It works

Thanks a lot for the info, I followed it exactly as you indicated and it works awesomely fine. Google Now rocks, it's very easy to use and it understands my words, most of the options work pretty well, but I was testing S-Voice and it beated Google Now when we talk about handling local applications, it understands much better what I want. Let's say I want to listen to an album that I have stored in my phone, S-Voice will play the entire album or artist, whatever I choose, however, if I give the same commands to Google Now, it only plays one song (randomly or the first one of the list, but I wouldn´t be able to say).

Phone model: Samsung Galaxy S3

Hey, you're rigth it stops at the player, but it is because it gives you more options, just tap the player button and other apps will be displayed such as youtube and more. It would depend of the apps you have installed.

Hello guys I'm having hard time to figure out how to Activate Offline Speech to Text feature.. I'm using AOKP by Vj jb 4.2.2(3 April 2013) on my HTC desire..

I installed English language settings from play store too..but when I turn off my mobile network Speech to text won't work (in messages/texting).

Can someone help me with this.. And there is no option of Download offline voice recognition under Settings in Voice..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
The option to download offline language pack is in Google search app

Google voice is only a VoIP service for USA at the moment

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
It would appear i have the same issue if I ask it for the weather. The actual default weather card that shows when you load Now gives keep the right location..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sellhimechoes:
I know these wrinkles will be ironed out but it's still really flakey for me. I've followed the advice here but trying to check how tall Kobe Bryant or the Eiffel tower results in normal search results, so does location and heaps of other expected results.

The fact it thinks im in Washington as well is a bit awkward.

...would be good.... If it worked!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Dont forget they did say it's US only and for developers at IO only. It is not for general consumption
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
How can I get this to say "work" instead as an address? I added it to my places in the desktop maps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Click the settings dots and rename
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
This is all I get.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Odd pressing the 3 dots should give you 2 options. Settings and edit.

It's in the edit one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
Only get the settings option. Not a big deal though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chriscardinal:
Move to Washington? :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Based on what I seen, the different JB images and ROMs people have been flashing have bits and pieces missing/extra compared to other images/ROMs. Best to wait for the official version, it might fix your problem (or flash a different ROM :D )
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshua.justice:
Google Now just FC for me. Any idea how to fix this or why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
All is well in Jelly Bean land. Problem fixed itself :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mariachi202:
Is there a way to fix this?

I tried several different DPI, it doesn't help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Set it back to default DPI
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylose:
Thanks. I was getting the cards but there were no images on them until I choose "search on google.com"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
is there a list of the voice commands somewhere? lol, i haven't used voice search since 2.3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
10 char
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tixed:
What about offline text recognition? I can search with voice when connected to wifi, but when I'm not it gives me this:

Or that is expected behavior and offline voice search is very limited?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
Getting the same problem with the washington DC weather and time etc...

I got it to work in ontario but before it used to say the weather in Toronto specifically.

no idea what I changed :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
System language.

Once the source it out I'm sure it'll get sorted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
There is no "offline voice search" in the same way there is no "offline Google.com search" You can't Google something when you're not connected to the internet.

You can still issue voice commands (call/send text/email/etc.) offline
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tixed:
Well yeah I know that. Just thought it at least could search for app on my phone and launch it, but look like it can't do that even online.

Can't email while offline also, I've tried. And can't set alarm clock with voice command, for example - thought it should be available offline.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Strange, I've done every voice command you mentioned offline
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
You have to download the offline content
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fdm91xda:
thanks buddy, but i've a problem. If i say "How tall is Barack Obama" the phone answers with the method of the Knowledge Graph, but if i ask Who is Barack Obama, it starts a search on Google o.O don't know why... same thing for other questions, like "How tall is Angela Merkel", and for example i tried it several times but it won't accept the word "Verizon"... what is the exact pronunciation for "Verizon" in english? It understands it like "every states" or "vertical" or "europe union" (??????) xD sorry for my really bad language :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rookie8155:
I use BlueAnt S4 in my car and pair it with my Galaxy Nexus. It used to work flawlessly on ICS ut now on Jelly Beans, it is notregnizing my words properly. If I say call my home, it picks up some other names in the address book. It is very frustrating. Any advice will be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
+1 I would like to know this too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Probably does. But turning latitude on doesn't even use that much battery. Latitude also calculates location from GPRS cells and WiFi (you dont even need to connect)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
i can't get the voice actions to work

if i say, "send mail" it just Google's it.

do i need to enable something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
did you uncheck the "offensive words" thing...verizon is DEFENITELY an offensive word :silly: . I actually just say "voh-rai-son" and it works, try the "customise voice search" option too, try toggling it to on/off whichever and see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Please refer. It's "Send email"

Also, Verizon sounds like Horizon, except with "Ver"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
anyone have a problem with voice commands via bluetooth?

when i try to use BT in my car it will just sit at recognizing. if i clear data, then reconfigure and use BT it will work, but then using it with no bluetooth will just sit on recognizing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
same outcome, can't get any of them to work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] benjihana:
So, for whatever reason, the "speak Google to search" is no longer there. Completely gone. Everything else is functioning though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Have you tried setting it to "use local domain" and setting it to google.com? Also are you set to (US) English?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theshakyone:
Loving the new features. I'm in the UK. After following the guide on page 1 voice actions are working well, but I no longer have cards or the 3 dots to access the card options / show example cards. Putting settings back to UK makes them appear again. Anyone else seen this, or know how to fix it?

