When I click on an address in a contact it pulls up the locations app is there a way to change this to Google maps?
I have a rooted inspire 4G.
Thanks!
Clear the app data.
You must have it set as default

How can I save my contacts address with Google map link and use it directly through the contact information
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
When you 'star' a place, maps will give you an option to save it as a contact.
Yes that's right but it save it as a seperate contact and it just name the area not the exacted place with longitude

Well Google Maps isn't accurate enough to give you a specific address based on GPS fix. Google's Contacts have a field for postal address, which can't be mapped accurately by GPS/Google Maps. So there's really no field in Contacts that can be mapped to a location specifically.
The best thing to do is just type the address in.

You can 'Join' it to the contact you want or add it to existing contact. It won't do longitude but will point to the place when you click on it from within a contact.
Clever idea.but there era two problems the first I lost that address if I lost the internet connection for long time and the second that link is usabile for one time only. Thx for help.I am asking if there is a way to make the longitude as a link to Google maps. Thx again

What do you mean one time only? I can use a few I've saved. And how would you use maps without an internet connection, anyway?
For some reason my google search doesn't show the history anymore when I type in something and my old searches don't show up any suggestions?

You either arent logged in to the same google account on your phone or you cleared history by accident.

Then change Physical address and Map address to the app you want to use.
After installing google voice and skype, when i try to make a phone call tonight it only gives me the option to use either of those two apps. No more option to just call out using the default service with my regular phone #... i have gone into manage applications and made sure neither google voice or skype is checked for default dialer...suggestions?

Hello all,
I've decided to ditch Gmail and use the stock mail app. One if my accounts was hacked recently so Google had me add an extra layer of protection that when ever I sign in from another new device (or when I change ROMS) it sends me a verification code in a text message to complete the sign in. Is this what's preventing me from being able to sign into my account using the HTC mail app? Is there a way around it or something I'm missing when trying to set it up.
Thanks,
Mark

You have to go into your Google security settings and get a unique password that you will use for the HTC mail app. You will use the password supplied when you setup the mail app instead of your Google password. You will find it near the bottom of the security screen.

Where are the Google security settings at? I was able to go to Google settings and hit the 3 dots on the to right and one of the options was to get a verification code and it gave me one. I tried to use it as a password without a space in the middle and with but it still says failed.

I am not near a computer right now but you might need to get to the Google security settings via a browser. A verification code will definitely not work. You need to set an app specific password. Try to Google search "two step authentication app specific password" sorry I can't be of more help right now. If I was near a computer I could give you exact steps.

Then click on settings for app passwords
It will generate a one time use password that will not be shown again after initially generated. You can save it if you wish, but you can generate as many as you wish so there really isn't a need. You can also revoke it at any time.
Thanks to both of you for the help. It worked like a charm.

Glad you got it to work. Too bad Google doesn't make that function a bit more obvious.
