also if your not getting images with your results, go to settings and click the use google.com instead of native and bam you have imaged answer cards

Can confirm it works on Evil Alex, but not sure if I get the audio notifications yet.
I was also under the assumption, a pop-up card would appear when near a point of interest.

I think that it takes a few days for it to gather data. Then, when it has enough, and sees a pattern it will start to present you with the cards.
I haven't had it long enough to take, so I don't show cards yet either. But from what I've read that's the deal.

for talkback you need to click the little settings icon in bottom right corner of google now...a whole bunch of settings come up, go to places and set as you like. also check use google.com instead of native to get images with the results cards,.
the google now will recognize after a few days that you leave to go to a certain place each day, then ask if you wanna set it as your place of work, it then starts to give you updates as to when you should leave to arrive on time and such.

That is because of the drawable settings , I noticed this also and I'm trying to fix it , I'm close to solution.
EDIT:
Here you go , this one deletes voicesearch.apk also and installs the Google_Now.apk (Velvet) modded so it only shows a Search icon and mic icon in left corner and not the 2 google icons.
Flash with cwm , it should work on G100W / A500 and A501
This is how it looks now.

[Q] N4 settings menu won't open

Hi,
My Nexus 4 is running completely stock 4.2.2, it's not even unlocked let alone rooted (first phone I've felt happy enough without root) and was running fine until yesterday when it ran out of storage space and gave me a warning. So i uninstalled a couple of games, hoping to free up a couple of gigs.
Now though, i can't get to the settings menu or any associated screen. I can toggle the quick settings from the pull down menu, but if try to enter the main settings menu it briefly flashes up and then closes. It's the same if i try to access settings through the launcher, and if i try to get to any settings menu via other means (ie. long press an icon in Nova and select 'app info' or 'uninstall') the associated menu again just flashes up and then vanishes within a split second as if I've pressed back straight away.
Nothing else seems out of the ordinary - apps update, i can get to the play store, apps run fine, just the settings menu.
Any ideas? I can't find anything similar searching here or elsewhere. I've obviously rebooted the phone but without access to the settings i have no idea what else i can change. I'd factory reset but I've not backed up a couple of apps and usb debugging is off so i can't use Carbon (for some reason it's always had problems keeping the initial enabling and needs plugging in regularly),and i can't use Titanium without root so i wanted to see if anyone had any bright ideas first

Perhaps there's a way to just reset the settings menu? I've no idea what it's process is, but some action similar to "clear app data" should reset it :/ Just brainstorming here.

if nothing helps do a factory reset. your apps will come back automatically through the play store when you log in.you'll loose your highscores but most apps are cloud driven anyway,

Sorry for the OT but is that a genuine quote in your sig?!
Anyway @OP I think factory resetting is probably your only viable solution here, it's a very odd issue and there's not much you can do to solve it without a settings menu.

You need to clear the data for settings. Install titanium backup and see if you can. You'll need to root it first though. Crap..I forgot forgot you said you arnt rooted.

Cheers for the suggestions, was hoping there would be a fix but I guess a factory reset in the morning it is.
Frustrating as this sort of thing really shouldn't be happening out of the blue from a stock phone - it's a fairly huge bug!
Ironic that I resisted rooting to ensure I kept the reliable and simple experience of the nexus, only for it to be what stopped me fixing it when it broke :-\
Won't make that mistake again!

This probably won't work but try opening your quick toggles then long pressing on wifi or bluetooth, that's supposed to take you to those individual settings. Then if you hit the icon in the top left you may be able to get back to the main settings.

Nope, sadly does the same thing - the settings menu briefly flashes open before closing.

Hey OP, did you figure it out yet? I just noticed that trebuchet launcher allows you to go into settings via a shortcut in the app launcher. Probably won't work, but hey. Try another launcher?

Yes cheers a factory reset wasn't needed in the end - I worked out the problem.
I've been using my sim with my n4 as well as my new HTC one and hot swapping between the two for a week or so. I also have avast installed on the n4 which has an option 'disable settings when no sim inserted' which I'd forgotten about.
I only thought of it because when I initially took the sim out I got an email saying 'warning unauthorised sim inserted, id: {null}' or similar.
It didn't work with my sim installed either but I logged into avast, turned that setting off and everything was back to normal. Turned the setting back on now (once the sim was in) as it's obviously going to be an absolute pain for thieves too!
I guess it's a problem with hot swapping the sim while avast was running, the switch didn't get triggered even when I reinserted it? Either way now it just means I turn the n4 off before removing the sim now!
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Haha, at least you now experienced first hand how secure your settings menu is. :laugh:

Exactly what I was thinking! Nice it gave no clue why it was happening and if I didn't know the password for avast it would have made life very difficult as it also disabled usb debugging, so anyone who wanted to wipe the phone would have needed some serious android knowledge.

●●● [NEW][HOW TO] ●●● Google's Android Device Manager / Security ●●●
From Google...
"Have you ever lost your phone in between the couch cushions or forgot it in a restaurant? Or maybe searching for your phone before you rush out the door is part of your morning routine? Let the new Android Device Manager help you out! It's one of a few simple features you can use to keep your device—and the data you store inside—safe and secure.
Locate and ring your misplaced device
If you ended up dropping your phone between those couch cushions, Android Device Manager lets you quickly ring your phone at maximum volume so you can find it, even if it's been silenced. And in the event that your phone or tablet is out of earshot (say, at that restaurant you left it at last night), you can locate it on a map in real time.

