Has anyone figured out if it's possible to use the G1 for GPS navigation without accessing the internet? I'm about to drive to a different country and really don't want to pay the massive data roaming charges!
I've already tried openstreetmap, I couldn't get it to work.

I recently brought a HTC Hero from Three (3) mobile on PAYG, unlocked it with no problems and got myself a sim only contract with T-Mobile.However I am trying to access the internet over the t-mobile network and it wont let me get anywhere, always bringing up the 'Web page is not availiable' screen. I have no issues running the internet over wi-fi and I am receiving calls and texts over the t-mobile network so I assume its not a sim issue (the contract includes data allowance btw). Also the sim that 3 mobile gave me with the phone accesses mobile internet perfectly.Does anyone on here have any suggestions as to what things I could try to rectify this problem.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just bought a Legend and am loving it for the most part. But I have one big problem - apps are not accessing the internet when not on WiFi. I have Vodafone, and the EDGE connection (we don't have 3G in India yet) works in the Internet browser, but none of the apps (twitter, facebook, nytimes, kayak) work on EDGE. Is there something I need to change in permissions or settings? All these apps have full internet access in their permissions, so I don't get why they are not working.
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy real problem is apps trying to be online like facebook, tango and such.. my subscription plan is limited so I need to stop them and allow only one app per my needs..
I know about the great app called "Droidwall" it's fine and all but it doesn't provide a mutli-profile function thus I need to tick and un-tick the wanted apps every time I connect!!
I need an app that let's me choose apps which I want them connected to my mobile data and SAVE my configures under one name to a separate profile..
Is there any app like that?
I copied my music files from my PC to the phone, but now when I try and play the music in Play Music, its somehow accessing the internet, changing my tags, album art etc which I've spent years perfecting on my own. BTW none of this stuff is in the cloud or purchased from Google, they're all "real" MP3 files.
Is there a way to stop the app from doing this, or are there alternate apps?
I just got a Hero, its really cool, but I'm worried about how much data this thing is going to eat up. I've got a 500MB limit, but I dont really know how long that will last. So heres a few questions
How do I know if the phone is accessing the internet through WiFi or not? Obviously WiFi doesnt count towards the limit, so I want to know that I'm using it as often as possible.
Do widgets on the home page count towards your data limit? I've got a weather widget, facebook, bbc news, email, all getting their info from the internet. Is this going to be raking up the MBs while the phone is just sat in my pocket?
Is there a number I can ring to see how much data I've used? I'm with Orange. A number to call to check my texts and minutes would be helpful, too.
Looking for a navigation app with no "Internet access" permission. Maps will probably be loaded manually...
I've spent some time at the market with no results. I'm looking for an old fashioned solution where you simply load in a map into your device (manually), the GPS reciever takes the required signals from the sky and shows your coordinates on the map. That's it.
No internet connection, no fancy 'in store purchases', simply a man and his interactive map- just like my grandpappy used to do back in 1845.
After seeing the image of Google selling the unlocked version of the Nexus One, I'm intrigued to buy one. However, I'm wondering if Google navigation will work without Internet as I don't plan on buying a data plan. If Google navigation does work, can you tell me what features, if any, are lacking because of the loss of Internet. I understand that this cannot answered by a person without a Nexus One, since its not released yet, but does anyone with a Motorola Milestone know the answer?

I don't get it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedRight basically you can find the UK T mobile internet settings on the T mobile website. On the Speed Test app, the highest speeds I get are 1.8m/bs downloads and around 500kpbs upload. However, those were at off peak times at night etc (probably when nobody is using the net).Generally I get anything from 0.3 m/bs to 0.9 m/bs though. Lately I've been experiencing some inconsistent internet speeds and reconnection attempts so for I've gone back to the default settings. Tbh though I'm not sure if it makes much difference.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIt has come to my attention that Android can only deal with asset files that are around 1M or so. My problem is that i'm creating an app that requires access to 5 csv files. The largest of the files is 130M. I want to be able to package these text files with my app. Is there anyway around this? My app needs to be able to run without Internet access so storing these files on a server is not an option.

Is there a way to click on a dialog, or get Views belonging to the Dialog in unit tests?The only way I could come up with is to keep a reference to the dialog and have my Activity implement a getter method to let testcases access the dialog. Is there a better way that doesn't require changing my production code?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am experiencing a problem with accessing an application from the Android-browser. The application uses DWR to persist connections to the clients that are connected with it. Everything works fine for me, except that if the application does not send any data to the client on the Android-phone for 2 minutes, the connection seems to be lost and no data arrive at the client. The same scenario works just fine on Firefox, Opera and Chrome. If the pause between two data transfers is less than 2 minutes, it works just fine.
So, now my question: Is there some timeout setting for the android browser that I am missing? Or is this some built-in bug/feature/whatever that I cannot circumvent? I know that I could prevent this from happening with some sort of heartbeat, I would just like to why this is happening.
