+keehotee Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Apologies - as the feedback site doesn't seem to get much traffic (or interraction), thought I'd post here instead.... 1. Has anybody managed to get hold of and run the official app on a handset with a qvga screen (HTC Tattoo or SE Xperia X10 Mini)? 2. Did anybody taking part in the beta tests run this on a qvga screen? There must have been more of them about back then? 3. Has Groundspeak got any plans to make the app available to users of handsets with qvga screens - or are we stuck with 3rd party apps?

+*mouse* Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Are any of the lackeys or mods able to answer this?? Lots of cachers have asked the same question on feedback with no reply. Yes or no either way, but the silence on the subject is very fustrating! Link to comment

+MaxiP Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) I have a HTC Tattoo, albeit running a modified version of Froyo. You may not be able to see the app in the marketplace unless it has been correftly signed to work with QVGA screens - as I have rooted my phone, I have full market access. The official app that I have used (1.02) works on the QVGA screen OK but I can't comment on how good it is or any quirks on the smaller screen as I only installed it to see what it looked like. Other apps that I use (c:geo, GeoHunter, GeOrg) all work on the smaller screen as well but obviously you are restricted to the amount of information that can be displayed. I made a suggestion to the author of GeOrg about using the app on smaller screens and in the last release, he has added an option called 'Readability' that uses a larger font. All of these apps have also been tested on HTC Wildfire which is also a QVGA screen but slightly larger. HTH Edited November 2, 2010 by MaxiP Link to comment

HTH So if, as you've proven, the app will work with a qvga screen, how much more nagging is it going to take us to get Groundspeak's developers to tick the box? That's all we want! Link to comment
robertlipe Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 "Nagging" in this forum will get you nowhere. It's not read by Groundspeak's developers of their apps. If you have a feature request of their software, the forum that their developers and support staff follow is http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showforum=85 Closing this one. Link to comment
