Hi All,
Yesterday I flashed my Nexus 4 with android 4.3 (was very excited about it, i dont know why). One thing I have noticed since that update is that if I click the mic and say "Navigate Home" it doesnt work. Before in android 4.2.2 it used to show me the route to home and navigate. I tried saying "Navigate to London" and it still doesnt work. Actually it doesnt work with any cities. I think it doesnt recognises the word "Navigate" now. All it does it that it shows me some google searches which are not even related to maps and navigation. I have selected my language to be English UK. In 4.2.2 it was the same and it worked. Is anyone facing this issue? If not then does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance
anyone?
Works fine for me

doesnt work with that either. im sorry i forgot to mention. I am using google apps (as i have my own domain). does this make a difference? in 4.2.2 it used to ask me to give the home address at least. in 4.3 i get nothing
works fine. no issues at all.
i did a stock factory image flash over stock 4.2.2
I have this same issue with a 4.2.2 mod on the SGS3. Navigate to anything always searches it instead of navigating it.
Mine works fine. Sometimes "set alarm for..." Just searches but most of the time Google commands work. Mostly.

This has been broken for me ever since they updated maps. I have reverted to the old version of maps, but it still doesn't work. I have tried reverting to old versions of Google Now, but it still doesn't work.
I use "Navigate to [...]" and "Map of [...]" all the time, but they have been broken for well over a month. "Set Alarm [...]" still works fine. I do not use any other voice commands.
I hope someone can figure it out... I really, really, really miss this feature!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
What the !?!?!?!?! So seriously this has been broken everytime I try it for over a month. It was broken 30min ago before I came here and started ranting about it in multiple threads. I've tried to "Navigate to [BusinessName]" and it just would never work. I just tried the above example "Navigate to Texas" and it worked perfectly! Then I tried BusinessName and Home as well and they both worked. Yay! How did it just fix itself due to me posting complaints? Is Google watching me -lol/jk Maybe "Navigate to Texas" is the magic work that unlocks it so it starts working for everything? WTF
So very very strange. My ROM is 4.2. I am running the latest Google Now which was recently updated through market. I am running a custom BlackMaps.apk based on the last version before they changed the UI. I am soooo happy to have this back. Hopefully it doesn't disappear on me again.
Mine started working
Think I may have found a fix (accidentally). I was having the same issue but then I opened up the main google now app and then pressed on the voice icon beside the search bar and gave it a navigate to command which worked instantly. It then seems to work with the voice search widget once you have used the navigate command through the app itself. I hope this helps..
I wanted to confirm it also worked for me
I was also having the same problem that people were as to when I said navigate home running android 4.2.2 and also 4.3
I also tried it with a few other phones like my HTC one – M7 and also a Moto X and what I found was the same as what you suggested going to Google now and set up Google now and click the microphone and say navigate home and then it will work just fine. One thing I did notice is that you have to set up Google maps in my places to put your home address to have it work. thanks for this great tip
working for me. Running PA 4.3

What worked for me...
Hey, not sure if my solution will help anyone, but figured I'd throw it up here.
I was having the issue on the Nexus 5. Couldn't get navigate home or navigate to work to function by speaking. Found that if you scroll all the way to the bottom of Google Now, and select the little icon on the bottom that looks a bit like a magic wand, there are options in there to set up Home and Work if you select "Places". Mine were already set up and not working, so I just set them up again. That seemed to fix it! Hope that helps someone.
my "navigate to work" command works fine on all my devices, but the "navigate home" will not work. I keeps popping up google search results. I tried it on my new Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and my old Epic 4G Touch (running stock 4.1). All will not navigate home...
possible fix:
I loaded Google Maps on my desktop, clicked the options icon, and selected My Places.
then on the left under CREATE MAP where it says HOME, I clicked the down arrow and EDIT.
I changed my home address to something nearby, and clicked SAVE.
I reopened GMaps on my phone and it was still showing the home icon on my old address so I went into settings,
and signed out of my account and then signed back in. The home icon was now in the new address. So I closed GMaps,
and said "ok google, navigate home" and sure enough it's working again.
I tried it on my Nexus 7/old Epic 4G Touch and "navigate home" is working again on all devices.
This has to be some sort of issue on Google's end, perhaps the servers aren't syncing correctly or something.
I'm gonna wait a few mins and then edit my address back to my actual home address and see what happens..

