Captivate gps cached map - Captivate General

I can help noticing that htc has cached map for desire hd. I know that there is a way to do this, but does anybody know if samsung will do this too? 3G is not available everywhere, it might be helpful and at the same time it saves some limited bandwidth.

Give Google some time. I'm sure it will be a feature in an upcoming release of their navigation apps.

Hopefully, that will be the case.

There is a modified google maps app that supposedly does this, I have not tested it.

[Q] Inspire 4G Android App that keeps track of cellular vs wifi data usage?

I'm curious if there's an app that'll track\report data usage, and break it down between wifi and gprs\cellular data. I'm using my Inspire 4G on a network that doesn't provide me usage reporting, so I'm curious if "there's an app for that" hehe
Thanks!
PS - I'm rooted so if it's a root-needing app that's fine too.
This works great for me

I'll try both and compare, thank you!

Not an app, but if you want to know where your at for your data usage dial, *3282# and you will be sent a message with how much you have used.

If I was on ATT I would do that or just login to my online account... I have an unmetered data provider, who doesn't report back usage, so I just want a way to know for my own curiosity.
Thanks
Data counter widget by Roy Solberg is pretty cool.
keeps up with daily, weekly, and monthly data usage for wifi vs cellular.

Via XDA for Inspire "4G"
3g watchdog works great too
I've been using DroidStats for a couple days now. Seems to work well but I may try some others to compare.
I have the APk from my old Samsung galaxy tab. Its a widget that shows your live data usage. I'm not sure about the legality of posting the apk here if anyone wants it shoot me a pm. Seems to work well on any system I've tried it on.

The free "Traffic Monitor" widget from the market isn't bad. It shows wi-fi vs OTA traffic with upstream, downstream, and total data used. It also breaks the data down by individual apps and does have a built-in speedtest.

There is a monitor application that comes on the MIUI rom that does this. You could probably pull the apk from the rom if you don't want to use MIUI. Or it could be a market app for all I know.

[DEV][APP] Netflix Updated 03-28-11

For those who haven't seen the news that the Netflix apk was taken from the LG Revolution system dump I thought I'd provide the apk for anyone wanting it.
I'm assuming this isn't a violation in anyway, but if so I apologize.
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/03/1...cation-pulled-from-lg-revolution-system-dump/
For those wishing to follow the development of this app on a general Android level I'll include the appropriate thread. Also I will try to provide updates as they come along, but if someone else catches it first let me know and I'll change the OP accordingly.
UPDATE (03-15-11): Now included is the DRM apk found within the LG Revolution. Credit given to cheebahawk over on the EVO forum. Also it is very likely this this will be a no-go given the DRM issue, but I have confidence that those who want this will try their hardest.
UPDATE (03-24-11): Attached is the new apk (com.netflix.mediaclient-2.apk) that auto-updated and included streaming on 03-23-11. However, Netflix has since shutdown streaming again. The attached files may still be useful.
UPDATE (03-27-11): Netflix has since completed shutdown access to their system from the Android app. Users are no longer able to access any functions of Netflix service.
UPDATE (03-28-11): Netflix has turned the service back on, so back functions have been restored. However, streaming is still a no-go.
Thanks man. Too bad we can't stream anything yet. The guys in the Evo thread have been trying to fix this problem and I hope they do.

If it can't stream then what's the point of having it?
Does it download anything?

Mainly just the ability to edit your Instant Queue. Also once Netflix has the service up it "should" stream
Cant Wait for this! Should Be on the Thunderbolt as well if I remember correctly
The app keeps on FC'ing on my phone with CM7-RC1...sucks.

If you'd actually read, it's not working. They are working on it so give it time. It's from a completely different system so it isn't hard to understand why it doesn't work.

Like many already posted, i have it installed on my rooted incredible. Again you can manage your instant que only. When you try to stream you get the "1005 error." Excited to see what the Devs. can do!

