Anyone have a pointers towards good ways of doing this? I am using syncsms but don't like the permanent notification. Also little things, like having my tablet remove NY Google voice notification if I've listened to it on my phone. Wish Google now ran on my phone, directions would be nice, I always research on my tablet but navigate with my phone.
Thanks everyone

Google now uses maps to navigate...as does or phone... if you use your navigation app it doesn't keep the most recent destinations or searches? ... maps may keep the directions... maybe be sure to navigate or queries on your tablet and then sync and see if ur phones Google nav app keeps the address...
I don't have a working tablet right now and haven't tested this.. its in theory that I make this suggestion... I do know that when u get directions from Google now however its just using maps.apk

Hi guys I have a question, does the google maps on your Streak have built in launcher to google navigation or is navigation a stand alone app?
For example if you search an address in google maps does it give you the option for both directions and navigation? or just directions?
Because I bought a Streak used, and the latter seems to be the case for me.
Thanks.

I do not have my streak on me at present but i am sure its the latter
stand alone app in launcher bud
Oh, I see, geez that sucks. Oh well, I hope 2.2 update brings lots of needed changes. I love the 5 inch screen, but really thats not enough.
It should be able to do both. When in google maps, hit menu, directions, choose a place hit go and screen will show up with directions and also "show on map" or "navigate"options to click on.
or you can use just the navigation app.
Google maps does have an icon which when you click will take you to a screen where you get options for navigation like voice, past trips etc. you can also place regular trips as icons on desktop

Agreed, navigation is an option on current google maps.
I have the navigation icon also.. remember that google maps will not update itself unless you visit market and install the latest version from there first..

The navigation button is enabled in google maps labs. It becomes an option on your icon along with call the icon.
Great if you are searching for a place you can just click navigate to get to it.
Also when directions are invoked in google maps it gives you the option, to use the normal map directions or navigation
The google labs options are good. It has layers button, measure tool etc

Thanks for the update. I pulled the battery and now it seems to work fine. Maybe i was installing and uninstall too many apps from the market?? Not sure but in any case its working now.
So, over the year(s), I have installed, tried, uninstalled, hundreds of android apps on multiple devices.
So I got my new Nexus 7 and wanted to browse through my list of apps in Google Play. Problem is that there are too many listed there. If you scroll through (I guess it's most recent first) it takes dozens of scrolls to get to the end.
And if I find a few things I want down near the end of the list, once you install one, the list goes back to the begginning!
I'd like to be able to remove from the Play Store listing, those 100 or so apps that I know I will never be reinstalling.
Also, the web version of the play store, only shows the first 180 or so, I can't even get to those labled P through Z!
Search yielded little so I turn to you for help.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
I'd like to know exactly the same thing. So far not found anything.

Not at the moment. It does need to be addressed, and one would assume it will be. It's a complete mess. :thumbdown:

Permanently removing uninstalled apps
At this time, there is no way to permanently delete or remove apps from the Google Play website (My Orders/My Android Apps) or from the Google Play Store app (My Apps) that you’ve previously downloaded but have since uninstalled.
Too lazy to type lol...that was too easy but u sure knocked it out the park
Browse the play store in landscape so you don't have the list reset every time.
I wish they would at least let you filter your old apps... I'm much more interested in seeing the apps that I actually paid for lol.

Anyone wanting to see paid apps only, you need to install this modified play store APK from Modaco.

Just in case anyone is interested...
I've been a Springpad user for a while, and use the 'spring it' feature from the Play store app to create lists - purchased apps, essential apps, etc. It's really helped with organisation. I just click the saved link from Springpad, and I'm sent straight to the relevant Play store entry.
Yeah, so it's a bit of a dirty fix, but it suits me until Google get the Play store niggles sorted. Guessing it will work with other task/organisation apps, but haven't tried...
Google maps is killing my battery.
I am running 4.2.2 stock. I noticed this yesterday and killed the app, deleted its cache and data and never launched it, but today it's done the same! I do not use Google Now.
Anyway I can stop this?

