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?

I have a new silver C903 now, this for a while is the last of my phones I now have 3 mobiles I think its enough now. The phone is lovely much nicer than expected not bad build although very plasticy lovely screen & nice camera. The flip down camera cover is pretty robust. Will report more later as I just updated latest firmware although I have noticed the speed of the phone is fast I really like it . Here is a rough photo taken with it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI generally don't have trouble getting through a work day with my S6, but I do wonder whether the Android utilization is high. During a typical day (1 - 2 hours SOT, 14-15 hours off charger), I'm burning about 60%-70% of total battery, 30% of which is Android System (~22%) and Android Kernel (~8%). Google Play and other apps are all typically < 5%. Is this normal, or does this indicate that a factory reset might be a good idea? On previous phones I don't recall core Android being this high (usually <10%).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Just yesterday my phone has started to malfunction. A pop up window keeps appearing ''Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped''. I have to click it around 6 times before it stops popping up, this happens frequently every minute.
When I try to use my camera it says ''Unfortunately, Camera has stopped''. When go onto Settings, Half of the menus are unusable. If I click one that's ''broken'' It closes itself immediately.
The sub menus that do this are:
- Wi-Fi
- Bluetooth
- Data usage
- Home
- Display
- Sound & notification
- Storage
- Apps
- Tap & pay
- Security
- Accounts
- Language & input
- Date and time
- Accessability
- Printing
- About phone
My radio was not working, untill i disabled the 'ok google' trusted voice security feature.
why is it these two cant work together?
I'm running android version 5.1.1
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.
I did removing my account as well as factory reset but still it doesn't work...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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?
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.
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".
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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).

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo 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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedSo 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.

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOn my Nexus 5 the wireless charging and NFC suddenly stopped working.. Everything worked properly until yesterday but suddenly my NFC tags have not been recognized and i just tried my wireless charging pad and it is also not working..
I expect a hardware problem because all the nfc-based apps are working if nfc is turned on and aren't working if nfc is turned off.. Is it a problem with the NFC/wireless charging pad or with the pcb? I guess i have to replace one of the parts but which - is there any way to find out which one? When i lay it onto the wireless charger the indication led of the charger doesn't change the color and also doesn't seem to recognize the phone, so i guess it's the charging pad which is located in the backcover?
Everything else is working properly.. Is there anything i can do about it or do i have to change any component?
So about a week ago, a vertical strip of my digitizer stopped working, right through the "n" and "j" buttons on the keyboard. I looked into getting it replaced and was quoted around $150, which seems a bit steep for a phone I only plan on keeping until the N5 (2015) drops in a couple of months. Cut to this weekend and once or twice that portion of the digitizer started working again, but only for a few minutes at a time. So it looks like it may not be a hard failure. Could it just be a loose connector?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased the LG G3 on Fido, and a few days ago I started experiencing problems with all my google apps. It began when I went to download an app and there was no progress ( the bar would just move along and say 'downloading' but nothing would download), I tried updating an app, and the same thing happened. Now my gmail and google now won't work either as well as google play games. I've restarted the phone multiple times, even removed and re-added my google account. still no luck. I'm not up to factory resetting my phone as I have valuable text messages that I can't afford to lose.
View 4 Replies View RelatedJust got my first Android phone a few months ago; LG G3. Still learning... stumbled onto a web site of things you could use "OK Google" for. One of the sections was about funny things to do with OK Google. One was 'Make me a sandwich'.
So I tried it... "OK Google" I got the response (pulsing mic) and said "Make me a sandwich"; I got a voice response - 'poof, you're a sandwich'.
When I went to show my wife later that day, all that happens is I get a white bar at the top of the screen that displays 'make me a sandwich'.
Now, no matter what I try, "OK Google" will not respond audibly. This is unique to the OK Google functionality. Voice Command, Personal Assistant, Map Quest and other apps provide audible feedback.
Ever since I upgraded to this phone back in April, I have never gotten a travel card in Google now.
