Group: Forum Members Posts: 3, Visits: 26	I have trialled the Freelander PG10 (Chinese Import available on Amazon - £130 with 3G/WiFi/GPS/2 x SIM slots/MicroSD) and happy to say latest Android release (26 March 2013) works a treat. The display is not great in sunlight (not expected at £130) so I fitted a 7" sun hood and feedback from my rear seater is that it is fine. Plan to use Galaxy Note 2 as back up to my MGL EFIS in the front. Thanks SD for the Android platform - flying has become that more enjoyable. Bob www.rv-8.co.uk Tags android version Freelander PG10

Works fine but one thing that I have send twice to the development team: When touching an airport, I no longer see crucial information like radio (communication) freqs en runway information. One of the powerfull options from Skydemon I think. When choosing an airport to visit we always checked basic info by touching that airport on the map! The only way at this moment is to make a route, including the airport to visit and then looking up the info retrieving the pilot log. So dear Skydemon team, please inplement it (back) as in the CE and Ipad version. Regards, Hendrik (Henri). Tags android airport information quick info improvement

It seems to have been fixed in the latest beta (dated 20th March), as has the crashing on the Galaxy Tab 2. Edited 3/26/2013 10:59:46 AM by madgav

A Nexus 7 will shortly replace my oversized iPad, but in the meanwhile this is a great supplementary device. Only issue so far is that the fonts are too big despite being set to the lowest level on a very high resolution screen (470 ppi)

I have not had the chance to try it in flight but it appears to work well at ground level in the car although I did have a bit of difficulty climbing to 1300ft to avoid an obstruction! One issue that I did notice was that the altitude was consistently overstated by around 150 ft - not knowing enough about these things I don't know if this is an Android issue, my phone issue or something else. Other gps apps on my phone also overstate by a similar amount and I have seen similar results on a Nexus 4 whereas on an iPad the altitude is within 20 feet or so similar to the performance of my Garmin 296.

Group: Forum Members Posts: 9, Visits: 49	stevelup (14/03/2013) malcolmfrost (14/03/2013) After downloading, I get a "problem parsing the package" message. Am I being too ambitious trying it on a Galaxy S? Does your device meet the minimum requirements (in particular the Android OS must be at least 3.2) - wikipedia says it never had any official release beyond 2.3. You could try Cyanogenmod, but I think you may end up in a world of pain running 4.x with only 512MB of RAM. I have an HTC Sensation and was also having parsing problems. I just did a trouble free software upgrade which has fixed the problem. Settings About Phone Software Updates I accept no responsibility if it kills your phone but mine was very straightforward and happily did itself in ten minutes or so. Just don't mess with it whilst it's doing it And well chuffed with what I've seen so far ..... Edited 3/22/2013 6:13:27 PM by ChrisH

Group: Forum Members Posts: 2, Visits: 13	My wife’s Nexus 4 worked really well in the RV-12 today. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/58309803/Photos/IMG_1028.JPG The Nexus 4 had little screen reflection, and in that respect was better than my ipad. It was much better screen than the £40 ChineseWindows CE GPS I bought as a backup. This is returning up the Manchester Low Level Corridor. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/58309803/Photos/SkyDemon.wmv As we haven’t room to mount an ipad in our small panel, a phone version really makes sense. I’ll sell the Windows CE GPS but keep the ipad for backup and big screen planning. Now is anyone doing a deal on a Samsung Galaxy 4?? John. Edited 3/17/2013 7:13:53 PM by JSTAMPER
