Google now - get rid of daily work alert - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Guys
Is there a way to delete the work location? It seems I need to put something in there and don't have a daily work location. I don't mind when Google now sees an appointment in my calendar for a particular location but when my calendar is empty, I rather not have the alert
Thanks

Have you tried looking at the Google Now settings?

yup every tab in there. I can change the work location address but not delete it

You can also disable the notification.

Go to Google maps on a browser you are logged in with your Google account on. Click my places and edit / delete your work location. Don't know if it works but worth a shot.
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus

Went to google maps and it did show under places and I deleted it. However, it still shows up under google now on my phone.Tried rebooting but didn't help

Why are you trying to remove the saved location? Did you try the setting to just disable the notification?

If I disable the notification, it'll disable everything from Home and I don't want that. I want it to give me notifications when something is in my calendar but don't want a default notification to work because I don't go to my work location every day

I have settings specifically for "Before commute from home" and "Before commute to home". I'm pretty sure those are only for work and have nothing to do with travel time to other meetings in your calendar.

GPS Issue

Does anyone have a solution to fixing a broken GPS? It just keeps searching for a location but doesn't pick up anything
Very frustrating because that's what I mainly use my phone for. It just started doing this after I upgraded to 4.2 yesterday. I dropped my phone yesterday also so I don't know which one is the cause for my GPS issue. Thnx
Try one of the gps toolbox apps to calibrate and fix the agps data. Or try FasterGPS, which I think needs busybox, to set your location.

I had this same problem with connecting to google play. Here are the steps, goto apps, scroll tap 'ALL' apps, then:
Delete data on Google Services Framework
Delete data on Google Play Store
Sync your contacts
Delete your google account completely
then add your google account back in and sync your contacts
this will get you to back connected into google play store.
For GPS, go back into ACCOUNTS and click on google.
this is what I did, not sure the effects, but navigation now works:
Location -->turn ON (let google apps access your location)
Off course all my location settings was already turned on, but here's somewhere/something else that needs done.
I hope this helps...

Google Voice

Is anyone else having problems deleting voicemails in Google Voice? I delete them, but they show up again in my inbox a few minutes later. I've even gone as far as deleting them from the trash on the desktop version of voice, yet they still won't go away. Any idea what's going on?
Same thing is happening on my brother's Nexus 4. Once deleted, they reappear a few minutes later. When you try to delete them again, the "delete" option is replaced with "undelete", creating a never-ending loop of reappearing messages.
That happens now on every device I have the Google Voice APK installed on. While one is on, the others are powered off. I clear out the V/M and texts on the one device, turn on the other device days later and it still pulls down all the texts/voicemails I've already deleted. The only way to get rid of them is by clearing data on the APP
AFAIK the only way to delete Google Voice items is to go into the Google Voice website (not via an app) via a web browser and delete them there.

Weather widget not working, not syncing locations with phone

I just got my new Galaxy Watch and it works great except for the weather. It keep saying "add location", it opens a location list on my phone and I added a few.
However my watch still believes there is no location, and I have no weather, neither on the widget not on the watch face... Is there any way to force the watch to synchronize the locations?
Try to remove any added locations and run only the current one. I don't know if this is the solution, but now it works for me, as i had the same problem (more or less)

Guide to activating google app's features in countries where it's unavailable.

This is an easy guide to making all of the normal features of google feed, assistant and stuff work properly on any android 7+ phone (haven't tested below 7) in any country that doesn't allow these features.
this is not for everyone, read this in full before starting so that you know what you are getting into.
so far, there has been no danger to my phone's software doing these stuff.
however im not responsible if you do something wrong. follow the steps properly.
DO NOT DELETE GOOGLE FRAMEWORK DATA ON ANDROID 9. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM
1. first of all download a VPN app from the play store, I personally used the CM VPN but use whatever you want. only important thing is that your vpn must have USA connection.
2. update your google app to the latest version, or even go all the way to the latest beta (I prefer the normal because feed looks nicer)
3. turn on the VPN and go to your location settings, and select GPS Only mode.
4. go to your apps in the settings, press "show system apps" and go to the G letter and find Google Services Framework.
delete all of the cache and data for that app. then find the google app. do the same but it happens in a different window, you gotta press manage data and then delete it from inside the google app.
5. open the google app, wait a few seconds and the google feed shows up. weather is missing and most of the features dont work yet, we will get back to them.
6. disconnect and close the vpn. then restart your device.
7. start by activating the assistant. first i suggest that you pause voice activity in google account settings.then activate the voice assistant step by step to the finish.
8. go to the google app, the 3 lines to the right( settings and stuff) go to assistant settings, in the 2nd tab find "phone" and activate voice unlock (this is just to test if the assistant is working properly) if the voice unlock gets activated properly then you're good, if it doesnt, try deactivating voice and audio activity and try again.
you can disable voice unlock after.
9. so now the assistant is activated, google feed is working, you also need to install a launcher that supports google feed page(i am using lawnchair 2 which is in alpha currently, you can use Nova, Rootless Pixel, or CPL or any other that supports it)
10. in order to get google at a glance on screen if your launcher doesn't have it, there is a widget in your widgets screen, from google themselves.
11. in order to activate the weather, go to location settings, select high accuracy, turn on google location history, and then go to the google feed page in your home screen, on the search bar type "weather" and search for it, open the weather page (the google weather app thingy) and close it. refresh the page and its up and running as the top card.
common problem: disappears after a while
do the search bar thing again and it works.
12. the last thing is reminders. type "reminder" in the search bar of the google feed page, make a reminder, then close the whole thing. open assistant, say show me my reminders, it will tell you the reminder you just set up. delete it using voice commands. then make another reminder using voice commands, go to the google app, open the 3 lines page (bottom right) then open reminders. if you have done everything properly, the reminder you set up in search is gone, and the voice reminder is there. if you don't need it, delete the reminder.
Thats all. I'm living in iran so i know all of this works 100%
Good Luck. ill be answering questions if there is any, whenever i check this again.

Personal search results no longer show contacts. Please help

So I just noticed that I could not search for contacts through the main google search bar. It was weird since this is how I always do it. So I thought that maybe the contacts option was turned off. I went to Google settings/general/personal results and the weird thing is that it doesn't have all the standard search option to choose like contacts, music, websites, etc. It only shows one thing for apps. The only thing that I did was enable developer options. Does anyone know how to get these things back? It's annoying as hell not being able to search and having to use individual apps to do so.
Well, I figured it out. Had to uninstall Google assistant and updates to get it back
yeah, them removing it is frustrating.. i did find a thread a while back that it now shows a contact page, but thats if you type in the full name pretty much.
