Make sure you have a default shipping address setup in Google wallet if you are receiving technical difficulty messages from Google Wallet. I thought it was related to the spamming everyone is doing, kind of lame realizing I could have been on an earlier shipment hours ago if I had made sure I had a default address along with a default card set.

Today, I logged into my gmail account to find a suspicious note by Google saying that I've been logged in from somewhere else, other then Canada. Guess where, China. I'm just wondering if my account has been truly compromised, a quick google search showed that people were getting this also, in the timespan of May too.
Just wondering if any fellow G1 users have gotten this when they logged onto THEIR account and found this note. Should I be worried about credentials?
I haven't gotten any suspicious messages. Sorry.
I used Google Now to search for a online ska/punk radio station on my way home on my HTC One. I get home to help my Dad learn how to use his One and MY search for the radio station is showing on HIS Google Now app!
I checked his and My Accounts and Sync list under settings and neither phone has the other person's accounts.
I did sign into Gmail last night on his phone through the browser, not the app, but I signed out before I performed the search in question.
Before you ask, no, he's not spying on me, he doesn't know how to use a smartphone, and I'm the primary account holder for the phone service.
Please help!
If you sign into a Google account on Chrome EVERYTHING gets synced. Bookmarks, history and w/e else. At least, that's what I think.
Google can tell when a search is coming from the same house and sometimes you search history is filed in due to your geographical proximity.
but it's ok to eat fish cause they don't have feelings.....
Sorry to waste everyone's time, it was a simple mistake on my part. I had forgotten that two days prior I had signed into HIS email via gmail.com on MY phone (to track his phone shipment ironically) and never signed out.

It happens. Would make a great practical joke though.
Where would one go to bring an issue to Google's attention? When Google play music first released it gave users the option to bill to the carrier account. I selected this option and it said complete. Several weeks to nearly a month later I get an email stating the my purchase was declined and because of a card I have in my Google Wallet. I deleted this card thinking it may of caused an issue with my selection. I then selected to have Google all access bill to my account again. Here it is a few weeks later and I get another email saying my purchase was declined because I didn't have a card set up in my Google wallet.
This is really starting to get annoying. Has anyone else been successful with having this new service billed to your account? Not just selecting it but actually getting an email when the payment wad due stating the payment was successfully applied to your account and not just some card you have set up in your Google wallet.

For Google Play ( I have no idea how I got my hands on this, I just have an old conversation in my email. I couldn't find it online. )

I'll keep looking around though.
EDIT: Here you go!
For those of you who are looking to buy the Nexus 5 from outside the US, here's how I did it.
Even though my order is still Pending, I've bought four Nexus 4s and a Chromecast this year.
1. Download and sign up for a TunnelBear account (http://www.tunnelbear.com/).
- Reputable VPN app that allows you to connect to the US Play Store.
2. Turn on TunnelBear and connect to the US.
3. Sign up for a new Google Account, which you will use specifically for ordering devices from the Play Store.
- I tried using my main Google Account and my first Nexus 4 order on launch date didn't go through.
- If you already have an account for ordering, log in to that account instead.
4. Go to the Play Store and place your items in your cart.
5. Assuming you're going to want to use your non-US credit card, simply use your US shipping address as your billing address.
- Have had no problems with Google rejecting this so far but I guess YMMV?
- I've no experience with those package forwarding companies and have only sent it to my relative's house in the US.
6. Ordered.
After recently purchasing a couple of Google Home Minis I have realised that Google seem incapable of bringing their departments together to make the gadget work properly with Google Calendars. Its so embaressing as the Amazon Echo actually works better with Google Calendars .. go figure!! If anyone can offer third party integration suggestions I would be really grateful.
First thing I noticed was that if I asked for my appointments for today, tomorrow, January etc it completely ignores my all day events .... I'm in the UK and I found a workaround for this by setting the language in the Google Home app to English (United States), apparently the U.S.A get new software versions earlier, indeed after this tweak in settings the Google Assistant recognises and reads out all day events.
The above regional fix however does not offer a solution for adding an all day event. The Google assistant does not recognise ' hey google add a new all day event' it still insists on asking for a time and if you say 'all day' for the time, it does not accept - anyone have a workaround or solution for this?
One other very annoying ommission is lack of integration with Google Keep. If I access my calendar via web browser, Googe Keep is tightly integrated for lists and nots, yet the Google Home team who seem to lacking a single iota of common sense have completley ommitted the option to use Google Keep for notes, lists and shopping list. - can anyone offer a solution or workaround?
The last and equally as annoying is if I say for example 'hey google what are my appointments for January' the reply is something like 'you have 8 appointments in January, here are your first 3' - who at Google in their infinite wisdom decided that everyone on the planet will only need to hear their next 3 appointments? Actually beginning to think that the people driving Google Home do NOT have an single grain of common sense between them. - Anyone have a solution or work around?
There are some other gripes like when adding an apointment using voice I don't have the option of adding a location, which is very important quite often I find....
Apologies for long-winded post wanted to put it all out there in case anyone would like to share solutions, altertive solutions to Google Calendar or thoughts....
I second all you've said. No integration with G Suite calendars either. Had to return mine.
