Google now tasker commands

Hi all i don't know if this is the correct place to post this but i am having some issues with google now on the moto 360.
i am using tasker,autovoice and iftt to open my garage door and control my nest thermostat. when using google now on the phone everything works fine. if i say "ok google its hot" it send a sms to iftt then turns the nest on to 65. when i do it on the 360 it just returns google now search results, i have the newest googlenow api,takser. i have never been able to get this to work since day one. Does anyone have any success stories or ideas of what i might be doing wrong?

I control most things in my home using my Moto 360 and google now/voice search. Google Now API + Autovoice + Tasker works 100% of the time for me, but it takes time and a lot of study to get things to work perfectly.
In my setup, a single javascript triggered by Tasker sends the voice command to my HA server for processing. Then my HA server sends an HTTP response that is read back by Tasker. This way I know what's been performed and get a voice confirmation. I can also query states too.
I would carefully read the google now api thread on how to fix your issue (it's been covered there 4--5 times now).

I have tasker and autovoice and google now api working perfect but for some reason it does not recognize my voice commands from moto360, any idea why?

I have the same question.. Does anybody now how to get it work?
Or when dutch voice will be supported
And i heard something about auto wear? What is it and can it do? And where can i download it?

As far as I know, the Google now API on Android Wear devices is kind of locked down right now. The only option I've heard of requires root and an xposed module to get autovoice to recognize commands from the Moto 360. However, if I may be so rude. I'm developing an app called weartasker which might help you out for now. The free version let's you launch 3 tasker tasks from you watch while the pro version of course has some more options, including (basic) OK Google support. It allows you to say "OK Google, start task 1/2/3" to launch a task of your touch. By far not as fancy as the power of full autovoice but it does work right now, please check it out here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cuberob.weartasker if you're interested. Hope posting this link in context is oké!

Not yet...
Lots of Google Now commands don't work on Android Wear, Nest appears to be one of them even tho you can now control you Nest with "Ok Google" commands from your phone. I'm sure there is a way to set up a workaround, but as stated in another post it'll take a bit of legwork.

[Q] Google Play Music Sync Issues

TL;DR - Picked up my G4 at T-Mobile yesterday and I'm having issues fully syncing my music and playlists to my Google Play Music app. Tried every fix I could think of to no avail.
---
Only a portion of the music I've uploaded and added through All Access are showing up on the app. It's most obvious when looking through my playlists - many have significantly fewer tracks in them and some are completely blank. I've also found incomplete albums in my library.
The music hasn't been lost completely though. Everything looks fine in the web app and on my other devices (Nexus 9 and Moto G 2014).
I've tried refreshing my library, clearing cache/data, uninstalling updates, rebooting, reinstalling updates, and a factory reset. I've also unchecked and rechecked GPM sync under Accounts in Settings. No luck!
Anyone else run into this kind of issue on the G4 or any new devices they've purchased? Any suggestions for a fix? I'll troubleshoot some more today and try to exchange in-store for a new phone tomorrow if I can't find a fix.
Thanks.
---
EDIT
(7/15/15)
Just got an email from Google Support saying the issue has been resolved.
They had me clear my app data and cache, then reboot and refresh the library. I had to wait a couple minutes for everything to re-sync, but it actually worked for me.
I cross-referenced a dozen playlists on my phone with the playlists on the web app. All matching. Spot-checked a few artists and there doesn't seem to be any incomplete/missing albums.

LG G4 Google Music issue
Im having the same issue. I thought it just my phone and playplaylists but after reading your post I checked the music in my library and music I uploaded and music I added with all access is not there. All my other devices show my complete collection. I think it's a G4 issue.
Did switching phones help?

I had that issue, but was over WiFi. Once I disconnected from Wi-Fi, it was fine again. Not really sure what happened.

Exchanging for a new G4 did not help. :/
Have you had any luck getting your library and playlists to populate on your G4?
It doesn't seem to be only a G4 issue either. I have another thread going on at the Android Central forums and there are two other users with the same issue. One has a new G4, the other has a new GS6. We all have ongoing tickets being 'escalated' with Google Support.
I'm a newer user so I can't post outside links, but if you copy/paste some of the text in my OP you should be able to find the thread.

