Hi, i've been searching the nexus forum through but haven't found any solution that would work on my tablet.
My problem is this: i bought the UK nexus 7 and am using it in the scandinavia. whenever i try to assign a voice command like "set alarm to 21:30" or "show pictures of cyanogenmod", it just does a google search and shows the results. I can't see any of the cards nor can i use any of the voice commands.
I tried switching the tablet language to english (US and UK) and install all the offline voice recognition libraries. I've also gone through the google now setup and allowed all location information etc.
In another thread it was suggested that i should get a trial of google apps for business and from there switch on the google one for my tablet, but this seems completely ridiculous (and it won't solve the fact that also the voice commands are not working).
Does anyone have a hint on what i should try next to get the commands to work and cards to show?
Works for me when it finally understands me. Settings are English US and it will play tracks, tell me the weather, search apps and set alarms from what I've tried so far.

the problem here is not that it would not understand me. the problem is that it understands completely well the sentence "set alarm at 21:30" but it does a google search of it! whatever command i try from the google voice commands list at google help center, it just does a google search. it does not set alarms, it does not show pictures of androids, it does not show me a weather card. i just get a google search result for "weather in xyz"
i find this puzzling

I'm in the UK, but as long as the device region is set to US (Settings > Language & Input), it works fine. I can say "remind me to drop a coil at 8 O'Clock tomorrow" and I get an alarm set, or "Show me pictures of black cats", and lots of kittehs come up...
You lot not downloaded the UK English pack?
That's strange, if I'm using the french command for "Open Gmail" for example, it does a google search of "open Gmail". I even tried the english sentence, and it does the same thing.
I changed my phone language, tried "Open Gmail", it does a google search and then, says Opening apps and Gmail starts !
I'm using CyanogenMod 10.1 M1
AW: Voice commands and google now cards not working in EU
You have to change the system language too.

I know that, but I don't want. Is it a bug, is there plan to correct this ? Is it a Google issue or is it CM ?

It's not a bug, it was meant like this. Google now needs that you use a us or Canadian English as the system language. I would like that there was one in French though.

Even though 'Language and Input Settings' have something to do with this, you also need to change 'ACCOUNTS AND PRIVACY' settings in Google Now settings. You need to enable 'Google location settings'. If already enabled, try also switching on 'Google Location Reporting' > 'Location Reporting' > it should be 'On for this device'. Hope this helps!
Does anyone know how to force Google Maps to show metric values for nearby items?
At the moment if I tap on a station it will show me the rough distance and stations nearby in miles. My HTC One XL is showing the distance in metric. I have set my local to English (Australia) with "Locale Select" app on the Nexus 7, but it doesn't fix the problem. Kind of stupid that the device is sold in Australia yet it doesn't come with "English (Australia)" locale to be selected.

Same issue and have posted the problem here and elsewhere with no solution . My last post was to a thread by Google Maps regarding their latest update.
Oddly, if you Navigate to one of the Local results the navigation is in km. Beats me.
I have the same issue, also I haven't got the option to select English Australian as an input language/keyboard. I can select it in Google Now though.
This could be because I unlocked flashed the stock ROM though.
I'm in France and although my Nexus was bought in UK and I have set it to English (UK) - Google - in their infinite wisdom insist that I buy any films in French.
Is my only solution to use a proxy IP - and if so what is the best way to do this on a Nexus 10.
Google obviously aren't very international in their thinking.
Have you tried going in app settings and clearing the cache and data, and then turning off all location services before opening the play store?

Thanks.
Yes I have. Location services are disabled anyway - so I don't now how they know where I am - but they do!!
It is amazing that on the Google page there is nothing to allow you to choose what language films you want to see.
They know from your IP.
Try using tunnelbear for example

Cunning buggers!
I'll give Tunnelbear a try
Ta.
Tunnelbear has sorted it out. I'm trying to pay for some extra bandwidth on it but Google keep on bouncing the payment!!
I hate having to break in a new computer.
Hello,
Recently picked up a new note 4.
When I set the phone up initially, I had ok google everywhere.
Now it's gone.
I checked the settings, and ok google everywhere is not avail in my language.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
John

Solved.
Basically my preferred language was English (Canada), and not USA. Apparently there's a difference. Who knew 'eh?
Got it working once I switched that. Damn Canadians.

Issue caused by S Voice. Disactivate Voice Wake-Up function from S-Voice to get Ok Google Everywhere back
Ever since activating my Nexus 6P the Google app has set itself to have safe search on and will not let me turn it off. From the Google settings page on from a browser it shows that it should be off for my account. I cannot change this for some reason. Has anyone seen this before?

I just noticed this as well ...I am not having issues on my PC or my nexus 5 on cyanogen. I have searched some Google forums and I was not able to find a fix. If someone knows a fix please lead us in the right way.
Edit: also It is seems this is the same any browser I downloaded using different search engines.
Just to add I have the same issue
