Forces closes on my tab....VEGAn 5.1
Sent from my Viewsonic 10" GTab...
We can always use something lik sharegps and use our bluetooth capability to tether our gps.
But the more options the better if it works on our tablet.
force close here as well on latest tnt-lite. i was hoping this would work so i wouldn't need to connect wifi tether and bluetooth
Yea Bluetooth is working great but would be super awesome to only use 1 app to tether GPS. TetherGPS is not able to connect properly my gtab says "not receiving location"
Hope this can get resolved soon

Ive been using a app called "bluegps" found it from a thread here in the forums, works great with my avlabs gps. I use autopilot for my maps, but once you have tyhe gps tethered, it does not really matter what type of map u use. Just make sure you have "mock locations" enabled in bluegps and all works well.

How did you get CoPilot??
I'm trying to buy from the Market, but don't see it there. Can't tweak Market enough to be able to purchase...
Personally i see it, ive also heard of others on these forums who cant see things in the market can try to side load it, either buy it from a store or buy it from the market using an android phone and then side load it that way. Seems different market fixs and different roms seem to see different things on the market, try market enabler, saw a post for it here on the forums recently. I tried it and found it worked well. Also try the different market fixs.

No it doesn't work, and there is no GPS option either. That option is not yet available to work on the device yet.
Awesome. Thanks....
Nice. Google navigator 4 allows you to use street view with gps also..
Yes, it does. This is FREE though and Navigator 4 costs $$$$$.
How is this better than the standard google maps application?
because you can view 360 degree street images. which is all explained in the first post.
I'll tell you right now. This app has already saved my butt. The 360 view totally helped me find what I was looking for. Oddly enough, it was a strangely inconspicuous bowling alley.
Works good on Treo 750.
haha this app is so cool..
ive just been sitting here traveling the country..
thanks for this.. good find.. works perfectly
Google Maps 2.2.0.20 RELEASED
doesnt have street view but the "transit" tab finally works with subway train routing, least in NYC! Goodbye HopStop.com
Neat, but not as user friendly to me. Lack of My Location and GPS definitely hurts. I'll wait for a a windows mobile version.
Does this not work with WiFi? i never use my phone network for internet. 95% of places i go have a wifi connection i can get.
its saying... "this application requires a data connection. please contact your carrier, or visit www.google.com/gmm/configure.html on your computer for more info"
any ideas?
If you want GPS, get the TOM TOM 7

http://home.leakdroid.com/2009/10/06/fresh-leak-moto-phone-portal-for-android-coming-w-sholestaodroid/
Pretty cool. Works with my G1 and Cyanogen 4.1.99. Try it out.
http://rapidshare.com/files/305341350/PersonalPortal.apk
Recently some of the system dumps from the upcoming Motorola Sholes/Tao/Droid hit the Developer community, and they have been trying to piece the puzzle together of what the Motorola Sholes/Tao/Droid is all about. We got our hands on a new app which looks like it will be front and center when the device finally hits the shelves, Motorola Phone Portal.
Those that remember using the Motorola Phone Tools app to hack their Motorola’s back in the day (I’m getting all “Ahmad – Back in the Day” about my v600, v810, and RAZR) will instantly recognize this little gem, but it’s been updated for Android and provides some pretty cool functionality. Basically, Motorola Phone Tools (MPP) serves as an all-in-one phone manager that allows users to easily view, edit, create, delete, and play their contacts, ringtones, photos, wallpaper, and media. The key difference now is, the app is web-based and you log into your phone from directly from your browser! No installing “modems” and drivers on your Windows machine (painful), just fire up the app and press the “Connect with Wi-Fi button. When you press the button, the app prompts you to either turn on Wi-Fi, or connect over USB. For this experiment, I chose Wi-Fi.
MPP lets you add/edit/delete/browse your contacts, photos, bookmarks, browser history, and media in an easy-to-use interface. Playing media directly from the device in the browser worked very well, and the picture viewer/slideshow feature is pretty damn cool. So with MPP you’ll be able to play/show-off your media anywhere from any browser. If Moto adds a Social/Sharing aspect to this, they will have a winner on their hands.
So there you have it kids, a little taste of what’s to come with the Sholes/Tao/Droid. The original Moto Phone Tools was a pretty handy app (when it worked), and the new MPP looks to be just as functional, if not more so. I am sure it will help a lot of users manage their contacts/media/content when it gets released, and the ability to do slideshows and play media from your device directly from your browser is pretty slick. I hope Moto adds more features and functionality to it as time goes on, but this seems like a sign of good things to come. Grab the .apk file below and play away!

