[Q] Google now wont work

so this has been bugging from the moment i got the phone. i cant make google now to work. ive searched all over the internet and no solution. here's what's happening.
everytime i open google now (long press home button/google apk from app drawer) it will just go straight to some screen that i think is the old google search
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
no cards no anything. If i press the mic, google now works properly and for example if I say weather it will show me the weather card (and if i restart the app the weather card wont be there) or if i say call/text someone it will work. what wont work is the reminders. if i try to set a reminder it will ask me to opt in to google now (even though i already have) and if i tap on opt in it will just take me to the same screen.
on google now settings there is no settings about cards or a way to turn off google now. i got only three options voice, phone search and privacy & accounts. ive done all the settings correct (ticked all the location options on latitude etc, ticked to search on google.com domain, chose us english as language and set home address) and still it wont work.
i already tried to force stop the app and clear cache and data, uninstalled updates and reinstalled, reboted phone and nothing seems to work.
the first time i opened google now it informed me about it and tapped on yes im in and after that it went to that wrong screen (with no cards, no google above the search bar etc).
does anyone have any idea how to fix it?

Don't be rude No need to shout
Edit -Also that isn't the old search. You've turned it off from when you first started it... Maybe you exitted it so you declined the terms... Now NSA can spy on you or what ever . Have fun

im not rude! it was a joke! :laugh:
and unfortunately i dont have these options in the settings. as i already said i only have the last three options (voice, phone search and privacy&accounts).
Edit- im pretty sure i turned it on on first use, but still if its not the old search and its just turned off i cant turn it back on, there isnt an option to do it. and when i talk to it and ask questions it talks back... doesnt that mean its on?

Also, some languages do not support Google Now. Changing your system language to English USA will get it to work. Don't ask me why. English Malaysia doesn't work but Singapore does...

Bluetooth Tether - for internet

Has anyone with a rooted (gear watch / note 3) investigated bluetooth tethering?
Bluetooth tethering

I was definately planning on trying this. There's a Bluetooth tether root app that I want to load into the gear and then enable Bluetooth tethering on the phone and hope it works. I just got my note 3 yesterday and haven't had a chance to test out my plan yet though

I tried with easy tether and easy tether laptop. Failed

I have tried every bluetooth app in the market, and several not on the market with their companion apps when applicable, but none have proven to work. it is because the device needs a whole new bluetooth stack. if SOMEONE managed to get Cyanogenmod or something on it then, it has a tethering capable bluetooth stack...

maybe google glass sdk has the answer... booth devices uses android, and booth have Bluetooth 4.0.... don't bother with Bluetooth tethering aps on g play... non of them work...

Have you tried moving the apk file to the /system/data folder instead like you need to do with Nova Launcher or the same thing happens when you add widgets - Nova crashes.

Yep, looks like it needs the TUN.KO module. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aed.tun.installer

Also, looks like the fact the it doesn't have a \system\lib\modules folder may be part of the reason it won't mount on a pc

READ ME READ ME READ MEREAD ME READ ME READ ME I was able to get it to work! All you need to do is go into the full settings app on your gear, tap Bluetooth, then tap the settings icon just to the right of your devices name, scroll down and check the box labelled Internet Access. And of course make sure Bluetooth tethering is enabled on your phone. On my note two it the setting was under settings/more networks/tethering/Bluetooth tethering. Only downside so far is that I can only get it to tether the wifi network. Can't get it to work on the cellular network. Not sure why. Hope this helped you guys!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!

Your phone or ROM doesn't seem like it supports (or you didn't turn it on) native Bluetooth tethering if it isn't showing up as an option on the Gear.

Wouldn't it be wiser to open a chat on some service that:
1. has a mobile app (so we can access it from phone too)
2. allows us to send links?
For example Google Hangouts or something like that.

The problem with mobile apps is the fact that you need to make an account, not many people like that. Second thing is, when flashing, having an app on the phone is pretty useless. Third problem is with things like hangouts, your personal profile is exposed and I'm sure not many people would like that ._.
Anyways, I have a surprise in store for you guys and the dev :3, will put up the link when it is done.

TMobile visual voicemail

Not sure if it was my imagination or not, but when I was first setting up the phone (tmo version) I noticed two visual voicemail apps open. Has this device got it's own visual voicemail?

Not your imagination, I had it also, that's until I reset my phone and then I lost the native visual voicemail accessible from the phone dialer.

Mine disappeared after a reset. The button now just dials the voicemail number.
Also, you might want to test that your voicemails will show up there, because mine never did.

It does show up for me. I actually deleted 3 before I took that screenshot. Some people also had that problem with the S8/S8+ but it works on my S8+ too
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

What is the verdict here? I have the T-Mobile Note 8 and when I use the dialer to access voicemail it just calls. When I go into settings there is a greyed out "Voicemail Settings" that I cannot access. All I'm looking for is integrated Visual Voicemail, I never liked having another app.

This is getting really weird. I deleted T Mobile visual voicemail but now I don't have any visual voicemail lol

I am in the same boat. Super frustrating. I'm on the phone with T-Mobile now and they have a Samsung Representative on the line. Waiting to see if they can give me any info. I'm going to try hard resetting the phone if they can't come up with a solution and just never set up T-Mobile VVM.
Edit* T-Mobile and Samsung were obviously no help whatsoever. I spent 30 minutes on the phone and they transferred me without asking to a "Samsung Support Specialist" who told me they transferred me to him for "further clarification on the issue" all he told me was "Samsung has nothing to do with voicemail that's a carrier issue" Thanks for wasting my time. So tired of this carrier specific BS.

Sorry to hear about that. Frustrating to say the least.

