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.

[Q] Zinio Issues

Got Zinio working on the Galaxy tab and downloaded the latest issue of Rolling Stone. I can read the mag in text mode but the full visual mode is showing blank screens. Anyone else having this issue?

I don't know about this particular issue, but it seems that the content being pushed to the Android Zinio client is not the same as the one available online. There is a clear disclaimer in the apps' FAQ about Zinio content currently being converted to meet the requirements of the phone app. That's why there are books and magazines missing in my Android library, compared to what I can read online or using the desktop application.

How do you get it in Text mode? I did find that double-tapping the blank screen, or using two fingers to stretch to "zoom in" will reveal the image properly. Just a little zoomed in. Still a hassle.

When you tap the screen you will see a box on the bottom of the screen with straight white lines. Click on that, it will change to text mode.

Can someone post the zinio app I seem to have messed mine up
edit got it working

Would anyone mind posting a link to a working APK please? Tried the one from here but Zinio freezes on downloading the mag. Read that there is a new version that Zinio pushed right after the Tab release but can't find it for the life of me.
Thanks in advance.

Seems that that's the one you are searching for Zinio

i get the same thing, when you zoom in...even a little it shows the magazine in its full glory...
still its useless if you cant keep swiping to see the screen and you haev to pinch to zoom in a little for the magazine to show...pretty disappointing.
I wanted to use my tab a lot for this and the Ipad one works fine...kind of a deal breaker

Same here. ! I think we all confused !! Why Zinio is not showing up on US first but in others country. I thought Zinio is biggest US online megazine. @@ !!

*BUMP*
Has anyone gotten this to work on the Tab properly? - i.e. full screen

If you have the Beta version I was having same problem. Found the full version of Readers Hub here somewhere pulled from the latest JMA firmware I believe. The problem I am having is that the region seems to be set to where ever this Hub was pulled from dont have access to all us magazines in Zinio. Works fine for Press Reader and Kobo but no go on Zinio.
Anyone know how to hcnage region on Zinio?

Here are the files I used. Still can not change region. Any ideas?

Are you able to get full screen magazine images? Even with the apk you linked to, I canonly see the image if I zoom in.

Js4tda, Thanks Man. Copied this over to the /system/app. Fixed the Zinio issues. I can now flip pages from the image view and don't have to do the zoom out thing any more.

All I did was rename the Readerhub and Zinio .apk to .bak in /system/app. Then copied over the new apk's and set permissions.

Thanks for the help. I needed to uninstall all the old versions then install the ones posted by js4tda.

Thank you so much! I've finally got all three programs of the Readers Hub working as intended!
I am on the US T-Mo Tab and just uninstalled old versions and installed the new files from this post.

google play search position

is anybody else having issues scrolling through the google play store. Whenever i search for something and then scroll through the search results and select an app, when i click the back button, the scroll bar goes all the way to the top and i have to scroll back down to see where i left off. It is basically not remembering my last postion when i hit the back button. It had been working well all this time until today.

Searching for name of alternative sidebar app

Hey guys,
hope this is the right forum.
I am searching for the name of an app, which is quite similar to the Sidebar (Pro) app. And by searching I mean I know that this app exists but I just forgot what the name was.
It installs a sidebar on the left/right side of the screen with a list of categories with every app you have installed inside. Afterwards you could put the apps in different categories and as far as I remember you could not create custom categories (at least at that time I was using the app).
I really hope someone knows the app I'm talking about.

There are a bunch of apps on the play store that add sidebars. Apart form the one you mentioned, here are a few- Swapps, Glovebox, Unity launcher. Hope this helps :good:

Unfortunately no those named are not the one. And yea I know there are alot but its quite hard to just search with "sidebar" :/
Edit: Alright I found it under "My apps" in the play store haha.
For those interested its called ReLaunch https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fiveprimes.relaunch

You can install a launcher i think. They are faster with their sidebars.

been running it since launch, you need to install the lib files to resolve any force closes

Would you mind elaborating a bit more For us not so advanced users on what we need to do please. I, and I'm sure others would be very appreciative.

I tried it and it's party laggy for me.

This along with side loading the hangout app makes it possible to just about have 4.4 from a ui point of view. I get random battery drain from android os or services but its never terrible and always stops after a reboot. In also running cm. Oh and the search by "OK Google" would always fc on me regardless of using the UK English work around.

Tried it when it just came out. Google Search FC everytime I try to search with voice even after the aformentioned lib fix. Have yet to try with P.A.C. ROM which I flashed just a few days ago.
Also modifies Google Search system wide, so if you use Google Search in Nova or other launchers it would take you to the Google Expereince launcher, which kinda sucks because you get this very noticable lag getting to Search.
Otherwise, its nice, but crashes occasionally, would be sticking to Nova Prime.

Never mind, I feel like a moron I figured out how to get everything to work perfect except for the wallpaper. For all of those wanting search and everything else to work, you need to move the appropriate lib files into the system/lib folder like mentioned above. There is a post on this forum for the nexus 7 I think, that has all the apps, lib files, and font files all for download in zip format. To make the launcher work properly and the apps, you just need to be rooted and more the appropriate lib files over.
