After the last at&t update my phone has been acting a little weird. One big thing that's really bothering me is that ok Google from any screen suddenly stopped working. I use this in my car all the time and it's an important feature of any phone for me so this it's unacceptable.
What happen is I have to actually open Google now for it to turn on, then it will work from any screen as it's supposed to. But as soon as my screen locks, it breaks. I unlock my screen and it's gone. It does not come back until I open Google now again. Once or twice it came back on its own after a long tone but it doesn't seem to do that anymore at all.
"Okay Google" not working from locked screen or timed out dark screen. I noticed this befoer the update that it stopped and didn't work after update either.Under Language and Input >Voice Input>Enhanced Google Service>OK Google detection>... I have all 3 options on - 'from google app', 'from any screen', 'Personal results'
Is it possible to wipe date/factory reset the N5 if the screen only barely lights up a dull grey? I got a replacement but I have to send this one back and cant reset it the normal way.
My OK Google has stopped responding when the screen is locked. If I say OK Google I get the beep I ask a question ex, "What is the current temperature" it beeps again but will not answer until I unlock the screen. I has worked great previously but for some reason it no longer will give me an answer until I unlock the screen.
I am rooted , Franco kernel r35 , and gravity box installed..Let's say after I restart the nexus , I can go through a couple of hours browsing Google chrome fine , then randomly the back button doesn't work along with the keyboard not popping up?Is it the actual nexus phone problem or is it the kernel..
I installed a Screen Off app to save wear and tear on my power button. However, I discovered this app prevents Smart Lock from working. I set Pattern Lock with a Bluetooth device Smart Lock. When I use the Screen Off app the Lock Screen appears when I hit the power button. When I use the power button to turn off then Smart Lock works and it recognizes my Bluetooth device and skips the Pattern Lock screen.
Any way I can get a Screen Off app that allows Smart Lock to work as it should?
I am trying to share my android screen onto a remote PC... Teamviewer Quick Support is not working... however, I have seen videos where it does work [Remote control plugin does not install -- Teamviewer addon for LG did install]. I have a Nexus 5, running CM 12.1 nightly. The screencast icon appears in the notification bar,... i have enabled screencast over wifi setting.
I have a really weird problem that randomly started and just keeps getting weirder and more annoying. I was watching YouTube via the app on a very unreliable WiFi connection, and received a number of "playback error, tap to retry" messages (pretty normal on this particular network) so I didn't think much of it. When I got home, however, the messages and errors continued, so I cleared YouTube's cache, which did nothing. I then cleared data, it asked me to sign into Google again, and it did, but the errors continued. I then noticed in my notifications that I had some app updates available from the play store, and that's when the problem got stupid.
Play store hung on the spinny loading circle, so I cleared its cache and data and then it hung on the first update. Soooo, I cleared cache, then data, on Google play services. Now, not a single damn Google app does anything. Google play music shows my two google accounts to set up with, clicking either of them does nothing. YouTube plays videos linked from other apps, but can't search or browse, just has a the red nav bar and blank white space with the spinny. Play store doesn't work. Inbox doesn't refresh, you get the idea. And somehow, Facebook started not connecting at the same time as everything else. Not sure if its related or not, but it sure is frustrating. Chrome works fine. Other apps that connect to the internet work fine. Just google apps and Facebook.
On most recent version of screwd with tk gapps and I can't get wallet to load. It hangs up on the splash screen and never moves. Have tried clearing cache and data, uninstalled and reinstalled, nothing works.
I was sitting down with my nexus on my leg with about 40% battery left when it suddenly turned off and then flicked to the google startup page before going blank. After attempting to turn it on again (to no avail), I resorted to plugging it in, which resulted in the phone looping on the google page then vibrating before repeating. I tried to get it into the bootloader menu, but it appeared and then reverted to the google page after the phone vibrated.
I've tried looking up solutions, but the only plausible situation for me seems to be returning it so the warranty can take over. The only hitch with that being that the bootloader is unlocked (not rooted, just the bootloader). I really am stuck, and do not know what to do
I just flashed the nexus 5 official image for android 6.0; I have used adb and fastboot and I flashed everything but the userdata.img (as I did with all previous updates). Everything looks fine with the exception of google now on tap: if I long press the home "button" it only takes me to the regular google now page.
The google app is version 5.3 (which is supposed to enable on tap), I tried both google now launcher and nova, but the result is always the same, standard google now page with no content relevant to the page/app I was in. Is it expected ? do i have to enable it somehow?
I am inordinately happy about this, but also annoyed that I didn't know about it earlier. It was in the Google Settings app rather than the phone's settings, so I missed it! This was the one feature I envied on the Moto X and I had it all this time!
