I downloaded and installed Nougat (UK BTU version) on my S7 today. Generally very pleased but one immediate disappointment. Search Result pages from the Google App no longer appear in the Recent Apps/Multitasking (button to left of home button).
In Marshmallow I could always go back to a Google App Search Results page via Recent Apps. Thus if I wanted to check the next result on the page I did not have to repeat the search. Before I discovered this in Marshmallow I found the Google App very frustrating.
Has anyone else observed this? Is there any setting to reverse this (a vain hope I suppose)? If this thread should be elsewhere or I have missed another relevant thread please let me know. Thanks. PLEASE IGNORE; SEEMS TO BE WORKING OK NOW
Please ignore the above. It has since started to work. If a moderator wishes to delete this thread feel free; I don't seem to be able to find a way myself.
Having the same issue.
I'm experiencing the same issue. Did you do anything to try to fix this or did it just start working randomly?

For some reason today, when I type a search query or URL in the address bar in Chrome, no predictions are coming up. I have the 'Search and URL suggestions' box ticked in settings/privacy.
I tried switching the search engine to Yahoo instead of Google and started getting suggestions again, but I much prefer the suggestions that Google makes. I've tried restarting my phone, clearing data from Chrome in Apps, Force closing Chrome, uninstalling updates to Chrome etc. Nothing.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get address bar predictions to come back?
Thanks
Same issue here.

I've got the same issue too, and just noticed this today! But I have an HTC One M8 (AT&T version).
See my Google product forums post about this:
https://productforums.google.com/fo...e=footer#!msg/chrome/xTTHziAr1C0/9b7w4CHSiQYJ
Maybe if others reply to my thread on there (stating that you also have the problem) Google will take notice of it?
Interestingly the search suggestions *do* show up if I use Google Now or Firefox or default HTC browser, or pretty much in any other app (even Google Play) that uses Google search. Just not in Chrome (any more).
As my thread says, it *used* to work in Chrome just fine. If I try to "uninstall" Chrome, meaning roll it back to the oldest default version that came with the phone, then Google search suggestions again work just fine. But then soon Chrome auto-updates and it doesn't work again.
So… since I'm not the only one experiencing this, I'm thinking that a recent Chrome update must have caused this, in which case a lot more people should be noticing it soon… I hope. I'm not sure when the latest Chrome update was, or if this only effects certain devices, or what.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, please share!
thanks

Mine seems to work fine... Unfortunately too fine. My "bad" sites are showing up as history items when I clearly used them incognito...

Has anyone managed to figure out what's causing this? I posted on the nexus 5 reddit and it seems a couple of other people are also having the same issue.

So I looked further into it, and it's "Google Instant" and apparently it'snot working on a bunch of phones, including the LG G2... I can't tell if its an LG thing or Android thing. Apparently Chrome Beta has this issue as well... but not on my Chrome Desktop
Can confirm this started happening to my phone too. Seems to be a problem with clearing history too. Weird.

Ah is it all phones or just a few models?
Same issue here. Not exactly sure when it stopped working...
I get this to. I think it started last night. If i uninstall and go back to the preinstalled chrome found in kitkat 4.4.2 it works fine. Or if I switch to bing as search engine It will work.
trying to google it I'm not getting too much for this. So I'm thinking it might be just us 4.4.2 users???
Hope it gets fixed soon
I thought it was only me. Spent an hour or so trying to figure it out. Hopefully gets sorted out soon.

I too am having similar issues and can't find a single suggestion that fixes the problem. When I type in the address bar, auto suggestions do appear, but they are only from my search history and bookmarks. None of them are search suggestions like when using google.com.
I did follow the instructions provided to enable Google Suggestions in the address bar, then use Ctrl+K to place the cursor in the Omnibox to conduct a search, and begin to enter query you will receive query suggestions. That is, when Google.com is the default search engine.

