I have a weird issue with Google voice and just wanted to see if anyone else had the same problem. I had Google voice installed before the JB update and then after the update the app is still installed as a system app but it's not in the app drawer.
I'm a Canadian user. Could it be that it's being blocked cause of carrier, it didn't use to?
Also the version of Google voice on my phone is a newer version than in the market.

I think I had this happen with a different app and fixed it in ROM manager with a "Fix Permissions". It's worth a shot.

Permission is rw-r-r
For the sports to work you have to go to dashboard and enable web history and then search for your tram. Eg. Scores for xx then it will add your tram

Hey guys,
I have two quick questions:
Does the default TTS require an internet connection?
Would it be better to store TTS files and play them if available instead of generating a new one every time, both in terms of performance and connection (if it's used)?
Thank you
I believe it doesmt .

Hi
As I am playing with my Nexus 5(I just transferred to Android from iPhone), I came up with two questions:
1) How do I personalize Google Now? It seems like anyone can activate it.
2) I saw 4.3 has App ops in the setting, which I cannot find in nexus 5.
Please if any one can clarify my questions.
Thanks!
2) >settings >apps is still there

Sorry I'm quite new to this, and I saw that, but that is different from the App Ops I saw from 4.3, where you can set the permission to each app (such as location access).
Thanks!

Google Now cannot be "personalised" as such. Not by options anyway. It will react to your searches and positions. Once you use the phone with Google Now activated it will learn your work and home positions and times and tell you how long to work and when you should leave to get there on time. It will also do many many other things. Searches with Google Now will personalise it more and more.
I have never seen that app ops option but I do recall something about cyanogenmod having the ability to change an app's permissions. Maybe the 4.3 you saw was actually someone using a custom ROM called CyanogenMod. I'm sure it won't be too long until they release a version for the Nexus 5... If they haven't already.

Android 4.3 had the hidden feature called 'app ops', but you could only open it with a different launcher like Nova. This allowed you to set the permissions for every app installed. As far as I know 'app ops' is not available in 4.4 anymore.
The only reason I ask about the personalize Google now is whoever around me have the same phone saying okay Google and all the phones pop with Google now.
I thought it should tailor to your voice to avoid this happening.

Almost all antivirus companies have device tracking enabled through web.if you configured and recalled the data.you can track the location of phone and can remote swipe/sms and many more.I have tested that using kaspersky and NOD32 and webroot.this is the only chance to track else after stolen people throw away SIM,format the phone or change the IMEI so impossible to track back.
I'm using avast! (Free) It has quite an extensive lost/stolen system built into it aswell as all the antivirus stuff. One thing I like about avast! (Not sure who else has this) it has a setting called 'Geo fencing'. Once set, if your phone leaves a, user set, distance from your current point, it automatically locks your phone and triggers any other protection activities, and sends a SMS to a pre-set cell number. Good for night clubs or busy shopping malls incase you get pick pocketed.

Avast! is pretty good when it comes to tracking.
Thanks for suggestions. Don't necessarily wanna install an anti virus on the phone.. Find they slow it down ( I know some people may disagree, but that's not the topic)

Android now has a built in phone locator which can be activated in Settings > Security > Device administrators. Check Android Device Manager.
Uses Google's push service so it doesnt poll battery.

In addition, I use AndroidLost from Play Store. Runs through Google servers so no background usage. Has an advanced plethora of controls on the web interface. Check it out.
Google Device Manager
I have enjoyed using Google Device Manager. It has the ability to ring my phone for 5 mintues so I can find it easier. As well as the ability to locate it. Although like everything else depends on data connection. So if I lost in a park with a dead battery... NO DICE.

AndroidLost supports SMS controls. You could send an SMS message to activate GPS and auto reply the location, or you could send a message to enable WiFi/data and track that way.

Try Google Device Manager if you don't want to deal with a whole antivirus
Thank you for all the suggestions !! I'll look into each one as soon as i get a moment. I'm sure others will benefit from these as well

agreed, i use android device manager. used to use the samsung version, but now that google offers it then i'll use that one.
I used to use Avast, but now I can just use Google's Device Manager or even CyanogenMod's which is crude for now.
Device manager seems to work well. It allows you to locate the device from another browser using Google maps, allows yo to ring the phone even if it's on vibrate or silent and once set up allows you too lock/erase all data from it.

cerberus is the best option for little money ( 3 € ) can have about 5 devices, and allows for many things, what I'm wearing and not disappointed.
Check out "Wheres my droid" from the play store. It is full of great features. Can set up triggers from text or phone numbers to make it ring. You can get is location from sending a specific text to your phone. You can lock it down,take a pic and even wipe it clean. Great app

Actually, this is a really important point. Which of these apps are still able to perform their advertized functions after it is being lost? Supposedly, whoever is in possession of the phone will through out SIM card and do a factory reset so all apps that use google services will not work anymore as they are Signed out... Are apps from antivirus suites immune to this?
When I look at Google maps where I am is not accurate. But if I start using navigation then it puts me on the correct street?
Any ideas why?

Bug methinks. I get that sometimes too.
Seeing a stupid comment on Google Play about an app you love and marking it as "spam". You've done it too.
It's bloody annoying. Lol

If you've ever played around with app ops check 'Google play services' has location enabled

there are 3 levels of accuracy on your device, make sure its on high accuracy and you have google play services enabled.
what it is ...
Google's fancy scarier than the NSA ability to know where most router mac's live on the globe
as you move room to room down the block , drive around it pings routers and other id's for location and more than triangulates
long story short you in turn give google the power to sniff and locate new tags and it makes life better for everyone..
high accuracy doesn't really drain all that much more on the N5,.... anyway give thanks if its deserved my old ass account seems fake to XDA all of this sudden,.,
