how can one store gps location of a perticular person?
if i am visiting a freind's place in neighbouring city and would like to store his gps co-ordinates in my contact list, how can i do that? this will help me if i am visiting same place next time. this would be helpful in many countries where location can not be found from zip / post code.
thanks
You could save the location in your favorites in google maps, but i don't know of a way to directly attach it to a contact.
gpstoday shows the actual street address for your location, and many among other options, allows you to attach the address to a contact or create a new contact with the current address.
"Single tap to create a new contact with your current location as the address, or save the current location as an existing contact's address. Imagine not having to type the full street address on the PPC keyboard!"

The only problem i see with that is this.....

I think it converts it to an address for storage.... and it sounds like there is no address.

I've never heard of a standard for it, but you could always simply store it as a note attached to the contact in the format of lat,lon
You can then just typically paste that into things, like Google Maps.
You can also record the spot and later put it into Google Earth or something, then save and load that KML file on the Tilt. If you 'launch' the KML file, all the points in it will show up in the Google Maps application.

Thanks for the replies...
currently i store lat/lon in "Office loc" field of address book of a contact and have to copy paste in google maps if i need to get location on maps.
i guess there is also not any easy way to get lat/lon in "google maps" of my current location / a point on the map. if i dont want to start any other app and need to get gps location from google maps then i need to follow steps below
1. on the map tap on desired location and select "Mark start point"
2. click on "Search" option and search for some poi
3. "Tap for options"
4. "Directions to here"
5. copy gps coords from the "Starting point" field.
is there any easier way than this?
thanks once again.

now with latest version of GoogleMaps for Mobile i cant get the gps cords at all. do let me know if its possible
thanks
have you considered using trackme (found on xda).
Its great as it logs you journey which can be uploaded to google maps, google earth etc, its useful as you can take a foto and upload it along with your track. You can also view map/track on the app itself.
Check it out.
Also consider noni-plot gps, although no where near as useful as the above.
Happy playing

lol, yh i did Nir, i didnt want to, but it paid for my blackstone but i do miss it...... i keep telling my wife im going to flash her polaris, but she wont let me near it haha......
As for the guide, yes ive started writing GPS settings guide, as so many peeps ask about it. I think i may have chosen one of the hardest bloody subjects though as it really does depend on so many variables and that there is no right or wrongs!!! So unfortunately that doesnt make a very usefull guide, but i was going to list freeware/useful apps to it, so i guess it might not be that useless after all

I can't believe no one has answered this yet. You will need to install .net 3.5 framework and Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3. That will allow you to do that and more.
Here is a link to his website which also has the .net framework link.
Hope this helps.

Sorry about the delay in response. I am posting here to help any others who might need it. I was wrong and thinking you needed something else so here is the correct way to do it. Although Advanced Config is a great program still.
Start menu / Settings / Sounds & Notifications / Notifications Tab at bottom / Click on event and scroll to Messaging: New text message / Uncheck Display message on screen.
Soft reset just in case and you are good to go.
Hi!
I've just published my first app on the market - it's called Epistle.
It's a very simple text editor that can sync your notes with Dropbox; I will add folder support and note search soon.
Since all I've got is an old HTC G2 I'd appreciate if someone could help me test it (especially the synchronization mechanism).
You can find the app here: kooklab.com
Thanks.
Looks nice. Love the interface. However I am getting an FC whenever i hit "Sync". Account linked, I turned off all the automatic syncs, have reinstalled. I don't see any activity in my dropbox. Have attached logcat.
The only thing I would change is the note title field. I appreciate how other notepads use a bit of the first note line as the title.
You need to make a donate version, btw. I have been jonesing for a PlainText-alike and would happily pay for one!
Hi!

There is a stupid bug that prevents the app to perform the very first synchronization.
I'll push an update soon.

Hi! I like your app, but there is one thing I don't like. You should be able to give an option name to the folder it creates in dropbox. I'd rather have a folder named "Notes" than "Epistle", no offense to your namechoice.
This app is awesome!
I've now a Todo-list on my desktop and phone, synced!
Good work. I really like the idea.
Some comments:
1. I agree regarding the aforementioned opinion on the titling of notes. If no personal title is entered, the note should display the first line of the note in the overview list.
2. When you create a new note, the title is highlited and can be entered. However, as soon as the orientation of the phone changes (e.g. to landscape) the cursor is in the beginning of the text field and the title of the note cannot be changed. The same goes for the use of a hardware keyboard. When I flip my Desire Z open to use the hardware keyboard the same thing happens.
3. Deleting notes: The app should refresh by taking the latest changes into account. If I remove the note on the phone it should disappear from Dropbox. If I delete a file from dropbox, it should delete the note in the app.
4. Discarding notes. It should be possible to get back to the list view without saving a note. It's a good idea to have the note saved automatically when you press back. But you might provide a "discard note" option when you press "menu" while editing a note.
Regards,
Becksman

I'll add the option to change the sync folder in some future release.

