I live in Ireland and have an unbranded 928f. I upgraded to android 6.0.1 via OTA this morning. Everything seems fine (except Samsung removed the option of having weather on the lockscreen)
One issue I am having is I don't have google now on tap. When I long press the home button I get google now but not now on tap. I updated my play services via the playstore when I upgraded to Android 6.0. I checked the setting on google now and now on tap is not mentioned anywhere.
Can anyone help?
If you use touch wiz I guess you cannot have not now and now on tap, as the command is the same.
Install Google Launcher.

Now on tap is working fine with touchwiz here. First time I held down home it asked if I wanted to enable it.

When I go to now settings under voice there is no button to enable now on tap. The version of google now I am on (this is under the about section) is 5.9.33.19.arm64
It's not under voice, but two or three items below

I have 5.10 beta version

IT must work on 5.9 as well.
Try this: go to play store, go to Google app, remove updates, re-apply updates

I just upgraded my HD2 from Gingerbread to Jellybean 4.2.2. So far everything works great except for my open/close menu.
Here is a youtube link of what I am dealing with:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd0ucQyyMMM&feature=c4-overview&list=UUL-MgWl4c3Iv-H1iy3YTbLA
I've installed
2.6.32_tytung_jellybean_r2
US T-mobile HD2
I've rebooted the phone many times and even tried reinstalling the ROM and I still have it.
If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know.
Thanks.
so this is about after clicking on menu button, it launches recent apps? or about the graphics glitches?
anyway, are you using the latest version of the rom?

This is about the graphics glitches. I have it so that when I hold down my menu button it takes me to the open/close menu. I have the latest version. I just checked for an update this morning and there was none.

Hey! Removing the live wallpaper did the trick. I don't know where to find the developer options (in settings?) but if I check the force gpu drawing like you suggested do you think that I will be able to use live wallpaper again?

Thanks! I now have developer options! I kept trying different things and finally found that disabling HW overlays fixed it! I hope that whatever that means doesn't screw up something else.
Hey, you seem to know a lot. I was also wondering if you know how to keep auto update on for the android play store but disable it for certain apps. My wife really does not like the new update to the google navigation/maops on her stock GS3 and prefers the old. I uninstalled the update to set it back but I didn't want to turn off her auto update because I know that she will never update her apps manually. Any suggestions?
@jimvsmij sorry, i have no idea about that

Open the Play Store > Go into the app you want to disable auto-update for > hit the menu button > You should find "Auto-update", uncheck it.
Other apps will update normally while this one won't.

I saw that option earlier but I thought that unchecking the auto-update would apply to all the apps.

is there any way to have like in the iphone double light tap at the home button to have the screen go down ?? i know i can triple press home button to have that but i prefer to light tap and not fiscally press... is it possible???
Yes, it is called Fingerprint Quick Action, you may search around here.
I use an app called easyhome for Samsung works great and it customizable

Why double tap or any number of taps??
If you tap on your screens, you may have a chance of mistakenly opening an app!
This following solution is more practical:
"Swipe home button" in Play store. An easy and practical way to get to home screen, works well.

How's battery usage? Is it significant?
Also, I'm using the version you posted but it's not working when the screen is off. I'm sure I deactivated all app-killing process. I don't think it's this.

I tried installing the latest play services and I can see google assistant already in the settings from the google app. But it still doesn't work. When i say ok google, it's just the same old google voice search. I'm also using nova launcher btw.

Don't set a home button shortcut in Nova - leave it default. Clear all the data from Google app and the cache from play services, and then reboot. When it boots back up long press the home button and you should have either the assistant or on tap.

I've never used a Chinese variant but if you're rooted, couldn't you disable the Chinese voice app with titanium backup?

Try the Get Assistant app in the play store, or I think there's a Magisk module to enable assistant. I'm out of ideas though lol

Oh wow, this is hell man. not even a patch or any workaround? I happen to really enjoy the increased usability that comes with the custom dpi. I tried googling for answers but no luck.
Do you access the assistant through a long press on home button. On Chinese axon 7 this is not possible as the language needs to be set as Chinese
This is what I get

There's a adb command to set dpi.. haven't tried this personally on this phone but this should work on any android.
adb shell wm density DPI && adb reboot

If you have twrp, just go to terminal and type "wm density DPI" then reboot.
Now we just change the DPI in the command to our default value. 640 I think, not sure though.
You can change the DPI in settings>display if you're on nougat..
How do you enable the home button to open up Google assistant? Just says it needs Chinese language
I have assistant in Google app. Changed voice button to search but it's still the old Google home voice!!! Why no option to set up the assistant
Do you manage to say "Ok Google" at any time working? Here in my phone this option is greyed and I cannot use it. Google Assistent does appears in Google, Search options in settings, and it seems to be turned on, also Google is selected in Assist & voice input and My Voice is disabled. I cannot whatelse to configure... It seems that My Voice blocks long press home functions for me.
Hello folks, I've got a strange visual issue with my Galaxy S8:
Huh, seems like I can't link any images. Sorry if I trasgress the board rules in my first post:
hCATSttp://i.imgur.com/xwKihwe.png
My Google search bar stopped being the Galaxy S8's one. The microphone icon is still in the right but the Google logo is now absent, the space is more bright (I think), the corners aren't rounded, and the text "Say Ok Google" is aligned in the right. Practically, it's in material design with the wrong alignment.
There aren't any other launcher installed, I'm still using TouchWiz/Samsung Experience.
How can I fix this problem?
P.S. The similar threads popup sure is useful (not for my case), every board should have something like this.
This has happened to me as well.
To fix you'll need to go into the Google App Settings --> Widgets --> Turn off "Show Updates"
Hope that helps.
