[Q] Google Now not Working on KK - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I've tried searching but no answer found, although others have asked. Using Latest MacKay KK 4.1.1 and I am unable to use google now via swype from left. Voice search works. I think the issue is related to an issue I had on a 4.3 Rom where I had to uninstall updates from Google Search and then update via app but unable to do that on KK.
Any solutions?

you must log in in search settings with your Google Account.
then you can activate Google now with swype from left
this works only in the google launcher

As far as I can see I'm logged in. I'm using gel launcher but of I try to open the search app I get a network error. When I had this on 4.3 ROMs I could delete updated from search open search and then update. I'll check settings again and thanks for the reply

I've been researching this issue and it seems that it is also affecting some Nexus 5 users too, Google is apparently working on a fix. If I manage to get a solution I'll post it here

It seems very hit and miss, some N5 users have the issue some don't it looks to be related to Google account settings

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dumz1opCfuE&feature=youtu.be Try this ROM. Google Now runs fine.

Found a fix of sorts; set up a new Google account on my phone in addition to my normal account and signed in to Google now using that. I read somewhere that there may be a problem with certain Google accounts causing this

Google Play/ Play Store, Server Error !

Since updating from Market to Google Play Store, I have been having different issues with it.
There are alot of Force Closes, a lot of apps 'Are not avaialable on my country..." and what is mostly making me mad, is that it has stopped working since 2 days.
It shows 'Server Error |Retry|'
I have read a lot about this and it seems like Google has made it unavailable to some countries.
Some other usesrs of different phones, have already fixed the issue by creating an app called 'MarketEnabler.apk" I tried installing that app on my Mini, but it doesnt install, reboots my phone in the process.
They seem to have another option for those with unrooted phones, which by connecting to a VPN server.
I also tried that in my brothers unrooted Mini, but it didnt work too.
I would like to know if others have this issue too and if they can help fixing this ..
Thanks for your time.
Google play have new security features and it checks the app compatibility in an advanced manner in newer version there are many compatibility check which will show most of apps unavailable so please downgrade the version of market
Try removing the update (in applications -> all -> market).
Or you could try wiping the application's data. Settings> applications> manage applications> google play store (under all)> clear data.

not everyone.. had 3.5.15 installed and had not a single server error..
I meant every one in my country.
In some forums they say it is happening in different countries, and that Google has disabled it for some time.

I got a phone a couple of days ago, and Market still not working.
So, it's a country thing ?
reinstall Gapps and wipe data
re-install Google play store then wipe data
Try changing your 'Local' settings to the default, load market, close it, set Local settings back and try again. (if the stock language is the one you're using, try switching to something else)
None worked.
Fortunately Google decided to fix this issue and everyone in my country has now a working Google Play.
Oh and by the way, it seems they have decided to once again change its name, now it is Google Play Shop

Google Hangouts

As you guys may know, Google has integrated all their communication systems into the new Google Hangouts and it is started to rolling out.
Just wanted to let all root users know that you don't need to wait to get it as for some your Google Talk isn't being updated to Hangouts currently. Like if you have Talk currently and you go to the playstore and search hangouts it will say you already have it installed and you are updated to Hangouts even though you only have talk.
If you use something like Titanium Backup to uninstall Talk from your device, you can then go on to the playstore and be able to download and install the new Hangouts app.
I don't know if this has already been mentioned as I haven't seen a thread but just wanted to let people on to this little tip if you want to get it right away!
EDIT: I'm thinking now I might have probably posted this in the Themes and Apps forum, but I wasn't exactly sure if this should have been posted there as this is just a general tip. If any Mod wants to move this please do!

Anyone get the 'couldn't sign in because couldn't reach google, try again' or whatever? I get it every time :-\

You don't need to uninstall Google talk... You can use the Web Google play to install hangouts and it will automatically replaces the old talk or obtain the apk file from the web and install it over the Google talk.

