Hi there,
I am from China and before getting my nexus 5 I owned a galaxy nexus, in which Google now works well just when phone is switched into En-US.
Now for nexus 5 this does not work.
someone uses a AT&T SIM card to enable google now.
some turns the phone into airplane model, turns off location and connects to VPN network to enable it.
Some says "Ok Google" then follow the instructions to enable it.
It seems that all these does not work for me, is there a easy way to enable Google now.
Regards

What worked for you? I had to uninstall Google search with titanium backup, install Google search 2.6, enable google now, then update to the latest version of search to have google now enabled in China. This is kind of annoying though as you can't flash otas if you do this because it modifies some system files. If you do my method you'll have to reflash the system image to update manually. So I'm wondering if you could share your method here.
Thanks!
sorry, I forgot posting, I just did the same as you did.

1-you need a proxy(Fqrouter or GAE)
2-install Market Unlocker
3-run Market Unlocker and select Enable Unlocker and Auto Unlock(You should already be connected to another market)
4-If you dont have Google Experience Launcher，then install it
5-Clear data of Google Search app and Play Store
6-Long press on the screen until the settings toggle of the laucher appears
7-Select settings
8-By now you should be able to activate Google Now.Done
I hope this has been helpful.Cheers

This problem is starting to get really annoying. Recently i did a clean flash of cataclysm with code blue kernel, and i remember even on stock lollipop on my other nexus 5, there were no gps issues. This is an RMA unit which i have had for a little over a month now and today i desperately needed GPS cause i was lost...literally.
With 4g and gps it couldnt find me...crap
I have done everything, booted in safe mode, tried calibrating gps, rebooting, reinstalling google maps, everything. Every gps fixing app knows my exact location within seconds of turning on gps. literally, i live out in the country where there aren't many obstacles to obstruct the gps, im in my basement with 2 floors on top of me and STILL those apps find my location no problem. But GOOGLE ****ing MAPS cant find me! Its specifically google maps, everything else uses gps just fine.
any ideas what on earth to do?
I called google and they just offered to replace it. And i desperately dont want to go through that hassle again.
EDIT:
What ive done so far
1. tried safe mode and safe mode recalibration
2. tried factory reset
3. tried reflashing rom and kernel
4. flashing kitkat modems
5. using gps fixing apps
fixed it.
in App Ops on cataclysm rom i enabled location for oogle play services.
It looks like the issue is in play services and not gps

In my ROM, I have option to control each apps individual permissions. (I think you can get "app ops" with xposed. Its built into cataclysm ROM).
I simply went to 'android system' and 'google play services' and enabled location access.

Thanks for your reply, this afternoon I tryied to flash the original SW and hope that this operation can solve my problem...
I'm not an expert and I prefer to use the original ROM, however I've all the option for the geolocation access available and setting on "YES"

Idk google should replace it no questions asked. I'd call them first.
Let's brainstorm! So my theory is definitely that Google turned that feature off server side. This is why factory resets change nothing. When Google services reads our phone it detects its a galaxy s6 and deactivate the service. Is there a way to trick Google services into thinking it's a note 4?
Thread moved to proper forum.
Round 1 goes to google! Changed the build prop to the vz note 4. Did nothing. Downgraded google. Nadda.
May I ask what you mean? OK Google works flawlessly on my phone.

Same here. Some settings were removed a few weeks ago, but I can OK Google from the homescreen, with apex at least, haven't tried the stock launcher but I assume it would function the same if not better.

Ok Google used to work from any app about a month ago.... Now it will only work from home screen or inside the Google now app
....
yea google works perfectly on my phone
So basically the issue I am experiencing is my JY-UL128N2 doesn't allow me to setup "Ok Google Everywhere" or basically allowing Ok Google from outside of the Google App. Is there any way to fix this? I really want Ok Google to work outside of the google app so I can talk to my radio and initiate commands while driving.
I attached images of my settings menu and the lack of Ok Google on any screen settings.
Does anyone know at all or has anyone else experienced this issue or am I the only one?
I noticed the same thing. I assumed it was because it's a version of Google Now for Intel, but I didn't investigate it further. Let us know if you find a solution.

It appears that this is the solution for now:
http://forum.carjoying.com/thread-218-stop-voice-inputgoogle-app-from-crashing.html
Have you tried this? Given the date of the post, I doubt it's for an Intel unit. It might not make any difference. However, the problem we're having isn't that Google voice input is crashing, but that the version of Google we have can't enable OK Google from any screen. Otherwise it seems to work fine for me.

The "Extra Credit" part applies to this issue..but no havent tried it yet.. Not sure if this will fix the issue or not...I'm kind of thinking that it won't.
Extra Credit
When you install 3.6.16, you'll find that it doesn't support OK Google except when it's in a Google app (such as Maps). Here's what I did to fix it, but I haven't tried to reproduce this to make sure these steps are absolutely essential.
1) Do all of the above steps, except you'll want to skip step 2, turning off the auto update.
2) Once you've installed 3.6.16, it'll work for some time, but at some point, Google Play will update it.
3) After Google Play updates it, do step 2 (turning off auto-update) and then repeat steps 5 and 6. At the end, you'll be back on 3.6.16, except now you'll have more options for Voice Search, including turning on Ok Google for any screen.

Google App broke it on the last update. You can check by uninstalling the Google App on the watch. It will uninstall the updates. Test to see if "OK Google" works.
I have same issue: ok google hotword is not working...tried changing language (i'm italian )resetting watch and also phone...downgrading google app, setting all authorization on...nothing worked...can someone help?
Smells like a temporary fix for the slowdown caused by ok Google, deactivate it ??
Had the same problem. Deleting cache and data of Google app on the watch worked for me. OK google finally works, but I cannot send WhatsApp messages via ok Google. After a reset it's possible but only for a few hours. Strange.
I had an update for Google few minutes ago. Try to install it and check it out later.
Hey folks, since the oreo update I lost any hotspot or tethering in my s7 edge.
I was really frustrated about it. I went into research about the topic and I didn't find any solution for my issue. After watching a couple of videos on YouTube, the result was the same , but I got an idea and turned out working
Steps:
I download an app in playstore which is quickshort maker.
2 - once you got the app , click on it and write hotspot , you will get two options service mode and settings. Select settings
3- after selecting setting , it will give three options , select the second one, setting hotspot.
4- then you will get some options that doesn't really matter just click on try and the option of hotspot will launch.
Sorry for any inconvenience with my telling , this is the first time I'm writing something here or in any place. I hope it can work for you.
No sucess i have same problem with yours and tried your method .. when i click try its only shows blank screen.

Hello there , it seems to me that you chose the wrong option in the process.
It has to be the option option the one that only shows mobile hotspot.

I have tried to made a shortcut but nothing seems to work. So , you will have to make the process or you add that shortcut to your favorites inside the app.
It looks like sprint disabled the option from the setting in oreo. I guess they don't want us to tethering. Best of luck. I'm happy is working for you as well.

1 install Shortcut Creator from Google Play store
2 open the app and in shortcuts select application
3 search settings then click on it
4 check the smart shortcut if your on samsung touchwiz important if your on touchwiz
5 under app activity click on it and while scrolling down search for Hotspot
6 change the name to Hotspot

And done if you followed the steps correctly Hotspot Should be on your home screen
