Please share your GNOW Google Now strange suggestions - Android Apps and Games

Hi,
Please share the strange recommendations that Google Now makes.
Google Now GNOW tells me that I should leave to go to work in places that I don't work, tells me to go home to where I don't live, reminds me to go to odd places like a carpet store that I have never been to and have no intention of visiting.
Have you had similar experiences? Would you please share them with me?
What is the cause?
thanks

Lmao that's some funny stuff. I don't have any but do u know of anything funny it says for certain questions or statements ? Like siri does maybe?

yes.
told me my destination to work and ETA of arrival time at 2am in the morning. lol

You used to be able to ask it "where am I?" and it would bring up results for amnesia. But I don't think it works anymore.
Edit: its "What's my name?". And it still works

Yeah, that random stuff is happening to me as well..
I'll be just in the gym or something, and then you see it

App to auto-send texts?

Hey.
I had a search around, but found nothing for this on the HTC threads. Sorry if its been covered before.
Every morning I send a text, saying exactly the same thing.
When Im on my way home, I send another text. Same thing every day.
Is there an App that will allow me to do that, without having to type out the text?
It just does it by its self.
That would be awesome.
Thanks everyone
I am also looking for one my self. to auto send a sed text at a set time..
Handy for annoying the wife lol
I'm sure I have seen reference to task and profile schedulers around XDA. Perhaps mopre searching (inlcuding the General section) would uncover something. Perhaps a utility that texts someone automatically to tell them that you are on your way home is note necessarily the best thing in the world, espcicially if you are lying critically ill in a ditch and everyone thinks you are fine (cos you cant use your fone yourself, cos you're dying). I alw3ays thought that the reason for sending someone a text to say you were on your way home was so they knoew you were safe, so you would always do that manually. I guess I'm just old fashioned.

Hehe...maybe OP is a stalker who sends a msg to his victim every morning and night "I'm gonna get you..."
In that case I would say automation is good. Afterall, he needs all the spare time to avoid the cops.

FYI Gameloft Rip-Off potential

Hey you know all those free and 99 cent apps that Gameloft had during Thanksgiving? Make sure you back up those apks before flashing your phone. I flashed mine back to stock tonight and when I went to the Gameloft site, they had no record of me purchasing anything. Fortunately I remembered I had backed them up previously. My paranoia paid off!
How does that make gameloft a rip-off? The same thing would happen with there full price apps create an account with gameloft if you want them to remember your games
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
And I did that first - before I ever downloaded anything to begin with.
Fortunately, I have my receipts from Paypal for the 3 games I bought. Opened a case with Gameloft, just to make sure my account gets fixed.
I'm pretty sure that flashing a new firmware to your phone can cause the website to think it is a completely different phone. I had setup an account and this happened to me.
I just emailed them with the list of games that I had downloaded and they sent me on the APKs. No hassle at all. Some of the best customer service that I have had. I had bought 2 games and gotten 1 in a free offer. So I had 2 paypal receipts and they still emailed me on the 3 apk files.
Pretty misleading title since you hadn't actually dealt with them to get the APKs back.
Sorry, I didn't mean to be misleading, that's why I said POTENTIAL for a rip-off. I didn't say it -was- a rip-off. But when they ask for your phone number and account login info and you give it and it comes back and says you haven't purchased anything, that's very suspicious. I just wanted to give everyone the heads-up to make sure to back their apks up if they are going to wipe and reinstall.
However, as you stated, I emailed them, and they sent me the links to download the APKs. Great! Glad they did - but isn't it interesting I didn't have any trouble getting my EA games back? Just sayin'.
Hey, don't flame me, man! I'm OLD! But I mean well!
Sorry, Gameloft! You are NOT a rip-off!
Wish gameloft just used the market because its really annoying having to go to their website.
Gameloft ain't rip offs. In fact they are the best. The problem with order & chaos recently. I sent them an email and gave me the update within the next day, then when I told them the play controls weren't working and could only play it with touch screen they are now giving me 95 runes for the trouble and letting me keep the game. 95 runes is equivalent to £15 as you have to pay to get runes. Now I say that don't sound like rip offs to me. Who looks a fool now ?

Right it looks at the device too. When you buy a game it give you the one for that specific device. Also it knows what games work and don't for each device. Hence why with some devices there are only 21 games or the play has 42 games fir example. So when you go into it on a different fw or Rom it knows that q change has been made and for fraud purposes they have to do that. If you think. I have 4 SE devices. The play, Arc S, X10i and the Ray. Now I bought games for the x10 and when I went onto it on my Arc S it didn't show the games. But.... It does say on there site on the downloads page. Games that you bought for this DEVICE. So why does that make them a potential to be rip offs. I think you need to stop wasting server space and also post in the right section. I.E. The general or Q&A section. Think before making threads like this. If you read it properly on there website it does say what you bought for that device and when changing fw they know. Or everyone could just use my fw and dl my games that I paid for. They need to do that as like I said it is to prevent fraud.

