Have you tried, Setting - Language and Input - Voice Search - Ok Google Detection.
Also in Nova, OK Google - Enable hotword.

Google Maps

Hey everyone,
I have a problem running google maps, it installs fine but everytime i want to run it an error pops up saying that it isn't signed or that a component might be missing. The strange thing is that it was working before when i got the device and installed it and after a hard reset it doesn't anymore. It kinds of bugs me because i use it quite often!
if anyone is able to help me please don't hesitate!
Thanks!

with your mobile, go to http://mobile.htc.com/uk/01_applications.html and download it from there. then it will work again. before doing this, uninstall the installed version.
Thanks, it worked!
Got my google Maps back up and running.
Cheers
Math

I just did the update and now the Maps search Touchflo 2D menu option does nothing. Maps itself is fine. Any ideas how to get the search option to launch Maps again?
Tried soft reset already?

Try installing Google maps to the internal storage, should work then.
However, does anyone know if there's a way to make location tab work even with google maps installed on the card?

Doh! Thanks for that, it works from main memory. It would be nice to have the option to run from card though.

Hi there. The unit I got in Malaysia doesn't come with google maps. The icon on the touchflo is missing. Where would I start if I want this application? Thanks.

True. Sophisticated Google maps capabilities do not work in some locations, Malaysia included. You may need to use M2DC to enable the "Location" tab in TF. See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392

[Q]Google Now Apk

Does anyone have the latest Google Now Apk? I uninstalled it because I thought I wasn't going to use it, and....well, I kind of want it back. I did make a android backup when I rooted, but that was a loooong time ago. I still have Google, Google search, voice, etc. I just don't have Now, and it's not on the play store. Could anyone help me out?
I'm running 4.2.1 at the moment.

Google Now is in the play store for me, it's listed as Google Search
That's odd...
I searched Google Search in the market, clicked "uninstall" , which uninstalled the updates, then reinstalled the updates, and now it's showing up. Odd...
Ah well, it works now. Thanks a lot, ronnie498. Not sure what happened, but it's working now.

I had to change the language from English(Israel) to English(United States), I guess it is affecting location settings.
but it works in Israel perfectly now!

[Q] 4.4 stock: no Google Now?

Hi guys!
I just flashed the 4.4 factory image with full wipe, didn't root or anything, the phone is completely stock. Everything seems fine, except for Google Now: swiping up (including lock screen) starts Google Search, which doesn't listen to "Ok Google" and doesn't display what Google Now used to display, in fact it's just a blank white page with a search bar at the top.
How do I get Google Now back?
I will appreciate your suggestions!

I think OK Google is available just in the US
Also, You have to slide left for Google Now.
have you tried turning google now on? longpress any empty space on a homescreen. press settings, turn on google now. if you dont have that option, install google search from the play store.
Log into your Google account, then go in "Google Settings" -> Search, and enable Google Now in there.
Both of you are referring to the Google Experience Launcher which KitKat for Nexus 4 do not come with, it needed to be sideloaded. (Not Google Search, the Launcher apk)
After changing the language and locale to English (US) I got the "Ok Google" listening back. Looks like this feature is not available if the device is set to English (UK), which is a bit dumb.
The Google Now screen with cartoonish mountains, Google Now cards, etc are still missing. I have a blank white Google Search page with the "Search, or say "Ok Google" search bar.
I tried long-pressing on an empty space on my homescreen, there are no Settings and/or way to enable Google Now there. Any other suggestions?
I had a similar issue, even GEL and GoogleNow were installed, but "Say 'Ok Google" didn't show up.
Cleared the data of Google Play Service, had to assign my widgets again, but "Say Ok Google" showed up

Then install this launcher. Tap and hold on, go into Settings and see if it has an option to turn on Google Now. http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...once-you-get-your-kitkat-update-apk-download/
Also there are some bugs for Google Now right now: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...-5-users-problem-may-spread-to-other-devices/

Thanks, I tried the Google Experience launcher. Unfortunately, Google Now is still missing and the settings still don't have anything related to Google Now
Update: I also tried adding a Google Now widget to the homescreen, the widget appeared saying "Google Now is not available".

I am in Cyprus, and Google Now worked just fine before.
The issue may be related to Google Location Reporting suddenly being unavailable. I can't change its settings, it just says "not available in Cyprus". I wonder why, as it used to work.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this seems to require root, and my device is not rooted.
Well, let me try a factory reset, may be something screwed up during the initial setup
Update: tried everything suggested, except deleting Google Search which requires root, and Google Now is still missing I give up.
Update 2: apparently, I'm not the only one with this issue, Google product forums are full of people with missing Google Now. So far nobody knows why it suddenly disappeared after upgrade to 4.4 and/or how to get it back.

Now unable to use "Ok Google"

For a while now the hotword has not worked on my device. When I looked in settings just earlier, they're now completely greyed out!
Anyone else experiencing the same issue?!
Tried changing the language to English (US) instead of (UK). No difference.
PS: I'm using a substratum theme, that's why my Google app is black.

Have you disabled some speech app, if you disable the motor syntethiser of google it won't work well. I had this issue and reenabling/reinstalling the app solved the problem.

Thank you for your suggestion. However, I found that I had to uninstall all updates to the Google app, then it started working flawlessly.
It's very weird that you have to decide whether you want the latest Google app, or its main feature to work.
A number of people also reported this issue. I'll update again once it gets fixed.
Edit: the app updated again automatically, and I realised I could set up the voice model again and it's now working on the latest version!

unable to get Google voice working with Google assistant

Hi,
I've got a 6T using H2o, is there a way to have Google voice install and use with Google assistant?
The " OK Google" function doesn't work, no matter that language I set it, still showing not available, can someone please point me a right way to get it work?
Thanks!

Isn't the H2O missing the "google stuff" so I would imagine the you either have to download alot of stuff, or flash one of the open gapps....

I think is something to do with the OS H2o, that's why I'm here to ask if anyone using H2o OS with work Google assistant.
