Hello,
I am using a Nexus One with Cyanogen 6 RC3 on it. I have also flashed the google apps addon pack in order to have those apps.
My problem is the following; Two days ago I was able to use google maps navigation without problem. However now, anytime I use two addresses in Canada (where I live) for "Get Directions", the "Navigate" link never pops up. However the Navigate link is available when I use two US addresses. This is especially weird because if I access the Navigation app directly from my app drawer, I am able to use navigation between canadian addresses.
Just 2 days ago I was able to use navigation from within google maps and suddenly I am no longer able to. People have said to re-install google maps but I cannot seem to uninstall the maps application. Should I reflash the google apps pack?
Further, I apparently had auto updating enabled for maps but am unaware of any update that was applied.
Any help to be able to use the Navigation from within google maps within Canada would be greatly appreciated. I hope it is clear what my problem is, if you need more clarification please ask
Im not sure what the rule is about first replying to your own thread however I do have an update.
I re-flashed the latest google apps pack found here xttp://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/
The pack was the same one that I originally flashed however it seems after flashing now I have navigation functionality from within Google maps again. I am happy to have my problem resolved currently but I am curious as to why my Navigation functionality disappeared in the first place.
Hopefully someone knows or can explain what happened so I can prevent this kind of issue in the future. Thank again for all your time
you can try flashing RC2 back, couse many people are facing this issue!
I'm still experiencing this issue. I switched to Enom's rom to see if it fixed it but nope. My Google maps navigate link is sometimes available and then just doesn't show up other times. I am able to use the navigate app. I tried uninstalling maps with titanium backup and redoenloading it from the market, but I still have the problem with navigate.
I had to use my company iPhone today because I can't seem to get ANY navigation program for my Samsung Galaxy Camera to work.
- Native Google Maps/Navigation says there is no network connection even though I can go in Chrome on the device and connect and find things (but no step-by-step) using maps.google.com and Gmail and other network programs from Google and others work fine. Since the Galaxy Camera supports a SIM card but I never use it (I carry a WiFi dongle/MiFi) I'm wondering if it is trying to get on AT&T even though the WiFi is active?
- Tried CoPilot GPS, and it insisted on first installing their offline maps that are 13 Gigs. Wouldn't let me set it up to use my SD card, and wouldn't let me use without installing maps first
- Tried MapFactor Navigation and the free version won't let you enter a street address. You can give country, then state, then street, but unless you can find a cross street it knows about, you get directions that are "in the area". Paid version supposedly supports the usual address search, but who wants to pay to find out if it really does?
Anything that I can do to get Google Maps to work right or some other program that will work if I always have WiFi?
After a couple hours of Google Fu, I discovered the issue was with the latest version of the Maps application. When Google removed Latitude it also messes with the setting for whether to report location or not, and gets confused.
To fix this you have to go into Application Manager, go to Maps, choose "Uninstall Updates". Then go to the Play Store and choose to update. When it finishes the update and you see the button in the store change to "Open" make SURE to open the application from there. That will then give you the chance to accept the new terms of service, and to select the proper location reporting setting.
After that it works properly. Supposedly several folks with other Galaxy products and the latest Nexus products encountered the same issue.
I've tried two clean installs of milaq's 10.2 nightly (the latest two)... with the correct gapp version (and tried others), but I get a no connection error when trying to access the Play store and syncing isn't working. I seemingly successfully added my google account with 2-step verification and everything.
I'm connected to wifi and can surf the web just fine. Just before this I was on some CM9 nightly and everything worked fine. This is frustrating and time-wasting. Any ideas?
I just did another clean install using the recommended install package (10.1) from the easy install guide. Same exact issue. Dunno what the heck is going on.
UGH, I figured it out. So stupid, so lame. The touchpad thought I'd entered the right password for my google account, I thought I'd entered the right password for my google account, in fact I HAD entered the right password.
But it didn't work for whatever reason (and didn't tell me the password wasn't working). I had to create an application-specific password in google account settings and input THAT password. Now it works. And I wasted too many hours.
I had exactly the same issue yesterday. It was the right password (I re-installed Android TWICE). Seems that the authentication DOES require a 'one off' password to be added to your google account security, which worked fine for me. Two factor auth has worked fine for me before. Maybe someone needs to make a note of this on the relevant ROM pages. This was CM10.2 20140303 I installed to (and I asked this question on pafe 83 I think).