I agree. I really miss the who is online and who is offline thing. You can VAGUELY tell by the contacts picture being grayed out, but that sucks compared to a red dot. Hit the menu button in the hangout app and hit send feedback. Request for this feature to be put back in.

1.Use some app to take backup of Google Play Services (ES File Explorer can do it for you) and save the apk locally. This is recommended because after the next step you may not be able to connect and re-download the update over Mobile Data. It would work on WiFi however.
2.Go to Manage Apps > Google Play Services
3.Do "Uninstall" / "Uninstall Updates" for Google Play Services
4.Google Hangout will automatically ask you to Install or Update Google Play Services.
5. If you "Uninstalled Updates", then the app would update over Mobile Data when you click on update in Google Play. After this go to Step #8
6.If you "Uninstalled" the app completely, you wouldn't find it in Google Play. So install it from the backup created in Step #1.
7.Now go to Google Play and install any updates for Google Play Services.
8.Now open Google Hangout. It may still show you a connection issue for a couple for times.
9.Don't lose your heart. It should work after you try for a maximum of 1-2 times.

I haven't been a huge fan of hangouts either yet. I use textra. I have heard that there might be some nice things in the works for it though. I'm keeping tabs on it.

[Q](2.3.6 Stock) Can't update apps...

Hi,
I have a slight problem with my SG Ace S5830. As I got a new phone, I prepared Ace to be taken by my relative, who wants to try 'touch phones' as he calls smartphones.
But, on topic. Phone is 2 years old. Stock 2.3.6 version, Polish one, unbranded, updated using Samsung Kies. I have performed a Factory reset in order to wipe out my data. And here is where problem starts. After waking up, phone as clear, only stock things are on it. I tried to set it up, worked until I tried updating apps to newest available versions. Android Market (yes, Android Market, not Google Play Store), says to me, that I haven't installed any applications. It doesn't see the ones, that are installed allready. And also, he doesn't update himself.
Kies says, it's the newest software for this phone. I'm trying to set this phone up on a new Google account.
Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong or give me a solution?
Install the latest play store.apk (find it by Google search), sigin using you Google account. Open play store. Wait until accept & continue pop up appears on your screen ( might take some time). Select ok & you're good to go.

Worked for the store, thanks, but still - store doesn't see anything on phone, that came with stock 2.3.6. I need to manually search for things.
Maps, gmail, google search, etc., should be shown in the list of installed apps. If not, download something & it should show up. If not, then try to sync your device to Gmail. It should be fine then.

Yes, apps indeed showed, but after finding them manually and updating them manually as well.
Nice to see that your problem's solved.

Do you have your gear connected to bluetooth internet?
Nop, do I need it for the GE launcher?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
out of curiosity, why would you even want to try it? it's in early stages, with barely any customization. can't even change icon easily. i'd recommend sticking to verified apps like nova. works without issues.
For the voice search
no it is not working... i mean... launcher is working fine, but voice search like OK GOOGLE is not working... tired everything... only working solution for voice search is google voice search https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch
.... but you wont get voice feedback an no auto listening like in g.louncher (OK google..btw realy awesome featur)... if someone has working solution please share....

Xperia z 10.4.1.B.0.101 bug serious, please help me !

In the last software update does not work anymore voice recording, voice search does not work and the voice dictation of text messages. He tells me (you can not reach google at the moment) but it works for calls. I tried doing a reset by update service and PC Companion, but I have not solved. Can anyone help me?
Don't know what's happening precisely, taking a guess.
Update your apps on play store
Update google play services(hangout might be giving you a notification) or just search for it.
Use a voice recorder, check if it is recording properly.
Might be a hardware issue.

Thank you for having responded. I had already tried this solution but to no avail. I reinstall the firmware via flashtool is 10.4.B.0.569 I solved the problem. Surely it is a software problem. We look forward to improvements with 4.4.2 hoping for a complete resolution of errors.:good:
I updated my phone this weeked and the Voice search and dictation is working for me. Did it had to do something with the internet connectivity? Just guessing, coz I get the same error message when on slow GPRS connection.:crying:
