Does anyone notice this or it is just me?
When your search from the search bar or voice search, the web results pop up, but actually clicking at the titles or the links won't direct you to the browser until you hit a little bit lower, at the brief description area. MORE SERIOUSLY, is that, when you filter the results by choosing more->shopping, or video, or whatever, the results are not clickable for me. No new tabs will show up.
Could anyone please try the following, type or speak "wallet", go to shopping results, tap on any one of the image item. Anything happens?
Thank you so much

worked here first time. I am currently viewing a quite attractive Oakely Square O Perf Wallet after it linking through Chrome. But, it's $50 and I am in the UK!
PS I spoke 'wallet' using Google Now
Meaning that mine is screwed. But does it have anything to do with the OTA update in US, causing some unknown search issue?
Any more people to try this out? Especially who is in US
Thank you!
Worked for me.

I seemed to find something. So have you turned on the Now service? not the voice search feature, but the privacy-controversial service.
Seems like if never enrolled in Now, your search is working fine.

It's working for me as well but it opens up 2 identical webpages in chrome.
The search opening up 2 identical webpages is really bugging me now.....

That is also what happens to me, either opening two tabs or no tab at all. Drives me crazy. I hope people join me to report this to Google. It is definitely not me alone.
I'm having a far worse issue. I cannot open search results in any way on my Nexus 7. I've seen posts like this were you open 2 tabs in Chrome. I can't open anything!! Even clicking the description of the link doesn't work.
Similar issue here...
I have noticed pretty much the same issue on my Nexus 7. Sometimes clicking just below the title of the search result works. Sometimes clicking on the actual title works. Sometimes NOTHING is clickable. Very frustrating - especially when trying to show someone how cool Google Now is!!! My Nexus 7 is totally stock too..
Hopefully they will have a fix for this soon!

Well, this problem has gone from sporadic to consistent for me. Whenever I use the Google Now Widget to search for something and results are returned, I can't click on the results at all. I called Google Support and we tried clearing the cache and data the Google Search and Chrome apps and then did a Factory Data Reset. Nothing has been able to fix this for me. It totally seems like a software bug since generally everything else seems to function alright. Given this, I'm really surprised the Factory Data Reset didn't fix it for me.
Since I bought the Nexus 7 at Staples and I'm outside of the 14 day return policy (by just 1 darn day!!!), they said that they can't even exchange it for me. So now, I have to send it into Asus to have it "repaired".
Is anyone else having this issue?
For the record, I'm never buying anything electronic or of any significant value from Staples again!

I recently stumbled across this bug as well and chalked it up to being software related too. But whereas some people seem to have sporadic results, I can NEVER click my Google Now search results. I'm quite baffled that a factory reset didn't work and was actually about to do it myself, but if there's no guarantee that it'll solve the problem then it wouldn't be worth it. Honestly, I wouldn't send it to Asus to get it repaired because the issue might simply pop up again. I'm wondering if only a small minority is experiencing this problem though or if people just don't realize it yet (as I haven't really used much of Google Now). In any case, I hope this issue gets resolved soon.
EDIT: This must definitely be a software bug because I might have found a way to possibly resolve the issue. I activated Google Now, hit the menu button on the bottom right, went to "settings" then "privacy and accounts." Here, there should be an option for "Search on google.com." Mine was initially unchecked, but I simply checked the option again. Doing this, Google Now seems to now allow me to touch/click results. I should add that when I went back and unchecked the option, the issue did not return. So, regardless of what the option is set at for you guys, I would simply check or uncheck and try it seeing if that resolves the issue. I hope this works for others!
Sorry to bump this thread up again, but did this happen to work for anyone else?

I'm experiencing the same problems (can't click on standard web search results in Google Now, but can in Chrome). The above fix doesn't work for me (I don't have that showing up in my privacy settings on my Google Account, but then again I don't even have "search plus your world" available in my apps account yet).
Here's an interesting twist though: If I perform the following search in Google Now:
xda nexus 7 google now can't click on results​
I can't click the results. However the first result will include "More results from forum.xda-developers.com". If I click that link, it's not only clickable, but the results on the next page are all clickable.
Again, I'm on a Google Apps account, fwiw.
---------- Post added at 11:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------
One other interesting point: navigating through the Google Now results using an external keyboard (just cursoring up and down), I can select and enter any result without problems.
I think I may have figured out how to get search results clickable again...
1) Go into Settings->Privacy and accounts
2) Uncheck "Show recent searches"
3) Back out to the home screen
4) Try your search again and you should be able to click on the search results
This seems to do the trick for me. Give it a try and let us know if it works for you guys.

