I figured it out. Go to the map app then location history tab at the top. Click the menu button and it will say set home and work location.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Oh nice, I see it, didn't notice that before, thanks!

For others, go to maps.google.com click on My Places on top left.

Then underneath will appear "Set Home Location", "Set Work Location".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Does anyone know how to get the weather notification in the status bar? I had it and swiped it away and don't really know what I did to get it there in the first place.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
No idea what you're talking about, that's not a part of Google Now. (weather in status/notification bar).

Other apps like Weather Underground or Weather.com has that feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I don't have any weather apps installed it was just there in the notification bar, it had a cloud icon and showed my current temperature. It showed up after I messed with Google Now but I can't recreate it. Just curious if anyone else had it. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Was your phone plugged into the computer?

The USB debugging icon looks like a cloud.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
It must of been misreported then because several demos I saw showed the notification icon in the status bar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Sorry for the confusion here, I had weather once I pulled down the notification bar, and I swiped it away by accident when I was swiping away a bunch of app install notifications. It wasn't a constant weather icon in the notification bar, it was only visible when pulled down. Sorry for hijacking the thread. Thanks again.

If you look at AndroidCentral's JB video walkthrough, the weather notification is on his phone and he even mentions it as Google Now Weather.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rasinell:
I can confirm this. I had it after opening now for the 1st time, swiped away and its no more. No idea how or why.

I've gotta say I'm loving this rom! And Google understands my southern UK accent. Win win win :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
Same just happened to me after rebooting phone, now trying to get it back..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Somairotevoli:
I had it there too.swipe it away, want it back also.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigbailey1986:
This is what he's talking about. And it is Google now. Its apart of the cards I think
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
Its a jellybean android not a cloud.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rasinell:
Do u know how to get it back after swiping away?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JJHunterx:
In the weather settings in Google now there is an option for weather notifications but the only options are Low Priority or Off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I haven't got the weather to come back but I think they show up when there is an update to your cards. I just got one for my transit time home has changed, so maybe later today when the weather here gets hotter than hell, it will update me. I wish there was a way to keep it there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fifarunnerr:
If you want the notification to stay there, you shouldn't remove the notification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
I haven't had it come up at all. Be nice to know how to trigger it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I just got it back. It shows up when there is a change in the weather.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigbailey1986:
I thought I posted it here but i must have posted it in another thread but do as follows:

Google now

Settings

Google now

Top right toggle off sync

Toggle on sync

It will restart the entire Google now

Enjoy!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
Not sure if this is common knowledge, but I just discovered you can swipe away cards from Google Now. (not notifications, but the cards themselves)

Useful for swiping away the sample card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rasinell:
That done the trick. Thanks! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigbailey1986:
No problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syvere:
Still haven't been able to get the weather show up. Any tips?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
Do you have enabled Google location service?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caurusapulus:
Anyone able to download the offline vocal commands?

When i try to download italian it seems to begin, but it doesn't finish.

Running jelly bean of course :)

Would someone be willing to post the google now apk for this? This is probably the main thing that I am looking forward to with Jelly Bean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lifedelinquent:
Agreed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
Just leave your phone at home when you plan to murder / cheat / speed / go to a one direction concert.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patruns:
How are people using this if it is not yet available?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
That's a disgusting thing to bring up in a public forum :mad: I have a family and an 18 month old daughter who I'm sure DO NOT want things like this mentioned...

...bloody one direction....:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syvere:
Yes all three are checked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It surely requires more than just the apk.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It also requires a higher API level than ICS provides.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
4.1 released for takyu version of GSM Galaxy Nexus.

People took it and put it on the Yakyu version of the GSM Galaxy Nexus.

As for Sprint/Verizon, some people put it on there but things are broken.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
What is broken?

Because since I ported it last night I haven't found anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
For Sprint people, they lose 3g/4g, and only get x1 connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
All of them? Because if nobody has that fixed I will work on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Really? I've been following the thread pretty closely all day and I don't recall seeing that issue. One person said they couldn't use 4G but I didn't see anyone verify that. Perhaps no one has Sprint LTE... I've been using it all day on my Toroplus and the only issues are WiFi strength is terrible on stock and have to use Franco's to fix it. Been 100 degrees so haven't actually left my house yet to verify 3G...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iSaint:
What ? Only issues on toroplus (sprint) are MMS and lte ... we don't even have lte yet anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NoHolidaysForAHooker:
Not to go off topic, but by having to say that I am, what Nexus hardware did you port for? I was looking at Jellybean ports and there's weird "optimizations" added. I've been trying to find a fully stock one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Just searched NY Mets 3 times and it now shows up in the cards after I clicked refresh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarcMaiden:
Hey guys,

is there a list of commands I can get somewhere?

