I've been looking for a LONG time for an android app like this. Anyone have any idea where I might be able to find one.
This is a pic from the iphone app which basically shows when the next new show airs on only specific shows you enter in the app.. nothing else is there like on the TV guide app where you browse channel/time..
Thanks for all your help.
I'm looking for something smiliar... Would be awesome if someone could create an app that works a bit like http://www.pogdesign.co.uk/cat/
Of course I could always load up the website, but would be better to have it as an app. If someone has the time and skills to do a proper app with a good UI I'd definately donate a beer or two.
tvguide.com has an app on the marketplace. There's also tvlisting from jersey productions.
I tried those apps and they arent really what I'm looking for, for anyone who has had an iphone and used "Tv forecast" you will know what I mean..
Instead of sifting through channels 1-900ish trying to find the right show you input it into the program and it comes back with the next NEW showing.. nothing more, no bloating of other random channels you dont care about.
I'm just looking for a similar android app, that would make my iphone -> n1 transition really complete!
the tvguide.com one allows you to put in favorites and it shows you the next showings.
Shoot an email to the dev of TV Forecast, maybe they'll port it.

yup, only basic functionality and a few bugs (beta). But still very useful
Great suggestion, missing some features from tv forecast but the best I've seen yet.

Okay, this is bad a**! I always forget when shows I like will be on. Thanks for the heads up on it.
try TV Show Favs from the market, there is a free ad supported version with 14day premium trial inside.
this app in my experience blows tv forecast out of the water, and is so good i opted to pay for the premium version. even though all the features you want and need are free!
Check this App out. Works perfekt for me. SeriesGuide:

Anyone figured out yet how to change the distance units in Places? Everything else is in metric, but I get the damn distances Places in ****ing miles.
also where do you put filter on Google map search?
eg how can I limit search
oh wait there is a little icon down the bottom left which shows me the search list page.
and yes I see the distance is in eerr.. miles.. I mean who uses that old system..

And for me everything (latitude, places...) is in miles
Indeed, latitude is in miles as well.
...and google still has yet to update the android maps API. The google map-kit for iPhone is still light years ahead of the android.
It's impossible to write a decent map app that performs anywhere near as well as google maps.
I would like to see my own layers. Pics of my kids doing stuff at parks, skateboarding, etc. That would be pretty cool. Point at the ocean and see my kid do an off the top on a wave from last spring. Hah.
Just a thought.
Sent from my FroyoEris using XDA App
You can do that now. You just can't get information about individual map tiles, even something as simple as onMapFinishedLoading() doesn't exist. That means your layers will (often) load before the map is loaded, which looks like crap.
Thank you very much.I Like it
Curious. Does it pull xif data from Picasa for the image overlay? You would think that would be pretty easy to pull off. I mean I would subscribe to other folks layers to see what they do, where they go,etc. So, if I follow a skateboarder and he shares his layer I can see what trick he did at places I also skate. Video embed would be even more awesome.

I installed a NAND rom and was great, but it lacks of most of google apps like Gmail and Google Maps...
Hi,
After the success of the beta programme (over 100 people wanting to signup!) I decided it was time to re-write the platform to allow me to add more features and improve the overall "feel" of it. I also have plans to commercialise the platform, allowing it to be used by businesses/individuals who wish to monitor devices remotely.
The client application for Android is available freely from here and can be included in a custom ROM if you wish to make it persistant across factory resets. I do ask that if your are a ROM developer that you let me know before you do this, and also credit me in your release notes.
There will be 3 main licenses available to you:
Basic
Standard - comming soon
Expert - comming soon
(These apply to your account)
Basic
FREE!
Single device per account
GPS Location
Alarm-on-Demand
Standard
£0.99
Single device per account
GPS Location
Network Location
Alarm-on-Demand
LiveTracking
Includes software updates for 12 months
Expert
£2.99
Multiple devices per account (limit of 5)
GPS Location
Network Location
Alarm-on-Demand
LiveTracking
Includes software updates for 12 months
I am also considering the possibility of an API which a business could use to extract information and use it in their own way. Please contact me if you are interested.
How to install?
Remove any older versions from your device
Install the latest version from above
Goto "http://promethium.mobi" and signup
On your phone, follow the instructions to register your device against your account
Login to "http://promethium.mobi" and have fun!
I haven't moved any old accounts over, so you should signup again.
Enjoy,

Hi,
I have created a geolocation app a bit like MobileMe or htcsense.com for any Android 2.2 device with Market. Allows you to show your device on a map and make the alarm sound, all via a web portal.
http://promethium.mobi/
This site is the main portal, There will be limited accounts to start with, just 20. These will be BETA accounts as I need people to trial the system to get feedback etc. Currently the email address has to be unique, but doesn't need to be a valid address, however this will be useful when you try and report issues.
Once you have signed up, the latest APK for the client application will be downloadable from the portal toolbar. This app will ask for the same login credentials used on the portal, and once connected you are ready to use the portal functions.
Check the site periodically, as I will allow more signups as the application progresses.
Please can we keep all bug reports within this thread, I would rather develop this in the open.
Enjoy,
Rich

OK people!
Thanks to all those who already registered, just a few spaces left if people want to signup. Please only signup if you are happy to engage in helping me improve this platform... any accounts created but not activated within a day will be removed!
So far I have made quite a few alterations, improvements to the UI on the portal, as well as more interactive feedback. This means that you need to re-download and install the client app - this will overwrite the current one, and will keep all existing settings
Enjoy!
Very nice application! Good

Well that's why! I figured it would play it's own notification. I have the alarm volume set to 0 because I don't ever use it.lol

I haven't included an "alert" sound yet, as I thought people would recognise their own alerts easier. I like the idea of adding a customise option to the app though Thanks!

