Hey guys,
For 2 weeks already, I have a problem with the Google Search Bar widget on my S9+.
Before:
Whenever I've clicked on the search bar, a news feed with my interests would have been shown
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now:
Whenever I'm clicking the search bar, a search history is opening and at the bottom I have a "blue house" logo. If I click on that house, it will take me to the news feed I'm asking for.
The problem is that, showing the news is no longer direct and now has 0 commodity. Whenever I want to check Google News I need to press the search bar, then the blue house etc...
Is there a way to roll back to how it was before? Anyone having my issue?
What I've tried so far:
1. Clear Google Now Cache
2. Clear Google Now Data
3. Disable/Enable Google Now
4. Re-install the app/updates
5. Remove/Re-add the widget
6. Looking through Google Settings, noting found.
Please help me out, I will appreciate.
Hi Rasherr, I have the same issue. It seems that Google decides to hide more and more useful features of Google now behind menus or buttons making it harder to reach them. This makes no sense.
I get the feeling that Google either:
1) wants to hide the amount of information gathered due to recent privacy schandals (Facebook)
or
2) wants to move all the useful Google now features to Google assistant and is preparing for phasing out and eventually removing Google now.
Just my 2 cents
This worked for me....
The same problem was driving me insane! As lazy as it sounds I don't want to have to keep typing out the same search!! So here's what I did that fixed the problem for me.... in the Google app under accounts and privacy, go to manage activity I think it was (I had to dig around a bit and play with search settings too, but the final result was "do not use private results" was checked. Once I checked use private results instead I went back into the app and it's working just like it used to! I hope this helps sorry I couldn't give more detail!
Hey do you have any more details on how you did this? I looked around manage activity and could only find 'do not use private results' on my pc and I was already set to use private results. No idea where it is in the app... Do you have any more info?

Didn't know if this was the best place to put this or not, but I'm looking for an app that will allow me to enter my Facebook and Twitter status without having to open up a full program, just by typing it all in the today screen field. Think Skyfire's "Update My Status" function but on the today screen like how the optional search bar field works.
I have a 2nd today screen on my Rhodium that I use to manage a few apps that aren't TF3D friendly, and have room for a few short lines for me to type my status into Facebook and Twitter while on the go. I like how Skyfire has the options to globally change status on both FB and Twit at the same time, so if you know of something that will do that, please point me in the right direction! I've heard about the Twitter tab for TF3D, but would rather update status through FB instead of through Twit because of the 140 character limits.
All help on this subject, including how you currently update your status quickly without having to load Skyfire or enter in a mobile browswer or through texts, would be greatly appreciated!
here is a solution for twitter : http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2009/06/16/twittoday-15-post-twitter-tweets-from-windows-mobile-today-screen.html.. If u find a solution for Facebook ..let me know

that is PERFECT for Twitter, wow, exactly what I was looking for.... and like you said, now to find one that does Facebook as well! I've seen people link their FB and Twit status, is that something to look into and just use this for quick, 140 character updates?
EDIT - that only works for those who don't have "protected" Twitter accounts.... oh well!

BINGO! I knew if I kept searching I would eventually find it....
http://blog.steffanantonas.com/hack...tter-and-still-keep-your-tweets-protected.htm
Just used TwitToday and updated my status on Facebook, even though my tweets are protected on Twitter! Nice.........
Okay, in case anyone is wondering why Facebook SUCKS at updating Twitter status....... get rid of it altogether and use Yakket:
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=48449043052
Worked on the first try and my Twitter status is protected. Doesn't take 30mins to an hour to update like the stupid Twitter app on Facebook does, and even Tweeter didn't work for me. Was so tired of having to wait for status updates that are time-sensitive to post on FB using Twitter, and this works!!! Thought I'd pass on the good news!
CycHowdy Messenger
You can try the CycHowdy Messenger that I just posted...
great
Those are great tools but I would like to see an app that actually provide me some updates as well. Something like Android does with facebook.
Is there any application like this ?
I was wondering if samsung wiz would allow something like that...
As stated. I am using anti theft software that forces my phone to switch on wifi and GPS but as soon as it does I get that message telling me something is using my GPS etc. This looks suspicious to a potential thief in my opinion so I want to know if there was anyway at all I could remove or disable this pop up

Well. I have found out that Cerberus somehow disables this message shortly after it is displayed. However I prefer to use PhoneLocator Pro and that is the problem app for me. I contacted the developer and this is the reply
Hello !
This issue is because of your custom ROM you are running.
This is not happening in all the ROM's and you should ask developers of this rom how this issue can be fixed - maybe there is a way to disable this.
I will document myself on this, but I don't know if this can be fixed - even if you are saying that Cerberus doesn't have this behavior . Cereberus might be using a hack to turn on the GPS, a hack which I don't want to use cause Google is watching and these things can ban your app from the Play store.
Switch to Avast.
You can remotely lock the phone, sound an alarm, send text, forward calls, forward text, wipe phone info, gps track etc.... all through text commands. You also have the added benefit of anti-virus and firewall protection.
Best of all..... It's FREE.

