+RetallickRamblers Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Hi, I've been using Geocaching Live beta 0.99.01 for some time on my Sony Ericcson mobile phone. It's generally been fairly good, if a little sluggish. Over the last few weeks however, it's stopped downloading cache details, hanging on [Loading description]. I've tried the PC webstart version on my computer, & that's doing the same. Does anyone know if this is a general problem? Is anyone else having better luck with the beta version? Are GS stopping support for the beta version now version 2 is released for compatible devices? Would love to get this sorted as it doesn't look like they will release a version 2 for java phones.

+RetallickRamblers Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Help. is anyone else using this? Are you also having problems or is it only me? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
TheCELTs Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I tried using GCL on my Nokia 5800 a few months ago. When it worked it was fine. But like you I found that it just hung without warning, so I would spend ages wondering whether it was still trying to download or had failed. I got fed up with this, bit the bullet, and invested in Trimble's Geocache Navigator. This has it's faults, but at least I can rely on it working when I want it to - and the support's better for a paid-for product. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment

Do you know if it will work on a java based SE phone? The info doesn;t seem to be on their website. Quote Link to comment
TheCELTs Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Sorry, can't help with that one - can't claim to be a geek on these things ! I bought GCN through Nokia's Ovi store, which sorted all the stuff about whether it was compatible with my phone. Is there an equivalent app store for Sony-Ericson ? If not, I guess the only thing would be to contact Trimble direct to ask if there's a version compatible with your phone. Cheers Quote Link to comment

+SnitserNL Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 On this page the following statement is shown (I think) for more than a year now: Geocaching Live Beta will be completely revamped in the near future and emerge better than ever as part of our new Geocaching Live suite of features. When will this really take place? Quote Link to comment
