As some of you know I recently took mossefist's (bigups to him) Motorola BackFlip dump and posted it. Well, after downloading it and Searching it, I realized that it uses Google Search. But wait, it's suppossed to be Yahoo! isn't it? Her is my guess;
IT'S BEEN THEMED!
The Google Search bars have been themed to look like Yahoo!'s and probably lead to www.yahoo.com/[WHATEVER/YOU/SEARCHED], but it's still Google. Can anyone confirm if this is possible or am I just stupid?
Here's the message to Yahoo;
MAKE YOUR OWN OS! You have I think Yahoo! your own Calander Application, Contacts Application, and Yahoo! Mail for users. You have Yahoo! Messanger and everything else. All you need is Yahoo! Maps and that should be easy for you to make. I'm not saying you'll make a lot of money, but for the few people who choose Yahoo! over Google will probably buy your phone. You have Flickr, you have a fe good sources for the OS. You can add an Application Store and put it on the phone. Just try, it won't hurt!
Hi there,
I [accidentally] disabled the wallet app on my Nexus 7 through wallet.google.com and now the icon does not appear in the apps menu.
Since there is no way to re-enable it I decided to remove my wallet account from "Account review" and see what happens.
My question is that will I lose my remaining bonus credit ($19 out of $25 is remaining) or I will be able to have it after re-creating the wallet account.
I'm pretty sure that if you delete the wallet app, it does not delete your wallet account. It's tied to your google account.
Download it from the Play Store here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel
Excuse me but I'm not talking about removing the app.

Well if it wasn't removed, then you can still re enable it?
I got it. It's because I'm not in the US. Many others are having the same issue. See here:

Hangouts is pretty much just a Google Talk replacement at the moment. It doesn't unify anything.

Well, it totally screws up the easy way of cross compatible situation that Gtalk provided with XMPP. So many Messengers on various Computer Systems, incl. Android and iOS could connect to a Gtalk account. Now thats all over. What has that to do with unifying ? Sounds more to me like "limiting".
I suppose, since Gtalk was a major part in Android, one that I believe cannot/could not be uninstalled (please correct me if I am wrong here), we can't uninstall Google Hangout now. Right ? Since if it replaces Talk, it must be a part of the System that can't be uninstalled. Or please tell me that its no problem to uninstall it ?
Any info is appreciated.
Thank you.

I don't like the fact that we can't see the online/offline status of the people in our friend lists anymore!

It's no problem to uninstall it. You can uninstall with titanium backup.

Thank you, that worked.
Does anyone know if Google will also disable the Gtalk Servers with the use for Gtalk compatible XMPP apps on for example PC or if that is still running a while ?

I uninstalled it with Titanium Backups. Now its gone. Can I go back to Gtalk again and if, will it next time be automatically updated with Hangouts again since Google wants to get rid of Gtalk ? Does anyone know if Gtalk (in general) still works as for the Servers, so I could use it on a PC with some alternate Messenger.
Any info on that is appreciated.

You can go back to gtalk,put the file back to the path,and reboot
When I updated gtalk to hangouts, PC termination had worked as usual.
I think automatically update of gtalk will be successful next time.

If I understand you correct, I could put in TALK again but next time (or soon) it will be updated automatically to Hangout again, since that is what Google will force on everyone. So there is no point in putting Talk back I suppose. I just hope they keep the XMPP Servers running for Talk to be used on other Systems like PC. So many nice apps that can be used with Gtalk. Pidgin, Miranda etc.

yes, you are right.
I also like XMPP Servers, but talk combine with google+ message, what a pity.
If you're on a computer, go to Google plus page and turn hangouts on, there is a green line under the picture of contacts who are online. My list of contacts that show are just frequently used ones though. I know this isn't the same but maybe it will show up in the app soon.
ya its a great design but really missing the simple facts.
GOOGLE if you're reading this, combine all the servers into one.
it is still called talk and still looks the same, however apparently I already have the hangout update... what can I do? I rebooted my nexus twice and talk is still there.
It doesnt look the same at all actually. Lol. if it looks the Same for you, it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. there is a phandroid article with a link to the app itself and you can just install it manually.

well it still says talk up left... thanks, I might do it manually, can't wait even tough I never used google talk :laugh:

finally, looks completely different. love it.
according to phandroid it will support sms in a future update.
I removed it completely. If I can't have Google Talk, I dont want that Hangout stuff at all. Google totally screwed up something great XMPP cross-platform stuff which no Google+ or Google Hangout can replace. Not everything wants to be done on a phone, tablet or Browser.

Has anybody had their talk update into hangouts yet? It's listed in play store but it doesn't have an update button because it's a system app.

"NOTE: If you aren't yet able to install Hangouts on your phone or tablet, or the Play Store "Open" button takes you to the old Talk app, hang tight, we are rolling out Hangouts to everyone over the course of several days. Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!" - From Google

Hi all,
I have a slight issue with the new google maps. Basically I have a gmail account which is linked to my domain (google apps). Now when I go into the "people" app, I can see my contacts have their address in their details. But when I open up the new google maps and search my contacts, it does not show my contacts address in the search bar.
Secondly (i think this is related to the same issue), if i try to use Google now "Navigate Home" command, it does not recognise my home address. It asked me to put in my home address and when I do that and click save I get an error that the address could not be saved.
Any idea what is going on with my phone? I have tried resetting the phone but it didnt help.
Thanks
2 things may be going on here. For it to work your contacts have to be associated with the same account as you're signed into maps with.
Second, I remember reading somewhere that it currently does not work with contacts associated with a business account.

Google rarely says "when" LOL. Here is where I spied that disclaimer...
https://support.google.com/gmm/answer/3131570?p=maps_android_contacts&hl=en&rd=1
While I don't have a business account, I have seen a number of complaints about this or that not working right with Google app accounts, and it seems that some of these have been going on for years... so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Sad times!
Thanks for the help though!
I can concur that if you have a google apps for business account it's not pulling in your contact details.
Why would they remove this???? it was working before the update.
I've been using Google Maps/Navigation to get to and from clients and now because I have a google apps for business account where all my contact details are saved.
Crazy!!

Growing pains. Google releases a lot that is unfinished. This is just another brick in the wall.
I don't think this was removed in the strictest sense of the word. I believe the old behavior looked in the local contacts data as i was previously syncing over iCloud, and it worked. After the update i had to change my syncing to Google Contacts online to get contacts from a maps based search.
Guessing this new behavior is more efficient as now both the places and contacts search are online.

Google maps seems to be working (i can look up my contacts addresses) in android 4.3 even though on the link you gave me it still says that google apps business accounts wont have this functionality. One thing which is annoying me now is that since I updated my phone to android 4.3, if i say "Navigate home" to google now, it doesnt work at all (before it used to ask me to tell where is home). it just shows me random results relating home (not mine) on google.
I remember reading that in another thread, or was that you?

In 4.3, I am still seeing no lookup of local contacts unless they belong to the same account that maps is logged in to.

Thats strange.. Did you guys do a fresh install? I did that. Maybe thats what made the difference. Every time there is an update i format everything and do a fresh install. Its just a habit

Yup just did a hard reset and re install of all apps and still no go.
If I do a search for one of my contacts they don't come up at all, just businesses or locations with a similar name (now just got to go into all my apps now and put in all the logins and passwords ......doh!!!)

I wasn't able to search for my contacts either. I had my web history turned off. When I turned web history on, they showed up on both the web based version of Google Maps, and the Android version of Google Maps. (I don't understand why this should be required.)
I have not tried this using a google apps account.
Hope that helps.
