Description
The main purpose of the app is to make it simple for you when you:
* Need to ask someone for a ride and that "someone" is not bright enough to follow your directions.
* Have a date planned and your date has trouble locating you.
* You simply want to share your whereabouts.
* Are asked where you are and it's easier to show on a map.
Your location can be shared using SMS, Facebook or Email.
Anyway, I'd appreciate it alot if you could take some time to test it and/or let me know what you think of the idea.
If you choose to share your location through SMS you don't need an Internet Connection.

My questions are:
* Does the app work as you expect
* Is the idea good/bad?
* Is the app easy enough to be used.
I have loads of improvments planned, but I prefer waiting with those until I see there's a demand for
this app.
Requirements/Permissions
* GPS
Thank you for your time and feedback

Funny.. sometimes it's the simplest ideas that makes the best apps.
Danke

You're quite right

Thanks for taking the time to check it out, I appreciate it
I actually made it cause I got sick of trying to explain where I am to my wife I wanted to make it as simple as possible with as little requirements as possible.
Feedback anyone?

I've just made some changes:
When clicking the link you'll go straight to a page showing the map. The page is a bit different looking depending on type of browser used (mobile or desktop).
For reference, you may try this:
http://www.droidstop.org/l1.php/52.4768/-0.9126/Here I am
The reason for hosting the map on my own page is that the urls to google maps won't be parsed correctly in SMS messages, and you won't end up at the correct spot in google maps.
As the few of you who have tested it know, there's no need for an internet connection when sharing by SMS, I'm now thinking of adding these features (which would in turn require internet connection)
* Making the location url easy to remember so you're able to call someone and tell them verbally (something along the lines of droidstop.org/tri897)
* Adding more sharing options, such as twitter and a couple of popular messenger softwares.
* Perhaps have a "simple mode" option, which could work in offline mode. Have to think about that.
Anyone else has more suggestions?
Thanks for taking your time to read

New release out now:
* Friendly Urls (For example: http://www.droidstop.org/ELY070)
Each location you generate will get it's own unique, easy to remember URL.
(Having the friendly url option on, will require internet connection though)
* Share by twitter
* A new settings dialog.
Suggestions, feature requests and bug reports are still welcome, so give it a try.
Permissions required for update
* gps (location_fine)
* Internet
Thanks again

Just had a quick go, and it seems to work fine for me. Well done.
I have just one feature request. Would it be possible to get a history list of some kind to help me remember old locations?
Otherwise, looking real good.

New release published.
News:
- Share your location using any Installed app capable of sharing.
- Scrollable layout, for devices with smaller screens.
@androidvideo, history can be accessed from the options menu, and was implemented in the previous release...

Thanks, I appreciate it, be sure to send me a link to the review if you ever get it to work
There's an update coming within just a couple of days that can fetch your location based on network instead of GPS, that might fix the issue temporarily.
Cheers

Actually I decided to release a quick-fix.
Version 1.28
- Use WIFI for positioning if GPS is not enabled
- Opens Positioning settings if none is available
- Version Code shows correctly in splash screen
Permissions required
Internet
Access network state
GPS Positioning
Network Positioning
Cheers

really useful

very nice app!!!

Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it.
I have some great plans for this app, keep an eye out for following updates
Cheers

Version 1.29 has just been released.
To make it even more useful, your current address is shown on the shared map.
Also the map pages has been redesigned.
Hope you like it,
Cheers

very useful and funny app

Simple Idea with good implementation, thank for your sharing

Thanks for the input guys, I appreciate it enormously
I've just released 1.3.
Completely redesigned, and I've put a lot of preparations in it to fit my plans for world domination
You may notice that it asks for a username/password and it can perhaps seem unnecessary but it's required as I need users to be able to sign in using a web interface very soon. (Don't worry, all you need to fill in is username and password, and an email address (doesn't even have to be a valid one for now))
This also means you can sign in on another device to share a location. In the next release you'll start notice more useful areas for this app.
Thanks for reading
Cheers

Can't seem to get it to run on my Motorola Atrix running CM7. App opens, i enable GPS, click the locate me now button and then the loading window pops up but never goes anywhere. Just stays loading.
Would love to use this app.
Hope this helps.