Thanx. Worked for me too.
I figured out how to make this work consistently now. In Google Search's Settings, go to "Accounts & privacy", make sure to enable "Personal results".
Necro, I know, but I fixed this on my Nexus 5. I had to enable Web History. At some point in time Google changed things to check Web History (recent searches) for locations and places even though it's fully listed in Google Now and Google Maps. After enabling history and setting addresses again / searching addresses in maps google now started to work instantly by saying navigate home / work.
Fix for me
I had multiple phones with this problem multiple accounts.
1st I cleared out the home location stored in maps
2nd tried to put my address in and it said it couldn't find it
3rd searched for my address in maps and discovered that Google has decided my street name is two words instead of one.
4th edited my home location in maps settings to be the wrong spelling
All good now..
I wonder if Google updated maps and changed the spellings and such.
Good luck..

Question about voice speed dial:
Is it possible to replace voice talk with this app. I mean when I press my call button on the Bluetooth headset note activates voice talk. Also double click of the home button activates voice talk.
Since my language is Serbian I have little to no use of voice talk. On the other hands ability to voice tag calls or applications is much better.

Are you sure this is no virus/spyware/adware?
For some reason all Youtube downloaders seem to be viruses, even on the PC.
I don't know why the virusmakers all seem to do youtube downloaders but they do. The website that you linked says it isn't a virus. To me when a site claims their software isn't a virus, it usually IS. The site looks kind of dodgy too.
Is there a way to detect a virus in android apps without installing a bloated antivirus on the phone? Does something exist where you can check android files for viruses on the PC?
Been using this for ages, since Galaxy S time. No issues mate. Have it on my Galaxy S, 8.9 and Note.

Once someone reports a new issue, if needed/requested, i will start a poll to see how many people are experiencing the issue to help out detecting a faulty device from a real general issue.

Annoyances:
When adding any app as a accessibility service (e.g. Lightflow), the Touchwiz Launcher will start telling you where you are right now, e.g. "Homescreen 3 of 5", "Opening folder".
Waking up the phone isn't always instant.
No USB storage mode, only MTP or PTP. You can't use the phone while transferring files.
Boot animations use Samsung's proprietary QMG format --> no custom boot animations for now
While you're in a call, sometimes you can't use your mobile data connection. Wifi works though.
Attaching headset/earphones shows various audio applications that can be launched in the notification area. These apps cannot be customized.
The accuweather widget has a maximum refresh time of one hour. Setting it to anything less than that is not possible. Also, it doesn't always update the current location.
- Couldnt drop more than two apps (one after the other) in to an app draw folders

The "Talking Touchwiz" issue afflicts me too now that i have installed Lightflow...
BUT... it's not that easy to prove - as it seems to depend on what you are doing at the time, such as Double tapping the home key to start S-Voice etc - it might kick in and 'talk to you', sometimes it doesn't. It did it many times for me at first, but its not done it this past week.
To the OP...
Just to add to your comments...
"Remove Lightflow" as an Accesibility service would remove it's use altogehter. Removing "Talkback" as an Accessibility Service did nothing to stop the problem for me. Even though you have this marked as a "FIXED" item.
They don't equate to my expectations of what a Fix is alas *lol*
And in similar terms, the wi-fi issues "fix"... Firstly, as we do not know what affect this will have on battery drain (I mean I'm sure Power Saver Mode is there for very good reason), then again, I certainly don't see this as a FIX either... A workaround perhaps, but if so, one with all it's own issues at that.
Notwithstanding, that today, when I ran a Speedtest and again found my connection to be dire, I looked in the Service Menu, and I too, as posted elsewhere, had found that Power Saver Mode was back ON again, and it had not remembered my settings.
So if I have to do this regularly, then its far easier for me just to turn wi-fi off, then back on, which seems to fix my issues every time anyway, but without any Battery Drain, or fiddling with secret (and dangerous) Service Menu settings instead.
Please don't think me having a go at yourself...
It's just that you seem too quick to take something as being a "Fix", just to perhaps seem like you have all the answers...
Please believe us - our ire is not with you, it is with Samsung, to whom we hope a fix will soon be coming for these, and the many other little minor issues in the current firmware, like forgetting all settings, brightness, etc.
So don't worry (yet). Just list any issues, and we'll berate Samsung for a proper fix, not yourself in any way.