noob can't use play store
Hi all, I am having the same problem. Could you please explain in noob terms how u resolved this issue? What is one off??? And how do you set an application specific password in google settings?
If your logged into google.com visit: https://www.google.com/settings/security
You then have the options for "App Passwords".
Give it a name (I just used touchpad), doesn't matter. Click generate, and it'll make you a password you will only see once.
Use that password to login to the touchpad. I had to remove my account in settings, and re add it, using this password instead of my usual.
Pain in the bum two factor not working anymore, but at least it works.
Hello All,
Apologies if this has been addressed already. I did try to search for the issue and have found various articles outside of XDA, but none internally. Yesterday, or perhaps the day before, I noticed I was unable to update any of my apps via the Google Play Store.
I tried the basic troubleshooting steps.
Reset mobile data.
Did a clear cache and data on the Play Store app, as well as Google Play Services (this also kicked me back to an older version of play, when I go to settings and click build, it says it will install a new version of Play, i.e. the one I had prior to a Data clear, but I never get it).
Removed and re-added my google account on my phone.
Stopped short of doing a factory reset, as I am not too keen on doing so just yet.
Called Google Support (or rather, used their callback feature built into the play store app), and they were absolutely clueless. The guy literally said, there is no solution to this problem and hung up on me, sounded like the gentlemen may have been from Africa, or the call center in Africa. Whatever the case, it was clear he had absolutely no technical knowledge or ability other than reading 3 lines from a script.
In any event, has anyone else been experiencing this issue, and is there a solution and/or any insight or updates regarding this?
Thanks in advance.
Do you get any errors from Play Store while trying to update apps?
No errors, whatsoever. Just stuck on downloading. Tried it over WI-FI and it still didn't work. Then went tried a different Wi-Fi and was able to download apps and update apps again, but I still can't download or update anything over my mobile network.
At one point, I got a timeout message coded (925). Searched around for that, and none of the fixes worked (I had already tried tjose fixes anyway).
MODERATOR, please move this to the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 5 forum. Apologies. I was at work when posting this, and didn't check which forum I was in when posting. This should be addressed in the T-Mobile Note 5 forum. Thanks!!
Clear data and cache of Play Store app, then connect to VPN (change your IP address to another country), and run Play Store, see if it works or not.
Ok TAEL, I will try this and get back to you.
Found the culprit. Apparently, on the Note 5, there are fine grained settings for restricting background data for certain apps and processes. I had restricted background data for "Media", and this was the issue. Thank you for your help!
You silly guy, you.
Hi,
Working on trying to get multi user working on my Google Home in Oz. Had anyone got it working yet outside of the US?
Cheers.

I was trying to get this to work in Aus as well. In the end I could only get it working when using the ios Google Home app. Then the "Multi user" notification popped up consistently. Just make sure you set the language and region to English US.
I can't get it to work in Sweden either. US version of Home, all languages and regions set to US but I do not get the multi user functionality on any Android or ios device... Maybe they use ip number to verify location before they enables it? All other functionality works fine.
any update on this?
No success so far.. I installed a VPN on my Dd-wrt router with a US based IP number and confirmed with IP location site that the external IP is located in US for all devices on my wifi . Then I created a new Google user on my phone (without sim card) and GPS turned off. Unlinked Google home from previous user and did initial setup of GH with the the new user. The multi user funtionality came up! Success? No.. After training it with my voice it just keeps loading and never finalize the process... Grrr. Hope someone else have better luck!
have you performed factory reset on your GH before seting up the vpn connection?
i am trying to do the same WA but had no time to setup vpn on router.
also with the new features presented during google i/o yesterday i would love to have them sooner than later
I did the factory reset on the GH after the VPN were in place. I will do a new attempt this weekend with an iPhone instead. Will report after.
No luck.. With an iPhone, USA VPN on the router and factory reset on the GH the multi user setup show up directly after initial setup. I can successfully go trough all steps including training it for my voice but afterwards it just ask me do it the same setup once again... It seems like it does not register the data correctly. I will move on. Hope someone else have better luck!
Success
Finally, I did it!
I did a lot of stuff and I'm not really sure what did the trick, but I now have multiple accounts working on my device.
First of all, I have a VPN on my access point with an American ip address.
I also did these all:
Spoofed my phone and the other phone (second account) GPS locations to one single address in the US.
Set my home address on the assistant settings to that spoofed address.
Set my time zone to that zone
Removed both phones' sim cards (and put back in at some point? I'm not sure)
Factory reset the gh, and on new setup set the address to that spoofed address (all addresses the same)
At this point, it's not a matter of Google home anymore. In your phone's Google assistant settings you shall see a new section "shared devices" right under personal info section. Use that shared devices page to add a new shared device (your gh), train your voice and done.
On the second phone, go to shared devices and add a new device. (I never got the blue multi user notification during the process)
Once finished, you can set everything to normal again. Once you did the setup it won't log you out.
Good luck

