Spotify is now releast Official - Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps

Spotify is now releast Official
http://www.spotify.com/en/mobile/overview/install-for-android/

And it works really good!!!! =)

fantastic news, but did you really have to post it in multiple forums?
can someone close the one in the hero android development forum??

oh, and the one on the hero forum.....seems someone had a spamming moment!

I dont find the Spotify app from the market with the search. Is it area-related?

Only available in Sweden at the moment, it seems. If you read the triple post on the Hero-forum, I put up a link to the apk-file.

Kiitos! (Works great, tho offline sync seams to be bit slow atm.)

Also available in Norway....

offline sync is nowhere near as fast as the video demo for the iphone appears to be.
but then again, to sync 150 songs, you are effectively downloading them all, so can't really complain its not instant!

Also i'm in the UK on a t-mo G2...
and found it late last night when was browsing through apps on the market..

Spotify DOWN YO!

Can someone explain how its justified to charge £10 a month for this service? Is it really that good?

Allows you to sync your music to listen to it offline.
Yes, IMHO, that's worth a tenner a month.

Dave

Is there any kind of trial available?
I'd like to see the full functionality before paying for a subscription.

Well, you can try the Spotify service directly on a Windows PC, but you won't be able to test out the Android client without a premium subscription.

I've being using it on my pc since the trial, but I wanted to see if reception was good enough for me to use this on my commute. I'm not quite sure what the offline listening people have mentioned is. Hence a few days trial would be enough for me to decide one way or another.

Offline listening means you can sync your playlists to your device, so you can listen to them without having to stream them from the net.
Your best bet is to buy a subscription, and cancel it if you are unhappy with the service.

£10 a month
Sorry to sound a bit cynical but whats up wi just plugging ya phone to pc and copy and paste

Copy and paste what? The desktop version of Spotify doesn't allow for offline play, so you've nothing downloaded to the PC.

I'm sure I'll sign up to this when I know I can afford it.
How long does syncing take? Would a playlist of 100 songs take hours?

Telenav is here

i called telenav and was able to get a copy of telenav, is there an interest id me linking to it ?
Wdum? Like posting the link? Idk if thats ok on these forums unless it's the trial.
its not the trial, its the full version. but you still have to have an account to use it. they will not give it to cingular users who use the g1, but i acquired a copy. and i am not sure if these forums allow that or not.
h. I'm guessing you pay for the account? I dont really know how the app works in terms of activating lol
It's $10 a month but I don't like pay monthly I don't understand why they just don't put a price to the software and that's it. Why they charge monthly?
http://www.telenav.com/gps-navigator/t-mobile-g1-phone/
Im trying out the demo version, do you wanna post a review and screenshot of it in paid apps or would you like me to?
I haven't installed it, I always forget to cancel autostart subscriptions. Although I guess I could put a reminder in my phone.
Haha ok ill put one up there, so far it works really good, a bit sluggish but i dont have the best signal right now!

Anyone and everyone requires a credit card, for auto renewal AFTER the 30-day trial.
It's almost a standard for most companies now-a-days.

Thank you. I wouldn't put my card information in a trial version of anything. That's very "uncool."
Most credit card companies will let you make a vitual card number that is only good once. I think PayPal was exploring the same option too. This way they can't make it recurring.
any idea if it'll work in UK? on US only?
TeleNav GPS Navigator problem
hey guys,
i am using telenav gps for 30 days trial. when i tried to type in an address then click ok, the display says "getting gps" 30....31...32...34...blah blah till 100 percents for 8 minutes. then it says "no gps, please move to open area".. i was in my car and been waiting till done before leave. my email is confirmed. i live in san diego.
I don't have any experience with telenav, but does the gps work normaly? Say for goggle maps?
Move to an area that you can pick up a signal, that might help.
Telenav GPS Navigation Update? How will we know?
Ok I got the Telenav GPS Navigation software and I am mostly pleased. However, My question is when and if they update the software how will I know there's a new update for the software since it isn't downloaded through the Android Market? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Well I'm not sure. See I called the customer service not too long ago and I got this guy that didn't seem like he knew much of what he was talking about. And I asked him and he told me you had to call and ask. But I think that's ridiculous. And I agree with you. You should be able to download it on the market. It is free. Its the service u have to pay for not the application. so I hope they eventually put it on there or send us emails or something. Its gonna bug me because come on, it works pretty good but it clearly needs some updates.

