Google Now Not Working - Verizon LG G3

All of a sudden I cannot get Google Now to work. When I try to use the widget it just says to check the network connection. This happens both on 4G and wifi. Also, when I long press the home button all that happens is the old standard search screen comes up but no Google Now cards show up. I am on complete stock which I reverted to in hopes of fixing the issue. Anyone else have this issue?

I have the same issue. It just started for me after updating to the LP 23A update. I reverted back and restored my 12B backup and still the same issue. Tried toggelin data on and off wipe cache in recovery,singing out of Google and uninstalling Google Now.
None of this worked for me, and I'm at a loss as to how to fix. Been Google searching how to fix (irony), to no avail.

I just noticed today that my Cards weren't working. Google just put out an update to "Google" on the 26th. I'm not sure if that's what caused the issue or not.

I found a post on a motoX forum about it and followed some steps that someone else said resolved their issue.
- Open Google via the app or click your Google search bar.
- Long press your APPS button (next to your home button at the bottom) to bring up the settings in Google.
- When settings opens, select NOW CARDS.
- When next screen opens select DELETE CARD PREFERENCES and select DELETE in next window that pops up.
- This will log you out of Google and return you to the NOW CARDS settings page.
- Click the SHOW CARDS on/off toggle at the top of the screen to turn it ON.
- Click where is says "sign in" under MANAGE CARD HISTORY.
That's it. You should be done and cards should be working again.
Worked for me. Good luck.

Unfortunately the toggle button for the google now cards is grayed out and the network connection error is next to it

So I think I found a solution. This worked for me, so I hope it helps.
1. Open Now and go to settings
2. Click On Cards, then Delete card preference
3. Click on Manage card history, this will open a browser setting, then I deleted the entire history
4. Network error want away and I could toggle on card.
5. Blamo.
Sorry I see the same remidy was posted.

I got this resolved. I had to flash all the way back to version 10b

[Q] How To navigate Android Applications?

I just got my CM7 up and running on my NC.
As someone who spend most of his life using PC applications, I think running an Android take some getting used-to.
My question, when you move from one menu (inside an app) to another, how do you navigate back, like the <- button on a browser.
For example, I was running the the File Manager, and with one false touch, it went into the Advanced Feature (Exclude from media scan). Now I am struck in this page, hitting the n button just terminated the app, but if I am to restart it, it went right back to the same page.
Now I am frustrated as hell
Dont you have the Back button at the notification area together with the rest of touch buttons like Home, Options etc?
Once inside the page (also happened in other app too), there is only two ways out: hitting n or press the power button until the menu showed up. And I don't see the kind of options you mentioned.
Go to Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Tablet Tweaks >
then uncheck "Disable Fullscreen".
But, when I entered the screen you mentioned, my status bar never goes away...
You should have some icons on your status bar, there..
Also under Tablet Tweaks setting, under Choose soft-buttons, make sure Menu and Back are at least checked.
Which version of CM are you running anywho? These soft buttons were added quite a while ago.
I was using the Encore 164.
When I run the Cyanogenmod Settings, it crashed with the message The application has stopped unexpectedly, please try again.
The problem just repeated.
I don't know if it will help you but this is what you're looking for.

It's in the status bar. The instructions above are to make sure the status bar is showing and that you haven't somehow removed the back button. If you still can't get CyanogenMod Settings to open you might try restarting your Nook. That's one PC trick that still applies to Android.
I rebooted the NC many times, and without CyanogenMod Settings to run, look like I am out of luck .

Use the rom manager to flash the latest nightly, the installation should take care of your issue for you.
Something else that might help:
/settings/cyanogenmod settings/tablet tweaks/choose unhide button
I have mine set for volume down.
If I ever lose the status bar, I can just hit volume down to make it show again, and get that back button available again.
Now you can make it go away when watching movies or playing games, and if you need to use it you can summon it at your whim.
Thanks to all those responded.
I have since redid my CM7 (format/clear cache, data and what not) and after that, I could see the soft <- button at the bottom of the screen and cyanogenmod settings is no longer crashed.
Again, a big THANK YOU to all of you!

Can't push "install" soft-key buttons to install app

This happens occasionally with Amazon apps, when I try to install an update. It's also just happened again when I bought the Humble Bundle of apps, and it won't install when I try to push the install button once I open the .apk. Anyone know a work-around or have experienced this as well?
I will restart and post my findings.
For those who don't know what the Humble Bundle is, it's a bundle of four, great games, that YOU choose the price for. Read this article to learn a little more about it: Pay what you want for this Android Bundle
I couldn't install after reboot either...

