Hi I just got my phone about a week ago and i haven't rooted it. I'm still on 4.2.2 and I just tried out the S health app today. I watched it on youtube on how to use it and such.
So under the food tracker, I try to add some food items and it won't look it up.
For example, I type in eggs and hit the enter/search button and nothing happens. Keyboard is still there and nothing searches.
I can see on the videos that's how you search for food items but I'm just stuck on that step
A little help guys?

So a few days ago I noticed ads popping up in my notification bar that lead me to various websites if clicked. I haven't installed any apps in awhile and I have no idea where they came from or how to get rid of them. They even survived the flash I did from Mik G 1.76 to 2.0. Does anyone else have this problem or has had this problem and gotten rid of it? They look like this ;
Sounds like one of your programs got linked somehow to ad spaming. Had this happen a long time ago. I also had access to the program site from my computer. There was a setting online that allowed me to recieve " mail " or offers " from there partners. Unchecked that and it all went away. But I would also suggest something like LOOKOUT. It's free on the Market.
Yikes!!.. Use Airpush detector from the Market it'll tell you which app is doing it. so you can remove that nasty stuff!
Going to have to check that out .
Thanks for the replies! Got both apps and easily fixed the problem, you each have my gratitude

Glad tohere you got it sorted out .

I had this issue for a long time. It's a new feature that developers have a option of adding to their apps. For example if you update some new versions of apps those updates could have the new add-on in them. I thought I had fixed the issue at first also and then randomly they started appearing again. The only app so far I've found that can track down these new add-ons is addons detector from the market. Go ahead and install that just to make sure. After it searches through all of your apps filter it to "push notifications" and un-install any apps listed in there. I only found 3 apps out of almost 200 that I have installed that were causing the issue. But it is very annoying when you have things like, "you won a free ipad" ect poping up in your notification bar.
I second that. Nothing more annoying than freaking Pop ups, and unwanted adds.
I've encountered a really strange problem on my watch (Samsung Gear Live) lately. Not a single texting app will let me use the "reply" button with voice.
Example: Friend texts me, text pops up on my watch. I swipe it and click "Reply" and try to reply using my voice. The text will write out on my watch screen, but the red Google mic icon just sits there for about 10 seconds as if its still thinking it's receiving input, and then it takes me to the "disconnected/watch is offline" screen.
But the watch is obviously not disconnected: I can exit that app and tap the screen and say "Okay Google" and then say "Text friend 'hi how's it going'" and the text will send without a problem.
I've encountered this error when using Coffee SMS, WearResponses, and Google Messenger. I've reset the watch, and cleared Android Wear data, and the problem still persists. This makes no sense. Any ideas/suggestions?
I have the same problem on my LG G Watch R.
I received the Watch today, the reply function worked once or twice, but now it does the same as yours
My Gear Live is still under warranty so I've sent it in to Samsung. We'll see if they are able to fix it...

Update: So, Samsung just replaced the entire watch for me. I'm setting it up now to see if the problem is fixed. Has anyone with the same problem tried factory resetting their *phone*?
UPDATE 2: Well, crap. It still doesn't work. I'm going to try pairing the watch with a different phone sometime in the near future to see if it's my phone. It's obviously not the watch.
Out of curiosity, what version of the Google Search app do you have installed?

Okay, I got it working. Obviously, there's probably some degree of magical Googleness that happened, too, but here's what I did:
Background: I had Google 5 installed from the Android M preview, and I had also previously sideloaded a newer version of Google Play Services (still compatible with my phone, of course)
1. Booted watch into recovery; factory reset several times.
2. Meanwhile, uninstalled updates to Google Play Services, and then download update from the Play Store
3. In the Play Store, uninstall updates for Google App (Google Search), then update from the Play Store
4. Turn on watch, pair with phone, and then pray over it
5. Test out an app (I use Coffee SMS), text yourself, and try replying to it. It might tell you that "Google Play Services must be installed" - I rebooted my phone and then manually connected the watch via the Android Wear app, and then tested it and it worked.
YMMV.
Thanks for keeping us up to date
I too, was finally able to get it corrected, but mine was a bit easier. The only real difference between what you first described and my situation - was that I am using the LG Urbaine Watch with the new LG G4. LIke you (and someone else) it worked a few times and I was thinking that would be my most used feature. Later - it stopped working and my research began. I thought it might have something to do w/ my loading up the LG Call companion app - but after taking that off - it still didn't work. Finally, a good friend of mine that is an Android lover - suggested I switch from the Verizon Message plus application - to the generic one provided by LG. As soon as we made the switch - the Text message response option appeared again. In fact, in addition the reply arrow - I also could see a full list of the conversation with that particular party. Very happy in making that little change.
I discovered that the Brief app was not working on my T-Mobile Galaxy S7 Edge. The little loading circle icon would just go round-n-round and nothing would happen. I could not access Brief in the App Manager but I did find it in the Google Play Store. But you can't update or uninstall it. I left an unfavorable review and I heard back today from Samsung tech support. Apparently there is a bug in that app and they are working on it. Just a heads up in case anyone is having the same issue as I am.
I turned mine off and I don't like to use it. However I tried it to help you out and see if it's a problem with the app. I experience the same thing you did. So you are not alone.
Started working for me all I did was flip back and forth a couple of times.

