Problems with Google Now since 4.1.2 Update. - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title states I have been having problems with Google now since the update to 4.1.2. I'm am running unrooted life stock Jelly Bean and the issue I am having seems to be Google now hanging up while attempting to answer a question. The questions that start with a "Who is" seems to cause it the most trouble. Once I ask the question it will ding to show it accepted the question but then it will just spin looking for an answers without ever answering the question. This issue could also likely be attributed to the October 29 voice search update Google pushed through the place store.
I never had this issue until I upgraded, so I am asking the community of experts here.
Have you encountered this issue?
If you have how did you fix it?
Than you guys for reading and sorry for the post length.

Hey, I'm having the same problem - I have also tried reverting the app back, reinstalling the update, factory wipe of the nexus 7 and wiped cache etc. No luck here I HAVE found that if you ask (by voice) something like "how tall was Napoleon Bonaparte" it works perfectly and very quickly. Also, while web search does not work 99 percent of the time (I find it does after a reboot for one go then stops working) image search through Google search works perfectly.
This only happens with Google search, not chrome.
Let me know if you find a solution.

I am having the same issue. First search works stops working after that.

When did it start for each of you? I may not have noticed it as I haven't used Google search much lately....

It seems the microphone isn't working for me at all most of the time unless I reboot. I'm on stock rooted. Its definitely hosed up.
Go here and add your bug reports or logs: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39172&thanks=39172&ts=1351764881

Having search problems here also.
Basically, hasn't worked for me since day 1 after purchasing the 32GB version this past Tuesday & installing 4.1.2 JB.
Same symptoms - whether type or voice search using the search box at top of the screens: hangs on web search & other search with link tabs at bottom giving no results.
Image searches do produce results though...odd.

Changing search options to Google.com from Google.co.UK fixed it for me.

Can you explain how?

Yes, changin search option to google.com solved the problem for me.
This could be done in main settings-google (accounts)-search option...

I've got the same problem. Makes no difference if I am on Google UK or Google. Com. Bah.

Sorry, I don't seem to have that option in Settings > Accounts > Google > Search. Could you be more clear on the steps to get to the option you refer to?

There it is at settings>google>search>search on google.com... check this option.
It is also at Google app settings in Privacy & accounts
Im on stock 4.1.2

Looks like they are aware of it: per Kousha N.

I just did it, and for some strange reason it WORKS...i've done at least 5 searches, vague ones, and it searched the web. THANKS!!!
EDIT: But NOW, it won't do the voiceback like "What is 3 times 3" it should come back with "The answer is 9" now it just does a web search...
EDIT2: Ok I rebooted device after checking and UNCHECKING the option, and it works TOTALLY now. I am a happy camper ^_^

Thanks guys for all the responses, I am glad I am not alone in this. It seems like it's getting better but the voice search is still not performing the way it used to. If I try to search for info on say Micheal Jordan, it doesnt read back his information like it used to. I don't get the card anymore either I just get the google search. I hope they find a fix for this soon.

Google Maps vs "Locations"

Weird problem here. Since the update OTA, whenever I press the address part of a contact in People it opens the address in the HTC Locations app. Before it used to open it in Google Maps. Ideas?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I have this also. Can't find out how to switch the thing back either. Kind of annoying really because I just don't seem to click with the locations app.
ability to pick between Locations and Google Maps would be great. I am having the opposite problems with addresses in my Calendar opening in Google Maps instead of the HTC Navigation.
My suspicion is that HTC are attempting to put their app (which has potential to make them money via licenses) front and centre.
Sure, you can still use Google Maps but don't expect it to be integrated with Sense!

Yep. Address opens Locations. Don't know if it used to open GMaps, though, because I never use that feature (usualy I know how to get to the people in my address book ).
try going to the locations app and checking if there are any default settings set.
You can't change it.

Just checked and mine does the same. It used to open in Google maps. As you say, HTC are probably just pushing their own SW.
It would be be nice to be able to choose which mapping SW opened BUT it'd be even nicer if you could just *view* the full postal address in a window if it's too long for the one line in the People app! (There's another thread on this somewhere). When it opened Google maps you could touch the 'flag' and it would then open a text window with the address but I haven't found a way to do this with Locations yet .......
Why is such a simple thing not included, even as an option????? As someone here said, we usually know how to get to people in our *contacts*. Mapping is to find unknown addresses!!!!!
I feel a *request* to HTC coming on.....