Also does anyone know what the command is to set calender appointments. I have tried the obvious, but the closest I get is note to self.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thelowend:
Hey does anyone know if putting cards in your notification bar is possible? Specifically I'd like my weather card to be there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaycarag:
I'm actually curious about this too. However, based on what I searched on the web, the cards have their own behavior to when and how they will show up on the notification bar. I'm still trying to look for ways on how the weather card will just stick to the notification area. I'll come back to you if I find out how. ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
mine stays on all the time

i only use 3 cards, weather, travel and next appointment

there is a setting under the weather card settings to keep it there all the time

---------- Post added at 08:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

has anyone tried bluetooth with voice commands? does it give you problems?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaycarag:
Yup, I toggled that option to have the weather card always show. It did show on the notification area before but, I swiped the card off from the notification area (just trying out different things) and I wasn't able to get it back there again. Hehe.

I haven't tried the using voice commands through bluetooth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellimistx99:
I get nothing besides weather :( No restaurants or travel or traffic :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
You have to enable local search.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thelowend:
Thanks man. I'll do the same. When Google Now started for the first time, I had weather and something else in the bar but I swiped them away...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaycarag:
I was able to find some useful info in the "Google Now" thread. This was posted by @craigbailey1986. I haven't tried it yet though. I'm charging my phone off right now (just to try something with the battery).

Google now

Settings

Google now

Top right toggle off sync

Toggle on sync

It will restart the entire Google now

EDIT: so it worked. however, if you click the weather card on the notification area, the card will disappear again. hehe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
You can also wait for the weather to change, the weather card will appear again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ves:
Try http://thenextweb.com/google/2012/0...-save-home-and-work-locations-in-google-maps/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Or just click the settings for the card and press rename.

If you say navigate me to work though, it just finds a local place called work and not what you called work..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jyconan:
When I search for something, it always redirects me to my browser, instead of within the Google search app, Weird.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Okaay:
All i had to do was switch to www.google.com for search. Now my images come up on cards for my searchs! Thanks buddy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrfantastic:
Weather issue??

When I ask what is the weather today it always brings up Washington D.C. but if i open google now it the first card shows the weather for my area. Any way to change this?

Figured it out, but then for searches you dont get images, might have to wait for the AOSP version to do that
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fiadliel:
Enabling Google Now for Google Apps domains

If you are in a Google Apps domain (rather than gmail.com/etc.), you will need to enable this feature as an administrator:

Google Apps Control Panel -> Settings -> Mobile -> Org Settings.

Click the checkbox beside "Enable Google Now." for the "organization" which should have access to the service.

(thanks to Rob Boek for pointing this out).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeoveu:
Swiping the weather notification off the notification bar doesn't bring it back up.

And I think the same goes for travelling.

Anyone managed to figure it out - except by turning Google Now off, then on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brosurreal:
When I attempt to open Google now I just get a network error and I've fully followed the tutorial. Doesn't change if I'm on WiFi or mobile network. It worked briefly after flashing but stopped shortly thereafter. For reference I live in Canada and I am on bigxies 4.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
does anyone know how to setup your home and work places so the travel card is correct? i tried following this guide:

http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-setup-configure-and-use-google-now-98749/

however, this step:

i can't find a location history in maps. i can enable the history, then i agree to the stuff, then it goes back to settings. when i go to manage places, it's blank.

is there some trick i'm missing here?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thas5:
It's on the top left where it says "Maps" on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arthur Hucksake:
This is very cool and I can see the potential in it, but i'm going to disable it until the UK gets full support soon. (I hope we do anyhow)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] svtfmook:
Awesome, thanks!

Now how do I configure a schedule so the cards know when I need to be at work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scoobdude:
You can either put it on your calender or use it daily so it knows your schedule after awhile
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Turn latitude on and let it track you, also make sure location services are enabled.

Once it figures out your usual 9-5 location it'll work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonameduck:
Strange, I've lost the option to say "Google" and then voice search. The option was there last night.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veloslave:
Is Google Now supposed to work with the Google calendar?

Tried new appointment, open calendar... even next appointment which is supposed be one of their stock commands and nothing is happening.

I have already gone through the setup as recommended.