Memory is vague, but one of devices was setup with no sim card present during initial setup screens.

Ok well I had a reddit post as well and I've gotten a little closer but still have not figured it out.
"The following only works with Nova Launcher"
What a user recommend I do is press and hold on the home screen -> add a widget -> under Nova Launcher go to activities -> drag and drop activities on the home screen -> then search for visual voicemail at the bottom.
Now I have a shortcut on the home screen to the baked in Visual Voice Mail (I currently do not have the T-Mobile one installed and I just performed a hard reset) the issue is now when I go to settings in the integrated VVM is there is an option to enable VVM and it says "Select a Line" and there is no number to select. I'll upload the photos.

I replied to another user right below yours. It does appear it's baked in. There's a way with Nova Launcher to create a shortcut for it. My issue is I still cannot get it working.

You also have to enable multi Line settings on the phone, that will get it working.

I actually figured it out Saturday night but thanks. The trick was to enable digits via the web and select the unlock option for my line. Then I was able to get the multi line option working. After setting it up, I was able to sign out of multi line and still receive native vvm. (I signed out due to it showing multi line options everywhere.)
So to everyone who hates seeing multi line options everywhere, you can sign out after setup. What really bugged me about it was in messages with my wife, it listed her device model which took up a line for each message in our thread. Signing out of multi line fixed it for me.

Use phone diealer when AA connected

Is it possible to use your phone dialer (using the phone itself) while AA is connected? I have alot of contact shortcuts on my screen for direct dial, but my Mate 20 pro dosnt let me use my phone for making calls while it ist connected to Audi MMI via Android Auto. Like it is blocking the dialer app.
It takes me 1 sek. to make a call when I'm using my phone screen to do this, but when I use cars screen to make a call in AA, it takes ages. And I'm faaaar more distracted from the road then when I'm searching contact on my cars display. So please any advice how to do this?

Did you try to disable "Lock phone while driving" in AA settings?

Latest AA is 5.1.5006, but i don't think this is your problem. I have the same AA version as you, and the setting works on Note 10+. It is probably related to your phone.

Yes, it is disabled. Could it be a bug in AA? I have version 5.0.500224.

You could still try to Enable/Disable the setting. Sometimes it helps.

Hm... I'll try to download google phone (or some other dialer app) and give it a try. It could be a problem in Huaweis dialer app then. Not happy with it anyway. Samsung has the bes dialer app there is, exactly what I need. Tried to find some port for my Mate 20 pro, but no luck...

I don't think your problem is related to your phone dialer, as I understood, you can't reach your phone's screen during driving with AA in service. Are you able to get to other apps during driving? Usually this is forbidden for safety reasons. I'm even astonished that there is such a setting in AA, but probably this is provided for the case when the passenger is using the phone.

Well I tried using Viber to place a call, and it kind of worked (call was placed, but active call wasnt shown on my screen), so I hat to close Viber from (swipe it from recent apps) to end the call. Other thing I tried is google maps and that also doesnt want to open. Just like the dialer.
Screen itself works on the phone, but seems the apps dont. At least those that are also awailable on AA. I'll try your suggestion to en/disable lock phone option.
For me it is far les risky to tape once on my phone for something I need, like copyng a phone number, direkt dial etc., then to try to find a way to do that on my car screen or to disconnect the USB cable each time...

One more suggestion/question: why don't you try to use voice command to dial numbers? The process is not so fast, especially if there is more than one number defined for each of the contacts you need to call, but it works fine. Just say "Call nnnnn (name of contact as saved in your contacts)". You could make new contacts with only nicknames and one single phone number for all the contacts you need to call during driving, in order to shorten the voice dialing process.

Problem is that I work alot with foregn customers, so it doesnt recognize a German or Croatian name. Also, when a client calls, they mostly have few numbers in their office so I get alot of calls from new numbers during a day. And that is my problem... Or my office sends me a mail that a customer called and I must call back on that and that number. It is impossible to use anything but the phone screen to do all that.

I see. In that case I think I can't help you further. I hope you'll find a solution finally, but before anything, be safe when driving and keep others on the road safe also.

I see you again with your "dialer issue" in separate thread here
I have two points:
- testing Google Maps as a app to be run when the phone is connected to Android Auto head unit is not good idea as this app is controlled via Google Services to be locked for AA only then
- your issue with dialer is probably related to Huawei dialer so try to use the Google Dialer. I know you tried with some dialer but remember that it should be patched. You can try to use one of these dialers:

Hope it helps. Good luck.

Yes, I'm looking for an answer since this way it is difficult to do my job. I do a lot from my car and I try to be efficient. I also save addresses in my google maps on the phone when I'm in office, but now I see when maps are in AA you have no option to see "labeled" things. You can search it by name and it will show, but that means I need to keep everything in my head. But when you save "Warehouse B+S Koblenz" and you have many similar names in your head, it isn't easy. Thank you very much for the dialers. Do you perhaps know if it is possible to port Samsungs Dialer to Huawei Mate 20 pro? I receive daily 20+ phonecalls from unknown numbers (clients) and samsungs dialer shows "contact history" when you receive a call (e.g. it shows a preview of a last message from that number or when was the last call made, all while your phone rings). And for me that was helpful since I knew if that number called me yesterday or 30 days ago. Also, Huawei only shows Country from where the number is coming from, Samsung showed a City name. End when I see Berlin or Frankfurt, I know which client it may be. But when I see "Germany" it doesn’t tell me anything

Sorry I know nothing about Samsung Dialer port project.
First of all try to overcome first basic obstacle (using phone dialer when the AA is connected). So, try to install the Google Dialer and check if it works for you. If you get the satisfactory result it will be a first step and then you can think about next level
