[Q] Wake me up in ten minutes - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I was unrooted I was able to ask Google Now to wake me up and it would set the alarm. Now when I ask, all that happens is that I get search results. Is there a way of getting the original function back? Cheers!

That's odd for Google Now to be acting up. I just tried exactly what you said and it set an alarm for me. Not to sound stupid, but did you reboot and try again?

Yes, I've had this issue with all the ROMs I've tried apart from MIUI.

Strange i just tried and it search's google also, stock rooted

Also, stock-rooted. Brought up Now and said 'set alarm for 10:10 am'. Now says 'setting alarm' and gave me an alarm notification. Alarm went off at 10:10. Then I said 'wake me up in 10 minutes' and Now said, 'setting alarm' and gave an alarm notification for 10 minutes later. I could do this from the swipe up to google now or from the voice search icon I placed in the Nova launcher dock. Are you sure you have Google Now active in the Now settings?

And location services must be on I believe. That's so they know where they need to go to wake you up
I just tried 5 minutes and it sets the alarm. Also a web search result popped up for a second then disappeared.
Not rooted.

System Language must be set to "English (United States)" in order to perform those voice commands.
I don't understand why, but this is the only language setting with working "wake me up/remind me" commands.

Lol!
I tried each suggestion but it makes no difference. I asked for my alarm to be set for a particular time and that actually works. So I'll use that for my naps in future. Unless there are other suggestions?

I've had the same thing (rooted tablet). First it would just show up search results. Then it started working (sort of). It said it was setting the alarm for 10 minutes but i got a toast notification saying it was said for 5 hours.
Could it be the recent google search update?

Well I never the change of language to english USA has made this work again lol

The weirdest thing about it
My phone's Google Now wins all awards (Rooted, Jelly Bean 4.1.2 by Bruce2728) of weirdness!
Everything less than 6 hours works! So
"wake me up after 6 hours"
sets an alarm
BUT
"wake me up after 7 hours"
does NOT work and just does a Google search.
For those of you it's working, can you check if it's the same for you? In less than 6, all rounded minutes OR rounded hours work.
More interesting observations:
Wake me up after <any non rounded minutes or hours like these above> goes to Google search.
Explicit alarm commands like "set alarm" and not "wake me up" like : "Set an alarm for after <any value less than 6 hours" actually adds the value to current time, but the same command for anything more than 6 (like 7) sets an alarm for that absolute hour, like 7 in the morning.
It listens correctly, but doesn't set correct alarms for non-rounded minutes or hours like "set an alarm after 1 hour and 30 minutes" or "set an alarm after 1.5 hours" sets incorrect alarms in these two cases

Wierd. Wake me in 6 hours sets the alarm for six hours from now, wake me in 7 gives search results exactly as you said. I can 'set alarm for 7 am' and that works.

Nice to know others are seeing the same problem. I had read somewhere that 6 hours is the minimum sleep you should take daily to still be healthy enough. May be Google doesn't want us to sleep more and do some work instead

Try this just for kicks -
Say "remind me to wake up in seven hours"
what happens?

Humm ... Very strange. Creates an alarm if I say "remind me to wake up in six hours" by adding 6 hours in the current time, but if I say 7, again says "setting alarm", but just gives me to the link to 'Set alarm' myself and takes me to the alarm app if I click that. Doesn't set any time itself !
Doesn't work for any hour after 6. What's up Google !!

setting alarm with google now!

hi there,
first of, excuse my bad english, i think for google now to work properly you need to set the language in google now to the same as your android system language.

[Q] Wakeup Alarm does not sound in silent mode

All, im coming from an x10 to the new GS2 and very happy for the most part!!
However, I do have an issue.When the phone is in silent mode (vibration) the wakeup alarm does not sound, only a vibration is felt. I have checked the option "no sounds except media and alarms" to no avail. Is anyone else having this same issue?
Hi,
How did you set up your alarm? Wake up alarms shuld be set up using Clock app, then Alarm option. Maybe you used Calendar app with recurring date of event which theoretically can work as wake up alarm too I'm asking this because Calendar reminders are vibration-only in silent mode which is much like situation you describe.
Regards
Krzysiek
In the settings menu, go into the sound menu and check the volumes out. There is a dedicated setting for alarm volume.