Thanks for the advice. I think you're referring to the desktop browser whereas we are all referring to the Chrome browser on the Nexus 5.
My search predictions seem to be back again which is good. Has anyone else got theirs back?
Mine's working again.
[SOLVED -- Thanks Google :^).]
Confirmed… Google fixed this! :^)

hi all. ive recently updated google chrome to the last version and i am unable to disable the annoying suggested content on chrome
the older method was to disable the 2 flags
chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-popular-sites
chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-snippets
but now after the update no option is there to disable the snippets flag
is there a method to disable this after the update. in the meantime ive reverted back to the. previous chrome version as i find the suggested content annoying. thanks

I have found this:
reddit DOT com/r/chrome/comments/67ndux/help_bookmarks_and_recent_tabs_buttons_gone_in/
google replies it's permanent, bunch of idiots
link
please reply on that forum you don't agree with this
I was also getting annoyed with unwanted junk as suggested content. Tried above options too. The first one about popular sites is still available at the time of posting this reply but that disables only dumping on new tab what is perceived as popular site at Google end.
I got rid of suggested content permanently by signing out of Chrome (Android) and by disabling couple of things under Settings - Privacy. 1. Search and site suggestions and 2. Use a prediction service to load pages quickly. Prepared myself to face slow loading, extra typing, etc rather than having disgusting unwanted junk...in my case in India - Bollywood crap.
setting "show popular sites"...... to DISABLED, did not fix anything for me. suggested articles are still here.
but i find another solution!!!
TESTED SOLUTION FOUND BY ME.
go to the "show server-side suggestions on the new tab page"
and set it to DISABLED.
that's all, now when you swipe up you will no more see Suggested Contents , but only an odd square image with a blue tree on a blue meadow XD XD
THANKS ME if it works for you, so also other people can understand if my solution is completely working (tested on chrome play store of 4 september, the latest till today)

Correct, lol. You did take the time to test and find a solution, so I think it's worth it to bump up your answer. And I click on search results from xda a lot, but never really got around to opening an account. Thanks for the opportunity I guess.
Hi, i found out something in Android (Oreo now) that disturbs me a bit : it's basically an history of which app you opened and when. Even uninstalled apps appears. I stumbled upon this while trying to add some desktop shortcut with "Nova Launcher Activities", it appeared under "Settings". I'm sure there are other log like this though. I wasn't able to find more about it using Google. DO NOT DELETE this post : i think i already posted but it appears nowhere. Hopefully some people have knowledge about this.
Thread are going down quickly here!

Hi, I used to be able to capture (Screen Shot) a page I was on, and it also grabbed the Web Site address I got it from and attached it into a Text or Forum Post I would be posting or using. I didn't download any particular app to do this, it was something that was Stock. I can't seem to find this feature anymore for some reason. This feature might not be suitable to most, but for me, at certain times, it was very beneficial. Does anyone know of the setting or app that did this?
I was not rooted when I did this, nor am I now.
Samsung Galaxy S8+ for AT&T
EDIT: I searched for days for my answer, only After I posted this post, I was able to find my answer. It's the Android Operating System Screenshot tool But for anyone else that wants this feature, you need to open up Google Search & go to your Google Settings, Then go to General, then down to Edit & Share Screenshots.
about 3 days ago i updated to the december security patch, and after that update i think the pixel visual core has stopped working on third party apps like instagram and snapchat. I saw a guy complaint the same on twitter. i tried uninstalling the pixel visual core then reinstalling it and rebooting the device. it worked fine but then suddenly again it stopped working. How can this issue be resolved?
please use the search function on www or xda. again , as i just posted moments ago for someone else ; i found the solution in about 1-2 minutes. good luck

I'm sorry what do I have search for exactly to find the solution??
use key words like your title (thats what i used anyway). "pixel visual core services stops working on pixel 2 XL" either on www or the pixel 2XL forum here on xda (if you go to the "all devices" forum you'll be able to find the thread for your device).
also maybe downgrade from the update you took until you can find an answer.
just read there is an update for it in the playstore. so that might help also.
Same here, Visual core has stopped working after this latest update and Social Media Images have lost quality, couldn't find a solution either.
Please help
Only works while charging
One thing I've noticed is that the processing on the social media apps are only being done while charging the device.
Try it yourself, close the application from the task manager, then plug in your device and then open instagram or snapchat.
I am currently in touch with a google support executive for this issue, will post here if it gets resolved.
