Try locr at www.locr.com It is a very good geotagging client, imho.

thanks for your share

ok Thanks, but i was under the impression from reading the reviews that it had this capability already built in?... ok will have a look at locr

IMO geo tag feature is just a software manipulation that connects image browser/taker with the GPS.

You could also check GeoTerrestrial's GPSToday/GeoTagger (www.geoterrestrial.com). It has a lot of nice features, and does the tagging in the background if you want.

shozu works wonders, use the htc touch cab.

What the hell is geotagging ?!

Embed GPS location as a tag into the picture you took with the camera. When uploaded to flickr/picasa, the web album will show a map of where you took the picture.

I tried both LOCR and GPSToday/GeoTagger on my X1. Both either hung the phone or made it run really really slowly. A soft reset was the only way to exit the program. Has anyone used either of these successfully? If so how did you set the application up?
Thanks

I had an XDA Orbit before the X1 and had to alter the registry to enable this feature. Does anyone know if this is possible on the X1 cos I was under the same impression that this should be a feature of the X1

Any ideas how to do this without external software? HTC Touch or any other from latest family can do this...

Don't think there is a way of this right now as the camera app in Xperia doesn't support GeoTagging.

Shozu doesn't embed the GPS pos in the EXIF header. IMHO kind of worthless if you copy the pictures to something else than using the shozu uploader.

Tried locr before, but didn't find it as good to configure and use as GeoTagger.
Here's what I did to get GeoTagger to work:
Download GPSToday (http://www.geoterrestrial.com/gpstoday/)
After installing, on the Today screen, click on the map to get the map/configuration screen up.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Go to More->GeoTag Pictures. This will start the installation of the GeoTagger plugin.
When this is done, you go to the setup of the plugin the same way (More->GeoTag Pictures)
On this screen you have a button named Auto-Run Settings. This is the settings for GeoTegging in the background.
You start or stop the background tagging process with the Start and Stop buttons in this Settings screen. You alse set the watched folder for pictures and how old the pictures can be to still tag them.
If you want to tag the pictures manually (if the GPS didn't connect in time for tagging), you have to stop the automatic geotagging here first, while you do it manually. Then, choose your position (actual position or the one on the map on the map screen), select the time span of the pictures and click on "Show & Confirm". If the button only says "Show" then the autotagging isn't stopped as above. You can also select "Run" if you don't want to confirm.
On the today screen you can click on the clock to set the GPS auto update time intervall. Setting it to an intervall gives you almost instant tagging but you won't have any battery at the end of the day! Setting it to off will start the GPS as soon as you take a new picture and tags it when it gets a fix.
Good luck!

Great howto!
thank you!

I've used GPSed http://www.gpsed.com/ on my X1. It runs in de background and records my location and track. When I get home I use geosetter to match the track that is recorded by GPSed with the photo's I've taken.
Regards,
Bas.

thank u very much this works perfectly..but i had to figure out some stuff that u didn write..but now i don have to have a leo rom with footprints..this is much better and more options and features..
again thanx a million

re:
I am using Bluetooth GPS (Eztag). It is easy. I just turn on the main device and plug the receivers on the gps port of the camera, turn on the camera, keep the distance range within 10 meters, after nearly 1 minute, they work together.

re:
It sounds really easy. How did you buy it? Does it sell online, I am in Canada.

just use r3a camera software which is available in energy rom .. ull not need to use any software

re:
Yes, rather simple. I ordered it on its web.e-geotag.com Some products made in China are in good quality, like this company, which has agents in Canada. You can order local easytagger.ca.

Finger-Friendly Friends (FFF) v1.0 alpha 2 is available!

Everyone: please do NOT post in this thread. Post here instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340227
I promised you some more candy... well, here it is!
There are a couple of bugfixes and a new feature: "Send my position". If you have a GPS receiver in your telephone (such as the HTC Kaiser), you can send your position to your contacts! FFF will track your position and generate a map in Google Maps that can be opened on a PC (mobile phone browsers typically don't support Google Maps. Perhaps Opera 9 will).
It will also create a short link, so your friend won't have to type a zillion-character long address.
Address is http://www.jotto.no/fff
Enjoy!

wow,what a surprising feature. I'm gonna test it right away!!
Wouldn't work on my Vario 3 unless I used Live Search to fix my GPS position first. Cool how it knows where I am with just that short link though. Nice app.

