Google Streetview stopped working?

Has Google Streetview stopped working in v4.0 of GMM?
Or is this an issue with the Leo?
On my Touch Pro I would just hold the stylus to the screen and a menu popped up with Street view as an option.
On the HD2 I can't see, to get to this. A finger on the screen brings up the address of where I am touching and a small picture that looks like it could be Street View, but I can't select it.
It this my fat monk fingers or has it stopped working on the Leo or in this version of GMM?
If it is still there, I'm guessing it doesn't work with the compass yet (for turning the view).
Ta,

go to menu-layers and there you will find street view hope that i helped you!

FONTS???
Hi,

was curious when i saw this post. I dont get street view near me either as i dont live in a city. I can confirm that street view is available in London but i havent tried other cities. I just held on the map until the location was displayed and then clicked that to get more options and one was streetview. im presuming other cities such as Liverpool and Manchester may have street view also.

That's bad news indeed...i've got a lot of mods done allready. Thanks for your answer I'll try uninstalling some cabs, what worked for you?
Simply uninstalling Googlemaps will also work and is quit less time consuming

reinstalling google maps does not help.it will stay the same.at least it did for me.i would try first some apps which are older or using simple types of GUI.i had this problem with GPS Speedo app as far as i can remember.

I just pressed the screen/card and get a menu. Here you can chose streetview!

I found it yesterday, but its being a bit flaky finding places that I know have streetview (as I've looked at them before on my Touch Pro).
It seems that in this new version (4.0) you hold a finger on the screen and a cross appears. It then automatically tried to find the adress where that cross is.
When it find the address a ballon pops up over the cross with the adress AND a small streetview picture.
Tapping that Streetview picture does nothing!
You have to press the 'Select' softkey at the bottom which brings up a menu.
Briefly, at the moment, I see 'checking streetview' but streetview is not an option on the menu that pops up. Yesterday streetview WAS on that menu.
So... that's where it's gone in the new version, bt it seems to be being a bit flaky at the moment.

No Maps live wallpaper?

Trying to add the maps live wallpaper to my X10 on 2.1 but can't see it under live wallpapers? any ideas?

No one else having this problem?

Yeah I don't have it either. But it's not a problem for me and probably most others lol. Maybe you can download it somewhere? I dunno dude.

I couldn't find it either, but I did find one called Advanced map that lets you select from a number of different map sources. Best part is that it's free. Here's the description:
Set your favourite map as a Live Wallpaper showing your current position. Maps include Ordnance Survey, Google, Satellite, Bing, OpenStreetMap, and USA VFR and IFR charts (aviation)
* Automatic position refresh
* Map caching (low data usage)
* Battery friendly (no GPS required)
* Zoom settings
* Smooth scrolling
* Traffic
http://www.appbrain.com/app/advanced-map-live-wallpaper/com.androidgamer.osmlw
You can search for it in the market or if you have a barcode scanner app you can go to the link I posted and scan the barcode there to pull it up.
It's worked pretty well for me so far.

Mine offered it after I installed brut maps.

I want th eWeather / clock widget thats posted from the 2x I installed the apk file by downloading to the computer and adding to my phone then used appinstaller to install but it is not in my widgets. I do see it under my applications. Could someone please help me

It's in the Apps and themes section under LG apps or something like that. If you're not using a custom launcher like adw then then widget takes the entire screen. I am using MIUI Digital Weather, free on the market.

Right, I had this issue back on Froyo. I don't know why, but it only worked if I wasn't using a custom launcher. If you disable your launcher, it will work. I notice on 2.3.3 that LG calender widget doesn't appear on the widget menu.
I have the Stock LG camera on 2.3.3, zero lag.

Are you on 2.2.2 or 2.3.3?
Well, after pressing the button the camera has to adjust its focus and whatnot to take a good picture.

There is an almost identical one in the Market called 3D Digital Weather Clock. It will show up as a widget and works quite well.

That was the "almost identical" part of my comment. Sorry, I couldn't find an exact duplicate.

GO Weather is a similar widget and it's skinable to be flowery or several other things.

Lock Screen Wallpaper

Anyone figure this one out yet? I have been scratching my head trying to be able to change mine. I followed some guys instructions on Reddit, but that didn't work for me. Wondering if anyone else had figured it out.

Here's how to change it:
Long press on an empty area of the home screen
At the bottom, choose "Lockscreen Wallpaper"
Make your selection
Hit "Set For LockScreen Wallpaper"

The lockscreen wallpaper is kind of annoying, but the persistent "This device is HD capable" notification is driving me out of my mind.

He's using the stock launcher. If you switch back to that, you can change the lock screen wallpaper with a long press on the homescreen.

Unfortunately, I didn't (well, at least not for what you're seeing in that screenshot). If you visit plus.google.com in Chrome, it offers to put a link to the site on your home screen. So, that icon just opens the web version of Google+. I did install Google+ earlier today, but because I had to sign it myself to remove the conflicting permissions (it conflicts with the improperly built Gallery app), Google's servers rejected the client. IMO, the only chances we have of getting a working Google+ installed are 1) if the phone is rooted, then we should be able to replace the Gallery app with a non-broken one, or 2) Lenovo needs to fix it. Option 2 might happen by accident if they ever decide to release Android 7.

Looks like you can only change the lock screen wallpaper to a static picture, no live wallpapers unfortunately. On other phones you can.
Also, I can install and use Google+ just fine it seems, perhaps because I installed their latest December update.

My stock launcher somehow become corrupted, every second, I get "Unfortuantely Launcher has stopped working". It was a ***** to get to the Google Play store between saying, "ok" and having the message pop again in 1 second. So I was able to get into Play store and install another Launcher that is near the original Launcher_3. However, it does not have that LockScreen Walpaper mode.
I don't know how to fix and reinstate the original launcher. Even after trashing and reinstalling it, it still doesn't work.
Any insight?

Default Gallery App Change

Hi
Seems like Google Photo's is hard coded to be the default picture viewer.
If you install something else you are not prompted to choose the new default as you would expect.
Disabling google photo's and trying to force new default doesn't work either.
Perhaps with future ROM?
Anything anyone achieved without root etc. till now? Thanks.
Reorienting back and recent keys seems like a no go either, what do people do to get round that?
Thanks for any tips already.

Tryna different camera. Counterintuitive? Maybe. Probably. Definitely. But you will get the option that you want.
But this has ALWAYS been the case with HTC. I have installed the HTC camera app on other phones, and it was imperative to have the HTC Gallery app to be able to review the photos after they are taken. I know that it's a different gallery app that we are taking about, but I think have the Camera App is the real issue here. The app defines the default photos app.
I may be wrong, but that's something that I discovered a while back.

You could use a custom rom like leedroid, there you can define your favorite app for pictures and it will launch from the camera.
And you can use custom roms without root.

Sure I know about that, it was just a hint to the right direction.
There are some very good guides for it.

What if you sideload the old Gallery app?

install htc album from apk mirror, then disable the google photos app. It should default to htc album then.

It should but it doesn't, and I don't know why... When I disable google photos and install htc gallery nothing hapens when I try to open photos from camera.

Any fix for this yet?

Would love to see a fix too!

I got around all the little issues with Photos by disabling that app.
Then got "QuickPic" from Google Play and made it Gallery app in it's settings.
Aggravation instantly gone. Works fine without giving an argument about everything.

on our rom you can pick any gallery app as preview album in the camera app.

I've tried many apps as I've never really used Google photos before and had no luck with any. But I've started to like it now. Especially since they added opening straight to albums in the settings.