Yeah i understand, should be more of a workaround than a fix indeed, need to redefine maybe the words used, all the info in this thread was taken from threads around the general forum but since i dont have my SGS3 im kinda going blind here, that why i need everyones help to make this thread decent
Thanks for your support
I'm grateful that I don't have the Wifi issue but I don't take comfort in the fact that every new handset that's been announced to fanfare has had issues that have made me think along the lines of, "seriously, who tested this?"
That said, in my day job, people call in to see me with one or another issue and their device has a common problem that we'll talk about in XDA, but the customer don't see it as a problem, just as something that they deal with day in, day out. Or it goes into the box of, "doesn't work, don't really care." I love being a perfectionist.

This, good sir, made me laugh!
In regards to the TalkBack issue, I tried the following scenarios:
No accessibility services: Silence
Adding Tasker: Phone tells me where I am in certain situations
Removing Tasker: Silence
Adding Lighflow: Phone tells me where I am in certain situations
Removing Lightflow: Silence
Adding Tasker and Lightflow: Phone tells me where I am in certain situations
Removing Tasker: Phone tells me where I am in certain situations
Readding Tasker and removing Lightflow: Phone tells me where I am in certain situations
Removing both: Silence
Adding TalkBack: Phone tells me where I am at all times
Removing TalkBack: Silence
Could this be a common issue of Lightflow and Tasker? Can anyone test some other app that needs to be added as an accessibility service?
The dev of Missed It! (which needs to be added as an accessibility service) has suggested making sure that both Talkback and Install Web Scripts are set to off in the Accessibility settings. I'm *still* waiting for my blue S3 so can't confirm whether this works or not with other apps but someone might want to try

TalkBack is set to off, web scripts are not allowed. The problem is still there.
I thought I'd start this thread to consolidate all the info on the features of the Note 10.1 for those new to Android or tablets, those who are on the fence about buying this, or those who just haven't figured out all the cool features yet
Here's some off the top of my head:
Pinch the keyboard to get this:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can then move the floating and split keyboards by pushing and holding with 2 fingers.
Press and hold the settings key on the keyboard and select the T icon to switch to handwriting recognition mode.
In the keyboard settings, select "continuous input" for Swype-like functionality.
Feel free to add anything else you might find useful!

This is what I've discovered so far: smart stay, motion gestures, keyboard layouts (displayed by OP), handwriting input, nav keys extra functions, S Pen button, mini apps, screenshot key alternate uses and a demonstration of power, four apps running at the same time all of them shown on the screen at once!
Seems the more I learn about this tablet the more I like it. I had removed all of the Sammyware, but now I've out a few things back. Great thread.

For a keyboard to pop up it needs to have an input field. it will be useless if you pop it up without anything listening to the keyboard.

Well I have this situation where I need to press F12 to change to another page, but no input field in the page by itself. I tried clicking on the address bar to open the keyboard, but since the focus is not at the right place, it's not working. So I have a situation where it is NOT useless.
I don't know what troed wants to accomplish though.

I'm curious as well. I hate lock screens, they don't seem to have any use to me, especially on a tablet. This thing can't turn on in my pocket, I don't wear clown pants(assuming clown pants have giant clown pockets). I just installed the "No Lock" app which does the trick.

Thanks. More info, please. Already looked there. Maybe my contacts are dirty.
Anyone know if there is any way to go immediately to Google bookmarks in the stock browser instead of local?

