Hi all
I need an app that will let me overlay gps data over a map. Now I have some GPX files which are easy converted to KMZ files and can be viewed using google maps but the problem I have is that I want to use these files in more remote areas where data connection is likely to be lost.
Is there any way to download google maps so I could still use these files just by using a GPS signal? If not is there an alternative way of using these GPS files?
Also does anyone know of any other tracking/fitness/cycling apps? I have MY TRACKS and CARDIO TRAINER.
Thanks in advance
Gary
I've been using endomondo for over a year now, in my opinion by far the best app for cycling
Sportypal. Its an app with differet tracking options including a cycling option.
Yoo!
Got my Xperia Z today and im happy with it!
So my question is what apps are recommended when im new at the android community?
Thx!
P.S.: Moved finally away from iPhone!
You have done the right thing, dumping an iphone. Welcome to the world of Sony!!
Must Have Apps for Xperia Z
Social media apps you might use (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Foursquare, ...)
Skype
WhatsApp: free messaging
Viber: free messaging and calling, but less users than WhatsApp
Tapatalk 4: famous forum app (currently $0.99 instead of $4.99)
Box: free cloud storage, currently you get 50 GB (lifetime) instead of 5 GB if you create an account on your Sony smartphone
Dropbox, Google Drive, Skydrive if you use it
Google Earth
Google Sky Map: augmented reality sky map
Plane Finder: airplane tracking
My Tracks: GPS tracking (distance, speed, elevation, complete route, ...)
Tasks: if you use Google Tasks
WeatherPro: the best weather app for smartphones ($ 2.99)
IMDb: to look up films
eBay, Amazon, PayPal if you use it
AppSales: check discounted apps
Wikipedia
Google Translate
BBC News
Local news apps
Mobile banking app if available for your bank
Public transport apps if you use it
PassWallet: opens Apple Passbook files
Any games you like
Apart from that, I also have some local apps (for my region).
I also have TomTom Western Europe on my phone, which is very useful for navigation without internet connection (e.g. abroad), but it costs a lot if you want to buy it ($79.99 / € 59.99).
Sony's stock apps are really nice, so I haven't felt the need to replace them by alternative apps.

Thank you very much for your effort!
This will help me a LOT!
I have all my data from my iphone in my xperia z using xperia transfer (LOL)
Thx for the suggestion for the TomTom, but i don't need it because im not a driver yet
Do you have any suggestion, for a case that is compatible for the Sony dk26?
AGAIN THANK YOU!

Thanx.
Actually I didn't want the iphone, but my parents thought that i like iphone better -.-
You're welcome
TomTom is also useful for walking and biking. It can be very handy if you are abroad in a city you don't know, without internet connection.
Unfortunately, I don't think any case is compatible with Sony DK26. I use a soft TPU case, which is very easy to remove when I want to put my phone in the charging dock.

Than, im thinking about to buy it
Ok thank you, then i'll buy a sleeve
my personal list
BSPlayer FREE, lets me watch youtube/listen to music while chatting or when mobile videos are disabled.
IM+, connects all my msgers including skype, clean interface, no very annoying video call button i accidentally hit constantly.. when I'm naked...
google drive, I like having access to my files
ASTRO File Manager or Root Explorer
Hubi - lets me stream shows from flash sites
Netflix - lets me stream shows from netflix
ISeeYou - keeps my phone on when I'm looking at it, locks rotation to the way im viewing.
Steam
Where's My Droid - I just like the options form it... probably not necessary with google and sony's tracking.
GrooveIP (for google voice calling over wifi, I dont have service at home)
Pandora - for when I dont feel like skipping every bad song.
Grooveshark - for my own playlists
so yea most of my stuff is media related... but I mostly use my phone for media or work, and the occasional surprise video call in the nude.
Box gives you 50 gigs of cloud storage if you sign up using your Z (atleast they did a while back, still worth trying).

Does the Gear Live have a workout mode like running and cycling on my Neo 2? I use it everyday and have to have it on there.
Sent from my LG-F400K using XDA Free mobile app
I am sure it will eventually have apps like Runtastic and such that will work. Just curios if it has any out of the box.
Does this watch have built in GPS?
Gear Live actively tracks your steps & heart rate on-demand; no workout mode currently available. GPS data obtained from paired device. Fitness apps are forthcoming, for instance Viewranger is releasing app with Google Wear support http://www.viewranger.com/en-gb/abo...offers-active-navigation-through-android-wear
Ok thanks for the info.

I'm sure this will come very soon after release. I see it being a main focus with these devices.

Runtastic has now updated to support wear fully. It has cards (displaying the usual summary info you get on phone, or something similar to what it does on sw2 already). And actions such as pause, start, view map etc. In fact iirc they have updated their screenshots on google play to show off wear functionality.

Yup...it appears that apps are starting to receive AW updates. Another fitness app recently updated with AW functionality is RunKeeper - pretty cool app; it integrates voice control.

it has to use the smartphone to tracking the activitys. can't use the android wear it self alone like fitbit, or gear neo.
Hi
Does anyone know the function of the Huawei Wallet App, preinstalled on the P20pro?
It seems it does not work for pay with NFC.
Thanks
Br Roger
You use it to buy new themes or apps from the Huawei apps.
I have been going through the forum but still haven't worked out how to remove the launcher so I can just use Nova without keep on going back to the system default.
I couldn't get gpay working also . Very frustrating
I am on origin OS...
Thank you for everyone's help in advance!!

To change the default launcher you have to make a Vivo account and set in Security/More security setting/Replace systen launcher "Allow the launcher to be replaced".
For GPAY what is you problem?
Thanks on the launcher and it has been working for 2 hours now. For gpay, when I went to pay for my shopping, the terminal seems not detecting phone... Not too sure..
On my IQOO 9 pro (origin OS) in order to change the launcher to default I do this: Settings/Apps & permissions/Permission management/permission/ scroll down to Default app settings/home screen

NFC problem?
Gpay worked fine from the first day with origin, seem like your problem is related to something else.
The NFC sits under the Mirror next to the Camera. Did you have your NFC turned on in the settings?
I find that my wallet keeps defaulting to the Vivo Wallet. So before I use GPAY I need to open the NFC option, then go to tap and pay, and then make sure Google Pay is selected.
You can set a shortcut for the NFC from the dropdown menu, so it only takes a second to do this.
I keep the Vivo Wallet installed as it has a nice feature of being able to add my condo entrance gate access card. GPay can't do that.

I fixed it by changing NFC setting... i am very surprised that NFC was not activated based on the APP !!!!!

And you can keep GPay under tap and pay? How did you add the entrance gate card? Does it work only by closing the phone, or you have to activate or change some settings every time?
Vivo Wallet cannot be disable from the last firmware

I accidently discovered the gate card function when I put my phone on my wallet next to my gate card. It brought up Vivo Wallet. I figured it out that it was for the gate key. (It's all in Chinese). So now to activate it I just double press the power button and it brings it up so I can unlock the gate.
But doing this makes it revert back to Vivo Wallet for tap & Pay. So I need to go back and change Google Pay as the default.
no way to uinstall stock launcher by using ADB commands ? It seems this time stock launcher is integrated on the system so it's impossible.
this is the output by trying to disable stock launcher:
