Problem with Places app - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently, when using the Places app, I will put something in the search,say like McDonald's, and I will only get 1 result which takes me to the page with all the reviews,the phone number, and directions. Previously, I would get multiple results of all the McDonald's that were close to my location. This happens with any business chain and I can't figure out what's wrong.

Did this come from an App ?
Someone just texted you, either randomly or you gave them your number. Keep in mind many apps can see your phone number, like the Facebook app for example. The Facebook app in some cases actually lets your friends facebook apps, not Android apps but Facebook apps through the Android app, see your number.
Just ignore it. On other carriers I would recommend blocking the number but it really doesn't matter since you have unlimited texting on sprint. You can block numbers easily on sprint and on google voice though, so if it is bothering you just block the number on sprints website or on the google voice site, depending on which you use.

Be sure to add them to your block list as well.
So if I login to sprint I can set call filters?
That Google voice should I set it up?
I thought I didn't need it?
Got a text like this too... Maybe 2 a month. Just found out sprint charged me for one international text. Must be an app causing this. Either way I suggest saving it if you ever receive another, in case sprint wants to charge. Or just bomb the number.

What's the name of the text bombing app lol?

I don't recommend bombing the internatioal one.. That could be kinda spendy.

Google it my man, found mine within 20 seconds of reading this thread... even came with a QR Barcode, used Google Goggles and didn't even have to mess with the SD card

google maps

Let's see if I can explain it....
When I was on GB, I was using Maps (NOT Navigation) and it
would SPEAK the street names.
Now, on ICS I can NOT use maps as main navigation, but you
have to actually push "navigate" button to go someplace (and "navigation"
is NOT speaking the street names).
What I'm trying to say is, before the Maps will SPEAK the name
of the street, but now it does NOT!
Anyone knows what changed?
you could try clearing map cache, force close, and restarting the app
Thanks but that didn't work.
I fired up Telenav and it works good, speaking out the street names.
But I want to use Google Maps like I used to, with spoken street names.
I think in the last update they took away that feature.

Clearing the data did not work.
However, I fixed it.
What happened is this...
I use Ivona text to speech engine, and I moved it to the SD card.
After that it did not read anything anymore, including the street names in Maps.
I restored Ivona back to the phone and now it reads everything OK.
Thanks for your time and answers.

Need a good remote access app?

I left my phone at home, I need a good app where I can use a web browser to access my phone or even remote access my phone from any computer so I can check my missed calls and text messages.
Thanks

I guess the ultimate solution would be to port your number to google voice. You would never have to worry about that again.
1. Get text messages and send text messages from your email, google voice on your tablet or computer in real time and all text messages are free.
2. In a couple of clicks reroute all your calls to whatever phone is nearby. Or do what I do and ring my desk phone and my cell phone at the same time. You can also use a OBI100 to have a home phone line with google voice if you want and no carrier minutes are used.
3. Your number is yours forever. Never have to port it again. Switching carriers is fast and easy.

This seems to be the only real ANDROID remote access app, allowing you to control your ANDROID phone from your computer, not the other way around. It can be a little finicky, but it is extremely full featured and well worth paying for. Now if I understand correctly you left your phone at home, theres not really a way to get into it without first installing and setting up this app. You could install it through the web play store, but you have to set it up for it to work.
Well, might as well set it up when you get back to your phone so you can have it next time!

[Q] Apps disappearing

For some reason my xda forum app keeps getting uninstalled. I have it in a folder on my home screen, and it's still there but when I click it it opens the play store with the option to install.
Possibly related, my yahoo account keeps getting dropped. I don't get any email and when I open yahoo it makes me login again. And there's tons of email.
Another odd bug I've noticed is the first word swipe typing is usually way off and always a much smaller word the word I wad going for? God I hate not having root
Any info is appreciated
No one else has had any of these problems or knows how to fix them? Bump
Some how it got installed to sd instead of device. I moved it to the device. Hopefully that fixes it

com.amazon.nyota trying to send SMS

I just got a couple of notifications that this app (com.amazon.nyota) was trying to send a load of messages and I had the choice of allowing it or denying it, so I denied it.
This happened while I were looking at the battery usage in settings. Unfortunately I didn't think to screenshot the occurrence, but I've attached the process for the app in question.
The name suggests to me that it's something to do with OTA services, but I'm uncertain and a search on the internet didn't produce anything...
Has anyone else had this issue?
