I'm using CM7RC1v2 and I'm having troubles choosing a different navigation app in the contacts by clicking the address...it always opens Google Maps.
I tried deleting the default settings...but it's greyed out.
I deleted Google Maps but then nothing opened when clicking the address....
I tried deleting the default settings from my other navigation app but that was greyed out as well.
Any idea?
So, no clue anyone?
Hello again,
right now I installed cm7 from scratch (not only due to this bug but performance issues). Unfortunately it had no impact: I still cannot link any navigation app to my contacts addresses!
edit: seems to be a bug in the navi software...another one worked.

I have location issue using foursquare, my location is blocked at some point and even if I go the 10km distance in Foursquare appear my old position. I dont know if is a issue with the app or the phone.
Note: I tried "Force Stop" and "Clear Data" for the Foursquare and the problem is not solved after I login and get back into the application.
If I open Maps location is indicated correctly
same here

I have tried now and also The weather channel app cant find my location
* to specify: GPS is not activate
Any other people have this issue
Forgive me for being a noob but what's foursquare?
I know it's not a circle but please tell so I can verify as well.
Edit; I already figured it out myself.
It's an app available in the Playstore of Google.
Btw @Op, I think this thread is opened in the wrong section,
this is general section and you are discussing a app, so why you didn't open in app section?
That's why it confused me, I taught it was kind of GPS hardware or something.
Thanks!
I had this issue a couple of weeks ago both with the weather app and Foursquare, also the maps location was correct for me.
The problem disappeared after rebooting the phone. Have you tried that?

Yes, is working after a reboot for a while but after some days the problem appear again. I think is a problem from the phone, not the several weather apps and foursquare.
I also have had this problem.
Anyone has resolution?
Hi.
Since 4.2, google navigation is unable to locate me on the map. As a result it just doesn't work and stay on "locating your position" or something like that.
If I use other gps based app (such ingress, car home ultra, etc....) those app have no problem to find me accurately.
I've tried clearing cache and data in the app section of control pannel. Also in the recovery mode but no success.
I use the latest map app version
I use stock rom for yakju 4.2 on a galaxy nexus
------------------EDIT WITH THE SOLUTION-------------------
Thanx to @Enforceman here's the solution:
-on main page press the search bar at the top (box written Google following of a mike symbol). This will open Google Now
-then Google now will tell you that location service is currently Off.
-You will have a link to a setting menu to turn it on
-Go in that menu and turn it on.
THERE IS IT. YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE A WORKING GPS with google apps.
What Google should have done at first is that after the OTA at reboot they should have put a windows asking if we would like to turn on that feature. After a clean wipe it will work because they explain google now. But not after the ota......anyway it is done, it work, that's all that matter for me

Anyone having this issue?
I've aslo noticed that the camera app can't get geo-location infos.....but Camera FX does.
So it is really something about the google apps! Any non-google apps work perfectly with GPS and the GPS test app work fine.

I had this issue too. Other GPS apps would locate me but Google maps would not after 4.2 OTA even though location services were turned on in settings. Apparently, that setting is for non-google apps and there is another setting switch somewhere for google apps.
I found a fix after I noticed that my Google Now cards were not working. I clicked on the top search bar which brings up search and google Now. At the bottom there was a message that said my location access was turned off. I clicked on that and then clicked on the settings link that it had.
It brought me to a new white setting screen with a switch for location access which i switched to ON. It seems that this specific switch has to be on for google apps to access the GPS.
Works now. Hope that helps

Hey guys,
I am facing a very weird problem with my SGN2. We have and inbuilt Google search app in our mobile. The one which we can access through the app, widget or by long pressing Menu button while on the Homescreen. This is a multiple search function which helps you search for your apps in the phone as well (Assuming you have selected apps in the settings under phone search)
However it has suddenly stopped searching for the apps. It searches for everything like contacts, music tracks, bookmarks, and other options I have chosen in phone search but somehow it just does not show my apps! :silly:
Can you guys please help me with this.. Any help is much appreciated
Cheers
Edit:
Never mind guys, I worked out the solution... Works for me atleast.
1. Go to Settings
2. Go To Application Manager
3. Go to Google Search (If you have 2 then go to one with blue icon) and select it
4. Force Stop the application
5. Clear The Date
7. Restart the App
And Everything is working :victory::victory:
I could have sworn that before the update I could use the ok google detection anywhere (after I enabled it search settings). I tried it again, and it's grayed out in the Search, Voice settings in Google Search. Only the top main option to enable OK google voice allows me to toggle it on or off.
Are you sure you weren't using Google Now launcher?

Disable S Voice in app management, reboot, then go back to Google Now settings. It shouldn't be grayed out anymore.
Woot! Your response led me on the right path. I am and was using the Google now launcher, but the reason I kept referring to Google Search (which is actually just called Google in the app store) is because I thought it was a separate app responsible for the search functionality and that it hooked into the Now launcher. So I uninstalled the standalone Google app, rebooted phone, and now the option is no longer grayed out in the voice detection section of the Now launcher settings.
I think it's strange that Google allows the Google search app to coexist and override the built in Now launcher search functionality (or at the very least seems to pull the standalone Google search app's settings when I try and configure them through the Now launcher)
I'm sooo confused right now. What I uninstalled was just an update. The "Google" search app is still installed and asking me to update it, which means it came built in to the firmware. Aarrghh!
I updated it, and the option for OK Google functionality anywhere in the phone (different apps, screen off, etc) now became grayed out again. So its' at least linked to that it seems. I also don't get the ability to train the OK Google voice recognition (also grayed out) with the updated Google (search) app. The stock, original firmware version of the app does allow it. Aggravating!
Yup I noticed the same thing, the ability seems broken after the update.

I followed the advice to disable the s voice app through the application manager, rebooted... And forgot to check it till today. Yes! Its working. I'm 99% sure it was disabling s voice that did it, and 1% possibility it was an a background google update... So I'm leaning toward the s voice fix.
Thank you to the 2nd poster above with the recommendation. Fixed it.
Hmm. My svoice is enabled and I am able 'ok google' from anywhere. Including the lock screen. I haven't actually used svoice since the update so I will try it and then see if ok google still works from everywhere.
I can 't force stop or disable S-Voice and OK Google options are grayed out. Any ideas?
In the past I was not able to disable s voice through the application manager, but this time I was.
A couple of possibilities I can think of. In the s voice settings, disable any available options that may be enabled, such as activating it via home button, etc. (Don't recall all the various settings now because it's gone completely from my application settings section)
Also, go into the Security settings of the phone and make sure s voice is not listed as a Device Administrator. I've noticed that apps can't be disabled or uninstalled as long as they're listed in this section as device admins. As usual reboot after just in case, and check if you can disable it then.
I haven't modified anything on the phone other than manually disabling a bunch of apps through application manager and replacing touchwiz with the Google Now home screen.
