Maybe I'm late to the game here, but I was just amazed by the connectivity of Google Now. Here's what it did:
I was looking for some information about a store on my desktop computer. I Googled the name of the store (my browser stays logged into Google+) After I had finished this search I happened to pick up my phone and noticed a notification on the phone. Checked to see what it was, and it was a card in Google Now showing how long it would take to get to said store, and a map of the route. I never entered this info into the phone, but because I did a Google search on this store on a browser (not even Chrome) that had been logged into Google, it attached the search info into my account and told Google Now to offer directions to the store without me even touching the phone.
I don't know whether to be really impressed or really spooked by this
Re: Google Now plus Google Desktop Search.....really cool or creapy?
Ya Google now is pretty awesome. You can always turn features off that you don't want to use in it.

I was attempting to update some Android apps on the Android Market, and had to switch to WIFI in order to get a faster connection. Somehow, when I went back to google Market, the Market app disappeared from my App drawer.
I rebooted phone, and Android Market still isn't there?
Any suggestions how I get the Market back on the phone. I'm thinking I need to sideload the app, but haven't attempted to do that yet.
If there's a quick guide to doing that with this phone ( is it phone specific ), I'd love to have the link. Otherwise, I can search the web til I find something that fits the bill.
Thanks
lol

Have you checked your app drawer for "Play Store"?
I logged into market.android.com and it redirected me to sign into that site.
When logged in, I saw my apps that were installed on the phone. I didn't notice a way to install apps from that site though. I can check again if that's the answer.
GOT IT, thanks.
Play store is the new market (as stated).

Hi all, I've got a stock Epic 4G Touch and I've got a strange issue updating Google Maps.
Recently I noticed that the number of apps listed in the "My Apps" section of the play store dropped by a few without my uninstalling any. I no longer see Google Maps in the list, for example.
I'm now trying to update Google Maps from 6.4.0 to 6.5.0, but the update didn't happen automatically, as it should have, it doesn't show as an available update in the Play store, and when I navigate to it in the Play store and try to update manually, I get an error: "Your order is processing, your item will be available in a few minutes." After pressing OK nothing happens.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
I believe it's the Google Play store issue. It happened to lots of people and even I experienced the same thing a couple of days ago but now everything is fine except the 'connection time out' thing to see the all apps instead of installed from my phone.
Uninstall maps I used titanium back up for that. Then I went to the play store on the browser and installed the latest version of maps.
Yea, the play store is acting funny. It will work itself out. Earlier today is showed that I had no apps installed. I went back in a few minutes ago and he were all there. Give it time

Google doesn't have the capability to handle the market or Android users! I hope someone else take over this role!
Run the install from Play on your desktop. Finally worked for me after 2 days of trying on my phone.
this "new" market is one of the most horrible pieces of software to hit the Android community..Google needs to do something to fix it; why they didn't just leave the older market intact is beyond me..this is a horrible DOWNGRADE..
Hi,
Was hoping someone could help clear up a question that's been bugging me for a while about Android apps. Right now, I use an Apple iPad for a tablet and have bought quite a few apps over the years from the iTunes store. I can share these purchased apps with my wife who also has an iPad and an iPhone by logging into my account from her phone, and downloading from there.
My question is can the same be done for Android? I have a few apps (mainly games and a few system utilities) that I would like to be able to use on my son's Nexus 7 tablet. I have purchased these apps legit from the Play store, is there any way I can put them on other devices too?
Thanks.
Yes you can you just use the same procedure that you do with Apple just sign in to the play store from the nexus tablet everything will be available from my apps

I did this for my wife. She has her own google account and I added mine to her phone so that she can access my apps and music. When you do this on the tablet you may want to go to the google account settings and disable sync for your email, contacts, etc., otherwise your son will have full access to your info.

Awesome, thanks for the info.
I am an Android newbie, but was so taken by the SM-T800 tab that I bought one. I was shocked at how much crap came pre-installed, so in an effort to at least cut down on the appearance of tons of pre-installed bloatware, I turned off a bunch of apps using App Manager, but not anything I thought might actually be important. Obviously something has gone weird though, because now when I download something from the Google Play store it installs the app or item twice, once with the app icon/label, and once with just the label-- although if you touch on the label it will still launch the app. You can delete the apps as usual by dragging to the trash.
Here are the things I have turned off, do any of these look like they might be causing a problem?
ANT Radio Service
ANT+ Plugins
Business Card Recognition
Businessweek+
Cisco WebEx Meetings
Drive
Dropbox
Flipboard
Google Play Books
Google Play Games
Google Play Newstand
Google +
Launcher (I honestly do not think I turned this off so I am wondering if it is part of one of these other apps: this is labelled com.sec.android.emergencylauncher and it won't let me turn it back on. This is the only thing I can see that might cause a problem. TouchWiz Home is still active and running.)

Milk
Netflix
NYTimes

This is not an emergency problem since I can delete the extra apps, but it bugs me like an itch I can't scratch!
I got a couple home minis coming and want to set them up to work with hey Google while my phone (Pixel 2 XL) responds to ok Google. I read somewhere someone describing doing this but can't recall where or how.
Problem us, my phone assistant doesn't seem to have a way to disable hey Google. If I delete and retrain the voice model it asks for three ok Google and then one hey Google no matter what.
Anyone know where/how I can get the phone assistant to ignore hey Google so I don't activate my phone and home minis at the same time?
I'd like to know this, too.

Try uninstalling the Google app updates. Then retrain. It only asks for OK Google until you install the Google updates. Not sure if you are forced to retrain with hey Google after updating again.
Yeah that's kind of a weird thing. When I'm going to bed and I want the lights off my device is all turned on and try to fight to turn off the light first. Google needs to work on this
What you can when you train the voice so the okay Google on your phone in your normal voice and hey Google in a high pitched voice you'd never use.
Reverse it for your Google home. So when you do okay Google in your normal voice your phone will activate and when you do hey Google in your normal voice your home will activate.

Your Google home mini will take precedence when saying hey or ok Google near him and the phone, don't worry.
I did this last night.
Phone: use OK Google
mini: use Hey Google
Seems to work and the voice recognition works between myself and the kids.

It is just script on a screen.
Say whatever you want.
I have a couple of Google Homes. Most of the time my phone and Home could figure out which way i was talking but not everytime.
i blew away the voice training.
I only use "OK Google" on my phone
I only use "Hey Google" with my home.
No issues since.

I thought the same and only ever said ok Google for the training but it responds if I say hey Google nonetheless.
