Google now functions - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
anyone noticed if there are voice commands in google now which are only available on mobile devices?
E.g. "remind me in 10 minutes" flat out doesn't work for me, the only 'alarm' related command is "set alarm at xx o'clock".
I found it very useful to set reminders/timers in xx minutes (played with JB quite a bit on my phone) - am I doing anything wrong here?

I've said "wake me up in thirty minutes" and it worked fine.

Tried it in every 'English' there is and in german.. but there is no way to set timers. Only alarms at specific times.
Very strange..

I've had success with "Set alarm for x minutes" and "Set timer for x minutes".

Worked for me. It will also set a label as well.

Lol.
You have to set "English (US)" as your main and google voice language in order to be able to set timers with all those mentioned phrases.. what the eff.

Works fine for me ... maybe its the non us region language thing?

Internal Clock Off?

My Tab 10.1 clock is off by about 20 seconds. I see no option for autosynch (with wifi server,etc). I'm also not rooted so an app like clocksynch wont work (at least not well). Does anyone know how the tab updates its internal clock and how to solve my issue? Thanks!
try 'clocksync', in the market. uses ntp server to sync your time. great app.

Does drop box work on the N7?

Whenever I open dropbox, get "dropbox has stopped working" is it just me, or does it just not work?

Works for me, but whenever I get an app that does that I clear the cache and data then reboot and log in again. So far that has cleared up any issue with an app that is compatible with any of my devices.
Been working fine for me since day one. Have you tried re-installing?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Perfectly okay with me. I can even stream movies from my Drop Box without cluttering with my clearwire 1.5 Mbps wifi !

Clear app data and cache. Uninstall then reinstall.
Tried all of the above and still doesn't work, I'm using the tablet UI if that has anything to do with it, but I doubt it would.

Did you tweak the dpi? Does any other cloud service do the same? Try minus, cubby, skydrive, etc...
But saying that, dropbox has been working since day 1 for me as well.

That's why it does not work. Go back to the standard dpi and get it setup. I think you can then change dpi and it will work.

I used the True Tablet Ui Patch (Link) And completely forgot to make a backup beforehand, Not sure if I can just change the DPI back again, But I'll check.
Edit: I can't, The DPI is currently at 213 |:
Edit 2: Got it working, thanks for the help.

Groove ip works but not with the default dialer, was simply trying to streamline the look. It actually works really well, so right now I'm just asking more for improving aesthetics.

Well I don't think it does use stock dialer at all. Stock dialer uses verizons ish. Groove has its own operations and google voice to call and text just uses voice. I'm pretty sure u can take out the dialer and just use groove and voice

Also thought I should share my nifty sms app I have been using.
It's called ninja sms and I got it for 1$ at the play store and I love it. Should check it out of you text quite a bit and don't want to continuously change between apps. It allows the sms to come up on the screen. Kind of like multi boxing on the s3
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
My lcuid 2 has that ability where the text will pop up and allow me to respond, delete or view without leaving the app. It is a super awesome feature.
Yeah I wish my dna had it stock but ninja sms is good for me.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Does ninja have a character count? My pop-up has a character limit, if I go into the native messaging app I can type as much as I want and it will break it into multiple messages, the pop up only allows for a single message response. I haven't decided if I like that or not. I guess it really depends on I can use that to tweet.
When I text I can send more than 120 characters and on my screen it only sends as one message. You could try it out and always refund if you don't like it.

Yeah just took a look at it and sent a large message and it sent as one huge message and didn't split into different messages. You can view a text that is more than 160 characters as long as it was sent as one big message. I don't believe it has a limit. As far as I can tell it doesn't split it up.

So I really like the way ubuntu looks. Since my dna is locked and I have no access to unlock or root the phone via software method all I can do is jtag, however I'm not going to do that so I can't flash anything. Since I love the way ubuntu looks I decided to theme my phone after it using a launcher and a ton of custom widgets. Here is what I came up with.

New Google Apps from Nexus 5 Dump

Droid Life is posting the new google apps that came from a nexus 5 which is, as you know, running android 4.4 . I can confirm the new google launcher works after installing google search and google play. Im pretty sure most others should work fine on the X. Post if working or if not!:good:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/31/download-new-google-apps-from-the-nexus-5-dump-search-launcher-and-more/#more-123662
So I have installed all of the leaked apps. The only one that did not work is the clock. I've cleared the data on the app but it didn't make a difference. In in the Verizon Moto X. Only other problem is email app is missing the exchange option for me.
Anyone else try these? Any workaround for the clock?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 4
You need to be rooted and uninstall the clock app and reinstall the leaked apk from what I've read. Android police had a write up on it.
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app
I'm rooted, followed the directions, still couldn't get it to work. No biggie...the clock isn't all that different.
Wish we had the dialer!
Can you install the new launcher without being rooted? Or is that required for all of these leaked apps? Looked like it just said side load them...
I had trouble sending mms with the new hangouts. I'm stock non rooted newest ota
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
I installed everything without root. An article I saw said to install the playstore, then search, then the launcher.

Yes, you can install new launcher without being rooted. No, you can not install that new clock without root.
Basically you can install everything but clock

wierd does the new email not do exchange?
dont install the new google now if you like your voice activation i get crashes all the time now
Thanks Derek ross for the solution
Long press the home screen, select Settings. Select Voice. Select Language to change the default. Change to another language, I choose English – UK. Hit Home. Do a Google Search. Repeat the first three steps. Change back to English – US.
also update your language pack in the settings as well.
Is the new dialer included in any of these yet?

There's no simple way to record from the phone line on apq8064. Needless to say, the way exists, and daresay I invented it))). CallRecorder (linked above) is the +only+ app so far where it has been implemented (apart from my custom CAF rom for nexus).
The hint how to do that (devs only) is in my "slow talk" post, there's a link to the sources tuneable to that matter. Yes, this is the _only_ way if you ask me, for some technical reasons.
Then the app should free ...

Shouldn't. Just because Sasha really's working hard, and provides great support for each and every device.
The call recording itself, it's free, and was done (by me) on his request.
As the matter of fact, I earned _no_ money for that, and you're _absolutely free_ writing an app yourself if you like)))

You can send a Debug Report (from Troubleshooting screen), we'll be happy to assist. The app is developed on a Nexus 4 (among other devices) so it should resolve quickly.
