Huawei P8 GRA-UL10 - No Google Now at Swipe Up?!! - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I have just gotten my P8 Premium from China and I have set it up to all Google Apps and services but for one. I cannot find a way to make the swipe up the home button function to work launching Google Now. It is a bit irritating.
Does anybody have any idea how to make it work?

Actually I have noticed that the app Google Settings - the Cogwheel with the G inside is not present at all anywhere. This is strange because Google Play Services are installed.

[Q] 4.4 stock: no Google Now?

Hi guys!
I just flashed the 4.4 factory image with full wipe, didn't root or anything, the phone is completely stock. Everything seems fine, except for Google Now: swiping up (including lock screen) starts Google Search, which doesn't listen to "Ok Google" and doesn't display what Google Now used to display, in fact it's just a blank white page with a search bar at the top.
How do I get Google Now back?
I will appreciate your suggestions!

I think OK Google is available just in the US
Also, You have to slide left for Google Now.
have you tried turning google now on? longpress any empty space on a homescreen. press settings, turn on google now. if you dont have that option, install google search from the play store.
Log into your Google account, then go in "Google Settings" -> Search, and enable Google Now in there.
Both of you are referring to the Google Experience Launcher which KitKat for Nexus 4 do not come with, it needed to be sideloaded. (Not Google Search, the Launcher apk)
After changing the language and locale to English (US) I got the "Ok Google" listening back. Looks like this feature is not available if the device is set to English (UK), which is a bit dumb.
The Google Now screen with cartoonish mountains, Google Now cards, etc are still missing. I have a blank white Google Search page with the "Search, or say "Ok Google" search bar.
I tried long-pressing on an empty space on my homescreen, there are no Settings and/or way to enable Google Now there. Any other suggestions?
I had a similar issue, even GEL and GoogleNow were installed, but "Say 'Ok Google" didn't show up.
Cleared the data of Google Play Service, had to assign my widgets again, but "Say Ok Google" showed up

Then install this launcher. Tap and hold on, go into Settings and see if it has an option to turn on Google Now. http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...once-you-get-your-kitkat-update-apk-download/

Thanks, I tried the Google Experience launcher. Unfortunately, Google Now is still missing and the settings still don't have anything related to Google Now
Update: I also tried adding a Google Now widget to the homescreen, the widget appeared saying "Google Now is not available".

I am in Cyprus, and Google Now worked just fine before.
The issue may be related to Google Location Reporting suddenly being unavailable. I can't change its settings, it just says "not available in Cyprus". I wonder why, as it used to work.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this seems to require root, and my device is not rooted.
Well, let me try a factory reset, may be something screwed up during the initial setup
Update: tried everything suggested, except deleting Google Search which requires root, and Google Now is still missing I give up.
Update 2: apparently, I'm not the only one with this issue, Google product forums are full of people with missing Google Now. So far nobody knows why it suddenly disappeared after upgrade to 4.4 and/or how to get it back.

Added more to the list, that is a huge amount of bloat removed and seems to be running fine without it! Definitely seems much more stock Android as well.
Good thread but quick question pls. I see many of you are disabling the hot spot. One of the top things i use is the a hot spot for my daughters homework while in the car and such. Is there a secondary hot spot youre using?
Thx

Not that I know of, but if you need it, just don't disable it
The idea here is to get to stock Android, then perhaps enable the things you needed from Verizon.
I'm a little shocked anyone would disabled the moto features. I guess this thread is about the most stock experience. But if the moto apps were on the market, & I was rocking a nexus. I would still have it downloaded lol
Yeah I may still re-enable some of those.
Also disabled the Camera app and installed the Google Camera. No reason to have two
I have disabled most of these apps. Now I can not answer my phone when it rings. The phone rings, but no animation comes up to let me swipe or any way to choose to answer it. What have I disabled/changed that would cause this? Every thing else seems to work fine.