Yup had the same problem, it seems an update in play store has taken care of it. Now its working perfectly.

Brief finally started working today...I didn't update it or anything but I did turn the phone off/on. At least Flipboard was pretty quick about fixing the bug. The funny thing is the full Flipboard app lets you choose way more news categories to subscribe to then Brief. Maybe I'll just turn off Brief and just use the full app.
This happened to me when I got the phone on Tuesday. It fixed itself just like yours did. And also like you, I found that it isn't nearly as good as the full app, so I turned it off.
Here is the problem, and I have been looking on various sites and forums but thought I would take a peek on XDA and surprised that there isn't much chatter about it in here so wanted to start this thread.
For a few months now I cannot access "Google Now" .
I am running a Rooted Sprint Note 3 and still using Josh's KitKat Killer. Its a GREAT ROM and had been working fine until about Decemberish. Whenever I click on the Google Now Cards, or press the Google App Icon, I get a brief opening of the page with Weather Map and Events etc. but as soon as it loads it crashes out.
I can access a pure voice command search through my Widget to set an alarm, get the weather etc...
I cant help but Note (get it? NOTE!!! Ha!!) but it would seem to have happened at the same time Google Assistant broke onto the scene en masse back in December or so. Coincidence??? hmmmmmmmmmm
I have another phone that also had this problem, (Galaxy S4 Running Lollipop) and quite honestly couldn't get Google to work until I flashed a Nougat ROM and launched the new Google Assistant. I wonder if they are tired of supporting these older phones and are going to force people to up their game by making them upgrade to Nougat phones.
I have seen lots and lots and lots of 'help' sites talk about how if you 'Clear Cache/Uninstall/Re-install/Update' etc that it will work. That is A LIE! And don't talk to me about using the Google Now Launcher (which I am not that thrilled with) because that does not even seem to make a difference either. I have been, and currently using Nova Launcher. The whole process of Install/Uninstall/Install only works once then as soon as it gets a chance to load the data you are back to being screwed. It wont even stay open long enough to access the page to delete/alter/change settings. Very very frustrating.
I cant believe there inst rioting in the streets from millions of disgruntled Google users!!!!
So now I am just not using it. I'd like to but until then it is a hearty HELLO to S-Voice I guess.

The phone arrived yesterday, I started exploring the interface and I noticed a few issues. Most importantly, I couldn't see notifications on the lock screen like the one from a music app that lets you pause, skip a track and so on. Only after unlocking the phone I'd see the notifications. I tried finding a solution in the settings but after changing some stuff (probably) nothing happened. Then, while doing nothing at all, just locked the phone using power button, opened it and boom, there was a notification from my music app (Shuttle). I repeated this to make sure im not dreaming and after changing a track in the app, the notification no longer appeared. I used google to help me find an answer & all I understood so far is that I have to go in the advanced settings, find the so called "Battery Manager" and disable some app profiles. It was said that by default the app's notifications on the lockscreen are blocked for power saving and by changing these profiles and also tweak some stuff in "Notification & status bar" tab would fix it. I said okay lets do it, but I went in advanced settings and there's no Battery Manager.. and it didnt show up in search either. Is my system outdated? (Side note: I'm a noob when it comes to phones, so I can't possibly pull the correct conclusions here, just saying) I'll include some info from "About phone" tab at the end of this article if that helps. Moving on to the next issue: Can't play video.
My "Can't play video" issue occured when I tried to play a video from within the default gallery app, a video that I recorded a few moments prior. Google didn't help so I downloaded a gallery app after several attempts on more freshly recorded videos, and after installing, the videos would play normally in the new gallery app. I headed back to the default one and on an attempt to play a video, it actually worked now. That's weird. Out of curiousity of what would happen, I uninstalled the gallery app from earlier, leaving me with the phone's default one, tried to play a video and got the same message as in the beginning: "Cannot play video". Out of curiousty once again, I re-installed a gallery app (same one as before) but didn't open it. I headed straight to the default one, tried to play a video and the result was different this time. It said "Error" or something of the sort. Hopefully that info will let you pros figure out the problem.
My "about phone" tab info:
Model Nr: EDI-AL10
EMUI ver. :5.0.1
Android 7.0
Thanks for reading & I'm looking forward to your answers
Edit: Fixed one of the 3 issues I had. Still need some help though, anything, any idea will help.
