Google Navigator (Download maps Manually)

Hello I have google navigator from: http://pdafun.net/
It works by downloading the map data and storing it until you wish to delete it.
I was wondering if it was possible to download the map data manually before hand while I am using wifi because I do not have an unlimited data plan and don't want to download the data while I'm driving.
Thanks!

You can share your inet connection from pc with your PDA (using Win 7 and WM6.5, maby works on other systems). Therefore simply connect your pda using Win Mobile Device Center. Ones you are connected run Google Navigator and select the download area. Worked by me...
...Sorry for my English

Would anyone specify this a bit more accurately? I can't seem to find any options on X10 Mini, like specify map/place or area to download fully...
Or suggest a better GPS software.
I tried IGO 8.4 - lags like hell,
tried Navigon - does't seem to have any problem so far, just don't know it yet,
tried sygic - I waited ages to find a satellite... maybe 10 minutes? nonsense
Well Google navigation found signal the fastest way, that's wy I thinking about that...

Differences between Fuze and touch pro + unlock question

Hey I just got my Fuze from ATT and I just had a few questions about it.
What are the differences between the Fuze and the Touch Pro? I specifically remembered reading about a VGA front camera and a Youtube client in the GSM review. I was really looking forward to the youtube client but since it's nonexistent, how do you guys watch youtube videos and just videos in general online? I've tried and it does not work. the only thing that works is Cingular Video. And what about the radio? I thought it was going to be an FM radio, not XM radio.
I also want to unlock my FUZE so I can use it in Hong Kong (vacation). Is that the same as "flashing" or something completely different? If I unlock, can I change it back later on?
Thanks.

1. No front camera for video call as you know.
2. If you're on att ROM, "youtube" is still there; just create a shortcut in Windows\Start Menu\Programs OR you may want to flash some customized ROMs e.g RRE's ROM.
3. FM radio: install a FM radio cab file or flash a custom ROM.
4. Unlock: call att rep and ask for subsidy unlock code. Unlock means you can put any SIM card from any carrier into the phone and start making/receiving call w/o paying the int'l roaming charge.
Here is the good place to get more about your phone http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael
Have fun.

how do you create a shortcut to youtube?
For unlocking, ATT said they only let you do it after 90 days. I'm leaving this December so it's going to be too late by then. That's why I have to unlock it myself. So far it seems like the only way to get it unlocked is by paying someone but i'm just worried about getting ripped off or something.
The mskip thread on flashing says that it's possible to break your phone if you allow the screensaver to activate. Does he mean allowing the phone to turn off the screen? Does he mean to not allow the screen to turn off? Also, what's hardspl mean?
Lastly, I'm using a Macbook. Is it still possible to unlock and flash my phone with a Mac? Thanks.

Oh forgot to ask about this too: What about the GPS? How do you get it to work on ATT? I know I have a free trial for a month so I thought I'd give it a try. I installed the navigator but it gave me a website asking for a login and pw. btw, is it possible to get GPS without paying for it or do you have to have a subscription?

Navigation
Hey i have never used that att navigator if you want a free one.. google nav4all its pretty good and you can get maps for most any country so check it out

Is it a free trial? Do you eventually have to pay?

I use amazegps.com. It's permanently free (ad-supported); Nav4All will eventually start charging, AIUI. The amazegps Windows Mobile version is still in beta and has just released a new version, so there are still a couple of bugs and issues; in particular, the "search" function is switching to a new information provider in the U.S. and so the "local search" function isn't working at the moment. The navigation features work really well, though, with voice prompts and moving 3D maps, etc.
The GPS receiver in the Fuze is a bit finicky. The best advice, AFAICT, is to:
1) Turn off Assisted GPS (Start->Settings->System->AGPS Settings).
2) Set the GPS program port to COM4 (Start->Settings->System->External GPS).
3) Use QuickGPS at least once a week.
4) Download GPSTest, set it to COM4, and run it to start up the GPS unit before running a navigation program. (This is only needed if it's been more than a couple of hours since you last used the GPS; hot start is acceptably fast, but warm starts -- using the QuickGPS download -- can take several minutes, and it's better to use GPSTest to watch what's going on than to listen to your navigation system complaining about not being able to find the satellites.)

