Hello,
I wonder if it's possible to open keyboard automatically after I swipe up on home button to launch Google Now. Now I need to click on input field on the top of screen to show keyboard and start typing.
Android 4.4, Nexus 4.
was googling for the same request. if someone bring up any solution would be awesome!
Keyboard popping up automatically in Google now
I like Google now. But I like just plain Google search better. I want to swipe up on my phone and automatically have the keyboard pop up and search the web or search my phone for a contact. With Google now on, it requires the second step of clicking on the search bar to open the keyboard. Because of that, I have always kept Google now off, because it would then allow the keyboard to open automatically. The ability to search this quickly with the swipe up feature was my single favorite feature of my moto phone.
But now, with the recent update to the Google search app on android, the keyboard no longer pops up automatically, even if I have now cards off. It just has a thing that says get now cards. This makes me angry. I want the Google search app to primarily be a search app, and open the keyboard when I swipe up. And I can close the keyboard if I want to use Google now.
I really want there to be am option to have it either way.

Did you ever figure out a solution to this? Because a few weeks ago, mine stopped pulling the keyboard up automatically, too. It's so annoying, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to go back to doing it.

you can go to setting, application manager, swipe right to ALL, find "Google/google apps", tap on it, and choose uninstall update. It basically reverts the google app to the oldest version.
I also hate the update disabling the keyboard popup even if I don't have google now card enabled
I'm worried if later I update my phone to marshmallow, I have to tolerate having an extra tap on the google search text bar to activate the keyboard. I like the way it is now, just swipe up from the home button and have the keyboard ready.
Like you guys, I am super annoyed with the latest Google app updates which no longer pop up the keyboard automatically when looking to quickly enter in a search query. Kinda defeats the whole point of a search app, but anyway, I've refrained from updating for this very reason. I'm surprised more folks haven't complained about this and that an xposed module hasn't been created to reinstate this feature.
Has anyone found a solution to this annoying problem?
Before Marshmallow you can takeover the Home Button using "JB EXENOW" and link to the activity (e.g. via "Quckshortcutmaker"): googleapp.(...) queryentry.
This starts the google app with keyboard.
Sadly it doesn't work in marshmallow. I can set the shortcut, which is still working, but JBEXE isnt taking over the home button anymore.
I'm experimenting with "[GB][MM] Physical Button Music Control 4.0 beta6"-Xposed-Module, but until now i can't hook properly on the home button.

Let us know if you find a working solution. For now I'm just sticking with this really old version of Google:

tasker solution
i made a profile for tasker that clicks on the search bar whenever the app opens up first.
the only downside is that you will need to pay for the "AutoInput" plugin (and Tasker) for it to work.
its well worth the few quid for AutoInput though. you can use it to toggle stuff like flight mode or NFC without needing to root your phone, switch between the current app and last app. . . or my favourite which is saving a song to a playlist in spotify, which can take ages since i have so many folders and sub-folders to click through each time
i cant post links yet so just do a google search for "autoapps projects" and look for "Google Search - show keyboard" by pymai

There is an easy way to do that using GravityBox and Nova Launcher. You have to go GravityBox -> Navigation bar tweaks (this section needs to be turned on with the master switch) -> Navigation ring targets -> Change Ring target 1 from Applications to Shortcuts -> Choose Nova Action -> Search (the one with the big magnifier icon). Voilà! Now when you swipe up from your home button it will go directly to search bar and open keyboard.
GravityBox 5.4.5 [LP], Android 5.1.1 Rooted+Xposed, Nexus 5
If you're not rooted just install swipeup utility to replace Google and choose quick search..

Hey everyone, hopefully this isn't a total noob question, but after the ICS OTA upgrade, I have no phone (Dialer) application.
That bar that runs across the bottom was totally blank besides the "All apps" button and I have no dialer icon on the home screen. When i go into all apps, I do not have a (Dialer) application listed. I know the phone application is still on the phone somewhere because I can call people directly from my contacts, but i have no way to dial a number manually from what i can tell. If I go to settings > Apps > All, I can see the dialer there, but I have no way to create a shortcut to the dialer that I can use.
Anyone got any ideas on that?
It should be called "Phone" in the app tray. Is that missing too? What happens if you hit the search button and enter Phone, the icon should show up and you can drag it to the desktop or tray from there.

