I was wondering if there is any way to stop recently called/texted contacts to appear at the top of google search, I find it super annoying when looking through my recent searches i have to scroll through tons of people before seeing them

Lovin' everything about this phone at the moment but just a quick q' about the satnav element of google maps... On tomtom you can be set your current location as a favourite from the on screen menus, I haven't been able to find a way to do this on this google nav, is it possible?
sorry, can't find a way to edit the thread title - should read Google NaVigation query-
When you get google maps to find your current location, if you click on the 'pin' you should get a new screen with the details of that location etc. In the top right corner is a star, so you can 'star' that location as a favourite, like you do in Gmail, Reader etc.
AFAIK you can't set a Home location though
Indeed you can! Brilliant & thank you very much. I also just noticed the "labs" stuff with all the different buttons, I like this phone the more I get to know it.
Thanks for the quick help, appreciate it.
Anyone found a way of adding safety camera info/alerts to Google navigation?

Hi Everyone,
I've searched high and low for a solution to this, but haven't had any luck. Is anyone aware of a way to disable the Facebook calendar sync to my Google calendar?
Specifically looking to remove the entries for "friend's" birthdays.
Thanks!
Don't sync your Facebook contacts or the solution below.
Or, to actually answer the OPs question: Just open the calendar app, go to Menu - More - Calendars, and uncheck the ones you don't want to sync.

I also have this problem and I have an HTC EVO 4G LTE running ICS 4.0.3. None of the suggestions I read anywhere on the web worked for me, but I finally found a solution. Open the Google Calendar from your phone/device, and at the top left, there is a drop down menu titled "Calendar." I never noticed that this was a drop down list before, but it is. This is where you will find all of the synced calendars from Facebook and others. I had to uncheck everything, and then add just the ones I cared about. That worked for me; hope this helps.
Like everybody I was suprised that it is not possible to delete the frequently called history in ICS (or maybe not surprised, because Google is not in the business of deleting history, rather the opposite). I also was surprised that various cleaner apps don't work in ICS.
Anyway, after some research I learnt that you just have to delete the contents table data_usage_stats in /data/data/com.android.providers/databases/contacts or so. Not a big deal with aSqlitemanager and aShell.
But now I discovered exactly the same in the google search bar.
In the google search settings I unchecked every searchable item expect "People". if I tap into the google search, I can see my frequently called contacts.
Does anybody have an idea what database I have to clean to get rid of this?

Disable "google search" in apps.
Nice side benefit....it removes the google search widget from the desktop.
Yes, I know.
But I would like to keep the google search app.
Just want to know where this "frequently called" information is stored. I can not find the database table.
A solution can be found here (thanks @kynon)

But basically you have to set the following values to 0
last_time_contacted
times_contacted
in table contacts and raw_contacts
Running JB 4.1.1. on ATT SG3 (SGHI747). Recently rooted.
Touching the microphone associated with Google Search used to allow me to speak and fill fields. Now, touching the icon brings me to the Play Store link to the Google Voice Search app page. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the application, cleared all file associations, rebooted.
I'm a total noob. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Where is this microphone located? If it is a shortcut out on your main screens (desktop area who's name is escaping me currently) you might want to try going into the "Apps" drawer and opening google voice there. If that works then trash your broken shortcut and drag a new one out.
When I do a search in the maps app, say for a McDonalds near an airport, I get the results on the map. I select one of the results and tap the right side of the popup (the half that has the name) and at the top I get a star icon to add to my map locations, and a camera icon to take a photo to submit, but there is no stacked dot icon which apparently I'm supposed to use to add the search result to my contacts. If I tap the left side of the popup of course I get the Directions screen. If I go to the results list, and tap on the result in question, it just goes to the result information screen with the star and camera icons but no stacked dot icon.
How on earth do I add a search result in google maps android, to my contacts? If there's supposed to be a stacked dot icon for me to use to do this, how do I get it back?
I'm running stock ICS, rooted. The only google items I've frozen with titanium backup are:
gmail
google play books
google play movies
google+
