I'm running Android 4.1.2 on my Galaxy Note. How come I do not have Google now cards? My Google now seems to work but I am seem to get a simple page result and going over the settings, I do not see any options for Google cards, etc. Is this because I'm running a lower version of android?
You need to go to settings and enable search history.

Thats it? It's in the "Google settings" right? I just did - there seems to be no change.

I think Nokiamodeln91 means the setting of Google account in the global whole Settings.
For me, Google Now is too slow when using my 3G network, only possible wth wifi.

Thanks for clearing that up. Just changed some of the global settings of my Google account. Should the effect be instant or would it take several days?

The time I get your question you already have the answer, do you ?
Anyway for me it should take about few minutes. How about your situation ?
The cards will be appear when you're moving, the Wheater, the traking from your house to your work, Places close to you, etc. Just go to Google settings and enable Google Now (if not), then touch it and enable every Card. Working fine for me, (XXLT5 April 2)

I am unable to get the 'my location' status section of the weather widget to actually name my location e.g. Wembley / Westminster / Boston ... Reflecting wherever I am.
I am sure that previous weather apps were able to do this. It would automatically update according to one's location. In settings, all the location options have been selected inc. GPS. The only way I can get a place name to display right now, is if I manually select a city. :-\
I am sûre that i have overlooked something very simple to allow this function to work. Any ideas would be great. Thank you

What I done was tick all the boxes in settings then remove the widget and put it back on it worked for me me

Is it possible to remove the widget on Blinkfeed screen too ? Because I had the problem on this widget. (new phone should be coming in tomorrow or the day after)

Thanks for the suggestion. Only issue is, the weather app is integrated into blinkfeed, so it cannot be temporarily removed or deleted. Not sure how to get this to work...
EDIT - After de-selecting and selecting location services, went for a reboot of system. Then, prompt box came up on screen, asking whether I agreed or disagreed for Google to collect anonymous location information. I selected Agree and now location is displayed! Solved

The actual cause is in settings, power, fast boot. Turn this off and reboot. Make sure you have location services on as well.

Ah...you're onto something right there. First time I used my phone, I had this unchecked and everything was working just fine.
Then I did check this after a reset...and it wasnt working anymore. So I will make sure it's unchecked.
Thanks !

Thx! The described method also helps if the phone has trouble to find a location indoor without GPS. I couldnt use Google Maps at home cause it would never find a GPS connection.
Now it just uses the WLAN and mobile connection to get the location. Great!
I am sure I am missing the obvious. Came from a Samsung phone. I'm trying to find the location of "Settings>about" to see my software version. I touch the little wheel "settings". But from there there is no "about" to touch.
TIA
The very last option at the bottom??
That's where I thought it would be... It's not there I simply cannot find the "about" in settings.

Hey guys,
I`am having a problem with my Nexus 6 not beeing recognised in ADM and on the web Google Play site in device manager though it shows up in Google Play and syncing goes without problems. Running full stock MMB29V not rooted.
I contacted Google to look if the issue is beeing caused on their end because i tried everything else to solve the issue on my end.
Things i tried:
1.
1) Go into multitasking and close Android Device manager if it is open.
2) Open Google Settings app. Then go to Security. Uncheck both Android Device manager options. I believe they are Remote Erase and Tracking.
3) Go to Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Services. Clear cache and data.
4) Reboot
5) Back to Google Settings. Recheck both options.
2.
Did a data factory reset
3.
Reflashed the factory image folowed by a data factory reset.
4.
Booted up in safe mode.
ok @gee2012, ill try to make this painless..
now, in my n6, when i go into device manager, it cant find my n6. BUT, if i open my device manager app on my sgs4, it finds my n6 right away. it just seems like an android/google issue.

Visibility isn`t my main problem per se, i also can t enroll`in the N beta program for instance for automatic updates becasue it says i have no eligable devices linked to my account.

Yup, in My Devices its visible but not in the device manager section
Weird.
A friend had this same issue while trying to enroll - he got around this by adding a second Google account (you could create a new dummy account I guess if you don't have a second one already) to his phone, and signed up on the preview page using that account.

