Google Now/Voice Commands on the GNex - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Just thought I would start a nice section for people who come across any nice interesting questions or commands to ask Google Now/Voice.
I tried:
"What's the Meaning of Life."
"Play <Insert Artist Here>"
Any of you guys find any other nice commands to use?

Buy (free) the Nexus 7 manual off the Google Play Books store.
Page 35 and up tells you the commands it uses for the cool card results and other voice actions/searches.

You can find several starting at page 36 of the free Nexus 7 handbook. There are a lot of them

Any suggestion for someone outside us who has no access to the play books section?

Can you see that?

Does Google now work outside us? Mine only does Google searches, no app or cards basically. Even asking the weather does a Google search instead of weather card
What am I doing wrong?

Same here. How do you enable this outside the us? It's pretty awesome at understanding my English, and but all it does is search when I ask it something.

I tried a bunch of cool stuff last night that gave the nice, card-based, spoken answers. I wish I could remember more of them, but a few were:
How tall is Yao Ming?
What is the capital of Thailand?
What is 2,346 times 547?
Other cool actions:
Remind me to check the oven in 20 minutes.
Listen to Coldplay...(which launched Rhapsody and started playing Coldplay songs)

To the people having the same problem as me (does web search not not cards or apps) set the phone language to English (US) (go to settings, language & input, language) and it will bring Google Now back to life

If it still doesn't work, then turn Google now off and on.

I can't access Google play books, can anyone upload the pages for voice commands? Thanks.

Obviously play book store doesnt support all countries in the world as most of other google services.

Can anyone just upload it here for all us international users? Also, where can I find Market Enabler?

Here you go.

I just tried "What does the weather look like right now"
Pretty cool.

I went to a locksmith the other day, and I was looking again for the name just now and found the address, I type it in on the website google maps.
I just looked at my phone now and it automatically showed traffic/navigation info on the Google Now screen! awesome!

Say "I'm Hungry"

Try These:
"When do the Mariner's play next?"
"Who do the Mariner's Play Next?"
"Did the Mariner's win their last game?"
"How are the Seattle mariner's doing?"
"Remind me to turn off the water in three minutes"

New Google Maps Mobile

Haven't seen this posted here yet.
Looks like Google released a new version of GMM. No longer do I get those pesky wininetread errors.
The new version is 1.2.0.2
I'm running Shadow as well.
Here's the link I used from pocket ie: http://www.google.com/gmm
The file is called: googlemaps_compressed
PM
Do you have a linky at all?
Matt
Link to new Google Maps
http://www.google.com/gmm/GoogleMaps.CAB
...or just go to google.com on your phone and you should get a link to if from there on the home page...
Smiffy.

Guy, that's lazy.
And then noobs complain when other members are blunt.
Google is google, and the biggest search engine in the world. Google Maps Mobile is one of their most famous --and only PPC apps-- how could you or anyone else not find the App? Type Google Maps Mobile on your phone or PC?
Sorry, to put this in the spotlight but this is an obvious example why members get upset at new users and don't worry it is not just about you. Currently there are been an ongoing issue about Noobs.
Plays nice in WM6
This new version seems to work better in WM6 ... I can now drag my screen to move the map without the annoying data/refresh errors I used to get in the last version.
Good catch.
The initial version of the program was pretty unuseable due to the error messages.
Hope this version is better!

Street view is so rediculously stupid. In fact I was talking to a director at Google a couple of weeks ago and told him to stop focusing on that poc street view and fix gmm. GMM, after their search engine and maps is probably the most useful thing they have going.
I then proceeded to show him how gmm was incapable of finding the party we were trying to go to because of all the errors. We eventually got there. This new gmm came so quick after that incident... hmm I wonder...
Seriously though, street view??? Can you think of a singe legitimate use for it beyond the cool hey there's where I used to live in manhattan?

But no new features
Yes, the new GMM is nice, in that the wininet error is gone. I haven't played with it too much yet, but the one thing I DID notice is that there is still no hybrid view, with streets superimposed over a sat view.
Again, haven't played with it too much yet, but I haven't seen anything new, outside of the error fix. Has anyone noticed any new functionality?
-pvs
[EDIT] Well, I clicked around with it a bit, and while I AM happy they fixed the glitch, I'm saddened that they couldn't add a few new features, for instance:
1) Hybrid view, as mentioned above
2) The ability to move it's cache to a storage card
3) The ability to preserve my historical locations, searches and directions between upgrades
But again, I'm happy they fixed the wininet glitch. And I guess ... what do I want for free, right?