I have been having EXACTLY the same problem as the OP. It's been very frustrating.
Your WiFi solution has already made a bit of a difference. If it fixes it completely when I try it properly, I will track you down and kiss you passionately.

It's not your phone it's the Amateur Hour app that is Google Play Music.
While Chasing all things Social and bending over Backwards to be Facebook. Google Let this jewel of an app turn into a perfect example of why Not to Reinvent the wheel.
Ive Been having the exact same problems and many others ever since I subscribed, Dec. 2014. The app cant handle the additional strains on its limited resources and Android is already a memory sucking pig.
Ive had these issues on a Moto X 2013, Two Moto X 2014's, Two Drod Maxx's and a 2013 Nexus 7. So I know for a fact it;s not the device.
Getting any help from google is like trying to get milk from a Bull. They are so stuck in the "Everything at Google is Free and You are all our Beta Testers (Guinea Pigs) mindset. That they forget or Don't realize that people are actually paying for this service. Though, Not Many Apparently.
You can do factory resets, Data, Cache clears Uninstall and re-installs etc until the cows come home. None will Fix these issues. The problems are account related and google needs to manually reset each one.
For Music Not showing up here is a simple but painstaking fix
Log onto a PC and go to GPM Find Your music - (Google keeps trying to Hide this aspect of the Service) select an artist, Click the "All My Songs" Card = The first one, now Select / highlight every song and then click edit - Don't change anything, click save - That's it
Now go to your phone and you will see all the songs there, you might need to refresh though.
You think any of the Bike riding, Free Food eating Geniuses at google could or would tell you to do that - Don't hold your breath - All they will say is do a factory reset, deny there is or they have heard of a similar issue and finally, tell you it's been escalated. Which , like their Feedback service is another term for it's been sent to the Great Circualr Filing cabinet.
It's been 6 long months of Music constantly restarting after 20 seconds +/-, Voice commands to play a song or an album failing endlessly, Huge portions of my library gone missing on mobile devices. etc,, and Google refuses to help.
Google Play Music as it stands now is good for One thing - Shuffle Play of your library - Thats it. The Curated Lists fail More than they work, Using the shuffle widget Plays more music NOT in your library then music in it and none of it similar to what you have. The "Recommended for You" Crap is just a waste of resources.
I have 27K songs uploaded and another 26K "Added to my Library" from the Subscription and Nothing works!

Whoa that works. It's gonna be a pain but I've worked through most of "A". Thanks.
Still need to find a way to restore my playlists on my phone though. The same edit-save trick doesn't seem to do the trick.

Playlist will wok with the "Fix" but take multiple attempts. If they are Large (100+ songs) try doing it in groups of 25.
I had one playlist with 170+ songs and it took 5 attempts trying to highlight every song wouldnt work. The Edit info was greyed out.. A few songs needed to be removed and re-added - You couldn't edit their info
After I found the "Bad" Songs I was able to do a bulk edit on the list and it worked
PS I tried doing a bulk edit on all 54K songs in my library but it to failed miserably.
This may be because of googles insistence to use the arcane and antiquated Chrome / Flash for everything google. Me using an older PC with XP ( Which makes using GPM Painful) or because it has to be done artist by artist.
I reached out to google , Again yesterday by phone to tell them of the "Fix" and the Pri-madonna who I spoke to couldn't care less or be more contemptuous.

Just got an email from Google Support saying the issue has been resolved.
They had me clear my app data and cache, then reboot and refresh the library. I had to wait a couple minutes for everything to re-sync, but it actually worked for me.