@j-roc, hmm thats strange.. If you turn off GPS, does it work using Network based location?
I just got my hands on a few devices for testing, I'll see if I can reproduce your issue in one of those. Thanks for reporting it!

[Live Wallpaper] Advanced Map (Updated 4/08/10)

I'm pleased to announce the release of the Advanced Map Live Wallpaper, which allows you to show your position on a variety of maps on the homescreen.
Features:
* Wide selection of maps (Ordnance Survey, Google, Satellite, Terrain, Bing, OpenStreetMap, USA VFR and IFR charts...)
* Battery friendly - it uses network locations and shuts down whenever the homescreen isn't visible.
* Data friendly - aggressive caching means that you should only need to download a map tile once.
* Variable zoom on all maps
* Accuracy circle (can be switched off)
It's partly based on my original OS Map application, and draws on code from the open-sourced Rmaps2 and the AndNav library. Consequently, this application is also open-source, with the source available as soon as I've figured out how to use the Google Code repository (or you have have it as a ZIP file by email).
Notes:
This is a BETA release. I'd appreciate it if you could post any problems in this thread instead of leaving a low rating on the app. Ordnance Survey maps won't work outside the UK.
Right now, if you turn GPS on, you may need to select another wallpaper before it'll turn off again. You might also need to turn "Refresh Position" on in the settings page, which will be fixed in the next update.
Finally, I apologise to whoever's house is in the screenshots since I picked a location at random!

}
Update (14/06/10):
New version (0.9.3) uploaded. Minor cache fixed, force-close issue *hopefully* fixed, some general tidying up in the source. If it force-closes for you, try clearing the application data. Alternatively, enter the settings page, choose a different map type, and it should work. You can change the map type again after that. Hopefully resolved now I've remembered to close the database... ;-)
For those who can't find it, it's available to download here. You'll have to check for updates manually, I'm afraid, and if you keep an eye on the Market it should turn up eventually.
Update (16/06/10):
New version (0.9.4) uploaded. Fixes include landscape support and the really irritating bug where it would forget to load map tiles should now be gone.
Get it here (if you can find it on the Market, I strongly recommend downloading it from there instead):
http://maps.androidgamer.org/wallpaper/release/Advanced_Map_201006161712.apk
Update (5/07/10):
Version 0.9.5 uploaded to Market. Only major change is the addition of the Hike and Bike map as requested by a user. It should show up as an update on Froyo.
Also discovered the reason why it's not showing in the Market for Droid users - turns out that they don't respect the "Live Wallpaper" filter and won't show apps with that enabled in the Manifest.
Out of curiosity, is anyone still encountering problems with either the wallpaper itself, or finding it in the Market?
Update (4/08/10):
Version 1.0 uploaded to the Market. Major changes include the addition of Google Traffic and smooth scrolling between home-screens. (I hope you appreciate that, it took AGES to implement...) ;-)
There's an issue with force-closing on some phones which I haven't been able to resolve - no one has replied to my request to run Log Collector, and without a log I can't fix the problem. The Android Market is supposed to show crash reports, but doesn't.
Donations:
I've never been keen on asking for money, but there is a "donate" version to the Market. It's identical to the current release (which will always remain free) but it would be great to get a bit of reward for the hard work that goes into writing a Live Wallpaper.
It's only £1 and donations provide an excellent motivation for bug fixes and new feature requests. If you have the normal version, you'll find a donate link in the settings page.
Looks good, gonna try it out.
awesome
hmm interesting will try it for sure!
Even with the battery saving features, I can't imagine this not being a battery hog...
Wow, this is awesome. Thanks!
It would be really cool if we could get an overlay like: greenchairpress .com/blog/?p=1392 working. It's cool having maps, but it's not something I see myself using day to day. If there was a map alternative that was a bit more stylized that would be rad.
looks good. Just installed it. will let you know.
Not showing up on the market for me
alexland - is it possible to browse Bing Maps in that style, or does the Microsoft server have to render each mini-map on request? If it's possible to just get the tiles, in theory it should be possible to have it on the homescreen.