The new app tray had no icons in it at all besides the "All apps" button.
I can search for phone and find it and it works, but there is no way to move that to my home screen
There's another person with the same issue here.

Long press on it, it should let you move it to the screen.
I am having the same issue as well. It is nowhere to be found in the app tray and the only way to access it is through the people app. I did have it a shortcut before installing the OTA on my lockscreen and that one still works so it is still functioning, I just can't find it!

Ya, unless someone finds a solution I'll be factory resetting my phone. I hope that means I don't have to download the OTA again, but whatever. For now I just downloaded a phone dialer from the Play Store. There are a bunch of them for free. I downloaded exDialer for now since it has no crazy permissions.

I just put the people app on the bottom for now, you can access the phone from there anyway. And it is still on my lockscreen shortcuts so the app is functioning- just missing in the app tray!

NOTE: The app drawer is what comes up after you press the 'all apps' button... Is the icon in there.

Pre-ota no dialer in the app drawer
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I am pretty sure it was in mine before but regardless it is impossible to make a shortcut to it now. I have desktop visualizer and can't find it in either of the options on there, and if I long press to add widget/shortcut through Sense, it isn't there either.

You also appear to be missing the button for Verizon Wireless apps at the bottom.
Same Problem
New Guy here having the same problem.
Phone app is not present in the All Apps section and unable to get it onto the launcher bar at the bottom of the homescreen,
Like mentioned above, I can access the app via Settings/Apps/All but unable to get it from there.
The App icon is on my lock screen but it's a pain to have to lock out your phone just to make a call.
I also placed the People app on the launcher as a workaround.
Hopefully someone or HTC/Verizon can get a fix or this.
Long press on your screen... select 'shortcuts'...... then select 'activities'.... then scroll down to 'phone'... then select 'phone'. That should do it for you.
Doh!

Tried this but after "shortcuts" I don't have "activities". I'm guessing the other's with this same problem won't either. Damn, I thought you got it fixed for us.

I long press on the screen, hit shortcuts, and get a list of shortcuts (no activities option there) and no phone option. I have put a shortcut to the dialer on my phone before, I know where it should be and it is not there. Like I said above I also can't find it using third party options like desktop visualizer. It is gone.
Sorry, I'm doing this from memory since I'm not on the official OTA.... Its someplace in there. How about 'activities' and then 'apps'? There may be a shortcut to phone in there.
Ok so it did show up in desktop visualizer under apps and not "other" so I can make a shortcut to it on my screen but I won't be able to put it into the dashboard. It does not show up in anything from HTC aside from searching for it, using the people app, or going into manage apps.
Has anyone figured out how to do this? Under Apps, there is not LG Keyboard app for me to disable.
I don't think you can. Just replace it with whichever one you want and forget about it.

Download Package Disabler Pro from the Play Store. I paid for the app; it's well worth it. After you install GBoard or whatever else keyboard you install, use Package Disabler Pro to disable the LG keyboard. PDP will prompt you to install an LG Service app and will need you to set a few permissions before it will give you the ability to disable apps that you'd otherwise not be able to.

I had this app for my S7edge. I didn't realize it worked for other phone brands as well. I did this and now Google Voice Typing is still showing as a keyboard. Would you happen to know how to get rid of this? I'm ultimately trying to get rid of the keyboard prompt that shows up in notifications when I'm typing.
install your keyboard of choice (GBoard for example)
Open settings
Go to Language and Input
Pick the default keyboard option
Hit "select more" if only one or two is shown
Select Gboard and turn it on.
Select LG Keyboard and turn it OFF
You can leave Google voice typing ON if you want.
This will get rid of the keyboard icon in the notification area. You don't have to uninstall, delete, or disable the LG keyboard, just turn it off from the list of available keyboards.
Screen shot of the settings as they need to be set:

"lightbox_close": "Close",

}
Screen shot immediately after when using the Gboard keyboard. You can see the icon for the previous screnshot is still in the notification bar and there's no keyboard there.
edit: cool just noticed the incognito underlay on the keyboard.

It is hiding.
Under Language and input you'll see "keyboard & input methods"
The first item is "Default"
select it.
Then look closely at the modal window that pops up.
It'll say "Change Keyboard"
It may list one or more options
then say "Cancel ... Select More"
You want select more.