Also, does anyone know the commands to start/stop music or specific playlists etc?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ironzey:
Voice commands...

What are the voice commands that will cause a voice response?

I just stumbled across the what is the weather command.

She, the lady that lives in my phone, answered back.

EDIT:

What is the temperature? (add location)

What is the forecast for tomorrow? (add location)

What time is it? (add location)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Toro and its stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jbmowgli:
History

My history was paused. I did it during the entire debacle with the new Google terms of use. When I turned it back on, I noticed that more cards started showing up (sports, etc.).

If you would like to turn it back on (or just check if it is on), here's were to find the settings:

Google Now -> Settings -> Privacy and accounts -> Manage web history
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
Thanks for this, I completely forgot about that.

I guess this screws the tinfoil-hat group
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davorb:
Is it possible to extract the APK and make it run on other phones?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pmcee:
i just installed jb and love it but google now only gives me web results. even if i ask for weather.

i turned sync off and on and restarted... no change
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Turb0wned:
Yeah I can't get any new cards to show up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] faizalmzain:
this morning google now intelligently determine where i'm working and notify the traffic condition to work. pretty fast considering i only use it for less than 24 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smaskell:
has anyone been able to get any of the old style voice actions to work properly with Google Now(e.g. "Set alarm for", "Send text to..", etc.)? In this video they seem to have alarms working but I can't get it to work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDsOtdRtG0Q&feature=player_embedded

Maybe because I'm in Canada? I don't know..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Klathmon:
No.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Works fine for me. It even opens the person's card.

Here's a screenshot:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadowam:
Using it just fine in Brazil using English (US).

Set alarm 9 o'clock

Send text 'mom' hello mom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ChongoDroid:
Mine worked " remind me to feed the dog at 2pm"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mikef3j:
Nice!!!

Installed JB at lunch today and never once went for the swipe!!! That was until reading about it here. Very cool.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smaskell:
I tried every single setting in Google Now that I could find. Absolutely nothing worked. Then I tried changing my language to "English (US)" instead of "English (UK)" and it worked. Seems kind of dumb that it wouldn't work with UK english but oh well. Hopefully that will be fixed in the final version

Edit: Looks like "Hotword detection" only works with US English as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
JB is technically still a preview right now and they explicitly mentioned that it's US English right now only. (Different word usage and mannerisms, changes are subtle but enough for 2 different categories)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] apratomo:
Where did you set your office location? Is Google creepily knows where you're working at.

super awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
It's lame that it sets it as an alarm though, because then it will go off no matter if you're on silent mode. Is there any way to create calendar events?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
Not sure if anyone knows this but you can launch google now by long pressing the home button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Buy (free) the Nexus 7 manual off Play Books.

https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Google_Inc_Nexus_7_Guidebook?id=gKmQD47OvCYC

You can read it on the web/phone.

Go to page 26, it tells you all the secrets and how to configure Google Now.

Privacy, web history, location settings, etc...

Page 36 tells you how to speak/ask/say to get the cool cards results.

Page 37 for the Voice Actions

Heh, saying "note to self blabhlahblahblahb" it will record your voice and send the message in a text and audio recording to your gmail account.

Unfortunately it records in .amr format and the galaxy nexus can't play it. I tap on it to play it wants to open in dice player or super video, that's it. wth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wjsmaggle:
This. Also, does anyone know how to get it to tell you upcoming appointments? Every time I ask "What's coming up?" "What are my upcoming appointments?" and "What events are coming up?" it does a google search for those terms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Major Clod:
To those having trouble getting voice actions to work, I found if I set my device language to US, everything was fine.

