I think you have to enable it every time you install a rom, the settings are not stored afaik but i`am not 100 % sure about that
-EDIT- see http://support.google.com/nexus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2776865, it seems previous locations are stored after all.

I have had the long term problem of the low on space message, despite clearing many things to try clear space, I just can't get the problem to go.
I think the answer is to do a reset of the phone, but can't seem to sync my phone with HTC Sync to backup my contacts, photos, videos and other data that I have.
Anyone have any suggestions on what I could try?

No, sorry. To backup your data I would suggest to this:
- backup&sync your contacts and calendar with google mail
- the rest (photos, videos, music, etc.) is ususally stored an sd card, so copy this content to your computer

Tried the google option, only syncs my emails and won't sync my contacts.

Because I googled almos everything now, I have to ask here.
Did anyone have a problem with constantly apearing question about which application would like you to use even when you checked "always" about hundred times before?
It seems to happen every time but some cases when you do something again and again. When you stop, wait a while or do something else and then do the same again, you will be prompted again which application to use.
it makes me CRAZY!!! It lasts about a month and I HATE MY PHONE because of this. Imagine this while driving! %^&*$
Anyone, please help me.
I'm running LeeDroid 3.3.3 GingerBread (stable one) and it seems not connected to the system coz it started much later than flashing occured. I suppose that one of installed apps could break something or even the bloody market (it often "stucks" while getting pages - reboot makes it working again - and I have no problems with network - nope).
Noone knows anything about it?
If you've installed a new app which does the same thing as an app you already had, you'll have to reset the defaults again (e.g. if you install Opera browser, you'll have to choose which browser to use the first time you click a link from any app (i.e. the first link you click from the browser, the first link you click from within an email, the first link you click from within Tweetdeck, the first link you click from the search tool, the first link you click from a text message, the first... you get the idea). But once you've selected 'Always' that default should persist until you clear defaults/uninstall the app/install another app that has the same functions.
However, a brief moment spent Googling has led to the suggestion that defaults only persist where the app is stored on the phone memory. Have you moved the apps in question to your SD card by any chance? Try moving them back and see if that helps.

Exactly. And that's what i need to achieve. Mine "always" is ignored almost always.

Did not moved any of them, I like them in the phone memory as long, as it's only 55% full yet.
I suppose the problem is in storing the default. Something resets it or storage isn't available in time I'm making decision. But WHY? Or HOW? I cannot even guess, because I don't know specifics about storing default programs values... where or how they are stored.

I am not sure what file it is either but it sounds like the file gets corrupted so it reverts to a default. This can be caused from restoring system files, not doing a full wipe before flashing, a corrupted rom flash and backup, and like you said an app resetting it. So many things ciuld have gone wrong. I would try and start from a clean base. It may be a long road but it is the only 100% way to find it for sure.

How about additional info: application called "Home Switcher" which is supposed to know either default and possibilities, displays possibilities but claims that there is no default set at all!
I think that you have right that many things may be broken, but I'm almost sure that if it's somewhere in database file then only this database file needs a "reset". Why? Because I run this system daily and I'm almost sure that nothing in global is broken. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so.
So, any informations how default apps are stored on the system would help.
Great, no help at all. I suppose I will have to flash new rom to get rid of this another google sh*t.
As per title & screen shot; haven't yet, in the 1,5 month that I have the phone, been able to sync. And always thought it was a known issue.
Apparently it isn't? Please share the wisdom..
Edit: Solved! See (& thank) post #7.
As stated in another thread, mine works fine... I'll try if I can walk backwards through my Chrome and see if there's something that could've been missed.
But right now, my 4 year old daughter wants explain what Robin Hood is all about

Right then....
Try, in your Chrome, and open this page:
chrome://settings/syncSetup
(Settings - Personal - Advanced settings for your account)
Check if your bookmarks are set to sync and only passwords are set to be encrypted.... Your phone will give you the error, if there are no bookmarks to sync
edit: *I believe people check the option to encrypt all data, which seems to confuse the phone... ONLY passwords should be encrypted*

This is pretty easy to fix without losing any data.
1) Disable sync in Google Chrome
2) Remove stored sync data in the Google Dashboard: https://www.google.com/dashboard
3) Enable sync in Google Chrome making sure to only encrypt passwords.
4) Disable and enable browsing syncing on the Galaxy Nexus.

Have no idea if it works, since I haven't had the problem, but maybe it's worth a try?

That's what you need to do. I had to do that when I first got my gnex. Has been working fine every since, even through rom changes, ect.
One thing to note, when you clear the data from the dashboard, it takes a while to finish. so wait before going to the next step.
Step 3: here is where I found the problem! My bookmarks are encrypted! I don´t know how to turn this option off...

Should I do this on all computers that I'm syncing with or just one would do it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
HI, I have Modaco JB rom installed and am having trouble with Google Now not recognizing my local settings. When I ask for weather it tells me my location, but it is in C not F and there aren't any card settings. When I ask for Home (which I have set in my maps account) it takes me to the closest "Home" named business to my location. I don't have any customization at all (see pic).
I am using Google Apps and have web history turned on. Also all settings on my phone (time, temp, location) are correct. It isn't the rom as this is the second JB rom I have flashed and had the same problem with that one.
Any Help would be appreciated!!
I had this problem too. It turns out that Apps accounts need to turn Google Now on for it to work. I detailed the steps here:

Then you shouldn't need to do this. When I added my normal gmail account to my phone, Google Now automatically worked. When you started Google Now, did you get the little intro/wizard thing, or did it go straight to a search box? If you got the introduction, and whenever you pull up Google Now, you get the colorful banner on top, then Google Now already works on your phone.
If you're having trouble with the Knowledge Graph cards showing up, then you have a different issue regarding your language settings.

From what I've read, along with setting your search and location settings to the US, you'll have to enable Web History and Location History.
So my "At a glance" on the top of the home screen just suddenly stopped showing weather for some reason. Anyone else notice this or found a solution?

I had the same problems (But on a Oneplus 2 running LineageOS) and for me switching on location history fixed it. Maybe that's why using a new acount works too because it also switches location history on by default
