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

should i use ANTIvirus and ANTI malware?

should i use ANTIvirus and ANTI malware?
on my PC i have kaspersky and Malware bytes
should i have something similar on my android phone?

This should not be necessary as long as you don't use any files from unknown sources. For example only use the market to install applications, only copy files from your pc to your phone (they will be scanned on your pc), and as usual be careful for attachments in your mailbox. Check where they come from and if you receive "sexy girls.bat" from anyone (even a friend) don't open it...

You can always connect phone in mass storage mode and run kaspersky on the two memory cards .

cheers
both good bits of advice
- stuff from good sources a great idea ---sexy girls.bat
-also the scan with kaspersky was a great idea
What about antibanner. since my new update every frickin flash banner is annoying me. I'm sure they weren't there before
Is there a banner blocker for android?

I'm resurrecting this thread since I read the article on here about dodgy virus market apps
I couldn't find it again to post it.
But do I need a security program on my phone
if so whats good or are there any free ones?
cheers

i use 'MyLookout' its a free app (also a paid version) and everytime something new is put onto the phone, MyLookout will automatically scan it for malware, its a really good app.
also another advantage of this app, is you can do backups to the cloud.
And another thing. If your device was to go missing, you can simply log on to the website MyLookout.com from your PC or another Phone, there you can switch on GPS, track the Phone down, perform a full wipe, lock the device, Sound an alarm on the phone which cannot be turned off.
and the best feature, is you can select an option so the app will not uninstall, so the thief who took your phone, cannot uninstall the app. Meaning you can always keep tracking it down
you can do all this from any PC / Mobile

Dr Web antivirus light is nice too

No just don't install sketchy apps.
Then again I don't use AV on my PC's either...it has proven useless in the past as it doesn't keep up with the attackers quickly enough. These days I go with a 'perimeter defense', keep the hostile code from running on the machine in the first place rather than running every damn thing and counting on some program to be current enough to save me.

Kaspersky Mobile Security is the best
Though i'm not using it right now.

I use lookout and find it excellent, though as others rightly say your phone is not nearly as vulnerable as your pc and by following common sense behaviour you should be totally fine. Give lookout a try as it includes lost phone detection and wiping too.

Why should I care about malware when I flash the phone every two weeks!!
(sometimes less time)

I don't, because I want to maintain maximum performance and battery life. Plus I'm not sure how effective any of the products are.
I must say though, I am a lot more careful about reading permissions and installing untested apps these days, after reading about the droid-dream malware etc.
nipip: lol true, same here

What about NetQin
Galaxy S XWJVB

And where to get kaspersky from? its not in the market
Galaxy S XWJVB

I use Lookout and have been very happy with it. Sure it may be a placebo at this moment. But as smartphones become the net access tool of choice for more people, malware will get worse as time goes by.
Plus I feel those people who say they can avoid trouble on their phones and even PCs by just not downloading "dodgy" code are massively underestimating the asshats out there and the ways that harmful code can be hidden. If you open a PDF or even a website, you ARE vulnerable.

Concerning to performance issue, I do not think it's a good idea to use an antivirus app

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).

Used the excellent method posted on XDA Forums. Called Microsoft support for activation code and they happily gave it to me.

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?

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

HUGE issue with Eclispe.

Ok, I spend almost 100% of my day yesterday trying to get this sorted out and I'm at the point of giving up, every different problem I went through at least 2 pages of googling and tried everything I could imagine and it's been futile up to this point. I would hate to put it off but the problem has been so bad I might have too. I'll go into as much detail as possible and any help would be VERY, VERY appreciated.
Ok, first off, I had the JDK, SDK, and Eclipse properly set up. The emulator was too slow and everything crashed so I decided to download VirtualBox by Oracle, and hook it up that way via ADB and it was a complete success, I was happy and ready to spend hours learning how to code.
Then one day, as out of the blue as possible, Virtual box popped some kind of error on me, or something along the lines of that, I can't remember unfortunately. But now after trying to re install it and deleting ".virtualbox" in my users folder, it now just freezes up upon starting up the software and I haven't been able to do a thing about it. It looks like on the surface I am able to still use Eclipse, I wouldn't think otherwise because they weren't supposed to be reliant on each other.I tried connecting my android devices to them but to no avail, they detected the devices but using adb connect "Device Name" it said unable to establish a connection or something along those lines, either way no information and my googling has came up NOTHING that didn't involve their devices not being seen either so their troubleshooting was to no avail too unfortunately. I said screw it and tried hooking up a AVD device. Every blank was filled in and I had it installed but "OK" was grayed out no matter what I picked and SURPRISE, it gave me no reason.
I re installed Eclipse (a.k.a deleting the whole folder and dragging a fresh one in). I received problems like "Failed to initialize Monitor Thread: Unable to establish loopback connection" When I attempt to add the URL and I used https:// and http:// But literately just now as I'm typing this and tried it, It seemed to work but these errors still get in the way:

I reinstalled the JDK, SDK
I have firewall and antivirus disabled when attempted
I disabled Teredo Tunneling Psuedo-Interface
I have a feeling VirturalBox F'd up a connection somewhere with it but I can't seem to find the snag.
Even in the preferences, It doesn't give me a lot to work with.

Ok so I read over the log and it mentioned something in the .android directory, I removed it and reinstalled eclipse and that removed THOSE errors but these ones now pop-up

[Q] Screen busted, need to recover baby pictures

Someone please help. Phone screen is busted and i need to recover pictures from the phone. It wasn't backed up and adb is not enable, neither is bootlader. Am i screwed?

Are you using twrp? Does adb work for you in twrp? If so you can just use adb pull /location/of/DCIM and pull them.

If your phone isn't secure it should show up on PC, at least I think so. Can you tell if its powering on?

Its powering on. No custom recover. Swipe pattern for lock

If its powering on you should be able to plug it into your computer and pull the pics from the dcim folder. Optionally, if it turns on, fastboot install twrp from bootloader, then use adb to pull the dcim folder as suggested by R4INS. If it turns on you're definitely NOT screwed

So i can use fastboot even though i didnt enable usb debugging? And doesn't the computer not lwt you connect unless u add it as a trusted device on the phone. I would have to enter the swipe pattern, which i cannot currently do

U not screwed friend.
First - did u setup back up of picture to google server? If yes , u can access them from website.
Second - you can buy OTG cable and connect your PC mouse and you will have access to your phone

I cannot see anything on the phone. The digitizer is busted as well.. its COMPLETELY black lol. Secondly, i didn't have goggle backup my photos, (because it was adding my pictures to my Google+ and wouldn't let me change it to private) so i turned off sync fir my pictures.

Fyi, all auto backup photos to g+ are always private until you otherwise choose to share them

odd should have been private by default. but thats in the past now. outside of getting a replacement screen or trying the mouse solution and trying some guess work on doing the swipe pattern, not sure what else that can be done. Sorry to hear about your situation

Screen replacements are 250 and have to ordered. Sprint won't even torch the phone. The misses is poised because we just had a newborn and ask the photos were in the phone . Called phone drs and they said it will be about a week for a screen because no one keeps it in stock. Lol damn... screwed.

Is there a program that i can use that will cast the phones screen over to the computer that way i can controll it from there? If i find a app on the market place, i can just sign in on line to my account and send the download to the phone from the play store. Any ideas?

Sounds like a good idea, but...... how would you run the app on your phone? I know you have to open airdroid on your phone to run it on your computer.