Agreed, sorry to wander...
I'm just excited to try the new GMM.
How about a legitimate use for an average person. Everyone needs GMM, very few need street views. Street view is the kind of thing that seems cool and you can talk about at cocktail parties, but you will never use. I use mapping software nearly everyday. And if they get traffic working, could increase productivity in this country by millions if not billions of dollars.

yes. i love it. i live in nyc. now when i go somewhere that is unfamiliar i check it out on street view first so i know exactly what im looking for when i get there. i love it.
I will agree that the street view is not that important. It's more like a 'wow, this is cool' kind of feature.
All in all, this new release appears to be very stable. No annoying errors.
I think this is the future of GPS programs. It is much easier to distribute new maps when available, and add new features.
I envision a program similar to this which simply caches the maps you use most often on the device, and updates them via your data plan whenever an update is needed. If you go to a new city or state, the device starts caching the new area.
GPS works better. yey! You can now configure the GPS, so there's actually a chance of it working
new option in GMM
DTX is corrrect, there is now an option to specify which serial port your GPS is on unlike the previous version. I didnt find this useful because I always set my GPS up under Start-Settings-GPS but you do have an option now to over ride this setting.
I drove around all day yesterday trying out the new GMM to see if the WINNET error would reveal its ugly head and it didnt. I was even out in BFE yesterday and when I would loose cell coverage and then come back in the GMM went to work to catch me back up.
My only wish list thing would be to orient the map depending on which direction you are heading. This was a feature in Pocket Streets that I found very handy instead of playing a guessing game as to which direction to turn...
Enjoy!

[Q] Jelly Bean Voice Search Woes ?

Hello,
does anyone have issues with the voice search not working as advertised on the keynote?
For example, asking "Who's is the Prime Minister of Japan" just returns a web search result and nothing else. No talking back.
It seems as though it's been disabled, can anyone confirm this?
Edit: Perhaps it's because I'm outside of the US? I'd love to hear back from users with Jellybean outside and inside the US.
Google Now/Search definitely talks back. I just tried that right now. Have you enabled all the features in keyboard/typing and search settings? Try a restart also after

Alright so I can confirm. Once I went home I was able to get it to talk back and respond to some basic questions, such as "weather" and "who is prime minister of x".
Anyone have any other cool questions you asked that Google responds to? For example, currency conversion doesn't respond back to me, just shows me search.
Although I can never get the mapping questions to show up. "Map of gas stations near me", or "Map of closest 7 eleven"
Also, my Google Now shows no results.
Confirmed working over here in Australia. Pretty cool actually. Now excuse me I've got a bus full of iPhoneys to show off to!
I can't get it to talk, it just shows me some googlelinks here in germany :/

Also, sending texts, settings alarms etc doesn't work

For England if you ask, "Who is the Prime Minister of UK" it works.
For SMS I say, "Send text to Dad I'm going to be late today" works for me.
For Alarm, I say, "Set and Alarm for 430 am tomorrow" also works.
Fun think to try, "What is the answer to life, the universe and everything" you get, "42"
Other things I've noticed:
"Where are all the petrol stations near me" works. Whereas, "where are all the gas stations near me" didn't. Then slowly, over time, as I used it more they started to work.
It seems like something is going on in the servers at ol google.

Different Versions of Google Now?

I have been trying to track down some issues i have been having with Google Now on Jelly Bean, and I have realized there are a few different versions of teh google search apk, (sometimes labled velvet.apk) in the wild.
2.0.0.398337 2.0.0.392829 and v2.0.0.402395 all exist at a minumum.
With the latest AOKP AUG25 build containing the lowest of the three at 2.0.0.392829 i am curious what other versions there are.
A few tests can be done that will hopefully help me to narrow down the issues at hand. Under Settings>Privacy and Accounts, there should be an option that allows you to use google.com for search instead of local domain, but this option does not exist on my build. I think that this may be why my gNow does not work as well as some other individuals.
For instance,
When I ask google "How tall is Kobe Bryant?" a voice response returns "Kobe Bryant is 6 foot 6 inches tall" ...
When I ask google "How tall is the Eiffel Tower?" it simple shows the results in google, with no card, but if i ask "What is the height of the Eiffel Tower? the voice response is given. It has been verified by others using the higher versions of google search that asking "how tall is" works just fine on their end.
Additionally, (and this may be across the board for all instances of GNOW) when i try to use the offline feature the only ability gnow has is to make a phone call. One would assume that being able to create alarms, and send text would still be available.
If anyone can help shed some light onto this issue please comment below. Also i have linked to the gnexus guide for google now for function reference.
http://support.google.com/nexus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2665843&topic=2590357&ctx=topic
As well as the configuration page for google now on xda
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740542
It may just be that we need to pull the google search apk from the nexus and load it onto our phone (running a JB based rom of course)
I would like to further expand on this. I used to say 44th president or 43 president etc, and it would say george Bush, Barak, etc... But now it only shows the text answer. Did google change something or what?

