FINALLY! Official Google Navigation for Canada

It's about freaking time. The BRUT hack is awesome but it's nice to have the official stuff work.

Great news, thanks for the heads up! I was actually in the process of shopping around for a paid app that did this.

awesome..,

Not sure about everyone in the world but my X10 here in Canada came with the google Navigator app pre installed.

well, the app is installed, its just won't work lol.
it's too late now but before when you try to navigate it will not find a route.
Brut is awesome tho, so I am just glad that it works now.
However, I am messing with Brut's caching function so I might still use brut's map for general map search.

I don't know what you guys are talking about but it works here in Victoria, BC Canada. I just did a test from my house to Wendys =). It gave me turn by turn and was impressed with the accuracy of the route. It was quite smooth when turning too. I purposely made a different turn and not follow and it would automatically re-route. Nice

Does it show you the street view all the time? Mines only shows the pic when you need to turn. that's it.... Don't know why.

Hmm. Mine still says navigation is not available in my area (south western Ontario). Anyone else getting this?

You mean the map? It does. It would also say the street name when it needs me to turn.

For those trying to find the "new" version on the market. IT DOES NOT EXIST.
Canadian navigation has just been unlocked on Google's end. The 4.2.0 version that you have, that has been out for awhile, will work for navigation now.

got it on x10i.
works really well. bus routes was awesome.

Were you able to find the option to search by voice? I wasn't able to find the option in the application...

Do you have the voice recognition software installed? Just thought I'd ask. Mine works with voice recognition rather well here.

It turns out that it is not available from the market in Canada but I installed it and it seems to work now.

Sorry to drag this old post back up but I just got my X10 last night (coming from HTC Magic) Simple question (most likely dumb) does this use your data at all or is the same as using a standard GSP? I seem to hit my data limit every month just don't want to push it over.
Thanks
Clinton

Yep, is using data.

Thanks, guess it wasn't a stupid question after all. That's interesting, guess I'll be using the GPS instead. Not much of a feature then is it.

It uses data, but not alot of it. I'd say about 1 mb for about an hour of driving, give or take.

I downloaded it from the market and it works for me.

[REQ] Videotron Illico

Videotron just released their 3G network in Quebec and it appears as if they'll have an Illico app that goes with their smartphones.
If anyone gets the N1 from them, PLEASE rip the app.
Thanks!

are you sure videotron are offering the N1?
Or did you mean if anyone is going to use their N1 on Videotron's network?

That also depends on how many services you have with them. It's that price if you have all 3 services, $42.50 if you have 2 services and so on.
Still waiting for someone to rip this!

Download on the right. You have to give your cell number for a text message to download it.
Enjoy!

thanks. pretty disappointed that this doesn't run on wifi. probably for authentication issues, but there are easy ways to get around that.

I doubt they will allow access from outside their own network to use it.
If you need to access to your ilico or any other source on your system use a slingbox.
you can get one for under 300$ and listen to any tv show on the road (if you have a good data plan) their app is great as well! and no monthly fee..
P.s. if you check future shop they are way too expensive...

i've got the apk, but i'm not sure if they embed the account info in each apk.

Upload it an we'll find out!

I know I'm bumping a very old thread, but thought I might help.

don`t work on a none videotron network

We have to use their ****ty network if we want to use this android app. What is this dumb company. If you have telus or bell you just load the app on the market and use it...

to send you text alerts for scores etc. (disable in settings)

Looks like it only works in the U.S.A.
Anyway to get around this?

when I tried to open it, it says can't connect to nfl mobile please establish a network connection first.
I am on att.
Edit- it works with wifi.

Sweet!!!! now if only my edge connection would hurry the hell up and download!

3g/3g+ works here! Not on wifi. Awesome find!

It doesn't work on WIFI. DAMN IT!!! Tried it twice got that error messsge.
OH HAPPY DAYS!!! NFL Mobile is is up and running!!!!!!

That's weird. I cannot get it to work on 3G...only wifi, which sucks because if I have a wifi signal generally I have access to a TV as well. This app is best for when you're out and about and want to follow games.
Oh well still very cool and thanks to those that made this work!

