Hi all
I don't have Google now installed. But when I start to use Google search, now keeps trying to install itself. Can I permanently remove now? And just have search?
This is for CM10.1
Thanks

Have you tried starting Google Search, then Settings, then Google Now > Off ?

Thanks for your response
I have been there, it is already "off".
It is almost like Google Search is advertising Now, but I don't want it ask me to install Now every time, I just want to go straight to search.
Even hitting the microphone opens the Google Now install window, then I must hit the back button to go back to regular search.
This is really annoying for someone who doesn't want google now installed.

Every time I input 2 letters in Google search, it force closes. It didn't use to work before so I downloaded it from the market and it still doesn't work. I checked the system apps folder with root explorer and its not there. And when I try to search something else with it, it doesn't search.
Can anyone help me with this search madness?

Which rom are you using?

I have this same problem. It supposedly has something to do with voice search. It will only FC if you are set to search for everything, but if you simply want to search the web, set it that way and it won't FC. I was too lazy to fix it and I realized that I don't use the search for everything anyway, just the web, so I left it broken.
I have the same problem with ICS Final

Hey guys,
For about 5 months now, I've been unable to purchase any apps in Google Play. In fact, I can't even see paid apps, only free ones.
I've tried clearing the data and cache for Google Play. I've restored the device to factory settings using the volume down and power button several times. None of that has worked.
I've emailed Google about it, but they have been useless. The only way for me to get paid apps on my tablet is to purchase them on my phone and then download them on my tablet. Which isn't ideal as some apps are incompatible on my phone. And I've noticed there are a lot of apps incompatible with the Transformer Prime.
I live in the UK and the device is set to UK. Please can someone help, it's driving me mad!

Not a solution but you can also purchase apps on the google play web and push them to your tab.
I can't, when I go through the website, my tablet is greyed out and won't let me purchase apps on to it.
I can't even see paid apps on the website! What the hell is going on??

Create another google play account to purchase apps for your prime with?!
What about the apps I've purchased with my current Google account, can I still use them?

Things currently installed shouldnt stop working I would think.
At any rate, it was really a suggestion to narrow the problem down to the account, not your device. Then take that info to google and tell them to freaking fix it.
I'm sure you want to get your gmail etc... so you would have to switch accounts everytime you bought something. Not practical.
You could though say "Hey google, I made this new account named X, logged in with my prime and was able to add apps.
Ah, yes, that's a good idea. I will try that over the weekend. Thanks for the suggestion.

Well, I tried making another account but it's still not showing any paid apps. I'll send an email to Google, see if they can come up with a solution.
If anyone can think of anything else, please let me know.

Hey all,
wasn't sure which forum of the S3 was the appropriate one for this question.
wanted to ask maybe if anyone can help -
how to make the Google Search Widget open search results in Chrome browser?
at the moment when i search through the widget - it opens the search results in the Google Search App,
not in the S3 browser and not in chrome.
- I've tried setting Chrome as my default browser.
- Tried clearing defaults for the "Google Search" & "Google Search Widget" apps (no defaults were even defined)
maybe you can help me out on this one.
Regards,

which one you meant?
cause i'm in JB and it opens in search app.
no way to change this?
Go to all apps in app manager, find internet click on it scroll down to app defaults and press clear defaults then when you next use widget it will ask what app you want to use to open results then choose chrome.

Are you sure you cleared defaults for the Samsung browser (called Internet in apps) not for the widget itself, that's how I did it.

Its called "Browser" in my S3
and maybe i wasn't clear enough - when searching through the widget, it opens the search results in Google search app.
when clicking one of the results, then it opens chrome.
i want it from the start to open the whole search results page in chrome
I already said that it was the way the new Google Search worked.....

I'm really hoping to find an answer to this too. After the search results display, you can't open multiple windows for the different sites you wish to view.

On my Note 2 I had to clear defaults for "Popup browser", that did it!
google chrome help
I'm lookong for some help on this too. I have the Samsung S6 & the Launcher (google search bar) automatically opens in Google & not Google Chrome. I need it to be in Google Chrome so I can tap on the images to save them. The normal launcher page I cannot save images.
I have cleared defaults & it doesn't help. It doesn't ask which browser you want to use.
Google search is its own entity. It cannot open chrome until you hit a link in its (google search) results field. Blame android and the way it's built.

Sorry man, but that isn't possible. Google already implemented that right from the beginning, when search was implemented into the OS.
I figured it on my Galaxy S6. Settings / Google (that's right, they have their own section now!)/ Search & Now / Accounts & Privacy ...then toggle off the button for "Open web pages in app"

I am using a GS3 Temasek CM11 and a Nexus 7 2013 Kit Kat 4.4.2. Both devices were working properly (regarding Google Now). Suddenly both of them stopped to work.
I didn't see if the problem started as soon as i updated to Kit Kat.
Is this an account problem? Or did i screw something up in the process?
Regards
Chris

Do you installed it from Play Store? Or some gapps (0-day, banks, etc)?
Do you see some error, or the app just crash when trying to open it?
You can try cleaning the data for the app, or uninstalling/installing it again. Or flashing gapps again (wipe Dalvik at least).
I have done all of the above(at least for my rooted gs3).
When i try to launch Google now i only get the search bar allowing me to "search or say OK GOOGLE".
If i say "who's the president of USA?" it will answer.
But if i try to set a reminder i get this:
"Turn on Google now to set reminders for dates, times and locations.
Opt in to Google now."
Pressing the "opt in to google now" i again get the google search bar and no google now cards.
Also long pressing an empty space and selecting SETTINGS i dont see the option to enable google now.

New Nexus 5 and the problem is still there. Seems to be an account problem.
Hope Google fixes this asap..

Ive had the same issue.. I have a possible solution:
Settings > Location -- make sure its ON and google location reporting is ON.
for privacy reasons I had this OFF and I got 'unfortunately google search has stopped working'
I don't know if this answers your question but its a problem I had but fixed.
Hi guys!
As the title says, for some reason the Google Sound Search app does not work on my phone with CM11. I have cleared the shops cache and even uninstalled it then reinstalled it, yet I still can't get it to work. When I click on the widget to try and use it, it says "opps, request failed. Retry?"
Any help would be great. Thanks!

I had a similar issue with this with OmniRom. I ended up having to uninstall Google Search (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN ALTERNATE LAUNCHER!) with RootAppDelete and then reinstall with with Google Play.
After I did that the voice search complete w/ "OK Google" started working again.
Once again. Change to an alternate launcher before force uninstalling Google Search as it is integrated in with the KitKat launcher.
It's not the voice search that's broken, it's the app that listens to the music then tells me the artist and song name. Google Ears I think it was called.
I tried what you suggested anyways but I still have the issue.

It's still there - just well hidden
If you go to google now or type on the mic in google search and there is some kind of music playin you'll see a blue 'note' on right bottom of your screen. Just tap on it ....