Cool! I got to that screen. I shut off the LG board but I still saw the keyboard icon in my notification area whenever the gboard popped up. Turns out I also had to disable the Google Handwriting keyboard too. Now that silly icon doesn't show up! Thanks!
A separate dedicated button shouldnt be locked down for only Google Assistant.
Any way to remap it?
+1 Anyone?
I'd rather map this to Dialler which I'd use far more widely compared to any other app.
same here

Same here, did anyone fine any way ?
Not remappable yet. May be they'll change it via future updates.. highly unlikely imo.
So, here's the thing. I used an app called "Cometin" to try and remap the button. It didn't work (although, click and hold home button to summon assistant was successfully remapped) and when I got in toch with the developer, I was told,
"This appears to be difficult as the OS is calling google assistant directly."
If that's the case, I highly doubt it is possible to remap the button without root. I don't believe motorola will provide and update to allow remapping.
Disable Google Assistant Button
I hate this button. I wish manufacturers would stop shoving non customizable hardware bundled with unwanted software combo on to our devices. I guess this is the compromise that Motorola has made, in place of the usual plethora of software bloatware.
Is there a way to even disable this button? I read elsewhere that setting the 'default assistant app' to 'None', disables this button (instead of remapping it). Has anyone tried this?

Whoa, you mean you tried it on the one fusion+ and it worked? ? I guess I'll give it another go in that case
---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------
Well, I tried it again, and it still isn't working for me for the dedicated button. Can you confirm which version of the app & device software version you're using?
I got the same issue.
I'm guessing I'll end up sending it to a repair shop to remove the button or, Jesus, just glue it unpressed.
Cyanoacrylate should work, I'll let you know if I decide to go for it.
Whoa! No need for that! So I'm rooted and first thing I did was uninstall Google Assistant which makes it so pressing the button doesn't do anything. Also, I found the file that controls what the button does. It's "/system/usr/keylayout/gpio-keys.kl" the only problem is the stupid kernel is write protected so I can't actually modify the file...
Honestly I really hate this extra button and since its ther I'd rather remap it as a firing button for wither pubg or cod. Just hope these morons give the option to remap in a future update
So yeah, I have a working solution without having to root your device.
All you need to do is to install Tasker, either buy it or rip it, I don't really care.
After that, follow some easy steps:
0. Create a task containing two steps: switching to home screen (you'll need that to prevent endless cycle of entering your fav application again and again when you swipe/press back) and then launching your fav app.

1. Then create a profile for Google app on the Profiles tab (not the Assistant app!) and assign your newly created task to it.
2. Save everything and enjoy.
The only little annoyances here are that you'll have to sacrifice the entire Google app in favor of another app, and also that annoying google beep at the launch.
Happy hacking, dudes and dudettes.

Good evening. I am having two issues that popped up with my phone when I turned it on the other morning. I use the Simple Mobile service and have a Galaxy a10e. All software is up to date and I am running Android 10.
The first issue is that due to having larger fingers it is easier to use 'talk to text.' I have Samsung Keyboard as my default and had muted all my sounds so that when I hit the microphone and went to touch the circled microphone to speak there would be no sound. However the other morning when I went to talk to text it made a 'ding' noise at me. I went into settings and could not find a way to quiet it.
I searched the web and found a similar issue and someone downloaded sound assistant from the Galaxy Store. I did that but when I went to the section where you could control the individual volume of apps it seemed there was everything chooseable (Phone, Voice Recorder, Firefox, etc.) BUT messages does not show up.
The second issue I have is with the drop down menu on the main page. There used to be a button for mobile data so you could grey it out.
I have a cap and occasionally if I am not home and say, playing a game offline, it was always easy to just pull down the menu and shut off data. But the button is no longer there. Granted I had not used it in a bit but there was an option. I even looked on Samsung on how to shut off mobile data and it recommends that step. But the button seems to have disappeared.
If anyone could help me with these issues I would certainly appreciate you taking the time. Thanks and have a good evening.

