Jason Farrell • 10 years ago

He probably works for a living - that's what's up with his nail.

Glad I didn't click on it.

Chris Lachance • 10 years ago

I had this same problem. I spent hours trying to fix it the problem. The problem actually lives in permissions. Go to Google Dashboard ben revoked duplicate permissions power cycle your phone and resync. Your welcome!

If anything this shows that staged roll outs are a good thing even if they are annoying.

Just cancel all Authorization here : https://security.google.com...

THIS is the correct solution. This, right here. See more here: http://forum.xda-developers...

I helped a friend of mind fix this a couple of days ago at http://www.atmasphere.net/a....

Matt Thompson • 10 years ago

This did not work for me.

This has to be the worst Android OS update yet.

u_must_heart_the_g • 10 years ago

Don't say that around here.
The zombies around here get mad if you complain when there's good reason to complain about Googles failings.

Melanie Zammit • 10 years ago

This is what worked for me (without factory reset or root):

1. Turn on Developer Options: Settings > About Phone > tap 'Build Number' several times until you are notified that you are a developer

2. Allow Mock Locations: Settings > Developer Options > check 'Allow mock locations'

3. Download and install 'Fake GPS location' from Google Play

4. Set a fake location to somewhere where Google Now is enabled (ex. London): open 'Fake GPS' > click on the search button > type the location > click OK > click 'Set location'

5. Make sure that the fake location is started when the device is switched on: open 'Fake GPS' > go to settings > check 'Start on boot'

6. Switch off your phone

7. Take out your SIM

8. Switch on your phone

9. Deactivate Android Device Manager: Google Settings > Android Device Manager > uncheck both options

10. Disable Google Play Services: Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Services > Disable

11. Disconnect your account: Settings > Google (under subtitle 'Accounts') > Search > Accounts & Privacy > Google Account > Sign out

12. Connect your account: Settings > Google (under subtitle 'Accounts') > Search > Accounts & Privacy > Google Account > click on your email address

13. Accept Google Now: (if not asked automatically) Settings > Google (under subtitle 'Accounts') > Search > turn on Google Now

14. Enable Google Play Services: Settings > Apps > Disbaled > Google Play Services > Enable

15. Stop fake GPS: open 'Fake GPS' > click 'Stop'

16. Uninstall 'Fake GPS' if you want

17. Activate Android Device Manager: Google Settings > Android Device Manager > check both options

18. Switch off your phone

19. Put your SIM in

20. Switch on your phone

PS: If at step 12. you get Network Error you could try clearing the data of the search app and clearing any unnecessary permissions from the Google Dashoard https://www.google.com/sett... and then try again

Minor bug in Launcher2 that came with KitKat: (not on Nexus 5)

Flick to remove icon causes strange behavior: https://code.google.com/p/a...

Dragonscourgex • 10 years ago

I installed the update on my Galaxy Note 10.1 last night. Google Now will no longer open up and just crashes right off the back. I reported it and I didn't update on my phone yet.

Jess Newcomb • 10 years ago

Dragonscourgex this is what I am afraid of. My nexus 10 has not updated to KitKat yet and I am afraid when it does now functionality will go away. Googles only answer so far is to send a new phone. But since this is not the cause i really don't want to keep messing with new phones. I guess it is to just keep me busy.

MobilegamerfanChicago • 10 years ago

Yea mines just did it as well. Couldn't even search anything thru the search bar. Google now and OK Google wasn't working. Turned phone off n on and it started back working.

PrDawg • 10 years ago

Only thing I am seeing is the continuous search is again disabled. Looking into that now. May have to find the old hack. On rooted and unlocked Verizon S3.

Sir Charles • 10 years ago

Still is working fine the little I use it. But since Google f'd up the way the whole home screen works and purposing integrating the Google Now on the left side, they deserve this. It was great until they f'd up the left Home instead of how it was.....

Jmill75 • 10 years ago

Because they force you to use there launcher huh.....jeesh

Sihawk • 10 years ago

You can use any launcher you want.

rutvik patel • 9 years ago

i backuped my google search data with titanium backup and restore them on any new rom and that pretty much solves the problem

Raymond • 10 years ago

I had this problem , then I was able to fix it .. I first took my sim card out . 'don't let the phone restart when you do' just click on an area of the screen away from the restart option .. go to 'backup & reset' and remove all the 'ticks' for backup data and automatic restore,then do factory data reset ... when the phone is booting back up don't connect to any WiFi or your Gmail accounts just let it load on it's on , when its finish load add a WiFi connect first ,then go back to the home screen and hold down for 'Widgets' and select the goggle now widget .. it should ask you for a Google account to work , then add your Google account , it should then bring up the option to to use Google now,should work after that, then you can put back in your sim card.

Jess Newcomb • 10 years ago

Okay I have it working now. The solution seemed to be related to my people details syncing. I noticed it would fail in this account most of the time so I decided to go into my app drawer and open the people app. First I went through and deleted any and all duplicates then proceeded to remove any contact I felt I did not need after removing a bunch of contacts I signed out of my account then signed back in. Voila the google now option was there and all is working now. Not sure if it was the duplicates confusing it or if there is a hard number on how many contacts you can have with the nexus 5

Jonathan Mallett • 10 years ago

This didn't work for me unfortunately. It's a shame it seems like the only sure way to get it to work is to root and void the warranty :(

Jaroslav Klapálek • 10 years ago

I have this problem as well on my Nexus 7 II + mobile websites are broken. But I was able to fix Google Now. If you can, try to switch your hotspot to WPA Mixed mode. It worked for me.

Lukas Laske • 10 years ago

Sadly, I can confirm that it is not only the software that sucks... I've had already two replacement phones because one device had a broken vibration motor and the other one had a defective microphone. Seems like they are having some issues with the build quality of this phone at LG. I'd recommend all of you who is willing to buy that phone to wait at least till January for revised batches!!!

Oh and for everybody here I am a left handed carpenter and have hit that thumb multiple times with my hammer that is where the nail comes from., :)