Me either. Bummer.
The accuracy circle bothered me on the other map wallpaper, thanks for letting us disable it. Are there plans to enable panning, or was that left out in favor of battery life?
Sick man. Thanks
Can't find it on the market either.
German Milestone from O² here...
Also, could you maybe add VFR/IFR maps for Europe in the future? Since I'm in aviation this would definately make it a wallpaper to keep =P
Thx in advance and before even having tried it,

Not showing up on market, USA T-Mo here.

As I mentioned earlier, no Market here. Nexus One, 2.1.
found on market, thanks... will give a try!
Clearly something is up, there are lots of us unable to find it in the market. I learned about this app on an Android site and the one and only comment to the article was someone saying that they could not locate it either.
This looks like a great app, but I can't find it in the market either when I scan the QR code.
I have a Sprint hero on 2.1
ok, so, i think this only shows up on froyo. I was running cyanogen 5.0.7 (2.1) on my nexus one and it wasn't showing up. Then I restored to a nandroid of froyo (2.2) I had and searched for it, and sure enough it showed up, also, the screenshots in the thread are froyo, or at least look like it, so that also leads me to the conclusion its froyo market only

[App] PinDroid - Pinboard Bookmarks for Android

With the news of the impending doom of Delicious, I decided to switch both my own bookmarks and my development efforts over to Pinboard. PinDroid is a port of DeliciousDroid, an Android client app for Delicious that I was working on. Not all of the features have been ported over (mostly due to some api deficiencies), but basic bookmark syncing and CRUD (create, read, update, delete) functions are working.
Features
Background sync for bookmarks and tags
Bookmarks are cached to allow offline viewing and to reduce network traffic
Accounts managed through Android's built-in account manager
Bookmarks can be added in several ways:
A menu in the app
Directly from the browser via the "Share" menu
Bookmarks can be edited by long pressing and choosing "Edit"
Bookmark details can be viewed by long pressing and choosing "View Details"
Bookmarks can be deleted by long pressing and choosing "Delete"
Bookmark titles, tags and notes are searchable from both the global search and from within the app
Home screen widget and live folders
Code is licensed under the GPL v3 and is available on Github
Note: Requires Android 2.x (API Level 5+). Android 1.5 and 1.6 are not and will not be supported.
Known Issues
These are some of the known issues in the current build of PinDroid. Feel free to open an issue on the Google code project site if you encounter a bug/issue not listed here, or have an idea for an enhancement.
Only a single Pinboard account is currently supported.
Certain features from DeliciousDroid have not been ported yet due to limitations in Pinboard's API, including contact syncing and viewing network and popular bookmark lists.

Thanks for this great app!
Pinboard fits my bookmarking needs just right and PinDroid is the most wonderful companion imaginable!
Thanks for being such a fast moving developer and keep up your great work!

No problem. Just wanted to make something that I would want to use. If other people find it useful too, so much the better
Be sure to let me know if you find any bugs or have any suggestions.
Hi.
Since the latest market update pindroid is not fetching the article description as it was before.
This is when I use the share page > pindroid setting in stock browser.
Cheers.

Thanks. I'll look in to that. Do you have an example of a page it wasn't working on?
Any page I try. It was working, I guess up until the update. I've uninstalled it and then reinstalled but it doesn't seem to be working.
If it helps? Im on an HTC desire running oxygen 2 rom.

