When I use the language English (US) in Google Now it is working.

But when i change it to German, i don´t get an answer anymore. It justs writes my said words into the search box and searches in the web instead of answering.

And then i am also unable to change the language back to English (US) in the App.

pls help me.

[Android Apps and Games] Killer-B:
IDK whats wrong than, maybe its the ROM

I was able to change the language to German and go back to English with not problem. Try clearing, cache under apps for Google search. If that doesn't work ,clear data and reboot.

Is there a recommended Gapps for the Nexus running Xenon to get the calendar to show up in Google now? I know it did for me before but I cannot remember which Gapps version it was. Cards do not show up, cannot add it calendar to phone search and the voice commands to text calendar do nothing but search the web.

Great tutorial, Google Now is really great I just want to get the Calendar portion working.

I can get to the personalize check box, but whenever I check it and close the window, it doesn't stay checked when I go back to check the setting. I'm rooted, running stock.
[Android Apps and Games] Killer-B:
Try going to the phone settings/ language and keyboard/ voice search. And check it form there, it might make a difference, might not.

If it doesn't work, try out a differnt apk, and see if it works for you.

Does this get your calendar events to show up in Google Now??
[Android Apps and Games] Killer-B:
No your events should show up on GNow when it's about server hours its due, make sure they are synced. All this does is that you can is voice to add events to your calendar, so you don't have to go in to the date you want it and set the event and time, instrad, just speak it:D

I have a quick question. On my Galaxy s3 I can access Google Now by holding down the menu key, however this only takes me to the Google text input screen, I still have to press the mic button to access voice search. Is there any way I can have my long press menu shortcut to voice search (aka red mic)? The voice search app in my apps menu shortcuts to it if that helps. Sadly my old Nexus S 4g had a search button that did exactly this (press for text, hold for voice). I appreciate any suggestions you guys might have. :)

Thanks to everyone who helped bring this to ICS over the past several weeks, I use it every day!
[Android Apps and Games] jaxf250:
Just say "Google" to start the voice engine after long press menu key

Google Now > Settings > Voice > Hotword detection (make sure you check the box)

Hth
[Android Apps and Games] lordazoroth:
Thank you for the quick response. Yeah, I have that enabled but sometimes remembering to say google causes me to forget what I wanted to ask it. It sounds weird, maybe I'm retarded but saying google tends to trip me up, plus it adds an extra step and any of us who have written programs in the past understand well the value of stripping out as many operations as possible (aka links in the chain). I was hoping there might be a shortcut app that could reroute key-presses to specific shortcuts. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] Kerns_JW:
I was playing with hot word detection a few days ago and was thinking we should modify the hot word to a name like Apple did for siri. Would be even better if e found a way to make it customizable. Haven't had a chance to compile the apk, so no idea if it's possible
[Android Apps and Games] Killer-B:
I understand what you are saying.no app that I know of does that. Because it will have to access the system files to change coding. but if you go to the GS3 forum.you might find mods that reroute the hardware buttons.. My phone for an example the Evo LTE (in video) doesn't come with search button. So I moded my camera to search and long press for voice. So you might find a mod that will make one of your GS3 buttons to search. Good luck .:D

I'm also having issues with using a bluetooth headset. Usually when I trigger Google Now from my bluetooth headset, I get the following error: "Unfortunately Google Text-to-speech Engine has stopped. What's wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] lordazoroth:
Found it, home2shortcut app. Saw it mentioned in one of the other forums, thought I'd bring it here :D

I can't hold the menu key down but I can double click home which is actually better since I can launch the red mic directly no matter what application I'm using. Now I don't even have to be on the home screen. Just make sure to disable double-click-home first in S Voice menu settings, and make sure to select home2shortcut as default, not touchwiz (or whatever you're using)

Update: There are additional options for more shortcuts other than double click home key in the Home2 Shortcut App, however I recommend default.

If pretty much everything else is working. - reflash the version that you're using, twice in succession - before rebooting - then go to apps & clear Google search cache - force close Google search - reboot.

It seems that flashing changes twice before restarting the phone, fixes a number of quirks, it's as if something is remaining from the previous setup - flashing a new zip a couple of times gets it to properly overwrite what was there before :)

Do you recommend doing a clean install with a full wipe first or is a dirty install ok?
[Android Apps and Games] shaggyskunk:
I'd wipe cache & dalvik, and again 2 or 3 times (hey, while you're there anyway & it only takes a few extra seconds). Maybe that whole rinse & repeat thing with shampoo, makes sense too :p

Alright, I'm experiencing another bug/issue now.

