How do I add places to Google Now? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I am a long time Android user and relatively familiar with Jellybean but I have no idea how to add places to Google now. I have my home and work programmed in but it did that for me. I currently live at school so I would like it to use that 9 time out of ten but I don't want to use that as home because I guess I'm just sentimental. Does anyone know if/how it is possible to add more locations?

I believe you can check in on latitude, that should do it.

Exchange Question

So far, the other 2 Android phones I have had did NOT support this, and it really sucked, and I am hoping that this Inc2 is different, but so far I don't think so.
When I have exchange setup on my phone, and get a notification about a new email, but then read the email in Outlook, the notification never goes away. So far, I have found NO way for this to get fixed other than to use Touchdown (which I will not be doing). How can this really be something Google cannot code into Android? Has anyone figured out ANY way to get this to work like the Gmail notifications?

[Q] Facebook Toubles...

Is anyone else having issues with the Facebook app? It extends to every Facebook related application including Friendcaster as well as sharing to Facebook from Instagram.
The issue is one of the inability to access any Facebook information while using my data connection. If I switch to wifi it works flawlessly.
Any Ideas?
Yep having the same problem...glad to see its not just me

I'm running AOKP build 40. Aerovans 10.5 kernel. Confirmed not working on the FB app and BARELY working on mobile web.

Also, I've noticed that if I don't kill the FB app it ends up sucking up 75MB of RAM and hogs the CPU

I'm running Aeroevan's cm9 with the v10 kernal. It happens with sense roms as well... I have got seesmic to work properly over 3g but i had to turn on wifi to get it to connect to Facebook initially.

Same here. CM9 aero v10.
Using Stream, it's very slow if it does work at all.
Seems to work ok through wifi though.
I thought it was just me also. lol
I would love to see one of our devs jump on this and fix the damn app in minutes lol

Glad it's not just me having issues, I've tried every rom I got to get the fb app to load, if I'm on 3g ill get a few kb of data to transfer, then nothing I gave up and am using friendcaster, it's running as of now

I'm having the same issue on both my DINC2 and my Nook Color. Not having the issue on my Original DINC. The Facebook app will login and I can upload photos/comment on photos/comment on statuses, but I can't update my own status or post on someone's wall. It says "Unfortunately, Facebook has stopped" anytime I try to update my status. Very frustrating.
I can't login to Spotify, Foursquare, Instagram, or any other app that is linked to my account. I can't even login on Friendcaster. It just sticks in a login loop. On my Nook I'm able to login to Draw Something but that's it. (I know this is the DINC2 forum, I just wanted to throw that in there...)
I don't know how to tell the kernel version. Here is my phone info.

It has to be the Facebook mobile site servers because if you request desktop site it's fast. Facebook app has even gone to **** on my iPod touch

It's not a matter of being slow, though. Unless I am on wifi I cannot access it at all... also, apps that require permissions from Facebook (ie. Instagram, foursquare etc) won't be able to access Facebook to get the proper permissions unless I am on wifi.

OK so I'm guessing its either the ****ty FB servers or our custom roms.....I'm thinking its the FB servers
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Its not the ROM's - definitely a Facebook issue.
I am pretty sure they are trying to figure out a way to serve mobile ads thru the server similar to the desktop. It cant be a server issue, its Facebook - lol.
They can more than afford and service high quality servers.
I dont use the app on my phone (or my tablet) anymore cause it took up a lot of space even while 'dormant'. I found three processes running at one time.

Oddly, I found a Rom that the Facebook app works on. Andybones stock Rom works flawlessly.

I disabled the ad blocker app I had installed and fb app works like a charm again

Possible solution. Go to your security settings in facebook on a computer, Remove all of your recognized devices, clear data on the facebook app. Log back in. FB on 3g is working for me right now. We'll see.

I quit using the official fb app awhile ago, but recently I installed it again and I changed the permission to user r/w, and executable in rom toolbox and It's been about 6hrs now and it seems like it's running fine, probably got figured out on fb side and what I did probably meant nothing but figure I'd share anyway

Texting

Is there a way to receive texts and respond to them on my N7 without using a new number? I think there may be some way to do it with Google Voice, but I'm not entirely sure. Help would be greatly appreciated, I don't like this new number thing.
Why don't you try tablet talk it pairs right up with your cell phone via Bluetooth or wifi. The best part is that you don't have to get a new number either.

