Google Now Crashing - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating to Jelly Bean Google search (or Now) stopped working, it would show the results if I search for something and then it crashes right away before I have a chance to do anything. It was suggested that I would download the offline voice recognition data but I don't have that option under setting.
Anybody else having those issues?

Exact same problem on Galaxy S-II. Tried reinstalling CM10 and also tried installing another build but no go.

It will be there under language and input -> "speech" section select option "voice search" and in the new window that opens there should be four options. Last option will be "download offline speech recognition" select it and from the next window download the voice data and everything should work..

I already have English (US) data downloaded. What could be the issue then?

Well, once I too faced that issue so I deleted that voice data and again downloaded it and that fixed my problem.
But more importantly I wipe all data when flashing new ROMs. Like after 3 successive normal flash for the fourth one I wipe user data and restore my apps from TB. That avoids most of these problems for me

Fixed it!! Under "Phone Search", you'd need to disable one (or more) options in order to make it work correctly. For me, it was Google Chrome. Its working fine now.

Might be that. At work now, but it'll still work properly right? What's different from unchecking it?

It didn't auto-sign me into Google accounts when it was checked, so unchecking it hasn't done anything except stop irritating me...

Trouble opening Maps app from browser

I have a unique issue after upgrading to ICS on my HTC sensation. Whenever I search a address on my browser and click on the address for directions, it opens up the google maps on my browser rather than the "Maps" app on my phone.
This is really annoying as I want to use the navigation tool through my google maps app. It used to be okay before ICS.
Any help or ideas will be really appreciated.
Try clearing the default settings.

I have already tried it but didn't help. I have checked the settings on my default HTC browser and maps both.
whats that an offical upgrade or a root update on here, if it is official try a system reset, if it is from a rom on here, email the author who created it and they maybe able to help, when i had problem either on a rooted and unrooted phone, the system factory restore always solved the problem, just remember to backup all your settings for your app before you do it, as once you do that there is not way back, until someone going to tell me other wise i hope i could help

Can't click on "Install" when trying to install apks

I been trying to search for this problem everywhere but can't come up with a solution for my skyrocket. When trying to install out of market apks I can't click on "install" when in the android installer screen. I can click on cancel but nothing happens when I press on install. Installing apps through google play works fine. When I searched for this problem on google/XDA the common problem seemed to be a third party dimmer app which I don't have. I have very little third party apps. Most are the basic google apps. I'm running CM10 12/28 nightly with apex launcher on AT&T.
I tried rebooting the phone multiple times. I tried stopping multiple running programs. I even disabled jelly bean's dimmer function, but no results.
Here is a list of all my downloaded apps.
Accuweather
AdAway
Adobe AIR/Reader
Angry Birds
Animated weather
Apex Laucher
Apollo
Battery Mix
Brain Age
Google Drive
Dropbox
Facebook
Flashcards+
Gmail
Google Goggles
Google Play Music
Google Play Store
Google Search
Gtasks
JeFit
Jellybean HD
Juice Defender Ultimate
Maps
Facebook Messenger
myAT&T
Rom Manager
Snapchat
Sound search for google Play
SoundHound
SpeedTest
Street View
Temple Run
Twitter
Visual Voicemail
Youtube
Zedge
This is really getting annoying...
Is installing third party apps enabled?

In settings, security are you allowing unknown sources?

Sorry I forgot to include that, yep it was one of the first things I did.
Then I guess use a root file explorer and copy the apps to /data/app then reboot to recovery fix permissions and enjoy

I'm using ES file explorer but I can't find data/app. Under the data file I get this:

You gotta go to the root. Backup a level twice.
Your in /sdcard/data
You needs /data
Its a root level file.

Sorry I'm a noob, how do you "fix permissions" when you're in recovery?

So the android package installer still doesn't work but for some reason the ES file explorer's own installer does. I was finally able to load the apk. ES is so much better than the CM10 file explorer. I'm glad I downloaded it. It's still annoying having to use ES every time I want to download a non-market apk but I guess it will do for now. Also it always goes to android package installer when trying to update non market apps which is pretty annoying. Any ideas as to why the android package installer still isn't working?
Thanks for your help.

Honestly, sounds to me like maybe you have another app that's set as default for APKs. I would go through Settings>Apps>All and try to identify an app that looks like it may be responsible for handling APK files and clear the defaults on it. Maybe a virus scanner?

I don't have a virus scanner. There aren't really any other apps that look suspicious to me. I really have no idea.

Don't get hung up on the virus scanner part of the previous post. Go to Settings > Apps > All and click on Package Installer. See if there's any data, cache, or defaults you could clear for it. Then you could always try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery along with the fixing of permissions as suggested.

There was no data, cache or defaults to clear. Tried wiping cache and dalvik and fixed the permissions again. Package installer still doesn't let me click on "install". THIS IS SO ANNOYING.

Yep, rooted running recent CM10 nightlies.
there is an app that is preventing the installer from running, by looking at your list of installed apps start turning off juice defender, battery mix or any other bat app, if not those ones then its an app thats running, so you need to do it one by one and see which app is preventing the installer from running,
I believe this has something to do with apps that use a screen overlay. For me, it was screen filter that would block the button. As soon as I disabled, it was good.

Battery Mix was the culprit good call vincom. I'm surprised though never had this problem before I rooted, must have something to do with Jelly Bean. It's too bad I really like Battery Mix too. I don't understand why this happens.

[Q] Google Search not finding installed apps

Greetings,
Google Search no longer finds applications on my device.
When I tap the magnifying glass shortcut key, the familiar search window opens. If I type "calc," several search suggestions and several of my contacts appear, but the calc app does not.
I can scroll to the bottom of the found contacts and tap, "Search phone." When I do, another window opens, with a slidable bar across the bottom which says, "Web, Images, Places, More ..." and "Phone" is highlighted in red, but no results for "calc" are found.
When I open the drawer and use GoLauncher's search, the calc app is found immediately.
Why is this happening? It used to work.
Thank you!
My phone is an E4GT running stock 4.1.2 with Google Search v2.6.7.721924.arm. I'm not running Now.
Hi probably "cache file cleaner app" will fix your problem

Hello,
I am having the same problem And whatever you are saying is 100% correct.. It you searched any damn app from that Google Search bar, You could get that App in results.. Not just system apps!
I thought this could be because of some third party app so I booted my Note II into safe mode and checked.. But still does not show any apps.. SO I guess problem might me with the Search itself..
I am trying to get the core of the issue and would like some details about your phone like:
1. Do you use any optimizer or Cache cleaner? If yes, How regularly do you use it? ( I use one called Clean master and I clean the cache once in about 15 days)
2. How many app are there on your mobile approximately? (I have about 240)
Otherwise our phone is in identical state.. Also if you have already found the solution, please lemme know.
Cheers
EDIT:
Never Mind I found the solution and it works for me at least. Go to settings and then Applications.. GO to Google Search (The one with the blue icon) and select it.. Force stop the app and then clear data... Restart the app and VOLLA it is showint the apps too :victory: :victory:
If I helped, dont forget to say thanks
Cheers
