:(

Plus letting her know that I just signed up for a pool league may not go over well either.

:D


DId you get Near Me working???
Latest meet up proposal is the evening of the 23rd, I think. Still trying for a consensus...


Near me now still isn't showing up for me or on my friend's iPhone. Strange.

Not Near Me Now, but "Near Me"...for Firefox browser.

You have to slide the finger/stylus from dead area on the right, onto the screen. You have to have a web page open for it to work, but its the same procedure to open up the "Settings". You'll see an icon/button which looks like a "house", just above the settngs link.

That will open the Near Me app:

Re: [Maemo 5] Google Near Me Now?
 
I was able to get Near Me working by changing the N900 browser's user agent string to that of a Nexus One:

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 2.1; en-us; Nexus One Build/ERD56C) AppleWebKit/530.17 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/530.17

One (easy) way to do this is to install the hideuseragent app from the extras-testing repository and setting the custom user agent to the string above. Of course, as mentioned elsewhere on this thread, you will also need to have maemo-geolocation installed in order to pass GPS data to a website.

Yup, that worked. I can read Google docs now too.

I wasn't sure how the Hide User Agent app worked so I just pasted that whole string in the "User Agent: dialog box hit "OK" then "Set". It worked but do you know if this is the correct procedure?

When I hit "Remove" my browser reverts back to acting the way it did so I'm happy for now.