So, that install button won't work for any .apk...
Turn off screen filter.. it blocks the install button for some reason.
This is not a glitch with phone or whatever.. its the screen filter app..disable it and hit install and it will work

It's an app that just makes the screen more dim than even Android can. You can set a default dimming level too.
That's is a stupid, stupid bug too, but at least I know why and it's now documented here. Thanks all.
Has anyone had this problem more recently?
I've been experiencing it on CM 10.1 ROMs, and only a complete wipe and reflash seems to fix the problem.
It would seem that SOMEWHERE, I need to wipe some kind of data out, but I don't know what. I'm having this exact situation right this second. Can't hit 'next' or can't hit 'install'.
4/11+ CM 10.1.
I don't see that 'Screen Filter' application. Nothing in apps called that. Does it have a different name?
Thank You

Any persistant overlay may prevent usage of the "install" or "next" button when installing an app from the SD card, whether it's screen filter or HALO. Chat heads, Ninja SMS, floating battery stats, etc are all possible culprits.
This is a safety built into android to prevent an app from popping up an overlay over the required permissions list and showing a "safe" list of required permissions on top of the real list of persmissions that allow it to read your texts, pick your wallet, and root around in your underwear drawer.

My Saviours!
I would just like to give a hearty THANK YOU for this thread.
I have been bashing my head against the desk trying to figure out WHY the hell I could not press the install button.
I have Twilight installed that dims your screen based on time of day. I followed the directions of turning it off, and look at that, it worked.
So what have I learned today?
There is ALWAYS an asnwer for something to not work as normal. It is a matter of asking the right question to find that answer.

App Drawer Organization

My stock HTC View on HC has been working excellent until recently. Now, my apps are not in alphabetical order. The apps on the SD card are lumped to the back of the apps and they are in a random order to boot.
These apps have been on the SD card from day 1.
Is there anyway to correct the app drawer order without having to use another launcher?
Anybody got an idea?
At the bottom of the app drawer screen are three links. Sounds like you have the "Downloads" one selected. This shows the apps you installed in the reverse order of when you downloaded them. If you click the "All" link, it should liste them all in alphabetical order.
The reason the Downloads area is arranged that way is so that you can easily find the latest apps you installed.

Not much help but, I have the same situation (8 or 9 apps at the end and out of order) I have no idea what causes it.
Sorry Nick. I should have specified that I have the "All" tab selected. They are out of order in the "All" tab...

Had to move them from my sd to my tablet and then back to sd. Hoping they stay in order now. Don't want to have to do it routinely.
@Kudzus ....
I think what throws off the app drawer order for the all tab is how "you" un install an app. If you go settings> applications the order will remain it seems.
If you just press and hold until the un install option appears on the home screen that is when out seems to mess things up.

Thanks NinjaMom, as per your post I moved my apps to internal storage and the app drawer displayed in order. I then moved them back and the app drawer still displayed in order. If I reboot they will be messed up again.
It seems like anytime the list gets refreshed any apps on sd card will be displayed at the end of the app drawer.
Strange Huh
I shut my tablet off every evening. My app drawer has remained in sync. Are you rooted? I'm stock HC.
Sorry to be slow getting back to you. I’m at Daytona and jumping from network to network.
Yep I’m rooted … I’ll try moving and rebooting when I get back to hotel tonight.

Strange Behavior with my Galaxy a10e that just started the other day urgent

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.

Question Google Maps / Bluetooth calling issue!

So I connect to my work van via Bluetooth and use Google Maps with multiple stops.
When I'm on the phone to a friend while Google Maps is running in the foreground and phone in background and I arrive at a stop, instead of being able to click "continue" and go on the the next stop, my phone automatically switches back to the ongoing phone call! I then have to switch back to Google Maps and click continue and sometimes it takes a few seconds to continue to the next stop and I notice my data shows H+ and not LTE so I'm assuming it has something to do with the data somehow dropping connection when I'm on a call and then comes back when I open Google Maps again!
Anyone else had this issue? It's really annoying when I have multiple stops and on a call!
A solution could be to enable VoLTE.

VoLTE is already enabled and it is on WiFi preferred but shouldn't be an issue because my old S10+ was on the same and had no issues with it all
You have described 2 issues. 1) after disconnecting a call, maps doesn't appear but rather the phone app. Solution: go to phone settings and change the "call display while using app" to small pop-up. 2) data switching to H+ when on call...VoLTE should solve this which apparently is already enabled and you say is not working...for this does the VoLTE logo appear on the status bar..if not, you need check with your phone company to give you VoLTE enabled sim card.

1) the call does not disconnect it is ongoing but rather when I get to the next stop on Google Maps because I have multi-stops, the phone app automatically pops back up full screen even tho in settings, it is set to small popup.
2) Yes, the VoLTE symbol is in status bar always
Edit; I'm guessing this option below "Keep calls in popup" might solve my issue?!