It didn't matter if the individual keyboards, voice keyboard or voice actions were set to something else (In my case, English Australia) as long as the overall language was US it seemed fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fredryk:
Yeah in this regard you can see how it's not a gigantic improvement over the voice search that was already in Android for a long time. I would much rather have expanded functionality over "natural language," but I can see that they had to add the natural language crap to look good next to Siri.

In other words, I would much rather be able to just plainly speak "upcoming appointments" or "set calendar event 4 pm feed dog" than compose a complete sentence like "Why hello galaxy nexus, how are you on this fine afternoon? I would like to inquire as to the temperature, in degrees fahrenheit, in my current city of residence at twenty minutes 'till dusk three Fridays from now."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asb123:
I am trying to figure out how to get it to activate when saying 'Google'.

Sometimes it only shows the option to type rather than type or say Google...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ianflo:
^ right? it seems like i saw a billion examples with an upcoming event as a card, but for the life of me cant get anything to come up in my cards.

as for the reminders, itd be nice if they were set as tasks. or if voice actions had the ability to write to/modify tasks.

also, ive had my web history on and the only card that comes up is weather :-\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadowam:
Only works in English (US), just activate 'Hotword detection'
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asb123:
I have us English set. It is weird that it was working before and is now not. I don't even see the option for hotword detection anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
very helpful there. I was playing around with it today, and went out with some friends to the park. There are quite a few attractions nearby, and opening up Google Now gave me the following info:

card 1: current weather

card 2: directions and traffic for my route home

card 3: a bunch of attractions nearby - all stacked together. click on one of them to expand the stack. check in and get info from the card. very neat.

card 4: i forget what was there, actually...

Either way, I used Now to set an alarm for me before we left, and to send a test text message. You could do both of these with Voice Actions before though - just looks nicer now.

I tried to launch some apps and change settings using Now, but that usually didn't work. That said, the error message essentially says that the feature is upcoming, so that's nice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
Dudes outside of the US, do not change the Google Search setting to use the default US www.google.com instead of your local site (google.com.my in my case).

It makes Google Now report weather locations/reports (and a few other things) as somewhere in the US instead of where you are.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jessesmith888:
Tip: set your home and work locations for better cards.

In maps app, sign into latitude. Touch your icon on the map, now hit settings/location history and set your locations for home and work.

Win.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syvere:
Thanks, now when I say "weather" it gives me the correct card. However, I still have no idea how I can get the card automatically show when I go to search. It's irking me to no end!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Thanks, Well Spotted. If I sign out of Latitude, will these setting stick and update or do I HAVE to be signed in constantly?

Cant be Ar*ed with the whole 'Latitude' thing TBH
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jessesmith888:
I signed back out. It was still working
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Haha. Today was one of the first times I actually saw Google Now work how it's supposed to. I looked up a vet on my laptop earlier today cuz I wanted to take my cat in for a check up, and then a little bit later I noticed a notification on my phone indicating that traffic might be slower than usual if I were to go to the vet right then. Pretty cool considering google syncs my searches on my laptop to my phone.. very awesome!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Success! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] annie42:
anyone know how to change the font on jelly bean?

Anyway, how to activate the sport card?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Topper Harley:
Anyone using another language than English? I lost all vocal commands with JB... "Sent text to " or "Navigate to " were the most useful commands in the car, I don't have them anymore. It's just searching the web for my query.

Any idea if it's Google fault or mine, with a configuration issue? All input languages have been set to french.

The recognition is way better but the commands are lost... pointless...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superjjskate:
Can someone tell me how can i do that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] prinzhernan:
Open Google now. Scroll to the very end. Open the context menu at the bottom. The click privacy and accounts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asaxby:
I can't get Google Now to work, I launch it and it opens the app with the little mountain motif, but doesn't show any cards and then just takes me to a plain screen with a search bar.

Has anyone else had this issue and found a solution? I have tried wiping and reflashing, but can't seem to get it to work. I am using MCR JR1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Open Google now, go to settings, turn Google now off (top right hand Corner) exit app. Re open and start all over again. If you swipe a card away, it WILL NOT return until the data is refreshed i.e the weather changes, so be warned!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Anyone used Now to send texts via voice to text? For me on my Toroplus it will send via the stock Messaging app just fine but if I choose to send thru Google Voice it doesn't send.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
Works fine. First time I tried it, after it shows the person's card, tap on send text or edit txt and popup should come up asking you how to proceed with messaging or gvoice, pick gvoice and set it to default.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Hmmm... I did that. Then when I noticed it wasn't sending I cleared defaults and tried both Messaging and Voice using the only once option. Both looked as if they sent but only Messaging came up with the "sending message" toast and only the one sent via Messaging was received. Maybe it has something to do with the Sprint/Voice integration...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cymru:
Phone search / actions dont work for me at all here in UK. Cant send texts, even saying a contacts name just google searches.

