Hi
if a topic already exists with an answer to my question, please forgive me, i searched but didn't find.
All in all, here's my question : how does google now work? i can't find a way to chose which cards are displayed, in which order, etc ...
for instance, i set a google now widget on my homesreen with 3 row dimension, but it uses only one, and displays only the next task in my calendar, even though i got 4 coming today and it has empty space where it could display them.
Also when in google now, i can't find a way to order my tabs :-/ i would like my calendar tabs over the meteo ones, etc
all this seems very "not ergonomical" but i guess i'm just confused....
thanks a lot for your answers

Hope you Understand
Google Now collects all the data available and then accordingly tells you about them.
For Eg.- If you travel from one place to another regularly it will collect that particular data. Through Maps
Then it would show you the Estimated time and traffic related details.
It also provides Bus or Train timings if your nearby a Railway or Bus station.
Similarly it provides many useful cards BUT it requires a working data plan and time.
mmh i guess i'll give it a try then. but what about rearranging cards ?

You cant arrange them.
They Pop-up accordingly.But if you do not want a particular card swipe to remove it
but then after, how do i re bring it back if i ever need it :-/
Doesn't it also take some time to learn? I had it on for about a week before things started popping up.
First TRY IT

Any comments? i tried keeping my finger pressed on the icons but that opens the apps up...help! i am trying to remove some icons from the screens
thanks
People please, 22 posts and no replies? I am certain some of you must have updated the firmware and found this bug. I tried searching for çustomization' and other words I could think of but could not find the correct threads on this. Please help, I cannot find any way to edit the screens (not even in settings).
Thanks a lot in advance for your inputs, really appreciate
I think HTC changed the delay when moving or removing widgets or shortcuts from Home pages.
Just needs a more accurate and slightly longer press and hold before it triggers the move.
I must admit, its not as easy as it was.
Just make sure you press the icons for long enough. I find it sometimes takes as long as 10 second for the remove option to come up. And also, its seems slightly tempremental sometimes. If it doesnt work after 10 seconds, try again.
Hold the icon only after the screen/scene is static
People
It just opens the app up after 2 seconds, no matter how long i keep pressing it. I have tried multiple ways....has anyone reported this to HTC? any easier way around this? This is pissing me off!

Given noone else has this problem, shouldn't you be the one reporting it?
I did, am just trying to find out if someone else already has a solution for it....anyone?

I don't have the problem, it works just fine for me. I suggest you try doing a hard reset or something, sounds like something hasn't installed right on your system.
Have you tried long presses on other apps, like messages? Just to see if it recognises long presses at all...
Silly question...
Your not trying this in the applications list are you ?
You are trying this on the Home screens ??
Just want to clear that up
Yes I am trying on the homescreen, I even have tried changing the scenes to try it for the icons....does not work And yes I have tried it on all icons, apparently all the big icons (HTC ones) seem to work much better (though not always) whereas shotcuts to applications seem to be the worst. On a total average 98 out of 100 times the shortcuts open the application no matter how i try it....emailed HTC and they told me the same story of what is written in the manual even though I explained i already did that.....have emailed them again to see if they take it more seriously
anyone else have a solution?

I can only suggest that you either return the phone (if possible), or at least try rolling back the firmware to see if this fixes your issue.
As it stands, it looks like you are the only person in this community suffering from this, so it makes it very unlikely it is a "generic" firmware issue, and more likely that it has something to do with your physical device.

Hi Friends,
I have a nokia lumia phone.
I dont know what happened but all of a sudden when i have observed i was able to see context menu icons after sliding right to homescreen,the apps where arranged alphabetically with the Alphabet box on top of each app.this creates a very long menu to scroll.
Please help.I dont want to reset my phone again.is there any setting i fiddled with?
I think MS will have to pop up an info box when this happens.
Don't worry it's normal, it is by design. It is to make it easy to jump through a lot of applications. I find it very useful, you probably will too when you get used to it.
Thank you...i thought i have done something wrong and nokia support asked me to reset my device for it...Youve saved me
Yes this is the list of all of your apps
When you have 30 or more apps, Letters appear, you can click on them to jump from one to another, when you are used to, it's pretty nice
The same thing happened to me today. I counted 45 apps installed. It seems to be the magic number.

