Just wondered why you think someone else would do the leg work for you to find a compass APK, when they can be downloaded from the market? Here's a hint - use Google!
Regards,
Dave
As said, use market to get a compass app. Search for 'Analog Compass' for example (or just 'compass' for all).
That's the one I'm using and think is quite nice.

i like "marine compass", shows off the combination of g-sensors and compass
GPS Status also shows the compass.
gackaass, if you don't have the Android market in your country, have a look at slideme.org and andappstore.com. You can also search the Android market on cyrket.com or androlib.com and then try to find an apk from the results there.
tanx for u all
but i forgot to say i can not connect to internet by phone !(ad-hoc problem you know) my carrier is rubbish in internet service as well....
so no market access !
please upload any best u know ! i will pay for it :d
tank u elmicha! i am searching!

androlib and cyrket (once it works again) are "only" frontends to the market. You could try and use a Google search for the program names that you can find there.
Or use the Website link and see whether the authors have an apk on their site.
http://code.google.com/p/android-ac/ and http://code.google.com/p/eyes-free/ showed up on the first three pages of results for "compass".
Or use slideme (once it's working again) and andappstore. Andappstore has a direct link to a "GPS status" apk.
Yes, that's not very comfortable, and it's a pity that Android cannot use Ad-hoc mode without rooting and some additional work.
You could vote for http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=82 by logging in and clicking on the little star.
Maybe it's easier to convince your PC to act like an Access Point, e.g. with http://connectify.me/ or something like http://www.lelong.com.my/Auc/List/2...ain-USB-Adapter-Versatile-Station-AP-Mode.htm.
tank u for ur attention !
i am new in android! and i dont no more about rooting!
would u plz tell me more about rooting!
and what is the advantage of rooting ! what can i do after rooting! does it have risk?
tanx
Sorry, I don't know much about rooting, you have to google that on your own (or look around here in this forum, there are even stickies for it). There is a risk of bricking the phone and also you might lose the warranty. If you don't feel confident to do it on your own and understand the risks, don't do it.
One point I forgot in my previous reply: your (our) Hero was rather expensive, maybe it wouldn't hurt to buy an inexpensive WiFi router or access point. It's the easiest way to solve this problem. At the moment you only want a compass app, but there are a lot more apps that you might find useful in the future, and I wouldn't want to hunt them down one by one like you do at the moment.
Sorry for posting here I dont know if I post at the right place but .... I have a lumia 920 its a great phone with few minor things that are just making it a pain .... So ... here is a site truewow.org this is an example of the problem if anyone can test it and tell me if it`s like that for all or just for me, the problem is that when I go on the site and try to open the dropping menus they are not active, and it only lets me copy them .... Can someone help me with this cuz it`s not just for this site it`s for many sites I use and when I`m on the run it`s bugging me out I have to search someone with android phone or I have to use my laptop which I don`t always carry with me ... Thx in advance and I hope for a fast replay

I have noticed this same inactivity with the menus on certain sites. Specifically the truewow.org site I was not able to activate the menus as I have been able to with other sites. I hold down on the menu wanted and multi-touch with my second finger on the same hand as the drop menu appears: sometimes speed is a factor with doing this. But, in general I have known this issue to be a major oversite from the internet explorer team. Unfortunately it is not just you. I also tried accessing the same site with the mobile version and desktop version settings with no avail. Now if you really want to you can use UCBrowser and use the multitouch method to access those types of drop down menus. I have not been able to consistently use internet explorer for these menus without getting severely angry. I am not a fan of the UC Browser but its all we have right now until IE gets this fixed.
Guys , haven't seen any kind of app which connects with both WiFi and mobile data to download anything for a better speed, I am not a developer, but I got the idea of this application which can use both WiFi and mobile data to download with much more speed, . so is there anyone who can develop this kind of app.. I know its a stupid question but wanted to clear it,.. Thank in advance guys
IIRC I saw one, can't remember the name though. I think it's in one of those tech news sites. (Probably XDA) Sorry i can't give you a more constructive answer.
I just got my Meizu MX4 and find several things which irritate me, was wondering if I can make suggestions for updates somewhere? Here are a few examples:
How do I get temp in C, with Display Language US English?
NearBy took an entire day to finally figure out where I live, although location is turned on and I tried to show it where I am.
Still new, more to follow if this is the place.