Did you get an error message? What's stated in the "Status" field?
sweet and brilliant ideas!! downloading right now!!!
Looks like this is the new thread for FFF, so I'm going to copy what I posted in the original thread as my comments actually pertain to the most recent version of the software (downloaded Alpha 2 earlier and installed before making these comments in the original thread):
Dwimmerlaik said:
By far the best contact app I've seen developed for Windows Mobile yet. A couple of suggestions:
Allow for scrolling via TouchFlo when there are more contacts that match the search criteria than those displayed on the screen (i.e. the same condition that results in the "more" at the bottom right).
Definitely enable a setting or make it a default function for the installer to modify the registry to make this the default contact application. I don't mind tweaking the registry, but not everyone is comfortable with that.
You have a function to send current GPS location to a friend, how about doing the opposite and have a function to obtain directions from Google Maps from your current location to the Home or Work address of the contact?
In the same direction as #3, I would suggest adding two additional icons to the screen that are labled as "Home Address" and "Work Address". I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to locate some icons that would match the current default set. Clicking on either would display the address and then provide an option to obtain directions to that address from your present location.
Other than those suggestions, great application and I'm looking forward to watching its development. I love it!

hmmm need to get outdoors tmw to test the GPS function..
cant scroll down the list of contacts via dpad? and.. cant see all matches of more than certain number?
Jahnotto,
It froze a couple times, but I got it to work. I think it froze because I tried to exit out of it as it was searching for satellites. Constructively, I think the gps is kind of a neat feature but from a practical standpoint it's more of a "hey...look what my phone can do" more than a required feature. Some of the other suggestions listed would make this a serious go-to tool.
-list and scroll through all the names feature
-operating d-pad scrolling
-corporate and/or middle name search ( I have a bunch of 'Z' entries that I can't look up, they are stored on my SIM...maybe that's why)
-when you get a name isolated to one name, ability to press send key and dial directly
Are these possibilities?
Again, just trying to help and be constructive.
Thank you.
do you need a data plan to send position to a friend?

What do you mean? What's a data plan?
Update: Alpha 3 is now available! A mobile-friendly map link is generated in addition to the full-blown Google Maps map. I have also fixed a bug on the map link.
I have got lots of suggestions to improvements. I appreciate that, but I haven't had the time to reply you all! I'd better spend my time developing this, huh? ;-)
I will not add any additional features in this release. I will now concentrate on fixing bugs and improving general usablity (for example company name search, scrolling, etc, etc).

It's setup so that you are just sending the coordinates in an email with a link to googlemaps. No more data than sending an email.

I'm connecting to the url-shorten service at http://metamark.net/ to shorten the url. It's not much data, though - 100 bytes back and forth or so.
Very Very Very COOL!
Bad thing is that when you send your GPS position via email, it uses "Outlook Email". Problem is, I dont have Outlook Email, I only use Gmail so I cant send an email with my position since I cant seem to change it to use Gmail (or another account other than Outlook).

Same goes for the regular "send email" feature. I will let the user select the email account.

True... However, if you choose "In Outlook" you can choose the account it is sent from. With the "Copy To Clipboard" not working yet, I have to just wish I could use it.
I tested version 3 the last hour and found a bug.
When I get the message 'short link failed' (why??) I can't get rid of the error message.
when I did get that message and clicked it a several times away the buttons on the bottom halve don't work anymore.
Very nice program by the way and a great feature the GPS.
Would be nice if it was possible to let the FFF sent automatic every two minutes an email for example.
please continue developing. I like it very much!!
Mine is getting a fix just fine and reporting the position but I can't tap any of the links like "Send via email".
Hi thanks for a really great app!
Just one suggestion, is it possible to just post one thread for the applicaiton.
You can use the first post to attach new release. This way you will get all the feedback and suggestions in one place.
Another request is if you could just post a short version history list so we could find out what has happened to the application.
Again, thanks for the great work!

Happy w/ my Throttle

I'm posting this just to say how much I enojoy using throttle over the default HTC homeplug, if you haven't made the switch you should consider doing so now! the touchflo works great, flash can be tricky but is beautiful, and it runs just as fast (sometimes faster) as my homeplug did! I know there aren't many themes for this yet but I don't see myself getting away from this clean black. Having multiple slides available for calendar/photos/apps and more makes life easier! Here are a some shots of my default yet clean and enjoyable set up. Please post your custom throttle pics if you have them!

