For the past two days I have been unable to use the google voice search. That is in google now or the little mic button on the top right of the homescreen search widget.
I've tried uninstalling all of the updates to the search app all the way back to the stock, preloaded app. doesnt work no matter what I do.
does anyone have any suggestions before I wipe my phone?
Thanks!

My brother-in-law received his incredible yesterday (I am a Nexus One owner) and I got him set up with Google Voice when starting up the application we get to a screen that says something to the effect of "an application needs to access your google voice credentials for this account". I hit the accept radio button and hit "Next" and it always force closes. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but to no avail. This was the one downloaded from the Market as the phone did not come with it pre-installed. Has anyone else had this issue? Could anyone help me figure out what the issue is?
Also, I was unable to find google earth in the Market on his phone. I was able to find it just fine from mine. What is the deal with that?

I was able to load it no problems. I also had to download it from the market. Try to factory default your device and start over.

That seems to have cleared it up. Thanks for the help.
Coming from a blackberry, i have universal search that lets me type and find content on blackberry messenger, emails, facebook, contacts and even some third party apps.
While i know that android itself has some of these, there are third party apps that extend this feature. Do you use one of these apps? Which one?
I wish there was a way to use universal search (built into Android,) to search Google Maps, like I could on WebOS. I find that if I am hitting the search button, over half the time I am looking for a phone number from the yellowpages, (maps.)
I very much miss being able to start typing a contacts name at the home screen and having it pop up. Currently I have the far right launcher (ADW) set to Contact Search, but it's still to presses to get started. If anyone finds something that works more seamlessly, please let us know.
Well the built-in search feature of Android does search contacts... Depending on what ROM you're running, how your contacts are sync'd can effect if they appear in results. I can tell you that on CM7 nightly 21, with TouchDown and Facebook sync, that my contacts all appear when I just hit the search key and start typing. I just wish that one of the options was to start a search in maps.
Hit the search capacitive button at the bottom and start typing. If they don't show up, go into settings and make sure iit searches for contacts too.

Hello,
I am using a new Galaxy S4 Google Edition and when searching for the facebook app, the actual app does not appear. Facebook messenger comes up, as well as other facebook apps but the official facebook app does not come up. If I put in a search for facebook, not press the search button, and select the facebook app that appears in the drop down, I get the dreaded "can not retrieve information from server" message. I have tried all of the other tips (clearing cache, uninstalling updates, resetting the phone, etc.) without any success. All other apps that I use are fine.
Any ideas?
Jim

Hi everyone. I'm having this weird problem and I hope to get some help with it. I use the stock Samsung Browser with Google as my default search engine. Everytime I search for something in the address bar, it shows results with India in the suggestions. For example, I will search "Huawei Watch" and the search results will recommend "Huawei Watch India". It will also recommend the Indian version of webpages like google.co.in. I was recently in India on vacation but some setting must have stuck. I tried the Yahoo and Bing search engine options and won't get the same results. This only appears for Google search engine. I have cleared history, cached, and the reset the app but it is still happening. I have cleared my Google account search history but it still happens. I use Chrome browser and it does not happen. Does anyone know why this is occuring? I really appreciate the help.
I'm having an issue that I can't seem to solve, and was hoping you guys might have a solution: under voice settings in the google app, the ok google detection option is grayed out, and inaccessible. Also, apparently the ok google detection itself is disabled, and only works from the google now launcher. (the launcher i'm using right now is the leaked nexus one, flashed in recovery.) (I'm systemless rooted with stock nougat 90G build.) The voice trigger doesn't even work in the google app unless i have the google now launcher set as my default launcher.
Other relevant info:
-i've checked the app permissions for stuff like google play services, the google app, etc. they all have microphone access.
-if i go into my security settings (system), and try to set up smart lock with voice detection, the ok google detection of the app opens. from there, i was able to get a workaround and re-enable the "ok google" hotword from any screen, but interestingly enough, the trusted voice option is grayed out and inaccessible, while the option to have it enabled from the google app was still checked.
-this sort of solves my issue, but it's really only treating the symptoms of the problem, not the source/cause of the problem, as i'd really like to find out what's going on with the option being unavailable in the google app's settings.
-a reboot didn't fix the issue
Another question: when looking at the app info for the google app, and then under storage, it doesn't have a regular clear cache and storage like other apps do, but instead a manage storage option that deletes search history. if i clear this, does it only wipe my local data, or does it wipe my search history from my google account? I'd like to try wiping the app data to see if that fixes the issue, but i don't want anything cleared from my google account.