Using File Explorer (in Programs->Tools, as I recall), navigate to \Windows and scroll down close to the bottom of the list. You'll see a couple of executable files named "YouTube". Tap-and-hold on the larger one and tap on "Copy" from the pop-up menu. Then navigate to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and pick Edit->Paste Shortcut from the lower-right Menu button.

i found the youtube.exe file but when i go to programs to paste it, there's no edit button.

Hold your stylus down until the menu appears, there you will see the Paste Shortut option. I also like to us GSfinder instead of the file explorer that comes with it.
http://page.freett.com/todamitsu/GSFinderE.htm

i just tried holding down on the stylus but no menu pops up but it didn't
work. the youtube client works but i can't move it. it's start - programs - then paste right?
Btw, are you guys all using PCs to add these new programs onto your phone? If I have a Mac, then is it still possible?
and for the weather, right now I'm in Ithaca but I guess it wasn't important enough to be in the weather app. Is there a way to put in Ithaca? Thanks.

GPS on Raphael (aka FUZE, Touch PRO) takes looooong time to get a fix vs. Tilt (6 min vs. under 3 min) and not to mention about lagging, too. I'm on Tomtom 7 in USA and Garmin XT elsewhere. With those applications you don't have to have internet access on the go.
Create a shortcut, I normally use "Resco File Explorer". Browse to the exe file which you want to have a shortcut, tap and hold the stylus, then choose "send to" then "Start Menu as Shortcut" Trial version does the job, in case you don't want to shell out some money.
Worldmate standard version (now free) does have weather in which you can put your zipcode. Want to use in Manila Weather? Search for "Weather Database Editor"
If you don't have a PC, buy one then Just kidding! You can use cab file to install application.

Thanks Nghiem.
Hm, so I can't use the file explorer that came with the phone?
What is a cab file and how do you use it? Is it related to those "tweaks"? Do you have to flash your phone before you can use these things? And what's the hardspl?
On games, how do you guys get them? I used to have a Sony Ericsson w810 and I was able to download and install java games for free. Is it possible to do the same with the Fuze? I want to play Brain Challenge 2 lol (the demo was fun).

Shortcut to Bluetooth Settings?

Anyone know how to create a shortcut to the page with bluetooth settings?
To be specific, I get there by tapping start, settings, connections, bluetooth. But I'd like to be able to get there with one click from my homescreen or programs folder. I know this was possible with previous versions of Windows Mobile - by creating a "bluetooth.Ink" shortcut. But I was unable to get this method to work with my Touch Pro - the shortcut must be different.
To be clear, I'm not looking for a bluetooth toggle - but I'd like to get to the page that shows bluetooth devices, with fewer clicks.
Thanks.

Xda-dev commnity made a Bluetooth.exe file,which is able to do lot of trick using different commandline arguments. For me is the most important to have toggle off/diiscoverable. Try to search for it,I wrote it here several times already.

Thanks! I'll search for that bluetooth.exe - and see if it can do what I'm looking for.

Search the market. I only played with it for a few minutes, but it seems to offer more features than some other similar apps out there.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.MarcelloAlbano.LazyDroidServer
If anyone needs...
I'm going to try and test, thanks!

Very sorry... i'm a new user on xda so i cannot post link until i reach 8 posts .... so thanks for posting ... i'm still doing betatesting but i've other features ready to implement...

Remote view is upside down for me on Dell Streak with StreakDroid. Other than that, it's golden.

yes... on some device frame buffer is rotated of 180 degree... but i've already provided the fix for this on my dev version... i think i will release the update in this week!
Thanks for you reporting!

How do you use this? I've tried connecting to the ip address shown when i run the app.

Is IE needed for remote view to work?
It's all skewed on Firefox 4

I dont think so. I tried everything on Chrome and it works fine. Did you change the setting from 16-bit to 32-bit? If not, do it

Ie9 and FireFox 4 they doesn't work... they have some issues with css but i hope to fix it very soon... i have an update ready far this week

I read on the comments that someone lose connection when the screen locks. This is a setting of the phone in Wi-fi settings. You have to disable from advanced settings. I'm preparing a faq for this .
Thanks to all for your comments.
The double sms on some phones is going to be fixed (already fixed... just wait the update )

Thanks to all for your feedback.
I've already prepared other web app like a web terminal (yeah... entirely written with a my native library... first experiment ) and a file manager that are ready, but before release i wanna just fix some bug , and make the damned camera working -.-'.
If you think other web app can be useful simply tell me ... i will see what i can do...
I'm still working to make the interface compatible with IE9 and Firefox 4... just give me some time...