Protecting your personal information and data
While losing your phone can be stressful, Android Device Manager can help you keep your data from ending up in the wrong hands. If your phone can’t be recovered, or has been stolen, you can quickly and securely erase all of the data on your device.
Availability and getting started
This service is now available on devices running Android 2.2 or above; to use it, you also will need to be signed into your Google Account. There will also be an Android app to allow you to easily find and manage your devices. Stay tuned!"
How to start using
*note: This is not a standalone app. Google is pushing the update in batches so you may not have access to it yet.
1. Navigate to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and check the box Android Device Manager and hit activate
2. Check to see if access to Android Device Manager is in your Google Settings application.
3. Go here on your computer's web browser and test it.
If you don't see access to it in your Google Settings app, its likely that the feature is not yet available to you.

Cool. I hope this doesn't use any battery.

Using Cerberus app already. Has more functionality than this.

Note for sense devices, Just go to settings and then security and so forth, more just brings you to network information. (I'm assuming there is a difference on a Google edition phone)

I have all activated, but the web doesn't connect with my phone . It can not get the location or ring the phone. (Galaxy Nexus 4.3 all stock)

Thank you. Works well.
I activated it under Settings > Security > Device Administrators, but I didn't see ADM in Google Settings.
Was still able to find it at https://www.google.com/android/devicemanager
HTC One using GE 4.3 RUU

I tried it and it works. The phone ring doesn't work if you disable wifi and/or mobile data. Does anyone know if it will wipe an external sd card?

Quick access to ADM is now available on the Play Store website, under the settings button:

I keep my wifi and mobile network location setting off usually to save battery. Do I need to have this on to use ADM? Can I turn it on remotely?

Yeah you can turn it on remotely. Just setup a Tasker profile to turn on whats necessary by sending a specific text to your phone. That's what i've did. :good:

I was able to download a ADM and I activated it, but when I go to the website to locate it, it says location unavailable. The ring won't work either, haven't tried the erase button

From what I understand it is still rolling out so some devices aren't able to be located just yet.

I set mine up but every time I try to get its location from the website it tells me location is unavailable. I also tried ringing it and it didn't work. I triple checked all my settings and everything seemed ok

Same here. Have a Galaxy S3 (LiquidSmooth Rom incase that makes a difference). Have ADM checked as my device admin, have it in my Google Settings, and it still can't be located or rung from the site. Says "Location Unavailable. Last used August 3, 2013". That date doesn't make much sense to me....

I tried it and had the same results as others, not found sending ring didn't work etc after allowing it. So I restarted the phone and now it all works perfectly.
Thanks for the tip

Same issue :-\

Had the same issue..
I've checked the android device manager in settings..

Ja, actually after numerous search, I posted here! It's quite irritating. I wrote to Samsung and their reply is as usual.... Factory reset or bring it to service centre.

I also had this notification on my Note 3 three or four times, until it didnt come again. I dont know what causes it but have you tried to long press on it and see what the app-info says? On my GS 4 I, I had the Prevention Information as well, but removing the knox apks fixed it. But beware this requires root.
Reactivation lock is the function you can enable through the settings or when setting up the phone for the first time, which locks your phone with you samsung account and when somebody has wiped it, he has to enter your email and password to be able to use it.

I don't intend to root it for now but will check out that reactivation lock.

I‘ve been getting this message a helluva lot. Started after i noticed an update notification for an app which didnt appear in the notification window afterwards. I have autoupdate turned off in the Play store.
Usually pops up after Llama changes (or checks) settings according to my setup. For some reason removing the Amazon appstore app helped to cut down on the frequency. I have autoupdate security policy on, could that be the cause of these troubles?
I seem to be having issues with Light Manager now but not sure if its related.

Like I mentioned in the OP, the message is pretty much appears whenever I connect/disconnect from the WiFi. I honestly not sure how to relate that to this message. Other than that I don't have the app you mention.

Just wanted to confirm that disabling the reactivation doesn't help either. As soon as connect to the wireless, I get the same annoying message .

I had the same problem as well..a simple fix I read online is..when the notification pops up- long press it -clear cache -force stop...seems to work for now..

Don't think this worked. I have the same menu turned it on but the actually seeing it work I dont see it

What is this supposed to do? I looked it up and on Samsungs description page it's totally different. I haven't seen any difference with this.

Something else must be missing.

I had it enabled for days with no effect
Would really like to see this work

so doesnt Work

This did not work for me. Then today I was poking around in the settings and got it to work. I went into Applications in settings and then in the top right enabled system apps. I scrolled down to smart caller ID and clicked it. I went to permissions and enabled contacts.
Anyway an hour later I got a call from a family member from their home phone. I do not have this persons name saved in my phone. It said their first, last, and middle initial right on the screen. I was like wow it's working. So naturally I went into package disable pro and turned it off LOL. I tested it again with the same caller and this time it didn't show their caller ID, only their phone number. I tried to re enable the feature and have not been able to get it back since. If someone can try these steps and see how it works, maybe we can figure it out.
Kept messing with settings and it started working again. Rebooted and it went away.

My phone doesn't even have smart caller ID in the app manager area. I did follow the OP and enabled it so we'll see. I'm not rich hopeful but we'll see

Mine doesn't have that in applications. Not even after enabling system apps. Must be third party installed app you have there.

Okay use the app from the OP and search for "smart" and smart caller ID will show up. Click it and then create. Then on the home screen click the newly created shortcut and it should enable permissions for smart caller ID. Then try.

I've tried it multiple ways and I don't see a "smart caller" anything either. Total crap Verizon! Any way someone can extract it?