If i ask "41st president" i get a text response. IF i ask "Who was the 41st president" I get a spoke answer. This remains true until the 16th president. From that point and lower all answers are text based.
Something foul is definitely afoot here.
I noticed the same thing. Asking what's the weather on the Nexus gives weather then says "here's the forecast for the week" unlike on our GS2

[Q] Galaxy Note II - Google Voise Search

Hey all, Since the purcahse of my Infnity Tab, I have been waiting to get an android "phone" to replace my old iphone 3gs. So grabbed the Note II yesterday ! Love it ! So far so good, with the exception of one small issue. S voice fine for what it is, but I watched many videos on Google Voice where it will actually "speak back" (a la Siri or "S" voice). I can not for the life of me get google search to speak an answer back to me.
I have check volume for "media" - I can hear S voice so I should be able to hear Google's voice
I have English (US) selected as language of choice.
I have voice response set to "Always"
What might I be missing. I have searched and watched a few videos, I am stumped.
Any tips/help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tried generic questions like "what's the weather gonna be like today?" and if so, what happens when you ask these questions.

Where do you live? If you purchased your phone outside of the United States that's why it's not working.

I'm kinda confuse here... You do know Google Voice and Google Now are two different products, right?
Google Voice: voice.google.com
Google Now: the voice recognition (assistant) feature introduced on JB, like Siri on steroids...
As for the question... Open Google Search, check on Settings\Voice\Speech Output
Peace!

But no matter what if you want Google NOW to to talkback you have to use the local/language app. Because for some reason none US phones don't allow you to change the phone language to English (US).

Firestick 2 Won't run without google play services which are not supported by device

I sideloaded a television providers app (Fios Mobile) installed on my device. The app was working perfectly but it just updated and I keep getting the error "Won't run without google play services which are not supported by your device".
I tried reverting back to the previous version but it was a mandatory update, so no dice. I tried sideloading the Google Play store but that did not help.
Is there a workaround for this type of error? The app does not API call any of Google Play Services. It seems like many of the TV apps are dropping support (they encouraged it a few years ago to lower bills) so you buy another Set top box. Other cable apps know you are inserting a device into a HDMI port and disable it from working that way.
I can download each individual TV app and enter my television providers password or mirror from my Android Phone but that would be a huge inconvenience.
Any suggestions? If there an app that will fool my TV app into thinking the play store is installed?
Since every channel pretty much has it's own app now, is there another app that will take its place instead of downloading each channels separate app and entering the password?
Is your firestick rooted? (Sorry, I don't know if they can even be rooted.) If so, there's an Xposed module to allow apps to work without Google Play Services.
Another idea is to get the Fios Mobile app from the Amazon App Store and side load that one onto your Fire TV: https://www.amazon.com/Verizon-Services-Corp-FiOS-Mobile/dp/B00DGVUD9I/
That one may not have any dependencies on Google apps.

Seriously, you are giving me outdated information???? "Fios Mobile won't run unless you update Google Play Services". It would be nice to know where to find updated compatible versions for each. I have looked at several app stores and none seem to work. So please cut that attitude as your five-second search advice did not get me any further than I was before.

Is your firestick rooted? (Sorry, I don't know if they can even be rooted.) If so, there's an Xposed module to allow apps to work without Google Play Services.

Last I checked the Firestick 2 can't be routed. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Another idea is to get the Fios Mobile app from the Amazon App Store and side load that one onto your Fire TV: [/url]

I tried two different app stores but not that Amazon one. Crossing fingers!!!! DARN. Just tried it and said incompatible, you can't make purchases from this device. Fios does support Kindle fire but as I suspect, they don't want the app as a box substitute like they used too.
Maybe, someone has an updated version of what Timmy P linked too. Hopefully, they will test the link first before making condescending remarks about checking older posts.

Because when I read that site from the original author it said FTV and FTV stick not 2 dumbass. Then I read the re-post on here claiming FTV 2 from MARCH 2017!! DId you not see where I said everything was working perfectly since September 4th!!!! Technology changes fast little tike. Google also updates and apps do along with it buttercup.
But I assumed someone with such a smug post must be correct but what a surprise you were not cupcake.
Since there is only 1 person who found a fix on the entire internet, it must not be a very easy fix. If it were, he could put it on APK sites for constant updates.
That is why I also asked 1: If there is a workaround. Easy/permanent if possible, so I don't need to worry about this update. Even easier if there is a 3rd party app that would consolidate all the apps and enter my default password for me.
P.S Being smug even when your correct is being an ass, doing so when you are incorrect makes you a stinky diarrhea with **** nuggets still stuck kind of ass.
I take it English isn't your first language?

Actually, it is but the English language can't adequately describe just how big of a douche you are.
