Google mobile updater

Hi,
I'm trying to find where I can download the Google updater for mobile to keep my mobile Google apps current, but i'm having no luck. I've gone to mobile.google.com and downloaded 'Google Mobile App', but I can't seem to get the updater. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. In my case, the problem is Google Mobile/Symbian web browser-specific. The phone in general can access WLAN connections without any problems. I have tried all possible adjustments to both Google Mobile and Symbian web browser I can think of. I'm pretty sure the problem lies at the Google-server end of things: something about the way the search result links are formatted provides insufficient data to the Symbian web browser. It's strange that going through the cached page version to the current version works (as described above). Nokia s60 users experienced a similar (but not identical) problem in May of 2011, but someone at Google noticed the situation described on the Google Mobile Forum, and had the problem corrected. No such luck this time, I'm afraid. It may be that the s60v2 is getting to be too old for Google to bother with. It's a shame, but at least using Vlingo (or the runaround with the cached pages) there is a workaround.

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.

1.1.3 Google Mobile icon for home screen

It seems Google was ahead of the curve on this one. If you add Google Mobile to your home screen it gives you a nice crisp little Google icon. With any other site you just get a section of the page as your icon (zooming in on a logo helps). As soon as I noticed this I decided to add Apple to my home screen. Guess what, no custom icon. What gives? You'd think Apple would be the first kid on the block with a custom icon.

As for why Apple didn't (just my guess). Apple made the web clip icon show what you zoomed in on for that page. Now when they explained web clips, the mentioned a person may want a icon for the Style section of a newspaper site. Now if I created a web clip and zoomed in on the Style title, I would get a nice icon with "Style" showing. Then lets say I wanted a icon for the Sports page. I repeat but zoom in on Sports. Now I have two icons (same site) but icons look different based on my needs and what I want to see. So in short, gives the user control. Now for sites that are going to override the icon, they can if they wish but that will take away from the users customization of thier phone but will give good branding of the site.
So each has it's place. For Apple, since they made it to allow customization for the user it makes more sense (IMHO) for them to leave it up to the user rather than force an icon on them.

Google mobile search result links lead to downloading db file

Firefox mobile on Galaxy Sii running rooted stock 2.3.5
Google search takes me to google mobile results. Clicking on any result usually causes a popup "Complete action using DB Text Editor", and downloading of a file.
If I change google settings to the classic view, instead of mobile, links function correctly.

Google mobile problem with 3G S

When I use the Google mobile app with the 3G S, it doesn't always activate the voice search when I put it up to my face. I don't recall having that problem with my original iPhone. Anyone else having this problem?

I find it has to be a definite move to your ear. Move too smoothly and it won't trigger the voice search.
Also, check the Google app settings (the button at the bottom right). "Screen Rotation" is supposed to be set to OFF. "Turning on Screen Rotation disables motion sensing for voice search."

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.

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?
Solved!

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.

[Flex Hero] How to put Google Mobile Ads in AIR on Android

Hi, everyone
I am developing a free application with Adobe Flash Builder "Burrito". Thank you to Flex SDK team, the SDK is very easy to implement the application.
My question is, Is it possible to put Google Mobile Ads in the application (for example, Ad Mob)? If yes, could you give me some guideline?
I think this is the key feature to make AIR for Android more popular. People make money from it!

I filed a feature request to expose this functionality in Flex: http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-28875 Please vote and leave a comment with your use case.
In the meantime you might want to look into exposing unavailable APIs like in this post: http://elromdesign.com/blog/2010/10/29/hacking-native-android-with-air-app-to-allow-air-ac cess-unavailable-apis/

Mavericks and google software update

hi folks, i installed mavericks a week back and while working with picasa yesterday a dialog box popped out requiring my permission to "allow google software update to control this computer" .. it even said ill find it in the system preferences>> security & privacy>> accessibility. Oh Yes , it was there ! Now i would like to know how could i make changes in the updater preferences .. i ve even downloaded and installed the google software updater but no icon in the applications. where does it get installed in mackintosh ? how can i access it..? i read it in google help, it says the google software updater icon will be in the finder>>applications ,but it is not there.. help needed !

