Android :: Saving Waypoints / Favorites In Navigation
Apr 24, 2010
I was one of the lucky few who accidentally received their HTC Incredible units early. To those eagerly waiting you will not be disappointed. This thing rocks. I've been to two Verizon stores and all of the employees were lusting after it.The Navigation is also "incredible" with the exception of not being able to save waypoints. With typical GPS stand-alone units, this is easily accomplished, but not with Android 2.1. Furthermore, coordinates cannot be put in, only addresses. Has anyone had any luck with some of the widgets available to perform these functions? For those of us who hunt or off-road, not every destination has a street address.

I am looking for a very good app on android mark that will allow me to view video podcast such as phonedog and Geekbrief, gadget pron and a few others that I religiously watched from my ipod touch on a nightly basis. Of course the touch had itunes which was great, the only thing it lacked was being able to save your favorites without downloading them. I know they have a few things out there on android market that seem to do this, looking for the easiest and the best.

I actually noticed this on V2 leak as well when I set up my favorites list, and then select that person for the first time, I'm prompted to set up a default action - that default is never saved, and I have to repeat those steps in order to dial a number - anyone have this problem? Is there a step I'm missing?

Is there a way to save addresses in google maps like favorites for navigation? I have a lot of places I go back to and would like to have them saved in but I can't figure out how to save the address. I have a Droid X if that matters.

How to use Google Maps API to display a route based on a array of waypoints.
I just got some code to display a line between two points, but, i need to display a route like when you are using GPS to drive... so the lines need to follow waypoints/streets.

Can anyone confirm if Google Navigation can be used to just show your progress/location on a road while driving, without having to have an actual destination input?I know this was shown on a few of Rob's videos as not being possible, but just wanted to confirm if anyone had any further info on it.

What is difference between "Navigation" and "Sprint Navigation" apps?Newby to the smart phone, and am still trying to understand this "app" stuff.The "Navigation" app is a blue arrow, and is the one I use for map and voice navigation.The "Sprint Navigation" app seems to do the same thing in a much more belabored manner.Are these both Sprint, or what?Why two similar apps?Is one supposed to do something that the other doesn't. I don't get it.

I like the UI much better for launcher pro but I do miss some sense widgets like favorites. With launcher pro, I have to keep going through my phonebook or recent calls list to try to find people. It does get tedious. Is there any app/widget that is similar to the sense favorites?

I would like to add a favorites star like the one in the contacts list on android. Is there any way we can get that star or will I have to write my own? I can't seem to find any standard GUI Elements from android other than the options menu icons. Are there any more that I have not found?

I am developing an Android application where you should be able to browse restaurants.
Im retrieving the information about the restaurants from a service, they are not stored locally on the device. But I want to allow the user to add a restaurant to his/her favorites.
What is the "best" way to store that kind of info on the device? Should I use Shared Preferences or Sqlite db? Or any other suggestions?

I have looked around a couple forums trying to find an app or process that will allow me a way to select a particular group of contacts as a favorites widget. It would be great if I could have my work contacts as one widget on one screen and my personal favorites on another. I also tried to put the work group into the favorites widget without success. I am one of those people that has several different "scenes" customized depending on where i am and what I'm doing. The current widget just doesn't work for what I need. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have used the bettercut app to make shortcuts to individual contacts, but that is not really what I'm looking for.

newb to android - I have 300+ contacts but really use about 10 or so 90% of the time. I have these 10 as favorites - is there a way to have the favorites open first when I click People? I know it's not that big of a deal but it would eliminate one step.

For the favorites widget, is it possible to have just the phone numbers associated with the favorite person pop up as an option. I know you can set the thing to pop up all of the contact info or one number or an email or whatever, but it doesn't really work well for driving. I'd like to tap the person and have a list of their phone numbers show up from which, one can be selected and dialed. Is there another app or widget that might do this?

I have one GMail account synced to my EVO. When I open up 'People' all my contacts I added through GMail are there. Looks great.
However, when I go to the Favorites widget and click + to add a contact to the widget, I get a list of pretty much everyone I've ever sent an email to through my GMail account. I only want my real contacts to show up there, I don't need the dude listed there that I sold my blender to on Craigslist from 5 years ago.

