dh not ds. The language is a bit rich for my ds!

LOL SDD - loved the "I must have it today" - was told that someone I know was at the mobile shop at 7am to get one...

I've saved a copy, and would have tried getting it onto a few iPhones belonging to friends but of course, having saved as .flv (Flash video) and with Steve Jobs declaring Flash is evil, they will have no easy way to play it!

Just got a htc desire-- Is there a app for satnav ?

Traineetoddlertrainer · 02/07/2010 18:10

Google Navigator does the Sat Nav stuff. You can save directions to Google My Maps and then get Navigator to tell you where to go. Very cool (you need to go into Layers on the Google Maps to get My Maps..) Cool

SandyisinCaldwell · 02/07/2010 18:33

Trainee: thanks for the info on google navigator

OP posts:
notanidea · 02/07/2010 18:49

thanks will try download ....now

MimsyStarr · 02/07/2010 21:12

Yes, as Trainee says there is satnav free by Google. The latest update does voice navigation (awful voice though!). When I first ran it on my Desire it didn't do voice, then I installed an update and it did. Hope it works for you Sandy and Notanidea.

nappyzoneloveschinesefood · 03/07/2010 19:31

SandyisinCaldwell · 03/07/2010 20:15

notanidea · 03/07/2010 22:33

SandyisinCaldwell · 03/07/2010 22:37

Not: I just went into the andriod market and put it in the search bar.

notanidea · 04/07/2010 10:01

Thanks Sand I diddo that but I have downloaded googlemaps is this the same app.Do you know how to uninstall any of the app you have downloaded if you dont need them

SandyisinCaldwell · 04/07/2010 20:06

notanidea: not sure how to uninstall - if you find out could you please let me know too

OP posts:
notanidea · 04/07/2010 23:37

Yes I did hold the apps you want to delete for few seconds and a red bin appears at the bottom of the scrren and just drag the app you want to dlete to the bin and it is deleted- it is really cool.

unfitmother · 04/07/2010 23:48

I've just got one as well, too scared to take it out of the box!

varicoseveined · 05/07/2010 11:26

to uninstall app, you can either go to the Android Market, click on "downloads", click on the actual app you want to uninstall then select "uninstall".

SandyisinCaldwell · 05/07/2010 17:28

Not & Varicos - many thanks.

Do you find the battery drains really quickly? I'm having to charge my phone every day.

OP posts:
notanidea · 05/07/2010 20:12

That's right I was thinking the same

varicoseveined · 05/07/2010 20:15

Yep, daily charging is pretty much par for the course for me, I do use wi-fi a great deal.

SandyisinCaldwell · 05/07/2010 20:17

I was wondering if I changed from 3g to 2g it may make it last longer.