Google Help is referring to an older piece of software which they have retired. My Mac has just informed me today about Google Software Update so I've been looking around the web for more information about it
Google Updater for Mac has been retired because Google software, such as Desktop and Notifier, no longer require its use. If you had it installed, we did some housecleaning and automatically removed the program for you, using GoogleUpdaterGhostInstaller.pkg, in order to free up processing power on your computer.

How do I turn of Google mobile?

How do I turn off Google mobile. I want the HTML version of igoogle.

I'm another who really wants to see my personal iGoogle page in the non mobile version on my phone. I've looked a few times on googles site for a feedback email address or phone number but I can't find it. I didn't buy the iPhone to get mobile pages, I bought it to get the full internet (as the ad says).
Is there any way to fire up safari on the iphone in debug mode like you can on a Mac so you can edit the browser string? Then you could just let google think you're on a full blown Mac instead of an iPhone and get the real page you want.

Google Mobile vs Google classic on iPhone

I have been happily using Google 'Classic' on my iPhone frome the start (as opposed to the more simplified Google 'Mobile' option I'm presented with). But now each time I go to Google.com on my iPhone it automatically defaults to the 'Mobile' version and will not even allow me to even select 'Classic'. Has anyone else noticed this? I suppose this is no big deal in the great scheme of things but what gives? Any ideas?

Yes, I noticed this today. A little frustrating...

Kernel crashes and freezes, "google software update" errors

I've been struggling to resolve a serious issue with my ibook G4 1.42 ghz, running 10.4.11, for many months now. It began to have frequent kernel panics, and my first assumption was that it was hard drive related, so in November I replaced the hard drive. I seemed to have fewer panics? but ket getting them, and then in late January decided it must be a logic board issue (I'm not on my 3rd logic board with this laptop), and I replaced the logic board. It started up fine, passes the hardware test without trouble, but still has kernel panics and now also occasionally just freezes and has to be force-restarted.
I tried an archive and install of the OS, but realized after I ran the first disc that the 2nd was missing and that I had accidentally put in my 2nd disc from my G5. It is running, but with the same freezing and kernel panics. I get constant error messages about "google software updater" having quit unexpectedly (also microsoft office updater, but I just trashed those files and it stopped)-- if this related to google software updater? Is that the software updater included in the OS? Am I right in assuming that this is a software problem, and if so do I need to buy new Tiger discs and do a clean install, or is it likely that something else is causing the problem? (Since a clean install means reinstalling all my software, and I don't have the keys for some of it after all these years, I want that as a last resort).
Any ideas on this?

One of the known causes of kernel panic in portable iBook G4 computers, is related
to the AirPort card; when it, or a connector to it goes bad. When that's the case, the
user can try and see if turning OFF the AirPort in software resolves the issue; or go
into the computer and unplug the AirPort card (or remove it.) I've seen a few online
images of the removal/replacement of the internal located AirPort card; in those G4
iBooks without one under the keyboard, it is much more difficult to access/replace.
And the issue may not be in the card, but on the connector to the logic board.
Other causes of kernel panic may be related to a RAM upgrade chip added to the
computer (the basic RAM is soldered on the logic board, so it can't be removed)
so, when that is a cause of kernel panic; and removing the upgrade RAM resolves
the issue, a different RAM chip of correct specs can be tried to see if that helps.
The 'google software updater' caused a crash in one of my G4 Macs, or maybe two.
I removed it. The specific updater appears to be for use with Google Earth. I have
not reinstalled G.E. since the apparent related crash in one of my Macs. I reinstalled
it in my iBook G4; but don't use it much. The 'google software updater' was added
again in the computer on a new installation of Google Earth.
With an older iBook or other portable computer, it is wise to replace the original
hard disk drive when it gets old and has significant run-time on it; but the panic
and kernel notice may have had no root cause in the computer's hard disk drive.
Perhaps someone else, seeing this, may have other experience and ideas on
how to handle the matter; or a better troubleshooting path, since I have none.
Good luck & happy computing!