Tried it. Didnt like the lack of an actual today screen for my plugins. I use IM+ regularly and not being able to see a new message displayed kinda sucked. The ONLY way i was able to even see the plugin was to disable the calender function and enable the plugin in its screen. Even then, it doesnt autoupdate to show a new message. Sigh

you can manually add plugins to any page within throttle and..for the home page you just add the line for the plugin in the xml...its very simple..i did it for voip byut yah the auto update does kinda suck..i just hit the hw start button..it updates the page/plugins
it's sloooow...
and still feels like an addon...
Ahhhh.....can i just download and install it over any ROM's i'm using now? Or has it got to be cooked in with the ROM?

You can but L26's last B5 is SICK SICK SICK! I highly recommend it!
The TL is not that slow, you just need the good parameters (like using "paged" movements to naviguate through the different tabs / pages). Otherwise the other ways to naviguate are indeed slow (kinetik, wheel of fortune etc).
That's really a nice and useful plugin. Highly customizable and like it has been said, you can add Today Plugins in the TL, so you can virtually have lot's of them because you can have as many "tabs" has you want.
The TL in Laurentius26 TL B5 indeed highly rocks hehe.

I don't get it, this is faster than anything i've used before, maybe i've been using the wrong roms, but I doubt it. The only issue I have is the same with all my other roms, to use skyfire or opera!
the only way I found it to be useable using L26's beta 5 was to remove the calendar page (or add pocketbreeze and remove the default calendar) everything else worked pretty well.
How do I get this 'Throttle' thing, and is there any help or information reguarding installing and setting this up?
I've never flashed or cooked my ROM before, if it consists of that, and I would rather not. This seems really nice, and since I can not get the HHC program to cusomize my Home screen now, this may be something to try.
Any help?

Flashing is not hard, it just needs care.
Here is the main Wiki of the Kaiser.
To know how to flash a ROM, please read everything here. The first time you flash, it's taking time cause you are new to that game and you need to install first a soft called "hardSPL". Then you'll be able to flash (install) a ROM. If you flash this one (L26 v10 Beta6), you'll have the ThrottleLauncher pre-installed .
If you don't want to flash a ROM, you still have the posibility to install the ThrottleLaucher by yourself following this post.

As far as flashing a new rom I suggest you read the wiki on rom flashing how to's.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
It's fool proof if you READ everything! And by using a stock rom that came with the phone you are missing out on alot of Kaiser's features that you paid good money for!

[REG] 7 megapixel panorama tweak for Touch Pro, HD and Diamond.

Hey now.
Got back from my vacation very disappointed to find that my Raphael took very low-res panorama shots. I remembered someone figured out how to crank up the panorama resolution for the Kaiser with a registry tweak so I tracked it down and tested it on my Raphael and it works, pumps out 4506x1536 (6.92mp) versus 1408x480 (0.67mp). Not the best lighting for a flattering example, but look at this.
I couldn't find it in either DiamondTweak or AdvancedConfig or a Raphael forum so I figured that that makes it worthy of a thread, definitely moreso if some of you could post other nice registry tweaks that ought to belong in AdvancedConfig/DiamondTweak but aren't in there yet.
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/P3
Adjust MainCamCaptSize to 1024 and MainCamSupportCaptSize to 1744.
Be advised that the images weigh around a megabyte though the delay in taking each third of the picture is relatively tolerable. In case you don't like doing things manually, I made a cab for this on Fmstrat's Registry Changer website, which by the way I would characterize as extraordinarly badass. Though most of the samples on that page are already in AdvancedConfig, you can use the site to make cabs out of your registry modifications ... and post them here.
So fire up your favorite registry editor (like the one attached) and make the changes or try the cab which may work then reboot the phone, start the camera, switch your way to panorama and, if you're in the mood, post here advising if it worked or not. If you're paranoid, write down the original registry settings for those two entries or export the P3 section before you mess with it.
Love, Doug
awesome! is the panoramic shot a default camera function on the fuze? If so, that is sweet.
thanks for the site, btw....helped me a lot in getting my fuze up and running
so do we need to change the reg after installing the cab? i'm a bit confused.
@whitesox311
No you have to switch to the panorama mode by tapping the screen and switching to whatever looks like a panorama icon (the same place you switch to sport mode, video etc). And you are most welcome for the site! Glad you're getting more out of your phone than what AT&T left you with.
@twe90kid
No, it's either/or; the cab makes (or should make) those registry adjustments for you or you can do it yourself with a registry editor. Do one or the other then reboot.
I'm not sure if this cab can be installed with CABviaActiveSync and if someone could confirm that either way I'd appreciate it.
i just tried those settings and i got an error saying that there was not enough memory to launch it..
this was just after a soft reset and i only had 32% mem used

Hmm. Did you get the error when trying to start the camera, switch to the panorama mode or when snapping the shutter? And what rom are you using? Anybody else having problems with this?
hmm i can't really tell the difference.

