Google Maps Help - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hey all,
Possible user error here, but I noticed that searching for a contact from the within the Maps app does not appear to return any results. Also, if I search for a business, Maps does not sort the results according to what is closest...they're just kind of all over the place.
Full disclosure, I recently switched back to Android after using an iPhone for maybe two years, so I'm not entirely sure if this is just how the UI is or if I'm being a bonehead.
Any help is appreciated.
***Edit**
Well, I found the answer to question one is that I'm using a Google Apps account, so contact search isn't support within Maps yet.

Android market/Google play

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, however since the TFP is the first and only tablet I thought I would start here with this question.
Again I am new to tablets so please excuse me if this is a stupid question to be asking. Since I have owned this tablet I have installed many apps from the Android market and now Google play. On my Android phone when I update an app it will have the "what's new" area, visit the developers website and reviews from users. On my tablet I do not see these areas at all. I have gone to the settings in google play (android market), I have tried to search through Google and search through XDA and have not found the answer.
Is this the way it is on tablets?
Am I missing something on the settings?
I hope this is fixable because I like to look at what is new, look at reviews and sometimes I like to go to the developers website before I update my apps.
Thanks in advance and again sorry if this has already been asked and answered

You need to tap the app icon, that's the only way I know..

Dialer integration to google maps

Hi, 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
Any one already tried to develop this ?
I have already spent around 100pounds on navigation apps that I dont like and I am able to pay some cash to have that option available on google maps and I think many people will be happy from this feature is well, so if you have any info how to do this please tell.
Questions should be posted in Q&A forums, not Development forums.
Thread moved.
anyone?
or any hint where to look for sensation dialer that show up when driving ?

[Q] No Google Play Services

Hi,
I recently bought an android phone from overseas (China) and when I was trying to set it up I noticed that there are no Google Play services meaning there is no Play Store, Music etc, I can't sync my contacts or emails and do a lot of the stuff associated with Google.
The Phone is an HTC Desire 5088 (I think its the Chinese version of the Desire 510) running Android 4.1.2. I really just want to install all the Google services so that the phone runs like a regular android phone.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Also I know this may be the wrong place to post this but would anyone be able to point me in the right direction as to how to root the device? I have tried looking everywhere but can not find anything.
Thank you.
Maybe this is due to ban on google in china.
Solution could be to root the device and flash gapps package.
Even better would be to find a chinese forum for your device and see how those guys do it.
Use google translate of course.