Could do that, but i want to know whats wrong my account (settings) or at the Google end and why it doesn`t link my phone to my account in the ADM.
Understood, and agreed. You'd want ADM to be able to locate your device in case it goes missing.
i'm exactly with this problem too on my nexus 6p.
i'm not able to see my device on ADM, keeps spining. already did all the troubleshooting i could find including the ones on the original post.
i do have another 2 google accounts on my nexus and no problem with them on finding the device in ADM and also the nexus is showing up on androidbeta enroll devices.
It might be something related with my primary google account since there is no problem on the other 2 google accounts.
The only thing that's different on my primary account is that it is protected with 2 step verification.
it's really weird and i really wanted to enroll to android N on my primary account.

My primary account is 2-step secured too. In Google Dashboard it also shows 2 Nexus 6`s , the primary secured one has the option to remove it from the account and the other non-secured one can`t be removed. Hope Google can solve this annoying issue.
I'm having the same issue. Even my second account doesn't show up.
i turned my location off, then my n6 stopped showing up in device manager. i turned on my location, and my n6 showed up in the device manager.

I tried everything humanly possible including your suggestion, at last i made a bugrepport and sent it to Google after contacting them and after investigation they can not determine the cause of the issue and they said they get back to me if they have a solution. I`am using 2 accounts atm so i can at least sign in properly.
Hi there,
My OP is working fine since the update to 4.02 except for 1 thing. The apps I use for recording my running workouts are closing after a while. I have tried different apps (runkeeper, polar beat, Strava) but they are all having the same problem. After a while (not always the same time) they close. All my battery save options are disabled. I tried to lock it in the recents screen.
On 3.x.x roms there was no problem and yes I did a factory reset after the update, my phone is stock no root etc....
I'm thinking about going back to 3.x.x rom if there is no solution for this

Ok.. Thnx.... Haven't tried that... Try it by next workout...but what does it exactly do? Do I've to enable the function? Now I switched it on put the apps in the upper section "allow apps to start automaticly" (translate that because it's in dutch on my phone) and then disabled the function. Is that ok or do I have to leave it on?
Under settings, battery, menu, high power usage apps. Do you have this set to on?

It looks like this is the solution!!! A few people tried it today ( on other forums ) and it seems to be working. I'll try it today, I'll keep you informed. But I only tell you if it worked and not my stats hahaha.
01-02 : I did a run today and it worked!!!
I realized that when I change some settings in ColorOS it magically changes back without telling you.
I installed Google Assistant from the app store. It required Google Assistance to be selected as the default Assistive App [default value : none]. After I changed that.. it changes back at some random amount of time.. I'm not able to work out how long it takes for it revert the setting.. but sure enough it will.
Another App is LastPass.. It requires me to Enable Autofill from accessbility Options.. Once again I turn it ON.. after some random amount of time it will revert it back to "Off"...
What can be done to stop this from happening?

Happens to some degree in the EU model too,noticed the lastpass app autofill stops amongst other things. Am thinkin maybe it's the Phone Manager app which I think kills battery intensive apps if you allow it

I'll give this a try.. I've gone into phone manager -> startup manager and allowed the two apps.. the two apps wasn't there even though I have allowed the app to run in the background.
We will see tomorrow.
Nope that didn't work.. anyone else have other suggestions? Anything to remove delete or hack?

Man,I don't know what the issue is but read on the Realme community that the OS just reverts to defaults to ensure proper functioning of the phone,
ColorOS is certainly the biggest downside to this phone. Am missing OxygenOS on my 6T a lot though I'm Gona stick with the x2 pro for now,
Bought the phone for its flagship specs and storage and and to get away from the hassle of messing around with the phones setting's with tricks and mods.
Have decided to just accept colourOS for what it us.,though there is some battery drain,it's not awful and I'm still getting notifications.
Will just have to hope things improve with updates and the next big update should improve things a lot,mind you,it's a long way to April ?
Not notice anything revert on mine... This sounds like the same issue I had on the mi 9... I can't remember how I solved it but it was something to do with the auto security checks the phone manager app did... After a set amount of time the phone manager would perform certain checks and reset certain options throughout the operating system.

Sounds about right,Have feeling the phone manager app has something to do with it.It does not like the developer options
Ok.. I found my work around for now.
I'm using tasker every 10 mins to change the accessibility options for all the apps that need it and set the google assistant to default.
Working ok so far for the last day.

Seems like more trouble than its worth,the only settings I'm having trouble keeping are the animation ones, but honestly it's not bothering me anymore. Have animations setting set to fast in the stock launcher setting and it's not so bad.
Didn't think lastpass was working but it has been appearing to autofill login to sites in a chrome