Mate, that solves it for me. Well done! Silly that I didn't try unchecking that before. I quite like having my search history, actually, but happier to have Now working.

Fix Does not work for me
Still can't click on results.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with having a second browser (Dophin) installed.
Maybe tablet does not know which to use?
When clicking on OTHER links tablet asks whether to complete the action with Chrome or Dolphin. Obviously when pressing on a Google now result that question does not pop up and the results are not clickable.
Maybe I will uninstall Dolphin and see if that helps
Thank you for the fix

It works but I was confused by your directions. From settings, go to Accounts Google, then Search, which then takes you to Privacy & Accounts.
This was very frustrating problem. I called Google Nexus Tech Support and talk about a useless rep. I can't believe others aren't complaining about the same problem.
Anyone else see this? Does anyone know the specifics on what the update does?

Where do you see it?
Yep, got it two days ago. I have since switched to SwiftKey. No desire to try it.
i would like to know also
Just got the notification this afternoon and downloaded it. I switched back to SwiftKey a few days ago, but the LG keyboard did have promise, so I'll check it out soon.
No idea what has been updated.
Seems like European D855 never get keyboard updates. Isn't even listed in app updates.
Today my european d855 got the new keyboard..
Isn't there new features to set collor of the keybord and keyboard hight etc.. Its good changes.

whats the version number?
It's 5.0.27.
I find it laggier, but need to test it more to be sure.
Just updated it. Can't notice any difference at all. No idea what they changed tbh.
I just received the update in my LG D855! Version 5.0.27 and about 46mb! I found new updates in predictive language
I get this update too 5.0 27 and it's install automatically....i don't know the difference
Sent from my LG-D855
Got the update here in India as well a few days back. Looks to be under-the-hood stuff. Probably optimizations rather than anything major. A lot of people had previously mentioned that the 'lag' on their phones noticeably reduces when they disable/uninstall the LG keyboard(there are a couple of threads about this 'tweak' as well) - So maybe there was indeed some poor memory usage or implementation that LG identified and fixed.
Anyway, never really liked or used stock keyboards. Swiftkey is the best when it comes to localized words/dictionary & cloud-sync.
I never noticed the ability to use handwriting before. Maybe it was always there but I just didn't see it.
For me the update just changed the predictive text. If you type car for example it would show an emoji of a car (stupid imo) and now if you type 2 words with similar character it will auto correct to the last one you used so constantly auto correcting to the wrong word for me making it unusable

Hello,
I have been searching the forums and the web for an answer but no luck, I hope someone could help me figure out what could be the issue.
I'm attaching some pictures so you can see exactly what is going on. At this moment I have this issue, with the play store, facebook and viber...
I have reset the phone multiple times and still the same.
It happens when you start to scroll, with facebook it is actually weird, it doesn't happen all the time, and it overlaps only like the "gray box" where you have the Like, Comment and Share buttons.
Phone is Galaxy S5 SM-G900H.
Thanks for any help!