Sygic Aura doesn't work on 1.72 either. Just keeps erroring out. Same software works fine on 1.32 and on Cyanogenmod. Not sure if its a coincidence but its a very strange one.
Ok found the problem.
Go to:
Settings
Locations
Check "Integrate google navigation with locations"
Then everything will be back to normal.

which Aura do u mean? I have tried 2.1 and it works perfectly... to be honest - not so perfectly while it crashed 2 times while browsing the maps and switching views (not normal driving usage); however it starts and goes well. Maybe u have to update the soft - there was an actualization a few weeks ago.
HTC replied:
Dear Dean *******,
Thank you for your email today.
I would advise on deleting the OTA update you received, to restore the firmware version back to the previous version. This then should allow you to access contacts from the previous settings.

They have got to be kidding, right?
Definitive answer from HTC on this....
Dear Dean XXXXXXX,
I confirm that it does not integrate with google map application after the recent over the air update. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

So there you have it. They did it deliberately!
i have the same problem. first of all google maps is faster loading and for me more convinient, because i am used to it. and the ****ty htc locations does not even reconize one of my adresses. always says adress xxxxxxx not found. they wanna push there own stuff i can understand it, but at least they should make sure it works
Any update for this problem ?

Nexus 7 search result not clickable!

Does anyone notice this or it is just me?
When your search from the search bar or voice search, the web results pop up, but actually clicking at the titles or the links won't direct you to the browser until you hit a little bit lower, at the brief description area. MORE SERIOUSLY, is that, when you filter the results by choosing more->shopping, or video, or whatever, the results are not clickable for me. No new tabs will show up.
Could anyone please try the following, type or speak "wallet", go to shopping results, tap on any one of the image item. Anything happens?
Thank you so much

worked here first time. I am currently viewing a quite attractive Oakely Square O Perf Wallet after it linking through Chrome. But, it's $50 and I am in the UK!
PS I spoke 'wallet' using Google Now
Meaning that mine is screwed. But does it have anything to do with the OTA update in US, causing some unknown search issue?
Any more people to try this out? Especially who is in US
Thank you!
Worked for me.

I seemed to find something. So have you turned on the Now service? not the voice search feature, but the privacy-controversial service.
Seems like if never enrolled in Now, your search is working fine.

That is also what happens to me, either opening two tabs or no tab at all. Drives me crazy. I hope people join me to report this to Google. It is definitely not me alone.
I'm having a far worse issue. I cannot open search results in any way on my Nexus 7. I've seen posts like this were you open 2 tabs in Chrome. I can't open anything!! Even clicking the description of the link doesn't work.
Similar issue here...
I have noticed pretty much the same issue on my Nexus 7. Sometimes clicking just below the title of the search result works. Sometimes clicking on the actual title works. Sometimes NOTHING is clickable. Very frustrating - especially when trying to show someone how cool Google Now is!!! My Nexus 7 is totally stock too..
Hopefully they will have a fix for this soon!

Well, this problem has gone from sporadic to consistent for me. Whenever I use the Google Now Widget to search for something and results are returned, I can't click on the results at all. I called Google Support and we tried clearing the cache and data the Google Search and Chrome apps and then did a Factory Data Reset. Nothing has been able to fix this for me. It totally seems like a software bug since generally everything else seems to function alright. Given this, I'm really surprised the Factory Data Reset didn't fix it for me.
Since I bought the Nexus 7 at Staples and I'm outside of the 14 day return policy (by just 1 darn day!!!), they said that they can't even exchange it for me. So now, I have to send it into Asus to have it "repaired".
Is anyone else having this issue?
For the record, I'm never buying anything electronic or of any significant value from Staples again!

I recently stumbled across this bug as well and chalked it up to being software related too. But whereas some people seem to have sporadic results, I can NEVER click my Google Now search results. I'm quite baffled that a factory reset didn't work and was actually about to do it myself, but if there's no guarantee that it'll solve the problem then it wouldn't be worth it. Honestly, I wouldn't send it to Asus to get it repaired because the issue might simply pop up again. I'm wondering if only a small minority is experiencing this problem though or if people just don't realize it yet (as I haven't really used much of Google Now). In any case, I hope this issue gets resolved soon.
EDIT: This must definitely be a software bug because I might have found a way to possibly resolve the issue. I activated Google Now, hit the menu button on the bottom right, went to "settings" then "privacy and accounts." Here, there should be an option for "Search on google.com." Mine was initially unchecked, but I simply checked the option again. Doing this, Google Now seems to now allow me to touch/click results. I should add that when I went back and unchecked the option, the issue did not return. So, regardless of what the option is set at for you guys, I would simply check or uncheck and try it seeing if that resolves the issue. I hope this works for others!
Sorry to bump this thread up again, but did this happen to work for anyone else?

