Google Now sports cards - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I know Google Now is for people in the "US Only", but is there any way to get it to show international sports teams?
People in the US can't be interested in domestic sports only, surely?

No matter what I do, it won't show me any beloved Tottenham info - I think us football types are out of luck. Searching for a baseball team added it instantly.

glad it's not just me, I can't understand why they'd limit it to domestic sports though, especially with all their (USA) sports lovers and sports channels, seems very short sighted by Google

well it makes sense, why would ANYONE ever want to see spurs information?
/troll

I'm thinking the team has to be currently in season because I can't get NFL teams but my baseball team showed up immediately.

Season Has To Start
The season has to start first you wont get any info till then once it starts you'll get your Spurs, Leeds info

Can't add any teams, in the UK but want to add the Red Wings...nothing...don't see the logic in even thinking about putting region restrictions on stuff like that!

I really wish they would add support for NCAA teams. I was so excited to use Google Now for my Spartans, but no dice

I do believe that as of this past wednesday, you could add teams, I added Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona, Real Madrid and of course the San Francisco Giants...

Added Barcelona and I see cards for them. Added West Ham, no cards. Even though they are on there and selected.

Really wish they would add the 72 other professional English teams, football isn't like American sports, there's no franchises, teams are representing their city, they can be relegated and promoted, teams in the lower divisions can get much higher attendances than some of the top division teams, seems silly that they would leave out the majority

I'm sure they will update the app and bring more sports to it and more teams.

So Excited To Be Back!

Found an original Focus semi cheap while I'm waiting on the 32GB Galaxy Nexus and the 900 to be released. So I'm moving back here for at least a couple weeks. Last time I was on WP was just when Mango dropped. Looking around YT and our WP app section. I feel like a kid in the candy store. So many users and new apps. Good to be back, I really really enjoy this OS.
Anything cool I should check out? (Vable Browser looks Chrome-ish!)

Depends - what you are looking for? games? navigation? tips?
Play with tellme some. Ask it weather in san fransico. Say start app. Say find "insert address here) and you'll see the map program come up. Say find pizza (or if indoors and no gps find pizza (your city name)
There is so much to play with - you have to give us an idea where you want to go 1st.

Anywhere dude. I'm really missed "Hello everybody I'm George Ponderer for WPcentral." Listened to everything on thier YT channel last night. I just went back into my WP account and cleaned that up. Looking for a decent TBT Nav app. Got a couple browsers listed to try. Put Ziggy on the list. What's cool? What apps do you have on your WP?

I'm an app whore lol.
The best offline TBT would be navigon. It's 3d also and the most expensive. For 2d, turn by turn works good (online one is pretty cheap) Built in bing works great also but doesn't auto voice announce.
Grab an app called AppFlow.
It will show you the trends and has good recommendations.
Freda is good ebook reader
Keyring for keeping shopping barcodes
Urban dictionary is hilarious along with I LOL'D
theChive is good
xda forum app of course
The most used ones that i use for keeping up with WP7 and technology are WP7 News (Which rocks as it scans like 2 sites for news) and Tech news now
If you like four square, 4th and mayor is the best.
...I'm a WP7! rocks
Amazing weather or weather channel are great weather apps.
Forward contact is great to share contacts with via qr code and scanning with bing vision (no bluetooth needed to share a contact)
Titan is a great FREE game.
That is just some i could think of.
If you're into twitter check out Carbon (other thread about it)
The devs are planning a sweet update too.
If you're looking for a beautiful weather app use Weather View (former called Vädret).

I never said it wasn't the #1 sport in the world.
I will put this forward though, maybe it is the #1 sport in the world because all it requires is a ball and your foot to be able to play. Because of this just about anyone can play it and get into it whereas most other sports require a lot of equipment and cannot be played or enjoyed by as many because of that.

