Hi
I've only just got the S3 and have a question regarding locations.
The phone has upgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and I'm connected to the internet using wifi.
When I click on the google search and ask 'what's the weather like' it shows me the weather for my nearest city about 20 miles away.
If I go into maps and click location it shows the correct location.Near enough any way.
In google if I search for local pizza restaurants I get results from the USA... I'm in the UK.
So three different location are shown depending on what I'm doing..
Anyone know how solve that ??
As a slight side issue,the time on my phone is correct, but the default weather app is showing as 1 hour ahead.. any ideas ?
Thanks

The location thing happens to me when I am using AOSP based ROM's. But on Samsung rom's it's always precise.

hey guys i have my new Atrix and im loving it!
Just one small problem....
I bought it from a guy who got it from America, i received it rooted and fully updated with ginger-blur 1.5 installed.
The problem is that i live in Australia and while i have managed to get it working fine on my carriers network when i search for things on google it will retrieve u.s results instead of local ones.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks for any help on this guys

As an aussie user of an AT&T Atrix I had to complete the above when first using it to get my results to change. Also used MoreLocale2 to setup a custom (en/AU) location so the dialer stopped showing things so...strangely
Hi all,
I bought my S2 a week ago. First I fel sad for sending back my Sensation (yes, signal issues ), but then using S2, its sexy looking design performance and speed impressed me. Great Device!
But I have problem about samsung account. I've never used Samsung devices before, not needed for Samsung account. I want to sign up from my device, everytime shows me same issues - Processing failed.
I also can't add e-mail (Hotmail, Gmail)acoounts and IM (Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo) accounts to Social Hub.
BTW, I tried to sign-up/add accounts on stock ROM, yesterday updated to XXKG6 - 2.3.4, but result is still same, can't add account...
CAN ANYBODY HELP ME ABOUT IT?
Thanks...

YOU! I love you. I just had to figure this out as well, didn't know there was an app for this.
More details
Can you share any more details with this. I downloaded a market enabler app but couldn't seem to get anywhere. Which one did you use and which country did you run as? I am curious I just want to get my samsung act setup.
Thanks.

Same problem with me in the start... Though I solved it by changing the country to UK in gmail account...
Find out what country ROM you have, and then download and activate Market-enabler of the same same Country your ROM is. You should be fine after that!
I'm wondering if there is a good application for my droid that will use the GPS to get me around with a preloaded map database so that it doesn't rely on me having a data connection.
Edit: did some research, looks like osmand and mapdroyd are the best choices. Any user opinions on which is better and why?
Thanks,

Google maps works well for a *basic* map,newer versions can cache the map.
Thanks but I was looking for something that could do TBT navigation as well.

Are you using the Android Market app to try and download google maps? If so try accessing the android market from your phone's built in web browser instead. Download google maps from your browser onto your SD card and install it manually.

I think Copilot, also
Copilot works without any data connection right? Just like TomTom for iOS? And does anyone know where I can find a cracked version without having to pay 20.00 ? Thanks

Does ask others on a development forum to help you be dumb and disrespectful toward software developers. $20 is cheap.

Hi guys,
I have created a tiny app to automate my phone (a Samsung Galaxy S4) to do a simple task of my daily basics needs.
Basically it turns ON and OFF the bluetooth radio of my phone when I drive my car so it connects to the hands-free device of my car.
The application works great on my Android 4.3 device, however on Android 4.4 (KitKat) it doesn't work because it uses Google Play Services API for driving recognition and they (google) seemed to have changed the API on KitKat!
So my question is, can someone help me open a ticket to google to question about that changes on the API?
Google only allows tickets from anyone with one of Google Apps for Business, Education, Government, or Nonprofit accounts!
BTW: The app is named "bluetooth drive link" and is available at Google Play -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ferfig.bluetoothdrivelinkdemo
Anyone?!
