Has anyone seen a Google now package card for shipped packages? I've gotten at least six emails from different sites in the past week or two and I haven't seen a single card informing me that a package has shipped. I've seen one on my girlfriends GS3 out of here four orders that have shipped. I'm wondering if the business needs to have some sort of presence known with google or something. I opened an issue for it if anyone wants to comment or star the issue.
Google now cards do not show for shipment/shipping/tracking information
Maybe it would be best to just list the business(es) that you have or haven't received an email from.

That is actually the only one I've seen and that was on my gf's GS3, other than that we've seen none.
They're coming to your Gmail, right? I know you probably know that they can only scan GMail, but it doesn't hurt to check.
EDIT: Read your posting on Google, looks like you've got it covered.
Got one for my Etsy order and one for my Amazon. Working fine here.
I'm having the exact same problem. I've had a good half dozen ship notices hit my Gmail in a little over a week, including an Amazon shipment today. Not a single package card. In fact, I haven't gotten any Gmail related cards at all.
Well looks like it doesn't actually matter from which companies the emails are from then since some users have reported cards and no cards with Amazon shipments.
Do you guys have gmail setup to automatically sync or do you manually sync it? I manually sync to save battery life. I'd think it wouldn't be based on our phones though and would be based off of mail.google.com

Same here. Several packages in the past few days and no Google Now cards.

Yall do have that card turned on in settings right?
Works for me, I just wish it had real time tracking info such as a delivery date & "delivered" confirmations. I received something yesterday it is still showing the card for. It wouldn't be hard for them to fix it so it works right, I mean this is a good start, but it's practically useless considering I have the same info in gmail. The idea of Gnow is to present info we need without searching, the way the package cards are set up now does not meat that criteria, it just copy/pastes whats in your gmail. I still have to search the tracking manually.
Not working here either on any of my devices - GS3 with CM10, Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus.
Not sure what could be the issue. I did star your issue though
Yes, it's turned on. I have pretty much all cards turned on, and only see most just occasionally, other than the directions/navigation card for places I've searched. To date I've NEVER gotten a single Gmail related card to come up. And my Gmail is auto-sync.
For reference, stock, unlocked, rooted 4.1.1 (toro).
Google Search 2.1.12.516912
Gmail 4.1.2
Strange. My auto-sync is also on (usually), I do sometimes toggle it off when I'm going out and want to conserve battery life. I am on CM10 but that shouldn't matter. Only other thing I can think of is my amazon purchase emails come in as "important", not "stared" but "important". Not sure why that would matter but who knows..
Same issue as OP, wondering if there is a fix. Since the last update the only "new" feature I have seen in Google now was a new story I guess I was interested in about the Nexus 4. Once it disappeared it has been a little like a grave yard in there......
My theory is that some people might be using a modified gmail apk, for example the inverted one, etc, That might make them not get that card. I use the inverted apk n I never got a package card.
THIS. IS. NEXUS.

"Theory" is the key word. I have the stock app and have yet to see a package card from any place I have ordered since the updated Google Now was released. From the sounds of things, we're all in the same boat.

Same here
same problem MIUI wasabi rom
I have the same problem, I have seen one package card and received over 12 shipment confirmations over the past weekend. The 1 card I saw was last Monday.
Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) - stock
One caveat that I discovered. For the 1 card I received if I go into gmail on Chrome it shows the "package info - tracking number" side bar (right side). For all other confirmation emails with tracking numbers that side bar is not showing up. This side bar is essentially the information in the Google Now package card.
I am thinking these problems are directly related. So if I can figure out why the package info side bar isn't showing up then I can fix the Google Now problem as well. All confirmations came through Amazon including the first that works correctly and displayed a Google Now package card.
All of mine have shown tracking in the right hand pane in web-based Gmail and I have never seen package card. As an update, I have now tried on my just received Nexus 10 (4.2), and still no package cards. Same with my wife's Nexus 7 (4.1 and 4.2).