That's a terrible argument, football and basketball only require a ball as well.
Back to OP yeah barça over Madrid any day.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
It was not meant as an argument nor point of fact but as an observation and possible reasoning to it's popularity.
Personally I do not understand it's popularity. It is a fun sport to play but I cannot get into it when watching it.
I am getting along with everyone, and besides, there is nothing wrong with having a bit of fun by saying soccer sucks

And how do you spect some people to take your first comment, just cause 99% of americans are not into soccer, it means the sport sucks, they claim their sports ar better just cause they're not culturized enough to open their views towards other cultures, english is not the only language in this world, your sports are not the only ones played, only in your country are number one, american football, baseball are not worldwide sports that doesnt state they generaly suck even if i think that they potentially do, point is keep the fact of generaly criticize something to yourself on a topic that obviously you dont care, yet you had to stick your nose into it

Looking for early adopters and technology innovators....ie Galaxy Nexus owners =)

If you like P2P, want control of your privacy, and think social has gone to sh!t, then we want to talk to you!
Despite the pervasive nature of social networks and the hyper-connectivity of our mobile devices, "social" has become, ironically, a very impersonal and isolating experience. It is time to take "social" back to its roots, which we strongly feel should be more personal, engaging, and "analog". We have built a platform and some applications that facilitates real-life interactions through common interests, and I'm looking to sit down with forward-looking people who want to participate in early Beta testing and give us frank/honest feedback. The application leverages a lesser-known feature that is available for the very first time in Ice Cream Sandwich, and I believe it will upend how people discovery/share/interact with others.
I am thinking about hosting pizza/beer nights a few days a week (in and around the SF/Bay Area) so I can meet and get to know some of you beautiful people, and wax the philosophy of why we do what we do =) If you're interested, love technology (and have a Galaxy Nexus), and want to play with a cool new app before it goes live on the app store, send an email to info at ekatasystems dot com!
Hope to see some of you folks in the wild!
ps you can check out our website a www dot tapestry-app dot com, but don't sign up from the website for the meet-up!
I don't live in the area so I can't attend, but I did sign up for private beta access. I'm very interested to see what your app will bring.
Same here. Looking forward for testing and more info on the subject)
We will launch the basic version of the app before Google IO, but wanted to get some feedback before then. Will let you guys know!
Anyone in the Bay Area, particularly Mountain View, Palo Alto, Los Altos, Sunnyvale, Menlo Park, San Jose, San Francisco, etc seeing this post?
looks cool...i'm really good at finding bugs and do live in the bay area....still in high school....
can test the app for you though
ezcats, it doesn't matter if you're in high school or a convalescent home. If you like gadgets and like to share pictures (at least for the first app), then you're part of the family =)
Drop me an email directly (info at ekatasystems dot com), so I know who you are....I've gotten 20+ requests submitted from the website, so I have no idea if they are local....
If you're willing to pick me up from the airport I guess I could fly out there since I work for an airline. lol
oh and did I mention we're looking for summer interns for QA? =)
Wow I'm surprised free pizza and beer didn't garner more attention.
interesting
I am very curious, count me in. I live in NY so no pizza and beer for me lol.
Got a ton of responses...one more bump to try and catch some Bay Area folks!
I live in the SF bay area and would be willing to test your app out!
This sounds right up my alley...too bad I'm on the opposite coast. Don't know that pizza and beer is enough incentive to make the trip =)
Sadly on the east coast too :'(

[Game support] Ingress Thread....

I think it's time to make this thread as there are millions of people on the game that is still in beta.
The game is Ingress and it's an augmented reality game where two factions fight it out for all man kind. Taking control of portals and working with your faction to create mind fields is the goal, the Enlightened want to conform to a collective in mind control and the Resistance wants to rid the collective mind control for humanity.
The story can be found on line at: www.ingress.com but this thread is designed to assist on the basics, it would be unfair to favor one side over another as tactics of the game are only shared with the respective factions.
Do Not post personal information here, this game puts you in a real life proximity of other players and with that in mind it is easy for something to get personal in real life even though it was not intended.
This is a place to better understand the game itself and to collaborate for the community to learn everything involved.
I do not have any control over beta codes nor does anyone else in our community, don't ask and do not try to share your account or you will be banned, they do know everything you do in the game. Do not try to sell codes given to you by Ingress as they have been known to give out batch codes that are intended to be shared not profited from.

To get an invite you need to be creative, you go to your Google+ account and friend Ingress then create an image or anything supporting ingress in it and post it using these shouts.
@ingress
@ingressinvite
@inhressenlightened
@ingressresistance
Make sure it's publicly viewable so others can add comments to it and the better the idea the better your chances are, the ingress site email link isn't being watched but if you watch ingress on G+ you will see they release codes in batches try to time it in those posting times.

Great idea for a thread. I'm playing the game and I just love it. I'm sure I miss a lot of options though.

There are a few really good features on the desktop as well, they keep adding stuff in though. The one I thought was cool was on the desktop login when your on the map if you go over to the right and you see the +/- to zoom in there's a little yellow image of a person if you go over it with the mouse it will lean over to the left. Drag and drop that little yellow guy and it will give you street view of the location your looking at.

The codes are only good for a few seconds now, there's a plug-in you can download for chrome desktop that notifies you the second a code releases but it depends on how many people use it so you have to be quick about it. Go to chrome app store and search for the Ingress plugins, there's 2 of them but remember to go in settings and choose for notifications to be displayed in the top right corner. If you don't it will cover the area you have to type in the code.
There are a few places you can get info for the game, I just figured I would give the section a base location for XDA GS3 members to ask questiins and get answers that you don't have to go all over to find simple facts.

They were cool in the beginning because you got what you needed instead of hoping the farmed portals kick you back something. Now it's like pulling teeth to get anything from the portals and unless your one of those that enjoys decrypting code your kinda outta luck. Once in a while a code works but now that everyone gets the auto responses you'll be lucky to get a chance ti put ut in.

I've noticed more people reporting that they are having a hard time getting portal keys so I'm gonna post this trick I learned a few weeks back.
You go to a portal you already have a key to and need another for that portal, make sure your just out of range to hack the target and drop the key you have for that portal. Give it at least one minute for the server to register that you dropped the key then back out of ingress, turn on ingress again and you should see the portal and the key close together , now make sure the target circle only boarders the portal and NOT the key you dropped and hack the portal you should get a key. Once you get it retreave the key you dropped. Now you have a second key to give to someone else.
I've been able to get up to 5 keys on the same portal it doesn't always cough up a key the first time you try it but it will by the second attempt because you don't have one in your items. Good hunting.

Oh that. The iPad thing. It's probably a 1st gen piece of crap anyways. Which is why they don't mind giving them away. They could be refurbished after cracking them open to get some Apple secrets. I mean a million explanations! We dunno.
I didn't really see that as promoting competition because the company is definitely benefiting more from getting the developer than care about an iPad.

So what? You have to create an account for alot of employers. Fred Meyer, McDonalds, a bunch of places. They use it to keep your user profile and sometimes to keep past applications. By the way, the way I know you don't know for sure is your use of the word "probably".
This is shady as shady gets. They're CLEARLY going above and beyond to sell you on why you should do this. They sound way to desperate. To each there own, but I wouldn't risk it...#SCAM.

okay sir. everybody else is wrong and you are right. this is totally legit. we should all give our personal info to some random site because every body knows that everything on the net is totally trustworthy.
not.
Check it. I'm not trying to prove anyone right or wrong. I just want people to cite what they say. Have some proof and all that. If it's a scam, then someone should report it to the browsers (IE, Mozilla, Google, etc.) so they can stop people from going to it. Let them check it out. Don't just burn on it to burn on it no matter how many "leading" points there are. The only way to know for sure is to go and do it. Someone use a fake email and name and see what happens to it once they "steal" it and whatnot. Feel me?