So i was having issue with my favorites disappearing. It was a pain with my Favorite People widget.It has to do with your sync. To fix it, you have to go to the gmail website and add your favorites to the website. If you don't it will keep syncing your favorites with the site, thus the disappearing. I would think it should be a 2 way sync, but I guess not. Either that or this is a syncing bug

I love shopping on the Android market for great apps =) share with us your favorite apps on this thread =) Mine:Credit to androidforum for many of these app suggestions. See here: Helpful Links and Info for Motorola Droid Users My favorite Droid apps (3 tiers):
Tier 1: On my home screen (most useful/most potential):
Gdocs notepad (syncs with google docs, others use ak notepad)
Gtasks (syncs with google tasks on gmail)
LockPattern OnOff (careful, don't forget your pattern, can brick your droid this way - google login to override pattern lock does not work on some droids including mine. Hopefully they'll fix this soon)
Shopsavvy vs barcode reader
Keyring
Pandora (or last.fm if you prefer)
Weather (that's the full name, i like their widget better than all others)
Power manager full (may want to wait till they fix the bluetooth toggle to buy, but i like having dif power profiles to switch to for home vs out and about - i place shortcuts to the profiles on my home screen and oneclick to activate. Alternative is 'locale' but locale doesnt work very well for droid)
Bluetooth toggle for droid (using this till power manager fixes itself for bluetooth)
Advanced task manager (i like that there's auto-end on the full version...saves me the trouble of closing programs manually. Is also a great easy interface for uninstalling programs)
Gps status (i use this for remembering where i parked my car, free and better than other parking apps. Just go to 'radar' view and click 'mark')
Meebo IM (better than IM+ lite, free, create a meebo acct and just sign into one acct and you'll have all your IM including facebook chat!)
Google navigation (included, it takes a while to get used to, but the key is making a 'my maps' on google maps on your computer, hitting 'layers' on google nav and 'more layers' and choosing your 'my maps'. Easier to get places this way than thru 'contacts' in my opinion. Also try mounting the droid vertically for gps use, i like it because you see forward more rather than to the sides - i wonder why other gps dont do that, it makes so much more sense!)
Buzzlock
Where
Google voice
Quickpedia (wiki reader, better than the rest bc font size adjustable)
Gmote (havent tried yet but looks promising)
Funny jokes (heh heh)
Easy dialer (my go-to for making calls to family and friends quickly)
Battery widget (this is the exact name)
Cardiotrainer (better than andando i think)
Bff photo (facebook photo albums of friends)
Instant lyrics
World weather (i use mainly the widget x 2 to see the time in asia so i know when i can call family and weather in chicago so i can gloat at my freezing friends =)
Facebook (from facebook inc)
SportsTap (best sports app. Period.)
Tier 2: Not on home screen but good to have:
Owner
Saymyname donut (talking caller id, make sure to get donut version, not the old one)
Ringdroid (make own ringtones)
Tone picker (set anything as a ringtone)
Where's my droid
Tier 3: Other useful apps:
Shazam
Places directory
aCar (mileage, maintenance, etc)
Astro (file explorer manager)
B-folders (for keeping sensitive data, can't speak for security, but better than nothing)
Backgrounds
Bible (all Bible versions, but needs data connection)
Dockrunner
Documents to go
gStrings (great free guitar or other instrument tuner)
Guitar chordz
Mabilo ringtones (a team, airwolf, stargate...need i say more? =)
Movies
My coupons
Prayers to share (share and pray for requests anonymously)
Poke a mole
Robo defense
Amazon
Amazon mp3
Motorola media link (program for your pc, havent used yet but looks to be best solution for syncing music)

Does anyone know how to delete friends once you add them to your friend list on the favorite widget on the incredible?

Whenever I add a photo to a contact, then put the contact in the Favorites widget, the picture blurs/pixelizes/generally looks like crap.
I was syncing the pictures with the ones in my Gmail contacts, but I then came across this thread in the Incredible forum. However, the solution given there (manually loading the pictures on the SD card and then choosing them from the Gallery) will only work for a short time. Within a few hours, the picture in the Favorites widget goes to hell again.
I thought it might have something to do with the Google sync, but I just did a manual sync, and it didn't affect the picture at all.
My only clue is that when I go into the profile page for a contact that's in the widget, the (smaller) picture in the upper left corner looks fine. But when I go into the edit page, the picture looks terrible, like it does in the widget, until I save again. Also, if while in edit mode, I choose the contact picture from the Gallery again, the picture resets in the Favorites widget. For a while.
Since it was happening with the Incredible, it appears to be a Sense or Android issue rather than an Evo-specific one. Is it too much to ask that my friends and family look as smooth and sharp as the perky models in the sample Favorites widget?

I have a few people in my favorites on my evo. When I tried calling someone i accidentally clicked "send sms" so now the button only sends an sms. I can't find any way to change it. Can someone tell me how to edit what this button does...when i hold the bottom part of it on the "name part" it just gives me different options on how to sms.

So I've upgraded now to 2.1 at long last (Thanks for the wait Orange), now starting the task of styling the layout, But one thing that is bugging me, is my favorites widget displays Voicemail as a quick link. I want to see the happy smiling faces of my contacts first not the ugly represetation of a tape and a letter.
Does anyone know how to get rid of it? I've tried going into people and editing the group, but its not listed in there.