http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/05/spotifys-android-app-should-frighten-apple/
Anyone know if this app is out yet? Its only available to UK and some other countries. But I would like to get it working over in the US. I've never used the service before but it looks damn cool.
No, it's not been released anywhere yet to my knowledge...
There was an app released to Market yesterday and removed today Called Droidify, did anybody dl it and would be willing to share it?
http://getsatisfaction.com/spotify/...t?utm_medium=widget&utm_source=widget_spotify
I've downloaded Droidify and removed it right away because it asked for a premium account.
Yeah I was trying to locate it as well and to no avail.
Droidify
Here's Droidify I have from backup.
You DO have to have a premium account for full access.
It's a zip files, so I think you will need to unzip it, put it on your sdcard, then install from there.
(MODS: If this is inappropriate, please feel free to delete this message. I don't think it is because it was a free application).
so, how are we gonna get this to work in the states? proxy?

That's why I removed it.
I just happened to have a copy because I had backed up before doing a flash.
I was able to get spotify working on my computer but I get a force close with droidify while trying to log in and I'm in the us by the way.
to clarify...
The RIAA is slowly killing anything decent as far as web-based apps like pandora and is currently bogging down spotify's entry into the US market in an attempt to basically blackmail them into unreasonable and exorbitant royalty scales which (IMO) are entirely designed to "prop-up" and perpetuate a bloated, ineffective and out of touch industry. So my question is, for those of us that have the spotify apk, or have the droidify apk, will they stream to US based IPs? Or will the transmission be blocked (as it implies on spotify's homepage) and if it is, is there a nifty way to route the traffic through a proxy based overseas so the US users can actually enjoy this innovative app instead of being locked out by the corporate, capitalist will of the RIAA?

here's a link that let me set up spotify on my computer in the us
http://tinyurl.com/q9khoo
thx for the link
Think I'll play with it a bit and see what all the fuss is about. If I like it enough I suppose the monthly fee would be worth it. A lot more functionality here with custom playlists, caching of playlists on my mobile and whatnot. I'm currently a Pandora subscriber, spotify is offering everything I wish they could, though their pricing is much more attractive. I wonder if spotify would balk at the use of a US credit card?
The site allows you to download the official app manually if you're having problems with the market, so here it is. Still need a premium account, though. The download was free and since you need to pay to use the service, I don't think I'm doing anything bad by posting it here...
Rather pissed off I have to have a pay account, because they wont take american credit cards

It is a paid app and cannot be posted here.
It seems Microsoft is going to start loosing customers really soon, if they dont open to new Markets. What's the point of selling phone if one cant install any app? Buying a smartphone only for sms, email and IE? Ridiculous.. as to say the least...
At least Android has the possibility of downloading free apps... on Markets that are not supported yet.

GPS for Mountain Bikers

Hi to all.
I have a question for all of you:
I love to practice mountain bike, and i love to record my tours.
In fact, i also have a website on which i put all my tours (checkl my signs).
I use my tracks to record it.
What i want to ask to you is if there is any software who can "navigate me" thru the woods when i download itineraries from internet, like sygic do for car navigation.
Hope that i've explained my question clearly.
Waiting for your answers.
Bye.

Yes, there is a sw who can navigate you.
This is only one and the best one! OziExplorer ! You have to have the desktop Ozi (ozi PC) and the Ozi CE. With Ozi PC you can calibrate maps and do your tracks, than you charge your maps and tracks on your mobile device and navigate true the wood like in a town.

Google drive

Okay.. I've tried to find the answer to no avail... I'm use to being able to have a micro SD card.. Obviously the moto x u can't.. Here's my problem.. I listen to music all the time...even to help me sleep.. I have to upload all my music to google drive..but it seems I can only play one song at a time.. I've even contacted moto and they said "yeah...Google music app can do that" but I can't get it to work... Does anyone else have ideas it doesn't have to be google music app..not a huge fan...but any ideas how to play more than one at a time?

Alternatively you can play a song, then find other albums, artists, or songs and add them to the queue.

music for google play music is not stored in drive. It's separate (and uses separate data allotment as well 30GB i believe)
What you need to do is download the google music manager to the computer where your music is stored. It will upload all of it in the background.
start here https://support.google.com/googleplay/topic/1229912?hl=en&ref_topic=2999684
There's no need to put your music in drive, except maybe to share it which might get you in trouble. I'm not sure how google handles the legality of all that.
Well actually I do need to put music on my Google drive... Simply due to the fact I have over 10gb of music and my phone only has 11gb after OS....sooo..yeah.