aahahaha. Your the one who is being rude and attacking. I didn't call you names I was just saying. Also this thread is not about apps its about a company so yes it should not be in this thread. Also I am reporting you for being rude and disrespectful by telling me to bite you. Oh and calling me names. Which is not allowed at xda. At the end of the day you are going on about a company being rip offs and running your mouth before you even think. If you had just checked and emailed gameloft they would of sorted it out. But instead you decided to come here and start accusing and saying gameloft are or could be rip offs. So..... I would just think before you start saying things again and also before you start flaming other members as well. I was just explaining how they work on their website and was just saying this thread is in the wrong section. No where in this thread is there anything about an app but instead a company. So this means its in the wrong thread. Really..... you need to slow down and think.

So why were any of your comments necessary at ALL, since I had already said what Gameloft did to correct my impression AND say "Sorry Gameloft, you are -not- a ripoff." It's not like I could kill the whole thread at that point. Did you really think your post(s) added anything productive or useful?
Furthermore, Gameloft sells APPS, the APPS in question were previously mentioned in other threads IN THIS SECTION, which was why it made sense to me to post my warning about a POTENTIAL issue with those same apps. Everyone knows that almost nobody ever reads the General or Questions section, because that's where the n00bs ask things like "I just bought an Xperia Play. What should I do now?"
Finally - I concede that the "bite me" and "twit" comments were unnecessary, and I apologize for making them. However, your entire POSTS were unnecessary as well.
And here's me thinking that this thread was put to bed after about four posts.
Tbh Blackwatch, it looks to me like you goaded net into a response. It was all pretty civil till you showed up.

And I wasn't the one who was uncivil at all. I guess you didn't read the whole thread. I wasn't the one flaming and throwing a tantrum. In fact all I said was that this is in the wrong thread and my views on him saying gameloft are or have potential to rip you off. Everyone here is allowed to have there say and say there views but no one is allowed to flame and curse or swear in that matter as bite me is an American swear word. So..... I think you are again another one who needs to stop picking sides and stay the hell out of our little argument. Where does it say everyone join this argument. Leave it to me and him to sort out and everyone else stay the hell out of our argument. I didn't start an argument at in fact he did by cursing and flaming. Thread is being reported to be closed and his post is too for an infraction. Oh and just so you get it into your heads I will say it one more time. I DIDNT START THE ARGUMENT!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude. We sorted this out ages ago. But this other guy seems to think it's ok to carry it on. I have asked for a thread closure as I'm sure we both agree it dint need to be open no more as it's just now attention to the trolls and dude there is no need to buy me a beer. Also I will be releasing a Rom soon and I need someone to be a tester for me. So if you want as a special and personal request I want you to be one of my testers and that's you and you only from this thread. I have someone else who I am testing for and he will test mine as well. Pm me and let me know.

Does your phone suck??

Hey everyone, so i got my Skyrocket, CPU clock is 20% faster than S2, but it feels like its 100% slower. I use my Google Maps A LOT, and the amount of lag i get it UNREAL!!! I zoom in, my phone zooms out or moves my map,or i try to zoom in 5 times and absolutely nothing happens, 10 sec later it finally decides to zoom in, WTF?? None of my games from Gameloft work, says device is not compatible. Skype is also pretty retarded. Takes 3 swipes to unlock my phone,,ugh facepalm!! My galaxy S2 was amazing out of the box even without root or custom rom, so my question is, do all of these problems go away with rooting and flashing with the Skyrocket? Straight out of the box this phone is CRAP, i loved all my Samsungs, but this one....HUGE disappointment, i dont know how anyone can introduce such a bad phone into the market!!
I know this thread sucks..

What do you expect ? This is a Skyrocket forum.. you come on here and tell the forum the phone SUCKS and you want somebody to understand? lol
I have had this phone since it came out on Nov 6.. this phone does not suck and have no issues you are crying about.
But I have stated before, I am a grown man and don't play games on my phone so I can't help you there.
Grow up and be thankful we have nice phones like these to play with.. things could be worse.

What else would you call a SO CALLED "PHONE", that keeps dropping my calls, Google Maps dont work, games dont work, apps dont work. Last time i held a good phone, it was capable of doing all the things i just listed, this one tho...??
I have None of the issues your talking about. Its you or you have a faulty device and need to exchange it. Ive had the gs2 and skyrocket. There both great phonesn gery fast. And the skyrocket i actually like much better. No lag for me. Everything works very fast. It operator error or you need to exchange it. But you need to learn what xda is for before making another post like your op. This thread is a waste of time, trolling. And you do not deserve any help because of the manner in which you posted/trolled.

Stop trying to get a rise out of people OP. I've seen enough here. If you're not happy with the phone then search for the answers and try to improve it. If you can't find an answer then you ask, politely, not like you 're just here to rant. And if I see you use the word "fag" again, your account will be MIA like a Dolphin.
