Google Mobile App & GPS work together randomly

I'm surprised we don't have a specific area for application questions, unless I missed it somewhere, however :
I'm currently back to driving a cab in the metropolitan suburbs of New York City, and often find I'm needing to know "where is the nearest "UPS" or "Dunkin Donuts" or such.
At first the Google Mobile seem to give me results knowing darn well where I was, but now I'm back to using store locaters on individual sites . . and I usually don't know what zip-code I'm in !
Did I turn something off in Settings awhile back when dealing with greater battery drain perhaps ?
GPS working in tandem w/ Google Mobile seems to have become rather random !

Please forgive a discreet bump, I can't imagine how this went to page 5 in only 2 hours !
Well.. I can imagine, I'm just astonished.

  • Problems with Google Mobile App in 3.0

    My Google mobile app is not working correctly in 3.0... it won't register motion sensing for voice search (and yes, motion sensing is turned on in the settings menu and the accelerometer works fine in other apps). I have tried removing and re-installing the app several times, to no avail. Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone have any ideas as to a solution?

    I've noticed the same issue since the update to 3.0. Generally Google will not react at all with the tones/chimes to let me know that it's 'paying attention', at least for several attempts of raising it to my ear (though the screen will darken as if on a phone call so accelerometer is doing its part). Then (sometimes) it will inexplicably begin to behave properly for search after search. I've found only two mentions of this issue in the discussions (surprised there aren't more considering it must be related directly to the update), neither with a solution, but at least I know it's not my imagination.

  • Google Mobile App broken

    Since 5/2/11, the Google Moble app returns results in which the page links are not active, i.e. they will not open.  Normally they either open from with the Google Mobile app, or open within the s60 browser (shown as "Web" in the applications folder).  This is clearly an external problem at Google, since nothing has changed on our phones (to our knowkedge, anyway).  How can we contact Google?

    Try posting your issue on the google mobile forum:
    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile?hl=en
    With this being a google issue there's nothing we can do to help you here. If you have an old discontinued model, like the N79, your best option is to use an alternative method to search such as opera mobile/mini.

  • I can't get the Google Search App to work.

    My Google Search App was working fine on my iPad mini. Then I installed Chrome and didn't synch it right off the bat. Chrome works fine but now Google Search App won't let me log in or work. I've tried deleting it/reinstalling it and rebooting my iPad mini. What else should I try?

    Shut down and restart the app...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon until they wiggle
    - Press the red (-) to delete the offending app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.
    - Restart the app

  • Launching Google Mobile App turns music off -- any way to prevent that?

    If I launch the Google Mobile App when the Music app is playing the music is paused. Is there any way to stop that from happening?
    I have fiddled with all settings related to notifications, sounds, etc. but I still have this issue.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    thanks
    Paul D.

    Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes, voice search is turned off and I still have the issue. I have also tried turning off all notifications and sounds related to Google Mobile App but it still turns the music off when launched. It appears to be a glitch in Google Mobile App – or it may be a "feature not a bug" intended to get you to focus on your email rather than listen to music. ]
    I discovered a pretty simple workaround. If you place a Safari bookmark for your Gmail inbox or Google Talk, etc, directly on the home screen, and access your inbox by tapping the bookmark rather than the Google Mobile App icon, then the music playing is not affected.
    So the Google Mobile App icon shows me how many new messages I have, but I tap the the Gmail inbox icon to go to my inbox. That solves the problem for now.

  • About Google mobile app

    I am reading alot about the Google Mobile App that seems to be in a lot of itunes stores but is not in Sweden. Is there a way to get it anyway from maybe another store or will it come soon to Sweden as well?

    WHen you access Google from the iPhone, it automatically reads that you are on a mobile device and puts you into the Mobile Google site...
    The App they created basically is just a fancy way of getting to that same link with some cosmetic improvements.

