Thanks. I don't see a special option to become visible. It seem to be a typical Android bluetooth setup, where there's a message saying the phone is visible to nearby devices. On my previous phone that screen showed the nearby evices by name. This one show them by address, and still doesn't...

Re: "Android is Starting" "Optimizing App x of xxx" With Restarts of the phone 5.1 Verizon I'm having the same problem, but unrelated to the state of charging. It doesn't happen, but once in a while my Moto X (2013) shuts off. It just happened and it's probable that the optimization was...

Same problem as XWeb10 with me and my Moto X 1st Gen. Things worked fine until the Lollipop "up"grade. Now it wakes up with the "OK Google Now" command, but stops listening when in my car. My Bluetooth device is my Dodge UConnect radio. When not connected to any Bluetooth it listens just fine.

Good observation. And then they just check off to get replies by email, so they can just hit and run.

So with the latest Maps update, does Car Home Ultra go directly into navigation? I don't have any problem with the update other than the easy-in, easy-out action going away. If Car Home could take care of that, it would be worth it.

I didn't try phone calls, but I did notice inconsistent behavior when hitting the home button during a nav session. Sometimes it would exit nav completely, and other times the nav would stay active. I only tried that a few times, so I don't know how often it happened.

Sixty_four, I sure can relate to that story. I normally don't mind geeking out and playing with new apps - on occasion, and when I have time. And I've turned off the auto-updates so as not to get blind-sided again. That navigation app is one of those things that, when I need to use it, I need it...

I hear what you're saying. Navigation, in general, is a convenience. We did just fine back in the day with paper maps, handwritten directions, and "where the heck are you?" calls from phone booths. And I was never into the "guy thing" by avoiding asking for directions at some gas station. But it...

Don't encourage them! :)

Folks, it was mentioned way back in some of the first comments that the latest Google Maps update has a "Send feedback" selection that you can get to by pressing on the menu icon on the lower left of the main Maps screen. If you've got strong feelings, positive or negative, about this latest...

I won't debate the semantics of the word "clearly". Way too subjective a term. What's clear to you is clearly, to me, not clear to everyone:eek:. And that's really all I'm getting at. There are most likely 100's of millions of people with some version Google Maps on their phones. How many just...

Actually, not so clear. If you look at their Maps website, Google Mobile Maps, the word "beta" doesn't appear anywhere, especially not in their Turn-by-turn Navigation description. And if you click Download to get to their Google Play page, no mention of beta there, either. It does seem like...

I've seen mostly negative opinions to the update, a couple positive, and some who say, "Stop whining and just get used to it". Personally, I see whining, especially from those with specific points, should be beneficial to Google. Google's marketplace is very different from the traditional. The...

You need to disable all autoupdating through the Google Play store, in Settings.

Same here. I lost GPS while going through a tunnel and the app kept up fine. I have no issues with the update once the directions are up and running. It's just the method to get there is a pain, which can be distracting while driving.
