[Q] Footprints Program - HTC Sensation

I know this sounds strange, but I really like the footprints program. Honestly, its one of the reasons, I stay with HTC. Anyway, in the users manual it says that it is included. It also tells you how to use it, but I cannot find these options anywhere on my phone. Are you also missing HTC Footprints program? Or do I just need to reset to get it back. Can someone tell me if you have footprints or not?
Thanks
Garrett

i had the same issue when i got my phone yesterday
turns out they have folded in footprints into 'Locations'
if you open up locations there is a slidebar at the bottom to go to Footprints
hope this helps!

Thanks for the response, where is locations? I hate to seem so dumb? But I still dont understand?

it is an app that comes pre-installed
look for 'Locations' in the application list
it has an icon that looks like a Red Pin sticking in a map.
If i helped please thank me --->

Maybe some magic will be worked after permanent root/bootloader is unlocked. Locations looks cool, and it makes me sad that Locations isn't on the US phone.
Keep your fingers crossed!

oh, that's a shame!
well look on the bright side, at least locations doesn't mess up your Calendar and Contacts integration with google maps!
now if i ever click on the location button in calendar it opens HTC Locations insted of google maps and it can never find the address i entered! It is terrible that i can't set google maps to do it instead

Wonder if its possible for somebody to pull it from a non us sensation now?

Anyone know why these programs keep auto starting?

I was wondering if anyone knows why these programs are auto starting. I closed them via advanced task killer and they keep coming back.
They are:
- messages: I use handcent. I don't use the stock one, and I turned off notifications and defaulted handcent as my text program.
- com.coremobility.app.vnotes: not sure what this is.
- Sprint navigation: I have gps turned off.
I get the same thing plus Google Voice, Voice Dialer, Voicemail I have Google Voice set to never be used I never use Voice Dialer, and Voicemail just pops up occasionally

Uh, if you will never use Google Voice, then why in the world is it installed?
hanscent works off of the stock apps cache, it cant keep threaded convos without the stock (crap) app.
core.mobility.app.vnotes is visual voicemail
sprint nav is a pain and could be trashed at any time for better efficiency. Unneeded for those with google maps installed, imo
I have google voice set to never be used but that doesn't mean I never use it
google maps has navigation?
Is there anyway I can keep them from opening until needed?

google maps has text, not voice navi...thats enough for me. Google Navigation will have full navigation with voice.
as far as an autokill, I'm not sure what can be done to stop them. In autostarts, it shows you what environments some processes start in, and some seem quite unrelated (Sprint Navi starts with sms received). I'd say get taskiller free and pluck them off whenever you notice the phone getting laggy
Alright. Thanks.
is there a better navi we can download ( besides google maps )
What about a better keyboard?
So I was determined to figure out how to disable these apps from autostarting and I just figured it out. Ha. Now I just need to see if I can make it run with the install of fresh rom or if it will be a separate thing. I'll let you all know when I get it figured out.

I'm not sure on the navi, all of them are pretty heavy on the memory. Sprint Navi is quality, it's just bloated, IMO. I don't travel alot so it's not a necessity to me.
keyboard- the best is better keyboard, it's a paid app but it's an upgrade from stock. I'm still on stock and with the added speed boost from .7, it seems alot more precise

^^ this much is true. My N1 feels complete now. Getting the word out and the apk to some ppl. This needs more exposure >;]
I just installed HiDialer, and it's something I've been looking for for a LONG time, but do you guys know what the two services running in the background are? One says "remote" and it makes me a bit uneasy.
Just installed HiDialer 1.50 on my rooted stock N1, gives me FC as soon as I try to search for a contact by pressing the key pad.
Also, it does not show contact images pulled from Facebook, only "local" images...

HiDialer is amazing, thanks for letting us know. By the way, I'm using 1.5 with no issues. I suggest uninstalling and reinstalling it .
Anyone knows the author/contact of HiDialer? I'd like to contact him for some additional functions. It'd be good if it's open-sourced.

Did you know that HiDialer doesn't have a single instance, it create multiple instances in the memory - this consumes useless RAM.
I strongly suggest everyone to use SpeechDial from The Market.
Try SpellDial from the market. Quick. Easy.

Beautiful Widgets 3.0.1

Any way to get this in scandinavia? Its only available through market, and i cant access the paid apps sections from Norway
It has some big updates from last version, and i want it realy bad.
try to contact the developer
It's now running at v3.02, although to be fair I can't see any difference between this and the previous v3.01.... purely fix's one would assume.
The only thing which annoys me is each time it's updated it kills my settings and you have to go through the whole procedure again... i.e. Location, Clock skin, Weather Skin, and all other manner of boxes to tick/configure.
Why it does not draw from previous info beats me.... but I suppose that's the downside in a widget.

Not being able to purchase items really infuriates me.
Developers harp on (rightly so though) about supporting them and not falling foul to piracy but when you come up against stumbling blocks such as this it's no wonder certain titles get pirated.
Now I do not condone any form of piracy FULL STOP but in your case if the developer will not offer you the chance to pay other than the Market and you can not obtain it legally through pay sources then a search would 'possibly' bring up a pirated version.
I tell you this NOT to entice you to do this but because a Google search does list it as available.
What you do with it is entirely up to you..........
Thanks for all the tips

The only time Beautiful Widgets didn't save my settings was after a major version upgrade (like updating from 2.x to 3.0). All other updates carried over my settings perfectly.

Yes, you are quite right. It was the transition from version 2 to 3 which caused the problem.
Not sure what I thinking of at the time.

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..

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.

Predictive dialing for android

Guys, is there a program that gives me predictive dialing for the android? I have Froyo.
I found Dial one or something like that and it works fine, BUT, there is a formatting problem and it puts the persons name on TOP of the date last called and all that and it makes it harder to read, AND looks ****ty!
I'm also using a program that makes my fonts bigger which might be interfering but normally, it doesn't.
THanks

Tried TakePhone yet? 30 day trial if you get it from his website, shsh.com, then buy it from him direct or from the market.
Thanks
I don't see anything about predictive dialing but I can give it a try.
If I get it from his site, how do I install it on the nexus?
Thanks
George
You could also try TouchPal dialer free from the Market. It's got predictive dialing and is a bit more speedy than DialerOne.
I remember I loved this on my T-Mobile Wing. I could type in 323 and dad would come up.
Nowadays, I just use the search button in the dialer to find the contact in question. Just type their name out haha.
It's bull****! You'd think that on a 700 dollar phone, this would be standard
THanks by the way, I'll try the latest suggestion.

Hey, unlike all the other idiots, at least I'm aware of it. Makes me smarter then doesn't it?
I will give it a shot and I will most certainly screw it up so I'll be back soon
my droid incredible does this out of the box...
Well, I think that's common sense and the sad thing is, some HTC phones have it and some don't. Makes no damn sense at all.
I had it on an HTC three years ago
What about the option of having LARGE fonts? Large enough for ol' farts like me?
NOthing. Gotta pimp my $hit to get apps on there to do it. Damn embarrassment to techs all over the world. They make a phone that can make coffee but they can't even figure out the simplest of things like hey, use the WHOLE screen for stuff, hey, have an option for large fonts, large icons, less space between icons and options for a large clock..
I think they're all idiots and that's my final answer!

That's because you've spelled it wrong. It's TOUCHPAL, not touchpad. It's free in the market, works great in English and Chinese, and is a lot speedier than DialerOne, but has all the same features.

Youlu is faster than DialerOne but there are 3 things I'm missing here:
1. There is no * on the dial pad. I didn't find an option to call to phone number *1234.
2. With DialerOne I have shortcut to the call log screen and it appears with dial pad. I can start searching (T9 style) right away. In Youlu there are different tabs/screens for dial pad, calls log, contacts and favorites. If I use shortcut to calls log I have to do extra click for dial pad
3. In DialerOne there are few places you can press on a single line on calls log screen: 1. direct call, 2. calls log of specific contact, 3. mini-menu to dial, sms, face, mail to the contact or open contact details. It's less options in Youlu: direct call to the number or calls log of the specific contact (like if you got 3 calls from him and return one back)
I'm still wondering what best for me.
