Hey all, I know a lot of you were complaining about how slow Google Now is when you open it, and I actually found how to speed it up quite a bit. First, load up Google Now and go into Settings > Voice > Hotword detection and uncheck it. I guess if it doesn't have to 'listen' for you to say Google it will initialize MUCH faster. Hope this helped.
Cool...
Dramatically faster...
Not that i like to use it,,, but i do accidently hit it a lot,,, ,,, so now i can at least exit out faster!
Sent from my swagger
This helps even when Now is turned off. I never use it, just regular Google search, and even that started really slow. But if u uncheck the hotword box, it makes regular search load faster too. Thx yo!!

Well that was a helpful tip! Thanks!
EDIT: Also, I've noticed that unchecking the "block offensive words" box makes text entry within Google Now less laggy.
EDIT2: Nevermind, I think that was just a placebo effect.
Thanks a lot for this

When i install apps from computer its not installing in mobile but installing when i install through phone.. Now how to resolve this problem.??
Thanks !!! helped the loading a lot
I don't use Google Now but this was a very helpful tip. Always up for extra speed even if its just a little bit
Thank you so much for this. I disabled Google Now for a while because of how laggy it was. Who knew it was because of one simple check -_-
Thanks
I was afraid I'd have to disable Google Now, but when I made the suggested change, my free memory went from 20mb to 120mb and so far the phone is back to its old speed.

Mine does the same thing. After it updated to Jellybean it appears as a different phone to the Google play Store (this is according to Google Support). If this is what has happened to you, when you go to install from the computer you should be able to pick from a couple of different phones both with the same name over where it says that the app is compatible with your phone. Even though it may show 2 phones and especially if it doesn't, the Play Store through the computer does not recognize your phone. If you use it from the phone it is connected and has no problem. Google informed me that they cannot delete any device from your account once it is there. So when I got a warranty replacement I now have both listed under their different IMEIs. Then when you do a complete upgrade like JB, it no longer sees the phone. I don't know what it uses to find the phone, but whatever it is it cannot locate it after the update and thus you have to use the phone to do any install of an app from the Play Store.
Now I can't say this is your problem, but this is what happened to me and I talked to Google Support to find out everything I have told you. Maybe one day they will take into account major updates and make it so that they can locate your phone for an install when using the computer. Until then I have to use the phone to install anything.

Issue [SOLVED] > market > search results found doesn't equal search results shown.
Hello fellow's
Have you guys noticed that since the new android market came upon us, that there is troublesome to not say impossible to find some applications using the search function.
For instance, if I search "mario"; I will have 3 apps showing. All though the top bar says it found over 2000 results. Nevertheless I would not be able to download or even have these results displayed for me.
It's probably worth mentioning that I'm not the only one that having this issue. I've noticed that ALL phones have the same issue as I do. Some of these different phones have custom kernels and custom roms, but not all. So there's no need for searching error in roms, phones, etc.
I have successfully uninstalled NEW Android Market from my phone and restored the OLD android market.
It works just fine as it displays all search results that are found.
Yet the problem remains since google has arranged a silence update of market. Within 30 minutes I have the new market once again installed.
* Is there any solution?
* If not, is it possible to turn off silent updates?

"It F***ing prints money!"
Me too i have problem with market from XDAndroid it doesen't show all application : /
My guess is that everyone are having the same experience. Although I don't think too many are aware of this, rather major, bug.
To clarify for those who still doesn't have a clue of what I'm talking about:
Pay attention to the top bar where the search hits are stated. Remember this number of found apps. Compare this to how many apps you REALLY are shown. Shouldn't be too many scrolls until you reach rock bottom. XD
Also.. Let us try to exclude that this hasn't got anything to do with any regional restrictions of any kind, by stating our nationality, carrier, brand of phones/tablets, custom/stock rom and the current status of the search function in android market, at the beginning of our first posts in this thread. I'll probably be first one out to do this.
For all your convenience; just copy/paste the template below:

"It f***ing prints money!"
When you do a search in the new market only a few apps show.
You have to tap on the bar that tell you how many apps found and the rest will show.

