Tap address in Contact to launch navigation - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I have only owned HTC phones for the past few years. I remember being able to tap on an address in a contact and have it launch navigation. I guess it has been some time since I last tried it. Well am I missing something or is this option gone now. Was it part of the whole Apple lawsuit around the release time of the Evo lte. I think I remember that as I'm typing this post?

It works on my stock HTC One. I'm using Scout and when I touch the address I get the option to Drive To, View Map, Share, and Search Nearby.

Does not work in stock with Google maps. Strange.

Are you touching an address in one of your contacts?

NM. Cleared all defaults and it works now.

Can I ask what you did? I don't follow the 'Cleared all defaults' step.
I've had this same issue. My research shows some threads indicating its due to the Google Maps update. Uninstalling the Google Maps update in Applications Manager has solved this for me. Default had the App auto update so I also had to disable that on the maps app.
HTC points at Google saying they changed the way Navigation worked. Google has said nothing about a fix.

I tried clearing contact, Phone, maps defaults. Still won't work. Emailed htc, they said it's the Google maps update to v7 at fault. No word on a fix. Just confirming what previous poster said

EDIT: See edit at the bottom of this post.
Sorry I have notifications turned off on my phone. Just happen to check my Gmail and noticed your post. I only use my work email on a daily basis.
If you are still not able to find it, this is what I found.
The clearing of the defaults was not the fix. I did that and then I noticed what I was doing wrong.
Go to call history in dialer or people tab or people app.
Select contact that you have an address attached to.
Click on contact picture. (not the contact itself)
You are then presented with a row of icons with a choice to call (if number is stored) email (if email address is stored) go to website (if it is stored) and so on. In this row of choices is a Google maps icon (if you have an address stored) click and it launches Maps.
Let me know if it helps.

Setting password for email app

I have setup my email accounts on stock email app and it works okay for me, but sometimes I need to handover my phone to other people and I don't want them to see my email messages, so I close the the app before handing it over. But I realized that there is no option to set which asks for password each time when you start up your app.
So anyone know how to do that? or is there any good third party email client that I can try and possibly have this functionality??
thank you !!!
You can buy tasker and launch a lockscreen whenevr the app is launched

Thanks! I guess thus will solve my problem.

Well the only thing about that is that in my experience tasker won't recognize it being launched unless its launched from an app drawer...not a shortcut

Contact names not showing up in messaging app.

Whenever I get a message from someone, all I get is their number. I realized it was only happening with my facebook synced contacts. I believe its because the facebook contact number has dashes (555-555-5555) and when I receive a text, it doesn't (5555555555). Is there a quick way to fix this? Or do I have to add every number and join it to that persons contact?

Sorry that I couldn't get back until now, but I'm using go SMS. But it does it in any messaging app. I tried checking the stock SMS app, and the same thing happened.

It is due to the way the numbers are saved. You will have to link them and make sure they are set up the same way as the ones that work.
If you're using google sync too you might want to go to your contacts and edit your google contact details cuz I think the contact list uses google details over facebook ones

I can't delete this thread in stock messaging app?

After attempting to send a contact, this annoying message showed with the name "anonymous" that I can't seem to delete, any way to reset the messaging app? Clear data is grayed out in the settings app. I've tried to clear everything else. I'm rooted.

That appears to be a draft. Hit settings---delete drafts. Then hit settings in that draft area to delete it. I think...
Wow, that was simple. You'd think it would let me just delete it from the outbox. Problem solved!

LOL. Now that you don;t have any drafts that delete drafts options is gone. Like magic stuff....:silly:

If you're meaning Samsung's own email app (looks like an envelope with an @ over the front), then it should get a badge by default, IF you setup the software.
I actually don't know of a way to turn that off, outside of just not having it auto sync, so the only time the software deals with emails is when you manually check it, while the software is open. In which case you'd never actually see a badge.
If your talking about the GMAIL app... I don't 'think' it gets a badge by default. I could be wrong... I actually find the stock samsung email app a bit better than gmail, cause you can create/edit folders, and the signature options are far greater. AND the fact they finally added push notifications to it (which was the main reason I used the gmail app in the first place).
Yes its the Samsung mail app I currently have Gmail and yahoo synced to it bit do not get any badges ....

