Spoilers from Google Now - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, I'm not really sure if this would be right forum to post about this. I suppose since N5 has the most Google Now integration it could be. Regardless, feel free to move this if it's not in the right place. Anyway, I'm actually getting a little frustrated by Google Now in the sense that it's spoiling shows. I normally watch shows online the following day after they air, and Google Now gives me news about the most recent episode which often spoils the episode...just figured I see who else noticed this.

Turn off TV updates.

Yeah I should probably do that. They're not really useful anyway except when they tell me that one of my shows is on that night. I usually know anyway.
Edit: I actually can't seem to find it. I clicked on that magic wand but it's missing the tv updates.

Next time you get a TV update, tap the three dots on the card and it should ask you if this information is useful or whether you want to keep receiving those updates, then tap "no" for the relevant question!

I haven't tried the three dots. But it does sometimes ask me when I swipe away a card "was this card relevant" and I usually say no. Sadly, they still show up. I'll try the three dots though next time.

New User Interface

Hello,
Pointui.com has launched a new user interface, similar like iphone and its free.
Check out a detail review over here.
Nice!
Looks very promising. But I think it will be a real memory eater. Can't wait to see the first reviews.
Interface

It does look nice, but you realize that was a demo, right? I'd like to see a real demo with an actual running copy of it with a real finger using it. As far as I could tell, thats just a flash (or similar) example.
BTW the website (with countdown clock) is at http://there-is-no-place-like-home.com/
mfrazzz, if you want to know for sure then go and download it
It's now available.
BTW: I'll retract my above statement after watching this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRw1T-N5dic&feature=user
Looks impressive as the other demo.

Thanks and it looks very slick and is very responsive. I have issues trying to setup my home location for weather though. First, I find it odd that USA is seperate from North America . Then when I select Colorado and choose a letter (C for example) it first loaded the B's. Then I exited out and came back in (as it kept showing B) and did it again. Choose C again and it loaded W's...
Still this look very impressive. Are we allowed to cook this into roms?

Hi mfrazzz, sounds like you are hitting the right of the screen in the area that activates bookmark scroll try clicking in the center or to the left.
In the future it would be great if you guys want to burn it into roms, but if I was you I would wait for a few bugs to get sorted out. We are going to be spending the next few weeks working through issues that have already been raised in our forums.

Yeah, I think my problem is I'm doing quick and light presses. I need to get the feel of this, but if I do a more firm press its selecting thing properly. So I think this is a case of user error in learning this

Yep, fully understand.
Quick question... Is there anyway to get to the Apps that are located in the Start Menu? (\Windows\Start Menu) . This seems to show apps starting at \Windows\Start Menu\Programs . So by default things like Office, Contacts, etc are not available (unless I'm missing something again).
On first blush, I'm impressed so far. Now people need to rewrite the apps underneath so they are more finger friendly too
Hi mfrazzz, try in Favorites.

Its really useful, but theres is some of the thing that is missing in it, if intigerated than it would one of the most useful program a winmo user will ever need. I will write a review on it may be tommorow check my blog.
This looks freaking sweet. There is one thing that I noticed though. Kinetic/Touch scrolling is normally done opposite in the direction of scroll so that the text/image follows the direction of your movement. This seems to bg going in the direction of scroll. Is there a setting to change this?

You can change this. Hit your settings button (upper right gear symbol) The change it to object navigation from slide naviagation)
Also for those that can't close programs. Hit the program name (of the app you have open)in the upper left, then choose force close. So far i have only seen this not work on the phone screen which you have to minimize.
I really like this interface and it's a keeper for me. The only issues i really have is #1) Reoccuring appointments do not show and #2) it defaults to outlooks e-mail instead of the account switcher. i don't use the outlook e-mail, instead i check 2 pop accounts. My work around for now is to add a shortcut to messaging to the startup and access it there.
If anyone has a work around for the above, please post it.
GREAT APP though!
Hi ROCOAFZ, version 1.01b is going to be available soon which allows for an alternative email store - you can specify a different store name and the unread email indicator is the total for all your email accounts. Won't have a screen to update it at this stage - just a registry val to set, but with a bit more time...
1.01b is going to be the first mass test of Update Manager. Man, I hope it works
Recurring appointments - on the list, but don't expect it within the next few days - we're back to day jobs as of tomorrow and presently spending time trying to tackle some of the bigger bugs. Actually, we are spending our time trying to keep up with our forum and getting no coding done
Glad you like it.
Hi everybody,
I have written a detail reveiw of pointui home here check it out.
well i just install it on my phone and i think it's a lovely app. run fairly smooth on my wizard. kinda lag on the switching of viewing mode, unlike the video. beside that i love.

Market officially out of Beta?

I went for the plunge and among everything else I noticed that the Market no longer says Beta next to it. Paid apps on the way soon?
does it allow you to clear the cache and search history?

Also, when in My downloads, when you long press and app it gives you a list
Details(takes you to the market screen, comments, version, ect.)
Open Application
Uninstall
Also new stuff for uninstall
on some apps and I don't know what flags it, but it will say "your purchase of this app has been saved, you can redownload this at anytime without repurchasing it"
New options for why you removed the app
I dont use or want it
I need more space on my phone
It's defective
It's malicious
I'd rather not say
Update is KOO
I know this update isnt what alot of ppl were expecting "Cupcake" but it has its improvements..
they actually fixed the voice dialer.. now u say the name and it actually brings up the correct one.. and the voice search is really accurate.. i mean REALLY accurate

OCD: Anyway to clean up old apps that still show insalled on Google Play webite?