(Q) How can I disable Instant Apps for Android

Like the title says, I've noticed since updating to 7.1.2 at least 2-3 times a day I am thrown a notification for "updating Instant Apps" but it never tells me if it was updated or installed. I tried going to Settings -> Google -> Instant Apps and it is disabled yet these apps are auto-downloading and installing in the background. I have auto-updates off on the play store but this still occurs.
Is there anything I can do to disable or at least cripple the instant apps? I'm reading the purpose of instant apps is so you can try an application without installing it, I do not want to test drive apps like Buzzfeed so however I can disable it would be great

So, using Titanium Backup I couldn't find the package com.google.android.instantapps.supervisor but using a root explorer I found the application in /data/app/com.google.android.instantapps.supervisor-2
I also found saved data in /data/data/com.google.android.apps.instantapps.supervisor
I have no idea if this will prevent the service from auto-updating as it has been without permission but I know where it is now...
Update: Deleting both folders causing settings to crash when you go to Settings -> Google -> Instant apps, so it might be deleted off my phone entirely. I will update if I see the application re-install itself

Instant apps are temporary apps. So you can't uninstall them or disable it. It's a feature built into Android that is not going away. Your only option is to install a rom without Gapps. Otherwise deal with it.

deleting those two files seemed to have broken that feature.
My issue was that I disabled that service through settings as suggested by one of the google support pages but it would still download and install "Instant Apps" the service throughout the day, not the actual temporary apps themselves. So it's been dealt with lol

oh man, when i saw this i thought i had a virus on my phone.
especially when i couldn't find anything named "instant apps" in the app drawer

I am hoping that this will work for me as well. The first time I saw the instant apps pop up I just connected to a free wifi in Mexico and freaked out. This seriously bothers me. I uninstalled it and it came back update after update. I also will not be using any instant apps, so this is something I want to break.

some how it was pushed back on to my phone. this is not a permanent solution...

so I'm trying to disable this through other means now and I found something interesting? I need someone with more experience to chime in as far as what these* lines* do*.. and where I found it...
so in /data/data/com.google.android.apps.instantapps.supervisor/shared_prefs/phenotypeConfigurations.xml there are these three lines:
<boolean name="Supervisor__enable_instant_apps" value="true" />
<boolean name="Supervisor__disable_url_resolution" value="false" />
<boolean name="TestFeature__enable_test" value="true" />
I flipped the value of these three entries to see if this will disable it. I find it odd that for the first line it was set for "true" when the settings say it's off. I will update again if I see this come back. My coworker had suggested that this may be built in to the Google app itself? Let's see...

so I had to unroot my phone because I forgot to log into snapchat, then re-root after, and Instant Apps was back yet again. The changes I made to the XML file persisted but the app was back.
I think I found a way to remove it entirely. I used Root Explorer, idk what other applications would work for this. So I navigated back to /data/app/com.google.android.instantapps.supervisor-1 and I clicked the base.apk and I had an option to uninstall, I did this then rebooted my phone to see if reboots are why it fixes itself except the entry for Instant Apps has been removed from settings. This appears to permanently remove this feature.

every time I think I fix this it keeps coming back lol, I finally called Google Support and this is the first they are hearing of it. The application re-installed itself at 430-some Mountain Time on it's own, other times it re-installs upon reboot. I'm going to find a way to cripple it if google cant
I recommend calling support to let them know that Instant Apps is enabled even though the switch says it is disabled.

I have the same annoyances, "Installig Instant apps" notification appears randomly during the last month, and reading in the logcat they are updates/patches to the new feature, managed by finsky app (Play Store). The most scaring thing is that one time it appeared also during mobile data connection, which is not acceptable (and 800kb background data from Play Store). Google is being too aggressive with it. Why not simply integrate it and update it along with Play Services like the other 1000 google APIs ? !on WIFI!
Thank you for your tests, unfortunately the update process seems to be triggered by Google Play services itself or by Google play store.
I searched for related alarms/wakelocks in Amplify and could only found one wakelock coming from com.google.android.apps.instantapps.supervisor itself: .ExperimentUpdateService. I decided to keep it as this probably isn't the trigger.

yeah that's now my only worrisome complaint is that it ignores the play store settings and will download over any network connection. You can try submitting feedback through settings and suggest they fix this part so that it updates as you said. Thanks for the additional info, I'll try disabling that and report back if it makes any difference. I doubt that's the source of the problem though so I uninstall the apk so something else must be initiating it.

