Motorola Assist Apps Missing - Moto X Q&A

Is anybody else having issues getting moto assist to work? Specifically while driving?
I have the driving feature set to talk to me and resume music play when my device detects that I am driving, however it doesn't look like this is working for me. The meetings feature is working fine, but even though my X displays the driving notification in the status bar, it doesn't read texts or announce who is calling or texting me.
I've looked for solutions to this issue on the mighty internet and found that there are others with similar problems and all they had to do was reset Moto Assist by clearing data and cache for the following apps:
Motorola Assist
Motorola Assist Framework
Motorola Assist Engine
Motorola Assist Talk To Me
Here is the issue for me. My apps list only shows the first two apps in that list. It appears that Motorola Assist Engine and Talk To Me are missing from my device (which would explain why I'm having issues). The problem is I don't know how to get these apps.
I have tried uninstalling updates for Motorola Assist and updating it again. I also tried a factory reset. Neither of these solutions brought these missing apps to my device and clearing data and cache for the apps that I do have doesn't solve the issue. I am on android 4.4. I updated my phone as soon as I got it so I don't know if this was broken by the update or not.
Does anybody else have this issue? Anybody here have an idea how I can fix this?
It looks like this guy over at the moto forums is having the same issue with no luck: https://forums.motorola.com/posts/e1788e31bf

Just took a drive and its working here... and I don't have those other two binaries.

I don't have the other two either and moto assist works fine.

News & Weather Widget Unable to Connect

Hi,
I recently got AT&T Nexus one and is on unrooted stock firmware.
I am getting 'Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later.' with a 'Retry now' button.
The internet connection is working fine everywhere else. I can add apps from market, browse using browser, Beautiful widget work fine with weather taken from internet.
Any idea what could have been the issue?Since it is a builtin widget, cache cannot be cleared. Tried everything I can think of, like restarting phone, using 3G, WIFI, EDGE/GPRS connection etc. Still it is unable to connect.
Anyone else has similar issue?
Regards
HAX
I have similar issues. Sometimes I also get the 'Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later.' message but the bigger issue is that the widget force close every time when I try to scroll to Top Stories tab. I can see the headlines changing on my home menu and I can read the news from other tabs but Top Stories and Weather tabs cause force close. If the widget gets stuck to "Loading..." mode I just remove it and add it again to my home screen and the headlines are back.
This started when I updated the CM mod from 5.0.4.1-N1 to 5.0.7.1-N1. Now I'm running CM 5.0.8-T4 and the problem persists.
I have tried to clear the application cache, fix permissions, reinstall, clear cache and dalvic cache but no change. Any suggestions?
I just started getting this out of nowhere too.
after i installed beautiful widgets 2
Getting same thing. Outage? I just flashed to bugless beast .2 (froyo 2.2). Just started today!
Same here.... getting the msg "Sorry, unable to connect. Please try later"
Running Stock 2.1 update 1
I'm also experiencing the same problem. It just says 'sorry but cannot connect to network'. I haven't done any changes with my rom cm5.0.7.1 neither have I added any apps. Wondering if this could be Google server problem any ideas?
Same problem here. Just started yesterday. Unrooted running 2.2. This is a bummer I used this widget pretty frequently. Has anyone found a solution yet?
same problem here running cm t5
same here
Same here, must be a server issue- panic over lol

look in settings.
if you look in the setting for the news it should have erased your topic selections
"Sorry network error. Please try again later."
I downgraded to eclair on a t-mobile unrooted nexus one for unrelated issues and still had the error, now I'm back on 2.2 FRF50 unrooted and still experiencing the issue. It must be a server issue at google.
Same problems here also; I am on AT&T. Does this app use Google's servers? Just wondering.

I am having the issue with 2.1 on AT&T Nexus one.
I dont have Beautiful widgets. So I dont think that is causing the issue.
I tried it on Wifi too and still have the issue. So could not be an issue with any blocked ports.
It loads the terms of service of google news under settings. So,it is strange why its not loading news.
Hope Someone has a solution.
Started having similar issues today, and can't even get it to refresh
A friend of mine has a nexus one as well so I asked him to load the widget and his works fine. Makes me think its not a server issue.
Seems a bunch of google services are acting up. Android development site has missing videos.
*sniff* *sniff*
Smells like an incoming update.
I miss this app =(
My credit cards don't accept overseas apps (beautiful widgets) so i'm hoping this comes back soon.
you sure
are you guys sure cuz i just tired the news and weather app and widget. n it worked fine. im on 2.2 on nexus one.
but this did happen to me once. i remembered that i had my gps turned off.
i think it was in setting --> location & security.
i hope that helps.