Seems to be working fine for me. I didn't change anything related to the title fetch recently, but two versions ago, I changed what field gets focus when you enter the add bookmark screen. Instead of the url field getting focus immediately, now no fields get focus so the keyboard doesn't pop up unnecessarily. The trigger for the title fetch is when the url field loses focus, so if you never click in to the url field and then click in to another field, it will never trigger the title fetch. I thought I had something in there to force it to start as soon as you enter that screen if the url is already filled, but I guess I'll have to add that.
Anyways, try that and see if that's the issue: share a page, click the url field to focus it, then click into a different field to trigger the title fetch. If that's it then I'll push out an update later today that triggers it immediately instead.
Ah yes that works as you said but i have to have to click the URL field first. I usually would have just clicked on the tags field as there was no reason to edit the URL field.
Thanks for the help.
I've noticed another change and I'm not sure whether its intentional or not but when I used to save a bookmark this way I got a little pop up visual confirmation saying that the bookmark added was successful / unsuccessful. This doesn't seem to happen anymore. I thought it was really useful.
Thanks for your hard work by the way. This is a great app and is essential pinboard compliment.

I just pushed a new version with the title fetch fix. Thanks for the bug report.
In the last version I made some changes to the bookmark saving process to make it a little more streamlined. Instead of blocking while the server request is made, the save bookmark activity now runs that in the background and returns immediately after updating the internal database. If you see nothing, everything worked fine. If there was an error, you'll get a notification in the notification bar telling you there was an error. Clicking on the notification lets you try to save it again, or revert the changes to the database (to keep everything consistent). The goal is just to make everything more seamless.
Ah yes the new notification system is a better idea than what you had before.
Thanks very much for the update/fix. Its very kind of you. I can confirm its working great.

[Question] - Android screen video capture?
Done anyone know of any suitable way to capture video of running app on android device?
I've tried several
Capture apps (none reliable though, one said it was taking view, but did not store it, another was unable to start the service). BTW on a rooted dev.
Moto webtop (this really sucks @ 5fps)!!
Thinking about getting a phone grip, putting camcorder on stand over my shoulder and do the job. But what about screen glare from the phone? Anyone had any experience with these?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.roundere
does it support coupons in asia ?
@ aquaphx if you're interested we can certainly do it.
Tell you the truth we have the basic framework, just a few more lines of code and some testing would get it there.
would you be interested?
I've tried screencast http://code.google.com/p/androidscreencast/, must say its impressive effort and in the right direction. Easy to use and developer clearly sets expectations.
For my purpose i need higher FPS, hence I'm headed out to walmart to get a phone grip and will use my old camcorder, not sure if outcome will be as impressive, but another hour of trial & error, will post results as once I'm done.
Check out the demo video @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF0Sv8GI7Lg
First shot @ it, but turned it ok,
Equipments used
- video camera
- tripod
- white gift box turned
- kiddie table
- tape
Change display settings on the phone to never timeout and set display brightness to manual (max it out).
point the camcorder straight down, tape the back of the phone to gift box, tape the gift box to a kiddie table. Point and focus your camera down to the phone. Found manual focus helps, since screen display changes can trigger auto focus. And make sue to use 'one finger' -- haha.
Time spent 1 hour and 30 minutes to everything, including adding Music track (credits in youtube video). Could improve with more editing and some additional lights.

We know how exactly that can be - from my location see only 5-6 PoI's total, I have to pan the map quite a bit to get interesting stuff.
BTW what kind of PoI would you be interested in? Name of any local stuff would help us get that data.
Updated from 1.0.4 to 1.5. I have been putting it off because the last version were working fine. Well, I got to say 1.5.0 is awesome. I am still running Samsung galaxy 1 with 2.1 and the performance of panning the map is much smoother now. I got to love the coupon tags sticking out of Target and Best Buy. Now more reasons for me to buy gadgets I might not ever need . Good job guys !
db
@db thks. would recommend turning on auto updates on the app. please do rate us as well.
R u able to see more data?
Yes, I see there are a lot of local restaurants added in my area which is great. I love the fact that now when I click on an unknown place, your app automatically do a quick search on the web and display review information. No more having to exit the app and text up on google search. Love it.
I am going out of town this weekend, so i will be using this a lot.

