[Q] Google Now Not Working?? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got my nexus 5 and i dont see any settings for google now. i have tried using different accounts and clearing the data and cache also. Language is set to US english. Can someone shed some light on this? sorry if this has been covered in an other thread. couldn't find it here when i searched.
Thanks

My buddy had the same problem with his phone. I told him to factory restore and it worked right after that. He said he possibly skipped over something at the initial start up on the phone.

I have done a factory reset too. didn't solve the problem. when i clear data and cache and then access google search setting, for a brief moment the google now settings would be there and then they disappear and wont be seen.

Are you out of the us? I think it only works there.

You followed those steps exactly? Do you not get a screen asking you joing Google Now with an option saying YES I'M IN?

Sign out and sign back in then go to Google now. I had this happen when I first set up the phone.

I had this issue and realised that it was down to me not using WiFi during the initial setup on one of my nexus 5. For some reason it didn't ask me about Google now when using the mobile network to set up the phone.

yes i followed those steps to the letter. never got to the "yes i'm in" part. as i said before when i clear data in the google search app and then restart it, the settings showing google now and notification for google now appears for 2 or 3 seconds and then it go away. doesnt come back at all. dont know weather if this version of google search app thats the problem. there seem to be others experiencing the same thing on google products forum.

Longpress anywhere on homescreen -> settings -> language (or something) to toggle Google Now on and off.

I had this also but a reset solved the issue. Out if interest are you using a Google apps account or straight Gmail? Do you have another Gmail account to try it with?

I am using a gmail account. Haven't had this problem with it before. What's the difference between a gmail account and a Google apps account? Also I did try it with my work email which I think is a google apps account. And tried it with another gmail account too. Didn't work.

I have the same exact problem, I'm trying all the suggestions but no luck. On the first start it downloaded some 128MB update and then restarted, after that I ran through standard setup ,but no word about Google Now there.

I have the same problem...
google now works fine on my GNex and N7
Any solution?

Havent still found a solution to this. hoping to someone with more experience can shed some light on this problem. although it seems there is an update scheduled for google search on November 13th. maybe that will hopefully fix the issue.

Have the same problem here in Dubai with a Google Apps account.
Google Now was working on my S4 until fairly recently. Disappeared when I upgraded to 4.3 have not seen it since on my S4 and now the same issue on the Nexus 5. Symptoms exactly as you describe. Signing out and back in etc does not help.

[FIX] Google Play download/connection problems

Many people have been asking why Google play either fails to download apps or fails to connect at all, so here's a few things that might fix it!
1) Clear the Cache from Google Play in your settings.
(Settings > Applications > Google Play > Clear cache)
2) Try removing your Google account and re-adding it
3) Seems obvious, but try turning your internet of and on
4) Try rebooting your device
5) restart your internet (Through your main hub)
If non of these work, you may be best contacting Google to get it checked out!
Hope this helps

Also tried everything. Even complete uninstall of the play store through titanium backup and reinstall manually the apk. No luck. Internet working fine, only market is dead. The strangest thing is that it was working well, I did not modify anything, then it stopped working.
Please help
If you've tried everything above, you could try restoring your phone. This would be a pain but if you back everything up first shouldnt be too much of a problem. Or you could just leave it a week or so and see if it starts working . If not, I'd say contact Google.

That's the obvious last solution, but it doesn't really make sense. There must be a reason for the market to be doing this. I also tried manually installing a few different versions of the play store apk, not just the latest one. Still the same results.
I know what you mean. Maybe certain devices can sometimes have trouble accessing the market itself, or maybe its just a temporary thing with the Google servers.

1 more thing.
If you patched any app using lucky patcher, it would have created an odex file in data/app. In order to install it again, you should delete that .odex file.
Sent from my muffin LIFE! Under maintenance.!
I don't recall having used Lucky Patcher. Sadly I will never find out what went wrong. Flashed another rom. It was time for a change anyway
I will try this trick
I think also, if you install a ROM or have a device that does not come pre installed with Google play, that flashing Gapps may be better! Because I've tried manually installing the play store using an apk before. And most of the time it won't downloads apps. Try to flash Gapps as that may solve it. You can get gapps by searching for it followed by your android version on Google ^_^ good luck

I had a similar issue where my rommed kindle fire either couldn't connect or was unable to download apps from the play store. On connecting to the store the device details failed to register at all limiting greatly the available downloads.
Resolved the issue by using a gmail address for logging into the play store. For some reason using email other than gmail caused an issue.
Also removing/hiding unused devices in play store allows you to reconnect devices correctly it seems.

