Cannot Permanently Disable SafeSearch on Google Now App?? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

In the Google Now app, I went to Settings -> Accounts & privacy, and I disabled the SafeSearch option, however whenever I search for anything that is NSFW, I get the following result in the All, Videos, & Images tabs: "Your search - lesbian porn - did not match any documents/video/image results" (see attached).
I get this only on my new GS7 Edge (Android Marshmallow, non root) & it doesn't matter if I'm on my home WiFi or 4G LTE w/ Verizon. I only have this issue on my phone. My other devices using the same Google account do not have this issue, including my Surface Pro 3, Toshiba Laptop, my GS6 Edge (Android 5.0.1), or anyone else's device in my house for that matter.
I can still search for NSFW stuff using Google in my Chrome app or Firefox. So what gives?? I need the quick access using the Google Now app!! Lol
Edited: fixed typos.

Lol

Try this search instead: "sex addiction clinic". It should work.

This is too funny lol

Dont have that one
Is there any chance this happens because i'm not from the US? im from latin america
if so any way i could get it?
I doubt this will work in Latin America. I saw a pulled apk of this somewhere in the forums.
You could sideload it probably without issue but hen Google would see your IP and likely tell you it isn't supported.
Its no big deal anyway.
Sound hound , shazam, etc... same type.

They've changed name. I remember downloading GoogleEars.apk few months back on here. When I googled it, I got sound search instead. It can't recognize humming or things that you sing to it. Still using SoundHound.
It's there but you need to use Titanium Backup to defrost it - and again after every reboot.
seems that i'll need to buy shazam, thanks anyways

I found Google Ears / Sound Search to be way quicker than Shazam.

Constant Network Errors on the new Facebook app

For some reason the new Facebook app is giving me a Network Error message, even though the connection is fine. I have a S3, but it doesn't seem to be affected.
Here is a post I found about the issue:

I have had the same thing happen to me on my N4 and N7!! However, when I was getting the network error, I was using a verizon mifi hotspot. I tried uninstalling FB then re installed it, but it kept happening. However, when I took it home and was on tmobile's hspa+ network, I didn't really have any issue.

I am also having this issue. FWIW: Nexus 7 8GB

I'm on the GS2 and i'm having the same problem as well. Each new updates hasn't done a thing to fix this issue...
I get it on my phone and my Nexus, I think it is more of a problem with the app
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
i have the same problem. the new facebook app (version 2.0) always says network error. galaxy note, ICS4
In the gs2 forums, we decided it was caused by ad blockers. Is everyone here using one? It seems like the problem is fixed for me though.

Just go to settings in AdWay > Your List > and uncheck graph.facebook.com
What worked for me was to log out of Facebook book, reboot, log in to Facebook. I haven't had a problem since with it.

Me too.
I had the same problem on my Defy & my S3. So I downloaded a app called FriendCaster. Works very well. I saw some other 3rd party apps too. Might help.

AT&T Scanner

It's crazy, I have an Impulse 4G (Huawei U-8800) from AT&T and Play won't let me get the free AT&T barcode scanner that works really well for me. It's a free app and I managed to find an old version that works well but I would like to upgrade since mine is two versions old.
I guess there's no way to fool Play into thinking I have something else is there? I've searched all over the place and every link points back to Google.

Thanks, that was actually the first thing I tried. It goes through the motions but after it finishes and I log back into Google, it still shows me having the Huawei. I tried it using all three of the devices offered and no change. I did send a feedback email from the app. It was worth a shot though.

Restart phone after applying

That didn't work either, but I used APK Leech to get it and sideloaded. I put in the device # for my Samsung Tab which the app really won't work on that well, but is compatible....go figure.

Guest wifi sign-in with 4.3

While I'm at work I constantly get kicked from the wifi server and I am forced to go to the landing page and tick a box to sign in again...
After doing some research, this is something Samsung did on the 4.3 update. Most apps will not work with Sammy so I was wondering if there is a xposed module or another work around?
Thanks for your help

Try to re-update software. Sometimes its helps
Try deleting your wifi connection on the phone and recreate. Sometimes fixes the problem.

I've tried both. From what I read, it's something Samsung did with a 4.3 update. There are apps that take care of the sign in page for you, but all of them call out Samsung for enabling this feature and they will not work.
Thanks for the help though.

AT&T Internet Forwarding

I haven't had an AT&T branded phone in a very long time. So I don't really have much experience with all the crap they do to our phones.
I noticed that when I open chrome, for a split second i see an AT&T URL and then it opens the Google search page. I checked the Google site certificate and they aren't intercepting the SSL connection. Other than tracking the page, I'm not sure what they would be doing. Anyone else notice this on their phone?

Chrome has a default home page of home.att.com which just forwards to google.com. Just change the home page to google.com or whatever else you want.

Thanks that was it. I've never had to change that before since I was using unlocked devices.

I don't really get why they do that. Fortunately it's an easy fix.
I didn't even notice the behavior until you pointed it out here.
