[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

Just go to Google Now -> Settings -> Voice -> Language -> English (US)

Google now zombie notification

Google now keep this playing a notification about package that was delivered last year. The fedex website says it was delivered. I know it's not my device because this s persistent across upgrades and software resets, it's in the cloud.

I did that, about last December. Still keeps showing up, and now I get an error if I click show email.
I just don't want this thing to stay around for the next 10 years haha. I can imagine when we all have permanent contact lenses google glasses thing the thing waking me up every night to let me know my plasti dip is being delivered 10 years ago.

I was hoping this thread was about a google now easter egg...

Look at your Google Wallet. I've noticed that sometimes the packages are located in the tracking of Google Wallet.

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?"

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.

Video frame freezing

I was taking some video at a music gig I ran sound for last night and was having problems where the frame would freeze for like a second or two then catch up. Does this on the playback also does the same thing. My pixel 2xl didn't do this at all. Phone was keep stationary so wasn't like it couldn't keep up with motion or anything. Anyone else having this problem?

I just ran a test, recorded a 4 min video with no freezes. Curious if you had lots of apps loaded in memory, or if it was especially warm in that room. I checked and only had a couple of apps loaded. Just two things I thought of. Still would be very interested in what support says. I do sometimes take fairly long videos of music performances. Never had that issue on my previous phone either.

I would start no but also never had problems with my pixel 2xl a oneplus 6 or any other phones I've had in the past. I could do a factory reset and see if that's fixes it. I highly doubtful it will do anything

Called Google support and talked to a pixel 3 support guy. After trying a bunch stuff including clearing cache and app data. We were able to replicate the problem over the phone. He had my revert the stock camera app back to the original version when the phone was released and appears to be working fine. I will report back once I'm able to take more videos.

How did you revert back to a previous version of the camera app? Isn't the current Sep 5th update the same one the phone was released with?

Go to the settings page and find the camera app and click clear cache and data then click the disable button, this should uninstall and updates then if it doesn't take you the playstore then go too the playstore and find the Google camera app and go to the top right hand corner and click the drop down thing and uncheck the auto update function.
