Google Now can't play music?! - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had this problem for quite a long time and never been able to play music via voice commands in Google Now. I would say 'play "song title or artist" '. But I would just search what I said on Google.
I have a nexus 4.... Cm10.2 nightly. Canada.

I think you have to say...... listen to (track name)
Not sure though I don't use Google now.

Nope. Still just googled what I said

I have always had this problem with Google now. Would be nice if it worked and if it was part of the offline voice dictation. You could try Utter, very functional and customizable voice control. Don't really think a bump was necessary...

Then it must be the rom

Didn't work for me either. How could it be the ROM? Isn't Google Now part of Gapps?

I don't believe it even worked when I was on stock ROM. I'm thinking its because I'm in Canada? Maybe these features have only rolled out to the US? Correct me if I'm wrong

Ya i tried both listening and playing commands.
Whats worse is i get my music from online sources since i listen to djs . So the fields of name and song arent correctly filled. Why there is no simple program that can separate or fill the data in automatically is beyond me. Seems pretty easy. Thats the artist and thats the song title
wish i can just say a command and it will play a random song, and then i can give commands to go to next song vocally or something. Was looking into MotoX so i can go handsfree but seems google play needs more updates

Persistent notifications?

Is there anyway to get persistent notifications? I am using jellybro and my wife is still stock. Neither ROM seems to support the feature.
I want my phone to beep every few minutes to remind me of missed calls and text messages.

Is this the sort of thing you were looking for?

Exactly! You are the man! Don't understand why such a basic feature was removed from android. Doesn't seem like I should need an app for this. Thanks a million!

Google plus app not compatible with nexus 4?

Google plus showed a update but when I open it , it showed not compatible .... Any one having this ?

It is being replaced by Google hangouts. Try downloading it from the Play Store.

Its probably uploading. See how it doesn't list the size of the app.

Looks like its a Google problem at the moment. Sure they will fix soon

Got the same. Interesting how the roll-out of all these "new" apps is problematic and a lot of hiccups in the process.
Eh well, they will fix it, like they did with Hangouts for Nexus 7 and so on ...

New Headphones Disconnected toast

Today I noticed that when I unplug my headphones I get a toast saying that it was disconnected.
This thing occurred today so maybe Google did what Sony did and pushed a few modified files over to all the Nexus 4's on stock without any OTA's or anything like nothing happened.
Does anyone with the stock rom get this today?
Go to http://flic.kr/p/fb5Uiy for screenshot.
Cannot upload image to XDA anymore for some reason.

I haven't seen that toast. It could be coming from an app you have installed and not the OS. Perhaps the Zoner AV you have installed.

Your right, It is the Music Tagging app, I just greenified it so it will not occur again.
This is what happens when you think too hard when there is a simple fix.

What hardware buttons?, I am using the Google-all-clean-stock rom.
Bluetooth is off so the icon does not show which is completely normal since Android 1.5.

I never said buttons. On my G1 there use to be a headset icon indicating headphones, I can't recall if my other android devices had it tho. The BT icon was an example to emphasize where hardware based icons go relative to the status bar.

That is Google Music, you can still have that icon without earphones.
That is for changing songs from the notifications bar.
Apologies for late response, I am in Madeira at the moment and I only can get internet at certain times.

Stock should include musicfx. Other than that, there are plenty in the Play Store.

What do you mean "when I click on it"? MusicFX sucks for BT streaming anyways. I highly recommend ViPER4Android. I used to require speaker boost apps and have all my volume settings for my phone and car stereo on max just to be able to hear the streaming music. Now, with V4A I don't need any extra booster apps and my BT streaming sounds just as clear and loud as a CD.

You are supposed to use the A8 drivers for the Nexus 4 if you go by the instructions in the V4A thread. However I got better sound with the A9/A15 drivers. I also installed V4A on an sgh-I747m and the A8 drivers worked best on that device.

[Q] Disable Headphone Button?

Does someone know of an app or a fix to disable all input from the headphone button? My apple headphone button seems to be broken, it constantly keeps on pausing the music and bringing up Google now, that's why I want to disable it. I know there is an app called Headset Blocker on the play store and it seems to do exactly what I want, but for some reason its incompatible.