Thanks man
Great job!
I performed factory reset on my phone and after installing google home app i noticed that the shared device option showed up. After setting up gh for my user i tried to do the same on my wife's phone but no luck, shared device and other options are missing. I then declared her account on my phone but every time i switch to her account a lot of options are missing for the app like home control, shared devices etc.
Hi guys! Google is rolling out the multiuser support in the UK... without any hope I tried with mine (I live in France) and it works here too!!... go ahead and do it quickly, just in case it is just an error from their side.
yesterday i managed to setup multi-user on my wife's phone but not with google home app as it didn't showed the shared devices option but with google assistant.
steps i performed were:
- setup multi-user on my phone using google home app. i had to go into settings -> shared devices -> add GH -> setup multi-user
- on my wife's phone google home app didn't showed shared device so I started the google assistant app -> settings -> shared devices -> add GH -> setup multi-user
i didn't used any VPN or gps spoofing, the only thing is that the language needs to be set to English US or Canada
Google Home COUNTRY ID
I cannot change country ID anyway ... Any new idea how to get full features from Google Home out of the US?
Google Home Country ID
Thx you very much
My solution
You have to deny all devices to access to location for Google Home app (1.)! All your devices must be set to English US, no other one English work (2.). You will not see to blue "multi user available" but on the other devices with other account you will see blue bar with "link account". This helped me. I suppose to restart all devices after setup mentioned above.

Thanks for the tip!
I would like to add that this may only work if you uninstall the Home app on all the devices you want to pair to your Google Home speakers before you do what Petrmenzel is writing.
Here is what i did. I assume the secondary device is another person thus another voice than yourself, and not just two different of your own accounts as google cant know the difference between two accounts with the same voice profile.
Uninstall Google Home App on all devices
Change language on all devices to English (United States)
Reboot devices (not sure if this is necessary, but I did it to ensure the language was completely changed)
Reinstall Google Home App on all devices
When you open the Home App, deny the app access to location
If you did not unpair the Home speaker on your primary device it should still be paired, otherwise, pair it again.
On the secondary device(s), you should now be able to see "Link account" as a blue bar in the device list on your home speaker, click on it.
Now it should ask you to train the voice model and all that standard setup stuff, once done you should have two devices paired to the Google home device, and you can once again allow the Home app to access device location and both accounts should stay linked.
To test that this works, simply try asking your google home "Hey Google, what is my name" and afterward having the user of the secondary device ask the same question. If it correctly states your names it should be fully working.
Note that this was tested in Denmark with a US version of Google Home, a UK Version of the Google Pixel phone as primary, and a Danish version of a Samsung Galaxy A8 as secondary

Im in South Africa. I actually had an online chat with a google representative that ended up phoning me to help me out. This is what I ended up doing:
On my phone in the Google Home app I added my wife's gmail account. I then went to Account > Settings > Voice match.... Voice Match was previously unavailable for her. Did the voice training module. Then voila, she can access her account on all our Google Home devices (5 of them). I then removed her account off my phone. Simple as that.
