Google Assistant Now on Stock - Nexus 6 General

It's on mine. No mods. On 7.1.1 March.
While, for now at least, Google Now is much more functional, Google Assistant is here for the people who wanted it.
Edit: I think it has the same functionality nowadays as Google now. Well heck. Cool.

Huh - you are absolutely right. I was expecting an app update, and yet here it is. Thanks Google.

Funny enough, the wife's Nexus 6p doesn't have Google Assistant yet.

Google Wallet Update

Guys, thanks in advance for the support. My phone is the Nexus S i9020A. There is a recent update (8/1/2012) for the Google Wallet, which can now facilitate all the major credit cards. How can I manually update the app on my phone? I got the app from a link on the forum, because trying to get it from the Google Play Store had given a message about the version not being compatible with my device at the time; the app is not listed in, "My Android Apps", in the Google play store. I've already tried doing the update from the app settings on my phone. Much thanks and appreciation.

I thought it was supported on 9020a. Or better yet any 9020 as long as it was on att network at the time. Anyways either I am wrong it it has changed.
Either way just side loading the app should work just fine.
albundy2010, thanks and much appreciation. Actually, I got my unlocked nx s from Amazon. Where can I get the updated Google Wallet app to side load onto my device? I use the app almost every day with a daily balance, and would prefer an update as the first choice. Much thanks.

There is post with it on the nexus s themes and app forum.
Thanks and much appreciation. I'll look it up in a bit.

should still work even if your unlocked/ rooted mine does
It's working. I just need the latest update, but the WP update button on my phone is not highlighted to let me do it. I did not get the app from the play store so its not listed on "My Android Apps"

Hi guys, thanks for the support. I spoke with someone from the Google Wallet support team, and was told that I will no longer be able use GW on my unlocked Nexus S i9020a; it is because of the latest update which don't support the device. Actually, I felt embarrassed when it failed to function at a 7 Eleven, and which was the reason I called. Unless there's an .apk file for the latest update that could be found, perhaps on this or another forum, I'm done with the GW. (Still got a balance to retrieve). Much thanks and appreciation to the forum for all the support.

It works.
albundy2010, You're good! Thanks a million. I am just overwhelmed as a result of your quick and timely response to facilitate me getting the recent update for Google Wallet. I've already downloaded the app. I had to check the box to allow for installing from outside of the play store. It updated perfectly, and included all my personal settings from the outdated app. I now have to test it at the store, and will post to let you know how it worked out. I am very, very grateful to you and the forum for the support . Much thanks and appreciation.

albundy2010, it worked perfect at the CVS store. In fact, it was smooth and without lag; much better than the previous version. A million thanks and much appreciation.

Firefox and spell checker broken after 4.2 update.

Hi firefox crashes everytime i load it but what really bakes my noodle is the spell checker and word pridiction no longer works. Why do google use its customers as beta testers? Anyone else having problems after updating?

Well you can't ding Google for Firefox problems. Not their product or recommended browser.
Still getting used to the default keyboard. Think I like Swype Beta better. At least I understand their autocorrect.
I can ding them for the update braking there own software. Its not just me thats having problems after the update.

Firefox beta was just updated, I think it fixed the crashing of same

Lag
Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I also have issues with spell correction and bad lag when typing since the latest update. Any ideas?

My girlfriends phone won't show updates in play store.

OK. I have a weird issue. We just brought my wife's galaxy s4 home and I was helping her set it up. She is coming from an iPhone 4 so its a little overwhelming for her. Ha. But anyway. I can't figure out why the play store won't show updates for the preinstalled apps. Like talk wasn't shown to update to hangouts. And Google now didn't show an update in the play store app but when you open the app it asked for an update. Here a couple screenshots of what I ,mean.

Wife? Girlfruend? Geezus o_o which one is which? Haha
Anyway, that's nothing to worry about an update will come over eventually

Hahaha. Wow. We got married last year. I haven't called her girlfriend in forever. Woops. Ha.
Anyway. I just didn't know why they didn't show up on the my apps list at all. None of the preinstalled apps show up. So almost all of the Google apps say they need an update if I search for them but when I look at the my apps they aren't even listed. Weird. None of my other android devices did this before. Oh well. I just wasn't sure if it was a setting in the s4 somewhere that I was missing.

Maybe the apps you have installed were backups? I experienced that before.. I made a backup (titanium) then batch installed it with the new rom, it didn't show any updates in the Playstore but it was listed "installed" in the All Apps tab. I didn't bother to confuse myself anymore )
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
I'm getting a similar issue, playstore only notifies updates after phone is rebooted, not shure why this is happening =/
Maybe try using the market doctor feature in TitaniumBackup?
Yup. After reboot everything worked. I think it was just taking time because it was a new google account. No titainium restore. She came from an iphone 4.

I use the app very much and have never had a noticeable drain in neither use nor for non-use. Greenify looks wonderful. But everyone as he wants, so no one is forced to use the app. Personally I do 1000 times better than the FB garbage
I think the new design is very interesting.. I'm excited to see how the other GApps are going to look like. For me it's very interesting that they removed the navigation drawer..

Now if only Google will get some consistency on a UI standard across their Google products. Every damn app has a different ui lol. What is the Google design team smoking over there? Lol.
Hehe yes, it's true but on the other side it's good to see they update the apps and the most updates are good updates
Hangouts , G+ are fine now , Gmail i don't use but looks ok. Maybe in the future we see a package of the apps that visually harmonize

I wish. One thing I love is consistency. The one thing that Google lacks. I think each app has its own team. They need to collaborate for a collective ui.

Has anyone else ever tried this?

Battery life on 7.0 wasn't that good. What I did do was delete chrome Gmail and Google maps. I replaced with javelin browser outlook and here maps.
I'm also using Bing instead of Google. I am now getting better battery life than what I was getting. Anyone else tried this?
Probably helps that I'm using tupacs debloated ROM as well

If you are going to use Bing and Outlook, just get a Windows phone then.