Is it possible to make it more than 7megapixel for the HD? Since it has a higher res camera.
The first picture is from the HTC Fuze. Second one from HTC Touch HD.
Both are 4506 x 1536, but the HTC Fuze pictures is 96dip. For some reason I had the Touch HD camera touch focus disabled. The dpi on the HD pic is only 72dpi. Don't really know if you can get a accurate comparison between the two. All other settings were exactly the same.

@pandaboyy: Yeah, I know that's weird double digit to quadruple digit numbers but I went ahead and did it and it worked (after a reset). Two cabs because the first one should do the changes automatically but I only tested it after I had made the changes manually so I am not certain that the cab will work. The second cab is a simple registry editor if you would prefer to do it manually.
That's my desk at home; at work I only have two at work . I have a bizarrely generous friend who likes to give me nice stuff from time to time like 24" monitors including four sweet EIZO screens (Japanese), the middle two with the other two at work, along with almost all of my computing equipment. The two on the side were Chistmas presents a year ago. For my job, I'm kind of the go-to guy at a maritime shipping company for help with computers and phones, server administration and web design. Everyone else at my office has a single 17" screen but they don't know how good life is on the other side so in this case maybe ignorance is bliss. But if I were the CEO and had cash (neither are true), I would buy people second screens as it really increases productivity. And the electric bill.
At home or at work I've usually got at least four web browsers running with maybe a dozen tabs each, Dreamweaver over here, GIMP over there, email over here, a couple ssh terminals to my servers up there and down there, a Citrix-like terminal to my office machines here, FTP and explorer windows scattered about, activesync file explorer window -- it adds up, you get the idea; it would such to have to minimize and maximize all this **** with one monitor, even a large monitor. Oh, and of course I need space for, uhh, entertainment.

@borce_razor: You're most welcome! Glad to help. Regarding the screens, see above. A Samsung on the left ($430), two EIZO FlexScan screens (the Cadillac of monitors) in the middle ($????) and an Acer on the right ($350), all 24 inches, 1920x1200 each, 7680x1200 (9.2mp) combined. What can I say, I'm a lucky guy and I highly recommend you find similar luck as you get so much more done with this kind of setup.

Now that we're all sharing our 7mp panorama shots, here's one I just took.
crazy hahah
Hey d0ugie,
long time no chat .
Just wanted to know if this registry edit would make a difference to the regular Camera's quality, and if not, do you know of any which can make a difference to it?
As far as I can tell, since it's possible to bump the quality of panorama shots by such a degree, then it should be possible for the standard camera mode as well.
Thanks for the sweet find bro.
Nice find, here is my photo, I got a horizontal defect about 3/4 the way down, must be something on my end.
Edit: Wait the tweak didn't get applied to that pic...but its a nice pic none the less

What is Loudtalks?
Loudtalks brings voice back to the internet communications. It's a little application, which allows you to talk to your friends or colleagues instantly with a single touch of a button.

Release notes
Power saving mode (”Turn off screen” menu option). When you select this option device screen turns off, while Loudtalks keeps running so you can receive messages and respond to them using central navigation key.
Vibrate option (if supported by device). It’s turned on by default so when you set your status to Away or Busy your device will vibrate on new messages. You can turn it off in Settings.
Report a problem… menu option. If something doesn’t work you can send us a report right from the software.
(Hint: even if everything works please use it to send your feedback or suggestions!)
Activate contact list, when switching to Loudtalks from other applications. Now you can use push-to-talk without tapping contact list first.
Automatically select the contact, when new conversation starts. That way when you hear “New conversation” alert, even if your screen is turned off, you can respond immediately by simply pressing PTT hardware button.
The website Loudtalks.com will automatically detect Windows Mobile device browser and display a mobile-optimized page so the easiest way to get the new Loudtalks is to visit Loudtalks.com on your device

