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

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

Well it was from Amazon and they don't accept Google Wallet so I don't think it would be stored there. I check just in case no Amazon or plastidip listed

Interesting. I had checked the desktop website, but now I checked the mobile app and yes I see my Amazon purchases. This one is missing however, possibly because of the deleted email I guess. Shouldn't have done that.

You sure its not archived anywhere by accident? That's another way. What about just pressing the 3 dots next to the notification and seeing if you can clear it?

Nope deleted for sure. I can clear the notification, but it comes back after a couple of days. I don't remember what the options where when clicking the dots, but I think it was just "do you want to keep receiving updates based on your emails?"

[APP] Google Now Android L (Root+Non-Root Methods)

Hi everyone,
All the Google Now threads have all the steps and procedure to make Android L's "always listening" mode work; but they do not work for all users. This method, which I discovered on Youtube, worked for me and should work for all rooted devices running Android 4.4+ (KitKat).
Prerequisites:
Android 4.4+ (Kit Kat)
Unleash the Google app: View attachment UnleashTheGoogle.apk **THIS WILL ONLY WORK FOR ROOTED DEVICES**
The latest Google Now launcher: View attachment GoogleHome.apk
And the latest Google Search app which I could not upload due to size limit: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid...B] [URL="http://d-h.st/kCa"]http://d-h.st/kCa
The work:
1) Make sure you have both the latest Google Now Launcher and Search app downloaded
2) Once you have those, install Unleash the Google... Grant root access.
3) Force close the Google Search app by going to settings>apps>Google Search> force close
4) After that all these options will pop up in Google Now Launcher's settings, if followed the instructions correctly.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
5) Next what you would do is click "config flags" and scroll down until you see "e300_voice_everywhere, embedded_endpoint, and enable_e300" and make sure you turn them all on.
6) Then scroll down to "speaker_id_supported_locales" and put "en-US" **US has to be capital**
7) Scroll down and save the settings by clicking "Save config settings"
- Note that no toast notification will pop up saying that the settings have been saved. Force close Google Search just in case.
If you have done everything correctly, a new option (Audio History) in the voice settings in the Google Now Launcher settings should pop up. Make sure you have it turned on.
8) While in the voice settings, go to "Ok Google Detection" and click "from any screen"
9) Profit!
Credits:
All credits go to the person who made the video, which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R1B-t_Wsf4
Note:
The version of Google Search that Android L comes with is 3.5.13, while the version you need for the "Ok Google" detection anywhere is 3.5.14. I have already linked to the download of 3.5.14 in the "Prerequisites" section.
Update:
1) It appears as if the rollout is per account. So no matter what users try, it is up to Google for enabling the feature to their account. Sorry! :/
2) It only works in the US? Someone please confirm.
3) This mod requires KitKat in order for it to work.
Fixes:
If you are experiencing force closes with Google Search, try flashing the latest PA GAPPs, which can be found here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15800
For Italian Users: http://www.androidworld.it/forum/gu...le-everywhere-con-google-search-3-5-a-142371/
Warnings:
This mod is known to cause battery drain.
For Non-Rooted Users:
If you still are not able to enable the settings, try doing this method:
Open Google Search and do a text search for "Okay Google Everywhere" WITHOUT the quotes.
After that, head into Search settings, then Voice and profit.
Hope these methods worked for you. If you did not get any of the instructions, do comment or you can watch the video.

working perfectly!

Very nice! It wouldn't work at first because I was accessing the Google settings from the HTC Sense launcher but when I accessed it from the Google launcher I was able to get to the new settings and they carried over to the HTC Sense launcher, profit! I didn't even use the unleashed app ? thanks man

Considering its server side, not client, I dont think it has anything to do with this. You might have been in the lucky batch that Google turned this one for. I did the same thing you did, and its not available to me..yet. Yeah it works with GEL but when I swap back to Sense,,it doesnt

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...gs-ok-google-hotword-detection-to-any-screen/
or to sum up the article :
It appears this feature is rolling out by account, not APK. While basically everyone on the AP team is already running the latest version, I'm the only one seeing hotword detection. So, be calm young panda, it'll get to you soon enough.
Update 6/26/14, per Google: "Ok Google from any screen will be rolling out on most Android devices running KitKat over the next week, and will initially be available in the US for English speakers."

OK Google detection

Just factory reset my phone to fix an issue with encryption and for some reason I have no option for OK Google detection from any screen. Option just isn't there. I've disabled a voice but no luck.
Anyone else seeing this?

Same thing happened to me, and some other people over in the galaxys6 reddit sub. I wonder if it has something to do with trusted voices because I now see that in the smart lock settings. Clicking it brings you to google nows OK Google section.
I'm on att if it matters.

Mine updated a couple days ago(staged rollouts) and I did have the ability before that, hopefully they fix it soon.

Uninstall the update and see if that fixes it.

I just checked and mine is gone as well.

Didn't work, option is still missing.

Quick research on the play store shows several people with S6/Edge phones complaining about hotword detection option missing.
And I just checked mine, its missing for me too.

So strange.... had it visible and working on both my new phones this morning, and now GONE - nothing but the one option to launch it from the Google Now screen, all other options done disappeared - wtf mate

Yay I've started something! One of those people on play store with s6 was me

You know what's wild, I've had the always on feature missing from my Nexus 9 for a long time, like months.. G Now just updated this morning, and now suddenly it's working again (???)

Do you guys have the correct language set?

I do. My voice features disappeared as well

Have the same issue. 'Anywhere' hot word detection disappeared yesterday. I also think it must have been the update I ran. Uninstalling the Google now update had no effect though. Also tried setting the language to English US, no effect. Next thing I was going to try was factory reset, but sounds like this don't work either?
Installed Google launcher for the time being. Atleast I can use 'okay Google' from all my home screens until this is resolved.

I got the same problem on my older phone
I fixed it by getting a new phone lol

Can confirm the any screen options are missing on my S6 too, had it before the update a day or 2 ago.

I'm wondering if to start a thread on Google product forums and report as a bug. If enough people post it tends to get escalated to google

Same thing happened with the Moto X.
There is a config flag that lists the 'blacklist' phone models. There used to be an app to force the Google app into debug/dogfood mode so that you could change it - but I haven't seen any way to do that w/ the newest versions. My guess is that Samsung chose to disable listen everywhere to try to force people into using s-voice.

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.
