Hello,
I got my Nexus One when it first came out (via HK) and I live in Australia. When I set it all up it basically made the guess I was in the UK (UK English for language etc.)
Now that the N1 is available officially on a carrier here (not to mention the Desire) does anyone now how I can go about updating the news sources for the News and Weather widget to include Australia?
All the Sport topics are UK Sport related, same for Top News etc.
Still waiting for Google Navigation to be enabled here too :-(
Cheers, Tim.
Hi Tim
One workaround is to install MoreLocale2 from the market. Its free. As to the reason why you see uk news is cos ur language is set to english uk. For some obsure reason, the news & weather app ties to your language settings. With that app, u can set it to english (your country). You should then see more meaningful news after restarting the news app
Sound advice above.
EN & AU

Great App! Worked great. Thanks.

Hello guys,
Can you recomend to me the best navigation program for i9000?
The coverage of the maps should have mandatory Romania(from where am I) and of course other neighbour countries.
For instance I checked Navigon and on their site is written they cover only 10% of Romania.
I saw that there is iGo my Way for Android but I am not able to downlod it for trying as Navigon for instance.
Thanks,

Well the only services that fully cover romania are Google Maps, Garmin and Nokia maps.
I like NDrive, is maybe not the best Navigation Programm but i would try it. Maybe the coverage is not so bad for Romania. You can download a trial version over the market.
try waze! its awesome
Copilot. Romanian map is quite good
Hi,
I'm using motonav with igo maps and is working pretty well.

copilot has the best interface. motonav/igo is much accurate though.
Ndrive plus the have a new build for Androids with new maps.
What about the Samsung Navigation app? I use Maps and CoPilot depending on my signal and love it.

Hi Mircea,
For our country you can use google maps as well. They are very detailed. For external countries personally i use Navigon and works decent or you can buy Igo for android, from my last experiences with igo, the Romanian map is well done.
Anybody knows good Nav with Thailand map?
using CoPilot
I use copilot, great nav app.

Great thread. Any recommendation for those in Sweden and would work well within Europe as well?

I second that!
What is wrong with th ebuilt in Google nav? I don't get it, why people want a different app...
- The maps are always going to be the most up to date available, since they are live.
- The maps along your route are all pre-cached so OTA data use is not an issue either
- The turn by turn directions work great
- You have street view photos at your destination to help you find the exact place, no other app does that

I have tested CoPilot, NDrive and Navigon, and in my opinion NDrive has the best/easiest interface so far, and its working very well in galaxy. No problem with Navigon or Copilot but in bouth the interface was crappy. I dont like them att all. When TomTom isnt available for android I use NDrive in my Galaxy with Skandinavia map. But everybody has it own taiste about the interface.

I agree that google nav is pretty winful, but it has far from universal coverage. To my knowledge it is US/UK only, and the UK one is in beta, and although definitely very usable, it still has some problems, hence why those in the EU might need a paid app.
TBH if more satnav programs had trial versions then I'd be happy to pay for an app having discovered that it is genuinely better, but it takes a few days at least to work out if your satnav feels good to you, and after that theres no refund *sigh*.
Just rushed to buy the device and wondering if I will be able to use it outside the USA. I know that Netflix is available in my country ( Honduras ) although they stream a different library , but I wonder if CC will check my IP connection or any other paramethers to stream its content from the cloud.

I am on the same.. Hope it works.
Cant install the chromecast app from playstore, i will need to slideload.

i wouldnt see why not as it is service based. So if things like play music, play movies, netflix, youtube are unavailable in aparticular area then it wont work for those services

In Canada I had to sideload the apk, but:
- The promo code worked just fine
- Netflix streams CDN content without complaint
- No problems with YouTube either
Anyone in UK tried it? I'm keen and able to get one from the UK via a friend but don't want to if it's not even going to work?

Already in that boat, my ChromeCast procured for me by a US friend on day 1 should be mid way between NY and London as we speak, so I'll update this thread further once it arrives and I get an opportunity to test it.
I've the APK installed already, although I'll just have to rely online for any APK updates, outside of Google Play
I received mine yesterday and I'm using it here in switzerland without problems. Of course Netflix and the other services not available in Switzerland don't work.
I'd like to buy one but I'm from Spain and don't know where to buy it :/
I am using my 2 Cromecasts in Italy, I just had to sideload the app.
I brought a couple home with me from florida to the Netherlands.
They work just fine

Looks like NetflixUS is not working outside US when you use a smartDNS service like overplay or UnblockUS because it uses only the google DNS and not the DNS of your router.
Working fine here in Honduras. Netflix is streaming latin american content. Will try to stream US version connecting to a ddwrt router set up to my us vpn connection and then report.

Can someone please share the chromecast app v1.1.2 for android?
People having issues with Netflix outside US please read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2378257
Apparently, Google hardcoded their own DNS servers into Chromecast, so you need a trick and capable router to circumvent this restriction.

Could you upload it to 4shered or dropbox?
sent from my UNLOCKED gt-s5360 using the XDA app
Using three in India, works pretty good
I have a house in Spain with 5 air conditioner, and there is an app in Europe that could control them remotely, but I cannot download it from Canada. Any idea where and how I can do it or, is there anybody who could upload the APK?
This is the link for the app in the Google playstore
It is called Melcoud and it is from Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Hi. I'm from Brazil and recently buy a L90 D410 and notice that we don't have the Smart Share app from LG in this model. Anyone knows a alternative app which uses wifi direct for stream videos, music or photos? (I don't have wifi router on my home lol ) sorry for my poor english

Maybe BubblePnp. Dont know if it works without router network, maybe you can connect to your smart tv directly by dnla to stream pics and vids.
