Hi, anyone notice that when you search for something in the Google now search bar at the top, when you see your search results and click on one it opens it in 2 tabs on chrome. Any way to stop this, it's become very annoying.
Thanks
Don't click the link itself. Click elsewhere within that area of the search result.

Me too. Hard to believe that Android would have Bing as a search.
how can i post a screenshot from my phone to this forum?
bing is not poping up as the default serach, rather it is a floating ad thing across the bottom of my browser window.

if its an add bing might just be coincidental that it pops up all the time, some of the add removers dont really work on all phones. just ignore it.
where can i remove google search box.i remove google search from sys/apps but i want the search box gone where can i find it.
If you're just needing to pull it from the screen, you just long-press it and drag it to wherever the trash can icon shows up.

Did you read my post? Launch the app, once it is launched three little dots will appear at the top or bottom of the screen, these are where you enter any applications settings.

Try a long-press on the screen? Most apps will follow the android guidelines of using the 3 dots to indicate the menu, but others (especially homescreens) will rely on long-presses to declutter the UI.

I already did yesterday
I love that you can open apps using the "OK Google" feature but the one I probably want to do this with most is Waze while I am driving. I just can't get the right wording to get it to open.
Showing how I pronounce it and what I get
Wayss - Way's
WayZee - Way Z
Wazeee - Waze z
Waaaass - whats
Any suggestions.
Try "open app waze." That works for me.

I can't find where I saw this, but I read of someone using a program that made shortcuts and such into actual custom apps. They gave that a unique name, and opening that "app" was ultimately just a redirect into opening Waze.
I know that's very little to go on, but this is XDA, someone else might be able to fill in the blanks

Hi there,
I have Galaxy S21 ultra for the past 48 hours I've been getting the error "It looks like there was an error signing into your account" whenever I try to use Google Discover in the Google app or by using the far left home screen. Is this happening for anyone else?
I've tried all the normal troubleshooting methods, but unfortunately all not work.
Waiting for any brilliant thoughts?

I know this sounds like a "did you plug it in" type answer but....go to settings and make sure discover is turned on.

I did this one but does not work!
Same error on main account, works if I switch to another Google account that is on device.
As a temporary solution, I found this trick can solve this issue
The temporary fix seems to be turning off Web & App search history for your account.
1) From the Discover screen, press your account icon in the upper right corner.
2) Select "Search History" from the menu.
3) Turn off "Web & App Activity". Scroll down and select the "Pause" button to confirm.
4) Return to the Discover screen and refresh. You should see your news items again.
You need to download google news from Playstore.

This removed the error message but does not update the feed.

Why? It is not google feed that you can access from the home screen. It is already on my phone.

Hi there Nobrain3000, you are absolutely correct!!!!!!!
I downloaded Google News on my Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus, this morning without seeing your post.
Decided to read articles through Google News. (not News & Weather)
Received an email update that lead me to MoMo131's post.
As I opened Google to disable search history, voila, Discover page filled with posts.
Checked and my search history is on.
Did the same on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A, Discover page filled with posts!!!
The answer is definitely, install "Google News" (not News & Weather) through the Play Store.
Thank you Nobrain3000, such an easy resolution.

I already had google news installed and it did not fix the problem. If I change the account to my secondary account it fills the discover feed but I have never used that account it would have relearn what content I want to see.

Hi Smartymcfly,
Your situation is different because the secondary account receives the discover feed. You could go back an forth to check what is different within each of the Google account's settings (I likely would do this and waste the better part of a day). Then I would delete the secondary account on the phone. Uninstall then reinstall Google News (Not News & Weather), ensure discover is on (yes obvious however worth a check), restart the phone, then read a few articles in Google News before opening Google. Then open Google and see if it works.
Please let me know how you make out, I am curious to see what is blocking your Discover feed. That darn feed is addictive. Something I like to do each morning and really upset my day when I could not use it.
Take care,
Toni