Doesn't work on my hero
It asks to activate wi-fi even if it is already active. Tried to start-stop wifi before and after i opened the application. any guess?
Thank you!!
Ok, I figured how to make it working, the phone must be connected to a network to be used, but I though it creates an ad-hoc wi-fi connection to work with.
BTW great app!
This thing is great. I wonder why more people aren't interested in this....
Sounds cool, I'm going to test this out later
pretty slick...
Nice that you can mange contacts and view the contents of your sdcard etc. Similar to AFile and others but a bit more "moto". Could be neat! I imagine that the majority of users would never set up a secure login though, could be fun to sit in a crowded bar and scan for active devices running this on port 8080. Imagine the havoc that could wreak!

This is such a useful app!
Cool! Thanks for the download/headsup!
does this connect via USB or only wifi?
What does this do exactly? I have to connect to my wifi network and make sure the computer is connected and then what?
Is there a specific process to join the phone and the comp together?
I tried using a remote desktop client but didn't figure out how to get it working, is this the same?

For some reason I can't get it to work right on the G-Tablet, it does however work beautifully with my phone. Anyone else try doing it yet? You have to access g-mail via your web browser.

Does this differ much from printershare?
IMHO it is completely different. I was able to get this working on my gtab running VEGAn in about 5 minutes, and it allows me to print to any printer that is connected to any computer that i have access to, regardless of how that printer is connected to that computer.
Oh yeah...it is free too

Printershare also connect to any printer attached to my computer as well, the free part is interesting since printershare is free for a certain amount of pages and all. guess ill give it a shot. thanks for the info.
I just used Google Cloud Print on my Samsung Captivate and hope to check it out on my new GTab tonight! Thanks for the info! I had not yet heard about it. It will be nice when Google updates some of their Apps (such as the Gmail App and the stock browser) to support Cloud Print!
good cloud print is awesome much better than paying for printer share after all the free pages it gives you to print which isnt much, hope more sites/pages will be supported thanks for the advice.
So have you guys got it to work from your G-tab ok? I always have problems in the stock browser with G-mail.

yes, cloud print beta
I installed it, went thru the login process, sent a test page from the app. ... and... Nothing.
EDIT: I rebooted my GTab, still no go. But I can't get my Hero to print either. Weird.
EDIT #2: I went to manage my printers and see a job under the "Active Print Jobs", but nothing in the Completed area and nothing in my tray.

LOL! None taken.
Yes. Everything is on, registered, etc. I think the issue lies within the PC. It's 64bit (I hate x64) and it appears I can't load the Microsoft XML paper specification pack that is required (LINK, under "Why is my document not printing?").