Do want to change this in the wheather app? That one has a settings entry for that.

As far as I know there is a bug report for this and the developers are working on it. Let's see if the next update fixes the issue.
Thank you for the response Nikwen,
The weather app is automatically the Weather Channel, the only setting possible is location on or off. I had expected it to be there.
I'll keep my eye open for the fix to my other comment and also for additional things to talk about. I'm essentially very satisfied with the user experience and am certain that once apps and scopes begin showing up in numbers Ubuntu will be a viable alternative to the others on the market.
I assume I can continue to bring up problems I find here.
Thanks again

Found the next thing, although it's probably known. In camera I can't zoom. The zoom - + show, but nothing happens.
So, I found that I can change the weather app to celsius, but it doesn't work in the weather channel and it's what's used in NearBy with F.
I also found that the Amazon app goes automatically to Amazon.co.uk, but I live in Germany, I want .de, but how?
Next, I browsed Google.com, it sent me to Google.de, what else? I didn't want that, but it's impossible to get to complete English. The Google page is English, but when I touch settings, I land in a German page.
Those are my newest grumps, I'll keep looking.
TY for listening!

WiFi hotspot would also be nice, though I understand the OS is new and time will bring new features.

Wifi hotspot is coming in the next update
It should be out in September or maybe later this month if we're lucky !
TY antole, that's welcome info. This morning I got an update, since then I get no notifications from gmail. Is that normal or do I need to make a setting? Another thing, Near By has disappeared, so I no longer see F not certain if that's good or bad atm.
I'm just enjoying playing with my new toy and thank all devs for the hard work amnd for putting up with my problems.
O
I haven't even tried the Gmail app sorry
My Gmail account is configured with Dekko
I didn't get any update this morning, was the update for the Gmail app ?
I've been running on OTA-5 for approximately two weeks now and I've had no issue with The Weather Channel displaying temperature in C but I live in France so that seems normal
My NearBy scope hasn't gone anywhere either ;p

The update was for Nexus devices only as the messaging issue they fixed didn't appear on other devices.
Back with more! Sorry to say I was overwelmed by the amount of work needed on OT and didn't want to sound like I was putting it down, so I stopped writing. Most are small, wish I could this or that. I found one today though which I had to ask about.
I tried to upload files to my P today, win7 couldn't do it so I tried Ubuntu desktop, 14.04 which couldn't mount my phone. Uh oh, what now? I can't find a setting anywhere which helps. Any advice would be appreciated.
Oh and the update I assume was somethsomething to get my new phone up to the current version. I must have removed Near By by accident, I have it back now, still in F. Must be the language, custom I live in germany but us us english.
Ty for the help!
O
If you cannot mount your phone, you can always enable ssh and use sftp to transfer files. Usual mounting should work though.
(If it still doesn't, you could try installing ADB on your computer. It might help.)
Thanks for your help Nik,
I figured it out, I needed to get into Developer Mode in order to get USB to work. Now I'm in, but have the next problem. I can only see the Home directories, but I want to download the files in the .local/share but I have no idea how to get there. On my MX4 I've gotten to the folder I want using File Manager, but how do I get there from my PC? Or more specifically, how do I download the files stored there?
O
Yeah, hotspot is here! Haven't had time to test it yet, but I love to watch UT develop.
Still hoping for a tip on getting to my files from a PC. I understand it's a kinda noobish question, but until now I've only fixed problems as they arrise in Ubuntu, haven't had time for it. Now I've started and don't know where to search for help.
And the potshot works great. Saw Cantata Nil, looks interesting, but having a problem finding servers, or do I have to set up my own server?
Thanx
O
Stupid auto correct, I meant hotspot and Nik.
I've finally found AskUbuntu, so I'm working on finding my own answers.

Use phablet-shell or adb shell.

Use network spoofer app for these. It can kick off others and change their browsing sites.