Anybody using it or have any luck trying?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] UnknownFearNG:
If I have "Search on google.com" ticked, it always says my location is in Washington, D.C., but I'm in Toronto, ON. Only downside is, when it's not ticked, it doesn't display cards next to searches. Any help with this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marco_ch:
did that too. weather card will come back after a while.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Yeah not sure why. Think its to do with it being US only for now. Just say weather in Toronto and it'll work
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deanesn:
How did you get the sports card to show up. I have always say the team's name and it will tell the schedule or the game score it never shows up in cards even during games.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
All I did was search for the team a few times and it started showing up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iurylima:
does it work well outside US?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Yup, bit americanised in places but works fine

Does Google now send msg work with Google voice? Would love talk integration too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lexo:
Does not work well for me.

Cards work just fine, but if I set everything up in english (as stated in first post) it just does not understand me. Dont get me wrong, me english pronounciation is well, but it doesnt understand the names for example of my girlfriend. Google tried to ruin my relationship by sending "i love you" to severall other girls ;)

When switched to German it understands me perfect, but things like "schreibe eine sms an xy" what is "send an sms to" in German just trigger a web search. The same for mails .. thats annoying -.-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sg1969:
It should work. I didn't have Latitude enabled and I was still getting the traffic cards between work and home. It might just need a couple days to figure out when you're at work and not (must be based on time of day, time spent in same location, etc)

---------- Post added at 12:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 AM ----------

I have almost everything working now except the sexy voice.... how can I get it to work?

I have my device language set to English US and the search set to not use google.com (ie it will use google UK since that's where I am)

The search is fine, I get cards, I got voice commands working, picks up locations just fine etc. but how does the text to speech actually work? How can I test it or force it to say something to make sure it's OK?

Edit: OK I guess it was working the whole time, I just wasn't getting the right kind of results for text to speech I think, also the volume was very very low so I may not have noticed her speaking. Just a bit weird that you have to have the device in English US... even with device language to UK and text to speech in US it doesn't want to use the US voice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tbbo514:
ok the official jelly bean dropped right? and people are saying they have 4.1.1...im assuming thats the official rom...how come when im in the card settings it wont let me do things like add a team to the sports part?

I'd love to permanently show the translate card since I'm working in chemistry and need a lot of non-day-to-day english stuff I really don't know.

Hey guys Google now keeps thinking my home and work are my home. Is there a way to fix this? I updated the addresses for each and when I first installed JB I was at work. I work nights so it first thought the places were reversed. Both are correct except when Google now states how long it will take to get home and "home" aka work.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Evostance:
Hmm I reckon this is an oversight on their behalf. See if you can change it on latitude.Google.com. If not, send them a support message
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scoobdude:
Everything looks correct on both pc and on phone in regards to set up locations. Created bug report http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34765

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] herzzreh:
You know... GNow is awesome but you either use it and put up with worse battery life or your start gimping it.

For example, today I noticed a huge battery drain between leaving my home and driving to work. The phone was idle, or so I thought. I looked at Better Battery Stats and it showed Signalcollector.ScannerThread keeping the phone alive roughly for the duration of my drive and using the gps. Most likely it was GNow keeping track of the traffic on my way. Cool feature but not worth the battery that was lost to it...

Ok, so I'm totally stuck. I'm in the uk and can't get google now to work at all :(

When I say Google now I mean the cards that you swipe up from below, as far as I know the voice search thing isn't Google now, is it?

Anyway, when I swipe up from the bottom, I get something that says show sample cards, when I click it the same page reloads except I can't click show sampke cards, only the new link at the bottom saying hide sample cards.

I thought first that maybe it was because I was in UK but I see other users using it from UK so any ideas?

Be really grateful as this is one of the things I am looking forward to in JB!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AntonyStark:
You have to go to language and input settings and change it to English US. That's in the General Settings, not in Google now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Puck24:
Okay, this is getting ridiculous. First it didn't show cards and didn't speak. Then it did it all, now it doesn't talk. Wtf? Ideas?

All Ok here, but i don't understand why the Android language (menus etc) has to be ONLY in English. What's the problem if the menus are to Italian/Greek/German? It had to work with this way, also... :silly:

Have you tried setting it to another language? I only have English

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aeoveu:
I remember my hot word detection not working as well... but when I reinstalled (the pre release leaks), KT began working.

Try turning off Google Now, then back on, and see if that helps. Otherwise, you might find some help by clearing the data from Google Search (velvet.apk, I believe) in the Apps menu.

Weather Card Dissapeared

Hey guys,

I'm having a problem with the weather card in google now. It hasn't appeared for the past 3 days despite being set to always appear in the settings menu, it doesn't even show in the sample cards section.

I've tried turning google now off and on, tried turning off then rebooting then turning on, played with the individual settings for the weather card in th settings menu, tried changing languages (I set it to US English around the time it disappeared), tried checking and unchecking 'search on google'; nothing's bringing it back!

Anyone else had a similar problem and managed to fix it?
