Does anyone knows how to set the locations for this? Does it automatically "learn" them or do I manually enter them using maps data?

Go to Google Maps desktop site and set them under My Places.
you can also set them from the maps app on your phone
I see it now. Kinda weird that I can't do it in app but the features are so awesome I won't complain too much. Thanks for the help!

Where are the options to set them on your phone? I don't see any?
To set Home/Work on Android (It's kind of hidden):
Start Maps
Tap on your icon (The blue dot on the map, this should have your contact photo on it not just the blue arrow. You can pull it up by turning on the Latitude option.)
Tap on your name that appears above it
Tap location History
Tap the menu dots down the bottom right
The you get the Change home/work location options
There are also some graphs of how long you spend where.
Thanks!
ON a side note.. anyone get the traffic thing for appointments and meetings?
What about someone like me who actually works from home?
Google set my Home and Work addresses to the same thing. So, now when I'm out with friend it sometimes tells me how long it takes to get back to work haha.
Does anyone else work from home and have this issue?
It actually does learn it automatically based on you traffic patterns. It took about 5 days for mine to pick up then it just started showing up. It did ask me to confirm that home and work listings were correct though.

Well, you can always turn it off. Also, I just noticed that you can press the 3 dots on the Traffic card in Google Now and select Edit to change the destination its showing Traffic time for.
Do you have to have Latitude enabled for this to work?
Quite like the idea, but don't really want Latitude on!
I think that its eventually just supposed to learn about where you are based on your location, and then it will guess your home. If it guesses wrong, from there, you can change it to make sure its the right address

It learned my home and work locations after a few days as well indeed.
I moved from Canada to USA and its been 2 weeks. It still thinks I'm traveling. Shows me currency exchange and what not..donno how to fix this..
Anyone know how to add more than one work place to Google Maps? So than in Google Now it would say "Distance to Work 1" sort of thing?
Now, I think you can set your home and work address from within Google Now. It's under Google Now, traffic.

Doesn't work for me. When I tap on the menu button all I get is select date. (Android 4.2.1). Wish they wouldn't always keep moving things around!

Actually I just deleted Work from my desktop.
Is there a way to setup the phone so it will only use your home wifi when it is available? I don't want to manually have to change this all the time. I want it to use my home network when it can connect to it. If it can't then use 4g. Anyone?

In cyanogen there are profiles you can set.
But if you're stock there are third party apps that you can use. I believe they even track your location to know if you're home or not.
Or just leave WiFi on all the time and it will connect when in range. But might kill your battery quicker since it will be scanning constantly

Thanks for your response. How do you give someone a thank you or whatever its called? Someone flipped me **** because I hadnt given any. I dont know how.
I use LLama ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/...t#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5rZWJhYi5MbGFtYSJd
My wife uses [email protected] ---> https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5hZWJlaW5yb3RoLndpZmlob21lIl0.
They both work. LLama does so much more than what you desire and [email protected] only does what you want.

Click the thanks button on the left side under the name and post count. If you're on the xda app just click the post.
I'm pretty sure the phone will only connect to a network when you tell it to so you can just leave wifi on. From my experience wifi didn't really use that much more power. It'll just connect automatically within range.
Additionally, there's ways to change the scan interval times so it doesn't check constantly.
If you wanna impress some folks buy some Nfc tags and set them up.

I got my new Nexus on Sunday (luv the Staples coupon / thx) and location is insisting I am in a town around 50 miles from where I live; two apps - weatherbug and google now. Anyone know how to fix??
Same problem...

I've had my Nexus for a few months now and all of a sudden I started experiencing the same problem the other day. If I check the weather card on Now it picks up my current location but when I 'drill' into the detail all of a sudden I'm in France! Similar thing when searching, I get asked if I want to change my default google page from UK to FR and I get prices in € instead of my usual £.
I've tried rebooting, turning the GPS off and on, disabled and then re-enabled my location tracking settings... all to no avail. I've also set my home and work locations on Google...
If anyone has the vaguest inclination about what might be going on, I'd be much obliged to hear about it.
Thanks

Post de-bantered. I lost all control...
WTH??
I always think it's better just to answer the question, with an appropriate response.
Instead, there's some useless banter posted.
How about you "so called" senior members, just answer the individuals question? Want to build your reputation in a positive way, then help out. It was a simple question.
If you want to post banter, then go to another site please.
Carry On now.