Google Voice works fine (as long as you have a GV number).
I'll check out tablet talk.
I could use Google Voice, but I don't want to have to give my Google Voice number out to everyone instead of the number everyone already has.
Thanks guys, I'll post back once I've tried this stuff.
EDIT: Tablet talk is great. Everyone that wants to text/call from their tablet should get this (granted that they don't use GV already).
Is there any free app that does what Tablet Talk does?

Try mighty text. I've been using it on my phone with my laptop. It's free, and you don't have to connect to WiFi or bluetooth

theres also DeskSMS from Koush that sends your texts to Google Talk. Doesnt use the extra battery that bluetooth would use

I probably will but I'm trying to save as much as I can for stuff that I can't otherwise get for free.
Tablet talk is amazing
SyncSMS has been my choice for the last year or so, but i'm trying DeskSMS out.
You can also use the Facebook messenger app or Google+ messenger. Works just like texting.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
DeskSMS is good, but don't like having an extra app open to look at my SMS...works well on my laptops, easy to use etc
MySMS was hit or miss, UI is laggy and sometimes SMS wouldn't sync right away.
SyncSMS worked well when I tried the beta, but I didn't get around to purchasing the full version since I didn't use it a lot.
Going to check out TabletTalk later today, since I have been using my I/O N7 a lot lately

You simply cannot go wrong with Tablet Talk, it is the go-to app for everyone looking for that "text/talk from tablet" functionality.
going with tablet talk myself. its been amazing so far!

Does JB replace S Voice with Google Now when you upgrade???

Asking all the people who are running the early builds or anyone who scored an official?
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using xda premium
No. It doesn't replace it. You get Google Now still. And the voice for S Voice changes. More humanly. But still not as real sounding as Google Now. I re mapped my home button to launch Google Now because S Voice has always been incredibly slow and not that great IMO

All you have to do is hold the menu soft key to launch Google Now.

Yeah. But I wanted the feel of S Voice (one of the only good things about it), with the brain of Google Now, you know?
I wonder why Samsung is still trying to push S Voice so hard when Google's own software is vastly better the S Voice. I kinda would have preferred if it was taken out completely.

Not hard, considering Siri is a dumb broad..
I can't think of a single possible reason one would choose S Voice over Google Now. It's just terrible. Sure, being able to control the phone with your voice is a neat feature. But it's useless. I can launch any app on my phone faster than you can get S Voice to do it. Cool + impractical = useless.
I suggest keeping both S Voice and Google Now. On Jelly Bean, you'll be getting Google Now which is an addition for voice prompts. S Voice is mostly used to control the phone and launching commands whereas Google Now is great for searching.
S Voice = Commands, Launches (EX. Text John Smith Where are you?)
Google Now = Searches (EX. What is tomorrow's weather in Los Angeles?)
Both have their PROS and CONS.

Probably not, but just asking

I wanna add my email account to the Android market app to my little brothers phone, he has a galaxy note 2 aswell, so he can use the apps i use, is there a way possible of doing this without him getting all my emails and contacts?
Is there a way i can transfer all my google purchases to another email account?

It can be done, I shared some of my apps with my mom. I don't think it's right or fair to share paid apps because it's stealing and dishonest. Only you paid to use the app. XDA is not the place to ask how to cheat developers or steal from them and to do so will likely result in getting yourself banned.
It's actually easier to use S Beam to share apps between devices that have this feature. A lot of my co workers have SGIII and one has Note2 and we use S Beam to share photos, videos, and apps all the time.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Not looking to cheat out devs, if that was the case, id just side load the apps, can easily find em online and skip the license checking aswell. My little brother is in 8th grade, not really working or anything. And i buy apps that he uses alone aswell.
And the reason to switch the purchases to another account was so i can keep my personal emails contacts and calendars separate from google app side of things.
Thanks for the input thou

Just add your account to play store on his phone, just don't sync anything else. I did it on my mom's note2.
