Hi guys, I recently got a second Nexus 5 (RMA) and I've set it up and enabled Google Now.
Google Now works properly except when I say or type into it: 'Navigate home'. When I do so it takes me to an address in London but, I have my home address set to a location in Australia.
I've tried setting my home address in the Google Now settings and in the Google Map settings to a new location and changing it back, but it still takes me to the same London location. I've even cleared the data and cache of Google Search and re-enabled Google Now, it still takes me to London.
The previous Nexus 5 and all other Android phones I have had with Google Now have taken me home successfully.
Has anyone encountered this before or know of a solution? Its rather annoying.... I don't want to do a factory reset if at all possible.
How about if you say, "Navigate me home"?
Thanks for the suggestion but I just tried it and it still shows the London location.
I just got a Navigate Home card show up which is showing the correct location. For some reason when I tell it to navigate home it thinks I live in London!
/Edit
It has magically fixed itself.

I used to get travel time to home whenever out of the house on Google Now and I really liked that card! It has been gone from my devices for a few months now though dating back to before I had an N5 even. How in the world can I get it to come back though? No, I've never swiped that card away when it was there and no, it doesn't show up if I click "more" either. My address hasn't changed and I can verify that it is still entered in Now. Just doesn't come up in my phone or tablet anymore at all. So can anyone help me with this? Tried searching the net and found nothing useful whatsoever.
Have you tried using Google Maps? Actually, navigation. Type in your home address and have it give you directions. Afterwards, it should show up in Google Now. If not, try doing it a few times, or when you're out and about navigate back home. I'm not positive about this, but that's usually how I get the addresses showing up in Google Now. Good luck.
NEXUS 5
Go to Now settings, disable Google Now. Then enable again and your cards should reappear.

[Q]Google Nexus 5 "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"
Hello,
I had an issue where I was unable to access the internet or Google Play Store so I called my provider to verify that I still had the data turned on. Eventually, we came to the part where they wanted me to sync the phone before resetting the phone to factory settings. Every time I hit SYNC NOW, I got the following error message: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Almost everything has synced however I did notice that Google Play Newsstand will not sync past 08/01/14, Google + is synced to current time however both Google Play Newsstand and Google + both have a white circle with two arrows inside (I believe it is the refresh icon) next to them.
My provider asked me to call back after the system syncs but I cannot get that far. I downloaded the “Contacts Sync Fix” app (I read that it sometimes help) and that did not help. I also noticed that I rarely have more than 2 – 3 bars of signal anywhere I go and at my home, I generally get 1 – 2 bars (but other phones on the same network have 2 – 4 bars). Any suggestions?
UPDATE: I still cannot login to Google Chrome but I can get onto Google (not chrome), get into the play store and use navigation now. My sync still is not complete.
Hi, I have One plus 3 with android 8.0.0
I went on holiday (10 hour zone difference)and deactivated all app connections (settings-data use-menu-data use control) except whatsapp and chrome and facebook, which only connected to the wifi in hotel.
I came back and activated all connections of apps (wifi and 4g).
All apps seem to work fine except for maps that finds the street I´m looking for, but just keeps on calculating best route.
Gmail opens emails, but doesn´t download or open the pdf or any file attached and google play store opens my apps ans similar ones on screen, but can´t seem to download any new ones to install and doesn´t search for any app I type in the search bar.
I´ve deleted all cache in recovery mode, and also tried changing the time to manual and to automatic rebooting in between (I read this somewhere), but it´s still the same.
I´ve also reset all app settings in app menu.
No idea what to do next.
Also, not sure if the trip had anything to do with this issue
Hopefully somebody can help me as I don´t really want to reset my phone.
Thanks
I'm at a loss here. I have asked Google for their help and they were useless. I have been using a Samsung Galaxy S8+ (AT&T). It has a feature called SMART LOCK that uses a Trusted Place, which has worked in the past without any issues. For those that don't know or use it, it allows you to keep your device unlocked while your at a trusted place. With that being said, My home address keeps deleting from Google Assistant > Settings> Personal Info> Home & Work Locations. My work location stays here, but my Home Location keeps getting deleted for some reason. I can't figure out what is causing it.
I've deleted it and edited it many times and yet it still happens.I thought it was an app or allowed program, but I went through them and didn't see anything that shouldn't be allowed in my Google account. I have deleted my cache, data and uninstalled updates on all, Google Play Store, Google Assistant as well as a few others. Yet my Home Location keeps on disappearing for no apparent reason. I wouldn't care so much, but I use the Smart Lock feature while home.
I have used Tasker from the play store and set up commands and this didn't even work to unlock phone while at home.
I have wiped my phone many times and it still happens. Does anyone else have this issue or at least know a fix or is this a bug?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Sounds very frustrating. I have not heard of the issue before.
I'm wondering if you have also cleared out your Gmail address/contact info and Google calendar profile, as well?
What happens when/if you create a new alias profile? Will the alias address remain?
I would have to get back to you on that. I haven't tried creating another profile (alias). I can create another Google account and see what happens. I was also wondering if it was a fb so that could be doing it, but I have the same apps on my tablet (running marshmallow) and it doesn't get deleted from there.
Is doing it on my phone and my wife's.
Hi
recently picked up my GW5 (Bluetooth) after my GW2 died on me, Everything setup fine other than i appear to be unable to add a weather location?
Never had this issue before on my previous watch.
To confirm location service is enabled, and Weather has location set to Always Allow.
I have tried to open the Weather app within the Samsung Wearable app, selecting apps, going to weather and pressing App Settings. However the app crashes and returns to the previous screen.
All apps are updated, i have reset my watch a couple of times and still does the same, the only thing i have not done is reset / factory restore my phone, Something i really do not want to do.
Anyone else had such an issue?
Google Maps works fine on the watch, so its not go an issue with knowing my location / gps
Okay i feel abit of a numpty here, After countless methods it only just occured to me i debloated / disabled unused packages on my samsung phone.
Yes Weather was on of thoes APK's i disabled.
Anyone with a simlar issue, will need to ensure they have the Samsung Weather App installed on there Device and Enabled.
