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.

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 have andriod 6.0.1 and when I enable developer options and try to set mock location app, it ignores my choice and instead chooses "Phone Call Management" which I can't even search for?
It's taking 40 min to download one app via wifi, if I switch to LTE it downloads fine. I don't want to use all my data downloading apps? Other wifi tests seem fine on the phone. Is there an issue with wifi on this phone?

Try this: 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.
I had the same problem, so i called google support and they came out with this solution . The first method worked for me.
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)
