Google Maps 'feature' - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Not sure if this is now new but before while driving with maps open and I say ok Google it would operate in the maps app with the search at the top but since I recently updated if I say ok Google now it doesn't stay in maps it opens the Google app and I have to say ok Google again really annoying. Is there a way to get it back. Thanks.

Can you check 'Ok Google detection' in Navigation Settings in Maps Settings once?

Any "MAPS" app that can do this

I really need an app that can corporate with google maps online.
I need to be able to MARK a position, and give it a description. And then have it store in MY MAPS in my google maps profile.
Have anyone come across such an app ?
My Maps Editor by Google
its free in the market!
Wont start, CM 6.1 RC1
use google maps on the phone
if i need to mark a location i just star it on the map and come back to it later on the desktop. if on the desktop i star it then go to the phone and hit menu and starred places. or go to layers > more layers > mymaps on the phone
you just cant give a starred place a description on the phone

In a pinch, you could use the "Share" functionality to send yourself an email with the map link and annotate it there. But if you do find an app that does exactly what you describe, please report back here.
I have postet a logcat for The error with my maps editor. But i guess this app is yet to come :-\

Have you tried my tracks from google? sounds like something I was trying a while back and my tracks worked well for me.
Makes me record a track and not a specific location :-\ but nice app

yes, but you can mark waypoints and upload them to your google maps.
Not my goal :-\ but thanks anyway

Google Hangouts

As you guys may know, Google has integrated all their communication systems into the new Google Hangouts and it is started to rolling out.
Just wanted to let all root users know that you don't need to wait to get it as for some your Google Talk isn't being updated to Hangouts currently. Like if you have Talk currently and you go to the playstore and search hangouts it will say you already have it installed and you are updated to Hangouts even though you only have talk.
If you use something like Titanium Backup to uninstall Talk from your device, you can then go on to the playstore and be able to download and install the new Hangouts app.
I don't know if this has already been mentioned as I haven't seen a thread but just wanted to let people on to this little tip if you want to get it right away!
EDIT: I'm thinking now I might have probably posted this in the Themes and Apps forum, but I wasn't exactly sure if this should have been posted there as this is just a general tip. If any Mod wants to move this please do!

they pushed a new update out this morning that should have fixed this
Anyone get the 'couldn't sign in because couldn't reach google, try again' or whatever? I get it every time :-\

You don't need to uninstall Google talk... You can use the Web Google play to install hangouts and it will automatically replaces the old talk or obtain the apk file from the web and install it over the Google talk.

I agree. I really miss the who is online and who is offline thing. You can VAGUELY tell by the contacts picture being grayed out, but that sucks compared to a red dot. Hit the menu button in the hangout app and hit send feedback. Request for this feature to be put back in.

1.Use some app to take backup of Google Play Services (ES File Explorer can do it for you) and save the apk locally. This is recommended because after the next step you may not be able to connect and re-download the update over Mobile Data. It would work on WiFi however.
2.Go to Manage Apps > Google Play Services
3.Do "Uninstall" / "Uninstall Updates" for Google Play Services
4.Google Hangout will automatically ask you to Install or Update Google Play Services.
5. If you "Uninstalled Updates", then the app would update over Mobile Data when you click on update in Google Play. After this go to Step #8
6.If you "Uninstalled" the app completely, you wouldn't find it in Google Play. So install it from the backup created in Step #1.
7.Now go to Google Play and install any updates for Google Play Services.
8.Now open Google Hangout. It may still show you a connection issue for a couple for times.
9.Don't lose your heart. It should work after you try for a maximum of 1-2 times.

I haven't been a huge fan of hangouts either yet. I use textra. I have heard that there might be some nice things in the works for it though. I'm keeping tabs on it.

Google navigation disappears after running Wisepilot for the first time

Just as in title. My Google navi worked fully fine, till I ran wisepilot for the first time (wanted to just check it out, but it's not that good as I need so I never ran it again). Right now there is absolutely no trace of Google navi ever being installed on my SP. Anyone met the same problem? Is there a way to fix it without reflashing? (can't flash, away from home, no computer, and I really do need that Google's navi)

That's because of Google's maps update. Navigation is now a part of maps app and hence not anymore a launcher icon..

Google Assistant

I had the google assistant the other day and now its gone again, anyone's else had this?
I'm in the UK if that makes any difference.
For now, google assistant is not avaible everywhere, because it was made especially for google pixel, so maybe there was an update for your phone, but you disabled Google Assistant, try checking your Google settings on phone, if everything is as it should be.
Try installing the latest beta version of Google play services.

I installed version 10.5.37 beta and Google assistant activated. I'm from the Philippines so I'm not supposed to receive it yet.

Change your phones language to English US. Then clear Play Services and Google app cache.
Assistant should appear after a restart and a few minutes.
It's re-appeared again now let's hope it stays

Can someone check their voice commands in Google maps?

I have an odd issue with voice commands with Google maps and I can even reproduce it after a factory reset.
First off you need to be using the new Google Assistant.
1) start navigation to any destination
2) while in Google maps full screen use the voice command via hotword or mic button to change to a different destination
3) it'll confirm that it changed the route but won't actually do it.
It'll work if maps is minimized or you're in a different app while navigation is running in the background.
I can fix it if I install Google app version that appears not too have the new Google Assistant but then I lose things like continued conversation and the new GA animation.
Has anyone experienced this or can anyone test it? A factory reset did not fix the issue.

Confirming the issue here as well. Quick work around is to just tap X on the current navigation then voice command the next location.
