Are any of you having issues with the Google Now search of installed applications? I have the checkbox checked in the Google Now settings (Settings -> Phone search -> Apps- Names of installed applications), but sometimes this just stops working until I go into the settings again to uncheck and check it.
This also happens with my Contacts

Yes! This just started for me a couple days ago. The only thing that setting you mentioned above does for me now is search THROUGH installed apps for hits, but no longer brings up the app itself. Unfortunately your fix of checking and unchecking doesn't seem to do the trick for me (I'm on a Note 2).
For anyone who's not familiar with this behavior, it's a really nice feature of the main Google Now bar everyone should have on their home screen:
Punching in part of an app name in the Google Now bar pulls up hits including the app itself.
It's very convenient to for example turn on your phone, type in "Scan", and get as the top hit the Genius Scan app for example (you might only remember the "Scan" part of the name of the app).
Or type in "Face" and the Facebook app shows up. (Partials work.)
It's very similar to the iOS left-swipe search, the Windows 7 Start button, and OSX Spotlight.
Hunting and pecking through the app list is for chumps.
After today's Google+ update patch, this issue is now resolved.
same problem here..

I really don't like the 7.0 version of Google Maps, so much so that I rooted my phone (HTC One) to install the 6.x version. I use the Navigation app all the time in my car. My problem is that no matter what I do, it keeps getting updated to the 7.x version every few days. I have it detached from the Market with TiBackup Pro, and turned off all Market updates for all apps on the phone. It doesn't matter, in a couple of days I'll jump into my car, hit the Navigation button from the Car menu screen and get "welcome to 7.0!". I can restore it from my backup in about 5 minutes, but who want to do that everytime I get in the car. Any ideas?

Playstore>settings>do not auto update, that's it.
Why did you go into so much trouble. I find 7.0 a major improvement. Anyways, just uncheck the auto update for Maps in the three dot menu

What can I say, but I (and lots of other) have a different opinion. But anyway, I don't see any auto update available. And it has been detached using TiBackup.

when you go in the playstore and you click inside of the Maps application,
if you hit the menu button next to the share button, make sure the "Auto update" box is also unchecked,
not just the one in play store settings. That's how I got my snapchat to stop updating.
Hope that helps!

Nope, when I do that, it goes to the same setttings page as the store, which is already set to 'do not update', nothing specifically for that application. I"m running 4.3, maybe that's different.

I had this issue with another app. The solution was to re-sign the app so that the Play store didn't recognize it. Check out this link and let us know if it works for you:

Hello
Before Nougat upgrade I could switch to other apps while using Android Auto on my Nexus 6P. Or maybe I only could do it when I still had my LG G4? Can't remember.
Yesterday I had started Android Auto and after that I was going to start an app that I use to listen to audiobooks. I could not do this, I could not get away from AA. So I ended up stopping Android Auto and just used Google Maps instead to navigate so I still could control my phone.
Does anyone know any trick to start other apps when AA is started?

That's how aa works on my z5 mm - exiting car mode (to interact on the phone) ends aa.
I can control certified apps from my head unit.
Yes, it is supposed to work like that. It's not exactly the way I like it but that't how it works. But there might be a way around it for you.
I use iCoyote (a radar app) on my phone and before I connect the phone to Android Auto, I start that app. When Android auto has completed the connection with the car, I am able to put the app back on screen using the status bar. Of course, this only works for apps that are visible in the status bar but I suspect that will be the case with your audiobook app.
A better solution for you however, is to switch to another audiobook app that supports Android Auto. I haven't tried one yet but there are plenty of audiobook apps available in the app store that have support for Android Auto so you won't need to control the app on your phone anymore.
I figured out a workaround. Open Now on Tap and do what you need to do from there.
(start it by long-pressing home button)

Smart Audiobook player supports aa. Its the one I use for books in my car..

Quite an old thread, but have you tried pressing the headphone button twice? Then I can switch to other apps.

I'm using the app Tiles to start app from quick settings now. Works great.

Does Tiles work with Android Auto, i.e. on the display of the head unit?

No, but it lets you start an app on your phone even though you're not supposed to be able to do that while using AA.
This sucks though, because if you have a passenger in the car it is of course OK do this, or if you have stopped the car.
On my S7E, I just tap the recent key, then the home key immediately afterwards to go back to Nova Launcher. I have to use that button sequence every time, but it works reliably.
I really hope they don't 'fix' this 'problem' when 7.x hits these phones. I find the verbal message narration to be quite unacceptable.
Luckily, I have a N7 in my daily driver, so this is mostly a moot point for me, but could be a concern when I get my model 3.
Hi guys,
I'm getting a problem related to the chinese variant. And it's really irritating, i hope you can help as this is really popular and discussed a lot.
-Google assistant won't stay the default assist app.
-Access with voice match is greyed out.
-when i make google the default assist app, google is greyed out as seen in the third screenshot.
-weirdly enough i don't have default assist app anywhere in settings, I can only access it from google (first screeshot)
I already have disabled breeno stuff and some chinese stuff except breeno space.
I tried some solutions online from deleting cache to re-installing google, but the issue is rom related.
What i haven't tried is unlocking bootloader and rooting then making the assistant a system app. So what I'm trying to say is did anyone have it working like a charm, and how??
Unfortunately that's what the rom does. The only way I had made it to work is using tasker..
My first approach was for event when the secure config was changed tasker will change it back to Google. But this doesn't seem to work all the time.
My second approach was to create a shortcut that set the assistant and then launches the app. See screenshot.

Man this is irritating, using tasker for an assistant ?? this reminds me of an old tcl tv I have running android 4.4 and no matter what I do i can't get apps to function correctly on there
I tried making it a system app. Didnt work. still greyed out. I used android terminal App systemizer
It moved the whole folder to system/apps. I also tried system/priv-apps. But its weird that i can still uninstall google from the app drawer.

This is absolute bs, i thought root will make it work but now i don't even know why the cn rom is behaving like this.
I really hope someone got it working
I'm not sure if this changed with the Android 12 update or if I missed it happening before. Suddenly, the maps app is logged in and I cannot find any option to logout / use without an account. The normal account management does not seem to show any options to control which apps can use which accounts either. I see the "incognito" mode but I really want to force it to logout, like I would with Chrome. I don't want it to easily revert if I am letting someone use the maps app briefly.
i noticed that if i go to settings and scroll to bottom it has
sign out of maps.

Gmaps has been a mess for years. I never update them from the factory load on my N10+, same for Gmail.
Android 11/12... yeah they broke those too, bad.
Best thing to do is not let others use your phone.
It will save you grief in the long run... or share everything.
Thanks, I found that logout option after disabling incognito mode again. But, it looks like it is just as easy to log back in as to disable incognito with a couple clicks. So I also see the point that it's really not setup for easy sharing/lending...