I guess from years of rooting and changing roms and such the Google Play website shows hundreds of apps installed on my device that of course aren't.
By using Google Play on my phone and going to ALL I was able to painfully manually delete many of them but after a certain point it stops loading very old apps and no longer gives me an option to remove them from the list resulting in the website showing wrong results.
I Googled a solution but found nothing anyone here have any ideas?

My apps is what the OP is referring to. The only way to delete them that I have found is one by one. One of the true PIA's of the Play Store.

I've often wondered this as well. It'd be nice if the store would only display 90 days of download recency. It'd be even better if you could sub-cat the downloads by device (if you've had multiple).

Or something as simple as an option in settings to remove apps that are unistalled from the My Apps list.

I agree.
There should be an option within the Store to sync the device you're on @ that time and show what's been installed/uninstalled from Play Store for that specific device.
Play website leaves a lot to be desired. Lets not make light of OCD. People who genuinely suffer from it have a really bad time

I don't know who that's directed to but I have ocd and don't see anyone making light of it.
Anyway I don't even mind removing apps one by one but it seems after you go back several years time (on your phone mind you under ALL) it stops loading very old apps and there is just no way to remove them at that point.

OK I apologise then. I thought YOU were making light of OCD. You know, the whole "If I don't do xxx then I will die" kind of OCD (of which I am sure you know, there is no other). I'm sorry to hear you have that. My suggestion would be not to visit the play website. It's definitely preferable to feeling you will die because it is untidy.
Although the way you phrased this thread, it reads more like "I like things tidy" than actually having OCD, so again I apologise
No problem. It's not like this is keeping me up at night but it is something that has been on my min d to fix for sometime.

Still getting popup adds, no aps open

The latest wrinkle in this ongoing problem is ads with soundtracks! They just start going off when I'm on my phone, and if I'm in public they can be really annoying to those around me! I've read the only thread on the subject posted last year where someone suggested an ap call configAPK be found and removed. I did that but I'm stilling ads. Someone suggested hit the Recent key on the navigator in order to find the source of the ad, like what app put it out, but I didn't understand the instruction. Some members even blamed Samsung for doing the, but how would their doing this not simply drive everyone to consider an Apple phone?

It's odd that this is going on. Apps are hijacking our phones and getting away with it! Actually, I'm surprised advertisers are doing this. Do they really think people will read their ads, or just get get pissed and boycott!? Half the time I don't even know who the advertiser is because my kneejerk response is instants "delete"!

Just in reference to the recent apps method you mentioned it's just another way to get into app settings through settings - apps.

I'm still working on the process in the link.
Today I hit the Recent button after a video ad and found BeiTaPlug. I planed to Google it but saw your response and had to check it. Later I saw Smart Scan there, which I know i suspicious, by virtue of having a Scan prefix. I can find the latter but not the former. It appears to be a plug in but where would I find plugins?

Question Google Messages notifications icon

So I just purchased a pro and coming from a 6a. I noticed when I switch to the 7 pro the notification icon was different. It was updated to look like the new app icon. I had to reset my phone and when I reset the notification icon went back to it's regular thing lol how can I get it back? Does anybody know what I'm talking about or do I just sound crazy lol please help. 🥹
current icon on the left
i want the notification icon on the right lol
Currently, you just sound crazy haha. But the notification icon should always appear to match the new app icon. If yours isn't after a drive reset, just give it time and it should correct itself automatically (maybe after a day or two).

Ehh, just give it some time. Whenever I do a full wipe before flashing a new update to my phone, certain features just aren't available for an unknown amount of days. For example, some of the Google Phone features don't show up for a week or two. And once they do show up, they only seem to roll in one feature at a time lol.
This delayed feature rollout after a wipe and fresh OS installation seems to be the current Google Mystery lol

No problem. If it never changes over in another week, feel free to reply to one of my comments and I can help ya out. You MIGHT need to do another wipe and OS reinstallation (which I can also help you with, if necessary) if the notification icon just refuses to change after more time passes.
We'll see what happens =D

10 minutes? In what universe? You cannot be serious! A few years ago it would take several hours for a factory reset/new setup! I'm assuming you mean "factory reset" when you say complete wipe???
Today I can do everything in maybe...MAYBE 2 or 3 hours but 10 minutes??? No way! You gotta be joking.

APK version shouldn't matter. I have the exact same build as you and don't have the issue that you are facing.
For what I use my phone for (basic phone functions, internet, YouTube) I don't think it's worth the risk of pushing something through unofficially - as a user uploaded APK could
always be slightly modified in some way.
*Edit* - And you also have the latest build of the app, haha. We're on the beta build - which may have been confusing my man Stano.
*Edit 2.0* - @jaseman I mean flashing the entire OS from the most up-to-date factory image via fastboot - which does indeed wipe the user partition of the drive unless you choose to modify the default flash-all document or choose to do it all manually without wiping that drive partition. But regardless of which method you choose, it still only takes me around 10 minutes to do all of that, restore my data and to grant myself root access again.
