Hi Geeks
i have a question regarding Home screen Google search widget.
it doesn't seem working on my 4X, each time i clicked it shows *Discovery Google Now!* with white screen.
any one has this issue?
i assume it should work as Google search ?
Thanks !!!

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.

if you are on android 6.0 just press the home button for about 3 seconds then a square seem to appear and inform you about anything thats on screen, for eg if you get a text related to Motorola and you try now on tap google will search for motorola .. happy now on tap
Hey... But i am using cm 13 rom (sorry for not mentioned previously) now, what can i do. Even i installed google now please let me know.
Hi,
I have been playing around with my new P20 Pro and setting it up to match with what I was used to on my Nexus 6P.
Coming from pure Nexus experience, I really liked the personalised cards you would see on your Google feed (when you swipe right on the home screen)
With EMUI default launcher, it has the option to show Google feeds, but nothing is showing up on the Google Assistant/Now screen when I swipe right on the home screen. It only shows the Google search bar at the top.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue or have figured out how to get it working? I have looked at a few things online and nothing there is helpful.
I had that issue but after I had finished setting everything up it was working fine. Sadly I can't remember exactly what I did to fix it. Try going through all the Google stuff. Hold the home button and set up Google Assistant. Go into the Google settings and have a play in there
You should have an options menu when you swipe right on the home screen. Be sure to enable feed and any other relevant options. Hopefully you figure it out.

Hi Highspeed123,
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried all of those things, set up Assistant, enabled feed in Google Settings and in EMUI Launcher's setting. Played around with various properties in Google Settings too, to no avail.
Hopefully, someone else would have figured out how to get it working.
Thanks
So, after trying various things and trying to search online, I had a stroke of luck. Here are the steps that helped me get the Google feed and the cards working on the right swipe of home screen.
1. Open Play Store
2. Select Google App
3. Uninstall (this will uninstall any updates that were applied)
4. Check you Google feed from the home screen (it should now be working but showing you content in some different format)
5. Come back to Play Store
6. Update the Google App
7. Return to home screen to check your Google feed and the cards now appear in the format you are used to
8. Phew...
It was tricky to figure this all out and had little help out there on the internet.
So, I hope this helps anyone else out there struggling with the setup to enjoy their shinny new P20 Pro
Cheers

That fixed the problem for me, thanks!
Now feed not working for me either - it does if I uninstall updates, but as soon as it updates it stops.

Yes, I noticed that on Thursday when the Google app updates were pushed out. I have skipped the update for now.
This updates are so temperamental on non stock Android!!

Mine is sluggish to get going. I often need to do a Google search and swipe backwards and forward a couple of times and then it will populate.
Been working fine all day, then all of a sudden stopped working again!
Same issue.
Worked for me - thx!
Has anyone found any other solutions than this? I've tried this as well as clearing all Google data, to no avail. Is there any other suggestions?
I use Lawnchair Launcher and Lawnfeed for this.

Not sure if you have already tried it, but another workaround is to simply search for something in the search bar at the top and after closing the search results, the feeds starts appearing!
Not necessarily reliable the whole Google feeds and Maps app on a non stock Android phone, but we all wanted a super camera
Google seems to have updated. i now get a feed and navigation items at the bottom. It looks different with a smaller search field. Seems ok but I can't swipe stuff i'm not interested in away any more.
I've had the same problem, got my on the first day of release. It's taken till today to finally work! Hopefully yours starts working soon too!
I found a Google thread from 2 years ago that supposedly this isn't corrected yet. There was a few suggestions of updating your Google app but that didn't correct the problem. I can go into Google itself and select it that way and we'll find the song but with the button no.. anyone have any suggestions or can they verify it still broken. Thank you
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
