I'm at my whits end. My wife and I are both Google beta members. Same S7 Edge. Same version of the Google app and she has the customizable widget while I do not. I have tried everything. Uninstalling, updating, leaving and rejoining the beta, you name it. She did nothing. One day the three dot menu was there for her on the widget. I can't get it to happen on my S7 Edge.
Anyone else figure out how to make this happen? It's driving me crazy.

I heard its a very slow roll out (luck of the draw & youre unlucky).
Uninstall it then try this apk...if it's what you're looking for.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-search/google-search-7-14-15-release/
Update--tried it myself and it won't install. Even tried disabling it. I wonder if anyone with an S7 has got the update.

I got the update, but no three dots.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
I've tried installing APK's found on various sites that were supposed to install the widget but it just ends up being the same search widget. No three dots like my wife's. I don't understand how two people, in the beta program, with the exact same device and the exact same version (7.14.18.21.arm64), don't both have the same widget. This is bizarre.
try to clear the data and everything from the application, then choose to disable the application manager, restart
Then, enable and update the app

Don't really want to do that. I don't want to have to configure it all again with what I like to see cards wise within Now as well as anything with the Assistant. I shouldn't have to reset everything to get the same widget my wife got with the same version of Google, without doing any of that. There has to be something we're missing here.
I also want to know how to get the 3 dots. Seems like there's no known fix

Tried this. Doesn't work
I've had three Google updates since I first posted this and I STILL do not have the customizable widget. WTF is Google doing?
No one? Did anyone else get the newly updated customizable widget? I've tried everything again. Uninstalling, reinstalling from links at various sites. Removing from beta, adding back. This is very frustrating.
Search bar customization
Same issue my wife and I both S7 edge have the customisation of option but my friend did the same procedure and he has an updated app but no customisation option I don't know why Google is doing this
I've had many updates to the Google app since I first posted this thread. Still no customizable widget. I guess Google is never going to release it to some people for some bizarre reason. I don't get their thinking on this. Why give it to some, update others, but don't include the customization???
what is the customisable widget? can i see a screenshot? now i want it too!
Hey still nothing for me too bruh.I want it too Friend in work who has S8 already use rounded version :/ **** is not fair.Google probably releasing this very slowly.Se we have to wait dudes
Any update for this thread? I had that rounded widget until today because i had to factory reset my s7 edge for various reasons and after that, widget dont let me customize it anymore. I have all google apps up to date and I joined to beta test but still nothing... Now I have different 3rd party google search, but I want that original to work again.. :/
Yup, I finally received it months ago. Just took time to show up.

My google hangouts icon still uses the gTalk icon. I've tried uninstalling the app and then reinstalling it through play, but it still comes back with the Talk icon. I've also deleted cache and data for the app.

No. My nova Icon theme is set to default. But that got me thinking: I tried installing another launcher and it has the correct hangouts icon. So I uninstalled nova and reinstalled it, and it is working again. Not sure what the issue was there.
hangout sux....video call doesnt work on mine...if i uninstall updates i have no video camera to make a video call.
I just wanna chime in on the Hangouts bashing.... I can't believe how much they ruined this app.. I mean, instant messaging is pretty simple right? Why change it? Now sometimes I won't get an IM for 45 minutes, I can't see who's online, it FC's all the time... Crap crap crap. I restored my old TiBu backup of the original talk. If anyone else want's it let me know..

If your notifications are coming that late and you were getting a lot of FCs, I'm thinking it is a problem with your setup. I have had neither of those issues from the moment it updated and haven't really heard it from other people either. As far as online status, I'm a little split. I liked having it, but on the other hand, we don't have an online status for text messages either and we don't get riled up about that, so I am adjusting to just sending a message when I have one to send. If it is urgent and they don't reply I'll contact them a different way. I see no reason to roll back to talk.
no dice on this?

i think it may be something to do with us running custom roms

Same issue here on stock nexus 4, i uninstalled it with titanium but no change. Also it doesn't work, i tried to send an im from my girlfriends phone but i didnt received anything.
Using Nova, menu/nova settings/look and feel/icon theme/ choose default. That worked for me to change hangout icon.

My problem was from nova launcher, i had Talk icon in nova, but hangouts in trebuchet. Solution: reinstall nova and do a set everything manual, don't use backup or you will end up again with the talk icon.
Just long press the icon - edit - click the app icon, then choose another icon on Nova Launcher. Easy once you've done it once and know the trick.

It's not a problem with my setup. Talk works flawlessly.
The things is this isn't text messaging though. This is instant messenger. A completely different format. It's nice to be able to see who's online to talk and not otherwise engaged. You don't get that in text messaging.

