Hi,
When i close my Copilot Hero is frezing, and i have to force close it - anyone have a solusion for that ?
Mine works fine but i have read somewhere someone else had a similar problem. They ran it without sense running. It frees up some ram. Hope this helps. Try searching for sense..

Happens to me too, so instead of closing the application from within the application, just press Home button, and then close the Copilot using taskiller.
That's what I do to avoid the freezing and crashing of touch flow.
Mine crashes as well. Something about Touchflo not responding and then restarts it.
I have found a sort of way round it though. When you exit Copilot do not touch the screen but press the power button to lock the screen and then when you press it again everything should work normally.
What is a more serious problem for me is the loss of GPS during long use of which the only way to get a lock back is to exit and restart Copilot
Is copilot available only for the US?
Another way to stop the phone freezing is as soon as you exit Copilot hit the phone button on screen to go into the dialer then just come out of it, everything works as normal after that, for some reason the phone button on the screen won't freeze the phone but every thing else does.
it depends if you are @home tab. if you launch copilot from other tab than the home tab, it freezes.
if you are @ home tab, and open the launcher (all programs) and start copilot from within, you will exit from it without freezing.

If you look at the ALK website they have plenty of global coverage with Australia coming soon apparently
Hi,
I had the freezing problem too on exit, but now copilot wont start anymore...
I tried to launch it from a link on touchflo homescreen, from "all programs", from classic startpage - to no avail. Shutdown didnt help either :<
Any pointers?
I cant even download it, Just says Authorizing credit card all the time

It does not ask for a number, It is in my market place as a paid for app, I try to install and it just says authorizing credit card, and no more, I will check out the links you provided.

co pilot freezing
Hi
I got copilot the day I got the Hero and it froze on exit as described.. Now I havent done anything ...but it now doesnt freeze at all.
I had tomtom on my diamond and really liked it but I have to admit co pilot looks very good.
I just need speed cameras for it (anyone know if the pocketgpsworld ones will work?)
how does the traffic work? TomTom traffic was a bit poo tbh
Oh yeah one further issue.. I have found the ALK tech support to be abysmal.. took them about a week to answer my query. (They sorted the issue but.. cmon.. a week)
Same issue for me.
It works for 48hours, and now its freezing on exit.

I found them pretty efficient to be honest. Here is their reply to the same two questions you want that I had asked them. All the instructions for installation are on the site it links to.
Thank you for contacting CoPilot Technical Support.
In regards to your query, I would like to inform you that you can download the latest safetycam file for your copilot via this link below:
http://safetycam.alk.com/
The traffic is not available yet on the Androids.
If you have any further questions, or feel that this incident has not been resolved to your satisfaction, please do not hesitate to bring this to our attention.
Regards,
CoPilot Technical Support

Found the answer to my problem.
The card provider in their wisdom (read stupidity) decided the card was being used by someone else and cancelled it, Now have to wait for new one to come through.
At least I know why the card would not authorise, even though all was well in Google checkout.
Cheers.

i installed todays update from market and crashes are gone (fingers crossed xd). might have to do with reinstalling it completely though, like customer support suggested
So guys, does anyone know when australian maps will be available for copilot?
Latest update cured the crashing on exit on mine too.
List of changes in the update...
The CoPilot Android software update includes:
- Faster file download and improved user experience
- Download resume functionality added
- Faster UI responsiveness and minor improvements
- Improved language support
- Various bug fixes and map performance improvements
- Support for keyboard underscores and dashes

How can the swedish people (like me) get the CoPilot on our androids? And what is the price for it?

i'm using it now, so far so good, thanks!
Keeps asking me for a valid internet connection even when I'm on wlan. It's working though... I like it
all I can say is WOW... I saw this technology working on the iPhone and was jealous instantly. Now I can have all that too. I love the business lookup. i am forever trying to find numbers for stuff really quick and it is handy to have maps and directions available as well.
ii cant get past the valid internet screen
no more java midlet... i cant wait to try it. can you mark locations and get directions also?
edit:
i keep getting this annoying error...
"This program requires a data connection, and will retry automatically. In the mean time, please check your signal strength.
(Error: wininetReadError [6])"
and thats with an activesync connection
I just tried it, but found windows live search to be better, it seems more complete

yeah i get that too...its buggy, but its all good...seems to pull up maps quicker than windows live, but live seems more user friendly...
I saw my home with this program, is really good, will be great if another gps program(tomtom, igo, mapopolis...) use this kinds of sat maps. Navteq has very updated the maps in my area, too bad that the program doesn't has more options to cordinate better routes ... Thanks for the link! I never used google before(maps, search don't like it), "Yahoo fan" lol..
No way to bookmark favourites that I can see :-(
Back to MGMaps for me which has more features if a little slow in comparison.
Awesome program! Works outside the US which Live does not.
Did you check out Option > Lookup Contact... so cool.
Windows Live Search for Mobile Devices is MUCH better.