  • Google Mobile App Issues - Localhost error

    Hi guys,
    Whenever I go into the Google Mobile App and then click on one of the google products underneath it, it opens the browser and says localhost on the address bar
    and a Cannot Open Page error.
    Any ideas why this is happening?
    Thnx in advance

    Haven't seen that but try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • Why have my App Store, iTunes, and my Google related apps stopped working properly?

    I was on my iPod and soon figured out that iTunes and Google-related apps weren't working. iTunes kept telling me I 'might be on a server pretending to be iTunes' and won't let me use it. When I open the App store, it tells me that it cannot connect to iTunes. Also, any apps I have that are Google related are on the fritz. My Google Drive won't allow me to view my documents, write new ones, or rename them. It says I'm not connected to the Internet... but I am. Google Translate, YouTube, or my Google Search app weren't working as well. Also having slight issues with Safari but they fix themselves after a moment. I'm not sure what's going on with my apps and I haven't checked other apps for issues so I'm not sure if it's all apps. This started happening after I deleted Spotify. I'm sure it has nothing to do with my app issues but it might be worth mentioning. So what's going on and have any of you had this problem before?

  • Google mobile app vs default email app.

    ok need your input, guys, google,
    recently began, offering notifications,
    through there google app. I am more
    interested, in the email notifications, that
    are offered, by this google app, in
    comparison, with the default iphone app - Set Up Your Apple Device for Google
    Sync : Google Sync - Google Mobile
    Help . In terms, of battery usage, which of the
    two, do you find better, when push email,
    is set.?

    Wow patient much? Yes been about 9hrs since you asked but the majority of those that answer are U.S. based and you asked at 2:45 in the morning here. Then as time passed your question got moved down the list.
    As for your question, I can only guess Push notifications using the app will require less battery than the email app checking on an interval.

  • Verizon fios mobile app not working on iphone, works ok on ipad

    Remote doesn't work No longer has remote feature after Lollipop update to Galaxy S5
    Mike de Gouveia February 8, 2015 
    Not compatible with Android L This was an OK app before I updated my S5 to lollipop. It was a bit glitchy with scheduling recordings and scrolling through TV listings before, but now it is just terrible and does not even allow me to use the app as a remote control and is always crashing. I'm keeping the app because I'm hopeful that they will resolve the compatibility issues because it is pretty convenient having an app running off the WiFi to control the DVR. I will submit a new review once they do.
    Robert DeNuto February 9, 2015
    "restore to factory settings and try again." I contacted FiOS support because after updating my S5 to Lollipop, the app would no longer recognize that I was connected to my FiOS router. As a result, I couldn't change the channels on my FiOS set top box or watch FiOS programs on my phone

    Please fix the Lollipop S5 issue The remote portion is the only reason to have this app, and since it had been rendered useless ever since Lollipop was pushed - I have to rate 1 star. Once fixed I will gladly update

  • Lync Mobile App not working without WIFI

    HI,
    we have Lync 2013 deployed and everything works fine. We can do Voice Calls, Video Calls etc.
    But when we switch off the WIFI and only 3G or 4G is enabled, we can call persons, but after we accept the call, it gets terminated and we can't hear each other.
    any idea?
    EDIT: We get the error "Could not establish a connection"

    Hi repa1982,
    Since A/V is now supported over 3G/4G, or Wi-Fi the Edge Server plays a larger role in mobility deployments.  In the diagram below, you can see that the mobile client will still send signaling information via the Reverse Proxy, but it will now send media
    via the A/V Edge interface on the Edge Server:

  • My NFL mobile app isnt working

    I have a G3 with premium features but nfl mobile wont let me watch games

        Dakota239,
    Oh my! I can certainly understand your frustration with this application receiving error messages. You're correct, you pay for this service so it should work properly. Let's get this resolved! Have you tried uninstalling the application, then reinstalling the application?  I would recommend clearing the cache as well... Go to settings>applications>manage applications>nfl mobile>clear cache & force stop. Exit to the main menu and reopen Nfl Mobile. Hope this helps!
