[Q] Google now package tracking? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What do I need to do in order for Google now to show cards for packages I have coming in the mail? I use chrome browser on my tablet to check the status of my packages and thought Google now would automatically give me cards for that... But it doesn't. Am I missing something?

Somebody...anybody?

If you use gmail it will scan your email to get this info.

[Q]How can I unlink my Nexus7 from my google account

Ok so I just recieved my Nexus 7 last night and I'm very happy with it. So pleased I decided I wanted to order a second one for my wife. I would like to give this one to my wife and link it to her google account and when I get my new one from google play store in a week or 2 link the new one to mine. How do I go about linking this one to her account?

Google disables Nexus 7

Anybody knows what happens to your Nexus 7 after you reported lost/stolen? What does Google disables? How long does it take for Google to send you a new one?
Called Google and they say the 2 level department that handles losses usually takes 3-4 days for them to reply to you after you reply with "I CONSENT" which authorizes Google to disable your previous device. I am on day 4 so far nothing...
What exactly are they going to disable if never received it?

not 3g,no imei, how can they disabled it.
Mac address maybe. But its easy to change with Mac changer....
Why are you worried or curious as to what or how they'll disable a N7 that you don't have? I wouldn't care what disabling a N7 I didn't have entailed. Just curious.

Maybe it was linked to his/her account?

How could it be linked to their account when it never made it to their hands? Google shipped it but they never received it.

Mine was linked to my account when I received it (purchased through Play Store).

Linked to your account in terms of your email address for purchase history with the play store only.Google doesn't put anything on the device that would link you to it.
Mine too was linked to my account when I bought it

what do you mean by "linked"? It was "linked" before you even turned it on to sign in to your gmail? It already knew who you were before doing anything? Linked how?
There is an option when you checkout asking you if you want it linked to the account you checked out on. If you select yes they do add your account to the device before you get it.

Thanks...So you didn't have to sign in to Gmail? It was already loaded up ready to go?

The email account is setup and presumably all the apps are setup (saving you a few seconds maybe). It does still ask for the password before you can use it though.

Well when I buy a new phone/device and sign in to my Gmail all my apps start downloading and my account was never linked until I signed it.. Isn't that just the "way" it is?

I honestly don't know.
All I know is that the N7 I got from play store I checked the box to link to my account, the one I got from Curry's obviously didn't have the option.
The only difference between the two is that I had to enter my password into the linked one and had to enter my email and password into the not linked one. I could not see any difference whatsoever besides.

Ok, that's cool...thanks for the explanation. I'm seriously just trying to understand what's the big deal about Google disabling a device that I never received. Maybe the op did have the account linked....but I honestly can't see Google having that big of a security issue open by sending out devices that are linked already....for situations like this where the device doesn't get to the owners hands in delivery.

Google Account Help PLEASE

I deleted my main google account from my phone because I no longer use it and I'm using a different gmail account. That account is on my phone and trying to connect everything in the Android Play Store to it, but none of my apps are connecting to it in the Play Store.
How do I connect all the Play Store apps to my other account? Thx!

You probably want to contact Google and have them move the apps over. Don't think there's another way

No... just off of my phone is all.
Just got off the phone with them and they said, due to copyright reasons, they cannot transfer over the apps to the new account. So back on my phone is my old account, BUT I will have all syncing for it turned off.
I appreciate your help!!
Good to know. Copyright reasons... Ugh

i'm pretty sure you can use multiple g-mail accounts - even associated with the Play market

Corrected when I called Google they said that there's no way to do this because of some copywriting issue. That doesn't make sense at all since they have verified I am the same owner of both gmail accounts. So I just put my old gmail back on the phone and turned off everything from syncing so that I can just use it for the Play Store.

I had a similar issue, and I'm not sure exactly how it got fixed. Here's what I did.
1. Factory reset
2. Setup phone with new gmail
3. Add old account
4. Go to my apps in the play store and select the old gmail.
5. Download all apps
6. Remove old account from phone.
I followed these steps on my phone and all apps paid and free work fine with my new gmail.

Just give it a few hours to resync. Try removing and re-adding your Google account.

Nexus 4 Facebook sync

Hi All
I would like to know how to sync my contacts with Facebook. I need the profile pictures as contacts' picture.
Thanks for the help in advance
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
best sync app i know of
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
HaxSync is hands down the best contact sync for facebook. It will let you pick how accurate names have to be (similar spelling or exact, and everything in between), cropping the face, if the picture they have is too big and all in HD (no low res pics). Also lets you sync facebook calendar and contacts birthdays into their contact card and their timeline statuses.

Thank you all. Why Facebook does this sync? Isn't there a setting for that?

There's a LOOOOOOONG running issue between FB and Google over all of this...Google it for more info as it's too long to get into here!
Just a quick question..
Does these apps incorporate all those Facebook contacts into our phone's contacts which aren't there at present?
As in I have a number of Facebook contacts which aren't on my phone and i don't even want them to sync.... Just want the pictures of people in my phone through Facebook.

Ditto this. Plus, it is easy and quick to manually add/change a profile picture from FB to Google contacts. And this actually works better since on occasion some people insist on having a goofy @SS profile pic.

Hi, all
I am using Ubersync for facebook in my N4. It has imported all of my contacts but no phone numbers. How can i sync my facebook contacts with phone numbers to my Contact list. Normal sync thru the phone is also unsuccesful