When in I'm in the Google Now cards and say "Google", I hear the ping but the flashing red mic doesn't show up. It just stays in the cards page and speaks the answer but I don't get the visual answer. I have to actually click the mic to get it working correctly. And yes, I have hotword detection checked in the settings.
[Android Apps and Games] mattemer:
I've noticed this sort of as well. I'll say Google, I'll get the ping, it still responds to me, I just don't see the mic color "fluttering" like normal.
[Android Apps and Games] Killer-B:
Ok, some versions are known not to work. Also, some may not work on a certain phone with a certain rom. Most likely it will work if you can type in the question and pressing search, is that doesn't work either. You guys might have a version that not fully working or a version that works best for your phone.

I have Evo LTE, with mickyxda version 6, works great.

Hope that helps :D

First thanks a lot to the devs =D. & thank you Killer-B for the great list in op.

I was using Gnow on a JellyBean preview rom. Switched back to a ICS rom for better battery life and was missing Google Now till I found this :D.

Working perfectly so far.

One question, like the others mentioned before I'm not being able to find the "personalized voice search" option in settings. Did anyone come across a fix for this?

Cheers!

I'm not sure if there is a fix for that, I know that some people get it and some don't. As far as I know, it may be the ROM

[Android Apps and Games] Dudditz:
Might be a bit of a noob question however I have read the thread and can't find an answer.

Is there a way to get the voice actions to recognise a spelling of a name, so as when I want to use the "text" command, it will text the correct person.

My other halfs name is Kassi but pronounced Casey.

When I use the command 'Text Kassi' it comes out as 'Text Casey' and can't find her.

Obviously this is her mothers fault for not being more forward thinking about how tech would cope with her silly spelling however, is there anything, other than changing her name in the phone book (I don't really want to) to sort that out?
[Android Apps and Games] el_vago32:
I know this sounds dumb, but have you tried saying, instead, "Text Kahsee"? Probably better than changing her name in the phone book.
[Android Apps and Games] Dudditz:
Yeah tried that, comes up with Cassie.

Might just need to change the name...

Try going into her contact (edit), Add Another Field, then Enter Phonetic Name as Casey. That may work?

[Android Apps and Games] Killer-B:
sorry haven't ran the offline version yet, if i get i chance to do so, ill try to post it in OP. I believe mainly the commands that dont need to search the internet is what your look for. Such as, set alarm, email, not to self, remind me to, text...., call...,etc.

hope that helped a lil:D

Its takes time I believe, but mine started getting different cards at least 24hr after use. If that's not your problem, where do you live(country)?

Has anyone noticed that the pictures that come up when you use the command, "Show me pictures of...", look like absolute crap? They look fine with the stock Google Now on my Nexus 7 but look terrible on my Galaxy S3 with the hacked version. They look sort of blurry, almost like they're not rendered correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] roidsmith:
For conversational sake, I go to my friends house a lot and google now asked me if I cared to get traffic information to my friends house and I hit accept. If they no longer live in the house and were going to move, how would I make google now not give me directions to the previous house? I cannot find a setting anywhere that would lead me to believe that I can shut off going to that house, or forget that house. I can only assume that it will forget about the house if it knows I have no gone to that house in awhile.

Hi guys, i plan on buying a droid 4 on ebay. it is not unlocked. and i was really need help to get it working with Rogers in Canada.

can someone please list out the steps from unlocking, root and flash to ICS?

I'm coming from galaxy nexus and it was pretty much a one step thing. but the droid 4 seems a little more complicated after some research. like what is a safestrap?? :confused:

any help would be appreciated!

thanks in advance *cheers*
[Motorola Droid 4] alex94kumar:
well someone should probably give you the bad news... droid 4 has a locked bootloader
[Motorola Droid 4] tcrews:
You don't need to "unlock, root and flash" ICS, you can just install the leaked ICS from the factory stock recovery.

The leaked ICS enables the global capabilities but beyond that I can't provide you much info.....

Also, flashing the leaked ICS is irreversible, though you can move forward as new(er) leaks are found and most likely up to the eventual OTA upgrade as well.

The leaks are designed to upgrade the stock phone.
[Motorola Droid 4] qqbabii:
sorry if this is a dumb question, im just kind of confused. because the seller on ebay told me i need to unlock it for it to work with rogers

what does a locked bootloader mean?.. isn't there codes that i can purchase online to unlock the phone?

hi, so would you be able to list out the steps to install the leaked ICS? and can you explain to me what a safe strap is?

[Motorola Droid 4] dbreezy187:
There was a couple of post a few months back regarding Rogers pretty sure about how to get it working n what not just scroll through the post and find what you need...
[Motorola Droid 4] KrellaKrentoshi:
Hmmm

I think what the seller may have been referring to is the SIM card. If I understand it right, the D4 works on the Verizon network with that SIM card. You have to either get a new SIM that is specifically for Rodgers, or you need to unlock the Verizon SIM card, and then it can work on anything. Sorry, I don't know how to go about doing it specifically for rodgers, but you should be able to search xda for the procedure for unlocking the SIM card. Good Luck! :D