I'm experiencing the same problems (can't click on standard web search results in Google Now, but can in Chrome). The above fix doesn't work for me (I don't have that showing up in my privacy settings on my Google Account, but then again I don't even have "search plus your world" available in my apps account yet).
Here's an interesting twist though: If I perform the following search in Google Now:
xda nexus 7 google now can't click on results​
I can't click the results. However the first result will include "More results from forum.xda-developers.com". If I click that link, it's not only clickable, but the results on the next page are all clickable.
Again, I'm on a Google Apps account, fwiw.
---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------
One other interesting point: navigating through the Google Now results using an external keyboard (just cursoring up and down), I can select and enter any result without problems.
I think I may have figured out how to get search results clickable again...
1) Go into Settings->Privacy and accounts
2) Uncheck "Show recent searches"
3) Back out to the home screen
4) Try your search again and you should be able to click on the search results
This seems to do the trick for me. Give it a try and let us know if it works for you guys.

Fix Does not work for me
Still can't click on results.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with having a second browser (Dophin) installed.
Maybe tablet does not know which to use?
When clicking on OTHER links tablet asks whether to complete the action with Chrome or Dolphin. Obviously when pressing on a Google now result that question does not pop up and the results are not clickable.
Maybe I will uninstall Dolphin and see if that helps
Thank you for the fix

It works but I was confused by your directions. From settings, go to Accounts Google, then Search, which then takes you to Privacy & Accounts.
This was very frustrating problem. I called Google Nexus Tech Support and talk about a useless rep. I can't believe others aren't complaining about the same problem.

[Q] Is anyone else having problems with google search

When I go into Google now on my nex7 everything works fine except for the Google search web results. It brings up cards and has voice response but brings up no web results. I wiped everything did a reset and flashed a different ROM and still having the same problem. Everything else on my tablet works fine. I'm beggining to think it may be a Google server problem in my area. Is anyone else having this problem?

Oooh - you too huh?!
If you are referencing the Google Search bar @ the top of each screen - my web searches are just hanging with no results also.
It does bring back personalized cards like you said & if I select the [image] tab @ the bottom it will bring back images from the web...but everything else is hanging....
Same here. When I type in to the search bar, it hangs. I can search using the browser. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling - did not fix. I am not rooted.

Likely they are on a different server. This is likely them working on the updates to google search that is to come with 4.2. It takes two steps back to get one large step foreword ...

Really? I thought it's been a good roll-out for 4.1.2 JB.
Just this hickup & the usual lack of detailed usage training for end-users (which we actually embrace now as XDA-ers!)
Surprise, surprise. I'm having that issue also. Search on my N7 is giving me factual voice responses to a search like '50 milliliters in ounces', but if I say '2010 World Series' expecting to get webpage responses, I get the spinning circle. My Bionic returns webpages for these searches. I'm sure they'll get it sorted out, but kind of annoying at the moment.
Same with me. Changing from google.de to google.com did not work.
Disconnecting Wlan and connecting again and I can search once ...
I thought it was my fault
ok, well at least I know I'm not the only one. Hope they get it worked out soon.

Google services went down for 15 WHOLE minutes yesterday. That's a hiccup we don't usually see.
That's not too bad, but this issue still exists and it has been a lot longer than 15 minutes.
Same problem on phone and tablet. About 30 seconds later my search results show up.

s finder not working

Hi guys.
I can't get any results when searching with S Finder. I have checked in settings and all options are ticked. To consider this includes chrome being ticked, the minimum i should be getting back is Internet results. I have even made sure to create an S Note that should return results.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
anyone have any ideas on this?
thanks
I was hoping that someone would have at least a thought on thus.
I have tried wiping the data in the s finder app but still no good.
I booted into safe mode and it worked on about 5-6 searches. After i rebooted into normal mode it worked for about 3-4 searches so I thought it was sorted. The next time I came back into the app and searched again, no good it just carried on searching and not returning any results.

Exactly same problem... I even did a factory reset and flashed again the rom (official) to correct it. It did, but when I let the apps download again from the play store, same problem reappeared. I don't get it, I even blocked apps like greenify from redownloading because I thought it could have something to do, no result. Further I didn't touch the rom, didn't inactivate any mother-apps. I would appreciate any ideas. It seems that some app is interfering with s finder...
Problem is solved but do not ask me why.
Tried a lot of s finder settings.
I remember that I changed categories quite a lot. Give it a try. Also change filter settings etc.

It's the PayPal app. At least that's what did it for me.
Spent an hour on the phone with Samsung tech support and they eventually told me to reset my phone to factory settings. I was very angry because I just bought this phone yesterday and spent the whole day setting it up to how I like it, and now I had to reset it.
After reset, it worked just fine. So I went through the app store and downloaded all the apps I use.... And then it started glitching exactly like the Op said. So I uninstalled app after app until it worked... And PayPal was the last app to go. So to test it, I reinstalled PayPal and kept it checked in S Finder's search settings, and voila, it glitched. So I unchecked it, restarted my phone, and now S Finder works just fine.
Let me know if this helped anyone. I've spent the last 4 hours trying to fix this issue, and it would be nice to know if it helped anyone. If anyone knows of any other app that freezes S Finder, post it here. Samsung needs to fix this
Btw, sorry for bumping an old thread. No one had a solution, so I'm just trying to help people out.