"None" should be the very last option in the screen lock page.
Nice. Thanks. Yup, seems I need wipers for my contacts.
Here we go in German settings (see attachment)
Why I need the keyboard to be opened even if there is no "call it to screen" input field:
I use "logmein" now for a couple of years for only one reason: to check my patients data base in my clinic.
Once I'm logged in and the remote screen appears I can click the icons to start the program but once I want to type a name ton the remote PC he keyboard does not appear.
Of course there would be other solutions, but I tried Splashtop Remote and other similar apps which do not work since my provider protects my clinic from outside intrusion by a firewall and even after my provider opened the ports necessary to run Splashtop Remote it does not work. After testing a lot of apps in the last two years with my SGSII/III and Note LOGMEIN is the only procedure that works. Of course I could buy the Android app Logmein ignition but look at the rating of this app, the prize and comments that it works very poor if at all. And why should I buy an app when my magnificent Note10.1 can do the same with it's browser ?IF I COULD FORCE THE KEYBOARD TO APPEAR ON THE SCREEN TO TYPE ON MY REMOTE PC !!!!!!!!
Hey guys...I haven't seen a thread started for this yet and since I've been toying around with my M8 all day I figured I'd share 2 bugs I seem to have found and if you guys have found any feel free to contribute. Any edits I make will be for resolutions and updates to the bugs found. So far what I've found:
- I seem to have difficulty deleting files off of the external SD card. I have my pictures saving by default to it and I noticed if I delete one it disappears then pops back up. This happens through ES File Explorer.
--Issue lies with Kit Kat version not the phone itself
- When I manually set my brightness and then open up the camera it auto increases the brightness (which I don't think is a bug) the bug however, when you exit the camera app the brightness remains the same and doesn't revert back to your manual setting.
--If you exit the camera and then shut the screen, when you turn the screen on again you have your manually set brightness back.
- the buttons like to reappear over the top in immersive mode, they appear on the side if rotation is disabled
- the task switcher has options at the top, task manager and close all that get covered by the notification bar at the top
- blinkfeed looks odd with the 4 menu buttons still appearing
- Possible static on other end when using speakerphone
- Cannot take pictures of front and back of a check with the Bank of America app check deposit feature
- Snapchat filters will cause the screen to flicker.
- When authorising Sense's access to Facebook the Facebook app will take you to your newsfeed, meaning you cant authroise until you get to the homescreen. It's somewhat confusing, if you already have a HTC phone you won't see this issue.
Let me know if you find anything else on the Verizon model please as this is the one I will be getting in a few weeks. If others comment please specify which carrier model to maybe help. Thanks

I can write to the ext sd card as when I take pictures it saves to it just fine. The problem is trying to copy/cut/paste to/from it and delete off of it.

It *is* possible to modify the contents of the internal and removable sdcard when connected to the PC. As discussed in several threads elsewhere, KitKat 4.4.2 has modified the manner in which apps are permitted to write to the sdcard. I'm wracking my brains because of a number of issues I'e encountered (and I have a 128g card!)
Also in the bug list:
Can't get Amazon Appstore to download apps (download always fails).
- the buttons like to reappear over the top in immersive mode, they appear on the side if rotation is disabled
- the task switcher has options at the top, task manager and close all that get covered by the notification bar at the top
- blinkfeed looks odd with the 4 menu buttons still appearing

A restart of the phone fixes this.
I had the same issue. I believe its due to the spotify video which starts on the firs time launch of the app.
Guys, I have updated the OP as of the latest bugs found by Electronic Punk. When posting bugs we find please specify which version you have international, Verizon, etc. When we find a resolution to the bug I will post underneath the bug in the OP in bold red.
1.54.401.5 although now running that same version on Android Revolution HD 2.2
want to clarify the last one as it looks the same on sense 5.5 but the blinkfeed did not continue underneath the buttons (ie phone, camera - that row)
In Sense6 it does and looks bad.
In addition, on ~Blinkfeed if you swipe left
the options menu covers about 2/3rd of the screen and stops about half way over the task switcher, looks really odd.
Dlna is not working properly for me . I keep trying to connect to my LG smart tv but it fails every time . Miracast works fine but not great for watching videos . My HTC one max and note 3 work well so it's not the tv .

