hotels don't show up... only capes,bars,attractions,and restaurants under the 'local' menu..
thanks for your reply

Hit Search button, select "hotel". That will create layer you can turn on/off as needed.

when i hit the 'search' button.... all i get to do is to type in hotels... and it shows all he hotels in the map that showing.
doesnt create a layer tab or button. but
that is a work around..
thanks...
i wish i could get a hotels tab or button to show up....
ps.. the search button is only a dialogue box

You can type "Hilton" or "Motel 6" to get more specific results. This is not specific to 7.7. Screenshot is from GNex.

My Wi-Fi didn't work in a hotel properly

HomeTown Weather - Homescreen

I had this problem in HD2 as well but sorted it out. How do you put a default weather location on the main screen.
I do not want weather to show "My location" . I just want to see my home towns weather irrespective of where I am.
Any help?
Tap and hold the home screen widget, untill its draggable. Then drag it to the lower left "edit" button and type in a city

WOW
That was so cool
You made my day. Thanks
edit on mine does nothing it doesn't get highlighted as a option when i press and hold the widget?
bump is anyoneelses edit feature not working
It works for me. I wanted the opposite to yahya.hamid, I wanted to show 'current location' rather than the name of the town. As the man said, press and hold, then drag down to the bottom left hand corner, which turns into 'edit' and up pops the choice of cities or you can type one in. Thanks fcjversc, made my day also.
My problem is the number of cities in the database is very limited. Is there a way to get more cities?
Is anyone else having the edit issue I have ,if I hold on the widget and drag it to Tue bottom left corner the edit option is not delectable only the remove option is available

Are you using the widget with the flipping clock and weather? If so mine does it.
Got it sorted brutally that gives you is cities in the weather database. Mine is not in there,on win mob the was a app that allowed you to add any place as long ad you had the accurately view weather code

Browser Shortcuts to Home Page not working?

I hit menu>more>add bookmark> and I check the "add to home" option, nothing happens. Anyone else have this happen too? Is this another "Froyo" wonder
This way works on mine... long press on your home screen... select shortcuts>bookmark then pick the bookmarked web page. Puts it right where you long pressed on the home screen.
Thanks for the tip. Ill have her try this out immediately when she gets home. Thanks

Android tab navigation help

Hello guys,
I'm new to android, I'm doing an simple app as an requirement for college project.
The app uses tab navigation as demonstrated in " androidhive tab swipe"
Its required that each tab to be an drop down menu as I have multiple pages within a tab.
Please assist me on how can I get the tab into a drop down menu and content into the pages inside the tab.
If you can provide me on how this can be achieved - it will be very useful.

Do you want the tab to be a drop down menu (aka Spinner) or should the screen then show a drop down menu?
Hi, thanks for the reply. The screen should just show a drop down menu from which I want to select and navigate to different pages. Means each tab should show a drop down menu. Please assist.

Are you sure that this is the right tactic? Two selection items are often too complicated. If you've got some time, watch this video on app structure: http://youtu.be/XpqyiBR0lJ4
If you still want to do it like you described, you can try this: Add a Spinner to the layout and below that add a ViewPager which you add different Fragments to, depending on both selections. If you don't need swiping to get to the next screen, you can simply add the Fragments below the Spinner.
Hi, thank you for the reply. I will try the solution you pointed, and update here.

Offline maps

Hello
I tried offline maps . I have read 10 different websites with instructions, but i cant see the button on my LG G2. Is there a trick that i am missing?
Thanks
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
Its tricky. You search for the area you want to save the map for.. So in Maps, type in "Kentucky" for example . then tap the info bar and you'll see "save map for use offline"

Everything comes up peryour picture except the save offline!
What's going on?
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
Try pressing the search bar then swipe to the bottom of the list that drops down. There should be written "save for offline maps" or sth else
unfortunately nothing comes up! and i am going for a trip in a couple of days and i cannot do anything..
arghhhhh!!

This is how you save an offline map:
Go to the area you want to save (even the zoom should be adjusted based on how much you want to save).
Tap the search bar and write "ok maps" and press search.
Feel the magic.

[Q] menu button and nearby devices

hi there,
1. i notice that since my S5 which had LP installed, on S7e i cant use the menu button for menu actions cause it is always forces the recent app screen, when i use xda app on my S7e i cant seem to reply or add a new message because isted of showing me the menu of the thread if i press menu button it goes to recent or if i try to press a little longer it give me a notice that xda app does not support multy window.
no matter what i try i cant seem to use the button as menu. and i cant seem to find in settings how to turn it off or at least turn of multy window which will probably will help to use menu button as menu.
/ found a solution for that problem....its called multy window toggle for samsung from play store. stops the annoying multy window.
for the google now that keeps popping on home button just need to uninstall google app and force it to factory app and it wont pop by pressing home button.
2. also on my older S5 with LP i had the option to share media with my ADB streamer via nearby devices in the settings menu. once i open the nearby devices i had few option on which file to share and to which device. but now in the S7e i have the nearby devices but i cant seem to share media with my streamer no more, plus i dont see any option to share media except the on off button and small explanation text about the nearby thing.
for this issue i still didnt find any solution.
both S5 and S7e are stock, my S5 is rooted tho.
can anyone enlighten me about this. maybe i just missed something about both issues ?
thanks for helpers
