How to create Groups Category on Phone - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I've been searching everywhere for help on creating a separate category called "groups" next to "phone", "call log", and "favorites". I need this function due to the fact I do property management and i need to know which house belongs to which tenant. Is it possible to make it on this phone? Since it is already built in most modern phones.

Go to the people app. Hit the group button in the bottom middle.

can not find an app called people app, where do i find it? what is it called? HELP!

It's called "People". It's not something you need to download, press your menu button and it is probably on the second page... under "P".

Don't sweat it....
Google People is quirky.
It collects contact data from accounts it recognizes, like Yahoo Mail and Skype.
If you try to change data in one of those "foreign" data section, it says This app can not change data. I guess that is reasonable.
You have to use the data "owner", like Skype, to modify it.

Notification tip

Incase I'm not the only person left who never realised this.
In JB if you have annoying apps/games (games mostly) that don't have inbuilt options to turn off notications, ie autorap. You can turn them off by going to settings - apps - select app - untick the box "show notifications"
Can't believe I never noticed this already

Most of the games which spam with notifications have an option to disable it in their ingame menu

Not all, like I said autorap doesn't, others too

The other trick is to long press the notification which will bring up an option to view the App Info. Removing several steps.

Home after calls

I was wondering if there is a way that when you hang up from a call you press end and you go to home screen instead of being directed to call log. Can we modify some files or something of the like. I'm sure some people want to be directed there but I for one just want to return home with ONE BUTTON PRESS. Thanks for any feedback no flaming allowed.

I use Not Call Log, and it works well. (I have no idea why Google thought the original behavior was a good idea.)
Perfect just what I was looking for.

Driving me crazy

These dang apps with the advertising in them are pissing me off. Everytime I turn on my tablet there is one in my notification bar. Anyone know of an app to block them? I just usually delete the app out of frustration but there are some I'd like to keep.

Then why don't you pay for them to get rid of the ads?

Correct. And some you need more than 15min to check em out.

I find i best to be more particular of what I install and do not support any app that uses notifications to advertise.
An ad blocker will not help with these either. I simply read comments on any free app and Always look at permissions before installing.
If one still slips by, I uninstall intermediately.
All I'm saying is, if it's a good app, why not support the developer? It's not like they charge you an arm and a leg for their app and you can install it on any device that is registered to you afterwards. Most apps only cost a few bucks anyways.

It sounds like what you are describing is a VERY annoying ad service called Air Push (puts ads in your notification bar). You can use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector to figure out which app it is and uninstall it.
If you are talking about in-app ads, then you need something like adblock, but keep in mind, ads are how devs get paid for their "free" apps...so unless you want to help support them all going pay, you might want to reconsider.

All you need to do is "long press" the notification and select "app info" and it will take you right to the app to uninstall it.
Get Add on detector from the play store and run it
It will tell which app/apps is the culprit so you can delete it

How the heck did non contact full name appeared when I dial their phone number????

So I dialed a number that was not in my contact list and somehow the person who I called name populated in the dial screen which made it look like it was one of my contacts. First and last name appeared.
How the heck did that happen? I can't find anything here as to how it happen.
I'm bugged out!!

Facebook syncing? Twitter syncing? That would be my best guess.
I know Facebook tried to sync my stuff from the get go

Exactly from what I saw they don't have one
Lol I'd bug in from that too. Wasn't Google doing some sort of Yellow Pages integration into KK? But I thought that was for local businesses, but not sure on that. Gonna search this out myself as well