I have that installed as well, it isn't as feature rich in comparison to PhoneLocator Pro or Cerberus. Plus I like to use the web based interface rather than SMS
how to disable GPS notification in coolpad note 3. I turn off the location "setting->location->OFF" but it doesn't work.
Hello everybody,
i noticed an issue this morning with google plus.
As i think you know, latitude is going to disappear and i activated the location share on google plus.
But when i go into local, i can see all my friends sharing their positions, but the map doesn't show... as a matter of fact, i see icons on a empty display.
I tried to reboot, to clear cache and dalvik, also to remove and re-install google plus app, but nothing changed... have you some idea? what kind of problem is this?
Thanks,
Claudio

Hello Diablo67,

But in this case, i should have also some problem with maps and latitude, don't i? But maps and latitude, they work fine
Moreover, my position in Google+ is good, i am tracked well... just my icon is on a blank screen, without any map under it

same here. are you also using maps beta? the new maps preview ?
The workaround for the problem is to make Google+ a system app.
I had the same problem before and it helped me.
pocketables.com/2013/07/root-user-fix-for-google-locations-blank-tilesmissing-maps.html
Thanks for the link. I have an interesting issue with my HTC one: everytime I make Google+ a system app everything is gone (app & libs) after the reboot. It doesn't matter how I copy / move the files: adb, ESExplorer or Titanium: after the reboot the files under /system/app & /system/libs are gone.
Struggling to get Redmi Note 9 Pro to store my Google Maps history.
I used to have it quite smooth in Samsung A8 and other devices, but here I only get a couple dots connected with straight lines. Mostly these points are from the moments when I unlock the phone. Locked phone doesn't allow G-Maps to get the history right.
Some exclusions: when I use Maps navigation, timeline stored is very precise.
What I have tried:
- "lock" maps in task switcher
- set permissions for Maps, services, other location-related apps - to "Allow while in use" or "Allow always" (when this option is accessible)
- disable batter-saving for these apps
- share my live location permanently to my friend through Google Maps. He can see the location, but at the same time no history/timeline stored in a smooth way.
What I would like: have the Timeline with much more details stored.

Same problem here. Very annoying!
My workaround is using http://gpslogger.app and letting it locate once per minute and upload the data to my Google drive. Thus location timeline becomes reasonable accurate.

How much battery drain does this cause? (How much more battery life would you get if you disabled this)?

Hard to tell as I'm very much confined to my home at the moment and only leave for some hours. Whenever I let the phone just rest on the table, It doesn't even locate or send the location. The other problem (random freezes and reboots) didn't happy any more since I set my 2nd sim card to 3G.
Hi, I solved this in the past but recenly I had to install again whatsapp on the same phone, and I can't remember how to do that. Also, I can't find anything in internet.
I have an annoying popup (I think it's called toast notification) that shows me an user come online. This doesn't happen often, but it does, and it does also when I?m not in whatsapp. For my privacy I don't want the people looking at my screen notify my contacts, how can I remove it?
It is something like that:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Found it ? Normally you can adjust this completely in the settings of the app.
Settings on stock ROM's and custom ROM's can differ a lot.
And ... always look to the version of the WhatsApp app ... there are very ofter updates.
Installation is usually via Google Play, although not necessary.
Hi, thanks for answer, I?m using the same version I had before, after reinstalling I got them. As I wrote this problem was present in the past, but somehow I've found where to disable them/somebody somewhere suggested me or I've read it, I can't find more such information.
It can be inside Whatsapp settings, it can be on anroid permission fot this app, I can't find it! I've searched anywhere. I would love to never receive toast notifications in amy app, not interesting for me, these is a way to disable them at all?
It's a pity whatsapp wasting my phone battery comunicating always with the server telling me who is online, I don't get a f* about that, and also I hate somebody follow me if I'm online or not! Killing my privacy!
I have whatsapp plus and I've selected "tell others I'm always online" I hope it works
No ideas where I can find this toast notification?

Your problem interested us here....there are not that many people who still use Whatsapp Plus.
There's a reason.
The Google playstore banned it from its repository. They could no longer guarantee the safety of the app. (No wonder that you could not install it from Play Store.)
I can't say whether your problem stems from this, but you might ask yourself what the
advantages of Plus are and whether they outweigh the disadvantages.
Why not just use the latest official Whatsapp ? This has already been improved a lot
and these improvements are being worked on daily.
Greetings and take care ....
thank you a lot for your support, I appreciate. As I wrote it was working good, then I had to put out my simcard to another phone and activate whatsapp there, when I've placed it back I needed to reinstall whatsapp and it misses now that setting. I was able to suppress it in the past, but I don't remember how. There shoulld be a way..
I need this to check the removed messages, and to filter my privacy only to the right persons. Whatsapp doesn't help about that, so I'll keep on this