Link not found... but it sounds fun
anyway, here is the link according to the reviews, it should work on Touch Pro Sprint
However, as I understand how it work, although it's free, you still have to pay for the internet to get a connection, right? (that isn't cheap man)
Oops sorry
I've updated the link sorry
http://loudtalks.com/LoudtalksSetup.exe
There is one bug:
you cannot add or accept contacts on the ppc you must do that on the windows (PC) version
But then it works great
PC version:
http://loudtalks.com/
What are differencies in comparison with Palringo?
I don't like in PR these things:
- voice history is saved on the server and all the time you want to play them,it is necessary to download it
- you push the button and it starts to recording. after you release it,it sends it,so not realtime. how is it working here?
Anyway,it looks great.
yes it is real time and no downloading messages.
just like walkie talkies
Well,that looks great! I missed an info about history. Is it saving as some file each message or how? And it will be available for Smartphones as well? I am using SP's and it can be very good choice,if it can use all resolutions(QCIF,QVGA,QVGAls) and OS(WM2003 as well).Yes and how about transfer rate? Is GPRS/EDGE enough?
Great one!!!
Thanks
Interesting app. I'm testing now
TomasNM said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes GPRS is enough. The history (voice messages) you can find them if there is a blue arrow. if you click on the arrow you see the history of that contact. you can play them as much as you like.
Loudtalks is only available for Windows desktop and Windows Mobile based handhelds
It should work fine on devices with 400 MHz+ processor and on Windows Mobile 2003, Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 6.0.
Anyone tried this out? How well does it work???
Any plans to port Loudtalks client to BlackBerry? My team has a mixture of WinMo and BB devices. I am WinMo, of course, but some of the suits haven't seen the light yet.

Mark, this works very well. Since the update last week it is much better, faster en clearer.
Even now you get an roger beep befor you receive a message on the phone.
Also you can "send"speak to laptops and pc with speakers and a mic.
You can always try and you can speak to your self with the echo user.
I tested the echo, works good. But I cannot delete the messages. None of my buddy's got a Window Mobile. They prefer cheap old fashion flip phones.
Add me: xhypnotik
I want to see if it works with people.

Lol! They need to make a popup or whatever when someone adds you. I almost didn't see the small flag located on the bottom right hand corner.
yeah it's hard to see, but it is better then last week.
The previous version it wasn't possible to add people or accept people. You had to accept new people on a window pc.
So it will be better, i hope.
This is a great app, been usinbg it for two weeks with wifey on our Touch Pro's
Hey guys.

Nice thread
Good luck
So how can I map it to my ptt button? I installed but it didn't map it. I'm using RSW 1.6 rom. Works fine with onscreen button, but would work much better to ptt button. I can make a link to it, but just need to know the parameters.

[APP] [WM 6.5!!] |VGA!!| Pandora Radio Cab -Updated 9.29.09

Over at PPCGeeks they have posted a cooked cab that (I think) was 1st posted over here at XDA and then edited further. The graphics have been tweaked and what we have is a usable and fairly attractive VGA version. I did not make, edit or even tweak this app so my troubleshooting knowledge is limited. This will not work with every ROM but this cab works for me running ★ EnergyROM 'Genesis' (SYS 23016) Manila 2.1 - 9.20.09 WM 6.5 ★… and is fully functional!
Pandora Radio is your own FREE personalized radio now available to stream music on your Windows Mobile handset. Just start with the name of one of your favorite artists, songs or classical composers and Pandora will create a “station” that plays their music and more music like it. Pandora on Windows Mobile is fully integrated with Pandora on the web. Enjoy all your existing stations – and create new ones right from your Windows Mobile handset.
With Pandora you can explore this vast trove of music to your heart's content. Just drop the name of one of your favorite songs or artists into Pandora and let the Genome Project go. It will quickly scan its entire world of analyzed music, almost a century of popular recordings - new and old, well known and completely obscure - to find songs with interesting musical similarities to your choice. Then sit back and enjoy as it creates a listening experience full of current and soon-to-be favorite songs for you.
You can create up to 100 unique "stations." And you can even refine them. If it's not quite right you can tell it so and it will get better for you.
Updated 7/27
New cab posted! XDA member NRGZ28 was nice enough edit this cab so that it DOES add a shortcut to the start menu....thanks NRG!
Updated 9/29
New cab posted! XDA member bkress has made a cab that should help those who have the C++ Error, please see Post # 83 and and try downloading this cab at your own risk...thanks bkress!
ATTENTION EnergyROM Users
-->CLICK HERE<-- to download the exact same cab except it adds the shortcut to start/programs/multimedia for streamlined use with EnergyROMs.

