I wanted to edit my "home", but it wouldn't allow me to save the "edit".
So I created a new "trusted place"... works fine.
However, I want to remove the old one, but it only allows me to either edit, or turn it off. Am I missing something?
If the original "home" or "work" etc is pulling from Google services like Maps or Google now you won't be able to delete it. I find that trusted places didn't work for me using those preset places. So I did a pin drop and named them.
Nevermind

New Google Search today plug-in. I know you can use Kaiser Tweak to search with Google instead of Windows Live Search, but Google just made this available for WM users.

Works pretty good too. I just installed it. The only issue I have is that when you tap the options soft key, tap google home, it soes not automatically sign you in.
the last google app i put on my kaiser, killed it, I will be avoiding google apps from now on.
Google Now won't show anything other than the weather card.
I've tried disabling, re-enabling Google Now, making sure I have all card notifications set to "On" or "Yes" and I've tried rebooting. But for some reason my Google Now will only show me the weather card. If I hit "More" below that card it just says "Not Available".
Before, I was able to get many different types of cards in that feed. Now nothing will show. Anyone else run into this?
EDIT: Fixed! If you run into this issue, do the following...
- Open the Google app
- Click the three horizontal lines that are just to the right of the "Google" logo in the Google search bar
- Click "Settings"
- Click "Now cards"
- Click "Delete card preferences?"
- Click "Delete" (this will delete all Now Card preferences and turn Google Now off)
- Click the box to turn Google Now back on
- Go through the initial Google Now setup
- Bam! All Google Now cards are back to showing.
I'm assuming my issue stemmed from the fact that when Google Now launched, I said "No" to most of the cards it was trying to show me, in an effort to keep it minimal and not full of content I didn't care about. Since then, Google Now has been refined quite a bit and is much better. I never went back to reset all my preferences so I was still getting essentially no cards. Resetting everything solved that.
Hello all you nexus 6 experts!
I am experiencing a weird bug for selecting the mock location app under developer settings. Currently I have three different apps installed - FakeGPS, Lockito and Go Walking Fake GPS Location.
Now, after I set one of the apps as the mock location provider, I can no longer select any other one. I can only choose "None" from the list or the initial selection. e.g. currently I can only set FakeGPS or "none" for the setting. After I uninstall the "stuck" app I can again choose a different one - but then the setting gets stuck on this one.
I am on a Nexus 6 with the July build of Marshmallow (6.0.1 MOB30O). It's running the stock ROM with franco.Kernel and root.
Anybody experienced something like this and has a solution?
Is there a way to edit this setting somewhere directly in a config file?
Same issue. Wondering if its a FakeGPS thing. PokeMon right!
I'm having exactly the same problem on Xperia Z2 (6.0.1). Any solution so far?

Okay Poke's... Figured out the issue. No doubt we all downloaded FakeGPS and moved it to /system right?
After moving FakeGPS back to /data (normal app) I can select other mock location apps (Pokemon GO Joystick).
You can do this with "/system/app mover" available in the Google Play store. Just enable "Show system apps" and scroll down to the app you want to move back to /data (FakeGPS). Then reboot and you should be good
Actually, I haven't moved my app to the system partition since Google's partitioning for stock images leaves little space to do anything with \system. Anyways - a Redditor pointed out one thing to me: even if the setting is not updating on the UI-side, it is actually updating properly on the backend. Basically, just select any other mock location app and it will work fine even though something else is being displayed. I was sceptical at first since some of my apps were crashing before and I interpreted that as a sign of a jumbled setting but now everything works fine.