Saw your thread, mine has never done that, no lagging nor freezing.
Mine actually works fine. In any of the applications I mentioned, if I scroll to the right (viber and facebook) and then go back, the top bar displays fine, the if you start to scroll down or up, it happens again.
I'll continue searching and testing....
You are on the first stage . I think )
Hi I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 900h. I experience the same problem but only on Facebook, I did the screen test (*#0*#0 or something like that) and in my opinion the hardware is working properly. Also If I turn my phone Facebook screen refresh in good shape, so I think It's a refresh problem.
Does anybody has the same issue? How to solve it?
Regards.
overlapping issue
did any one found solution for this i am still facing this issue with facebook,twitter and viber
Hi:
Since yesterday tweeter is overlapping also, when scrolling up at the left corner it disappeared the tweeter icon and overlap the user tweet photo.
The screen works OK it's just a display refresh issue but instead of fix it there are some other apps with the same issue. Today Facebook and Tweeter shows the same problem.
Does Samsung knows about this? I Think they must deploy an operation system fix immediately.
Regards.
Hi:
I am very happy to tell you yesterday my phone receive an update and automatically installed Android 5.0. All screens problems have been disappeared in Facebook and Twitter.
Now my Galaxy S5 is working fine.
Did you already receive the update?
Regards!
Has anyone found a fix for this other than getting an update? I'm on the Straight Talk version of S5, which doesn't have any updates to Lollipop. I'm stuck with this overlapping issue. Maybe if I restore a nandroid backup or something? They never made an ODIN flashable for my version either, so nandroid is the best I can do. Maybe an xposed module could fix it? Idk, just ideas. I realize this thread is from over a year ago, but the problem still exists for some of us who can't update :/

Hi guys, I got hold of my nexus 6p today and I've installed a couple of my most used apps. One of those is the NatWest banking app (UK). However whenever I try to sign in, it says that there is another app trying to interfere with it, and FCs. Now I haven't installed any different apps to what I had on my old phone, so I was just wondering if anyone had the same experience?
Also just to confirm I do not have flux or anything like that running!
Thanks,

I'm having the same issue as you. I also tried disabling now on tap to see if that would fix the issue but it hasn't. On my nexus 5 which I upgraded from I was running all the apps I am now. The only difference is the phone. Any idea from anyone else would be really appreciated.
Mine said that initially I think because a notification came through as I was setting up, did it again and it's fine. Not helpful I know, but it should work.

I had the same issue on my Nexus 6p but I tried disable all the app if possible. That was natwest support answer. But that didn't work for me but what did work is when you press the keys to enter your phone number to activate the app. Each press do it very very slowly. I think that what ever other app or process is interfering with the natwest app stops reading the key presses after a few seconds. That give you enough time to type the rest of the numbers needed start the activation of the natwest app.

Thanks for your advice.
I tried that and I managed to type in the second line by typing a new number every 10 seconds , however when trying to type the first line it always had the pop up at the 4th number! No matter how slow I go! Really frustrating! But at least that's progress!
Right guys I have found out what the issue was! The issue was - the numbers I was typing in a row. For some reason it didn't like me typing 0741. (The start of my number). I found a way around this by typing out the rest of the phone number then adding the bit it didn't like afterwards! And it worked! I've managed to get on the app now!
E.g
If your number is 1234567890
Type like 124567890 then add the 3 after!
Hope that helps!

Glad to hear that you managed to get the app activated, it's a very strange thing that my number also start 0741. Surely it's not that nos series that is causing the issue. Very very strange. Hopefully the Nat west support team will see our tips in the xda developers. :fingers-crossed:

Hi.
I don't know if I'm in the right place because I'm in canada and have the 900w8 (with Wind/Freedom) but anyway, just bought my Note 3 recently and I see no Mobile Data shortcut on the Notification panel and it seems this was a common problem after some update and I couldn't find any fixes for this. Also, the phone has Android version 5, which I know isn't the latest version but looks like there will be no updates for us.
So, any way I can get the Data shortcut, or maybe the android 6 version? My phone is stock everything.
Thanks.

I found a screenshot of Lollipop and it does show the mobile data shortcut.
Best I can tell you is to flash with Odin stock 5.0, but other than that, I do not know how you could fix it. Or just root it and try a custom ROM if that is something so important to you.
Thanks again for the reply and the suggestions, man. Yeah I don't know why this is happening with the Note 3s but like I said this was a common problem after some update. I've never rooted or flashed any phone and I don't know if I want to do this. So, looks like I have to live with this inconvenience. It also looks like I won't be able to swipe down to access shortcuts unless I unlock the screen. On my Moto E (Android 6) I'm able to do that without having to unlock the screen. That's another inconvenience.

Is that the case? I am not on stock anymore, but I think I remember it was possible if I just had the lockscreen to "swipe".
But then again, it could be a difference between Android 5 and 6
Flashing is an intimidating task and requires a lot of research but not as much as you may think.
Anyway, I'm not going to grind on that suggestion. Best I can tell you now is, enjoy your Note 3 experience
