I want to know if there any way of synchronizing contacts with google maps. Is there any chance of opening google maps and see all the houses of my friends? To many contacts I added their adresses so what I want is to open the GMaps and select a destination easier.

I like all the functionality Google has to offer with their contacts management. It's nice to know my contacts are backed up on-line so that I they're not lost if I manage to lose my phone. However, I do not want contacts loaded onto my phone that I do not communicate with by cellphone (only e-mail). There's simply no point to it. I do not use a local client e-mail application--only GMail. I'd rather keep my phone contacts list succinct. But I have yet to figure out a way to do this, except by keeping a separate GMail account specifically for managing my phone contacts (I keep only those with phone numbers, and synchronize with that one). I'd rather keep it all unified in one account (both contacts and calendar).

I havnt added any contacts. Im fine with my contacts the way they are. I unchecked the "background data" box under "accounts and sync" but i need it checked to use the market so i caved and let it do it.How do i get it to stop this? If it helps, ive only noticed it in the last couple days, and the only apps ive downloaded have been tweetdeck and angry birds. Could one of those be doing it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAria is my first Android phone , I set up my gmail account and want to avoid synchronizing the gmail contacts , The reason is that there are many contacts and it clutters the people search functions.For now I deleted my gmail contacts , did a resynch.need to know
1) Is it possible to control the sync with gmail for just emails and not calendar and contacts
2) if not any way to filter the list from the people's search.
I dont know wether this is the right place to post this, but I had a great idea for a implementation of Contacts within google maps. Maybe it is already possible or someone already is developing this, but here it is: Add a selectable Layer to the Google Maps on the Android system that integrates with the Contacts list and shows them in Google Maps. Only contacts with an adress can be shown in Maps and have to be in a certain format ofcourse. Also, you have entered a contact's adress information, from the Contact's menu with 'Call' and 'Text you should be able to use 'Navigate to', which is a Google Maps route from your current location to this person's house.

All my google applications like Gmail, Maps, Play,Google Plus are working fine in WIFI.But when i try to refresh or update these application thro Airtel 3g,i am getting No Connection Error.
All my 3rd party apps like Facebook,Whatsapp are working fine in 3G.
I'm using the latest version of Google Maps on JB 4.2.2 [Nexus 4]..I noticed that I cannot edit the names of my locations in "My Places" in the phone app. So I used Google Bookmarks (google.com/bookmarks) from my PC to edit/rename My Places. However, the names do not sync or carry through to the Google Maps app on the phone. The names in the app are still the generic names, coordinates or street names.
Is there any way to change the names of My Places and get them to sync with the phone app? Really baffling!

I am looking for an offline synchronizing tool/app/client for android devices.It can be used to take backup of
1. Contacts
2.Messages
3.Photos & Videos
4.Calender.
It should be able to backup this data using one or more of these:
1.USB
2.WIFI
3.BLUETOOTH
4.HTTP
Also, I am looking for such a tool specifically for Linux machines.The reason for this is to avoid sending data to the cloud during backup for privacy reasons. Actually I am developing such a cross platform compatible offline synchronizing tool myself. But I want to know if this already exists.
I recently bought my first smart phone (Sony Xperia Active Android 2.3)
Since yesterday my time does not synchronize after a reboot. I rebooted a couple of times and also tried a different Apps which query and sync my clock. But they all come up with the same problem "server timeout", "perhaps there are network problems" "network not available" and I'm sure i have wifi working at the time. I also tried different NTP servers, IP adresses instead of DNS names and i've checked my home router (problem occurs at work as well).
For working needs a colleague is given the password for a gmail account and he settled this account on his android phone. Now I want to stop the possibility for him to accede and so I've changed the password via web. But I noticed on my android that gmail keeps synchronizing every mail, despite I've changed th pw! Obviously also my colleague is able to receive all emails yet.

How to remove these associations? I only want maps to run if I ask it to, never any other time.
My wife's phone - which is a ZTE Blade running 2.2 - is losing it's favorites in the contacts manager each time it syncs to Google Contacts.
I looked up her Google Contacts [URL] and there is no "Starred in Android" group, as it should be. I think it should be automatically created when she fovorites a contac in her phone. But instead, it deletes the starring of the contacts in the phone each time it syncs.
I don't want my contacts to be synced with Google. IIRC, this was possible in 2.x. Having upgraded to 4.0.4, I'm not able to disable Google contacts.
I'd like to:
1. Disable contact sync (this works)
2. Change all contacts from Google contacts to phone contacts
3. Add new contacts as phone contacts by default.
Using the "Accounts and Sync" settings, I'm only able to deselect "Sync Contacts", but I can't find a way to move the contacts and disable the creation of new Google contacts.
My Facebook contacts are merging with my ICS "People" address book and Google contacts. I don't want this.
I opened the FB app from my Rezound (ICS) and looked at the settings. The "Sync Contacts" option is set to "Don't sync"
Then I looked in the Android Settings --->Accounts&sync--->facebook where there are three boxes, sync calendar, sync contacts, and sync live feed. I made sure all those boxes are unchecked.
I figured I'd just try deleting FB from my Rezound but it seems to be undeletable if that's a word. It's like standard bloatware that I actually use on occasion.
So why are my FB contacts still merged with my Google contacts? I am seeing my contacts with their FB photo and this drives me crazy. I don't want FB communicating with my address book. Gingerbread didn't do this.
how google accounts work. I got a phone previously owned by a family member and all his contacts are still in the phone. I was wondering if it is possible to delete all the contacts on the phone but not affect his google account contacts? Also, if i reformat the phone, will this delete all his google contacts?

I've read online that Google maps has a feature that allows for automatic screen dimming when using Google maps. However, I can't find the setting. Has it been removed?
If it has been removed, is there an app that will do it?
How come the i/phone has Google maps that show traffic (red/orange/green) But on the Droid 4, the standard google maps app does not have this traffic (sigalert) capability? Is it restricted to iphones only? I believe it is the same Google Maps app.

I am looking for any mod/rom/app which integrate dialer with google maps/navigation.
Android phone is almost perfect device for me but there is one huge problem with navigation when driving and someone call you then dialer covers whole screen when pickup the call.
So far I have found that only htc navigation works well with dialer but unfortunately the only navi app is best for me is Google Navigation. So the question is...
Does exist any application or mod which activating that feature on android phone.
Is there some way to force Google Maps to actually use Mock Locations?. I have mock locations turned on, on my phone and I use a seperate GPS receiver. It works in several maps, but the second I activate navigation for Google Maps I get an annoying popup telling me to activate GPS. I just want that popup to go away but cant.
View 3 Replies View Relatedthis is an issue that I have always noticed but just decided now to create a thread for it as to a question of why Google Maps is running in the background and how can I make it stop? It takes about 5mb of RAM which I care about since I am using a very low memory device, The Motorola Droid 1.
Here's a pic:
how I can make it stop running in the background? It is confirmed that GPS if off and im not signed in to Latitude or anything like that.
I want to set up a trip on Google Maps and have 5 waypoints to navigate to in order.

Background: With Google Maps 6.9.0 it is possible to make certain maps areas available offline. As for Europe, this seems to be dependant upon where you attempt to make this happen. Most of Croatia (except Zagreb) seems to be unavailable, same goes for most of Italy except major cities.