Eh, when you;re new, people expect you to use Google and find the answer. You'll get used to it. Don't worry, there's a lot of good folks here who are willing to help.
Ok, in answer to your issue, I guess a Mod has to come in and do it.
Go to Settings/Locations.
Turn off the Provider (auto, or use Provider Settings) option, and enter your city manually. (make sure you also select your time zone)
You may also have to do this with your weather widget and do a city search under it's options.
The reason being, if everything is set to auto, based on Provider location, they may not have a base exactly in your City. So we have to set one manually. Or they will use what ever is closest.

Excellent, glad to hear there are good folk
RE your fix, I'll give it a try. Just to say in the meantime though that I've got a Galaxy Nexus as well (getting on a bit now admittedly) and that's absolutely fine with locations etc. Also the Nexus 7 has been perfectly fine for the past few months... I only mention that because of your point about provider location etc.
I'll give it a try and let ya know though.
Oooh and as I've typing my response I've just been alerted to the fact that I've got 4.3 ready for installation (must've just come through OTA) - perhaps that'll jump-start things into working again.
Thanks again

Location on nexus 7 way wrong
I got my problem resolved. I called Google help and they had me do a factory reset. Initially, that didn't work. I went into apps and drilled down to maps app and cleared all cache and data. I am now seeing the maps app pinpoint me in my exact location. Weather app is also precise. Thaanks for the help.

Oooh factory reset... I must confess that prospect doesn't fill with me with joy, but I guess if it's the only way to get things working again then needs must. Appreciate the info, as always, thanks.

Ha Ha. The only thing more drastic than that, is to re-flash the whole ROM :silly:
Gotta love Google Support. Hard reset is their first advice. Unfortunately, be aware, when you do that, you lose all personal data, so you should always back up your information, docs, photos, etc. just in case.
Location on nexus 7 way wrong
As it turns out my problem did not go away. I turned off the Nexus; back on a few hours later. My eyes went buggy as I went into maps, see it load beautifully to my location and then, in a flash, move back to that same location about 50 miles from my location. I don't get it. Help.
Has anyone tried to use wifi calling feature yet? Every time I try to turn it on I get a dialog box that says "Not Available. Unable to connect to a network. Please move to a new location and try again."
I don't know how to get wifi calling to work. I'm going to take my phone in to the sprint store to see if they can do something but if anyone on here know a solution it would be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Just got my phone today and it worked first try. Setup and usage was exactly the same as my Note 3.
In my one short call, both parties comment on very good sound quality and I felt the latency as good as I'd ever heard it.
Try using your city state and zip only. Leave the address blank and it should work. Or click locate me and it give you options to choose from and choose from the list.
I put my exact address in and it give me that error you had too.

Wow you're a genius! That worked beautifully. Thank you so much man. I was getting so frustrated with this.
Hi,
I have recently tried to figure out the Smart Lock Feature of the brand new LG G4 smartphone.
However I was not yet able to find any working solution to this problem.
Does anybody came across this problem?
Thanks
Same issue here..
You have to set it to high accuracy.
Thanks for the replies. However, I have set it to the high accuracy - see the picture.
Any other suggestions?

Same issue here. Mine is also grayed out. I've tried many ways to solve it but in vain. I am going to try jerflash's manner. It is indeed very strange!
I really wish this worked via Wifi networks. Mark X wifi network as home, and Y wifi network as work. I dont run GPS unless I need to. But it would be nice to have things toggle based off wifi or even just a general location. My work and home are 50mi apart, phone should be able to tell where I am haha

I've solved this problem!!!
Someone told me that "my place" can be only set on while using mobile network. If you use Wifi, "my place" can not be set on. This works with me! So happy I finally can turn on "my place" and use the smart setting. Hope this also works with you. Good luck! :good:
Oh, well, thank you. This fixed the problem. Thank you so much!
For anyone who comes here from a search: LG phones with Smart Settings only seem to work if mobile data are enabled. So if you have limited data allowance and keep mobile data normally disabled, you're out of luck.