Yep, Maps does that. How to stop it from draining? Uninstall maps.
you can disable it

I think a lot of google services (location) uses maps... Maybe even the new google now. Anyhow go into settings in google maps and turn all of the settings off, especially "location history". Make sure android's settings for location access is turned off. When you reboot, maps should run a lot less if ever. Hasn't come up for me since I did it this morning when I first read your message. No need to uninstall it (might get system errors).
You might loose a lot of services if you do it on a mobile device.
It does run a lot, but you can get more battery by having your screen turn off sooner or not as bright, even not using live wallpaper. I use maps and location services too much to consider turning it off.
Hope that helps some.
Good advice. Using Better Battery Stats, I traced a lot of apps which also cue up Maps. You think its only Maps, but some apps go there to find you & your location. Your basic battery use app will show only Maps as the culprit, but look closer & it's other apps asking it for your whereabouts! Facebook is one of the all time worst. It had so many other privacy issues I deleted my account. Google + & Google Now will also use battery thru Maps finding you. Turn off any apps location service via its individual settings if you want individual control. Or, just deny all of them via main settings.

Cheers guys. I have restricted a few of them now. Strangely my HTC one X does not have the same issues despite running similar apps.

Hello,
I have posted this in previous forums with other devices but I figured since this is a new device for me maybe I would get different responses. Does anyone else seem to notice that the directional arrow between Google maps old vs. new is off by about 15°? It's very annoying to me and I hoped it would be different with a new device (coming from Nexus 4) but same result. I have an old version of Google maps not connected to the Play Store but would like to use the new one. Any thoughts, workarounds, setting tweaks, etc?

Yes! It's really frustrating! I don't have a G2 either, it seems google really messed it up.
Edit: Do you have an issue with the maps not as accurate as before either? Let me explain a little:
The other day I was driving and the maps needed me to get in the right lane because it separates from the rest of the road. I did so but it thought I didn't get over, and started to reroute and show me still on the main road. It never used to have an issue with it or similar things until the latest update.

I've noticed those discrepancies too. I can just use the old version of maps but if I do that and I click a maps link, like in Google search for example, it says there's no application to open this item. Because the version of maps is one someone kinda hacked to automatically not be detected by Google Play for the upgrade. So it's kind of a trade off. Convenience vs. Accuracy.

Everything I tried to voice summon Google Now and tell it to launch an app, it will process my command and show a little loading icon. However, that's all it does and the app never launches.
Has this been a problem for anyone else? I've tried launching Pandora and calculator, both to no avail
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Just tried it. No issue at all.
Just tried and launched my Calculator app with no problem.
To clarify, the problem seems to only happen when the screen is locked. So I Simon a locked device via voice, then say "launch calculator app." Half the time it will tell me "actually, I can't do that. To continue, please unlock your device," while other times it just gets sick on the loading icon. Keep in mind that I have trusted voice activated under my Google settings. I don't know why it's not working.
When the device is unlocked, everything works fine.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
It worked for me at first as well, but now it isn't. Very strange indeed.
Anyone else having troubles? This is annoying because I like launching Pandora via voice when the phone is charging and I'm across the room
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Yes have the same issue. Also the amount of time it gives you respond when using voice commands is horrible sometimes...
Try using OK Google to do a web search first and then as soon as it's done doing your search ask it to open an app. That works for me.

This works because the web search triggers the phone to unlock with your trusted voice first. It's a work around but not a solution to the problem.
And yeah the response time to the voice trigger is pretty crummy.
Anyone know how to get this problem reported to the appropriate people?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
I'm in the same boat, 'Ok Google' is quite unreliable from the lock screen (even with Always On and Voice Smart Lock). More times than not, it fails to perform any of the requested actions. Interestingly, the workaround mentioned above does work. My HTC One M8 was able to accurately activate with screen off without a problem....
I am having the same problem with not being able to open apps from locked screen, how can we report this as an issue?