I totally hear you!!! Alarms scare sh1t out of me sometimes.
Mine is set to alarmType=Melody and "smartAlarm" enabled with settings "5 min, Morning". As I said, with these settings it will start 5 minutes before the scheduled time and gently wake you up with a nice calm sound. The intensity will gradually grow until you wake up or until max intensity is reached (I missed the alarm a few times even at max intensity).
How to snooze the alarm once it starts ringing? Only option comes is to STOP it. How do i snooze?

I am currently giving your rom a try .
After a few minutes I found one thing that is really annoying (i already tried to change the behavior of the hardware key)..When i open a chat window (ex. whatsapp), the screen timeout (15 sec) comes and i click the homebutton ...the app is closing. Is there any way to disable that?
At the moment i also have a lot of batterydrain.. mh...(after the 1 charge)

The app is not closing you just sent it to work in background . Just hold the home button and you'll see the app in recents view. And change the interval of screen timeout for at least 1 min.
About battery drain change the governor of the kernel.
Install from playstore Nofrills cpu to change the governor as conservative .
You'll not notice any lag in games or apps .

Google Now voice commands

Hi,
Recently i've been having problems with some of Google Now's voice commands. Prior to the Google Now update last week I was able to set myself reminders using my voice i.e "Remind me that dinner is ready in 20 minutes" - This would then set an alarm on my phone to remind me in 20 minutes time.
However when I use that same command now, it saves a "note" instead and does not remind me.
I've also noticed that some of the other commands I used to use (Play, Listen to, Navigate To etc) now result in a Google Search instead.
Wondered if anyone could help?
Same issue here.
I used google now for boiling eggs. For instance, telling Now to "set alarm in 8 minutes" would alarm me in 8 minutes.
What it does now is it sets an alarm at 8pm, titled "minutes". This actually made me overcook my eggs yesterday, haha.
I cleared the app's cache but to no avail. I haven't bothered clearing the app data. This probably is the new way this command is handled, and I hope they will revert it. By the way, do you happen to have Google Keep installed? I'm thinking that the note-setting may be related to that...

Yeah I downloaded Google Keep a few days before the commands stopped working. I'll try uninstalling it now and see if that makes a difference. If it is the new way the command is handled, I hope Google revert it back to the old way.

That didn't fix it for me, though. d'awwww
All good for me. "set reminder to ... at 9 o'clock tonight' set an alarm with almost the right description. I'd like it better if it went into tasks instead though and set a reminder alarm.
"Set timer for 1 minute" also set an alarm for 1 minute from current time.

Swipe Up From Home Button to Lock Screen -- Sharing what I discovered...

The same gesture that you do to get to Google Now can be changed to turning the device/screen off.
Just install this free app called "Screen Off And Lock": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.katecca.screenofflock&hl=en
Then swipe up from Home (like you would to get to Google Now) and it'll ask you to set a new default:
{
"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"
}
Grant it permissions, and now, every time you swipe up from Home, you can lock your screen/device from anywhere! Great for those who don't want to overuse the power button, and for those who obviously don't use Google Now like that.
To get rid of it, just go to "Screen Off and Lock" app in your App settings and Clear Defaults (or just uninstall the app).
Just thought I'd share.
Thank you! I love the apps like this.
love it, if only i can swipe up to turn on
Thanks for sharing.

Bricked kernel supports both tap to wake as well as swipe to wake BUT battery train increases by about 2-3x on idle above having it off. It goes from 0.5 to 1% per hour w/o these enabled to 2-3% w/ enabled. These are both customizable (enable/disable) but be aware of the drain.
This is great for one handed operation when you don't want to reposition the phone.
Very cool, just what my N5 was needing!
Thanks for highlighting this app.
This app disabled the double tap to wake function of the bricked kernel. That is unfortunate, because having both of these running in conjunction would make the N5 a 1 handed notification checking, song changing device when its on your desk or table.
EDIT: Just kidding it was disabled for some reason. I had it set to reenable after start up...so I don't know what happened.