I wish it would be that easy.
I don't mean to be rude in no way. But have you even tried that yourself?
My experience says that's bogus. If it would be pushable then probably it would look more like a button or clickable link, wouldn't it?
200.000.000.000$ Google inc. Should atleast provide hints on how to get all apps to show. Besides the billions; Google is the world largest internet search provider. It would be a great FAIL by Google if this isn't a big bug.
Nevertheless, button or not, the tapping trick will not do it. I've tried that on atleast 8 phones, different brand, different roms, different kernels. It just makes me feel stupid, tapping like a freak on my friends phones.
If you still claims that tapping is the trick. Then I would like you to take screenshots of it.
Please search for "Mario" and post screenshots of new market showing more than 5 results of Mario.
And if it is true that tapping is the way to go. Then we've probably have got ourselves a regional issue.
Also... Please provide information about your country, phone, rom, etc, etc,
The End.

Same problem.
Only just noticed it now. Thought it was my phone as google searches would not yield any results for me on the problem, probably due to wrong wording mind. I'm on stock Motorola atrix 2.2 UK rom with newish market update.
What a major oversight by google, surely they should have fixed this by now.
I do a search for music and the grey bar says there are 25978 results I click on the tab arrow to display what I assume will be the 25978 app results. I get 20 apps, that's it? Everyone here who has actually noticed still having this issue I take it?
I have this issue too. Was trying to search for "Handcent" but it returns only 2 results, neither are the actual app.

Agree, I touch there, it shows 3 hits, and 1311 results along the top:

Sorry I don't have enough posts yet to include the link.
The issue is that you can not touch and open the additional 1311 results.
easy fix for market.
Use any apparently that will freeze apks. Freeze market upgrader. Then uninstall market updates in manage applications. Once you uninstalled the update,you'll be back on the old market until you unfreeze the market updater. Hope this helps.
Even though I'm not rooted I have had that happen to me as well. Another problem I have is getting stuck in download loops. The only fix is to reboot my phone.

If you can't get the app you want, than that's a real issue. You could search for it on you PC on the android market and then install from there to you phone.

That was exactly what I was hoping for. How to disable that stupid silent update of google.
That really did the trick!
I can't understand how I possible could have missed that obvious application; "Market Updater.apk", when going through system apps over and over again, looking for the damn silent updater application.
I greatly appreciate your help. I was about to surrender to Google's ignorance and become one of it's stupidity.

In the tablet settings enable something like "force hardware acceleration." I think it is in the developer section. If you can't find it, I can look at it latter and give a better explanation. That should speed up the scrolling.

Try a service like Entropay. Create a credit card with a US address and use it for Netflix.
they want scan of my ID, passport and driving licence got email immediately after registering there.
ive ran out of ideas, guess i will give up on it but thanks for help

edit: IT WORKS ) ive registered with my real slovakian address and credit card, they asked me to send them ids, so i did. After about an hour my virtual card was OK. And it was accepted by netflix without problem... what an awesome stuff youve got there in US im impressed. (btw hulu doesnt work)
thanks for highjacking my thread....guess i'll never get my netflix working...woe is me
If you are rooted and own titanium backup you could try freezing the app and installing the one from the market which should install as a data app instead of a system app.
Have you tried clearing the data/cache in the app setting by going settings>apps and scrolling to netfix? I can't recall the exact location since I am at work.
Does it give the same status even if you don't have any updates installed?
ive tried many netflix apps, but this one works for sure. try it, maybe it will work for you too. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20911810/Netflix_1.6.0.apk
When i try to install the above apk, i get an error message that says an existing app with a conflicting signature exists...which makes sense asi am unable to uninstall the original netflix. Seriously im having a hard time believing im the only one experiencing ts problem?
OP are you rooted? Uninstall the netflix update, then try deleting the Netflix.apk from /system/app with root explorer, reboot, reinstall netflix from the market.
have you done a factory data reset since you upgraded to ICS? I had a lot of quirky bugs right after I upgraded but thy all disappeared with a wipe. Asus really should have included that as part of the upgrade.
anyways, google can backup your apps if you let it, so all you have to do is re-define your settings. I was done and ready to go within an hour of my wipe.
hopefully you dont have to do that but that will probly fix it. good luck!
Agree, a factory reset can fix all kinds of software issues and with Google App Backup it is easier than ever to recover.

