apk file pm me i find it by far the best one around i have tried most.All you need is the apk once installed it dloads current maps automatically and also speed cameras.
iGo is great.

I'm pretty sure I've already posted this, but I can't find it, so I'm posting again.
So I installed sygic, but it won't load any maps even though they are in the right directory "/Maps/xxx/xxx.pak".
I also tried "/maps/xxx/xxx.pak" and "/maps/xxx.pak", but ut doesn't work.
Anyone's got a solution for this ?
nobody ? __
when using the correct *.mlm file it should work *.mlm file is in maps folder...
you better could look here for more info and how to's

So Skype is working on many Android phones, just not on the HD2 (or at least I havent found a way to get it to work). Couldn't find it on the market and downloading it on skype.com does not work either.
Does anyone know why? I mean if it us running on other Android phones, is there maybe a third way to get the application on the phone?
Skype works on the hd2 but they removed from skype.com
Search here or google for "skype windows mobile 6.5" and
you will find a link to the client.
Sorry forgot to mention that I also run Android on my HD2 and are looking for the android version of skype. Any ideas where I can get that from?

Yea I did, its not on the market. Who here is using Skype on the HD2 with Android and how did you get it?
I was able to download skype from the android market. Installed successfully but once you try to actually chat or call.... it force closes he app. I hope somebody figures out a work around for this
i'm with 3 and managed to get it downloaded from their portal as they are heaviliy promoting skype.. but to download it you need to be on 3 i think

That's very strange. I downloaded, installed and ran Skype from the Android market yesterday. Just did a search for 'skype' et voila.
Hi guys
It used to be a microphone beside the google search widget.
when i was on 2.1 Brazil firmware it was there, but now I updated the phone to Rogers generic firmware and there no sign of that mic .
just wanted to know how can I active that mic again?
thank you
Wow, lucky that you made this thread!
I have exactly the same problem after upgrading my firmware, but on the Samsung I5800 phone (I guess the apk file is the same).
Bump!
Look in your applications to see if "Voice Search" is installed. If it's not maybe that's the problem, I don't know why Rogers wouldn't allow it though??? I could try to get the .apk from my phone if you need it but I can't post this here as it's not open source. PM me!
Hahah I was searching for the same thing today. There is the older version of the app you can download in the Themes and apps section put so fr it does not work on 2.1. The app market says the voice app is for 2.2 or higher. I would love to have the voice there though. I am temporarily using Vlingo but it is kinda ****e.
Hi to all At my wits end trying all sorts of tricks to get this tablet to work and was told to join this site as it is the best. Basically I bought a 7 inch tablet in Greece and it has a flavour of android on it that can't access the google app store. It uses something called 'slideme market' which is apparently like google apps. from all I've learnt I believe I have to put on a new standard version of android. I know it's called 'rooting' and thats about it ! Can anybody out there point me in the right direction or offer help please. I'm fairly new to all of this... including the use of forums ! I can get any tech info out of the system which is made by 'Crystalaudiovideo' but they tell me there are no plans to upgrade the software as it involves buying licences...Thanks guys :good:
Hello,
I'm a happy owner of the dual-sim Galaxy Note 2 (N7102). The phone was released to the Chinese market, hence there is no Google Apps or Google Play. Recently Microsoft has changed the way they distribute Skype and any APK I download claims to be incompatible with my device.
I'd appreciate it if somebody with Note 2 could share Skype APK with me. Thank you!
Hi, this is an update. I found an excellent site where they provide the latest versions and I've just checked that the version downloaded from there works on my N7102: skype.en.uptodown.com/android