That's true, i just realized it. To confirm this, when i open fakegps if i didn't select it as mock location app it tells me to do so and when i select it that message disappears even though the "select mock location app" section shows another app as selected. It seems to be just a UI problem.
edit.
guys my nexus 6 shows 2 location on the map. My current location and the mock location. How do i remove my current location and only allow the mock location to be active?
You might need to disable the Fused Location service.
And change the location settings to phone only. Also turn off Wi-Fi scanning if connected or around known hotspots/networks.
Or...enjoy the summer and actually walk around town like you're supposed to?
I'm actually having the same issue with the "stuck mock location app". I tried to remove those apps and I still cannot select the app I want to, in this case, Fly Gps.
Hi everyone.
I'm at a bit of a loss here. I've had 2 issues with Google apps on this phone. One is regarding Calendar which was force closing as soon as I tried to edit an event. Others on here had the problem and advised a factory reset which I wanted to avoid.
Yesterday however, Google Drive seemed to stop seeing Sheets, Docs etc as when you try to create a new document, those options don't appear. This also means I can't use Drive to edit any document however if I open Docs or Sheets directly I can access the same files and edit them.
I use Drive a lot so I bit the bullet and did a factory reset this morning.
Everything was okay and both apps seemed fine again, however for no apparent reason (I rebooted just now), Drive is broken again.
Calendar is still fixed but I have no idea what's going on. It's like Drive can't see that Docs and Sheets are installed.
Has anyone experienced this or got any ideas?
Aaaaand Google Calendar is broken again. I changed the colour of each if my calendars and unselected my Hotmail calendar. Force closes now every time I try to open an event to edit.
Just checked my Google Drive and it's allowing opening of Sheets files, also never had the Calendar issue, I have multiple shared calendars in action with my account as well.
no problems with either - if you have an o365 account you could install excel and onedrive to see if any issues
The problem isn't that I can't open the files though as if I open the apps Docs or Sheets, they'll open and edit fine. When in the Drive app though, if you try to create a new item, I only get options for an upload, photo or new folder and no sheet. Likewise when clicking on a text document, it opens in the built in Drive viewer but not the Docs editor.
It's like Drive isn't seeing that the other apps are installed.
Very odd. Not sure if it's related to the calendar issues other had. I've tried all sorts of combinations of changing permissions and battery saving etc but to no avail.
So I figured it out and it was my own fault - I was in the Google Play Services beta.... Latest update broke maps showing in other apps (that's what helped me work it out as it gave an error about play services updating) as well as giving my calendar and drive issues.
Posting in case others come across this issue!
That's a definite bummer. I have not yet experienced that. I certainly hope I won't.
One of the first things I did when I got my P20 Pro last Saturday, April 28 was to STOP all auto-updates, including the auto-update of apps.
What I have in mind, if was in the same situation, would be to factory reset the unit. Then deactivate the auto-update feature. I'm not sure if it'll work with others, though.
Have you tried getting in touch with Huawei yet?

So the effect I am getting is when I open the sheet from google drive it shows a previewed sheet, but not actually a valid file you can edit (i.e. it's still using drive not sheets) - you can choose 'open with Sheets' and then it does open in sheets. You can also open the web browser version and it prompts you to 'Use App' with a button. I can't get it to open into Sheets without an additional tap - it definitely did before...
If you look at the recent reviews, it's not just P20 pro which has issues with maps

hello,
are its possbile and how to install on galaxy watch an app that blocking with password a specific app like in google play?
i mean, in google paly there is a few app to install that protect to not open specific applications.
are its possible?
for example, i want to blocking the browser of Samsung that or will be unable to install it, or blocking it with a password,
someone know the best way how to do it?
many thank on advance.
Best you can do is disable and hide it.
hello,
many thanks for your reply.
what you mean to block and hide, the play store app?
if yes, after time its will be able to unhide it.
are you know an option to protect with a password?
many thanks again.
No, the browser is pre-installed by Samsung. You can go into the HOME SCREEN settings (press on an empty space on one of the home screens and select settings). There you will find HIDE APPS ON HOME AND APPS SCREEN. On that menu, you can hide any of the apps so they do not show on the phone. If you ever want to use them, then just un-hide them.