I think the registration process creates (or allows you to create) a gmail address but you can log into play store with the non-gmail address used to register. Unfortunately it seems doing so causes download problems.

Try using it with a gmail address then? Other than what I suggested I'm not sure to be honest. My last solution was to contact Google but they can't give a lot of support to custom ROMs.

I had this same problem with my LG Optimus V, famous for this kind of thing. The first time this happen, I clicked on settings, then Applications, then Manage Applications. Then clicked ALL, then Google Play Store. Then I clicked on Force Stop, then Clear Data, then Clear Cache. Then run Google Play Store and agree to terms. This always worked for me using Froyo 2.2.2 -- When that didn't work, I un-installed the updated Google Play Store and reverting back to the basic one.
Later on this problem happened again, but this time it was when I rooted and flashed a custom ROM. I started getting the error message the file didn't download, but this time it was also telling me the file couldn't download because of low memory. Go figure, Optimus V only have 256 megs of internal ram, but anything below 100 megs gives the the Google error. So just before tossing my phone in the trash I read a post somewhere here on XDA forum that showed step by step how to partition a microSD card and link the second partition as internal memory using an app called Link2SD.
So I tried it on a 16 GB card and after rebooting my phone, it fixed it. Never had the problem again. Plus my Optimus V thinks there is 1GB of internal ram now. Being most phones today have 1GB or more internal ram, there should be no reason for this kind of error.

Hey Guys,
Regarding the latest Play Store update there's this annoying new feature (I was hoping it was some kind of bug) that stacks any updated apps at the top of the "My Apps" list and I find it really annoying.
Is there any way of clearing them so they go back into the list ? Google Maps is still there from 2 days ago and now I have another stuck up there and it looks untidy.

This may or not help you, but give this a read:
http://www.guidingtech.com/16923/remove-apps-history-google-play-store/
From what I read so far, you need the updated Google Play App v3.9+ it gives you the ability to select which apps to remove from your "My Apps List" Hope this helps.

Google Play restore broken?

Hey ya'll. Did anyone try to log in to their Google account and none of the saved settings were synced by Google servers on first bootup? I'm coming from a Nexus 4 and none of my saved settings like default ringtones and last wallpaper are being saved after the initial setup process. Even the apps that I installed on my Nexus 4 were not restoring to the Moto G (not app data, just the apps via Google Play) while my Nexus 5 had no problems with syncing most of my settings. Anyone else?
And yes, I have everything that pertains to backup checked and they were checked when I went through the first bootup process.
Nobody is having this problem? Hmm. I guess I might as well look into a backup solution then.
I had this problem with the Play store apps I had installed on my previous phone.
I think it tried to download them but there was some error with all my (non-Google) apps during the download or during the install.
IIRC the google apps (GMail, Maps, etc) got updated OK though.
That whole process worked fine about a month ago with my Nexus 7 tablet.
Wasn't a big deal for me since I've got the 8GB model and so it's a good thing to not clutter my phone with apps I don't actually use/need.

Yeah I don't know why it won't update or install my previous apps if the backup feature is turned on initially. I'm guessing its a hit or miss from different devices. Shame.

Hmm, I have no clue why it's not working for me.
I really don't want to download 40+ apps individually, but using a backup solution doesn't seem bad either. I just wish Google's solution (which I always used) would work in this case.

[Q] RPC:S-3 error retrieving information from server

Hi all,
I am getting "rpc:s-3 error retrieving information from server" on every app when i try to download or update. I have tried clearing the data on play store, download manager, and google services and rebooting but it did not fix it. Has anyone found a fix for this?
I am on the stable release of 10.2 CM from Dec 2 and have the latest gapps.
Thanks
Anyone?
Try going Settings>Accounts>Google> Tap your account> Three dots in the upper right (or press menu button) "Remove Account" ... then readd your account .. then clear Play store cache and data and try it

No need to remove the Google account on this problem. It suffices to:
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All
Google Play Store -> Clear data
Google Service Framework -> Clear data
Reboot

