Google Now - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Is anybody else not able to open the settings in Google Now? Ever since I did the last update for Google Search I can longer open the settings but I can open the settings for the individual cards but not the main settings.

Some of the reviews in the store are saying the same thing.
I have that issue on some ROMs but not others.

While in Now, do a search - any sort of search, and then on the search results page, you can access the normal settings menu. Only workaround I know of for now

I'm not having that issue.

Thanks worked for me have been needing to get into the settings for like 2 weeks now but haven't been able too.

Yes I have the same problem. I am unable to refresh the Cards also. So I guess it's an application bug. Hopefully they can fix it.

Market saying app is installed

I was certain this would be answered already but couldn't find one...
I've flashed hundreds of ROMs and have always been able to go to market.android.com and install apps (even ones that said "INSTALLED") but I just flashed a new ROM and now if I click on an app it says it's already installed on the device. Is there anyway to reset this data on the website?
EDIT:
Ugh. Searched for 30 minutes before posting this and couldn't find an answer - literally the next thing I read had the answer:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22661841&postcount=12
Login to your Google dashboard; from a PC preferebly. Else from cell is also fine.
There, scroll down to "Android market" and click "Installed applications"
This will open android market, with your already installed apps list, under orders tab. Click the 'Settings' tab here.
Hopefully you'll see your device listed here, but the nickname will be missing. At least that's what I saw. Edit and add a nickname, save changes.
Thanks ..just encountered the problem...I'm always switching ROM (very addicting) & 1st time I encountered this problem as well.
Yikes...My device is not listed ...Guess I have to add them manually from my phone

This happens to me when I switch ROM format or smartphone, but sending the install again, it works.
Galaxy S4 Solution
I had to reinstall ("repair") the software on my Galaxy S4. When all was complete, I had the same problem as the OP. I fixed it by:
Going to the app store via my phone--"play store" app.
Clicking the menu button (bottom left on the phone).
Selecting My Apps.
The missing apps had an X and just said free or whatever.
Clicking the app opens the window to install.
Obvious from there....

Screen Off And Lock App

Just installed the free version on my Sony ICS Tablet S but there is no setting as described in Play Store so I tried to uninstall and re-install it but I cannot uninstall it whether with the Tablet own Settings or in Play Store (I pressed the Uninstalled button but it didn't work).
Can someone please tell me how to uninstall this app?
Thank you in advance.

One of the reviewers said go into the application and there is an option near the bottom to uninstall.
But once I touch the icon, my device is "screen off and locked"
The one I installed is by Katecca!

Yes, that is the one I was referring to.
Curious, did you try first going into the tablet's Settings > Security > Device Administrators to see if the app is listed and can be deactivated there? That is what I understood the notes on the app's web page said you had to do before the app could be uninstalled.

Got it! Thanks for pointing me to the right direction, I always think its the app's Setting (so did other reviewers - look at the numbers of the complaints in the reviews of their Chinese web page!).
Btw, I only see this app listed in the device administrators under security setting, just wonder why an app has to be deleted in this way, very inconvenient to new and inexperienced users I've been using iPhone for 3 years and started using android couple of months ago with this Sony tablet.

Google Assistant Settings - Issue

Hey, is anyone else having problems getting into the assistant settings menu, i'm talking about this menu.
(open assistant > settings and then settings again)

Tried clearing cache and data of both Google and play apps, I also tried the beta channel download same thing, I tap settings it almost like the page pops ups and vanishes within a second, both settings and explore are doing this.

No, that's just the menu we want to access but can't
So I guess I have to revoke the microphone authorization for the Google app to get rid of Google assistant for now.

@2001db8, is correct thats the menu we cant get to, the one I shared is the one just before it, sorry should have been more clear.
@Grazmeister what version of the app do you have ?