Hi,
I just got my Galaxy Nexus yesterday, and am using it on T-Mobile USA. It's working like a champ, except that I've noticed a few weird notifications. They are not texts - they are notifications, as if they are coming from some app.
My G-Nex (is that too crass?) downloaded a bunch of my apps automatically, so it could well be coming from one of those. A couple of the notifications I noticed almost immediately after installing Google Voice. I don't recall what they said, but they took me to a web page which looked like a Google page, but there was something not quite right about it.
Then, this morning I got a notification to "back up my contacts" - and it took me to a pretty shoddy graphic telling me to install something to back up my contacts.
I realise I'm not providing much details - but has anyone seen anything that sounds like this on their new Galaxy Nexus? I expect its coming from one of the apps it pulled down, but I don't know....
Most likely just some stupid app that auto-downloaded. I'd be interested to know which it is if you narrow it down.
Nope,
The only notifications i get are ones that you would expect - SMS,Email etc
EDIT: As it has been with all my android phones

I remembered reading about this kind of app-vertising (that is definitely too crass :]) in the notification bar. Take a look at this article from Androinica: How to disable ads in the Android notifications menu.
The situation sounds a lot like what you've described and it's troubling to see it crop up in the wild, as it were.
Note that I haven't had to use this myself, so hopefully the linked apps operate as advertised and can narrow down what has been installed on your phone that's opening up Airpush BS.
If that doesn't fix it, then your phone is definitely cursed and you should get rid of it immediately. I'll PM you my address so you can send it to me instead

Found it! Thank you for the link to "Airpush Detector." That, and a related app it pointed me to, "Addons Detector" both came up with "My Settings" by JQ Soft as using Airpush. I have used this very handy My Settings app for a long time on several Android devices, but I checked it's Android Market page and sure enough the latest update to "My Settings" last week, added Airpush ads. Boatload of people complaining and - deservedly - 1-starring it now. I will be uninstalling it promptly!
Thanks for the help, I'd never have tracked this down otherwise! Relieved my Galaxy Nexus is not infected with some spyware or virus (although you could argue that's exactly what this airpush crap is)!! Anyway, I'll uninstall "My Settings" and hope the problem goes away!
Rad-- I'm happy you got it all sorted out. Shame it showed up in the first place, but all's well that ends well!
P.S. Your phone may still be cursed. Mail it to me anytime
Back when I was on Gingerbread, the native Google Talk app would always pull up the messages I typed on another source, such as my PC or my tablet. If I typed a line on the PC, and go to GTalk on my phone later, the messages would just pop up one by one until finished.
With the Google Talk in ICS Galaxy Nexus, this no longer happens. The phone's Talk app only shows what I type from the phone, not the PC or any other sources.
Anyone noticed this? Is this by design? Can I get Talk to behave like it did in GB?
Are you saying that on GB you would type a message and not send it and when you opened up google talk on your PC the unfinished message would still remain??
Or are you saying that the messages you are sending onyour PC are not showing up as sent messages on your phone google talk??

On the other hand, I just got Nova and maybe I wasn't paying close attention to Google Talk when I opened it, but it seemed to have been online, so maybe issue is fixed? I'll test later on today, went through both extended battery and normal battery playing with homescreen layouts today.
Eitherway, I believe it's an incompatibility issue with ICS, or just permissions not being granted correctly, this is either fixed already, or can be fixed... just wish there was another person to confirm for us.

Doesn't fix my issue. That thread is about the phone not receiving messages when the PC one is active. I need messages sent on PC to show on the phone. Thanks though.
Just noticed some messages I typed on PC did show up on my phone, so it does still do it, but very inconsistently. Would like to know what the trigger is.
It's in the market, but it lists the Galaxy Nexus as incompatible. Prior reading has shown that this has been an on going issue on many devices (listing it as incompatible when in actuality, it would install fine and work fine). So I was wondering if anybody could post the APK file for the latest one (it's a free app, so I don't think this is against the rules, if it is please close the thread).
If this doesn't work, I was also wondering if anybody could make it compatible?
Please and thank you regardless!
Try Googling the APK. If its unavailable for the nexus to download then most of the people in this forum may not have access to it.
They also probably didn't update it for ICS which is why it probably shows incompatible. And it might be with the ICS drivers.

