Wheres the compass? - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Hey Folks,
I've read a lot of specs on the LGV30 and they say it comes with a compass...where is it cause I cant find it, LOL

The compass is hardware based. You can access it using a tool like GPS Test.

It does have a compass. But you need a "compass" app to use it. Or GPS app or some similar software that needs it.
Like the FM radio. You need an app with GUI to access the radio.
Go to the Google Play store and choose any compass app you wish and it will work. They're many. Search "compass". Or click this link.

Ndrive is alright. Froze up once but I think it was due to the phone overheating whilst sitting on the dash in my car.

Could you please tell me how you reach that you are able to see app in market? I have no success with.
which app are you using for market enable?
which ROM are you using?
what name of app are you search for?
I tried two market enable application and nothing works. I also FC market app, deleted all app related data and tried it again, but without luck. I really don't know what I should try to.
For market enabling, I use an app called market access. I have attached it here. Its dev says that its a clean re-write of market enabler. It already has the market codes for many countries.
I used it with setting to USA T-Mobile. And I searched "Cannon easy-photo print" in the market.
The Market Access app has worked with like 10 different ROMs on different phones I had before. Anyway, I tried it with 2.2.2 stock and now on mik_os CM7 and works well in both.
Hope this helps.

...But the Market Access/Enabler DOESN'T WORK on non-rooted phones.
I've tried it on a stock 2.2 Milestone as well as a 2.1 MB511 Flipout. Seems my only hope
is for someone to post the 2.0.0 .APK! (and all future updates of the EPP)
Sorry. I can't find it in the market even with the market access.

It cannot be downloaded. It is for US/Japan only, maybe someone could try via some proxy, or simply wait until someone leaks it.
Executive summary - do not buy from Canon. (Also, complaining here will not help, contact them and tell them what you think about advertising unavailable stuff on their website.)
People who cannot download it - if using CM7, update to mik's 6.5.7 (or 6.6.1 if you are on 6.6 now). The market download should work again.
wow,just wow. Motoprint is also unavailable for Malaysia. Canon EPP is undownloadable.
Canon actually manufactures most of their products here! I'm starting to get why
Motorola owners seem so pissed off, their Androids are completely uncatered for.
Hello dr.notor,
do you have this app? Can you please post it to this forum as an attachement? I am from CZ also and I do not have access to it from android market :-(
Thank you very very much

Navigation System in google Maps not available for my country?

Hi All,
Google Maps already installed on my SGS2 as you know but when I want to navigate, it says navigation not available for my country>>>saudi arabia...
What can I do to have navigation for my country? I searched this forum but didn't get anything or for some other smartphones.
I shall be thankful for help.

Just download and install the apk, you don't need root...
This doesn't unlock your original Maps but installs a different modified one that supports world wide navigation, so if you've got root you might wanna freeze the original Maps along with Navigation, Latitude and Places and install the apk with the modified ones.

Thanks a million hank00k for your reply.
I tried that apk but failed to install over the previous version. There is no method I found in that thread on how to install in un rooted devices?
Well I don't exactly remember which post I downloaded mine from but I guess there's a different version for non root users.
Here's the apk I use, give it a try

I mean, I used the method posted here, and it works great in my country, why is that I can't do it 'officially' and have to resort to a hack to do it?
do you know the reason?

so, your search records are 'owned' by b. gates (M$OFT) instead of the CIA (google)
I don't see what's so weird about it. different search engines turn up different results, even once you ignore the paid results...

funny. I was unaware of the difference.
wonder why my stick figure comics page comes up from bing sometimes?
low stats and I never submitted it anywhere but google and Yahoo.
If you can get over the fact that it comes from Microsoft, the Bing app for Android is actually a pretty good app.
Here's a review of it: http://www.androidcentral.com/bings-android-app-redesigned-brings-bit-metro-it
I use the maps piece of it as I find the traffic overlays are more accurate than Google maps traffic.
The issue from the other thread (which unfortunately escalated into a shouting match) is that the latest version of the Bing app has something going on whereby the market thinks it is not compatible with 2.3 roms (I've tried both IHO and asop) and you cannot download bing if you are running one of these roms. If, however, you download Bing using a 2.2 rom and then restore it to a 2.3 using Titanium or another backup program, the program runs fine.
I don't have many more details than this. If you want to help debug and solve this probem, please post! If you are not interested, please let us work on this without snide comments about "why would you want to use bing?"
And please, do not post in the IHO thread. All Bing discussion should remain here.
Only bing I care about are cherries and Crosby.

Afraid i'm little help.
I rarely to never use the market... haven't flashed gapps in over a month (never yet on iho)
I always search out app downloads on the interweb instead of using market.
if you try 4shared.com you might be able to get a current version of the bing app.

Yahoo uses Bing's search results. If you submitted to Yahoo, it's also on Bing.
While it doesn't show up in the google market it does in fact show up in the Amazon app store. This seems to be either an m$ issue or a market issue. Not sure why everybody is so passionate about this as there appear to be multiple ways to install it all legit like.
Unfortunately, the version in the amazon app store is very old (version 1.02.530.20110404 which is from April.) The latest version in regular Android market is 2.0.546.20010811, released August 15)

As pointed out amazons app store as amazing as it is. It is lacking in updated apps. Partly because the approval process is a pain in the ass and partly because some devs stop messing with amazon because of the trouble to get updated apps pushed.
Another thing amazon app store doesnt check your phone to see if you can install the app all the time. Only if the dev has specifically done so upon uploading. I can download apps that will not work on my optimus from amazon and android market has it hidden from me.
There's noway that someone could just post the apk?
So i'm running IHO id have to flash like bumblebee or something? download bing, backup and then reflash iho??
Or just get it from Amazon
Sent from my LG-VM670 using xda premium
Ok but the one on amazon is an old version.
To me, the issue is not so much having someone post a copy of the apk (which is really a band-aid fix.) Rather, I'l like to harness the collective brain of this community to determine a root cause and see if we can find a fix or patch.
For example, is the issue caused by the market seeing O/S 2.3 and thinking it's not compatible?
Or, is it caused by the carrier ID code? (So, for example, can we use Market Enabler https://market.android.com/details?id=ch.racic.android.marketenabler&hl=en to work around the problem?)
What's wrong with Bing? its not like anyone uses it >.>
so i tried market enabler and i still wasn't able to see the bing app on the market. But i think that market enabler does not work with the latest version of the market. is anyone here on a 2.2 device? try to download bing please!
