Does GPS need a data connection? I would like to use the Streak in my car with Google Navigation, without tethering? Is this possible?

GPS doesn't, but Google nav does, i think.

Thanks, looks like I'll have to buy CoPilot USA and down load the actual maps.

I am using CoPilot - works nicely and no WiFi needed.

If you are going away from cell coverage, a stand alone GPS will be excellent. Just remember when buying software that one can also purchase GPS devices for under $100 these days (of course you would have another device in that case).
Google Maps Navigation will also cache your route, if you download it before you leave and look it all over. It'll even cache a few reroutes. This is nice when going from WiFi to WiFi, but not useful as a standalone GPS.
Thanks for the blurb about "CoPilot". I was using Google Nav, but took a detour in an area with no cell service. GPS was of no value. (compass is still there though)

Every time I start Copilot USA it asks for my google checkout number. And then it has to log into the internet to verify. Am I doing something wrong?
Just got the play movies app on my phone. It says it wont work because the phone is rooted.

Ye same here.. but who cares didn't need the app before don't need it now

Right. The idea is that it would be easy for somebody who knew what they were doing to use a rooted phone to discover a method to circumvent DRM. Somebody will figure it out anyway, of course.
Hi , I was messing about with the Google music app tonight and it seems to be letting me upload music and listen to it on my nexus 7.
I stay in the UK and I know it was meant to released soon but thought I would let you guys know it seems available now.
Apologies if this is old news.

What about the music recognition? Does it upload the songs or does it recognize them?

Where did you download the app from, the play store? I am using it with an account set up via a proxy. Wondering if I'll have to do anything once its official in the UK.

I think you only need the proxy to sign up - that's what I did.
Once you have done that you can login and upload and download from any IP.

Ah yes, thats what I did also and use it on my phone without any problem, works really well and looking forward to having it on the Nexus also.
So the setup still needs to be done via VPN?
But then you can use it as and when you please?
PS - If I signup, can I download Google Music onto another device (HOX) and link both devices? To share music etc
Thanks for info !

Of course you can, I've been using Google Music on both my N7 and phone, but I'm curious how we can transfer our musics and account to UK's server when its opened?

@Savalangh - wondering exactly the same thing, dont think I've even uploaded a 1000 songs yet, but would be a major pain having to sit and re-upload from scratch if we had to. Hopefully we just can continue using as is. :fingers-crossed:
I set up Google Music using a Proxy and have been using it for months.
It recently got released OFFICIALLY in the UK and haven't had any problems i.e. I haven't had to re-upload my music or anything else. I believe it's tied to your google account so regardless of where you're using it, it shouldn't make a difference once you're signed up!

We're sorry. The Google Play music player is currently only available in the United States.
Sorry for it not being more helpful, I went on play.Google.com , logged in on my laptop , went to /music and downloaded music manager , then it allowed me to start uploading my music which then appeared on my nexus 7 and allowed me no stream it. No proxy or vpn.

Well, Canada getting anything is quite groundbreaking! Thats what this is all about.
Theres no Radio on my google music... maybe I didnt get update?
Welcome to Canada!
I'm glad a post was made announcing Google Music's availability in Canada, perhaps a new thread dedicated to services actually available to Canadians should be started, for example Amazon app store is finally available to us Canadians (Free app of the Day):victory:
For those who don't care I understand, but many many services are delayed or blocked for us up here so having a resource or post letting us now about one finally getting loose up here is great!

LOL because Google doesnt like to offer Canada all the services... for US only..
Even google voice doesnt work in Canada.. you need to trick google into thinking your a US resident.. the number they give you is a US number also..

Did you get a App update (what is the version of Google Music you have?)?
MrDouf said:

This is how it happened. I accessed the Play Store, and went to Music. It was there that I found music for sale! I immediately bought the new pearl jam cd. I now believe that it was this purchase that brought about the changes to Google music on my phone.
I am running v5.2.1224L.847622
The only thing of note is that in my Google wallet settings, I have a visa for purchases. The address for it is in the U.S..

I just tried to access Google music and I got this message
"The Google Play music player is currently available in select territories"
I wonder if it has something to do with the fact the user who got it working has a Credit card with an American address

The visa is a Canadian card, I just changed the address to a company in the U.S. that I use for shipping purposes.

Grand Central, the company Google purchased and transformed into Google Voice, offered Canadian numbers.
Plus there are several talk/text applications that offer Canadian numbers like Fongo.
Don't know, but I'll take your word for it. Perhaps it's size - smaller player's get away with it, while bigger companies play by the rules? I'm sure if they could Google would go for it - it's in their interest to do so.

The improved notifications is already part of the MK7 update, right? But hey, "improvement to the lift-and-pause gesture that activates the clock"... Good good... great! Can't wait to test that out.
Update: it is the US version of the MK7 update that was rolled out earlier in Europe.

I thought that too, but the improved wake up gesture? Didn't noticed anything about that in the MK7 version I installed last week.
It's in the mk7 release. Check the motions section of the settings panel.

You mean the option to wake up with the last used screen? I wouldn't call that an "improvement to the lift-and-pause gesture that activates the clock" (quote Engadget).
What about an SDK??? I would love to see way more apps for this thing
Whats the difference between the mk7 US version amd the UK version. I flashed the mk7 UK version on mine and im from US.

I would like to have any market app that we have been sideloading be able to be pulled down and installed in the Gear directly like Google Music. I hate having to reload it and all others every time there is an update. Perhaps a default music player and video player would be awesome.

I wonder how this will come about. Will they have to release a new version of Gear Manager? I never updated to the 1.5 version so just wondering what to look for since I don't want to install the version again without the US firmware update. I know I can always turn to XDA to get the news too

Im still waiting for it too; Im in the Bay Area and my 14th day return expires close of business tomorrow.
I saw elsewhere we will get it on 11/29. Looking forward to it!
I was about to do the UK update since Sammy as usual drags their feet to support US customers. But given its supposed to arrive tomorrow I will just wait another day, can't hurt.
As for the Gear Manager, where do we update that? Is it part of the Samsung Hub app in the Samsung folder?

Gear Manager should update on the phone, and to the latest version. Swipe down from top of screen, click on Samsung Galaxy Gear, then click on the name of your device, then click Software Update, then click Update and agree to check for a new one. Latest version should end in MK7. This is what broke the Exchange email notifications for many, or all, of us in the USA. Hopefully they update the Gear software and this phone software, as I heard both must happen to get Exchange back and working.
Did anyone notice that the GM had a new date today and yestersay but it looks like the same version. Can someone verify? Still no updated US firmware