google has always been great on features so im sure if you give feedback about the issues you've all been having they will be sure to fix/implement fixes.
issue #1, connection error messages
issue #2, no saving map markers
issue #3, no best route solution
as far as i know, the program has a gps option but i have no gps device to test it with. can someone test it with their gps please and report back.

That's what I got too. Undeleted instantly. Even without this bug, I may also undelete it since the MS live map is still much better.
i like it, but there's no option to display turn by turn direction all at once. But overall, it's all good.
Hmm this was working really well on my old rom. Today I upgraded to 3.3.0.0 and now it won't install. It comes back instantly with "installation of googlemaps.cab was unsuccessful". I've tried redownloading and running it from different locations but I get the same error. This is after a fresh rom install with no other apps.
!! Dig !!
I dig it, very quick rather than live search, not only that but sat images updated every so often is a bonus. I get the error (using wm6) connection but click ok and everything still loads with no troubles. I give google thumbs up on this.
Twice as good on BA if you ask my two cents!
Hey Guys
I just purchased and downloaded MS Voice Command 1.60 M2M and every time i try to install it I get the following error at the very end of the install:
"An unrecoverable error occurred in setup. Reset the device and try again."
It does seem to install it but nothing of MS VC works.
Having done a forum search I couldnt see any ideas so, i'm here asking for your help
Any ideas?
If I remember correctly, i'm running the Diamond TLR build ... :/
just tried SK-Tools to delete the old version and resinstall direct from the CAB file .... no luck.
Hi,
can you tell me your EXACTLY version of VC.
On some versions you'll need to change some files.
Hey mate
VoiceCommand_english_intl.exe
Microsoft Voice Command UK PPC 1.60 for M2M
Got it from Handago or something like that today
If I need new files, any idea where I might get them from?
Bit cheesed to be honest, I've bought this software, paid for it and it don't work.
OK,
to get the exact version (1.60.xxxx.x) go to Start -> Settings -> Voice Command. At the right side you see "v1.60.xxxx.x". The x's are the exact version.
VC 1.6 have problems to work since Windows Mobile 6.x. I've made a CAB for the "normal" Touch a few months ago. With this patch I get it also to work on my Diamond.
I use an extremly old version of VC (1.60.4622.0). Perhaps it also works on your version.
What you have to do:
- Intall your VC
- Ignore the error message
- DEactivate VC (Start -> Settings -> Voice Command -> uncheck "activated")
- Install my CAB (you have to copy it first to the Phone)
- Activate VC again
Here the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2031281&postcount=7

Thats the version that was sold to me earlier.... why are these online shops selling such old versions????
Will try your cab now.... brb
Nope..... thanks for your cab but still nothing .... just hold down button 1/left upside down phone and "dink".
Thats it.
Ahhh,
OK. These "old" version don't assign a key of Diamond to VC. Try to assign it manually in Settings. I use it only with my BT-headset for that. So I didn't assign a hardware key to VC.
Tell me if it works. If it's so, I'll make a new CAB with key assignment to the left (phone up) key.
thats the thing mate. The ONLY key I have assignable in Buttons is key 1 which im assuming is the phone up/left key? As it is, i've assigned this to VC and I only get a "dink" when I hold it down.
edit: seriously .... no other buttons are listed in that screen just button 1

The Diamond has ONLY this one assignable (for long press). The "dink" is OK. Did you try to say something like "help" in the phone? Did it answer your "help" with an explanation of how to use VC?
yeah, tried "help" ... nothing.
I know its not working as on my G900 and tytn before that, a little microphone icon would appear in the bar at the top - its not appearing here.
Hm,
i've tried it now also. There ist no icon... And also no reaction :-(
I never tried it with a hardware button since now. I'll try to get an answer for that. Why does it work (for me) over BT, but not on HW-key...
I'll make some tests, but not more today (tomorrow at 5 a.m. I must get up).
Tell you then my solution, if I get one ;-)

