Location sharing app other than latitude?

Does anyone know of an app where my g1 can track another g1 via gps? Basically, if Latitude would actually update for me, that would work. Im still playing with it to get it to work but it seems to have problems updating regularly.
Anyhow, I'm just wondering if there was an alternative to Latitude so my wife and I can see where each other is. No I don't suspect cheating, I just hate having to answer calls on my way home from work to hear "Where are you so I know when to start dinner?" If I share my location, she knows right where I am and I can continue streaming pandora in the car.
Anyone wanna try to tackle this if there is no good alternative? I need to find a "Android Development for Dummies" book.

You could try Glympse. It's concept is a bit different though: It allows to send a text-message or e-mail with a link that one can use to track you. You would have to do that every time you start your way home though. It also is more real-time than Latitude, therefore draining the battery more quickly. Either way I recommend you to give it a try.

Glympse is very cool, especially the browser app that goes with it.
It was exclusive to android i think with iphone coming later, so its a quality app, no question.

According to the website of GLYMPSE , the app is available for Windows mobile phones too.
It says you can download it on the marketplace for windows mobile
I am looking half an hour now for that program, but cant find it..
Can somebody / anybody please sent me a link ???
Your help will be appreciated !! thanks

[Q] Can I use Skype on 3 in unofficial ROM

Hi, I am in the UK and with 3. My galaxy S came with the Skype on 3 and it can call phone numbers for free. (You still need Skype credits.) I think the way it works is it actually dials a 3's service number and then you get redirect to the phone number you want to call.
My question is:
1) If I flash to other ROM, can still use Skype on 3 for free? I make a lot of international calls by Skype...
2) Can I flash back to 3's official ROM?
Cheers.

there is no skype for android yet
at least not officially
the next best thing like skype + video VoiceIP is Fring

I hate you so much right now
Does it have video call?
I tried fring and even the voice was a disaster...

voiceIP only it seems
also it FORCES YOU TO TURN OFF WIFI so that you can only use GPRS/EDGE/3G to use skype
so that was the deal, so that you can't get away of their data plans
IMO it's useless if you can't use it on WiFi
i'm going back to Fring for Video to Video chats

Is there any trick to use video chat (besides fring) on yahoo/gmail/skype with a PC?

Service no available in your area

Same for me in South Africa on 3G

it'll only work if you are using the "3 network" from UK
you can install and run it, but it wont let you connect to make a call

I cannot transfer the application to my phone, it says that the file format cannot be transferred, is there any other software I have to upload to my PC before downloading the application? I'm on 3 Ireland and they haven't release skype for this phone here yet. Also Phone is on vodafone but unlocked, therefore I do not have 3 Ireland d=software installed yet
Thanks

you need another browser, like SkyFire for example

Hi guys, I've one question for who is using skype on three..Did you notice delays when someone is texting you? i mean, i get like 30 50 minutes delay on each text...is that normal?

Marketplace Browser and Downloader for Windows Phone 7

Zune is a wonderful application for finding and installing Windows Phone 7 applications on your phone. The other alternative is to use Market Place application in WP7 handset. If have an HTC HD2 which doesn't support WP7 officially, but thanks to XDA Developers and DarkForcesTeam, I am running WP7 on this handset with no issues.
Initially, when I upgraded, I couldn't connect to Windows Market Place and browse or install applications because of Windows Live Services Registration (which I later resolved). So, I wrote an app to resolve my problem.
What this application does is, that it allows to browse for free apps on the marketplace, and download them to your hard disk which you can later use to deploy to your handset manually (developer unlocked phone or ChebronWP7 unlocked phone). The interface is pretty simple and serves the purpose. The only pending thing is automatically deploying the downloaded application to the device, which I will leave for a later date (anyone to help me out with this).

Oooh noooo!! Same here...so sad, happily downloaded lot of promising apps...none of them can be installed.
EDIT: The first app listed in the first post is claiming that the device has to be unlocked. The second app listed in the post above is claiming that the app hasn´t a valid license.

Any ideas?

marketplace
It seems that PPCBOY has something done right on his 7008 rom wp7 my hd2 has the full use of marketplace and zune so you might want to check it out your activation key will still work

[App] SciLor's GrooveMobile Alpha 1

SciLor's GrooveMobile Alpha 1 (2011-05-29)
I am currently working on a version of my GrooveMobile for WP7.1, supporting background listening.
Due to I have no phone for testing, is there anyone who likes to test the current state of the application? You will need an "open" phone, because this app may only find its way to the market if it is nearly bugfree.

Just downloaded it; will install and try out later. What info would you like?

Just interested in, how stable it is, especially how fluid the stream is.
It will cache all songs you have played in the Apps Internal Storage.

Same problem here, on my Trophy...
On the emulator it runs completely fine though.
Edit: Is it possible the crash occuring because our phones have OS version 7.0 and not 7.1 ?

I know the problem its for 7.1

Hi Scilor, nice to see you developing for WP7
I am have a HD2 running NoDo and it fails to load also

Its for wp7.1 maybe thats the problem.

i guess its programmed with sdk 7.1 which are the mango beta tools
so actually its for wp7.5
keep up the good work.
but keep in mind, i think musicshark got deleted of marketplace because it didnt had a licence to access the grooveshark libary
the xap was available for quite some time but now it not workin anymore

One thing I noticed when playing around with this in the mango emulator: if you start a song and go back to home (so background music is playing), selecting the program again opens a new instance and the old instance keeps playing the music

Now that Mango's out for devs, we'll be able to test your app
Will try to install it as soon as get Mango

It doesn't seems to work with the last WP7.1 tools.

Doesn't work on my Omnia with Mango. When I tap a song it crasheds
And on the emulator of the beta 2 SDK, keeps loading then crashes :/

I think its due to I have built it with the Beta 1 SDK. I will rebuild it with the Beta 2 SDK soon.

I also suggest to include a Exception Popup, which displays the Exception (and maybe an additional button to send the exception to you via email). I could send you a sample how it's achieved if you want.
greets toolsche

Can't wait for further development as I used your old app. Seems to crash upon trying to play a song. Sign in and such will be nice! Thanks a lot!

Similar experience on my mango phone, crashes when selecting a song. Looking forward to this app!

I asked access to the API on their website. But they said no because they are working on a WP7 app. Can I use their API by other way ?

[Q] Chromecast works on all devices except my laptop ChromeCast support doesnt know

Hey guys, a day ago I received my chromecast device and I was so happy to unpack it!
I plugged it into my tv, everything seemed to be great.
The setup went easily and it wasn't hard or anything at all.
Everything worked fine,
My phone,

Everything works . For everyone.
Except for my laptop.
I own a asus n75SF laptop, it always has been okai and never had any trouble with it really, I have AVG internet security business edition 2013, the same as the anti-virus software I have put on my parent's their laptop, and my brothers.
I have checked all processes, but nothing out of the usual seems to run .
My wi-fi connection is great, and my router settings are fine.
Some how tho, my laptop cannot find the chromecast device.
I've tried several things, reinstalling, updating all my drivers , reinstalling driver software but wihout any luck.
The first thing I did was contact the chrome cast support , and sadly after explaining all and everything they did not know what it was.
Router : Netgear n900
Laptop : Asus n75SF
OS : Windows 7 64BIT Ultimate
Wi-fi : 2.4 gHz
Chrome browser version : 31.0.1650.26 (Official Build 228807) beta-m

Same Problem here with Windows 8.1.
Chrome Browser isn't finding the Chromecast although the Windows Chromecast config app is finding it.
