I was wondering if anybody knew the cause or solution to this issue. I am trying to get to the settings. I press menu but it pops up and then it blinks off the screen so fast I can't even read it. I am rooted using ACE 4.6.1 with Splash v7 update 5 installed. I have removed Google search 2.3.xx and downloaded it from the market again and I still have the same issue.
Its an issue with tw phones I believe. I read multiple are having the same thing in the google now play store spot.
Im having it too.
Most likely they are working on it

I see you are on a custom ROM so this will not help you unless you can get a hold of the stock Google Search apk. I am on stock and uninstalled the updates for Google Search now all is well.
Google now
I don't think that's the case. I am using note 1 and have the issue. Using stock rom
Type A letter into the search bar. Press menu and go to settings. Go to voice. Disable hot word detection. Problem solved.
All you do is go to the voice app instead and hit settings promblem solved

I have the same problem. Also looking for help.
I found out what was causing it at least for me. I use screen filter to dim my screen since it will turn of the lights on home, menu, back, and search. When screen filter is enabled it messes i cant tap install. When i disable screen filter i can then tap install. Do u use screen filter too?

Yeah I use it too. Let me try and see if that's the fix.
Edit: it worked. Thanks for this.

I just got this phone today and so far I love it. One thing that is bothering me is the google search widget that is on the home screen. Is there a way to remove this? I've tried everything I can think of. Thanks!

You can disable it but you can't use the space it used to take up at the top of the home screen. I just got holo launcher (a home screen app) and now I have all that space usable too.

After disable Google Search, try to apply the theme again and the search bar should be disappeared.
Anybody able to get into google now menu after the update? I can hit the menu button but the pop up menu just immediately disappears.

Same here. Stock Unrooted after 4.1.2 OTA. No access to Google Now Menu. Flashes briefly then disappears. Tried to clear cache but won't clear. Tried to uninstall updates in application manger but hangs on uninstalling screen.
Click on the bar at the top to bring up your keyboard and now the menu will stay open.

Menu won't stay open whether keyboard present or not. Using Swiftkey.
Finally got the Google Search update to uninstall and the menu opens normally when not updated. Hmmm.

I have the same issue. Re-updated and menu flashes and disappears.
Add me to this list also. It's a bug in the new search update. It really sucks. Thankfully I don't need to use the menu/setting that much.
If I do I can get into it via settings.
Do a dummy search first, then try it....

Yep, this worked for me too. Now if I can just figure out why my battery life took a hit with the new update. Life will be good again.

I was able to get into that menu. But I still can't get into the menu if nothing is typed in the search bar.

Quick update. Still happening.
Workaround (based on previous posts and trials)
Open Google Now.
Type a space (or any placeholder text in the search bar.
Close the keyboard and retry the menu key. The menu should now pop up and float there.
The search bar seems to have to have something in it for menu to not instantly close again. I've put as little as just that space and it works.
Wonder how Google missed that?

I would hypothesize that this is a Samsung Twiz ROM issue, rather than a Google oops...Trying it on my PACMan 20.1 install I fail to get the bug.
Anyone in this thread so far not using a Sammy TWiz ROM?
Uninstall and re-install Google Search. Clear Google Talk data in App management. Reboot.
It'll work after that.
Here's what I'm doing:
1. Open camera
2. Tap gear for settings
3. Scroll down to "Take photos using voice"
4. When I try to tap "on", the camera freezes right there (can't back out with arrow, can't do anything), then it crashes.
Anyone else experienced this? All the other settings work fine in there, just that one's screwed up. Which is, of course... annoying!
Thanks for anyone's advice.
Di you have it enabled in s voice already?

I had that setting on since I discovered it and just recently I deleted svoice. So I went to see if it was working because I read the previous posts and guess what? No response loll. I guess ill be installing svoice back

Is there a way I can disable S Voice? I wish I could replace it with Google Now, but if I could at least disable it I would be happy. I keep pressing the home button through the cover and start the S Voice app by accident at the worst possible and most embarrassing times. It's driving me berserk! :banghead:
Edit: never mind I got it. I unchecked everything in the S Voice settings menu after I launched S Voice and now when I press the home key I get the Google Now voice search prompt. Exactly what I wanted. (I'm also using Nova launcher, not sure if that also helps. )

Just go into settings, App Manager and S Voice and hit disable. If you ever want it back you can enable.
I have just the thing for you. Go into s voice settings and disable "open via the home key", then download "Home2Shortcut" from the play store. This application allows you to open any app through a double press of the main home key. I.e. Google now.