Hi,
I didn't forget you. I came home about 20 minutes ago. And I'm not realy able to think at the moment...
Is it for you OK to get (if I find one) an answer tomorrow?
Sorry for that...
mate
you are not under contract, you are here on your own free will
You help when you like and i thank you for ANY help you can provide, even if its next year!
Hi
I have the exact same problem so im also listening intensely for a solution
Hey Deeds
a few wise people are looking in to this for us. So far, we've tried a custom cab to fix it and also downloading the latest frame work from MS. Sadly, neither have worked.
You can follow the updates, questions and ideas in this thread
great thanks monty!
edit:
ive been trying for a couple of days now, with the same errror message as you.
ive also tried the patch linked to in another thread but also with no succes
and i too get the same ''dink'' sound even though i have mapped the button to VC instead of the default setting.
but it seems that this is the right place for answers so i guess i will just have to be patient
what rom are you using? I currently have the Diamond TLR, are you on a standard HTC or cooked?
and yes, if anyone in the world can solve it, this is the place they will be ... fingers crossed!
using
Rom: 1.93.403.2 danish
not really sure what cooked means ?

Finally!
This is the coolest thing to hit my Tilt in weeks! I can't wait to show it to my wife, so she can roll her eyes at me
I found a cab file and got it working. the site seems to have the .jad file
It works fine on my Tilt (and it uninstalled the previous version).
Why doesn't Google Maps Mobile have an auto-update function?
has anyone in the UK managed to get the Street View feature working. Ive tried to get some street views of london but I just get an error message saying "street view not available" :-(
no more cut and paste?
dunno if anyone else noticed but there is no more cut and paste with this release / sans iPhone functionality. I may have been in the minority of folks to actually use this feature, especially with goecaching and being able to just cut and paste the coords into the search bar and go..
Anyone know if its possible to have different versions of the same app installed on the same device? I tried renaming the google directory but that disables the app..
Very very nice. That street view is pretty cool.
I have installed this but cannot seem to be able to get street view... is this not available in the UK?

2.3.2 means you're reading it wrong, or it's not the same thing. Sure you're not looking at the Java version or something?

*********************************************************
2009-07-13 PLEASE USE THE NEW MAIN THREAD FOR FLIX HERE!!!
Flix has been updated today to 1.0.7.0
*********************************************************
Hi all.
I've decided to upload the first public release of "Flix". It's a movie listings app i've written, inspired by Cinemo, but for a UK audience. Be gentle with the comments, as it's my first foray into the Compact Framework!
First off, the features:
- Yahoo based
- Search based on Postcode or town
- GPS "Where am I" lookup
- Google Maps link from Cinema Info screen
- Call cinema direct from the app.
- Movies list cast info, Synopsis, runtime, and (optionally) a poster if Yahoo has one.
There is a little more detail on my blog (along with instructions) as I've just added it on there too.
I'm contemplating changing from Yahoo as their postcode lookups seeem to be getting more vague by the day. My own (PE8) has yielded nothing for the past couple of days even though it did previously - so if you find nothing matches up, check the Yahoo page to see what it does at that end.
You'll need to have CF3.5 installed for Flix to work.
Anyway, I'm happy to hear of any comments you have - if you have problems then let me know and I will try and help of course, and suggestions are always welcome too. As ever, if you find it useful then please consider donating!
Thanks
****UPDATE 2009-06-28****
Flix has just been updated! Changes:
-Now supports France and Germany
-Google Maps loading should work if it's installed in non-std locations
-Where Am I function now uses online Geocoding to work in the new countries
-Some improvements to parsing behind the scenes
I do still plan to update it to work in North America, however the Yahoo page is quite different so it's more work. Lots of Euro countries use the same layout as the UK so it's pretty quick to adapt. Expect Spain and Italy next...
As ever, if you find this free app of use, a small donation is appreciated (link above!)
This works really well for me. Nice one!
hey
this works very well..
in fact you need to say that its for more than uk. I am in west of ireland and it picked up one cinema. So it works for me too. I would like it to pick up the other major cinema though but still its very good... well done
Hi jmbilings, nice to see this hitting the streets, Great job so far.
Working well on my Diamond.
Oh and why not in dev and hacking?

same and im in N13, yet it still finds the nearest one (cineworld enfield)...
an idea: For future releases would it be possilble to have multiple cinemas saved, for example, it will find one near me, but not another near me, thus i have to go through the update process and lose the first cinemas results.
other than that, great app man, really useful