Seems like they're waiting for the service to actually go online. Only so much you can do with a non-available service :/

From my understanding of all that has been said about the Netflix app and what Netflix has said in the past, it requires a phone with a chip that has DRM baked in, so the chip in the Incredible and Evo isn't new enough and will not work unless they hack the app and bypass the DRM requirement. (Which begs the question of whether the phone can manage the DRM via software and keep up)

How nice of you to say, but some Inc users have been getting it to work. I understand it doesn't stream, but it closes after I login. I was just telling other people for reference.
Geeze...

Mine works minus the streaming which is understand. I can view and search and edit my queue however.If I attempt to stream it says it could not contact the service and kicks me out to the main screen.
When I use it (streaming), it just loads, and loads, and loads.... no error anymore, it did at first, but now it just loads forever....

Any word on an update on this? I think its netflix side on this based off the not able to receive info from server error and the netflix site saying Android (obsolete) under list of devices. Once the service goes live I think it should work.

Google Earth

Anyone able to install Google Earth on the sensation yet? Searched for it on market place and while it's there, once I chose it, it wont see my device and won't let me install it.
If I browse from my phone I can't even see it.
Does that mean its not supported or summit else ?
I have it on mine

Have you tried to open the market on your phone, then menu, settings and allow all applications? I got it and works fine... otherwise you can find it directly on the market place : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.earth&feature=search_result
Depends which region you are in and which market and if the regiuonal market supports that particular device/ROM. I cannot get it from the market here in Singapore on the Sensation but do have it on the Flyer.

Am I the only one who has problems with Google Earth?
I mean, using normal view is ok even with ground elevation, but if I switch on 3D buildings the app becomes slower than a snail on a turtle. Of course Sense restarts when I exit.
This sure isn't a cpu issue since this happens both with stock [email protected] and [email protected] Judging from the fact that the app itself eats up almost 100-200mb or RAM (with buldings off and on respectively) it sure is a memory issue. Anything else I could try?
At least I found an easy way to clear ram when I need it or when Sense starts restarting itself! I experienced multiple restarts a while ago, free ram was always below 80mb with nothing running. So I just opened the app, browsed around the map with buildings off, and then closed it through task manager.
I'm at 180-150mb now and it hasn't dropped since
Google earth is on play store and it works great

Does anyone know where i can find the at&t usage bar that comes default on tablets? I can't seem to find the apk anywhere. Thanks.

From what i found, i have read that it is somehow embedded in the stock rom. I imagine that it has to be extracted somewhere. If you find it please let me know. I use 3g watchdog now but would prefer the stock att one.

I may be able to get this for you. It will have to wait until Tuesday when everyone gets back from holiday vacation. I will bookmark this thread and get back to you.
Well, I talked to the product manager for the usage app. Currently, the app is tailored on a device-by-device basis.
Later this year they will be pushing out a Market version of the app. When that hits later this year, you will be able to download it for your device.
Sorry I don't have better news.

Gps question? How do I get it to work?

I am running VB FB Edition and one thing I have noticed is that my Gps does not work. I would like to use the navigation feature but it seems never to get a lock on. There is many apps in the market that say they fix Gps issues. But what does everyone use to get Gps working? Can some advise me? Thanks for all your input.

Somewhere within the VB black thread I think the apk for angrygps is posted. That was suggested for a while to fix the gps issues.
I have not read anybody else with gps problems on FB's VB. You may need to reflash, or clear caches and fix permissions.
Ok I found my issue under development for some reason I had enabled mock gps location enabled. What is that feature for?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
It can enable you to set a different location from where you actually are. For example, if you use any of the maps/location features that show you stuff around you, say hotels, you can use a mock location of where you're headed (say New York City) vs. where you are now (on the highway in New Jersey) to get what's close to that location.
Clear as mud, right?
Also, you can use mock location for development purposes in case you're making an app that uses a GPS location and you don't get a real GPS location, or testing to see if your app will work with different coordinates and how it will react.
EDIT
Woohoo this was my 2000th post!