A few issues with my new Moto X

I just got the Moto X and I'm having a few issues that I was hoping you fine folks might be able to shed some light on.
First off: Moto Connect. I have the extension installed in the newest version of Chrome on my iMac and my account is linked. When I get a new text, I do not get a popup on my computer. I have verified that popups are on. If I open the extension, the texts update, but they do not appear to be in real time. Anyone else experience this?
My second issue was with Migrate. Coming from an LG G2, when I ran migrate, it imported everything except for my camera roll, which was where most of my pictures were on the G2. I'm over it now, but just wondering what went wrong with the migration or if anyone else has experienced this when migrating from other phones.
Thanks!
Edit: Connect seems to be more or less working now. Not sure what was going on. I am still curious to see if anyone else who migrated experienced the same thing as myself, though. Did your camera rolls import?

Assist doesn't mute the phone (LOLLIPOP)

Hello, is there someone who have troubles with "good night" command or assist "sleeping" mode?
Mine says it's silenced, but it keeps receiving notifications, seems like a conflict with lollipop priorities.
Just upgraded and noticed this, anyone has any idea on a fix? It's possible to accomplish something like this enabling priority notifications, but I would like to use Moto's implementation.
Sadly moto is just providing access to priority mode. I agree assist kinda lost its value without a mute setting

Exact same thing happened to me. But I founded a solution. I went to Settings--Storage and in there you will see Cache Memory you push it and whipe cache... that worked for me

Text notifications

Hi. I posted briefly before about a problem I was having. I have a nexus 6p and a vw 2016 head unit. Everything works really well & connects instantly etc except: I am not getting any notification sound for incoming text or hangouts messages. This is not very safe as you have to keep looking at the screen to make sure you haven't missed anything important. The strange thing is that this corrected itself on a recent journey and it was bleeping incoming messages just fine. But now it's gone back to complete silence again?! I'm not aware of having changed anything in set up. Is there anything I could have missed in terms of settings?
Any thoughts or experiences welcome.
Thanks.

You're not alone. I have found a post somewhere were someone was experiencing the same issue. I also have this issue. No matter what application, there is no notification sound. I think they've changed something in the code that doesn't allow the notifications to gain audio focus, therefore it doesn't play notification sounds. I made a work around using tasker. It seems when I use tasker and use the "say" command (for TTS) and have it set to respect audio focus, then it will interrupt (audio ducking) the audio on the stereo and say whatever I need it to say. I use Autonotification and a few other things to trigger the TTS. For example, if I get a telegram message it will say "New Telegram Message".

Ok. Thanks for your thoughts on this. The thing I find quite strange too, is that the time it was functioning correctly, was definately since the last AA update version. End of March I believe. Now it no longer functions in my case and to my knowledge there have been no software updates to either AA or the phone itself since then to change anything . Stranger and stranger!
Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I'm having exactly this issue on a Nexus 5x connecting to a Kia Niro stock Android Auto head unit.
When connected, new messages received in Google Messenger and WhatsApp generate notification cards on the head unit and are read when tapping the card. However no notification tone is generated when the message is received.
Are you guys still having the same issue? Or did you find a resolution..

Hi. In my experience, I don't think there are any solutions as such. There are many "solutions" talked about on forums and it seems some of them work for some & not others and even amongst those that they work for, they may not work all the time. Therefore they can hardly be called a solution really. My experience of this is that it seems to depend on the software of the phone rather than just the AA app. By that I mean that after I upgraded my Nexus 6p from android 6 to android 7, performance on android auto in the car has been much more reliable. Pretty much 100% as it should work in fact.

Thanks for responding - I expected as much, just wanted to avoid a DenverCoder9 scenario.
I've implemented a workaround for now using existing an existing Tasker + OutLoud profile to announce the message arrival over the media connection. Hopefully it'll simply start working one day..
And my notifications on a vw at are too loud. Try to increase the volume while you have a notification playing
I, too was having this issue and I think I have it solved, at least for my situation. Once I turned off AT&T's Advanced Messaging, I began to receive all my text notifications again. I know this solution might not apply to everyone but I know other carriers have similar features that may also cause issues.

Updating android wear 2.0 apps

I have apps that i am trying to install from the watch and others that I would like to update and its stuck on "pending" with no download. Has anyone experienced this on their Gwatch R?
Yes. Had this problem since the 2.0 update weeks ago. I even factory reset it. Problem remains. I thought I could just uninstall then reinstall an app that refused to download it's update. Nope. Now the app won't reinstall. Very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated!
Experiencing this too. I resetted it once, then it started again. Found a few threads online of GWR owners with the same issue, someone solved it by disabling "ask for PIN" on the watch and "ask for password/fingerprint" on the phone, someone didn't.
I updated some apk (GPS, Android Wear, etc...) by downloading from apkmirror and installing them through adb, but this didn't fix the problem either. In logcat I can see some issues with an intent referring to the Play Store and one with some directories not being read.
This is so annoying. Is this an LG or Google issue? How do we petition help and they actually listen to us?
Me too!
I have this issue too!
I really hope a fix comes available soon!
Same issue here also GWR
Same here.. Any fix?