Funny, I didn't know what this BlueAnt app was until I bought one today and went looking for the App in the "Play Store". Did a google search and this thread popped up that I previously replied too. lol.
Seems to be working fine as far as the app downloaded manually from their website. Using it now, although it seems useless outside of "reading text messages".
But I'm having a problem with Name Announce. I went through a Jawbone which claimed to do it... and used several 3rd party apps to try to make it work, until I gave up and got this. I've synced my phonebook 3 times now but my work number, under "Corporate", but when I call it just says the number.
I use Email for exchange which syncs my work contacts into my gmail contacts. I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. I'm going to try to delete the work number and re-create it under my gmail listings and see if that works.
[UPDATE]
Funny that worked. It won't sync my work exchange contacts, thus just reads the number. I would have to manually delete all the exchange contacts and physically add them in under my personal Gmail contacts.
This would work, but part of using the exchange is that it automatically keeps everything up-to-date with new/old employees.
I guess its time to report a bug to BlueAnt. Personal name announce is a step in the right direction at least... and I moved my main corporate number over so at least it covers 90% of my inbound work calls. We work in the field so I do get lots of calls from cellphones, which in this case wouldn't name announce.
Just a heads up for XDA and Google reference.
Howdy,
Before I upgraded to CyanogenMod 9.0, I would get a Google Voice message notification for a text message. I'd go into the web version of Google Voice, answer the text and then after a bit, the notification would go away on my phone.
Now switched to CM9 and the notification doesn't go away unless I answer the text on my phone or clear it out on the phone.
I've tried GummyNex and CM9 and they both do it.
Has anyone else seen this? I've done the thing where I've uninstalled GV, did the *73, deleted all the Verizon VMs and the reinstalled GV but it still does it.
Don't think its related to your ROM as I'm having the exact same issue on stock 4.0.4 and have always been on stock. Seems to have started a couple weeks ago....
Been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what's going on and was about to start a thread myself asking if anyone else had the issue. Thought I was just crazy at first, but I know for a fact this is not how the app acted before. I've tried changing all kinds of things for my browser use of voice.google.com, deleted/re-installed the app, and nothing works.
I'll be texting using just the browser for a bit and look at my phone and I'll have a notification for "25 Google Voice Messages" or whatever. They never clear. I notice that when opening the GV app to the thread I'm texting in, it hasn't synced in the background, and takes a few seconds for the messages I had sent to show up in the thread. It seems as though Google Voice isn't getting background sync anymore.
Aww man So it was just highly coincidental that it happened around the same time I switched over to a different rom.
It's surprisingly frustrating for such a little thing. I just use it so much that it forces me to check the phone and clear it manually to make sure I don't *actually* have a new message when I'm using both my phone and the web app.
Argh.
Yeah - nothing I've found has fixed the issue.

Yes I think it's actually a coincidence as I said I've been on stock and it all of a sudden stopped working as it was. This is just really weird because there's been no update to the app or anything.
It's extra frustrating because Google Voice is my primary #, so I'm doing about 99.9% of my texting with it, and really enjoy being able to use voice.google.com. Dealing with clearing GV notifications every time I pick my phone up is very lame.

I don't know.. I agree though that the problem just comes and goes, which is odd. Just a couple weeks ago they weren't clearing for me, but right now it's working fine. I remember thinking that's it's ridiculous this happens on stock firmware

Even moreso ridiculous if this is a known issue and they haven't addressed it even with these several early 2012 updates to the GV app, which made it a lot better overall in UI and UX. I just don't see how it can come and go with no changes whatsoever to your settings.
Mine definitely does the same thing... I thought it used to clear them for me, but I wasn't sure, and figured I was just thinking of how Google Talk clears the messages.
Not a huge deal to me, but it would definitely be nice if they would fix this. Our best bet is to make a post on the help forums with a bunch of posts in it.

I really wish there was a better way to get stuff like this fixed.
Bit late to the party. Just wanted to chime in that in my experience I don't think I've ever seen the GV notification clear itself after checking the web interface on my computer.
I've been using android for a year now and have gone through 3 phones and the asus transformer tablet. My current phone is running a CM9 based rom, but still it doesn't clear these notifications.
Man, I'd love it if it did.
Note: I think that if you use the GV widget, you will see that the notification on the widget DOES clear after checking the web interface (or at least it did in GB because I just tested this on my current phone and widget doesn't clear it either). I suppose this means that GV is pushing the "read" status of an sms to our phones. The notification on the notification bar, however, still persists despite this.
EDIT: Given my last test on my current phone, it looks like the widget doesn't clear the notification like it used to on GB. It looks like it is, in fact, a syncing issue.