I access the settings by pressing Home Button and then by clicking on the blue icon on the top right side
@B1naryBlaz3 I fixed it with my P20 by disabling and uninstalling Google Play Services via "System Settings -Apps -> Google Play Services -> Deactivate" and then afterwards installing the Google Play Services update again when prompted. This actually fixed a lot of issues I had

Works until I restart the phone again, I also factory reset 4 times yesterday to try and isolate the issue, its definitely something thats part of the default install, everything is fine until it updates the stock stuff and then you restart.

Well it's the same as mine. The problem may be the Google Play Services as @2001db8 pointed out. You have all the permissions granted to Assistant?

Did you get the handset from cell c ? Trying to figure out how the various operators decide which version they sell, got mine from Telkom if I knew the other version had more internals I would have opted for that, this is what I get for not doing my homework.

I have no issue whatsoever, I use the Google assistant on a daily basis ( Yeah I'm that lazy lol) and the Google authentication app is working just fine (I have setup my two way authentication code for my various emails accounts and other stuff) i'm pretty happy with this p20 lite and I wasn't expecting to have such a good experience in the first place.

Google Settings crashing, impossible to view or change any system setting

Hi, I have an old HTC U11+ with Android 9 that works perfectly, at least until a few days ago.
For a few days now I've been experiencing problems with system applications, problems never encountered before... the settings application doesn't work, I see the window for an instant and then it disappears.
I tried to upgrade/downgrade apps such as "Android System webview" and "Chrome", without solving it.
I don't know what else to try... is there any way to reinstall all the system apps?

Hi! I'm having the same problem with the HTC U11 android 9. It just happened. I took my phone to a phone tech and he told me that I needed to do a hard reboot. (back to factory settings) However, that would delete all the data and pictures, music..etc.... In other words, I'll lose EVERYTHING! I need to back up the phone and have tried several different programs on my laptop to achieve that, but they all require USB debugging to be enabled. Which I can't get to because I can't access the settings on my phone. I also need to save some photos from a locked folder in the phone, as it crashes when I try to enter the locked folder. It crashes just as the pattern entry window opens. .
A hard reboot is out of the question. I need to save everything on this phone, so any help would be seriously appreciated!

HI, which are these programs requiring USB debugging? I have it enabled, but with "Dr.Fone" or "Droidkit" I have not solved this issues... both say that function "repairing system" is available only for Samsung models

Got it!
Uninstalled Google updatesm and now Settings app is not crashing anymore.

Go on the play store and get short cut maker by Rishikesh kamewar. You can literally make your own short cut to anything in your phone. All settings. All options. All activities. Does not need root and is free. I had the same problem with several parts of my settings. Click on it and the damn thing ****s it's self. This is how I get around it. Use the shortcut and it doesn't trip whatever is making the crash.

Question Help with Google news feed

Hey everyone. I wasn't able to find a fix online so I figured I'd ask the experts on XDA.
Issue: 1- When I click on an article on my Google feed nothing happens.
2- When I use Google search and click one of the results nothing happens.
Chrome works, Samsung Internet works, and Edge works.
What I've tried: Deleting the storage on the Google app. No dice.
I don't have the same issue on my old S22 Ultra or my Tab S7 Plus.
Has anyone seen this before?
Any help would be appreciated.
Shot in the dark, but do you maybe not have a default internet browser selected? Or did it default to something else somehow that can't open a link? Can you open links from other apps? You could install duckduckgo and see if it'll open in that one maybe.
I would just uninstall Chrome and Google News and just start over.

I literally had this myself for a week, then yesterday it suddenly started to work. When it first began I tried all the recommended stuff like clearing caches and so on, but nothing helped. I wish I could help but I myself am baffled as to how it came to work again.

What if you try to access it from Chrome homescreen ? Under the search bar, there's a "Discover" section which practically is a Google Feed. Does it work ?
Have you tried updating Google App & Android Webview manually ?
Have you allow all permissions for Google app ?

I stand corrected I lied I hadn't updated the Google App. Thought I had but I have the beta. I updated it and now it works as expected. Thanks a million. You really made my day.