Anyone else having problems with the loudspeaker while on the phone to someone? I've tried using the loud speaker while on the phone to 2 different people and both have said the moment I put them on loud speaker they hear loads of static in the background
OP updated...Noticed the Bank of America app taking pictures of a check for check deposit does not work.

I'm also having and issues with the setting to press and hold home for menu. Nothing happens when I press and hold it. It just takes me back to the home screen.
This setting is under Display, buttons and gestures.

Since the Peloton tablet runs android N, and multi-window support is native to android N, I figured it was just a matter of enabling the "recent" button which is hidden by default. Sure enough.....

Within a couple steps, some sideloaded apks, and some quick configuration, you can watch Netflix (or any app) and have your workout stats clearly in view (you can do a class or scenic ride, but the sound will play for both).
Basically, all we are doing is installing apks via adb including an app that adds a button to the navigation bar. Once that's done, we're adding a button to the navigation bar that brings up 'recent apps'. Then it's just a matter of scrolling through your open apps, long-pressing one, and dragging it to the side so that its 'pinned' then doing the same thing to the other side of the screen.
Following these steps should in no way change the core functionality of your Peloton and everything you do can be undone by performing a factory reset.
I'll try to step this through as best I can without any screenshots. This assumes you have working ADB installed and know how to use it.
1) Enable 'USB Debugging
-Use "Method 2" in the link below to enable USB debugging (ignore the wording, you're not 'rooting' anything)
-Follow their Netflix install tutorial for a trial run
https://www.reddit.com/r/pelotoncycle/wiki/index/howto/root
2) To access your installed apps
"Each time you want to watch netflix or run any app you've loaded, do the following:
On the peloton screen make sure you are logged in.
Tap the three dots in the bottom right hand side and then tap about. An info box should show up on the screen.
In rapid succession, tap just inside the bottom right corner of the info box like 10 times or so. A black screen should come up showing all installed APKs."
3) Once you've logged into Netflix and verified all is working, find the apk for "Custom Navigation Bar". The Google Play link is below, but you'll need to download the apk from another site
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xyz.paphonb.systemuituner
4) Install the apk in the same manner you installed Netflix (or any other apk)
5) This app does require specific permissions. While still connected to ADB, use the following command:
Code:
adb shell pm grant xyz.paphonb.systemuituner android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS
6) Now access the app "Custom Navigation Bar" using the process from step 2 above (you'll have to step through a few welcome screens)
-Scroll down to "Extra Left Button"
-Under "Type" choose "Keycode"
-Choose an icon (so you can see the button)
-Under "Keycode" choose "App Switch"
7) On the far left of your navigation bar, you should see a new button. Pressing it will bring up your recent apps list
8) Scroll through your open apps and long press the title bar of the one you want
9) You should see 2 bars on either side of the screen, drag your app to the side you want
10) Scroll through your list again until you find the "Peloton" app and select it
11) Drag the slider in the middle of the screen to make one app bigger or smaller
And that's it!
Disclaimer - I've been an XDA leech for a long time, so when I do figure something out, I like to share it with the community. But this is just what worked for me. I've done no testing and do not guarantee it will work for everyone nor can I be held responsible if something adverse happens to your device as a result.
Hi wolfebaine,
thanks a lot for this great guide !
Every worked fine - except one thing:
when I longpressed Netflix title bar a message pops up "Screen split not supported in this app".
I was able to get around this by activating activities to be resizable in developer settings as i.e. described here: https://www.howtogeek.com/273409/how-to-enable-split-screen-for-any-app-in-android-nougat/
Now I have both apps Netflix and Peloton side-by-side on the screen, but only one apps seems to be able to provide video: as soon as I start Netflix, e.g. the scenic ride stops (same with normal spinning courses, but this is a crazy use case with Netflix at the same time ).
And when I try to slide the split so Peleton gets smaller a running "Just ride" stops (it's paused and can be restarted, but is some where in the background).
So it's only works with 50/50% screen split.
Is that also true for your installation ?
Thanks for sharing the info!
I got mine working. There are a few new tricks to get everything working, I'll post more info later.
Just wondering if you've figured out how to get the workouts to not reset when you click away from the workout? If I try to interact with the second screen the workout always gets paused/put in the background.
I've got a few ideas, but thought I'd post here to possibly figure it out faster.