I can confirm that it actually did used to clear when viewed on another device, and this is the intended action. It should work exactly like an IMAP e-mail account (say, the GMail app). If you view a message on the device or in a web browser, it is cleared as read on the other. Google Voice used to do the same, and stopped doing so randomly. It's completely a backend problem.
Really wish they would fix this. Still happening on JB. Very annoying for those of us who text from the web all day.

So basically my SIM contacts which I manually entered one by one disappeared once again today... (The reason I manually entered my contacts is because I changed my SIM to a microSIM and my carrier ROGERs refuses to transfer it for me...)
Running all stock Rogers ICS, no root no nothing..
This disappearing issue was present on all my other Galaxy S3s from Rogers which I exchanged due to flimsy battery cover (hairline cracks) and WiFi random disconnecting issues...
(**Note: ticking display only SIM contacts do not work, ticking another display option and switching it back to only display SIM do not work, rebooting the phone do not work, removing the battery do not work, and syncing option turn on and syncing do not work..)
The issue will be solved if I remove the SIM card and reinsert it, or factory reset the phone. By doing this, it is a temporary fix, I realized that all my SIM contacts will disappear again after a few days.
The only way I can prevent this is to save all my contacts in my Phone Memory or in the cloud Google Sync (I don't trust my privacy with Google though)...
What is happening.... Is this a known ICS bug?? (I used Froyo and Gingerbread on my Galaxy S Captivate and Galaxy S2 Skyrocket LTE....
I have used android since the first Galaxy S (captivate) and I never had this issue before..
Check if it helps
Try and see if you can make a backup of you contact with a google account. Therefore all your contact will be backup there instead of your sim. That way you will never lose them.
Also you can check, while in contact hit menu and see if there is a option: Contact to Display". click it & see if it give you an option to select sim or phone. if it does. select either of them to see if your numbers are there.
Maybe this might solve your problem.
Hope this helps.
Don't trust your privacy with Google?
May I ask why? You're using a Google phone. Syncing a phone to Google servers so you can use your branded Google os phone.
And in terms of someone using mischevious ways to illegally access your contacts. Id be more concerned with your internet provider than Google.
But anyway. Hope you get it fixed mate. May I offer a solution? Have you asked your provider for maybe just a brand new sim? And why have they said no to transferring your contacts? To my knowledge they can't really refuse you, or the store you went to is just a bunch of dicks.
Also. If you have best buy near you. Ask them for some help. Mobile guy here. At my store we would do it no questions asked no charge just to help a fellow out.

As I mentioned in the OP, I ticked the contacts display to SIM only...
@ThatJawn
I know I am using a Google Phone, but the only thing I would ever sync with them is my GMail account and my Google Play Apps...
I do not sync any personal contacts/appointments and of course contact numbers and addresses with them ever since I started using my Galaxy S1 Captivate...
Yes, the store I went to was a bunch of dicks... I don't know if you know the Canadian carrier Rogers Wireless, they are shady people and some of them are just straight up dumb....
Basically my microSIM is a new card.. But for some reason Rogers' new LTE microSIMs do not have the normal SIM cutout adapter... So it makes it difficult to transfer my old contacts from my GS2 Skyrocket LTE to my GS3. The store has a freakin' multiSIM reader, but the teenage chick at that Rogers store in Downtown Toronto did not know how to operate.
Hmm try to catch a different person?
Or go to best buy? Or say like a Walmart or anywhere else they sell mobile phones. I'm sure they wouldn't have any issues doing it for you.

I too don't trust Google with contacts n such. So here is what I do:
Installed "Go Contacts" app.
Always keep it frozen and use only when I need to backup.
This app has option to export contacts. In case of any issue, you could import from the exported file.
You could create as many backups as you want since the exported file gets created with the timestamp as name.