Post your list and maybe we can figure it out. My guess is maybe you only disabled some of the Motorola specific ones? I have the full list as advertised in the first post and have no prob answering from a screen off.
Sorry, I was unable to post them. I did go into settings and enabled every one that I had disabled with my wife periodically calling me. I also randomly turned the phone off and on a few times. Still nothing. The phone rings, but the answering icon does not appear and I can not answer. Is there another way to answer the phone? Could I have turned something off that would affect this or maybe download an app?
I just went into recovery and wiped the cache partition, reboot. This did not fix the problem. Don't know what else to try? I'm thinking it is something simple. I will take it into Version tomorrow.
That's really strange. Maybe it wasn't related to the disabling?
Possibly. I've been trying to remember what I may have done. I received a call yesterday morning just fine. Yesterday afternoon, I received a call and could not answer it because I do not get the answer phone icon. Most of the time in between those two calls, I was driving and not messing with the phone. ?

Wow. That's a lot. Update on my problem. I took the phone into Verizon this morning. The lady that helped thinks I probably uninstalled something to cause this.
What she did to fix the the problem was to do a complete default wipe.
That seems to have resolved it.
It was working properly when I left the store. In now I'm the process of restoring all my apps. That takes a little while.

Glad you were able to get it working.

That's strange, because you can't really uninstall anything, only disable.
itanas, wow that's a big list. I think some are stock Android apps, so that's cool that you can disable them, but I don't know that it gets us the pure Android.
I'll note for anyone reading that I re-enabled the Moto, Moto Activity, and Moto Display apps so I could have the notifications back (since this phone has no notification LED w/the stock software).
Also updated the first post with Camera.

Has any one tired this yet?
I've been into recovery, but just wiped the cache partitions.

Google now cards issue

About a week ago, I started having issues with the Now Cards (or feeds or whatever Google calls them now) showing up on the Google Now screen when I swipe over. My google search screen (on left) showed no cards even after 24 hours had passed, but in the notification dropdown, it showed a weather notification and showed some number of cards at the bottom right. I could click on the notification and it took me to the Google Now search, which had NO cards. I reset the Google Search settings, history, and the Google app. It worked...for about 2 hours. Now back to notifications showing 21 Cards under the Weather but nothing in the Google now search screen.
Since I was wanting to go ahead and unlock my bootloader and root, I reset the phone, rooted it, and all the other fun stuff. Google Now Cards...still the same problem. Even took the same steps outlined above. I get a few hours where it works, then nothing.
So my question is this: Cards/Feeds seems to be on because I am getting notifications, but clicking on it takes me to a blank Google search screen. How do I make the cards under notifications show on the Google Now search? Or am I missing something else? Did Google just decide to break their own stuff during their EOL for Google Now launcher?
Mine has been doing this occasionally as well, I am using the Google App beta, so I thought it may be due to that. Are you using the stable release?
Tapping the search bar within the Google App (where the cards/feed should be) fixes this issue for me, until the next time it occurs, usually a day or so later.
I'm using stable. My cards have come back again but for how long is unknown. I guess Google is messing things up in the updates because it started happening right after the latest update.
Card went away again. Quite frustrating. I'm using Google now launcher so I will try to switch.

I'm using Nova, same issue. Just tapping the search bar from within the Google app brings my cards back.
Tapping the search bar on Nova didn't help until I reset the Google search, then quit working again (yes I get a decent number of feeds do to weather, online orders, etc). I actually liked the now launcher and swiping over as I actually find the cards useful. I like Nova well enough so with now cards being intermittent at best, I might as well turn off the feeds to save battery if they aren't reliable for now and switch over to Nova so I can utilize screen real estate to the left of home.

Tapping the search bar from within the Google app fixes mine, not on the launcher home screen. So with GNL, swipe to Google Now, tap search, fixed. Nova: open Google app, tap search. On my device this works anyway.

Didn't work on mine. I'll keep trying some various things over the next few days to see what comes of it. Hopefully it is just a bug that Google will release an update to fix.
I had same issue, I solved that issue doing the following:
go to settings => application => app google => empty cache and data
Kind of factory reset for google search app.
Just need to re enable google now after that and cards are back.
Seems not be device related but google search update released 17/02/2017 see the comment on the play store.

