called google search not google now

Anyone know the new commands for the new cards?
Says I can make reservations...but I'm not able to get that one to work. Also, it says that it'll pull tracking numbers from my email, also not working.

I had to restart in order to get most things to work

It also shows cards if you get email notifications for items that have shipped. Nice update so far.

Nice, I did notice this yesterday on the update list.
One thing that still drives me bonkers is when I ask it to set a timer..
Like "set a timer for 10 minutes" it ALWAYS creates a NEW stupid alarm. Why cant Google just build in a countdown timer and have it run off that?
Its really annoying the fact it creates a new alarm for everything and doesn't delete when its done.

Launching apps only works with certain apps. Won't even launch Chrome.

Does the gmail integration work if I don't use the gmail app? I use K9 to keep all my emails in one ace.

They did update the clock app in 4.2 maybe they are intending for it to work there.

Possibly, though i'm running off the last RC of Liquid JB, and its using the CM10 clock in it :/
Wonder if I have to install a different clock in order for it work properly?
Does it set a timer within that 4.2 clock? or still set a new alarm?

Yes, I use the stock AOSP email for a unified inbox with my gmail and exchange, and it worked great. I do have the gmail app installed, but don't use it, you might need it on the phone for it to work properly, but it will do it without you even checking your gmail app.

Google Drive gone?

I'm not sure if anyone else has notices this or if it's just me. I have the deodexed OTA for 4.2. Just last night I noticed I can't find the Google drive app icon anywhere. It's not in the app drawer and it is ladle labeled as installed and I can access it by the way of the widget but that's it. I tried reinstalling it but no go. Anyone else having this issue?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Strange. Is the apk in/data/apps or in /system/apps?
OTA = over the air. I was unaware that Google OTA'd a deodexed update. Kewl.

Quite obvious it's the custom ROM based on the OTA, but I do enjoy the many ways sarcasm can be misused and from time to time I forget them. It is people like you who do a great service to the people of the internet.
But back to the topic, yes it shows up in the settings as a downloaded app but it does not show up in the system/app directory. But Google Play shows it's installed, I have the widget, and the app loads.

Clear cache and data. Who knows it might help.

Well I gave it a shot. I cleared cache and data, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it refuses to make an icon.

This might not have anything to do with this but Google might be diddling around with Drive itself. Just tonight I tried accessing (on my stock 4.2 GN) a shared company Drive spreadsheet that I just updated on Sunday and Drive was making it difficult for me (I.e., not recognizing the Google account and some other things). When I finally cleared it up (by logging off/signing in a few times), I was able to access and view the spreadsheet but not edit it (which what I need to do).
If it's any consolation, I wasn't able to edit it on the company iPad that's there for that purpose.
Again, it may be unrelated (and I'm still learning here) but in case that helps...

I added Google Drive under Web Storage in X-plore and it shows up and all my stuff is there.
I am running MMuzzy's 4.2 Verizon build.
Where did you get the widget?
Steve

The widget was just Google's widget that is added when you install the app. I remembered I had "add widgets to desktop" unchecked through Google Play so I selected it and reinstalled the app and it put an icon on my home screen, so that fixes my problem temporarily, as the icon is still missing from the app drawer and does not show the app in my system menu.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Don't you guys think that Drive should be a built-in app? It should be a natural part of the Android ecosystem. I don't think there are many people who don't use Drive, so it'd be more convenient to just make it a built-in app. This could bring in more support for it, too.

Facebook app update fixes contact syncing... Well sort of

First updated the app on my nexus 7 in which I don't have haxsync installed and was surprised to see my people app being full of Facebook contacts with pictures. Thought I could finally be rid of haxsync and then I updated my phone and well nope, no contact syncing. After further inspection I found something odd. On my nexus 7 I have a category in Facebook settings called "other settings" and underneath I have sync contact options. The "other settings" menu doesn't even appear on my nexus 4. Check it out

Nope, I don't have that menu on my N4... Last app update was 05.09.

I dont have that advanced settings
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I dont have it either. Can you get your facebook.apk from data folder and share it? Maybe its different app for Nexus 7.

Sure but where are user apps stored? I can locate the system apps but not use apps with es file explorer.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

Have you root on that Nexus?
If yes go to system files (if you cant access using ES use root explorer).Go to data folder then app and there are all user apps.

Facebook sucks. Lags all the time opposed to the iOS version.

Maybe you have big mess in your phone or just need to clean facebook cache? My facebook is working perfectlly.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled, same issue, my wife's phone, same thing. I tried about every idea I could possibly think of
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

but did you cleared cache before uninstalling? Before you uninstall press clear data button in app info. Also after you uninstall if you have root go to /data/data and look for com.facebook.katana and delete it also if you were using FB messanger look for com.facebook.orca and also delete it.
Hope this will help you.

I just went through, wiped cache, wiped data, uninstalled, and reinstalled and same damn problem... Ugh
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Thats very weird.. Maybe I should first ask you but what exactly is the problem with it? When is it lagging etc?
try to install these facebook apps. The are black themed but will se does it help or not.

Lol nothing is wrong with it, contact sync just doesn't exist on my phone. The option to sync contacts is present on my tablet but not on my phone as seen in the first post which doesn't make sense since they are the same app
Edit : I just realized what happened. Someone came in and complained about the app lagging and somehow you and me got talking. Lol
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Same thing for me with Galaxy S+ not option for syncing contacts. The app is also otherwise really a piece of crap, very slow and consume really a lot of battery.

Just pulled the app from my Nexus 7, installed it, and still no sync option. I give up, this is something on their end. Just wish there was a way to talk to facebook support. They always ignore my emails
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

did you try to activate facebook contact sync in settings-accounts first?

Yep, I've tried everything I can think of. Oh well, haxsync works good enough for now I guess. Just would be nice to not have 2 apps for Facebook purposes.
I keep thinking does the htc first have sync problems? I wonder what the GP who grabbed that phone thinks when they don't have any contact pictures in the dialer app.

Wakelocks

Dude read posts.
Turn off any notifications like Tapatalk, Facebook, etc...
Google settings like location services.
Learn hpw to manage apps and close them out properly. Every once in a while I'll go through TouchWiz Manager and end all apps even though I know some of the apps I haven't even opened or they might just still been opened up.
Like I said your maps app is taking location which kills your battery faster.
Your email app is probably on auto sync which means it's constantly syncing itself constantly on a connection that is constantly getting information back and forth hence killing your battery.
Beautiful widgets if that is also on auto sync which means it's taking your connection again and constantly syncing for info and data.

Not at all. Its not too much of a big deal I mean I just still go into my email app and just hit refresh just to see if there's anything new and is much better for battery life than having to be on auto sync because Its not constantly having to sync every second.

I suggest going to the link in my signature and reading the ENTIRE OP. You will then better understand these specific wakelocks and how to better manage them.

Google+, Hangouts and Snapseed updates

Hi guys, did you see the google+ event? I think some things they presented are really cool (hangouts SMS feature, the new HDR effect in snapseed and the various auto enhance modes), but I didn't catch up something? When will these updates be avaible? Today or maybe when kitkat will be released?

From what I read, the update to Hangouts will be rolled out today. Not sure about the rest.

Google wasn't clear at all when we should be expecting any of these updates. I hope the roll out starts today, I'm extremely excited for everything they announced.

I really like the new features of hangout!!! Can't wait to try it.
