[Q] Why doesn't "OK Google" work in (Chrome, Dialer, Maps, Gmail, Youtube, Amazon)
Why doesn't "OK Google" work in (Chrome, Dailer, Maps, Gmail, Youtube, Amazon, Hangouts)?
Any time there's a URL bar, search button, and especially visible "mic" symbol (Like in Dialer, Maps), "OK Google" aught to cause it to start listening in the (search bar, URL bar) and support relevant commands (Call Jamie Mobile). Mostly I want it for Maps, Dailer, Chrome. "Anandtech.com" "xda nexus 5 general" etc.

[Q] Google Maps

I can't find Google Maps on my TF300. There is no icon on the desktop and none in the installed apps screen.
However, when I go to the Google Store, it allows me to update the app, then allows me to open the app. It runs fine. After I close it, the app disappears and I can't find the icon.
Somebody clue me in... Please !!!
Have you looked for just "Maps"? That's google maps. On mine there was an icon on the desktop when I got it.

There is no icon named Maps, Google Maps, or anything similar. Since I did not delete any apps, it has me wondering about 'hidden' apps.
Did you download the Maps app?
I have maps on mine, starting from stock.
On the home screen, swipe one screen to the right. It's in a folder called "Google Services".
Make sure in your app drawer you are under the apps tab. Not sure if it exists on the stock launcher, but on apex i have a downloaded tab and it doesn't show any preinstalled apps under that tab.

My 'Google Services' has 4 apps: Search, Messenger, Google+, Play Store, Gmail, and Talk. My Settings screen shows that Maps is a Downloaded App.
Still no sign of an icon - and no easy to start maps. Am I the only one with this setup?
Strange, I've got 10 apps under my google services. Search, Messenger, Google+, Play Store, Maps, Places, Latitude, Navigation , Gmail and talk. And I haven't messed with that icon. Are you too far in to do a factory reset?

I'm sorry that you can't see my screens . I still have only 4 items under Google Services. BUT, suddenly Maps appeared in the App Drawer. I have not used the tablet all afternoon - so, no changes by me.
It is disturbing that we have such different configurations - right from the factory.
Go to market and download.....resolved.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Go to market, it says installed right? Uninstall and reinstall from there.

Google Search App alternatives for Voice Typing?

Are not there alternatives to Google Search App for Voice Typing in Gboard, Chrome, Keep etc…?

Just joined Google Fi. Is there any way to add "messages" to the google apps button?

Just joined Google Fi. Is there any way to add "messages" to the google apps button?
Title says it all. I just left Google Voice for Google Fi and ported my GV number over.
Minor thing, but I miss having the function in gmail when I click on the google apps, then google voice, then it launches to web interface. I can't seem to find a similar setup for the messages for web app. Does this exist?
I realize I'm just lazy, but would be nice to have!