I think it is a problem on yahoos end, try going to their website and entering your postcode there and see what it returns, I seem to get better results if I configure flix using the name of my city rather than my postcode.
great app but unfortunately I'm in the usa, cinemo is alright but it feels like a first step and daniel gary is great for filling the gap in the app market with a needed app like this, but his is limited so far.
would it be very hard for you to tweek this a little to make it work in the states here. I really like your interface and features.
thanks
I installed this last night. What a great app! Works a treat. Many thanks for a very useful and easy to use application!!
Hi all - sorry i've not been back to check on this thread, I'm stupid busy at work and my home-time is currently spent sorting a website for a mate who was made redundant
Anyway - I still have plans for Flix ,including support for other countries. I didn't do the US out of the box because Cinemo existed, but if it's not too hard to add I will do, as it gives folk the choice.
Thanks to all who have tried it so far!
Problem with listing by cinema
First of all: great and very useful app.
One problem though: when I click on 'cinemas' and then 'Odeon Wimbledon' and then the clock icon for listings the software just crashes. Any idea why?
Thanks for looking into this issue, Alex.

Hi, I entered "SW19 2DX" as post code and it happened, but also when entering just "Wimbledon". I'm using this app on a HTC Touch HD by the way...
I also tried updating all data because I thought it might have been a problem with the data download - but unfortunately the crash still happens...
OK, i've just tested that here and it works fine.
I think it's not a data problem but something else.
What resolution is the HD offhand? There is a little bit of code that makes the button "bounce" bigger and smaller when tapped for UI feedback and I wonder if that does something odd on a different resolution... do you get any details of the actual error? (it may have a button at the bottom for more info; although you might need to install an extra .NET cab to give full details)
Have you tried going the other way as well? i.e. look up a movie and click the clock; does the same happen?
Cheers, and sorry you're having trouble!

Thanks so much for looking into this for me. The Touch HD has a native resolution of 480x800 pixels. When I go to a movie and then click on the clock it shows the times at Odeon Wimbledon just fine.
And very interestingly it now WORKS via the cinema route as well - how odd is that? Maybe because 'Wimbledon' only uses 1 cinema, whereas the post code found quite a few?
I'm just trying the post code again just to be sure...downloading data as we speak...
That is odd; I used the postcode as you mentioned and I get several cinemas:
Cineworld Wandsworth
Odeon Streatham
Empire Sutton
Odeon Wimbledon
However they all list showtimes without problem...
If it still happens, see if you can get any details on the error, otherwise i'm a bit stumped!
All good now, data download finally finished (b****y GPRS here at work) and no crashes anymore...
Maybe me restarting the device in the morning helped.
Sorry for troubling you and thanks again for trying to help. Keep up the good work as this is a great app!!!
Name: JustAnotherMaps
It`s Just Another Maps based on OpenStreetMaps maps data. It does not use Bing maps. This app supports these features:
• Zooming
• Routing
• Searching
• GPS/Cellular/Wi-Fi location.
The main benefit is that OpenStreetMaps have a better map precision and geographical coverage especially in Western Europe, Asia and etc. The trial mode has all features except routing.
This app is built on these projects: OpenStreetMaps, CloudMade, DeepEarth, Nominatim.
Updates:
Version 1.5: Speed up the map downloading process
Version 1.4: Improved multi-touch behavior, added “follow me”, added "route here from my current position", fixed some minor bugs.
Version 1.3: Added a locate me feature and fixed non-US locale issue
Version 1.2: Added a "Locate me" feature.
Version 1.1: Added a "run under lock screen".
Download Link: http://social.zune.net/redirect?type=phoneApp&id=099fddd0-5404-e011-9264-00237de2db9e
Hi tested the test version. Please some things:
Wishes:
- Add a button for center the map to your current position (like in bing maps)
- Add to the test version a way to test the routing (maybe limited to 10 km radius)
- Add a list for "Favourite Places" and a "Home Place" (needed for fast routing)
- Maybe you can get more input here: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android
Corrections:
- If i search for the city "bingen" i get "Ooops something is going wrong. Please restart the application"
- Multiple finger zooming is a little bit slow (hangs)
- Scroll left right with fingers is also little bit slow (compared to ta maps / bing maps)
Conclusion:
Nice work. If i can test routing and it works well i will definetly buy it.
I would love to see your app getting in the future more to a nice little openstreetmap navigation app.
Hi,
thanks for this info its really great that you find a time to add some words on it.
"Locate me" feature will be added in next version right now Im testing it. I will look at scrolling and multitouching zooming.
Is this error message appear everytime you try to search something or only on word "bingen"? On my phone everything is okey with that query as I understand its a city in Germany=)
yes. its only with the word "bingen" and yes ... all the time dont know whats up there!
No problem with "bingen" on my end (paid app).

