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

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).

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

[Q] ICS leak - unable to dial out with google voice

I've tried this on the .206 and .208 leaks, both of which won't use google voice to dial out. I've tripled checked, and google voice is set to "Use Google Voice to make all calls". I've tried uninstalling and re-installing (on both builds). Has anyone else experienced this? If so, has anyone found a fix?
Also - I've tried "Ask every time I make a call", this also fails to work (though I only tried this in .208).

Works for me (I'm on .206). I have it set to "Only use Google Voice for international calls" though, not sure if that makes a difference.

Unfortunately that did not work for me. I've now tried "use Google Voice to make all calls", "Only use Google voice for international calls" and "Ask every time I make a call" - none of these result in using Google Voice for a call (local, domestic, - I haven't tried ILD, as I don't want to incur a charge).
The only thing that appears to work is "Don't use google voice for any calls", though I am beginning to suspect this is due to a bug, not design.

OK, did a little more testing - and stumbled across something looks like only 7 digit dialing is affected. 10 digit dialing does indeed use google voice. Frankly, I'm not sure if this was the case in stock GB or not - with out a way to roll back, I can't test.

I thought gv only did international calls, at least within the USA.

Thank you! Google Voice worked great on my Galaxy S2 with GB and ICS, but I'm not able to place out going calls with my Galaxy S3. I tried your advice of using 10 digit dialing and it appears to be working!

Works for me on .206
I have used it on .206 a few times and it works, it just doesn't show the "calling with google voice" dialog. I checked my minutes usage and no international minutes show up, just night/weekend or anytime minutes. If it wasn't working, there would be international minutes on my bill/vzw usage app.

To avoid this you can just call up VZW Support and remove international dialing from your account. That way if it somehow doesn't use GV to dial internationally in the future, you'll just get the "you must enable international dialing blah blah" message, instead of crazy charges on your bill

READ!!
Code:
I do not know if this will work for everyone else.
But it works for me, so im sharing EXACTLY what I did.
Some things may or not be unneeded, but i dont want to leave
anything out.
Please post your results to we can determine if I
was just super lucky or it can actually get results.
1. Get a AT&T branded dumbphone, put your sim in.
2. Talk to AT&T ( live chat or talk ) and tell them you no longer have a smartphone , want to get rid of your smartphone data plan and want to dumb phone unlimited data plan. *important* make sure somewhere to include the IMEI of your dumbphone so they can manually put it in the system. Then let it sync for a few hours.
3. Now you will need to put your sim card into a smartphone that AT&T does not have the IMEI in their database. EX. I used a radio/sim unlocked droid 3. Now run it for a few hours and let everything sync again.
List of smartphones phones compatible -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446373
4. After everything shows up that you have the non smartphone data plan ( go myatt on att's website ), and under your number you should not see your phone because it will be confused..
5. Put your sim into a AT&T branded smartphone. I used a iPhone 4 16gb.
If everything went correct, it should not automatically bump you up to a 3gb/month tiered plan.. In fact at least for me data did not work at ALL and said I was not subscribed to a network.
6. Contact AT&T and tell them your data is not working, and because that your on a nonsmartphone data plan and non on a smartphone plan.
Hopefully they say this:
JUST BECAUSE THIS WORKED FOR ME DOES NOT MEAN IT WILL 100% WORK FOR YOU.. I TRIED MY BEST TO WRITE WHAT I DID. I DID THIS OVER A SPAN OF A MONTH, NOT A DAY SO REMEMBER!

There you go. That's the reason. there have been plenty of threads about the fact that you cant change your VZ account with a sim in a non recognized VZ device.

Beats me, perhaps you need to Call VZ on this, you may try the following on the N6, but if not seen as a VZ device it may not work:
http://www.droid-life.com/2015/03/1...e-and-data-now-works-on-nexus-6-with-verizon/
you should also be on 5.1 first before trying, as it isn't supported on the N6 without it, which could also generate the message.

just chatted and they will be sending me a new sim(current one was cut from gnex phone)
i shouldnt have any issues activating the sim right?