For those having problems getting this app to work on ATT via 3G:
open the app using wifi: navigate to the main page of the app(news and videos with the option to watch NFL network on the right)
Now, exit the app by hitting your Nexus home button: now go and shut off wifi: now go back to the app and all should now work via 3G.
These steps are working for me and I can now watch NFL network live via 3G. The important thing is to make sure and open the app with wifi activated, and leave it open while you switch to 3G.

amazing.. I'm sooo exited.
Got it. So we wont be billed, or charged or anything. I see the License Agreement right here.. Also does anyone have an APK to get this to work on the Droid X without paying for vcast? or will this APK work on the Droid X
I'm on T-mobile, but it's working on my Nexus One over Wifi and 3G both

Update on apk
Hey as far as I know this will work on any android phone (unlocked to all carriers), however live doesn't work on Evil's rom but, videos work. On my girls vibrant, live works and videos, going to test and see if it works on vanilla. If you are with Verizon and are trying to avoid getting charged via vcast I don't know if this will result in a bill or not.

This where i found it. So, read for yourself like I did and don't send me any pms asking me questions. I just found it that's all credit the dev.

[APP] Skype over 3g is here!

Not sure if this is posted yet.
I didn't make this app nor taking credit for making it. It is the Skype app hacked to work over 3G. Enjoy

Just saw this on Engadget.
Freakin sweat

But there is no video chat correct? I was able to sign in but I dont see a way to initiate video.

Thats awesome but how did they 'hack' an app?

If i am not mistaken, it should of been done by just allowing the permissions to be changed. Meaning that the app was told from the coding that it can only operate over wifi, but they changed that to allow it over any data connection.
Also, i downloaded this. I doubt ill ever use it, but its neat none the less. Tell me when we can do video chat, and ill be all up on that!

original skype is over wifi only.
this one can use 3g.

Should I uninstall the previous version before adding this or does it matter?

What's the point? Sprint = free mobile to mobile. Skype = what? free skype to skype maybe?

skype to skype is free all around the globe

Free Skype to Skype around the world and to users on any of its many platforms.

My wife has family and friends on Taiwan. With Skype, she calls them and chats with them. With this app, she could talk with them from her phone instead of being chained to her desktop.
Although she has a Vibrant, and Galaxy S phones aren't supported for some reason. She'll probably end up using my Evo.

It's probably a feature that will get turned on once more smartphones have front facing cameras.

I agree, though Fring used to have it through Skype. And Qik has it. You'd assume there is a huge market demand for it....
Let's hope very soon.

Thank you. Installed.

Is there a updated Skype over 3G app? I noticed the market place has some newer wifi only versions.

worthless, no video.

Skype with working video?

Hello Community,
is it possible to use skype with video on the GalaxyTab?
I read somethin that i would have to cook flash into a custom ROM and such; my english is quite bad and my cooking skills are even worse.
I was hoping you might be able to at least tell me if its possible - and if "yes", how?
Thanks!
Steve.

AFAIK, video on Skype isn't available for any device. Hopefully they'll update it soon for front facing cameras.

I Read somewhere that they will be releasing a version VERY soon with this. Perhaps during CES. Hopefully its not just on the Iphooey platform...

Why cant you make calls on 3g? only wifi in US.

I can make calls anywhere, no problem.
But my parents, sister, step-parents and grandparents do not have video-capable cellphones. Or their contracts do not include a data flatrate which would be necessary for video telephony.
That's why i was trying to use skype.
PS: I found a teaser here.

As I mentioned earlier;
http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/24/skype-finally-bringing-video-calling-to-mobile/
its for the Isheep... but hopefully we might get lucky. Sadly, this will be heavily carrier dependant. As long as they get a version out, I am confident the community here will get a working apk for any platform working and with 3G too.
I currently use Skype that has been hacked to work with 3G data (and even works with EDGE speeds). However, before Skype released their latest version, there were many apks that just didnt work. They either only worked for Skypeout in the US or was setup to work on particular networks. I am a happy camper now though. Just need a video app just like you do.
In the meantime, Tango is brilliant! I love it

Tango is a great alternative to any other app for face chatting.....granted, the quality of the video could use a bit of an improvement, but overall, best resource out there for us GTab owners

The problem with most of these alternative is the lack of desktop clients. When I travel for work, I'd quite like to use the Tab to keep in touch with the family, which really means I need either another Tab, or a desktop client.

ooVoo seems to have both tab & desktop client. i haven't tried it, because i hate to have to install yet another app to do another function that could have been provided by skype in the first place. maybe it is a good solution for short term until skype comes around and updates their software

I think I read somewhere Skype video calls are or will be available on the iphone. It's only a matter of time.
