Google now not working - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It won't work no matter what I do. I don't even get the Google now screen. I've tried deleting data/cache. I've tried deleting my Google account and adding it again n still nothing. What can I do? I'm 100% stock.

Did you enable Google now when you first started your nexus?

What do you mean by 'not work'? Do you see the google search bar at the top of your Nexus? What happens if you press it? Can you swipe from the bottom of your Nexus upwards to bring up the Now shortcut?
I guess the brute force fix is a factory reset, not ideal but would surely work.

Try clearing caches maybe, or in a last-resort situation, factory reset?

Did you try rebooting?
Is there a button on the bottom that says "show more cards"?

Strange. If you're rooted, download and flash gapps (google apps) see if that sorts it.

Go to the play store and download google search. If you root, you can uninstall google search (and reinstall).

Unable to install non market apps on galaxy note 2

First I downloaded the tubex app from google and it installed like a charm.But when I wanted to install another app I was unable to install that the app installer didnt allow me to click up the install button.But the cancel button ws working up.so I formatted up phone with full data wipe then all non market apps were easily installing.But now again the same problem arrived.please provide me with any solution. (On stock galaxy note 2 rom for India)

This makes the most sense to me. I think the apk is the problem, not the phone. It could also be that the apk is specifically compiled for an incompatible device.
You're not using SCREEN FILTER when trying to install non-market, are you?
Don't ask me why....

Haha, yeah, I had the same trouble many months ago! I was baffled! I knew I was doing everything right, but nothing would work!
Also, just so you know, you don't need to uninstall it, you just can't have it activated when you try to install apps. I guess you just can't install apps while it's dimming your screen, but I still can't understand why.
Glad that worked for you! !

Annoying pop up alerts

I've been getting these ever since I updated to 4.3 I believe... Its not a popup that's in the notification shade, rather one that pops right in the middle of the screen, and it shows an advertisement for an app saying download free from play store (I think it had advertised a free game "paradise island") and then it tries to say why it recommended that app by showing other downloads i made off the play store.
Are these normal/from the play store or are they from a spammy app? Please help, thanks!

Nothing detected, its not something that's filling up my notification shade just a nasty popup. I went through all the games I had in my phone (not many, just 6) and unchecked the "allow notifications" option in the app settings menu. I haven't gotten one tonight, but next time I do get it I can screenshot it...

Sounds like a malicious app though, I haven't heard of popups on a phone not related to SMS notifications, or halo.

Check what is running, take a screenshot of what is running, if you don't see an app which shouldn't be there then go to the cached processes area above.

Advanced Power Menu - Working Great
XBlast - Working partially (battery modding doesn't work here on stock odex rom)
Basically every Battery module i've tested is failing,anyone else can confirm?
I was so excited and then found out that GravityBox dosen't work :/
What mods I am looking for:
1) changing songs with long press vol buttons and locked screen - XBlast Tools works
2) more toggles (rotate and flashlight) - ???
3) Pie Control - ???
So is there any module that could solve 2 and 3?

No more LED notification

Hello.
Let me explain my problem. So far I've used my GN3 SM-9005 with Stock Rom (Android 4.3) using Light Flow (LED notification) without any issues. Then I decided to root my device. At that moment it automatically downloaded Android 4.4.2. And now, I cannot have LED notification anymore!! I tried a lot of things: wiped, rebooted, changed to a custom Rom (Crash Rom) and even used other LED notification apps. It's always the same: impossible to have my LED blinking (however LED works when rebooting).
Could you please help me? I really need this functionality...
Thanks in advance!!
Try uninstalling light flow and it will work again

I've had the same problem. Finally figured out that when you use blocking mode if you look it blocks notifications. You have to make sure you have it unchecked. Lol took me awhile to figure out what was wrong with my device. And some Exposed modules will do the same. Hope this helps!
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately even by uninstalling light flow and Exposed, there is no changes...

Are you expierencing this prob with only a handful of apps or all of them? Stock or 3rd Party?
A IR remote app I use, lost the LED light when I updated to KK. I updated the app and it was fixed. Considering your LED light still works when restarting, your problem isn't Hardware, which is good.