Google Play Music player won't stream it from Drive. I'm not sure of a player that will. If you upload your music to Google Play Music as the prior poster mentioned, it is free up to 20,000 songs (not sure what the "GB restriction" may be).
You can then use the Google Play Music app to stream it from the cloud - it doesn't need to be stored on the device (but you can cache songs/playlists if you want so you aren't streaming them).

click the link i posted and READ. (it's really not even hard, but you have to realize the two services are separate)
The music gets stored online. then you can stream it from anywhere. your phone. your computer. your tablet. your friend's computer, etc.
I've got about 25GB on google music. none of it is on my phone or my N7 or my computer at work. I stream for several hours a say with no problems.
I'm not sure how open drive is to developers so I'm not sure even a 3rd party player would support streaming from drive.
If you wanted to go really crazy you could buy a cloud enabled network hard drive. You can get a 2TB drive for about $150 and hook it up to your home router and you can stream HD movies to your phone if your connection on both ends is fast enough.

No offense but we are trying to help. You can't "stream music" from Google Drive. If you want options of playing more than one song, you need to use Google Play Music.
Drive isn't 'designed' to be used in this fashion. It can play audio files, but it isn't meant to be used as a primary music player. You would be better off using other means to effectively play music. Play Music is your best bet, but if you think that's not going to work then I'd look around for alternatives. Play Music might benefit you, though, as you can cache music offline so you don't have to be connected to listen. Some good playback options are present, too.
Oh man, wouldn't it be nice if there was a service that let you store your music on the cloud, much like Google Drive, but that you could also stream from... Unlike Google Drive?
Well the good news is that I know of just such a service! It let's you store tens of thousands of songs online, for free. And, you can listen to them from any internet connected device.
Sound good?
It's called "Google Play Music" and it's what the other folks on this thread have been trying to tell you about.
Oh, and regarding you getting called out for not reading: if you don't have time read a link, then you don't have time to be replying to the person who posted it.
Seriously, if you ask for help with something, show a little respect to the people who try to provide that help.

After connecting to and having access to it, do you want to play the music? Because that's called streaming.
Playing music, that isn't on your device, over a network = streaming.
If that's not what you're trying to do, than I'm not sure what your goal is. Care to elaborate?

Hmmmm am I finally an XDA veteran now since someone called me a **** because I asked them to read something.
There was no offense intended. I was just trying to help. I only mentioned network HDDs to make the point that there's little need to store media on your phone (unless you can't get a signal of course)
XDA is generally not very forgiving if you don't take the time to READ. Even less forgiving if you are provided an answer and reply without reading it. Go through just about any question forum on here and half answers to half the topics are "do a search" or "read." If you are sensitive about it XDA may not be the place for you. We all watched the video when we signed up. We are all just NOOBs right?
Anyway I hope you've got it figured out.

To be fair, I didn't call u a ****, just said a **** move.. However, that's not the point, The artical you sent me actually never said to do this, and it'll do this... I just happen to remember someone else I know (not on XDA) that said that you have to download the Music Manager to use in Google Play Music. I did end up takeing the time to fully read it when I got home, it talked about how to use it. But as far as i recall, it never said anything about how to play music from the drive... also, I guess it never uploaded it to the drive?! Sooooooo I don't know where it uploaded to, but it lets me play from the store.. so it's VERY nice.. and your right, alot of people don't take the time to read the forums, I was actually LITERALLY just talking about that on another topic... But when I responded I was responding to the rest of what you had mentioned... Long story short, it all works just fine..
Did you get it working?
Do you understand how google play music works yet? cause you still sound confused..
Google music has nothing to do with google drive, or how much free cloud storage you have. Its a separate service where you use google music manager to upload up to 25,000 songs for free, to a separate area, and then you can use the google music app or website to stream that music on any device with an internet connection.
Hope you got everything working!

Hmmmm am I finally an XDA veteran now since someone called me a **** because I asked them to read something.
There was no offense intended. I was just trying to help. I only mentioned network HDDs to make the point that there's little need to store media on your phone (unless you can't get a signal of course)
XDA is generally not very forgiving if you don't take the time to READ. Even less forgiving if you are provided an answer and reply without reading it. Go through just about any question forum on here and half answers to half the topics are "do a search" or "read." If you are sensitive about it XDA may not be the place for you. We all watched the video when we signed up. We are all just NOOBs right?
Anyway I hope you've got it figured out.

Lol. I'm a vet and was called a **** just a few days back for suggesting someone read and learn something.
Welcome to the club. Lol

Google music is the best way to do this IMO. Paired with an all access subscription, it's the best way to combine your music that you own with a huge streaming library.
However, there is an app that will play music stored on Google Drive or Dropbox. It's called Beat, and available in the play store.