tested last night and it printed the test page fine for me from the gtab, also than printed a pic and it came out nice.
Crappy. I'll try sending something to my home printer. I think there's an issue with my work PC being x64.
I wonder if it works with Cute PDF printer?
It works now. I rebooted my work PC, came back from lunch and had a tray full of stuff. It also works with Cute PDF printer!
What is the best app for video chatting form my gtab running TnT lite lastest. My wife uses Win-win on her laptop. Are there any that are stand alone no need for an internet connection just a home network.
Not exactly answering your question I'm afraid, but Yahoo messenger works for me for video chat between my wife's laptop and my G tab (or is that the other way around?)!
Could you please give your version of Yahoo Messenger + Video plugin
My version force close.
Thanks.
Under "About Messenger", it says version 1.3.1.4583
I don't know how to find info about the video plugin?
Could you attach apk for both please?
I am not able to find Yahoo messenger in the market. I did find a Y! Suites app an installed it it had a link for messenger when I clicked on it I was prompted to login so I did. I was then shown a offer to install yahoo messenger for Android, I click on it and get a,message that the protocol is not supported.
That is Odd. I was able to install Messenger 2 weeks ago on my GTab and now the market is showing the same results as you. No Messenger available to download.
I did find that it can be searched for from the PC web page, but mine shows installed already. Can't verify if it still be sent to GTAb or not. Might want to try that route.
Glad, I am not the only one having the app not found issue. Thought I was having problems with the market. I have had problems finding other apps that have been mentioned in the GTablet forum.
Anybody have a solution or a better suggestion as to which app to use that will allow me and my wife and kids video chat. Would really like to find an app that would allow this while not necessarily connected to the internet but still connected to a wifi home network.
As far as I know, there is software that allows video conferencing, but I highly doubt that they have been ported to google apps. I know most of those out there are meant for corporate use.
but there is a simple solution to video over your home wifi. move your location so you are in close proximity to your wife and talk to her....lol.
All joking aside I wish I could help you, but until someone creates an app that allows video over private wifi, your kinda stuck.
But I can confirm that yahoo video does work.
I thought thier is a new Skype release just out.

It's possible to run my ReelPortal app within your own network, because the server software is also available for free. However, there's a catch, when you first start the ReelPortal app, it needs internet access to retrieve data to start up. After that, you can unplug the internet, and it would work fine. Another catch is P2P mode would not work without internet access, because P2P actually relies on an Adobe server. But within your own network, Client-Server mode would be fine, because you'd be using your own server.
ReelPortal is designed to run indefinitely, so unless you exit the app, you don't need to reconnect the internet. When set up properly, it can serve as a video intercom within your home/office.
A brief description of ReelPortal: http://reelportal.blogspot.com/p/read-me.html
If you're interested, here's a long thread on using it with the gTab:

I have Skype, but it currently doesn't support video, only audio.
Just investigating which one are you using for your Android phone.
I have tested Sygic which is nice but FC is high and Motonav which has good maps but UI is really bad...
So if you could help me to decide and tell me what is available for our andoid hd2 would be nice.
tnx
I use the Google Navigation, works quite good.
Only downside is that it doesn't show the speed.
I've also used Sygic Aura, but I didn't like it.

I use also Google Navigation, and it is very simple and usefull.
I use Navigon at the moment, quite good but doesnt always take you the way you want to go, but all sat nav's suffer this. The trouble of knowing local roads I guesss
Im using sygic without any issue,but make sure you are using v.8.24 !
Hope it helps ;-)

If you plan your route at home, it will cache the maps needed,
so this way it works offline.
But I don't know for sure, and if you change your route, you will need a data connection.
While I was googling this, I found mapdroyd.com
seems to be Google Maps, the offline version (haven't tried myself)
I've tried most of them, but found iGo MyWay to be the best by far.

Ah, I couldn't find it on the Market, and I was reading and thought it might be affiliated with HTC Sense or something.
Google maps will come with an offline version soon. http://www.androidworld.nl/84790/google-maps-navigatie-binnenkort-met-offline-kaarten/ (dutch link) This will save a lot in data traffic. I hope they add speed and speedcams to it as well.
The most usefull part of google maps for me is the very acurate traffic information, by far the best I've seen.
i use Aura sygic, it's the best GPS i've try on Android 2.3.3, can use it offline, just download maps before.
I have only used google navigator. I was most impressed by its ability to track my location and announce voice prompts when the screen is off, which saved a lot of the battery and the necessity to have a dash/windshield mount.
i use Copilot live. but i missed my iGo and tomtom on winmo
Try nDrive, it's ok, but I preffer Sygic