After reading through the reviews on the play store, it is looking like an update issue by Google. Using the Google now launcher pretty much leaves the cards useless for me. If I use another launcher, the Google search app will work with the new tab thing they have going on.
Hi all,
I am with Google Now Launcher. I have the same issue with the google now cards. Can't seem to make them appear on will. They come and go whenever Tried force close on Google app, cleaning cache and so on. Opening the app from the app drawer make no difference. Interestingly when I switch to Pixel Launcher and tap the google logo on the top left on the home screen and then tap the google logo from the search bar all the cards are there but when I go back to GNL the cards are missing
So I guess something is messed with Google app/Google Now Launcher relation.

Thanks for confirming this. I wonder if Google is just giving up completely on the Google now launcher since they are removing it from the play store. It bites if they are especially considering the are a fair number of people who use it.

My thoughts exactly
I have also been having this issue. Blank Google Now feed and using the Google Now Launching, which is stock. My MXPE is virgin stock since day 1. I have even factory rest and the issue still came back a couple of days later.
This all started about a month ago for me too.

Thanks. It is obvious from reviews and he that Google screwed it up with an update... About the time they added tabbed feeds. What a crappy way to drop support if that is their end game.
My cards are functioning fine..Haven't noticed any change or missing cards.

Yeah, I started having problems after a Google App update.
When we get Google notifications, for things like time to leave for an appointment. It goes to Google Now when the notification is pressed and there's a blank screen.
If Google were to end support, it would leave us with dibiltated devices.

Maybe the ROM you're using still uses an older version of the Google app, before the issues started?

The cards work fine if using another launcher like Nova and you enter the Google app. In fact the Google search app when entered via another launcher will show the tabbed feeds that the latest update boasts about.
It is specifically the Google Now Launcher with the swipe to left function which seems to have the feeds broken. The tabbed feeds will not show up in the Google app under Google Now. If you press the colorful G icon, in all apps or the persistent search bar, it does not launch into the Google app, but rather takes you to the left of the homescreen, which is the part that is broken.
Since Google plans to remove the Google Now Launcher from the app store, I fear they may have dropped support for it and will not fix the feeds issue. I hope Google's announcement to bring Google Assistant this week to MM and N will fix this problem... Or give us the Pixel Launcher (I know I'm dreaming but I can hope).
Thank you, you're right. I prefer Arrow Launcher as a fallback and now the cards work again.
And I agree, Google probably will not fix the Now Launcher. We will see how they plan to roll out Google Assistant.
New Google App Update fixes Google Now Launcher, but Nova no longer works the same
There's a new Google App update out. Maybe preparing us for Google Assistant .
It fixes the Google Now Launcher. But now, when clicking "Google" in the search bar on Nova Launcher, instead of Google Now cards opening, it's just a search and nothing more.
After using the Arrow launcher for a bit, I moved to Nova.
I'll stick with Nova for now and added a desktop icon to open Google when I need Google Now cards.

Does anyone have Google Assistant on a J3?

I've rooted my J320A, installed the beta versions of Google Play Services and the Google App, cleared all storage for each app and I'm still not seeing Google Assistant. Is anyone else having this problem?
mines not rooted, but i'm having the same problem
I have a stock SM-J327P with the beta Google App and Google Play services too and it's not on my phone yet either.

Also we could try posting to https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/websearch/RC1pw4QhcfE/GCZx2ZbMBgAJ with answers to Ron's and hopefully prompt a better response.
Maybe im confused, but isnt the screenshot google assistant?
Didnt do anything, just updated stock thru playstore.
Guess what I posted above isn't assistant, just Google on tap...I've tried a lot to get this working
The non rooted methods out there can get to assistant in a round about way (launching some settings menu), but after assistant is activated I still could not launch it.
Using current versions of Google app the only way I could access assistant is thru rooted terminal, using the following command
Code:
am start -n "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox/com.google.android.apps.gsa.staticplugins.opa.OpaActivity"
But typing that is a half and I couldn't come up with a practical way of using (I plan to learn tasker tho, that might help)
Only decent way I can launch it is by using an old version, 6.11.21.21 works. And installing the xposed module assistant enabler (n-ify's experimental settings has this feature too)
You must also disable auto update in your play store.
Using old versions has it's drawbacks. For instance Pixel launcher doesn't get read your weather card, so no weather widget. Who knows what else.
[EDIT]
I was able to update and it still work, it didn't last tho... Needs more testing