Same here. I've had this issue for over 2 months now. Google keeps saying it is a "known issue" for some. I have tried absolutely everything possible. Everything. I get it on my GS4 and my Nexus 7. I can not download anything or update anything. This is becoming very very irritating.

works perfectly
turn off you internet
go to settings > application > select Google play store and Google play service > clear cache
then turn on the internet .
fixed
I've tried every suggestion out there (including those in this thread) for fixing the RPC:S-3 error and I haven't had any success. All apps install or update successfully except Flipboard, Gmail, Google Play Books and YouTube - they always get the RPC:S-3 error. The only other thing I can remotely think of is the fact that pertinent system apps aren't up to date or their versions aren't fully compatible with each other: Google Play Store 4.4.21, Google Play services 4.0.34 (924341-36) and Google Services Framework 4.3-757479.
Could that be the culprit? If so, how do I fix it? If not, any other ideas?
P.S. - Galaxy S III with Android 4.3
SOLVED!!! Finally! Not sure what the fix was exactly (since I tinkered with just everything in this session) but I think it was removing ALL Google accounts (I had 7 total) and possibly combined with toggling Sync and the clear cache & data trick. Here's everything I did:
Updated Google Play services to 4.1.32 (978161-36)
Updated Play Store to 4.4.22
Turned off Sync
Removed all 7 Google accounts
Cleared cache AND data for Google Play services, Google Play Store and Google Services Framework (I know the Google engineer said not to, but F it!)
Restarted the phone
Cleared cache AND data again for the aforementioned apps/services (I'm paranoid/anal)
Restarted the phone again
Turned Sync back on
Re-added just ONE Google account (my primary one)
Cleared cache and data again (told ya!)
Restarted the phone again
All the apps that were giving me the RPC:S-3 error have successfully updated/installed automatically. What a F'ing experience!
Well, 'til the next RPC:S-3 (or RPC:S-5:AEC-0) fiasco...
This is what i did and it fixed the issue.
Remove google account (all of them)
Un-install updates and cache what not
re-boot device.
Re add the account and don't update or anything yet.
Let your device sit for about 5 mins.
Download a random app from app store( don't update any other app yet)
after it's done downloading different app now you can update your apps
This method worked for me. Try it

[Q] Not sure why my Play Store country still Canadian one?

I have two emails with same address and informations, but my main one when I switch to that I don't see any of US's apps, but when I switch to the other one I can see all apps from US's store.
I tried clear my cache, remove and readd the address and still seeing the same?
If I don't login and try refresh playstore link I can see Pandora app but once I login then I don't see them anymore?
Anyone have the same problem here?
dont clear the cache, that does nothing. clear the data for the play store.

Sorry I meant Clear data and I also see that I have to accept the terms and services everytime when I launch Play Store app again but still not US's store?
Check here and make sure you have the proper country for your account. https://www.google.com/settings/language
See if that helps.
It used to be a little more straight forward before everything Google went Google+.

LanguageInput/Voice search/OK google detection
check all the 3 boxes and say ok google 3 times, click OK.
Just for info. After enabling OK Google everywhere you cannot record any sound using voice recorder as microphone stands by for any response from Google. There needs to be a kinda white list to exclude voice recorder. Maybe "ok Google for 3rd party activity" module (already available) be helpful in such case.
The problem that I don't have the 3 boxes I have only ok google from Google search app and I tried everything even ok google everywhere method ?
Your Google now hasn't been updated to latest version yet.

Sounds like you have the latest version. From what I understand, Google is activating ok google everywhere on an acct basis so that probably means you have not been selected yet. However, there is a workaround that you can try. Open the google now app and type in "ok google everywhere" on the search bar. This apparently activates it. Personally i haven't tried this method as i was activated before this workaround was posted.
Make sure you set language to English (US) in case you're using the UK version. Otherwise it doesn't work. Weirdly.

Try this, it worked with me:
1- Open google search app
2- type in : Okay Google Everywhere
3- Hit search
4- Hit menu key and choose settings, then choose voice, then choose OK Google word detection, you should find multiple options including "Ok google from any screen"
Best of luck

Ok I tried it but it didn't work even so I don't know what to do[emoji17]
I think there's a bug with the Google Search app, if you turn on the ok google on any screen the voice recorder app won't work ?

Just click on the 2nd option 3 or 4 times and you will be taken to google now app, there you will have to say ok google 3 times. And its done