1. You can try Google keyboard (Gboard). Maybe its voice to text feature works fine for you ... It is working without any sound on my phone.
2. The mobile data toggle should still be there. Maybe not on the first "page". Drop down the toggles and click the three dots menu (at the top right) and select the option to edit/change the toggles. Then search for mobile data and place it on the first page (or where you want it to be).
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU so much for responding. I have been waiting for help for over a month. I appreciate it.
I am going to attempt to add pictures to show what I am seeing in case it helps.
1. I have Gboard downloaded. I now have 3 choices for keyboard
-Google Voice Typing
-Gboard
-Samsung Keyboard

If I have Samsung Keyboard selected over all the keys I have this
When I choose Gboard I get this which doesn't show the option for a Microphone
In settings for Gbaord I have USE VOICE TYPING selected.
I also have the choice of Samsung or Google Text to speak engine.
The only way I can use Talk to Text with the Gboard I can see is to go back into keyboard choices (bottom right) and choose Google voice typing which brings up
I do not see any way to use Google Keyboard with a microphone showing.
2. As to the mobile data toggle when I drop down from the top I get on two pages
If I choose the three button options
This is what shows. I do not see the option for any other buttons.
If you know what I am doing wrong please let me know. All I know is that there was a button for shutting data which disappeared and my samsung keyboard started making noises when you touch the microphone when it didn't before. I wish I knew more about this but it had been fine forever and then just one morning I noticed the mobile data button was missing and when I went to talk to text my wife the microphone was beeping again.
I appreciate your time and effort. I know where to look if I have PC issues I can't solve myself but when it comes to the phone this is a puzzle I can't solve. Please have a good evening.
Hi, It would be great to have an option to automatically open the keyboard when opening the app drawer, so you can instantly start typing/searching without reaching for the search bar first. Any idea on how to accomplish this task on my new s23u, asking for a freshly converted iPhone user missing spotlight.
Thanks!
I use the "home screen only" layout because I'm used to the swipe up to search function with the keyboard automatically opening. (only available without app drawer)

Have you been able to get this to work? When I click on Finder access I get two radio buttons (Home Screen and App screen) and you can't select either.
Maybe you need to disable the home screen only from your regular settings.

Not sure what you mean - I def don't want all my apps on my home screens so I have it set to "Home and Apps screens" in home screen layout. Is that what you mean???
Yeah that's what ment. If you have it like that then I'm not sure why you can't select the Apps screen radio button from Good note app.
Try updating the Home up apk or reset some settings.
Try using the Routines, its pretty powerful for all kinds of stuff like this.

I figured it out. You need to disable "swipe down for notifications" in settings to enable Home Up search. It's one or the other. If you have "swipe down for notifications" enabled, then the radio buttons in Home Up search are disabled.
This then means you need to swipe down from the top of the (very tall) screen to see your notifications. It's not really a good trade-off because you get a lot more notifications than use app search (but good for everyone to know it's an option).
Works ok here with swipe down for notification

Can you elaborate? What I'm saying is that you cannot swipe down anywhere on a home screen for both Finder (App) Search and Notifications. If you enable FInder Search anywhere on the home screen, you can only pull down the notification shade from the top of your device.
Are you seeing something different?
I swipe down from home screen to get notifications, I swipe up to get to the apps screen and then at that screen I swipe down to get the search with keyboard on focus.

Isn't that just the app drawer? Anyway, you have it set to all apps on your homescreen so we're not running the same config.

I haven't set all apps to my homescreen.
Here is a screen recording to avoid confusion.

Thanks. The issue with this is that the keyboard doesn't appear automatically with the swipe up, which was the question originally asked.
Indeed but this is expected. The Good lock feature explicitly says that you'll need to swipe down from the app screen for the keyboard to show and focus on the search bar.
What you want is to swipe down from the home screen and have the keyboard immediately show?

That's what the OP asked // the title of this thread.
If you put an icon on a home screen (ideally in the dock) for Sesame or Finder App search, that's what happens (you can start searching immediately). That's what I'm doing. 1 click instead of 2.
I know this isn't exactly what you asked, but you might like it as much or better. Use the One Hand Operation + module in Good Lock. You can set one of the 12 gestures to Finder. It comes up with the keyboard active. I use this module to define a screenshot gesture (swipe diagonally up from bottom right), which I find easier and quicker than other methods. I also define back and forward gestures.
There are a lot of interesting actions that can be assigned.
