Google Now - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it an app? I don't know what it is, but I hear about it and see screenshots of those cards, but it's not on my Nexus 4 as best I can tell. What do?

Swipe up from the lockscreen. Swipe up from the home button. Tap the Google search bar on the home screen. Open the Google app.
All will get you there.

In a nutshell, it's a replacement for the old search bar app.

Thanks guys, I'm silly.

Yes. Yes you are.

Google Now results in a lot of wakelock from Google Maps, as it constantly monitors your location. Wakelock plus GPS usage. A battery drain for sure.

Check if you're signed on to latitude

You have to activate it

Can anyone confirm whether email app has pinch to zoom or not?

I know that gmail now supports it but I'm wondering if the regular email app does as well. Any n4 users able to check for me?
Works on nexus 7 with update.. Man 4.2 is amazing!! Seems faster and smoother to which is a surprise! I did not expect these improvements. The new keyboard is great to. Way better than the swype app.
Oh wait.. My fault. Miss understood your question. I will check and let you know.

As above you need to tick the auto fit setting in general Gmail settings. Pinch to zoom the works.

AFAIK the normal Email app has had pinch to zoom since ICS, working fine on 4.2 on my HTC Nexus 5

[Q][SOLVED]Tasker Play Samsung Music-Shuffle Mode?

Hi I want to be able to plug in my headphones and have Tasker open the stock Samsung Music app, and then play shuffle mode across all of my songs.
I have it where it opens on headphone plugged in, but not sure how to specify to play music on shuffle mode?
I finally figured it out if anyone was wondering...Its awesome now

New to tasker here. Just downloaded it. Would like to replicate what you have done, but your screenshot doesn't provide me enough details. Care to share the rest or at least point me in the right direction or place where I can learn tasker and download a few tasker plug-ins to play with.
My Dpad in tasker is not available to me. Got a lot to learn I guess.

BTW I'd liked to be able to plug in my headphones and tasker select the Google music play app, select a playlist, add shuffle, and set volume level to 15. Is that doable?
May not be the right place to ask this question. If so then request mods to just delete...
Thanks.

Sure, I attached a screen shot of the profile as a whole. The task named launch music is in my first post and the dpad selection is under "input" section in tasker.
Give it a go and let us know if you get stuck, tasker is tough at first but really good to know

Thanks. I figured it out from using their online guide although looks like it was from an earlier veraion. Used multi app versus a single app.
Next one I think I will try is for tasker to run my onstar remote app to start my truck every morning except weekends during the cold months say Dec 1st through Mar 15. I think that would be pretty cool. But i would have to figure out how to easily disable it for those times when i park it in the garage. Also have to figure out how to get the pin into the remote app to start the truck. Not sure if it would be doable with tasker. Anybody in the mood to write an app? Ha!

Multiple tasks, one profile
Seems like I have to root my phone for using the dpad...

Sky+ App Issue

Anyone in the uk got the sky+ App installed on the 6p and connected successfully with their box to view the planner etc.
My trusty nexus 4 and iPhone work but not the 6p.
Just sits on connecting for a very long time.

I just get no box found all the time

I think it's a marshmallow issue as the sky WiFi app won't let me add device either,says version if software not available or something ,sky go working though
I think you are right. I briefly had a nexus 5x and had the same issue with sky+ App.
I emailed sky App support but they weren't very helpful.

No surprise there ,I'm amazed sky go is working
Not working for me either. Now I have to get my arse out of bed, go downstairs and get the remote!
There's a thread on the sky website about it: http://helpforum.sky.com/t5/Apps-websites/Sky-App-Android-Marshmallow/td-p/2385839/page/2

1GB users missing features? Fix!

1GB models of the 2015 Moto G come with a flag in build.prop that looks like this:
Code:
ro.config.low_ram=true
This flag causes a few missing features, such as:
"Ok Google" from any screen.
Chrome's recent tabs showing as text instead of cards when the recents integration is disabled.
Simply setting this flag to false fixes the issue.
That's strange, my Moto G has OK Google from any screen already without doing this. It does consume a load of RAM unfortunately.

I also have OK Google from any screen without the fix.

Interesting. I'm personally not rooted, and I anyways don't use OK Google, and I don't care about the recent tabs thing. Anyone noticed anything else missing?