The biggest issue I have, and maybe I'm just over looking it, but I can't change my status. I liked being able to be invisible like a ninja or busy if I didn't want to be bothered and so on. Running Goodness 10.0.3 if that means anything.
Optional Icon Solution
If anyone is looking to change the icon and happens to own tasker, it is a very easy fix. Just create a task to open hangouts and pick any icon you want. Then create an icon that simply runs the task. If you own the app, it should be pretty easy to figure out.
As the title asks. I have tried pushing the files to the system, but I the note 7 AOD will not work as is with our phone. Anyone know how to get this working for us? be sure to make a back up of original before attempting.
a little insite on what I have tried.
I have tried just replacing the files in the necessary folder under /data/app using root Explorer, then restarting the phone. this method just makes AOD crash and does not work at all.
I then restored the original AOD, then tried to just install the updated apk. This obviously did not work, the updated apk wouldn't install since it's a system file.
next I removed the folder com.samsung.android.app.aodservice-1 then created a new folder with the same name and put the updated files into ita do restarted the phone. this did not work either. same result as the first attempt. then I installed the new apk normally then restarted the phone. same result as the first attempt, but this time there were two folders for AOD. there was com.samsung.android.app.aodservice-1 and com.samsung.android.app.aodservice-2.
i have made sure the permissions are set correctly but still cannot get this to work. any ideas?
I'd wait a little while. They'll probably update the AOD on the S7 after they launch the Note.
I'm pretty sure this version of AOD is dependent on the new version of TouchWiz
Maybe there are new updated AOD services on the Note, the lack of it maybe letting not it run on the S7...
I mean regardless we will get the update adding new features.(I hope xD b/c Samsung hasn't been listening to its customers lately)

we will more than likely get an update with the new AOD service, but the real question is when? With the note 7 being new I don't see us getting this any time soon. I hope I am wrong though.

So as soon as I got home and connected to my WiFi, the new aod we pushed to my phone from the Galaxy App Store.
Just found that AOD is set up for notification permission. Be sure to enable that and let me know if you notice any new notifications on the lock screen.

I have been using Nova across many versions/devices, including Mate 9 since US release. Today I retried ADW Launcher 2, though I don't know how/why it had anything to do with it.
I noticed my Mate 9 Camera icon was the little green android icon, with app name com.huawei.camera. Hmmm. Same across Huawei, Nova, or ADW launchers
Finding no separate camera app other than that, let's try to take a picture. Nothing. Icon clicks delays a second and stays on the homescreen. Nothing.
Now I can't see any apk or way to update/re-add the app. Can't seem to even have a 3rd party app work.
Help
I would like to help but the only way is to flash full rom, and since that is not possible till now so the only option you have is to use funkyhuawei.
Or give it to your service center if the device still under warranty, they have offline package that can be flash it manually

No, it doesn't work for the US ROM yet. If you want to use it on a US device, you'd have to rebrand.
In the upcoming weeks support for the US version will be added, but we need to wait for Huawei to release a US firmware full update before that can happen.

Hi all,
I have a couple of strange issues using Google calendar on my HTC u11.
1.
When a press new event button I see a 'flat' interface instead of classic one.
See screenshots attached please.
On my Nexus 7 (same accounts, same calendars, same application version) all appear normally.
2.
I cannot swipe to delete event. Swipe gesture doesn't work.
On my Nexus works perfectly.
I tried of course to clear calendar data, install fresh but nothing.
Latest Google calendar version installed of course.
Recently updated ota 1.27 but the same.
Anyone is experiencing same issued?
Thx
Not sure what you mean by flat interface, however just created an event and can swipe to delete and short swipe to tap trash can to delete. Both ways work just fine. Im on Sprint 1.28. and latest as well.
All works normal for me. Leedroid.

I will change calendar app awaiting a fix ever if it's a Google calendar bug in some situations
After a lot of experiments, finally I discovered what is causing the issue.
It's an app called Nougat Quick settings: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.simonesestito.ntiles
It need accessibility permissions to allow it to create custom tiles in the quick settings bar.
I have contacted app developer that confirms this bug.
Once disabled accessibility permissions, Google calendar works fine but custom tiles stop working.
I hope this is useful to others having similar issues.
BTW Ty all for your support.

You can get custom tiles with shortcutter by @LeeDroid mate. Try it out. It doesn't interfere with any other App like GCalendar

You are not alone. I started having the same problem (occasionally) since the latest system update (December 5, 2019). Plus apps no longer auto-update (never), even when I am on Wi-Fi. None of that was an issue prior to mentioned update.
For weather not showing I suspect app gets "power-optimized".
For app auto-update not working - there are multiple reports for that over the past year for Pixel and other phones with no clear solution. I tried clearing Storage and Cache for Google Play Services but it didn't help.

just checking that you have given google app location permission and location is on.
another thing is i'm also using nova launcher in a very minimal way but that might have something to do with it.
i discovered by searching that it's a pretty common issue. but if it's something you want and you can have it by using a different launcher try out a different launcher for a week, maybe. good luck in finding a solution.

I found the solution. I'm on basic phone launcher ( no launcher installed or rooting done).
Just enable location on and go to your Google account and turn location history on.
Then restart with location turned on.
It's there now.
Found sort of a solution
It isn't the best solution, but it works (at least for me it does). I found that if I put another at a glace widget on another screen (so there are 2 now, one on my home screen, one on another), it works and shows weather on both. If I remove it, the weather goes away again.. Hoping this is some sort of clue to get this fixed permanently.