Hi all,
I`ve got a user that have a potential error on samsung Omnia with routing. If somebody try to use this application on omnia please replay the feedback here. It would super usefull for me because I dont have such device on hands and cannot test it.
Thanks in advance,
Victor
Hi. I bought your app and will now test routing here in germany a bit.
What really would be a benefit for routing is:
- Map targeting to position your currently driving - walking like a compass.
- To add start position by searching the start (e.g. streetname) or "current position" and also to add end position by searching.
- Could you add something like "current speed" at top right corner?
Thanks for the "locate me" ... it works, but best to add a button or?
Btw. I'am a c# developer for 8 years now. Maybe i can help?
Sounds Good! Probably a silly question but If I am in usa, does the tool load the maps automatically? If I travel to south AMerica or Europe is it the same? Do we store the maps in the main memory or should we use data roaming? Thanks and happy new year
I'm wondering when google and ms stop there noncense and bring out google maps.
tested today routing with my car. really: it makes no sense having routing enabled and not moving the map with current location in centered mode. you do not really want the car driver to push every 10 seconds the "locate me" button, or?
another thing is to fade out the from/to location box on top if you start "routing" ...
Looking forward to hear anything new from your side for further updates.
Just bought your app because it looked promising - especially the routing.
Tested three smaller cities in Germany... each time the app crashes.
- Nordstemmen
- Wankheim
- Langenfeld
Maybe OpenStreetMap does not recognize the cities, i don't know.
But why does the app crashes because of that?
Routing:
Would love to have direct input of start and end.
Right now you can search a position, then point at it on the map and hope, it's correct.
Would also be nice if the map turns in the direction of driving (if this is possible)
Can the app run in the foreground all the time?
Rest is mentioned before.
At the monent the app is unuseable for routing.
I can imagine the hard work you had so far.
I hope you can fix the problems and make your app becomming a cool one.
Sorry for my bumpy english...
Nice job, looks promising. The routing feature is a good think that was missing ! But it needs some improvements. The most important to begin :
- realtime navigation : a step by step navigation, or at least (to begin) a realtime update of the position (like said oOp)...
- distance and time estimation when making a route, with options to choose shorter or faster path.
At the same moment it is on the same level as Bing maps:
1. Can locate me but does not want to use GPS
2. When routed and located does not update to nw position when one is moving
Those two things need to come in ASAP, a indicator when it s using GPS and when GSM location would help for now so I could see if GPS sucks or it does not use it. Second point needs attntion ASAP to make it usable. There was no Bing maps update mentioned for january so you are our last hope.

In this version the application does not store data on the phone between launching its a limitation of WP7 SDK.

Thanks for comment.
I think you hit a known bug that was fixed in version 1.3 just update the app, uninstall and install it again.

You are talking about step by step navigation or only about feature that will rotate map to your driving direction?

No, its a limitation of WP7 SDK.

Thanks for comments I will look at your wishes. Time and distance estimation with different options is not a difficult to implement.

Hi. Nice work, it really shows some POIs in Costa Rica, my country, not like Bing, it doesn't show a thing!
My big problem is that I can only download free apps from the marketplace or the trial versions. I REALLY, REALLY want to buy your app, also my girlfriend and 2 more friends that have WP7.
Please tell me if there is a way that I can pay you through Paypal and you give me some kind of workaround to install the full version. Please! I can't pay because my Credit Card needs to be from the USA, and it is from Costa Rica. Please help me, I am willing to pay twice of tha app's value.
Regards and please reply ASAP, I really need your app!

Hi,
As I understand you can use your card even it was issued outside of USA. You need to change settings on your computer: Locale, Location, In browser. And you need change it on these sites too: account.live.com, profile.live.com.

Hi Victor, thanks for the answer. I know you can use credit cards outside the US, but that is if you are in a country like UK where Marketplace is supported. In my country it is not supported (Costa Rica, Central America).
I have tried all the things you said but no luck. The only thing that works for me is setting everything to the US so at least I can download free apps.
Regards.

Its strange that you cannot buy the app. I`ve got a few friends in Russia that sucсessfully can buy apps even in Russia the phone is not supported like in Costa Rica.