I switched from Samsung. There is a function with Samsung customized version of Android that when I play video full screen and hit on/off button, the screen is locked but video keeps playing. That is a really useful function.
So one thing I do miss from my Note 4 was the ability to clip screenshots. You could just take out the S Pen and it would take a screenshot and you could crop it and draw on it, etc.
Then you could easily share it and it didn't save it to your device.
Back when I had the LG G2 it had similar functionality, but it was via a built in app that was easily accessed from the Notification tray.
Is there a Play Store app that would offer similar functionality. Ideally I could swipe down on the screen, and access an app. The app then would allow me to crop or draw on the pic and send it.
When I look for them in the Play Store they seem to be more focused on screen recording or something.
I have an lg g3 phone and when i am trying to make a handsfree call using my jabra bluetooth the bluetooth says say call followed by a name or number....when i say call so&so nothing happens. When i check my phone a little box is on screen saying "unfortunatly google app has stopped working".
I wanted to free up some space on my device (LG G3). I didn't want Google on my phone so not knowing I deleted everything to do with Google. Well the next time I tried to go onto the google playstore or youtube (app)it says its not supported by my device but it is supposed to be on my device because it was on my device earlier. I deleted all the google apps and other things of google with ROM FILE MANAGER and I didnt backup my device. I tried factory reseting my phone. But when I did that the app google or google playstore is not showing up, and when I try to update google it gives me the same message its not supported on your device(google).
im having problems with GPS, i have tried different gps/maps apps, it just wont figure out my location. im trying the option "Device Only" "use GPS to determine your location".i have also tried the option, "use wifi, gps, and mobile networks", still no change.
So I received a replacement Nexus 5 from Google and already installed 5.0 lollipop. However, the tap and go feature is not transferring any of apps from the old nexus 5 to the replacement phone. It only transfers my contacts. I was reading around and realized that my back up was turned off. Yesterday, I turned on "back up my data" and "automatic restore" under settings->Backup & reset. However, today when I tried to use tap and go feature, my apps still did not transfer over.
So my friend has an HTC phone and can ask 'Ok Google' - "What will the weather be like tomorrow"... to which google responds with voice "Tomorrow forecast is ...etc..."On my Sony Z3... I ask what the weather will be like ... to which 'Ok Google' simply googles for weather and shows me the google results on screen!A few other commands seem to do the same and just google for internet results... how can I fix this?
So I am trying to USB tether right? but, for some reason it won't even setup a connection and when I enabled Dedug mode for USB that seemed to get it working. Honestly I don't want to do it that way. I pay for my tethering plan unlike most people on here with T-Mobile.
What I am trying to say is that out the box USB tethering does not work.
Now with Debug enabled I can do it, but when debug is enabled my damn Win 8.1 64 bit flips out! Seriously I don't know what the hell this damn phone is doing to my computer but it forces my CPU to go up to 100% usage!!
I have a Verizon HTC One M8. The phone is great, but Google Hangouts rarely sends or receives MMS messages. Most of the time, it fails to send an MMS message, but when it does, it usually takes over 20 minutes.
The stock messaging app works fine and has no issues sending or receiving MMS instantly. However, I prefer Google Hangouts.
Also, I am not asking for solutions such as shutting off wifi or anything involving wifi calling being shut off because I don't have to do that with the stock messaging app and I do not plan to compromise by disabling another important feature in my phone.
Unless my WiFi is connected my Browser will not work with the 4g LTE. I don't know if its my APN settings or if something else is wrong. I'm on Straight Talk with an AT&T Sim card.
Got problems with the Google Authenticator app not working on the G3? When trying to set up the app, it fails with stating "Unfortunately, Authenticator has stopped." And that's it, nothing else happens. Are the 3rd part apps available on the Play Store safe/secure to use for this purpose?
So about a week ago my WiFi just wouldn't work anymore. When I try to turn it on, it stays stuck at "Turning WiFi on". I think I've tried almost anything to make it work again. I've reflashed the factory image 3 time (Android 6.0), I've tried downgrading to Lollipop 5.1.1 but it still wouldn't work. I took it to a GSM Service and they said that there is no hardware problem.
I got my Xperia Z2 today, and I found that teh Google Now voice option doesn"t work, It looks like it's recording, even when there's no sound at all. It completely ignores me when I speak. There is no relation to my speech and the red indicator flashing. Then it goes back to "Say "Ok Google" or tap mic". In fact other voice functions such as in the google play store, or google maps, or google voice typing don't work and exhibit the same bizarre behavior. Just to find out, I tried voice functions on a third party keyboard app (Swype) which doesn't seem to work too.
I have done a factory reset, updated to the latest firmware, updated the apps, but still the problem persists. I suspect the hardware is to blame, not the software.
