Yeah it is amazing but anyone who signs up has to wait for Beta 2 which they have not announced. I wish they would have designed the touch screen version buttons a bit bigger to assume you are using your fingers and not a stylus. But it is by far the best browser, nothing else comes close.

Seconded... not to mention that Skyfire is garbage since it won't connect to the server more frequently that 50/50.

and the point of thread is?? half of us here can't even get skywire and we all know from reviews that it is supposed to be a great browser.
thanks anyways for the redundant post.

I have been using it everyday for the past month, I have only lost connection once so far.
The point was referring people to go sign up for the beta, I don't see how that is worthless and people who don't know about Skyfire are never going to find it in a search.

I thank you for cluing me in to skyfire, had never heard about it till now. Will definitely be trying it out.
I would suggest ignoring the thread nazis. Seems they are eager to up their post count by pointing out redundant threads, but when real help is requested, they are nowhere to be found.
I still don't understand why threadspace on this forum is at such a premium that every time someone wants to discuss something they are clamped down.

It works really well on the Tilt over 3G, and watching videos works really well, a lot better than I expected.

Then you must not know how to read. Skyfire has been discussed here in great detail for the last several months.

You sir, are an idiot. What have you done to help anyone? All of your posts are either requests for help on issues with known solutions, or other meaningless posts.

Thread space (notice I didn't make the same grammatical error as you) is not at a premium here. However, when someone does not search before creating a new thread, they contribute to making the search function less "functional".
Take Skyfire as an example. You said you had never heard of it before this thread, so you don't see this as a redundant thread. But... if the OP had done a search for "Skyfire" before creating this thread, he would have found the others, been able to post in them, and then it would have gotten moved up near the top of the forum since it had a new post in it!
I'll admit that some of my posts are nonsensical; but I have helped enough people on this site to entitle myself to the occasional raspberry post.

Skyfire does not rock. I can't even watch videos on youtube. The advertisement showed a video of a basketball court. The vid played perfect. I have yet to match that on my phone. Youtube vids play with the lipsync effect. I barely use it. Anyway many threads made about this topic.

Be patiant, it was the same way for me at first, and now the videos play flawlessly for me. Also videos play better using WiFi.

@ notatriofan
LOL, you make me lauff.
Not knowing about something, I wouldn't have known to search for it. And since, obviously by my join date, I've only been here days, not months, I would not have seen a buried thread about it.
And, if you are such an expert on my posts, you would have read exactly where I have helped someone, even after only being here 2 days, and without berating them for asking.
Gotta love this place. hehe
Thanks again for the skyfire heads-up!

Has it been discussed several times over the last couple of days? He specifically said he's only been for a few days. Ease up on the espressos there, I seriously don't think I've ever seen a brand new user get ridiculed for thanking someone for helping them. Ouch.

Navigation in US now available!! AndNav2 for USA!

AndNav2
There is a new version of AndNav available for Android. Here's a video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOfKpjEpRa8

Looks good but from what I can tell, maps aren't going to be the greatest.

At least there will be a decent alternative to using the google maps which require an internet connection. Sometimes I just want to use the GPS without the additional expense.

Just tested on 6.0r1 rom, seems to be working great: http://www.andnav.org/index.php/en/community-forum?task=viewtopic&id=292&p=5
Make sure you donate some money to these guys...they've done a lot of work and delivered something great to the community!

Awesome news ! Been waiting for this myself.

so whens the server gonna be up for free navigation?

i just went to the site and they havent release it for US yet.

It's kind of on the down low right now while they make sure all the kinks are worked out of the new server. I've been playing with is since yesterday and it's looking pretty sweet.
No, I'm not going to post a link. If you're really interested you should be able to find it on their site and I don't want to encourage the overloading of their new server. I'm sure once they make it a bit more public the news will be all over.

It's up and running. Tested today on my way to work.

Where are you suppose to put the Tilepack? I searched and unzipped it into mapnik folder, this took around 1:20min I was wondering if that is normal? Also after doing so I have had no luck with the program it runs smoothly but I cannot get a route loaded no matter what... please help the newb

1. Yes moving the map tiles takes a long time depending on how detailed they are.
2. Ask this question in the AndNav forum where the development is happening

I've been using it a bit since yesterday as well. It works, but there is a lot of communication between the G1 and their servers to make things work.
Look in the downloads area for Trek buddy it creates a lot of the map packs. Tiles.
The site is kinda scattered so I would look around in the forum and yes you do have to be a member to see links.

i don't know if i'm stupid or what, but i still can't find a way to download it lol

Andnav. Sorry about the confusion

Where is the official facebook app?!

wasnt it supposed to drop a few weeks ago? anyone got the dirt on this?
I grow more frustrated with bloo and babbler everyday. Need a real solution!

You and me both

just use the mobile facebook page, it's better than any app I've ever come across anyway.
There's actually two versions:
x.facebook.com - better version, possibly the iPhone version. My Magic currently defaults to this no matter which url I enter.
m.facebook.com - slightly inferior, suited to WM & Symbian

Those are both pretty good, but can't seem to make status comments on the iphone version.
m.facebook.com is better but i just get redirected to iphone version.

You can indeed set a status on the iPhone version, you simply press "status" which appears in the blue bar at the top left

Yes, but try comenting on someones status.. or replying to someone that commented on your status

Oh sorry, misread...I thought you said you can't add a status of your own.
Yeah I can't seem to find how to comment either actually but you can go to the m.facebook site by clicking "Mobile site" at the bottom of the page. That stops the default to x.facebook that you get by typing them in the address bar

Ah nice, it is working. Last time I tried it just kept redirecting me. Hmm.. perhaps I didn't press that link

its aggravating that because of google and facebook hating eachother they're taking it out on their customers! oh well hopefully they figure this out soon.

i was under the impression that google had sent an android engineer to facebook to help them sort it out quicker.

ahahha man that guy must feel like a total douche bag

The lack of an official facebook app was the only thing that shocked me. I just got my MT3G two days ago and that was pretty upsetting considering even the Blackberry FB app was pretty nice.

Maybe t-mobile will be releasing a facebook app for their mytouch.

That's not an official facebook app, just a facebook sync app htc made.

ahh, ok. I seen that and thought maybe there was going to be a facebook app that worked in conjunction with the phone or something.

Good question.
I'm sick of Babbler and Bloo.
Those are crap, in my opinion.
FACEBOOK FTW!!!

I was fortunate enough to get a beta copy of the official app... guys all I can say is wow, this is gonna blow the iphone app out the water!!!
It's on the same level if not above. It does everything your desktop version does , chat is enabled. It was a beta and was still a little bit slow but you can get a general idea of where they are going with the app
Dont know if I'm allowed to post screenshots??

What happened to slideme.org?

Does anyone know how long the slideme.org site is going to be down for, or whats happening exactly?

It's at http://mobentoo.com/

That doesn't explain why, just what, which is now very apparent, although it would have been nice to have a link from slideme.com to the new site so people like me weren't left wondering.
Nor did they even bother to email app coders before or since doing this, it's really very bad for them since they have a user base used to going to the old URL and suddenly there is nothing but a sign up that it's down till further notice.

[Q] im+ on hd2