Thank you guys for this thread! I have the regular Pixel and have been seeing this happen... "Instant Apps" was disabled but somehow still updating either itself or something else, and I wondered if there was an additional switch somewhere to disable it. Looks like the answer is no. ?

So I noticed every time the play store found an update, magically Instant Apps was back. I began to notice that this may be a service built into Play Store and not the Google app itself. So I had an idea, I went into Settings for Android and turned off background data for Play services. Obviously this will affect quite a bit, but honestly I am at that point from fighting this feature that I'd gladly give that up. So far after 2 days I have not seen the application re-install itself. It has been more permanent that the other solutions I've had so far.
There's an article from XDA in Analysis and Opinion talking about Instant Apps and Play Store 7.8.15, apparently this issue is affecting people all the way down to the Samsung S5... although people are hesistant to believe this issue exists for whatever reason.

You can cripple it by restricting its access to internet via firewall. Unfortunately this method also drives up battery consumption as the firewall does jujitsu with "Google Play services for Instant Apps" - I am actively fantasizing about taking my baby sledge to this thing and going back to a "dumb"-phone that doesn't have all this drama constantly! I'm using an S5 right now. This is definitely a google thing. They have a similar self-install-without-asking "feature" on windows via their chrome browser. Just look up "SwReporter" in that program's directory. It self-populates with an executable as you use chrome normally and there is no option in the program for it to not do that. You can safely make a shortcut to that directory and empty it out regularly to restrict its functionality which is presumably for keeping an eye on you. I am also trying an alternate method of changing security to prevent write access to that directory. I have no idea how to do that on an unrooted android. Any ideas? And does anybody know how to cripple "instant apps" malware/spyware backdoor "feature" on an unrooted device without eating battery like crazy?

Today I noticed that Instant Apps was installing without my permission. When I clicked on that notification, it brought me to the Google Play Store. (In Google Play Store, I have auto updates disabled.) I have an unrooted Galaxy Note 4 and I can't even find the settings for Instant Apps under the Google settings. Why aren't the settings there? I found the app in the Apps settings called "Google Play services for Instant Apps" (thank you G1A). I cleared it's the cache and data and then uninstalled it. So I'm assuming it will not come back but you never know.
EDIT: Well the "Google Play services for Instant Apps" reinstalled itself AGAIN WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. Getting sick of tired of Google's POMPOUS business ethics.

If it reinstalled itself.... then his would require root privileges in order to disable.

yeah this issue is annoying, it seems to initiate the download upon every reboot and each time it checks the play store for updates for any of your apps.
I found a way to disable it but it required freezing the app through Titanium Backup. I have NO CLUE why I couldn't see Instant Apps before in this list but it is listed as "Google Play Services for Instant Apps." It does not re-install or try to even download, does not show in Settings under Google, but if you look at the app itself in settings you will see it does still run. I am not sure to what extent but yeeeaahhh at least it doesnt seem like it can run anything

No problem As an update, changing security permissions (specifically for writing) for chrome's target folder Definitely (in windows 10) serves as an effective measure to blockade its ability to regenerate itself. This same method also works for microsoft edge located in the C-Windows-SystemApps folder. I presume that the programming methods would be analogous with android on google's end. Anybody know how to restrict write access to a folder on android? So long as it checks for a folder existing and it does exist (multi-decade programming approach) then it attempts to write to that folder. However, because it's already running in stealth mode (aka background) then it will never show an error message when it fails to execute, and it won't report back either, as that functionality depends on the contents of the targeted folder it is denied access to. It should be effectively crippled without excessive CPU consumption if you can just restrict its ability to write to the default folder that it installs itself in. Any ideas how to execute this kind of blockade?
UPDATE: As a way to cripple not Instant Apps specifically, but an entire host of functionality on the android platform, something called "Power Saving Mode" seems to knock out a key background runtime required for this pest to run. Unfortunately it doesn't let you pick and choose what it shuts off, so other useful apps may lose their functionality too. Post if anybody finds a more app-specific method!