What's the big deal with preventing the update? Looks like exactly the same market with a name change to me. Just wondering what I'm missing and in no way trying to be a jerk.

You dont want to stop the update because if you do, you will not be able to get apps or update current apps with the old market.
Anything else that relies on the newer market will fail as well. I doubt you could stop it anyway..
Install an older version of the Market and use Titanium Backup to freeze the Market Updater...but there's no good reason to not update.
The new market is great! LOL, it is pretty much the same. The only difference if you have a tablet and that allowed you to purches music through the app. Again looks pretty much the same. New name

personally the name change is annoying as all hell, google quit trying to program your brand name in my brain, when i want to buy and app or something i want to go to the market or to the store, not go to the google and pick up a new app.
every-time i'm in a rush trying to pull something from the app market i can't find the bloody icon because i'm looking for the market or in the old location on my app drawer, minor change i know but i have caught myself cussing at google when i needed to re-d/l my gps app after it crashed during a trip i as on a few days ago.
any chance of renaming the new app back to market without root?
Just use a launcher and if already do, just change the name duh..lol that's what I did ....

The only way to get around using Google Play is to not use android. What you're asking is the equivalent of saying you want to use an iDevice without the app store.

Memory needs > any update
I have a very good reason for not wanting auto-upgrades. Radio Shack misled me about the HTC Wildfire S and now I've got jack for memory. I have four apps installed, use only the native message app, and I'm lucky to have 25mb free. Anything less than that and the phone works as well as the Pony Express does today.
FWIW, Tandybot told me I could always install apps on the SD card. In theory, yes, but so few app devs code apps to work in that manner. Lesson learned.
kite edit: SNIP! No need for that kind of attitude around here, I'm afraid.

Does anyone know where I can find the latest version of Music Junk? Mine just keeps saying "Network Error" and all the searches I have done are really old posts. Can someone help me please???
Looks like it might be gone for good since the Facebook and Twitter page has been pulled....
I've been wondering the same, but I guess it really is finally gone for good... which blows because it was the best app for downloading music, hands down.
After posting my last, I installed Music Junk 4.3 on my phone again and opened it immediately to try it out again. I searched for music and it actually worked. I downloaded a couple of songs and everything, but then it stopped working after trying another search. Not sure what this means, but hopefully something positive...
Can you post a link for 4.3? I couldn't find it anywhere. I found other versions, but not that one. Pretty Please?
I have this problem with 4.3 I also tried to uninstall & reinstall. I tried 4.2 as well with no luck. This is typical of them when they change versions, but I haven't seen a 4.4 version out there...

I did last night, randomly... decided to install it again and try it. The first search worked and I was able to download several songs. After that, no such luck. I've been getting network error ever since.
I remember long time back (HTC hero days) music junk used to have some files, that used to pull data from these music websites, that used to get outdated. hence, the new versions would have the new files and we would not get the network errors...
If we can get a developer to look into some recent music junk versions and look into the changes made, we might be able to get it working again.

I think it's a done deal, guys. Anytime the servers went offline & we waited on a new version,I was still able to download on mj ver3.0.that is the only version that would work all the time even when the newer current ones would come network error. Needless to say, 3 isn't working anymore.
No way 4.3 was working for me this month now i get network error why i love this app. Any one know if there is an update like 4.4 or am alternative app out there?
I'm using v 3.0.4, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The trick is i have to press search a few times, i get the "network error'' the first tries but eventually it loads the search page. I get the error far more times when im using the network than through wi fi. But once it goes through i click on the song and downloads on the first try.

This is what it says in the app description:
NOTE: If you aren't yet able to install Hangouts on your phone or tablet, or the Play Store "Open" button takes you to the old Talk app, hang tight, we are rolling out Hangouts to everyone over the course of several days. Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!
So i think it will take time. Even I have the old talk application still.
Remove with titanium, install from store. Profit.
I got an update and I did it. I now have hangouts instead of talk. UI is slightly unintuitive, but then again, Talk was barebones anyway
I rolled back to talk. hangouts isn't as good. it's slow, takes a while to load up whereas hitting talk icon would instantly show your list and then conversation.. this is like it has to load from the cloud.. and then there's no buddy list so you don't even know who's online, or who's away so you don't disturb them. idk, i don't like it.