don't forget to show us some love -- rate the app favorably on market (if that's where you installed it from). let us know if you have a feature request, maybe we can name the feature after you
F8, Beta crashed on me last night. emailed you the log. Went back to 1.5 release.
Carlos,
Looking at the stack now. Do you remember which area of the map you were in when this happened? This can't happen unless our data is bad or during downloading the data got corrupted.
F8
quick update on data
* Added more pubs and bars
* even more night life spots
* some regional chains
If you can't see new categories, you may have to clear your data cache .
Updated with 1.5.1 : minor bug fixes.
If you have 4.0 phone there is
an outstanding issue on Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.x phones http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=19857 is really Android framework issue.
f8
I did a complete uninstall of 1.5 official first then put in the beta, now it is working. So I am thinking upgrading to the beta directly isn't working. I will let you know if I run into other problem while testing this beta out.

When i tried to download this from the Play Store it said my device (HTC One X) was incompatible. I have installed the APK directly and it works perfectly!! Post below if you find its working for you too!!
EDIT: If you want the latest updates you need to download and install market enabler (will add apk in a sec), change country to t-mobile (us) and in Play store hit menu -> settings -> my apps, and there should be an option to update nike+.
Market Enabler- APK Link
OP updated with APK download!!
once i went into settings in the app it crashes and wont come back untill i reset data on app. probably because my DPI is changed to 241 instead of stock 320 :/ no nike runnning for me... yet
Seems to be working fine on my Arc. Will go for a run later to confirm!
Thanks for uploading.

Don't work on my galaxy nexus...
I have it, and happily using it on my samsung Galaxy Note, with ICS.
However, I just recently noticed that it has been eating up my battery, even when I am done using it. According to ICS battery consumption, it is on top of the list, and even eating up greater power than the screen.
So , how do I properly shut this app down, including its background processes after using it?
does anyone have the latest 1.0.2 apk for this with stability fixes? In the UK only O2 customers can get this app until the end of the year

Works fine on my Galaxy Nexus (GSM).
I'm running Jellybean 4.1.1 and am on T-Mobile in the UK, oh and i've rooted the phone.
1.0.2 APK request...
Many thanks for this post but would heartily echo the sentiment asking if anyone has access to the 1.0.2 APK and would be willing to share...
Many thanks,

If you want the latest updates. Get market enabler (apk added to OP), change country to t-mobile (us) and hit menu -> settings -> my apps, and there should be an option to update nike+. It worked for me anyway, if you get stuck let me know and ill try and get the 1.0.2 apk
Hi, I don't have root access on my one x. I don't want to void the warranty. Market enabler won't work for me. Please upload apk?
I mean the latest Nike running apk before I confuse anyone. search on google to find it 1mobile dot com
nike+ app

[APP][2.0+]Phonechievements

Phonechievements is back
Phonechievements (latest version 1.35)
About
Phonechievements brings achievements to the mobile phone. For those who are gamers the concept isn't new, for those who are not, achievements are just rewards you get for accomplishing a goal. You don't get an actual prize, it's just a form of reward that you get in writing. Moreover, this app allows you to brag on Facebook with them (for now).
Open the app and navigate through the list. Each achievement has a description on how you can unlock it. Want to let everyone know how you master the phone? Share on Facebook the unlocked achievements. Just open the app and go to the achievement and a Facebook logo button will allow you to do that.
With each update new features and of course new phonechievements will be added.
If you like the idea and want to help me improve or have any suggestions for new achievements, please check it out.
The app is available for Android 2.0+. If you find any issues please let me know so I can fix them.
Thank you.

More than 70 unlockable achievements in 6 categories (more to come)
Share unlocked achievements on Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus
Show/hide unlocked achievements
Statusbar notification on phonechievement unlocked
Possibility to hide individual achievements
Option to switch GPS query ON/OFF (if you keep GPS on from android settings the you most probably want tot keep it OFF in the app)
Sync your profile online (check what you have synced on http://phonechievements.com/profile/yourchosennickname/) - for now an ugly 10 minutes of code website will appear. The nice one is under construction. This is just for checking purposes
Share online profile with most of the sharing apps installed
Profile forum signature:
E.g.:
Code:
[PLAIN][URL="http://phonechievements.com/profile/Nightfly89/"][IMG]http://phonechievements.com/profile/Nightfly89/sign/[/IMG][/URL][/PLAIN]
Social
Follow on Facebook
IMPORTANT
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU ALWAYS USE THE SYNC OPTION BEFORE DOING AN UPDATE AND ALSO ON A REGULAR BASIS. AFTER YOU UPDATED THE APP IF YOU EXPERIENCE LOSS OF STATS OR ACHIEVEMENTS USE THE SYNC OPTION AGAIN TO RECOVER THEM FROM THE SYNC SERVER