Nah havent really messed with tasker yet.
Only really have time to play on the weekends, and worked on another project last weekend (that alt root thing). Now with the holliday im not sure what ill have time for...i did work out the highest version assistant enabler works for us tho (6.13.25.21 works)
Ill be sure to report any updates
Think this is the best i can do with tasker using the command above (and updated google app)
Install tasker and autovoice
In tasker click the profile tab and import the two attached profiles
In autovoice goto google now
Choose not enabled
Turn on both autovoice and tasker accessibility options
Back out then check enable and uncheck voice only
Now goto advanced and check always cancel
And thats it
Now when you say 'ok google' (or use voice search) voice search will popup and close and google assistant will launch...holding the home button will bring up on tap, auto close and launch assistant.
It will probably fail the first time, but itll work afterwards.
Also the first time you open the google app itll activate assistant, but again, itll work afterwards.
Enjoy
-D
Btw im still looking for another method, i dont like the delay
I had a little luck using Google Assistant Launcher, which seems to launch the same intent you suggested and may be easier than messing around with tasker.
Here's what I've done:
De-enroll from the Google App beta, uninstall the beta, and then install the latest (non-beta) Google app.
Then run the Google Assistant Launcher and click on the "My Stuff" tab, create a new reminder and train the voice model
Go to settings / apps / defaults and change the default assistant to Google Assistant Launcher
If the Assistant Launcher doesn't launch the Assistant, clear storage for the Google app and Google Play services and try again

Google app must have changed. Now what you wrote will bring up plain old voice search here...what version are you on?

So, I have Tasker and AutoVoice. I am running your (@DamienMc) "pixel experience" ROM for J320A with root and Xposed. When I try to enable AutoVoice's accessibility setting, it tells me "Universal switch does not support the current system language. The text to speak language will be set to English (United States), but this might cause unexpected behavior." I click Turn On, and then it says unfortunately, settings has stopped. This happens every time I try to enable any accessibility setting for any app. So please consider this in an update to your ROM.

The Assistant Launcher is working for me. However, pressing and holding the home button does not work.
I have Google Assistant on my phone and I installed it without rooting my phone I found the following video that shows you how to install Google Assistant on any Android phone without having to root the phone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSP6gICNfLY
Just install Google Assistant Launcher apk(180kb) and update Google Application to latest version.
Press and Hold home button, and voila Google Assisten Launched
How about the Assistant Enabler Xposed module? DamienMc added it to the J320A ROM. It works great
I think that's work.
Try ^^
Maybe i was trying the wrong app when I tried. Only one I see is 149kb

Redmi Note 7 - Microphone issues (PIE 10 rom)

Hello to everyone!
After installing the latest available official version of PIE 10 rom on Redmi note 7 i discovered that in messaging application s such as Telegram, Facebook messenger, Viber - main microphone is not working. Person cannot hear me but in normal calls everything is working fine.
On 4PDA was found a temporary solution which is useful but it doesn't help me to fix the issue.
Workaround is - turn off the access to microphone for Google application and reboot device.
Maybe anyone already facing the same issue and know another solution how to fix microphone issue ?
Thanks!
I got the same problem with the headphones mic but when i talk without headphones it works fine , but if turning off access to Google application fix it then good untill the next update
It is a beta ROM so expect more bugs in the future..
Solution founded.
I tried to play with Google application setting but before changing settings I remove (disable) application from Google play store, clean cache, reboot. Install application with last updates, turn on Google assistant and voice matching. (Google app - Settings - Google assistant - Assistant - My device (on the bottom of screen), Voice match - on.
