Hi,
I received a message about connecting to open wifi hotspots on my phone, clicked more help and it brought me to a web page telling me to activate the feature through the Google Settings app. I can't find it on my phone, running stock OS, not rooted with Project Fi. I can't find it in the play store either. Any suggestions?

Hi,
at some point the new roms started to include a program called "Locations" or HTC Locations, which starts now everytime i click on an address of any contact instead of googlemaps. Since I have a different navigation program and i don't like Locations, is there a way of switching the standard back to googlemaps or, even better, to get rid of Locations at all?
Thx
Go to settings > applications > manage applications > locations and look for "Launch By Default" and click Clear Defaults and try again.
tried that first, that button says "no standards set" and is greyed out... i tried deleting the data for Locations but that didn't help
Hello, not sure if any of you experienced the same problem. I can't seem to turn Google Now on. It either says 'Network Error' or 'Google Now requires location services which are not available'.
Any ideas? Help appreciated.
Do you have that turned on under settings - connection - location ?
Followed this trick found in googlegroups and it worked!
Switch the phone to Airplane mode (re-enable wi-fi, it's needed later on)
Go to Location settings and switch to GPS only mode
Download Fake GPS (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lexa.fakegps)
Set the location to London (I suppose any place with access to Google Now will do but, I tested this on London)
Open search settings and sign out
Disable Google Play Services (if it asks to uninstall updates, do so)
Open search settings and select your account
Google Now terms and conditions should come up
Select the option "Yes, I'm in" (Or just use voice search, say "Remind me to buy milk" and click "Opt in to Google Now").
Re-enable Google Play Services, disable Airplane Mode, change location settings to your hearts desire and stop fake GPS.
Enjoy Google Now.

I want to use the Smart Settings feature to enable wifi when I'm at home, but can't work out how to set my home location.
The "Home" section of the Edit Smart setting page says "No home located in My places". When I tap on that a message pops up saying "Home is not located in settings for My places. When located, Smart settings can be set automatically...."
So I went hunting for a way to set my home location...I started with Location settings, which seems the obvious place. There's a "Places" section there, but it's greyed out. The slider is set to On however, and the greyed-out text reads: "My place ...locate your home for Smart settings".
Presumably if this option wasn't greyed out I would be able to set my home location, but I can't work out why it's not enabled. I have Location services turned on, and set to High accuracy mode.
Any ideas?
I've just found the answer. It seems that I had Mobile Data disabled, and it is only possible to set your home location when Data is enabled.
I've had this issue since the 2nd or 3rd dp. Google play services would force close out of nowhere. Then i would go into settings and see that my account backup is not enabled. It's grayed out and I can't pick the google account. The only way to get it back to show up is when I clear the cache and data of google play services and reboot the phone. However it would start crashing again and I would have to pair my watch again (moto 360 and lg g watch r). So yesterday I tried to figure out the culprit and it was google fit. When I uninstalled it everything is fine and when I reinstalled it all hell break loose. I was just wondering if anyone else having this issue?

I did try it and it still crashes
I had the same problem with Fit on my pixel. Here's what Google support sent me...
I recommend trying these basic troubleshooting steps:
Connect to a strong internet connection to access and download from the Play Store:
Try switching your internet connection to another Wi-Fi/cellular network. Also try accessing your network from a different location. Check if your signal strength improves and if you can browse web sites.
Force your device to check in to Google servers to gain full access to the Play Store:
Go to Phone > Dialpad (10 dot icon) and dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#* (*#*#2432546#*#*). Do not start the call. The numbers you entered should disappear.
Within 2 minutes, you should receive a "checkin successful" notification.
If this doesn't work, you can also force a check in by manually changing the date and time:
Go to Settings > Date & time.
If you see any of the following menu items, turn them off:
Automatic date & time
Automatic time zone
Tap Set date and Set time and manually change the date and time so they're incorrect.
Tap Home (the circle at the bottom of your screen) and repeat steps 1-2.
Turn Automatic date & time and Automatic time zone back on.
Reboot your device:
Press and hold the power button and tap “Power off” when it appears.
Once the phone powers off, press and hold the power button until the device powers on.
If the issue persists, remove and re-add your Google account:
Note: This may delete settings and un-synced in-app content. However, your purchases and synced data (Gmail, Google contacts, etc.) are tied to your account and will be available after re-adding your account. Make sure you remember your account password because you'll need to log back in after re-adding your account.
Remove your account:
Go to Settings > Accounts > Google and tap the name of the account you wish to remove.
Tap More (three vertical dots) and Remove account. Tap Remove account again to confirm account removal.
Add your account back to your device:
Go to Settings > Accounts > Add Account.
Select Google and enter your account information.
If the issue persists, clear the cache and data of the Play Store app:
Navigate to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Storage.
Tap Clear data > OK.
Tap Clear cache.
Note: this may reset Play Store settings. After clearing cache and data of the Play Store app, double check your settings: open Play Store > Menu (3 horizontal bars) > Settings.
If the issue persists, uninstall and reinstall Play Store app updates:
Go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store.
Tap More (3 vertical dots) > Uninstall updates > OK.
Launch the Google Play store app, then tap Home (circle icon at the bottom of the screen).
Wait 5-10 minutes for the app to self-update and relaunch Google Play.

Automatic Force Checking in to Google servers is what worked for me. Hope it works for you too.
Good luck
google fit doesnt work on unoffcial rom

Just got the phone on Sprint. If wifi is on and wifi calling is on, I get frequent (near constant) notifications indicating the location must be on for wifi calling. Any idea how to stop this? This never happened on T Mobile.
Wi-Fi calling shouldn't need location access. Try these steps:
1. Go into the phone app settings and look for an option to disable location
2. Go to main device Settings > Connections > Wi-Fi Calling and look for an option to disable location
3. Main device Settings > Apps > tap the 3 dots at top right and enable "Show system apps" > search for Wi-Fi Calling > tap "Permissions" and disable location (if available)
4. Main device Settings > Location > App permissions > tap the 3 dots at top right and enable "Show system" > look for Wi-Fi Calling and disable (if available)
5. Main device Settings > Location > look under "Recent location requests" and tap "See all" > look for Wi-Fi Calling and disable (if available)