Cool app!
I downloaded it and it's cool, always went for trophies on games and used to brag about them to friends
Lol @ phoneception achievement
Also, can you give the app an ICS/JB theme for GB users? Thanks in advance!

Sounds interesting
This sounds like a lot of fun. I'll definitely try it out.
This is an awesome idea. Installing now.
Love the idea, installed it, shared it. I really love this idea.
Thank you guys. Please let me know if there's any crash or any problem with the app. I see there's a general request for a JellyBean / ICS theme therefore I will be working on this alongside with the new features and achievements. The theme should be out soon so stay tuned. In the meantime enjoy the achievements and if you think of some new ones, please let me know and you could see them in the app.
Also I would appreciate some feedback regarding battery usage, memory usage and stuff like that. I got to test it on some friend's phones while on BETA and it was reported as ok, but the more data the better.
Thank you.
A friends list would make this epic... a way to compare your lists with people you know

Yes. That would definitely make it better. I added this to the TODO list... quite on top. This will be available on a unique username base and you would be able to add friends using their username. Also a profile webpage would display all your unlocked achievements and as you said allow you to compare with other users you know or share your profile link anywhere you want.
Can we change the "Oops, I did it again"? Lol

New version published on Google Play
Just published a new update on GPlay. Give it some time to actually get it.
What's New:
* Added three new Phonechievements: Well Informed (Apps), I Always Take The Bus (Power Wizard), The Alternative Approach (Power Wizard)
* Minor bug fixes
* Battery usage reduced
Work in progress:
* Just started implementing the Twitter integration (a share button will be available next to the Facebook one).
* Another thing I started working on is a profile webpage. You will be able to choose a username and get a unique profile URL to share with your friends... and brag . Also a compare tool will be available so you can show your frinds that you have more phonechievements
* This is just the beginning as this webpage could easily be developed and improved. The way you will be able to update your profile is either automatically (setting) or manually.
* I also got a lot of complains about battery draining when GPS is on. I know what the problem is and it will be fixed in tomorrow's update
* AND THE BIG ONE COMING IN TOMORROW'S UPDATE: RandomChievements : The are phonechievements, yes they are ... but a little special. They are inactive most of the time, meaning you can't unlock them even if you accomplish the goal (by accident ). They become active randomly, at any time. You will get a notification that the randomchievement has become active. From that moment on you have a random amount of time to complete it. Sometimes it might be almost impossible to do it. But if you miss it , there's no worry, it will get active some other time. Randomly, of course. The only known fact is that it can not tell you to unlock it in less than 15 minutes. This is the lower limit. The upper limit is 6 hours. There will be a new category called Randomchievements where this new type of phonechievement will take its rest.
Last but not least... if you experience any issues , crashes , please report them so I can try and fix the issues.
Thank you.
P.S.

Do you have a suggestion ? Anyway.. I am considering this change for next version
You should add some sort of badge system - like with foursquare! But great idea - installed it now : )

This will be added in the future, when the profile website will be available.

Oh - and maybe some sort of friendsystem or social integration?
Edit: Nevermind... Saw your post now
New thing though - You should hide what makes the achievement unlock - and only show descriptions, so that the exploring is more fun!
The update keeps crashing for me. Going to bed, I'll get more info out tomorrow if I can.

I turned on the app at my house and almost got the first altitude achievement! Haha, love this app, such a simple idea that I am sure was a pain to program! I love all the devs that put everything into their apps for me to enjoy!
