Where is "turn on google now"?
here are the screenshots for settings of google now
In fact, there should be another option in the settings above the Voice Search
that setting is Google now.....
Unfortunately, you don't have it
I dunno why

That's why i am confused.
I wonder if there's a google now apk or zip that i can intall.
i really like the cards!:fingers-crossed:
Don't they have it on gapps package? Maybe that'd work

i already search but cannot find any downloadable gapps and instruction.
edit:
installed 4.2 gapps and still, no luck.
anyone with the same problem as mine?
I think it's the same app name as Google search. Will have a look when I get home and post the apk

I have the same exact problem. Hope someone could help.
Maybe you are usung google apps for business?
If so, you have to activate google now in your apps for business administration settings.
Hope that helps,

No im not using google app for business...
The only option im having is the "camera search" after updating google in play store.
Region Dependent maybe?
I'm not sure though but Google Now may be region dependent? I have the same problem with the recent 4.1.2 update here in the Philippines. I will try to install a UK firmware and well see how it goes.

which rom are you using ?
This should be the case in settings. This is on the leaked 4.2.2.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Google now is location dependent thus, it wont work on some network/country/region... just like google wallet. It was working when I was in the US but not here in the Philippines.

Rooted my phone using the Vroot method and did some surveying with permission manager, xPrivacy and I stumbled upon a mysterious app called MtkCamera (com.example.cameraroot). I have no recollection of ever installing this app. I find this suspicious because I use permission manager on other phones running ICS and never have to deal with this app before. Considering all the apps listed are installed from Google Play Store, I decided to restrict all permission and uninstall the app. Check out the permissions list.

I removed it right after I found its existence.
If root fail then we see toast notifications that restore successful and this app we can see in multitask... I think it is for reverting back if root fails...

I'm not convinced. Looking at the network permissions, it doesn't make sense why it would need to control network access.

If you not sure if you want to remove it yet, put it behind a firewall
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jtschohl.androidfirewall
or freeze the app
appreciate the warning
Any devs here want to decompile it and see what it does?

I rooted with Vroot, installed english SU and then removed the Chinese SU using the vroot app and I don't have the app installed.
Removed it as soon as I saw it. Better not run it, and remove it does nothing to the root.

Sure, but what does it do? Does it steal your contacts? Send SMS'? Log your IMEI? Log your keystrokes? Or is it nothing out of the ordinary? Who knows!
I could decompile it myself, but I have no idea what to look for, so that's a complete waste of time.
We can make a game out of this. Post what you think it does, and we'll see who wins The winner gets an Xperia Z1 (image from the internetz).

A quick Google search reveals that "MTK" is MediaTek, a Taiwanese semiconductor company that's in the smartphone business, so I guess that's something? Still doesn't tell us why MediaTek's camera thingy is installed on some Ultras, though.

Is this thing only visible when using certain security apps?
I cannot find it in list of settings〉apps
I cannot see such process running either. I have not uninstalled anything since vroot

So the reason some people do not have can be simply because they do not have a TW firmware. Have a TW firmware and got it after vroot. But where would be the point for vroot to put a malicious apps on your phone when they can do anything they want while rooting your device? Maybe you should not take your phone with you on the bathroom, they may record you hahahaha.

So you don't find the following permissions suspicious?
Change network connectivity
Connect and disconnect wifi
Full network access
View network connection
View wi-fi connection
Pair with bluetooth devices
Allow wifi multicast reception
Call me paranoid, but I think this is a spying app...
this app with us from the beginning.
this is what I found -platform for the bottom and top of the camera for a detailed explanation of the process and the introduction of the frame code
that does seem suspicious.
Is the view that this root method is trustworthy?
Trying to weigh up if all is well before I root.

Hello bros,
I bought Xperia Z ULTRA (C6802) from China last month. I am using in Turkey now but there are some problems. The first time i opened the phone, the google apps(play store,chrome, google+,gmail etc.) are not included in it. I downloaded google play store apk and set up it. When I open it, the app immediately stop working like what happens in this video:
How can I fix this problem ? What should I do? Any suggestions?
Also, the games(Asphtalt 8 etc.) from Gameloft give error ".... has stopped working" For this, I also need help.
Help please..
Please stop. Spamming the board won't get you help faster; it'll get you in trouble.

If these apps aren't working it's because the rom wasn't Flashed correctly. They're baked into the rom. So you need to do a repair with PC Companion or reflash whole rom to be safe.

I have already got my voucher code from Xperia Lounge, then click redeem now and got this message
"The Prepaid card code you entered is incorrect or is no longer valid".
Did anyone else got this working?
Did you download an app called "Pass" when you hit redeem now in Lounge? I got redirected to the Play store and then put my code in the pass app and now the movies are listed in the Movies app.
