I got it, messed around with it at work (sitting outside) and it looked amazing. Then went to use it at the end of the day on my drive home (just to test it out) and it never successfully routed me by the time I got home so I've yet to have a "real world experience" with it, but I assume the servers were just getting hammered or something (connects to server to route, re-route, etc).
Gonna keep messing with it tho because it seems pretty impressive for a beta.
Edit: and before people ask, I don't think sharing the apk is a good idea. It definitely does an online authentication check every time you run it.

anyone wanna post the .apk?

hahah.
Well all of a sudden during the authentication step mine is telling me there is an update available and says update or no thanks. If i click update it takes me to the market with a search for the publisher which doesn't return wikitude drive (nor is it available anymore if i search for it) and if i click don't update, it says auth failed and doesn't let me do anything.
Maybe a glitch? Maybe they revoked the beta?
Edit: Just found this on their website.

Fellow testers,
Thank you for participating in our Wikitude Beta Test phase and also thank you for the great feedback!
** Currently Wikitude Drive does not work because the routing server is disabled **

Noooooo!
I guess I'll just run the Camera app with the Navigation in the Background for now.

is it full? I cannot see it on the market, only the browser....

Can anyone post the apk?

I don't think it's a good idea. Unless someone is willing to hack it to get around the activation step, it is definitely doing an online check against their servers every time you use the app. Color me paranoid, but I suspect they are keeping a close eye on the activation server
There have been cases of closed beta's being pulled before for people sharing APK files, and I have a feeling it would not take long to shut this down if people start doing that.

For those, who have a beta version. The server is now up again.
please be patient, there are only a few slots for beta testers.
the user amount on the server is limited, if its full -> you'll get a messeage: authentification faild.
Have a safe test drive!

Both of these were first 2 things I noticed/thought of when playing around with this app. Another thing, tho probably a lot more complex, would be options to tweak the route/routing algorithm. IE, avoid toll roads, stay on highway, avoid highways. If feasible, this would be a great enhancement!
Congrats on creating such a unique and useful app!

quick question regarding this app, is it using gps signal or does it require 3g/2g data?

jblazea50 said:

It requires GPS Signal to get your current position.
The internet connection e.g 3G/2G/HSDPA/WLAN... is used to calculate the route.
If you leave the route during navigation, the route will be recalculated. this also uses the internet connection.
A 100km long stretch takes about 50kb traffic.

I'm also a little concerned about the amount of data used.
As shown in the video, it is also able to use a 3D-map (used during night ect), is this map downloaded dynamically, or do you purchase a certain map (like western Europe)?
If possible I would like to buy a map once and for all, in order to save on data.

[APP][ROOT] Sqlite Vacuum Cleaner

Hey Guys.
I've just scribbled up this app for clearing up some unused space on your data partition. This is done by "Vacuuming" you sqlite databases.
This process recreates the archive, and removes all the unused (reserved) space from the databases. If entries are oftenly deleted these spaces can become quite big. And that adds up over many databases.
So if you want to try it out it is attached to this post. Please leave some feedback, and consider donating if you like the app. It'll help me get away from my craptop (Crappy Laptop).
Also, if we have any artists out there feel free to give your try on an icon for the app.
NEW VERSION UP:
Rewrote app (Hopefully for the better)
Now shows how much space was cleaned
-- Kiljacken

Reserve second post, and also a little bump. Hope you don't mind

It says there It would take awhile, but it only took just a couple of second. Is it supposed to work this way?

What an interesting app. I've tested, and it took a few mins to "do its thing".
It does what you said... good job!

Keeps Crashing on Motorola Atrix
Thanks for the APPS.
While scanning the apps keeps crashing for me. I have a rooted Motorola Atrix running Cherry-Pi Rom.
Thanks.

Trying it now Thanx for developing!
The end result is that we get more space left on the internal space? No speed bumps?

Tried it out and looks like I gained 6MB I did a full Titanium backup beforehand just in case. Nice job! Stick an icon on this puppy and get it on the market!
Edit: One recommendation: If possible, show how much space was gained after the process is complete.

holy ****, i gained at least 10mb!
thank you

thx for sharing work perfectly

Brilliant! Definately will be watching the progress on this one.

good share mate

Ran the app. It took about 30 secs and didn't specify anything about how many MB is cleaned. Does that mean there was nothing to clean?

