Currently running Newtoroot's Incredible 2 3D rom but this problem has occured on other roms I've tried as well.
When pulling up a contact using HTC's people app (or dialer) and clicking on 'View Home Address' it pulls up HTC map app instead of Google Maps. How do I force it to use Google Maps instead? When I do the same thing on my HTC Thunderbolt it uses Google Maps just fine. I searched but couldn't find a solution. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

Hi All,
Do anyone face same problem? When I use Jorte calender, I cannot sync the google task to jorte, it always hang on 10%, anyone can help?
Thanks!
No help but I've just installed Jorte and have the same problem. I have found out that if you go to Select List in the Task menu there is no option to select Google Tasks, only Local Tasks.
Which 'phones are you guys using?
I was using Jorte on my Huawei U8800 with no problems for about a month, and it was synchronising just fine with both Google Calendar and Google Tasks.
Now I've just gotten myself a HTC Desire Z and Jorte consistently fails to synchronise with Google Tasks (though the Calendar sync works fine).
When attempting to synchronise, it throws up an "access requested" dialogue. Clicking "allow" yields an immediate "Sorry! The process system has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" failure message.
Having scoured the web over the past half-hour or so, I find there're a lot of people complaining about the task sync problem, and they're almost all (the ones who've actually stated what 'phone they have) HTC users.
I've a feeling that in wanting to add functionality with Sense, HTC have inadvertently removed some of the core functionality. Not to mention the fact that Sense slows the 'phone right down (my Huawei has the same chipset & specs, yet it easily outperforms the Desire Z in both perceived smoothness and benchmarks - by an order of 25%!).
I'm looking forward to throwing CM7 onto the 'phone some time tonight, to see if that fixes things.
Edit: Just noticed this is in the Xperia Arc forum, so scrap the comments about HTC... But they still might hold true; Sony may have partially crippled Google functionality in the same way I think HTC did
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

Ok I know to clear data from an app such as Google maps it should be Settings > Apps > Maps > Clear data but this just doesn't clear my Google maps search history.
It's very annoying I have 6 searched places in my search that I just can't get rid of. I have even re-flashed fresh my ROM being Android Revolution HD and the search history from previous is still there.
Has anyone come across this or know of a solution?
Log in to google maps on your computer with the same account on your phone.
Click on my places and it should come up with a list of where you searched. Click on the little arrow next to the place and then hit delete.
Once your done go into settings and sync your google account on your phone and it will get rid of the places.
Hope it helps

Hi thanks but I logged into my Google maps from the same account from a desktop and none of the places in my Google maps search history were showing. All the same I deleted my history from Google maps from my desktop and synchronized but the history is still showing on my HTC One X.
I now have disabled Google search from my desktop and synchronized again and still the same history is showing on my HTC One X.
Its as if the search history is permanent on my HTC One X.
Would there be any specific file on my HTC One X that I could possibly delete with say root explorer where it could be remembering maps search history from???

It worked for me. I dont use google desktop.
The only other thing i can suggest is that you download history eraser and try to clear it that way.

I just tried with history eraser even that didn't work hmmm.
Something I notice is when logged into Google maps on a desktop in the search bar I can see these searches when clicking on the grey arrow on the right but going into delete history and clearing all doesn't get rid of them maybe this is a Google bug? I have also cleaned my desktop browser's with Ccleaner but these searches are still there in Google maps.
Edit: Just further to say I have tried Chrome in Incognito mode and the searches still appear so this can't be a browser cache or cookies issue. Really not sure how to resolve this....

Sorry im out of ideas. Maybe contact google if they can help.
It was Google - after clearing history from desktop it appears to take time before everything is erased even after syncing from phone.
Now those pesky searches that I couldn't get rid of have magically disappeared
Nice one
This has been happening to my phone for the last 3 days. When I press on microphone on Google search and say weather, a card pops up with the current temperature and forcast for next few days with a voice announcing the location and temperature . Now when I do the same Google presents me with a browser link showing max and min temp. I have enabled Google now, location access, disabled and enabled Google now, but it doesn't show up.
Anyone experiencing this problem? Any fix to it.
Clearing cache and data from application settings and uninstalling updates helps. Installing the latest version of Google search bring back the problem.

Google search is Google now, I'm not sure why you are making a distinction, unless you are using google search from the browser which you shouldn't. When I type weather into Google Now it shows me my current location weather. When I say Weather it shows me the same thing and announces it with voice.
PS> Seems you are using the old voice search app. Remove it and just use the Google app.
I'm using adw launcher and adw launcher comes with a Google bar by default in every screen which is quite useful. That is the one I'm using. That brings up the latest Google voice. Kinda sucks it's not working anymore. I will not be updating the latest Google search. And there's no talk back either.
PS. I know Google search is Google now now. And I'm not using the search bar.

I have a problem about 2-3 days now. The Google Serch (Voice) shows only web results and it cannot call phones or show the fancy results. Some examples:
1. Call Brother - Search in the web for "call brother" and not calling brother from my phonebook :silly:
2. Whats the Weather in Athens - Search in the web "Whats the Weather in Athens" and not showing the weather
I have clearing data, uninstalling the app and re-installing but nothing happend. :crying:
(Trinity-Vengeance ROM 4.0)
This is an issue most people are facing right now. I believe Google will release a fix for this soon (that's what I heard) it has something to do with the mandatory enabling of location settings for voice. I'm sure they'll figure it out soon, till then there's not much of a solution. You can try running your networks using a VPN, should work logically but not sure how it will stand practically