When I try to install Pandora I get a C++ error!!!
This is typically caused by a some type of software that is conflicting with the installation. Member bkress has made a cab that should help those who have the C++ Error, please see Post # 83 and and try downloading this cab at your own risk
I installed Pandora but where is the shortcut?
Download the new version, Thanks to NRGZ28...this issue has been solved!! New cab posted 7/27 which does add a shortcut to the start menu.
Pandora installs fine but I get stuck at the "connecting" screen!!
Try logging on to your Pandora account on your computer (not your phone) and change your email address to a different one and then try you use the app on your phone. Also using the Advanced Configuration Tool try navigating to Network>TCP Window and change the value to 98304, Save your changes, and soft-reset.
Pandora in not showing up in my task manager?
How do I close Pandora?
This version like so many others will not show up in the task manager and will not close just by pressing the X button, you have to press menu (down on the circular pad) then select exit Pandora from the menu.
Once I have switched to another app how do I switch back to Pandora?
To switch back to the program simply click on the shortcut as if to launch it again and it will switch back to the app.
Do I need a subscription for this service?
No.
I have tried all this and it still will not work!!
It should be noted that this seems to be working for people running the newest EnergyROM by NRGZ28...you could always try flashing a different ROM. Before flashing any ROM make sure that you flash the correct one for your phone (i.e. GSM or CDMA) and follow all flashing procedures described in the Stickies and provided by the Chef.
Nice... Working better! Not perfect but better!!! Thanks for the link.
Does using this feature cost anything? I have unlimited data so I should be good right

No subscription is needed w/ this version.
So I installed to my htc fuze running sheps wm 6.5 w/manila 2 but after I put in my info an click next it goes to the blue pandora screen with the spinning thing an stays there an doesnt work?!?!?! why's that?? anyone w/some input please??
Argh, neither one works for me....

If this is old news I apologize but I thought this warranted a new thread. I have been trying for a long time to find a working VGA version of Pandora that will work with Windows Mobile 6.5 and I finally found one. This cab works for me…fully functional…and the graphics have been edited to work on VGA.
Over at PPCGeeks they have posted a cooked cab that (I think) was 1st posted over here at XDA and then edited further to work correctly. I am on T-Mobile using EnergyROM 'Magic' (23003) TF3D2.
If you would like to give it a try you can download the cab here.

I'm having a problem regarding the 'vector subscript out of range line 756' error upon launching the application.
I've got the Sprint Touch Pro CDMA version running Groove Rom 5.0 with WinCE v5.2.21815.
Anyone else run into this issue?
I've tried two different versions of the Pandora VGA "hack" and both report back the same error.
Am I missing something?
Not sure about either of the two issues above...but it has been said that other software can effect the install of Pandora...I could never get it to work with Mobile Shell 3. Maybe try installing Pandora first after a clean flash and see if it works.
Nice, works great on my Fuze!
Even the screen taps work and stuff is in the right spot now.
My only complaint would be the Fonts are still Micro, but at least we have a fully functioning Pandora.
Thanks!
Also, I have attached the file here so people won't have to sign up for a PPCGeeks account just to download the file.

I have heard this may work for fixing that...using advanced config navigate to Network>TCP Window and change the value to 98304, Save your changes, and soft-reset.

...but having said that I was having the same problem but the cab in the OP alone fixed all the issues I was having.
Thanks! On my way out to the gym and my ipod is dead and can't find the charger... So this will be the first time i take my Fuze to the gym, wish me luck! haha
also I installed it to storage card and it didn't create a shortcut to my programs :/
Sign in worked, on my way out the door... lets see how this goes.
---update------
Everything worked out well.. Buttons on the bottom are a little off and the font in the menus is small but thats just cosmetic and doesn't bother me.
It took a little longer than expected to buffer between songs :/
Used about 55% of battery for 1.5hrs of streaming and maybe 5 min of internet browsing.
When i left the gym it said 45% remaining (left the house with a 100% charge). When i got home it said 27% remaining.. i live less than 3 min from my gym, soft reset the device and now it says 30% remaining :S ?
OH yah, also you can't exit the program just by pressing the X button, you have to press menu (down on the cirular pad) then select exit pandora from the menu.