Thank you so much for posting this!!!
Myself I had factory reset the device a couple of times already because of other malfunctions and battery drain, therefore when I found this problem I couldn't go through the same process again. I knew it must have been an app because when I initially turned on my device, before restoring the apps, the search function was working ok. I also contacted the samsung helpdesk who didnt have a clue, they suggested a factory reset and one by one app installation (thanks, I could think so far by myself!).
Now, after uninstalling the Paypal app, search function works perfect, no problems what so ever. Thank you very very much again!!!

Myself I had factory reset the device a couple of times already because of other malfunctions and battery drain, therefore when I found this problem I couldn't go through the same process again. I knew it must have been an app because when I initially turned on my device, before restoring the apps, the search function was working ok. I also contacted the samsung helpdesk who didnt have a clue, they suggested a factory reset and one by one app installation (thanks, I could think so far by myself!).
Now, after uninstalling the Paypal app, search function works perfect, no problems what so ever. Thank you very very much again!!!

It's the PayPal app. At least that's what did it for me.
Spent an hour on the phone with Samsung tech support and they eventually told me to reset my phone to factory settings. I was very angry because I just bought this phone yesterday and spent the whole day setting it up to how I like it, and now I had to reset it.
After reset, it worked just fine. So I went through the app store and downloaded all the apps I use.... And then it started glitching exactly like the Op said. So I uninstalled app after app until it worked... And PayPal was the last app to go. So to test it, I reinstalled PayPal and kept it checked in S Finder's search settings, and voila, it glitched. So I unchecked it, restarted my phone, and now S Finder works just fine.
Let me know if this helped anyone. I've spent the last 4 hours trying to fix this issue, and it would be nice to know if it helped anyone. If anyone knows of any other app that freezes S Finder, post it here. Samsung needs to fix this
Btw, sorry for bumping an old thread. No one had a solution, so I'm just trying to help people out.

just tested IR with smart tv remote app. worked like a charm. i have not found anything nonfunctional at this time =) looks and runs terrific!
forgot to mention that the build is 4.4.1 as well
two issues?
This ROM is so smooth, no crashes or anything. That being said the Google now voice activation ( OK Google ) and the internet local results by garb shown up on the stock kitkat dialer are not working. The dialer search is only giving results from the device itself
Any word on this?
Thanks!

did you flash the correct gapps for the rom? reflash the kit kat gapps you find from goo.im and it works fine. the rom is very smooth and everything is working out of the gate.
Ahh I now see that I am a retard lol ty

there's a bug with the CPU performance in that if you try and set the max and min values and check "set on boot" they somehow get reset to the default settings or get maxed out. this only happens when "set on boot" is activated.
Just an FYI the CM Nightlies have a CPU bug. Mine was charging for an hour and it gained 8% battery and was so hot I didn't even feel safe holding it. (This is coming from someone who has done alot of crazy and stupid stuff with my phones) The charger was hot as hell as well. Not sure if its a charging issue or CPU clock/voltage issue (it runs a lot hotter then GPE under load) but be warned.
Switched it back to GPE and its fine.. Also keep an eye out for ART, don't have it charging while making the switch (android is upgrading screen). The phone will get molten and I am not joking.

the CPU wasn't an issue in CM10.2 so it's something in CM11...will probably end up going to OmniROM instead.
?
I havent been having any issues with overheating. in the latest build however there are constantly force closes of the sound search process. not sure what thats about.
Anyone else having issues with the internet search results not coming up in the dialer search bar?
also why is this thread in the general category and not development?
ok google voice activation

yes, i am replying to my own post... apparently if you go to settings -> accounts -> Google -> Search and enable google now, then the "ok Google" hot word that activates search in the persistent search bar on the home screens does not work.
As soon as i disabled google now, the ok google hotword activates voice commands again, as it should.
Is this normal?
How is the camera quality?

Same as it was in CM10.2 pretty much.
Can any of you access the Google+ auto awesome video?
I used to have it on a GPE Rom but looks like it is no longer there on CM11...

Fixed!
I was getting these error messages and all the latest nightlies weren't installing for me either, with no information given with the error message,
So after many hours of messing around, I figured out the problem. I use clockwork to flash my mods. And I downloaded "ROM Manager" from Play Store. When starting the program, I noticed a message saying there was a new version of clockwork available and asked if I wanted to download it. I figured, what the hell, couldn't hurt! So I downloaded, installed it. Then updating to the latest nightly (cm-11-20140525-NIGHTLY-m7.zip) worked! No more problem!
I hope this helps some people install their newest nightlies!!!!#@ Enjoy,