In landscape you should still be able to hide the virtual keyboard (with the back button) and double tap on the title to edit it.

If you delete a file from the phone everything works as expected; the other way around at the moment cannot be implemented - with the current API there is no way to tell if a file has been deleted from dropbox.

This is also coming in the future.
The new release fixed the sync right up. Thanks!
I am getting ready to import ~500 notes from simplenote. We'll see how it goes.

You're right. I tried that earlier and somehow it didn't work. I'd still prefer the cursor not to jump out of the title if I switch the orientation or open the hardware keyboard.

For me it's not working either way round. I "removed" 2 notes in the App and in my Dropbox they still appear. When I start the App they however don't show up anymore. I tried hitting "Sync", which resulted in a FC. However I just tried it again - created a new note, synced it and removed it again. This time it somehow worked.

I'll soon push another update on the market that should resolve most of the sync problems.
Would sorting by modification time or search be possible? The UI is perfection, but with many, many notes i get confused while navigating
Please ignore gregory's comment on the market. Unix line endings ftw.
Hey, i downloaded this yesterday! I'll provide any help needed!
By the way, love the latin root for the name.
It looks really pretty. The only reason I'm not going to give it a try is that Simplenote sync is currently a requirement for me.
But your attention to aesthetics pleases me
Thanks, thanks a lot for this app. Working great on my HERO, and finally I can sync my notes between my phone and my Linux desktop!
I don't mind the folder name or even the reverse sync issue, but I've got a few ideas on improving this. For example, you should stick to a notes format (like TiddyWiki) and give us ability to remark (bold) text, create check-able lists of items inside a note.... with transparent formatting (for example, *text* should bold, []item1 []item2 should create a check-able list, !subtitle for that exactly that and so on...). I think it should not be very difficult to implement and it could lead to, perhaps, a web app complement.
This app has tons of potential uses and improves. Thanks again.
Ever since I got my Samsung Captivate I've been using its built in memo pad for months. The fact that I couldn't export my notes was kind of a bummer. Now with your simple app, taking notes has never been simpler.
I'll try to report bugs when I see them. Thanks.
Been looking for something like this for ages, thank you.
Yesterday it worked fine, but today I'm getting FCs every time I open it on my Hero.
I'm about to test this in the Nook Color.. Thought the title "Drop-Notes" might be best appropriate for its key function :- )
All the minimal features are AWESOME thus far!
I've been using AK Notepad for the past few months.
I DON'T LIKE that it requires their webapp at catch.com to sync.
I REALLY LIKE that yours is very simple.
The only feature that I liked in AK Notepad, that I would like for you to implement would be #hashtags. This would make categorizing notes much simpler on both ends of the sync.
Along with the hashtags, a simple filtering system would be great!
And perhaps a customizable widget, that displays ONLY a set hashtag?!
Great job!
I'll be the first to donate/buy when you choose that route.
I can't link my dropbox account. the link button does nothing for me. It lets me enter my email and password, but thats it.

I deleted the linkify stuff with root explorer and now youtube runs as an app and phone number links bring up the dialer. If you don't want to pay for RE, try Estrong File Manager, but it's root access is a bit tricky to figure out...you need to go into the settings to enable each time, I found.

I can't help you fix the issue. But as for your last question... HTC was forced to remove it due to Apple patent litigation.

I am wondering the same thing. There are obviously more threads related to HTClinkifydispatcher, and the build.prop changes that are supposed to return functionality that HTC removed to comply with Apple patent requirements. However, this is what I have found. I am able to click links, Youtube links, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses in emails, texts, etc. from my bone stock Evo LTE. However, these links will only launch in the default application selected in the HTC App Association Settings menu. After rooting and making changes to build.prop (using Build Prop Editor eliminates issues with multiple entries of the same property), I am able to get selection option menus for certain linkable items. For example, Youtube links give options for browsers, or Youtube app. Email addresses, let me choose to send email using any of the email accounts I have set-up. HTML links let me choose between stock browser or Chrome. And addreses let me select to open in browsers or Google Maps. However, clicking on a phone number simply launches the phone dialer (just like stock), and does not give me the option to send a text message. Also, email addresses and phone numbers do not give an option to add a contact.
I have discovered that options are only provided if there are options that can be selected in the app associations menu. For example, the options I have in the app associations menu match exactly with the options I am presented when clicking linkable data as per above. However, if the app associations menu does not have options (in my menu the only association I can make to phone numbers is to the phone dialer) then the default (only) option will be launched when that data is selected. Does anyone else have send SMS or MMS text message as an option for phone numbers in the app association menu, or when clicking phone numbers in text after making the build.prop changes?
I think these workarounds are close, but IMHO we still do not have the true functionality that was removed due to the apple patent.

Menu, Settings, Privacy, Clear Private Data, then make sure the "Browsing & download history," "cache," and anything else you want remove is checked. Then Clear data.
And I kinda want the last five minutes of my life back, because I had to download and install the app to see if there was anything tricky to do. And there wasn't. That was ridiculously easy and trivial.