Thanks for the app kiljacken!

The app does not display the MB cleaned / gained at this time. I suggested that feature. You just have to check the space before and after for now.

Great also on my device about 10 MB more after cleaning.

I second that suggestion, it would make the tool even better.

More suggestions:
1. Maybe you can add a top 3 list of the biggest offenders?
2. Add the ability to schedule a clean. For example, I would like to have this run every day at 5AM.

the amount of space added in a day means you probably wouldnt need to run it every day
this app is a great concept though, much easier than manually vacuuming, ive saved ~3mb from my mmssms.db alone (when i manually vacuumed it), having an app to do this automatically is a great idea

Free Dropbox 25GB with T-Mobile purchase?

I bought the phone but forgot to ask where, how to get my free 25GB on Dropbox. I've installed DB on the phone but it only shows 2.5GB storage... which is how much any schmoe gets.
Anyone know how to activate that?

You log into your dropbox account when setting up the phone or under accounts in the settings menu.

I'm already logged in. It only shows 2.5GB of storage.
After I bought the phone from T-Mobile I used it to create and sign into a new Dropbox account. That account only shows 2.5 GB. So is there something I'm missing? Maybe they've retracted that offer?

They lied I didn't get no extra 25GBs.

Thanks! That was it. I had used a throwaway email account to register, so I may have never found my 25GB if I hadn't asked.

Also did you install new dropbox app, or used your existing?
I didnt have any problems with extra space. Logged in phone and got e-mail.

you need to fill out some questions. When you first log on with your phone. it tells you what the site is. www.dropbox.com/freespace of something like that...

what worked for me
I had to turn camera uploads on for this to work. I already had dropbox installed on my PC so when I turned on camera uploads, I snapped a few photos (rapid fire 5 photos in 2 secs . When they all completed the upload to dropbox on my pc I got a message claiming my guruness and I had the extra space.
Hope that helps....

As i understand it, they way you get the extra 25GB storage is by completing 5 of the 7 or so steps in using drop box.
IE. installing drop box on a machine you use, installing on a second machine, uploading from phone, sharing files with friends etc.
Once you complete all steps you will get the email about upgraded account "supercharged" status.

The HTC bonus does not have anything to do with camera uploads, etc. etc.
It's dependent on two things:
- Linking your eligible device to your Dropbox account.
- Completing 5 out of 7 of the Dropbox Getting Started Tasks.
You should get your space as soon as you have these two things completed.
Dropbox Help Center Article:
www[dot]dropbox[dot]com/help/249 (I'm not able to post url's yet)
Three things to consider if you didn't get your space:
- did you complete the Dropbox getting Started Tasks? (it can take some time to show up after completing this)
- did you link your HTC phone to another account previously? (the bonus will only be given to the first account the device is linked to)
- did you use the modified .APK previous to getting your actual HTC One phone? (Dropbox has said there will be a delay granting those users space)

An official DropBox representative wrote on a help forum about this.
You need to complete the getting started stuff again. Some say it triggered on inviting someone to Dropbox. For me it triggered when I installed Dropbox on my new laptop.
Just go through step by step the getting started stuff, and invite a random person if necessary.
This is a bit off-topic but worth noting.. I had 15GB free before I got the 25GB. Now i have like 35GB or so. (it's a bit off because they only give you 23 or something really as you saw in that person's post)
It's worth it to refer people you know. I used the form to e-mail all my contacts, and even a year later got some people who finally got around to signing up LOL. Through all that I was able to get 15GB.

Mine says I have earned 23GB but that I "can now store up to 5.38 GB of stuff in your Dropbox"... weird, and irritating.