@Ragnarkov is correct. The stock mail app will show badges if you set up an account with it. The Gmail app does not unless you use a 3rd party launcher like Nova.
Lol that's the problem both of my note 3 doesn't show the badges like the message app does
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
Are you running the stock TW ui? Or an aftermarket UI like Nova or Apex?
The only other thing I could suggest is do a factory reset, and if your still having the issue, take it and get a replacement. If after a reset, on stock TW UI, its not showing the badge, who knows what else software-wise could be screwing up in the device?
I know for a fact it SHOULD be working, and on mine it does. Sounds like some software glitch to me.
Hope you figure it out soon though!
My gmail deliveries show up on the stock email badge. Love how the email app here allows combining the inboxes of both.

Got the maximum roll out exceeded message, tried kies, still mk7 there for me. I'm sure it's coming, but US always seems to be the last, I think we were dead last for mk7 too..

Any Noticeable improvements?
Why is it these updates offer squat compared to the pain in the ass waiting-in the US also and in no hurry-I'll keep the root and flashed theme-just venting-thanks
There is an email app, but I can't figure out how to make it do anything. No mail shows up there from any of my mail accounts and there is no configuration either on the watch or in gear manager. Maybe a forthcoming gear manager is required.
It does seem Sammy is doing precious little to its keep up with the Jones' or maybe they're holding back pending a transition to Tizen.

This update did add some cool new features.
You can now specify what swipe up and down does on watch via 'Application Shortcuts' in Gear manager under 'My Apps'.
Also, Contacts and Logs are now just like other apps, you can make them favorites or not and you can adjust what order they appear in. Good changes from what I can see.
Finally, the 'Emails' app lets you read full emails for any new emails that come in (from the stock email app). You can also delete them via the menu when viewing them.

When you increase the backlight beyond level 5, there will be an 'outdoor mode' which will maximum the backlight and return to level 4 after screen off 5mins.
Also, in motion settings, you can choose wake up gesture to be "clock" or "last viewed screen"
I hope they are new features.
Bah... Update wont install on mine.. gets to 27% and I get the dead Android and it goes back to the homescreen..
Also when reviewing notifications if you tap and old say gmail or messages. Remove from list will come up. You select yes this is a delete all for that group.
Edit 2:
Weird - after awhile I started being able to read bits of email messages in the notifications area, so that (below) is solved.
I also noticed that you can drag and move icons in the "big icons" view. Long press on any big icon, and when the others appear to left and right you can drag to reorder them.
Old edit: I can read the messages from the "Email" application, but that means I now have to go to that App instead of just tapping from "Notifications" so overall it takes away the convenience of using a smartwatch to begin with. If I have to jump through hoops to see a message, I might as well just pull the phone out.
Just got the update this weekend. Totally borks exchange email if security is set on you work email. Now I can't quickly check my emails on my wrist. Really sucks, so now I have to figure out how to revert back. Does anyone know if you can do that through kies?

My company has heightened IT security and I have been unable to connect to my exchange account without installing MDM software and using TouchDown (which I hate). I gave CloudMagic a try and not only did it connect to my exchange account, the CloudMagic notifications come through on my gear with the same amount of message content I had with the stock email app. I have the UK version of the ROM installed so I can't confirm it works with the US update, but it might be worth a try.

Thank you very much! I can confirm that this works on the US version also and that the notifications are coming through clear on my watch. I had also lost the Outlook or Exchange emails with the latest update again, and have been using an Android email app instead, but they kind of got jumbled together on the watch, if there were two or three that came in close by each other.
