I have an Alcatel Spop
Pretty new to Android.
Downloaded a book on Google Play Books.
Started to read it OK.
Decided having it read to me would be nice.
So enable talkback in the OS settings.
Problem is everything talks back, even notifications as they come in.
So I turned it off.
Can it be enabled on a single app ??
Thanks
Jim

I'm using a stock, unrooted Photon. Yesterday I opened the Market, it closed quickly, and refused to restart. Nothing happened when I selected the icon.
Same issue this morning, so I decided to reboot, and now my Market icon has disappeared, replaced by an icon that looks like a settings icon.
Selecting edit on that icon, it still refers to the Market. When I list my apps, Market is not present.
So now I don't know how to access (or update) my Market app.
Any guidance is appreciated.

I don't have your device, but with the timing I'd suggest that it might be related to Google Play. Play's Google's new market, there are a few of them... Play Music, Play Books, etc etc etc
Try installing Play from the web interface.

AHA!
Play Market was in my Apps list, problem solved. Thanks for the tip!
A better notification from Google regarding this would have been helpful.
Yes, google would have been wise to pop up a notification when they changed the market. My girlfriend texted me in a panic thinking she broke something because market was missing.

They actually fixed it in the newest version.

Hey everyone! Looks like Google rolled out a silent update a few weeks ago that effected multiple HTC devices. Whenever you use any location based apps, it would alert you with a message stating something similar to "please turn on location services..".
A few confirmed apps affected include:
Google Now
Google Maps
Facebook (when checking in)
Instagram (when tagging location)
etc..
The fix?
Download this updated version of the Google Play Store, install, and reboot your phone. That's it!

No, you don't have to be rooted, but you will need to enable "Unknown Sources" in your settings before installing.
If this helps, please give me kudos

I did a trip and used google maps for the whole trip and i noticed that im no longer getting notifications for directions. When i check the wear app where you can select which app to launch for directions etc it appears blank and i can't seem to select google maps. Ive reset the watch, reinstalled the app including google maps on my phone and nothing seems to work. Any help?
I think it's the new version of wear.
Same issue here.
Google Wear is a mess if you ask me. Nothing works properly.
My phone is a LG G3 T-Mobile, running on 5.0.1 LP OTA updates.
After setting up my zenwatch2 with my phone, the watch pop up the
"Get google play services Android Wear won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone“
On my phone I am running Android Wear ver. 1.3.0.2369832
Google play services ver. 8.3.00
I have done multiple factory reset on the watch but still pop up after synchronising with my phone.
What could be the issue? Watch seems to work fine. Text and notifications shows up fine.
Try to restart the google play services on phone
I've disable it on the phone then it said it will revert to old version. But it didn't. No option under google play for uninstall update. Its greyed out. Once I disable on the phone, well I tried, I reboot and then factory reset zenwatch. Then repeat the entire pairing process all over again. Still nothing. So, I don't know.
When i started the first time, and after I FDR'd I got the message. It went away quickly though.

I've had this message on my SWR50, too, when BT connection to the phone (Edge+) got lost. Android Wear app on phone showed a "connecting" message, while the watch was complaining about missing services. I've rebooted both phone and watch, now it's fine. Hope this does not happen again with the ZW2, which will arrive in 14 days.
I tried everything. It still pop up once in awhile. I am running Blisspop ROM for my lg g3 T-Mobile. Everything is up to date. So, I don't know. Both watch and phone running on lp 5.1.1 ... So, j can't see the conflict there. Both play services updated to current version.
I've had it show up briefly once or twice, but it quickly goes away. Seems like just a minor bug.

You need Google search to fix the problem.. Make sure Google search is not disable. Clear the cache on Google search in app settings. Then don't open Google search. Because that will be a battery drain.

Thanks.
I've updated all the gapps. So far it hasn't pop up on the watch, yet!
Been working fine lately.
It would been nice if the connection range is further. Seem pretty short distance, then it will get disconnected.

It would make this watch 10x better if the issues get hammered out.
Look forward to your work.
This is happening on Moto 360 (1st gen) too. Been using the watch fine on my Moto X '13, then today factory reset it paired it with my new phone (moto x pure) and it works fine for a bit, then this notification comes on my watch screen and the watch disconnects. All play services and such are up to date
Every time I factory reset it and re pair it with android wear it will appear once or twice then disappears
It is normal across all Android wear devices. Android Wear requires that Google Search is installed and enabled (not disabled, lol). I have a tendency to disable this feature when I am going through disabling apps on a fresh boot. Just make sure Google Now is able to launch. You don't have to accept to use Google Now, but you should be able to swipe up on home to launch search.

The real reason for that to pop up. Is when the device gets disconnected from the phone. And you are right about Google search.
Hi everybody,
So yesterday I updated to emui and Android 9. Today I had to discover that the "okay Google" feature doesn't work anymore. If I open the search manually or drag up from bottom screen corners it listens but I can't fire it up with saying "okay Google".
I checked the options in the phone and the ones in the Google app an both were deactivated but not grayed out. The problem is when I try to turn them on they get turned off automatically in less than a second.
I think it has something to do with huaweis assistant wich I don't want to use. Is speech activation now blocked or is it a bug?
BTW I actually own a mate 10 pro but I posted here because I don't know if the problem comes from Android or emui and because the 20 came to my knowledge shipped with the update but the 10 did not.
Please excuse my English I'm not a native speaker and thanks to everybody
I set mine up did the ok Google, hey Google steps. But when I tried to use it, it wasn't detecting my voice. After a bit of fiddling around I managed to get it working. Below is what I did.
Cleared cache and storage
Disabled App
Enabled App
Downloaded update from playstore
Reboot
Setup voice detect
Retrained voice.
Tested it worked several times
Rebooted
Test again still works
Genuine question, why do you all use this feature? What uses does it have? I just pick up my phone to do what I need to do. I'm just curious, might even give me a reason to use it lol

It's a known problem since 6 months by Google on many many many devices
I just started a thread on this... It seems to me like the new Pie permissions are an issue and one of the coders didn't get the memo that now you need to make Google app or Assistant a Trusted Agent to unlock your phone. Been trying things for days to get this working.... Such a piss off. Especially when I'm driving and I need to say Ok Google, take me to the closest Home Depot. Gfs frustrating
Edit: if I get a ticket for holding my phone... I'm gonna blame it on Google