Update just released!!!
- Double sms sent (rarely) fixed
- Remote View can be rotated now (some phone need this)
- Call a contact with country code prefix will now work
- Still Speed enhancement
- Another Camera fix (i'm doing some test, but i need your feedback, i've no more 3 phone for testing)
- Added Faq
- Minor Bugfixes (as always
Thanks for all your feedback, they are very useful for me.
I've other web apps ready, but first i want to fix all bugs i can find, so please help me

Awesome update. Works like a dream now. I have a feature request though. In remote view, it would be cool to open apps using your mouse. Like for example, you click on Market and the market app opens. And you can scroll through the market and install apps without even having to physically touch your phone. I dont know if it's possible but it sure would be cool

I've already done this... but i've removed because it was too slow... uhm... maybe i can do something with silverlight or java... maybe a java applet...
I forgot to say that both camera and remote view can be used with a driver as a normal Windows Image Acquisition Device... so you can use skype or what you want... you need a driver that you can get here http://dl.filekicker.com/send/file/226163-6E45/IPCameraDS.exe, and this is the homepage http://www.webcamxp.com/home.aspx It's free for personal use.
For Camera you have to set http://<YOUR_IP_ADDRESS>:<YOUR_PORT>/Services/Camera/GetStream
For Remote View you have to set http://<YOUR_IP_ADDRESS>:<YOUR_PORT>/Services/RemoteControl/GetStream
To use this feature you have to disable authentication...

I've relased another update after a day full of work!
- Remote view improvements. Automatic recognition of settings. Now works on all phones.
- Web interface now works with Internet Explorer 9, but is slower and does not support Mjpeg stream (IE doesn't support). Use Chrome if you want full functionally.
- Sms dynamic loading fixed
Contact me for everything!

Can you add a computer notification (ie pop up, sound etc) for the usb connection when you recieve a text or notifications on your phone? Also, answer calls on your phone? Haha just some thoughts.

Hope you make the SMS more streamline. Ajax updates ... display photo ... etc.
Anyway you have intentions to add a File Explorer so we can transfer files into our phone from your web interface?

I'm just working on the File Manager...
Can you explain better what you are saying about sms?

[APP] Automagic

For those not aware of automagic:
Automagic is a automation application that uses a flow-chart interface to set-up the automations you want. It has a few pre-programmed flows (mostly hidden in the 'catalog'), but it's mainly the imagination that's the limit. So my reasoning for this post is collecting more flow charts or ideas, share them with others and hopefully inspire more.
Link
Automagic for Gleeo
Automagic premium
Automagic for gleeo is in principal for their time managing app Gleeo, but it can be used for a number of different tasks as wel.
Automagic premium is their paid app, I know that's commercial but it only features more actions/triggers/... than the free version, which is already pretty versatile on its own.
Flow charts
flow charts typically consist of
- a trigger (rectangle box with rounded corners)
- a condition (diamond box)
- an action (rectangle box)
My flow charts
- basic airplane mode by clock (see catalog by pressing the menu button)
- a basic wifi connected > disable mobile data // wifi disconnected > enable mobile data
- 2 NFC triggered flows (but they could be altered to location/time)

This app looks interesting. Love the flow chart design.
I downloaded the lite version, but there seem to be very little things I can do with it.
I dont mind paying for the pro, but would like to test the task that I wish to setup firtst; as I've already bought AutomateIt and Tasker (too complicated for my usage). AutomateIt does not have some actions that I wish to setup e.g. WIFI tethering.
Is there a trial app? or do you happen to have a Xperia S, and can confirm if the following action work:
1) trigger on/ off WIFI tethering (without intervention)
2) trigger on/ off GPS (without intervention)
3) trigger on/ off NFC (without intervention)

This application shows a lot of potential. I bought the pro version and will play around with it as soon as I have some time. In the mean time, I downloaded and activated and313's Proximity Screen On/Off flow. It works pretty well except for a weird admin problem message when trying to turn off the screen.
Overall, a good program with a lot of potential. Well done guys :good:
Edit: Enabling admin privileges for Automagic from settings solves the issue.

Been using this as a replacement for Tasker and have been very happy with it. The flowchart style profiles and logging options make creating complex profiles much easier. The other thing I like is that many options like NFC or lockscreen toggling are built in and it doesn't need all the extra addins/plugins that I needed to get things done with Tasker.