Weather and navigation cards work okay though
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Works for me flawlessly. Do you have Language settings set to US rather then UK? having it all in US brought it to life for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cymru:
Thanks! I had my Google Now settings to US English but not system language so changed that to US and voila! (can keep my keyboard set to UK english too which is decent)

Edit: do have to master my american accent now though. Doesnt recognise places like 'Cardiff' or names too well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_Stranger:
Well that is a "problem" (not really unexpected in a unofficial "beta"copy of JB), but I have to talk (US)English now to my girlfriend when I want here to stop by the supermarket to get some milk :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sn0warmy:
Google Now has been working flawlessly for me with voice commands to send texts, make calls, and set reminders. But one thing I would like to get it to do is show a card with all my upcoming calendar appointments, like for the next 60 days. It will only show upcoming events so if the event is 1+ days out it shows nothing.

Anyone find a way to change this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Your phone is your girlfriend?? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TjPhysicist:
it *is* in fact Home/Work set on latitude.google.com 's dashboard on your browser. At first it "guesses" home, but you can set the address. I recently changed mine (forgot to change it from before) and when i started up google now again it showed me "directions to your new home" card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_Stranger:
By the way, i don't know if it is part of google now, or a stand alone, but I heard google speak of a music identify widget/app/card like shazam, but can;t find it, neither in google now, nor as a standalone widget/app.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
You don't have to use Latitude to set it using Google Maps. I have never enabled Latitude (and never will).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mama Luigi:
Thanks jessiesmith! Entered my home and work addresses this morning and just before I left I checked my cards. Showed my route to work and said that traffic was normal. Very helpful since there's been some construction there lately; it was nice to know ahead of time that the route was clear so I didn't have to use a detour!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
It's there. Widgets ---> Sound Search
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Not on my Build its not :confused:

Strange. I'll use Soundhound then as usual! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] humanporkrind:
I have a lot of issues with Vadafone in Germany loosing connection with servers that are in the US, so this may be the reason you do not get the updates.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Just tested the two against each other and Soundhound is better anyways. JB widget looks kinda cool when it's listening but couldn't identify tracks that Soundhound had no trouble with.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
It probably only identifies music that is in the Play Store. Since the Play Store is missing a lot of content, that might explain it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] harveydent:
I'm able to play note to self emails just fine... what ROM are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nxt:
I'm using the stock JB rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rosswaa:
On mine I can't set alarms or play music it just cones up as a web search :S anyone know why ? Do you have to enable something ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I don't think Google Now is finished. It doesn't do a lot of things yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JosephAGT:
Is anybody able to access voice commands through Google Now such as 'set alarm @ #'.

Doesn't seem to be working for me, just takes me to the web.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smaskell:
Make sure your system-wide default language is set to "English (US)". It's the only one that is supported right now for voice actions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kenneth131:
you need root uninstaller then open it find sound search tap on it then enable it. that google wallet and play magazines are all disabled on some roms.

Magazines doesnt work in the uk

Sound search works ok but not as good as soundhound yet and again in the uk no music on the play store

And google wallet works fine.

using market enabler now doesnt work like it used to. When in use the market will switch from us to uk and back without clearing play stores cache

But it still does not allow you to open play magazines or find music on the play store through the sound search widget
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
I have a takju nexus and my Google wallet says unsupported in my country.. and I'm in Texas lmao. Which ROM did you flash?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dizzi800:
One thing I wish that Google Now/voice search had, is the ability to activate apps/interact with apps. (Play music, next song etc.)

But it can't :( (Or, at least it does not for me)

EDIT: Also, for some reason, when I ask things like "What is the weather today" it gives me results for Washington :S I'm in Halifax darn it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kenneth131:
im in the uk so used "market enabler" to spoof t mobile USA the first n the list on market enabler then you can open wallet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