Hi there,
Not sure if the original poster will still see this. I’ve installed all the apps necessary. Under setting >> App, I can see the app I’ve installed. However when heading to the “about” page, after clicking few times, it only shows the Web Browser Test. Any clue?
I noticed that a little while ago following an update. Since I already had everything installed it didn't really affect me.
But try this. Under app setting go into Nova launcher and scroll down to home app.
Select Nova launcher add your home app and hit the P button on your navigation bar. That should get your to the point that you can set everything up
To get back to that screen from peloton, you just have to go to settings, device settings, and hit the P

Hi Wolfbanie,
Thanks for your quick reply! I’ve seen a post talking about this back in Jan 2021. Tried to follow that without any luck. I couldn’t find the app setting or nova launcher anymore. Maybe because I just recently got the bike that peloton has blocked all these ways?
Hello,
New member and I'm lost.
I followed the tasks of getting into dev mode.
I turned on USB debugging.
I installed Adb.
I downloaded APK packages.
Then when I went to install the packages they say failed to install.
HELP ?
Thank you for looking.
PS I love the split screen idea..... !

Apparently even if you install them successful, it doesn’t appear in the app anymore. I’m also waiting for a solution too.

do you have active Peloton subscription? If not you will not be able to install apk packages other than signed by Peloton. You can just take membership for 1 month and install apk packages and cancel it after that.
btw, I was able to get split screen but was unable get peloton app in split screen as it now requires full screen. Any other apps side by side are kinda of no use.

I found a workaround for this. You have to go to:
Settings > Apps
Then click the app Nova, Custom Nav Bar, etc...
At the bottom, you click "Advanced", then "Additional App Settings". It will launch the app.
This worked for both custom nav bar and nova. Alternately, the first time you click the P logo in the middle it will ask which launcher you want to open (Peloton, Nova).
Be aware that Netflix last supported split screen in V7.64.0. Referencing an article, I downloaded the release below and split screen didn't work. I downloaded an even earlier Netflix release, from the link above that OP included, split screen STILL didn't work. I'm not sure how this app can have split screen disabled even though it was natively supported before. Maybe it has something to do with the Peloton android version.

Shoot I was hoping to have the just ride on one side and the peloton app (google play, not the built in “app”) on another. Guess that won’t work? Full access membership it is then *cries =(

"Watch videos" as is in peloton videos?
If not possible I might as well just hang an ipad over the screen and use the peloton app that way with the just ride metrics below it on the main screen.
Is that your vid on YouTube? Great Vid. I wasn’t able to get past switching the left button to “app switch” as I see no option for “app switch” on my menus. =(
And to confirm, yes you need the All access membership to be able to side load and use adb for those that are wondering.
you need an active membership to do this . this should be STEP 1
Does this work for anyone still? I have a Bike+ running Android 10, everything works fine but I can't get past the Custom Navigation Bar compatibility test, it never changes the bar to the -> to continue.
I ran the adb permissions command, is there a way to verify if the permissions were applied? It didn't throw an error.

As far as I can tell the recent update broke it.
I have tried ADB commands and still can't get the recents screen to even open.
Same for me, looks like recent update broke it as well. It removed the MENU command for me. I don’t want to attempt anything until I see someone get it to work.

The update removed the the option for the nova launcher or just the split screen feature ?
Honestly the split feature is ok .. but not very useful since you can’t play videos on both sides and it only split vertically not horizontally … it would be good to see cadence and resistance in the bottom and the class or Netflix on top .. but vertically make it not as good

I wonder if anyone tried to root the tablet using kingroot or any rooting method .
Pretty sure any rooting would get you flagged hard.
I messed around some more and was able to get split screen to happen randomly but it would result in one side being unresponsive so it was useless.