Lol. It's the exact same amount as Google Now. It is only listening when the screen is already on, which would otherwise be waiting for an upward swipe for Now.

[Q] Google Now and always listening

Dear all,
I would like to hear from you about Google Now shortcut and "always listening" feature like we find on Moto X. I'm tempted about Moto X price/specs but I'm kind of disapointed about his camera and would like to know if is there a way to use those features (always listening with google now) on Note 4.
I read about some tweaks with Tasker killing S-Voice and lauching Google Now instead but I'm searching for a more "natural" alternative.
Is there any chance to get this on note 4?
Nova Launcher allows you to enable that on any phone, and I am enjoying it on my M8
If its not "default" on the note4, I will just enable it that way..

Edit: I just tried on my friends phone, it only work with the screen on right?
well, I have had it activated almost from the first day I had my M8, so not sure what the battery impact is..my battery still lasts all day, which is what I expect from any modern flagship phone..
and yes, it only works when the phone screen is on, but I use gravity screen anyways, so once I pick up my phone, the screen comes on anyways.
I will be curious to see how the newest version of S Voice works on the Note 4..

Yes only when screen on. There is an app (don't remember it's name, just google it) that enables it when screen is off, but that will drain a lot battery.

Thank you. I think you may reffering the OpenMic+ and I agree with you, it seems that will really kill the battery.

Dear all,
I would like to hear from you about Google Now shortcut and "always listening" feature like we find on Moto X. I'm tempted about Moto X price/specs but I'm kind of disapointed about his camera and would like to know if is there a way to use those features (always listening with google now) on Note 4.
I read about some tweaks with Tasker killing S-Voice and lauching Google Now instead but I'm searching for a more "natural" alternative.
Is there any chance to get this on note 4?

there is option inside Google Now for listening but yeah when screen off it doesn't work...
+ if you want exactly same app like what is on moto X devs can port that app for other phones...
(if i buy Note4 I will try to do this )
:good:

Unfortunately, It seems that is not just port the app. If I understood well reading AnandTech review and other posts on this thread the responsible for "always listening" is a dedicated CPU from Texas Instruments called C55x. Using openMic or any other tweak without the proper hardware is just a dirty solution.

Till two or three days ago I thought the same, that's why I didn't understand the reason no other brand (sony, samsung...) was implementing the 'always listening' since they use the same SoC. But according to others, the c55x is the reponsible for this and not the S801/S805.
"Always-on" function gone and replaced by "From any screen". Why?
When you go to the settings of Google Search/Voice/OK Google Detection/
one should see the "Always-on" option.
I used to have it, but right now it´s gone and got replaced by "From any screen". I don´t know how that happened.
The problem is, "From any screen" doesn´t work when the display is OFF.
The "Always-on"-function does work also when the display is OFF.
I already re-installed Google Search, but that didn´t help either.
Anyone got an idea how to get the "Always-On"-function back?
Language and input/voice search/audio history set to ON/OK Google detection/
I hope it will help.

Done that already a few times.
The problem is not that it doesn´t recognize the voice, the problem is that I can´t get it to work when the screen is OFF. It works fine when the screen is on.
turn off bluetooth
set up S-voice completely
open google search, go to settings, google now
turn everything on, retrain it to recognize your voice, also turn on work from any screen
turn off your screen and try it again
what rom are you on?

Done all that already. But I don´t think that "turn on work from any screen", will help anything because this function works only when the screen is ON.
But I want GoogleVoice to work also when the screen is OFF.
Does it work on your device, Wase4711?

yes, it works on my cm 12 remix rom, and has worked on most of the roms I have tried in the last few months.
I always have set it up following the exact instructions I posted above
Thanks for your screenshot.
Now, please compare with mine: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lg74my71ux0ajaa/GoogleVoice%20settings.jpg?dl=0
Can you see the difference?