I think the limit is 45 apps? I also find the letters useful. Makes finding the app you want much easier/quicker when you are used to it.
For some reason a little blue battery icon with a number for the charge percent in the middle randomly popped up in the top left corner of my notification bar. Also toggles for wifi, bluetooth, gps, sync, and brightness appeared under "Ongoing". These two things happened at the same time and I don't know how and would like to get rid of them. If this is the right place to be asking can someone help me or direct me to the ride thread were I can ask?
some more screen grabs...
I tried working with Samsung live support but they were no help. Here are some more screen grabs that I thought may help diagnose the problem. Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help!
It to s due to some app you installed..uninstalled the latest ones and check
sent from here, there, somewhere!!

Thank you for your reply, I tried uninstalling all my recent apps and it doesn't seem to be working. I always check the ratings and reviews on apps before I download them and try to download only reputable apps so I'm not sure how this could be the problem. The screenshot of my apps shows all the apps I downloaded the day the problem arose.
Remove any tools and battery apps installed .
Remove all not downloaded from the market .
Fails to clear then backup data and factory reset to revert to out of the box state .

Seems to have worked. I uninstalled widgetsoid and that seems to have gotten rid of it. It must have somehow activated a new feature I wasn't aware of seeing as I downloaded it when I first got my phone but realized I didn't need it so I never really even used it. I kind of feel like an idiot now, thanks everyone for the help especially JJEgan for being specific about tools and battery apps. Glad to have joined this forum I think it's the best of its kind.
For the past week I have been getting a card popping up constantly throughout each day asking me if I want to set a particular location as my place of work.
Thing is, I have had my work location set for months and the new location it keeps asking me to set is a holiday club for disabled kids that I took my son to for a few hours a week ago and I haven't been to the location before or since.
It wouldn't be so bad if the card had an option to dismiss it or something but it only has the option to set or edit and if I swipe it away it just comes back a little later.
How on earth do I stop it spamming me with this card?
UPDATE:
I have been through maps and google now settings and deleted all references of the mentioned location and yet still, it keeps bringing the same card back!!!
isn't there a stick box to say that you don't want that anymore?

Nope but I really think there needs to be...
Arghh! It gets worse.
As well as the previously mentioned card, I have had two more cards popup today asking me to set TWO MORE different locations as work place.
Thing is, I haven't left the house all day!!
Any way to completely reset Google Now's memory or something?
I've deleted ALL maps history and that hasn't helped.
I keep accidentally deleting cards and they don't seem to come back. How can I get them back?
Thanks!
You can't. Dismissed = dismissed (thank god, otherwise al the duplicate notifications would drive you crazy)

I sort of depends on your cards. I lost my Stock quote cards and had to do a Google "Quote XRX" search. That restored my card for stocks. It's tied closely to your search activity, so do some searches and see if that restores the cards you're looking for.

That's not true. Also the watch prevents duplicate cards...
Usually just search for it in order for it to reappear. Weather gone? Say "How's the weather?". Calendar gone? Say "What does my schedule look like?" And so on...
If it was an app that had a card just open the app again.
You might also try refreshing google now on the phone if it was a google now card.

You're right about that, but technically that means refreshing the notification (and thus the input may be different/updated). It depends on how you look at it (perhaps i'm splitting hairs now )
How do I refresh google now on my phone? I've looked but don't see a refresh button. I've googled the weather like 10 times and the weather card still isn't showing up. Same for stocks. What a pain!

That's weird, this usually works for me. Is the weather showing when you asked for it or does it just do a google search? And is the weather card still on the phone? You can refresh google now on the phone by swiping down when open and at the top.
Do your searches for the relevant card, give it some time. It will reappear.
Thanks Devs, from my LG G2
I understand some of the above frustrations with cards. For me I really like the weather on my watch face and wish there was a watch face that had weather (temperature) built right the face (not a card). I have accidentally swiped away my weather card and sometimes it takes hours for it to reappear.
Hoping over the next few weeks, devs will start making 3rd party watch faces (if it is even possible).

Thanks for the heads up; did not even notice that thread. Wish they had a category on Play for "Android Wear Watch Faces", would make it so much easier to discover new content.
