4.2 Play Store Bug?

I have disabled Auto-Add Shortcuts in the Play Store settings but it seems to still keep adding them to my home screen every time I download an app. Have only noticed this behaviour since I started using 4.2. Thanks for your help.

I've also disabled this option on the play store but it's working fine on my phone. No shortcuts are added when I download an app

I just tried and it didn't auto add for me. May want to recheck it, reboot, and uncheck it again.

I know what you mean, until I learned it could be disabled it drove me crazy

"hey google" not showing up...

So. I loaded up the Nexsys 5, Google home, PrebuiltGmsCore and Velvet apks on the Hyper 1.1 Rom. All works fine, except, I don't get the "say Google" on the google search bar.
I tried the moving off English US to UK and back.. but that didn't help.
Also, one iteration of me playing around, it was there for a brief time and then gone when I reloaded... so I know its possible, just don't know enough about the way its setup to know what to look for.
Any help would be great!
TIA

Do you have Google text to speech enable and downloaded?

Let me ask this question...
Others that have loaded these files and are using the Google launcher... Does the "say Google" come up on your search bar?
No matter what Rom. Just wanted to know if its working at all.
Thanks

OK FIXED!!!!!!!!!
This is what I did...
Under Language and Input, > Google voice typing, >settings >Offline speech recognition.
Go to the all tab and make sure English (US) is the only option and re-download it.
Thanks for all the suggestions...

I did that and my phone would not go into deep sleep. Checked my wake locks and Google search was keeping the phone up. Un installed the language pack update and my phone is deep sleeping again. Might just be me, but you might Check. It was killing my battery.

I updated to the newest search and now no matter what I do I can get OK Google to work. I've tried everything in the past post.

Google launcher and search?

I installed the GEL and search pulled from the nexus 5 that others use and say it works but the "ok Google" at anytime on the home screen doesn't work for me. I have it on English us and changed it then changed back cause I heard that helps but still no avail. Even when inside Google now I can't say ok Google, and I do have voice activation checked in settings. Any idea?

I haven't messed with it but are you running the newest Google search that was released on the playstore (not the one pulled from nexus 5) if you have the new version released to everyone and the launcher it should work. I know people had issues with the pulled one from nexus 5

"Ok google" is hit and miss right now. Works on some devices but not the G2. You would think with the Snapdragon 800 it would surely work but not with this update, wait till the next one boss.

That's odd, "Ok Google" always seems to work perfectly for me. Just had to re-download the English(US) language pack and it worked.

Yeah I am, I used the guide here, http://phandroid.com/2013/11/14/how-to-install-google-experience-launcher-with-ok-google-command/ before it refused to work for me at all, now it works every time it seems. Look for the first picture before the following paragraph:
"Once in Google Now, scroll all the way to the bottom and press the 3 dot menu to select Settings. From there, select “voice” > “offline speech recognition” (manage downloaded languages). Now, we’re going to work our way from the right tab, all the way to the left." Then follow what it says. If it still won't work, then you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2531512 As the OP person claims this worked on their G2 out of the box.

TMo official KK, OK GOOGLE hotword not working?

So I just jumped in to google search since updating to KK, spoke out OK GOOGLE, and nothing. Checked all my settings, made sure voice is english US, hotword detection is ON, but nothing....if you hit the microphone it wakes up and works, but it no longer has hotword detection any more for me.
Any one else?

It does not work like that, if you are on the goggle search app and say ok google it activates the voice command but if you grab the google launcher apk from here (http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-and-gpe-devices-apk-mirrored-for-all-others/ ) it might work (haven't tried it so don't know)

Lol, Im sorry, I guess I wasnt clear, I mean in the google search app, you would say OK GOOGLE and it would activate. It no longer does for me. And I have cleared data/cache for google search as well as downgrading the app, still wont activate hotword detection

Sorry, I updated my last post with that info, yes I downgraded the app, didnt help. I cleared cache/data, didnt help, updated again, nothing.

I don't know what's wrong maybe someone else running 4.4.2 on t-mo can offer some help

It does work under googles 'voice search' app, but not the google search app.

Yes I know the search app

Also running 4.4.2 on T-Mobile LG G2 (D801) and having the same issue. Worked before the 4.4.2 upgrade, now it doesn't. Still works if you click the mic icon and talk, but doesn't recognize "OK google" as a hotword anymore. Hopefully there will be a patch soon, as the update was only just released 5 days ago (not even OTA yet). If anyone knows how to fix, let me know as well. I have tried the same steps (uninstalling updates, clear cache, re-install updates). Checked settings and hotword is enabled. Thanks!

Make sure to enable Google Now and Hotword Detection.
Also make sure your system language is English (US).

Already checked that. Turned Google Now off and back on as well as hotword detection to see if it fixed it which it did not. I sent feedback to Google that is was not working via the send feedback button. Hopefully it is just a bug and will be patched soon.

Fix for hotword detection!
Go to system settings/General/Accessibility,
Turn off On-Screen Phone,
Google Hotword detection will work again.

And I thought on-screen phone was a really cool feature. Was looking forward to using it. Until they work together I guess I will just have to make sure I turn off on-screen phone when not in use. Thanks for the tip! You are a gem to the community.

Just updated to kitkat on my Tmobile LG G2 - when to settings, general, accessibility... I don't see any "on-screen phone" to turn on or off... Anyone that can assist, I'd appreciate it.

Google now screen. Settings. Voice. Offline speech. Download the English file.

Thanks, but that didn't make okay google work from home screen. (Works fine if I go into google now, but that kinda defeats the purpose).

Let me guess, you aren't using the nexus launcher, which is the only launcher that allows you to use 'OK Google' from main screen.

No, I'm not I was using the LG launcher that came with the rooted kitkat I just installed... I like the LG UI, so if it requires changing that, I'll pass. Thanks for the info.
However, I'm still confused as to why "on screen phone" doesn't show up in my settings/general/accessibility. That doesn't have anything to do with a launcher.

You know on screen phone doesn't come preinstalled for non-factory 4.4.2 t mobile G2s, right? You would have to install it yourself.

Probably sounds stupid here, but what do you mean non-factory 4.4.2?
I'm using the current OTA 4.4.2 that was just modified to allow rooting, other than that it's the same as anyone that updated OTA.
But again, if it's a required install to get, why would not having it stop the "okay google" from working on the google mic ribbon on the home page? If I click the mic it works fine.

OK Google command

So for some reason all of a sudden I can't get the "OK google" voice command to work. I'm running stock KitKat and I've tried it in both the LG ui and Nova Launcher. Has anyone else had this trouble? Any ideas on how to fix would be great, thanks in advance.

Did you enable it inside Google now settings, so that it allows you to use it from any screen?

I tried to set it up to work from any homescreen but it won't respond when I try to go through the voice recognition steps.

When I try to train it, it doesn't react when I say the OK google command 3x. Conversely, I tried it on a galaxy s4 I have and I could train it just fine and make the command work from any home screen.