Kinda surprised this isn't popular. Any reason why? Seems like it's a very well made app.

utter! + Automagic + permanent voice recognition
Hi, good day all.
I'm trying to use command:2 (invoke permanent voice recognition) intent via automagic instead of Tasker. I much prefer Automagic and will not turn away from it. (I'm a novice re: programming language if even that)
I'll explain what I have tried so far, hopefully someone can lend a helping hand.
In Automagic I have tried "Start Activity" and "Send Broadcast" Action Types.
I'm making some progress with the "Start Activity" Action where my...
-ACTION TYPE = "Start Activity"
-ACTION = "android.intent.action.SEND"
-Explicit Component Checked...
PACKAGE NAME = "com.brandall.nutter"
CLASS NAME = "com.brandall.nutter.EIH"
EXTRAS =
"putString(command, 2);
putString(password, mypassword123)"
The ACTION results in a toast "utter! password failure for external application", it looks like the command is registering, but the password is not.
My utter! POWER USER PASSWORD = "mypassword123" literally, to make things simple... that password worked for me when invoking command:2 in Tasker. I've tried different alphanumeric passwords in utter! as well.
In other words I'm trying to set the data extras in automagic to "command:2" and "password:mypassword123", but, Automagic forces ";" and forces "putString" prestatements, if that makes any sense.
It looks like automagic has all intent Function, Variable, and Snippet options ie: putString, putBoolean, putFloat, putDouble etc.
How can I get Automagic activate the permanent voice recognition function in utter!?
It would be great to just be able to have some kind of activity shortcut to turn on off voice recognition instead of this, or just have it boot with phone boot. But I'm definately not complaining as utter! is free and very good!, thanks!

RESOLVED!
The great people at Automagic have replied to me (very quickly I might add) and have resolved my problem.
So for those of you who wish to control the permanent voice recognition of utter! via Automagic, here's the solution...
"Hi,
Your configuration almost works, only the extras field needs some small adjustments:
-ACTION: doesn't matter
-Explicit Component: Checked
-PACKAGE NAME: com.brandall.nutter
-CLASS NAME: com.brandall.nutter.EIH
-EXTRAS:
putInt("command", 4);
putString("password", "test");
It seems that utter uses an int for the command and not a string so you have to use the putInt function in this case.
The first parameter of the putInt and putString function needs to be a string, therefore the key has to be put into double quotes otherwise it would refer to a variable with this name.
Please also see the help page of action 'Script' for a description of the scripting language:
http://automagic4android.com/en/help/components#action_script
Utter also offers a plugin which can be used in Automagic with the action 'Plugin' but I'm not sure if utter allows to control the same functions using the plugin.
Automagic ROCKS!:good:

unknown cell ID's
In Llama, there's a trigger to invoke an action whereby if you are connected to unknown cell ID's the action is triggered. I wonder if it's possible to do the same on Automagic. Any ideas?

Hi,
please add a new action > remove / disable alarm
edit: calendar event from google calendar works also? edit 3: tested, its working

I've been wondering that as well. This is a truly amazing app, and automating my phone has never been this fun. Automagic is compatible with all the Tasker plugins, and I have yet to find anything I can't do with this app that I could do with Tasker.
Here is part of my battery saving flow, enabling data traffic for a short while four times per hour while the screen is off (except for during nights and when battery is low), at the same time making sure not to turn off data if there is any ongoing traffic.
I could do the same in Tasker, but I find it so much easier to do when you can see the whole automation flow like this. Also, it looks impressive

It's working very well, and my battery lasts noticeably longer. Previously I was using a separate app for this, but making my own flow was more fun, and works just as well.
Here are the flows for you (one for when turning the screen off and one for when turning it on).

Hi,
also tried to import xml files into Automagic Premium (AP)
But whithin the app you just get some bad Apps to select for opening the importing file. (Look at: Menue=>Manage=>Import Flows/Widgets)
So here is how it works for me:
- search file with any file browser
- try to open it and select AP for this action
- done
Next you open AP you'll find the flow at the "Ungrouped" folder, or in the folder defined by the programmer.
Hope this can help.

Hi,
press the 3dot to open the quick menü for this flow and then press send, now you can attached the xml file here

This is best automation app i have ever used as i used tasker and lima.. But this app is so powerful and so fun.. I love it.. And so easy to use.. Recommended for everyone...

I know this is an old thread, but I just found out about it and was wondering if anyone had any amazing flows they'd like to share?