[APP] Jottacloud - cloud storage & Android recovery

I discovered a new cloud storage service. Of course there are myriads of them but this one has some pretty unique features and IMO it is worth testing.
The name of the service is Jottacloud and it was described by AddictiveTips yesterday http://www.addictivetips.com/window...t-lets-you-recover-accidentally-deleted-data/
If you sign up till the end of November you will receive 15 GB storage. 10 GB is a bonus for early adopters, the basic and free version of the service will offer 5 GB. But what is interesting the Jottacloud Android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jottacloud.android.client backup and recovery functions and they work really very well (described here http://www.jottacloud.com/autosync-for-android )
Some first impressions:
- the online version of the service is in Norwegian by default and you have to switch it manually from Bokmal to English, German, etc.
- in order to receive the extra storage you you have to set up and do at least one synchronisation. After that the extra space should become available to you
- the Web and Windows work really well, the Android apk has some bugs like the way of closing the app is a bit annoying. I hope it will be improved.(EDIT: the new, improved version of the app is already available)
- the recovery function works really well and I wonder if it can be used for syncing accross devices (like tablets and smartphones). I cannot test it because I have only one device. Is anyone who can figure it out?
- what is nice you can choose if syncing/Android backup should be done over WiFI/3G
- the upload is blazingly fast. The upload saturates my 40/4 Mb VDSL. I use different storages and Jottacloud is one of the best (like Russian Yandex or Swiss Wuala), far faster than Dropbox or Sugarsync
- there are no size limitations - I uploaded a DVD ISO file (4.3 gigabytes) and had absolutely no problems with it.
- as in other services there is a referral program and one can enlarge the storage space up to 100 GB (according to the service: Invite friends to Jottacloud.Your friend will receive an invitation to Jottacloud by e-mail. Your friend clicks on the link and sign up on Jottacloud. Both you and your friend gets 5 GB of bonus storage You can get up to 100 GB bonus storage). Just in case let me know if you would like to receive the invitation from me or you can share the invitations with your friends, etc.
TIP: Click any referral link that XDA users published below. Use it if you wanna 5 gigabytes extra for you and for them It means that till the end of November you will receive 20 gigabytes of space (and 10 after November).

I just discovered this service as well and have to admit that I'm pretty impressed so far. What I especially like (additionally to the points you already mentioned) is the fact, that you can easily sync existing folders on your PC as well (and don't need to setup extra folders, as Dropbox requires).
One more thing: You can actually get 20 GB of free space. If you join via an invitation, you and the inviting person will both receive 5 GB extra. So in case you want to use this option and treat you and me some extra space, here's my invitation link: https://www.jottacloud.com/signup?referer=8B397F51699CB3E863D50F1BDAB9B9B1

I agree. I've had a free 50gb from Box for a couple of years, but the lack of Sync makes it far less useful. Any use of that space is accomplished manually, which partially defeats the purpose.
Unless I'm missing something - is there a way to get Box files and folders to automatically update, upload, etc.?

I don't think so. You can of course save from a lot of apps on your 700 or other Android to the cloud, and access your files (provided you have some kind of data connection), but automagically... not with the app itself. I saw that an app I have been using for a loooong time with my own FTP server actually supports syncing... <blush>: FolderSync. Will give it a try.
Trial version ("only allows two accounts and has no sync filters or Tasker support" -- enough for testing Box ):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite
Full version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full
EDIT: confirmed working! I really recommend FolderSync for its versatility and all the options it throws at you. Nice to see it actually works.

It works!! Thank you! I also noticed that Polaris Office can save/edit files on Box no problem.

This is a great offer, no strings from what I've been reading in their TOS and 3rd party reports. Seems they just started the offer and who knows how long they will. They do limit the file size per file though. So to move big files, then you have to pay.
One thing to keep in mind about this deal though, they offer zero warranty and zero guarantees of your data being secure. See item#14 of the TOS. But I guess you can't ask for much when it's free .

Thanks for the link - no, I wasn't aware of this, and it does look promising.
It looks like this would work for my phone, but I'll have to see if there's a Windows desktop equivalent. That's where it would be the most useful. I'm currently using IDrive to backup various files and folders on my desktop, in real time. I was able to get 15gb of free storage there, and it does do full sync, but I'd love to be able to do this with my 50gb of free Box storage. As I said, the main limitation with free Box is that it does not provide a sync function. If there's a way to enable this with a 3rd party application, that would be ideal.

Exactly - that's what I was referring to. Box definitely does do real-time sync, but you need one of their paid accounts for this.
I have mixed feelings about paying for cloud-based storage, and have taken a serious look at CrashPlan, SOS Online Backup, etc., to do a full backup of perhaps 300gb+ of photos and files. But I haven't convinced myself this is either practical, reliable, or necessary. I currently have a backup strategy with 2 duplicate internal hard drives, updated nightly, along with a similarly cloned external HD backed up weekly, and then stored off-site.