Hmm that's weird. It didn't change the volume, but when I manually did it, the sound worked. Other than that, the app looks and works great!
One more suggestion though, idk if it's possible, could you have it force turn on gps? I normally leave it off so if I actually do lose my phone, it would just give me the giant radius of the cell tower location...
Also, I notice you're using dyndns. Is the computer/server you're running it on going to be up 24/7?
**EDIT**
One more suggestion, a "My Phone's Location" button on the portal that snaps to the location and centers it.

Sorry, starting from Android 1.5 cupcake, you cannot programmatically toggle GPS. It should be fine to leave it enabled though.

While I am developing the app regularly it is running on a server I have on a dynamic IP line. Once the app is ready for general release it will go onto into a hosted environment.

Hitting "Refresh Location" does this now, but it takes up to 5 seconds to move across the map, I will look at making it snappier

I have read through the SDK documentation and the best you can do is prompt the user to enable it. So kind of misses the point
I have also altered the JavaScript code so that clicking on the location refresh button zaps you to the marker instantly, but you still have to wait until the phone updates the server to see the latest result

Thanks for the positive feedback - glad you like it so far.
Yes, more features will be coming soon, including a "Lock" ability. This is quite a complicated one though, might require the user to select a "secure" lock screen prior to first use.
I also thought of some wicked uses for the Nexus S, but that will have to wait until I get time ( here's a clue: Peekaboo! )

Hi,
anyone can recommend any application (if it exists) that would be able to read GPX tracks and give me a view on the watch whether I am on track or not? In best case over a map. Doesn't have to be stand alone. I usually have my phone with me anyway. I just don't want to be pulling out my phone every now and then.
Thanks.
Hey,
I´m interested in the exact same thing. Need it for biking, hiking and more.
Also I was wondering if there is a possibility to sync it with google maps or an other Navigation App on my Phone. Would love to start Maps on my Phone type in my destination and follow it on the watch. So that I don`t have to pull out my Phone again and again if I´m lost in the city for example.
Thanks
I'm interested in this too. Also, I know that Viewranger offer an Android app but not a Tizen compatible one. Does anyone know of a mapping app suitable for hiking etc. (i.e. will work with gpx route files or similar) that is available for Tizen?
I found out something already. Komoot seems to be pretty close. Although it works on Gear S3, it doesn't seem to offer this functionality yet on the watch. Offers it on sister Android application though. I sent them question/request today on this. They seem to be listening to requests from user community so perhaps they listen and act. Maybe it helps if you write them too.

Komoot have advised me that they already have an app compatible with the Gear. This is what they said:
Hi Gareth we already have done that! You can get the Gear app extension you need for the komoot app to communicate with your watch in the Samsung Gear Store. Can you tell me, which phone you are using? Best regards Daniela
Click to expand...

I told her I've just ordered my S3 Frontier from Amazon.es and hope to get it next week, so will try their app then and report back.
Of course they have. That's what I mention above ("it works on Gear S3") but it doesn't offer the funcionality we are looking for. You can't see GPX track on watch together with your position (and map underneath it in best case) so you can follow it. I assume it offers just navigation (shows only direction signs) but Komoot doesn't navigate on external GPX tracks.
I got e-mail moment ago from them too saying:
Currently not, but you can post your suggestion in our forum here:

Hi all, I am not sure if anyone managed to get any progress on this but I am happy to inform you that finally there is an application that does what we have been looking for. It is called Gear Navigator (http://mobiteka.pl/index.php/component/k2/item/257-navigator) so feel free to test. There are still some things that can be improved but the essential features are there. I have been running it since beginning of Frebruary and I am very satisfied. Feel free to provide your comments and findings.

With Gear Navigation you can open GPX tracks and you get the map on your watch, better than Komoot in that way. It would be nice if it could work without the phone and without internet, even by just showing the tracks and your position, even without the surrounding map. That would make it more "hiker friendly" for those situations in which you may not have the phone (or need to keep it off to save battery) and you don't have any internet.
I see that the new Gear Navigation Standalone states to have GPX features, but I can't figure out how to upload a GPX to the watch or to the app!
Anyone tried it?
Well, I didn't use it without internet connection yet but I was expecting that the only limitation would be that I won!'t see the actual map but still see the track and my position. Do you say you tried but it doesn't work that way?

You're right, it seems to work even withouth internet. It keeps the map that's in cache, so if you preloaded the area you would even have the map. That's pretty sweet, kind of what the Fenix 5x does for just 800 euros!
That's great news. I was actually cooperating with the Gear Navigator developer and pursuaded him to develop the GPX feature. I did highlight to him that although the feature does what I wanted, the biggest gap I see is the inability to use the app without data connection. I even think the maps from Google are not the best for outdoor activities. He told me he will consider it but I am not very optimistic about it as it would be too much work for him and it seems that the demand is quite small.
Hi,
New owner of a samsung gear, i'm looking for what you discuss about!
Gear navigator is quiet good and seems the better!!! But something missing for me, i would like to import gpx from another place in order to follow it on the map, bit i didn't sucess.
If someone have some advice to do it, it would be great!!
Hi,
It's easy. You just click on the GPX file (in file browser, not GPX Navigator) a choose to open it in Gear Navigator.
R.
Okay, I'm trying to locate this app. Is it "Gear Navigator Standalone"? I only have a Bluetooth model so does this app need a watch with a data connection? Or does it need a phone and does it only work with Samsung phones? I've got a Blackberry Priv which is a BB ANDROID phone.
While the price of $2.99 is not outrageous, I really don't want to spend money if it is not going to work (no refund in the samsung store????).
JurekDJ, when you mention just above, open the file in the file browser, if this on a phone or on the watch - as you may be able to tell, I'm fairly new to the watch.
Any other info would be most helpful.
