[Q] Google Maps 5.8 Sensation - "Add a place" not visible - HTC Sensation

Just update to 5.8 version of google maps, but i can't see the button "Add a place" when check in.
I can see the button available on my friend's Nexus !
Any one have the same problem?
Any suggesttion to fix this? Thanks you!
Ps: Sorry for my bad English!

Your English is better than some Americans ... not to worry
Can you tell us what exactly you are doing? On mine, I click "Check in". I type in the name of the place I am and it then gives me a "Add Place" option.

How can I update maps? I'm still on 5.1 and I can't see new in market.

You don't have to go to anywhere. Just open Market > go to My Apps > and it will shows an update is available for Maps.

In some countries update is not available.

What country do you live in? I know some countries are not integrated into Google fully yet. I would say that this is your problem with 90% certainty.

Taking unknown sources is a gamble as to whether or not they work perfectly. Your friend with the N1 might have a "vanilla" version of Google Maps that is more friendly

I'm In Vietnam, but my friend's Nexus 1 the "add place" button apear, he is running CM7

How to use it
when you click Uninstall, it will DELETE your current gps.conf, if you'd like to keep it just in case, please be sure to rename it or make a backup. This is YOUR responsibility.
After you uninstall it, click the one which matches your location. The program will download the proper XML file, and it wil place it in the right directory, and it will set all the proper permissions for you.
Thanks to tweezit for the suggestion (and testing) and kev0153 for the original gps configuration files.
Download Bloater 0.72
PS> this program is designed to be easily expandable, apps, whatever. Open to suggestions
Guys this will be a great app to use for people with GPS issues as you can now select the area you live in to get the best results.
Great job birgertime as you exceeded in what I was talking about.
When I install it all I got was a few launchers, no GPS fix.

For those with the Netflix build.prop edit, the model number reads exactly "HTC Vision" without the quotes of course.
I have one question. When I open Bloater all of the regions say Uninstall. Does this mean they are all currently installed on my phone? I only see one gps.conf file when I look in /etc
It's only one installed. It appears all 'uninstall' buttons mean uninstall you current gps.conf file. When you have selected that all the buttons will say 'install', then select 'install' on the region you want.

Those of you with modified build props to the HTC Vision you should be able to see the fixes.
Can I install all of them or do I just have to install my region?

Just so you guys know installing them all can actually slow down GPS. Hence why this is the best method as now you can choose what satellite you actually need to be using.

it's all replacing that one gps.conf file, which is why it says "uninstall" on all of them, as it sees that there's a gps.conf file.
just choose which one is closest to you and hit install on that one. it did wonders for me
Can you please display a map or boundaries for what states fall under which category

I honestly have no idea. TweezIt suggested I do something like this, and I already had Bloater coded, so I just adapted it to his idea (of the different GPS configs being easily interchangeable).

Update:
Google play store frist two versions 3.46 & 3.47 mostly don not come with new ,,,,
but v3.5.15 comes.
What is new :
1. The My Apps list now stands bifurcated into two lists: INSTALLED and ALL. Go to My Apps using the Menu and you’ll be presented with INSTALLED tab, swipe left go to ALL apps list and swipe right to get back to INSTALLED apps list. As you would expect, the list apps you’ve purchased (whether under sale, or normally) but don’t have installed on the device are under ALL apps list/tab.
2. App reviews by users has received a major update too. You are now able to sort reviews — by most helpful first and newest first — and can filter the reviews for the app by the latest version of the app, and by your own device, meaning only reviews made by users who the same device you are suing will show up. Pretty nice, eh! One more thing, the device used by the user when reviewing the app is shown with the review.
3. Other little updates:
* On the ALL apps tab under My Apps, you get an option to select your Google account (only if you have more than one Google account added, of course), as a drop down, meaning you don’t have to choose it by going to settings anymore.
* All accounts you’ve added on the device show up for selection once you tap on the drop down, which shows the names of the account you’re currently using.
* Installed apps which weren’t showing in the Play Store’s earlier versions (whether that be v3.4.7, or v3.4.6) now get recognized and duly shown under my Apps’ INSTALLED tab.
​
*It is supposed to be auto updated if not or you do not like to wait download here :

I write in the thread that is auto updated if you read it & you may consider that I say what is new.
Get a 940 error (cannot be found) e.g. the newer XDA app.
I tried installing from my previous installs but it cannot be found on the Market (ok, Play Shop) I'm assuming that updating with an apk that isn't officially released yet is the issue?

Hi there, just wanted to share my latest app. Amazon daily app
If you are a user of the Amazon app-shop like me, you may have encounter the same problem as me:
- Being "forced" to download the free app of the day to add it to your account
Well you can still cancel the download once it's launch, but hey ... it was bothering me.
So here it is, with "Amazon daily app" you can see what is the app of the day, add it to your account, or download it (still need to get it by the amazon app).
Feel free to leave me comments and remarks.
If you do like the app or just want to help, a nice comment/rate on the app sotre wil be appreciated
And if you don't like it, there's plenty of apps that will certainly suit you on XDA (but no rate & comment will be appreciated ^^)
Play store link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chimerique.AmazonDailyFreeApps.free
Cheers :highfive:
I've been waiting for this. I use the "free app of the day" app, but they're mostly things I'm not interested in so it'll be uninstalled soon. I much prefer the Amazon free apps, but unfortunately this isn't compatible with my phone (HTC One).
I'll be all over this as soon as I can be
Strange, can you tell me which version of Android you are running on your phone ?
Should definitly be compatible ...

It probably is more likely to be a version issue than a device issue. I'm on 4.2.2.

It works for me now too. Thanks for sorting that
Edit: Why does it need login credentials? You don't need them to find out what the free app is.
Not that the app is not useful but you can also bookmark http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b/ref=topnav_storetab_mas?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011 from pc or mobile device to see the app of the day and "purchase" it without downloading. This will work for all devices period.

True, that's why at the beginning I only wanted to load the webpage, and play with custom CSS, in sort to see only needed information, and have a more user friendly interface. But performance wasn't really there, so I decided to go a bit further in the process
The other objective (not sure it should be done) is to automate all this process, and just grab every day the free app. This is only if I found a nice way to keep the session open (token or whatever)
@Archer: The credential are not needed to see what's the free app. It's only asked once you decide to "buy" it (for free) with your amazon account. Basically the credential is always ask to authenticate yourself to amazon website, as I don't want (for now) to store your password.
Hi there, little heads up for the last version which now can give you a daily reminder!
Some people did ask for it, so I added the possibility to save your password and so not have to type it each time.
The password is encrypted and save.
But still be aware that this is no safe mesure, and you should definitly use a dummy account for this.

Google Assistant
For those who want google assistant.
Here is an easy way to get it if you are rooted.
Using root explorer or any other text editor
add the following line to your "build.prop"
file which is located in root system/ and
add the following:
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
Be sure to SAVE the updated build.prop fille
after adding that line.
After that go to the play store and make sure that you have
the latest update of the google app and then reboot your
phone...
That's all there is to it.
Good luck, have a great day!
Is it the same assistant as in Google Allo?

Not yet... I read that it may take a week or two for it to roll out to everyone, but I may call Google soon (since I doubt I'll get a reply with email, and you can't really chat with them via text.) And ask them what's up and if there's anything I can do to get it now.

You just need to go into settings and change what a long press on the home button launches
today there is a new Google service update 10.5.35 which supports google assistant.. but it is not for 1440p (v.440) yet
maybe it will be in the upcoming few days
Update:
Some users confirm that it is working with 10.2.98 !
Just got Assistant about an hour ago.
