Waze: Driver-Generated Live Maps and Real-Time Road Information. Free.
"There are plenty of social, web, and technology tools to help you with your commute. Whether you have a TomTom or constantly whip out your iPhone, you can find driving directions, locations, general traffic information, and even speed traps.
However, what Waze is aiming to do is far more ambitious. This mobile app, which uses crowdsourcing to create driver-generated maps, is expanding out of Israel and is launching today in the U.S. With it is a technology that gathers information on driving patterns, traffic, accidents, police traps, and more and analyzes it in order to inform the driver of the best possible route available."

Anyone else notice the lack of accuracy at times with this app?
I do love it though, the UI is freakin sweet.

Challenge to Motorola

Here is the thread
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/440987#440987
Here is the challenge
Aug 4, 2011 2:22 PM
Challenge to Motorola.
This question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)
In one of my threads I mentioned that I have had 31 replacement devices since December of 2007. In that thread someone had said something to the affect of "too bad you didn't join then....we would have loved to help you"....well....here's your chance.
I have a challenge, or 2, for you. I am sure you will pass on the second, but I hope not....you choose.
I have two Droid 3's in my possession right now with a 3rd on it's way. Both of these have issues. This "challenge" has a time frame of 10 days. That is how long I have these until Verizon is going to expect them to be returned. Again....10 days...
Here are your options....
Option 1- You troubleshoot these devices as much as you like. I will follow ALL directions given and report results.
Option 2 (my preferrence)- You send these 2 specific devices an OTA to unlock the boot loaders (like you said you were going to do anyway) and provide me with the "necessary files" (who's name I cannot mention) and let's see if the development community can fix them first.
So...what's up? Can you support YOUR phone with YOUR settings? Better yet...can you support YOUR phone better than we can?
Let me know and I will post up the problems that they are having to begin.
Phone 1
Ever since the device arrived it consistantly puts itself into airplane mode. I have performed 2 factory resets but the issue persists
Phone 2
Blue haze to almost any picture taken.
Green artifacts during screen transitions after watching any video that is longer than 1 minute in length. Reboot fixes until another video is watched. This is with videos from Youtube, Netflix, or even video taken on the phone.
Lockscreen sliders do not appear. Ever since I enabled the lockscreen pattern the first time. What happens is if I have the pattern enabled it shows the sliders...then pattern. If I disable lockscreen pattern it just bypasses the sliders. Does this after reboots, screen off then back on....screen wakes and goes straight into the homescreen bypassing the sliders.
I can take video and post on youtube of the sliders
I can post pics of comparison from stock camera app and 3rd party. to fix put 3rd party white balance to florescent
Request anything else you wish.

I think you should address this post to Motorola's forums. I think there are not (many) Motorola's employees in here...

Difference in Play Store - Kindly explain [Pics inside]

Hi!
I'll get straight to the point.

Second Picture:
My Question is, WHY both markets are different? I live in Pakistan and I was wondering why we dont get the same one as shown in First Picture?
Is there any way I could get the one shown in First Picture?
Someone gave me an idea that MarketUnlocker is there for this reason. But i have tried playing with it and i was unable to get my desired results.
Anyone have any idea about it?

The one in the first picture is for the states (or places that have Google Music, Video Books). Currently not available in all countries and while you may figure out how to get it it will still be useless as I am sure you will still need a US credit to purchase anything from Google Books for example. Or a US address to have the Galaxy Nexus delivered etc

Hey! Thanks for the prompt response
I thought they would've SOMETHING which is free. Would it hurt if i download some "Free" music or books from Google Play Store? You know what i mean ...
So everything is paid there? And are you saying its impossible for me to get it on my device?

Yes of course it's paid else you could order a free GNex
And also yes it is possible to get it by using a US proxy but I don't see the point in doing so

That actually cleared a lot of things for me.

With the same Market Unlocker Pro version I guess?
Well i will try to do that, just to settle my curiosity. Otherwise, i get your point that there is no benefit for doing that.
Lastly, Thank you very much for the prompt response. Appreciate it

[UCCW] Thread of shame

A lot of us contribute to the uccw app by sharing what we create. Through this sharing we've seen some amazing and creative things be born. We share with everyone with the assumption the work shared is not exploited for profit by some person who just rebrands it with a different name, and sells it as their own. In most cases a courtesy email is not even given asking for permission to use the work. Understanding it is distributed freely by the creator, they still have creative rights to that skin if you decide to redistribute for sale.
That being said I've always been taught to do the right things growing up, like don't lie, don't steal and be generous when you're able. So... since some people find it hard to do so, I think it would be beneficial to maintain a thread of shame listing those users who operate outside the realm of honesty. Thefts who are caught stealing other people's skins/work without permission will be posted here and 'outed'.
Let's see if public shame can do what your sense of right & wrong could not.

I have not given him my consent to use this, nor has he asked me, blackbearblanc, or pooely .
Note, He has also taken pooely Google now weather beta and sold that on his own before being caught and having it taken down.
Please take a min and visit his play store links and report the skins and send him an email of appreciation. An email to Google would be appreciated as well.
Thank you.
If you have seen or know of anyone else using someone else's skin or work without permission, please post the info here

[Google Play Store] Real reviews are deleted without any reason/notice

Context:
• Genuine Play Store reviews are getting deleted by Google assuming it as fake!
References:
• Google Updates Play Store Developer Program Policy to Combat Incentivized Ratings and Reviews
• Google Play is Hit with a New Wave of Fake Reviews
Things didn't really change in 2 years (at least) and I think this deserves a thread on XDA. Of course all devs are concerned but users too! You will understand why in a few minutes...
◘ My experience
In the Dev Console we can choose to receive email notifications when a new review is available. That's what I always do to give a quick answer if necessary.
In the emails from Google we have the rating and the comment but not the name of the person who posted the review.
Right after receiving this email I go to the dev console to check if the review is still there. It's not unusual that the review has already been removed by Google. It simply disappeared from the dev console and for everyone.
Actually things aren't that simple...
1. Sometimes the review is removed a few hours later.
2. I said that the review is no longer available in the dev console and it doesn't appear in the public version of the Google Play Store. However even if the review is removed for the rest of the world, the user who posted the review still sees his message! Here is why Google is misleading and deceitful.
◘ What can we do as developers/users?
We can try to complain about Google's algorithm (until things are fixed).
FYI data are sometimes not relevant in the dev console, there are several bugs including with Adwords platform... and Google's support is useless (the quality of their answers is really poor).
And some folks trust them to control their cars, manage all their digital lifes...
Some users of my apps and myself tried to contact Google's support. They are sorry if we have a bad experience with their products and services (LMAO) but the control of reviews is managed by their "Ratings and Comments team". Do you know what? We can't contact them and we can't have any answers from them.
◘ Closing words
Independant devs are working hard (sometimes several hours a day) to publish great apps with regular updates and all this may look like a losing battle.
Moreover Google tries to fight fake reviews. Since fake reviews means 5 stars you can imagine that 90% of our removed reviews are positive...
Support your devs and post genuine reviews to help and motivate them!
If you have more information on this matter then please share.
Thank you.
