it remembers your previous message so this should prove useful for when I spot a bad driver I can quickly toggle the app and play a predefined message of sorts -_-

Also, anyone know how to clear text search history (eg where it displays previous searches in market searches and so on)? I typed in some questionable searches which I want to hide evidence of !

touchscreens can also support Multitouch. Examples include Apple Inc.'s iPhone and iPod Touch, HTC's G1 & HTC Magic,

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touchscreen#Capacitive

Anyone have any working examples of this on the Magic?

if you have root on the g1/magic you usually have mutitouch, i can now use 2 fingers to zoom in/out in the browser.

Which would you have deadite66? Magic or G1 as would like the magic to have multitouch active!

deadite66 · 28 Jun 2009 at 10:51

i have a g1, much prefer having a hardware keyboard.

No point. It has the ability to have multitouch but nothing is programmed to use it other than the zoom in the browser and I don't get why people want to pinch to zoom. It's much more simple to hit the zoom button.

Lol gotta love the honesty there

Does cache clearing not work? Need to order this phone asap!

mrk · 28 Jun 2009 at 13:43

Well I've been searching around and apparently Google are working on it in the next Market update - at the moment it's not possible to clear manually unless you reset the phone or fill up internal memory in which case Market cache is cleared to free up space!

I have this problem when I used the voice search.

Well today my InvisibleSkin turned up and I'm very disappointed. Their claims of perfect fitting are total tosh - the camera, microphone and lanyard connection on the back don't line up AT ALL and the side pieces have been cut the wrong way, so that they just simply don't fit.

Time to email them I think.

Is there anything better than Nav4All out for Android? I've used it on a few routes and it can get really lost or take a stupid route within towns/cities.

mrk · 29 Jun 2009 at 19:01

My skin is still not here yet.

Hmmmmmm!

CoPilot is now out

mrk · 29 Jun 2009 at 19:11

£22 for copilot - is it worth £22 over a standard Garmin satnav for example?

deadite66 · 29 Jun 2009 at 19:25

no idea haven't tried it.

If yours is anything like mine then I'd ask for a refund

Here are a few pictures to show you just how bad mine fits:

I know the back panel isn't meant to have bubbles in, I knew it wasn't going to fit when I first saw it but I wanted to apply it lightly to take some pictures - same for the overlapping side panels. All of the panels are too big and lop-sided, the back panel will flop over one side if I put the camera lens directly in the middle.

mrk · 29 Jun 2009 at 19:53

Damn that's bad - did you buy it from the official source site or is it a 3rd party skin btw?

I bought it from the link you posted a few pages back - InvisibleSkinz.com who are apparently a authorised reseller! I've gone back to my bulky gello skin and a cheapo screen protector until InvisibleSkinz get back to me.

I was really hoping they were as good as they looked on the website!

mrk · 29 Jun 2009 at 19:57

I could not have a bulky one so if the skin I get is the same fit as yours then a refund will be in order!

I'm pretty fed up with my gello skin actually, it attracts dust and pocket lint like nothing else. I'm going to take it out of that and stick with a screen protector only I think

Good luck with the InvisibleSkin, hopefully it's a bit better than mine!
