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+

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?
The last touch to a great application!!
u can add a home, I presume u have your home phone number in it? Add your address to the home contact then use the navigate to contact, home and done
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.
Any Google drive saved PDF docs are accessible.
When I open a PDF, it opens in the tablet with Acrobat and I can see it immediately and use it, no problem.
When I tap on the right side I can access all PDFs by next tapping Top Left corner and I see a list of recent documents.
How do I wipe out this list as many of these documents are no longer on my google drive but are still shown on the Recent documents
Have clicked on Settings but no Trash Can displays.
Have also tried to Hold Down finger on one of the many items in Recent documents in the hope that a Delete would show, no such thing.

Perhaps by clearing the PDF app cache in the settings menu?
When I access Settings via tap on the bottom left side icon, no such item displays

Clear data for the related apps from settings -> applications manager
...and just to be clear... That's phone settings sphuyal is referring to, Not the settings in Acrobat.
I use the long google whote bar at the top of my homescreen. Tapping on the search opens pages in Samsung's browser. any way to reroute this to chrome?
Weird, mine doesn't. It goes to the standard Google now browser which is powered by chrome. Upper right corner menu gives you the option to go directly to the chrome browser.

Yeah, if I touch the google letters, i type in a search, and it opens the seach within that minimal google search browser. But if I touch any link, it opens in samsungs browser.
Im talking about the long white bar that shows google on the left and say "ok google" next to a mic. the google seach widget i believe
Figured it out, just needed to set the default browser under apps.
For some reason, my Google app is showing up search results with tiny text and it's not allowing me to see the first result because it is cut off and won't let me scroll up any higher... See the screenshot. This happens regardless of how I launch it (Google Now on Tap or the Google app).
I haven't changed any display scaling or anything like that and it doesn't appear as a problem anywhere else. It is only in the search results section of the Google app.
Any suggestions? Thanks?
