Google Now,contact's address and choose for call - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there.
Is there any hotword for Google Now to navigate to a contact's address? I mean something like "navigate to John", and it shows directions with Maps.
And, why, when I say "call *contact* " , does it return to me "choose which one of these you want to call", with many contacts with the same name?
I tried with one contact which I assured to be ONE in "Contacts", and not many of it.

[Q] Voice Input... Very Weird Things Happening!!

Ok. Check this out... When trying to dictate a text message using the microphone, it always says "No Matches Found." I made sure settings were set to English U.S.
Rebooted phone- Same thing
Cleared data on the "Voice Search" app, then Reinstalled "Voice Search" from the Market. Reboot. - Same Thing... "No matches Found"
Tried using the Google Search bar on the home screen - same thing... "No Matches Found." Occasionally it may spit our the letter "ct".
Here's the weird part. Using Vlingo, I can dictate a memo, or call a contact with no problem. Just never selected the correct contact when you want to text via Vlingo.
Any Ideas? This phone is STOCK. I have another SGS2 running Cognition X Beta-4.. no issues.

[Q] Can't sms/text a friend - very weird problem

I have a person whom i need to send a text message to. I have removed him from my contacts (to troubleshoot this crazy problem). When I text him, by going to my phone icon on main page, then type in the phone number, then click the third icon (yellow icon with envelope), it then automatically adds a +1 at the start, puts dashes in the number, AND adds "[email protected]" (the dns address of our network (I added the quotes). Then when I type the message and hit send, it shows as "sending" but never ACTUALLY sends it.
I have searched for this number in my contacts list, also using "Power Search" that I purchased, and I can't find his cell number at all (i have REMOVED him!).
If I do the above, but before sending, go back up into the number field, and edit the number back to straight cell#, a pop up appears "Converting to text message..." and then after finally putting the cell# back in, this time it doesn't auto-re-format the number, and it goes as a text.
NORMALLY, to text/sms, I would just go to my contacts' entry, then click the "envelope", and presto... send. But, for THIS contact, the same thing happens as above (thus the reason I deleted his contact info to troubleshoot).
Thanks for any help!

Do you store your contacts on the google servers?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes, all my contacts are google (sorry, forgot to mention that).... i don't have any local contacts in the phone itself (at least i don't think so), and i also have contacts in facebook (but this guy isn't on my facebook at all)...
You can use a secondary messaging app like handcent or go sms pro, and see if this happens again. Just a wierd problem!

[Q] Google Now Only Finding G+ Contacts

When using the new prompted text feature of Google Now, it only seems to find contacts who have G+ accounts. However, if I specify the name on the original request, the contact is found no problem.
Scenario 1: I say "send a text" and GN asks for the contact name. I say "Olivia" and GN says contact not found (after 3 attempts to find it).
Scenario 2: I say "send a text to Olivia", GN finds the contact and asks me to state the message.
Scenario 3: I say "send a text" and GN asks for the contact name. I say Olivia's last name. GN presents me with two people from my contacts with the same last name, neither of which is Olivia. I have several contacts with the same last name, but the only ones presented are ones with G+ accounts.
I noticed this as soon as the prompted texting became available in Google Search app. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

[Q] Dealing with work contacts (multiple contacts with the same number)

I have a minor annoyance, maybe someone has a fix/workaround.
I have a couple dozen work contacts in my phone, they all have the same phone number but a different extension, I also have a contact "Company Name" with no extension. When anyone from work calls it pops up as "Coworker Name". "Cowoker Name" is always the same person but the name is neither alphabetically the first or last contact with that number which seems to rule out the obvious work around of forcing "Company Name" to the top of the list.
Any ideas on how I can make it show "Company Name" when someone calls?

Cannot search exchange emails

Hi,
I have an issue with a user I'm trying to support who cannot search emails on her Galaxy Alpha. After opening the exchange inbox and tapping the Magnifying glass icon we can search for a name but this results with all emails that have the name within the email as well as emails sent by that person.
However, tapping the settings next to the search field presents the 'Advanced Search' options. This clearly allows us to search for an individual sender, which is exactly what we want. I start by typing the name of the sender and this is recognized and picked up through the address list. All good so far. I've left the remaining fields untouched except for the dates the email being searched for was sent.
I then click search and we see no results at all...... totally blank. I've been through the search terms several times in case I'm missing something but there's no obvious issues and nothing is found by the search tool at all.
There are no pending updates that could patch this problem so we're confused. Can anyone advise how Samsung's advanced email search should work?
I'd be very grateful to anyone who knows the answer to this.