Does this crap have its own separate package? If so, you could uninstall it and make a dummy APK having the same package name. This could prevent "updates" due to signing key conflicts, but might also break things...

Ok Google not working on Wear 2.0

I have an issue, Ok Google keyword is activated in the options of wear 2.0 but the keyword does nothing. if i long press the button the assistant come in but the keyword don't work. Is there a workaround? Am i the only one with this issue?

On my watch it works well.

Already activated but no effect, trying factory reset

Ok, just pinpointed the issue, "ok google" works only if the language is set to english, don't work in french...

Problem was here too. I do reset/wipe my watch and now all work. And now battery is better. Yesterday in 12 hours 80%, today after reset in 6 hours 10%

Working now after 3 factory reset and changing language to english and to french thereafter.

Same problem after the OTA : Ok google doesn't work ! long press the button works fine !
After factory reset all works perfectly !

I have the same problem. I also noticed that instead of using assistant on push held it defaults to google search. That's why the keywords aren't working. I have factory reset my watch at least four times and the problem comes back after a couple of days. I am in English US and have switched it back and forth just for kicks. Has anyone had any luck?
edit: I also noticed my Talkback services are buggy and don't provide and example when I tap on the icon under the settings

Did you actually take the time to read my post? I mentioned I have done that several times and the problem keeps coming back.

Hello joeanca
Yes I've taken time to read your post, and I don't understand why a factory reset don't resolve your problem. Because, for myself it resolves it.
Perhaps somebody else could have a new idea to help you

I have the same issue. Factory reset only fixes the issue for a few hours then it happens again (I think once they lose the connection between them (for example because of distance) and reconnect again. Factory reset also enables wi-fi again. The issue is that if the watch is connected only through Bluetooth with wi-fi closed, google assistant and play don't work , if you go in watch settings it says disconnected in Bluetooth but no "cloud" icon pops up at the screen and on phone Bluetooth settings it says connected furthermore the watch works perfectly like receiving notifications changes song track etc. Oh also the silence phone setting from android wear app doesn't work

I just had this problem and resolved it by dumb luck.
I originally synced two Google Accounts to my watch. After updating apps on the watch, OK Google detection hasn't worked.
I found that my default account in Google Assistant on my phone had changed from my primary account. I removed all but my primary account from the watch, and selected my primary account in Google Assistant. OK Google now works again on the watch.

This exactly my problem. The phone says it is connected and the watch works, but the Assistant only says it is offline and cannot understand me. That drives me crazy. I have only one account synced. This Thread is the only thread so far that has my exact problem in it. I know it is a little older, but is there anyone with an idea?
thx and regards

My issue is the Ok Google gets locked into a loop. Whatever the first command I speak to it after Ok Google.. it just loops. Be it What is the time, what day is, send a message, etc. it keeps looping on that command. only seems to affect my Huawei watch 2 classic. phone doesn't have the same issue. have rebooted watch. If i swipe the google assistant away and execute another command, it loops on that one. I have both Facer and Watchmaker watchface apps installed. an issue like this should not have been present in a beta stage so I have to wonder.. what could I have on my watch causing this?
--edit--
Well... it seems Wear 2.0 does NOT like more than one account on a watch. I had three accounts hooked to the watch. My phone's private account. My professional email account, and a purchases account. 3 accounts. Seems that just wasn't how it wanted to work things. As soon as I cut out the pro and purch accounts it starts acting right. I have one account that my android devices get to access for uniformity of data but nothing else gets to use it. I have several emails for various purposes.
So if you have more than one account, as others have found.. remove them down to a single account. Things will probably start working right.

And its back to looping. basically.. if I say Ok Google, then wait for the ready prompt and give it a command "Set an alarm" it will process that command, ask when I want the alarm for, but feed itself the "Set an Alarm" command, ask when, feed command back to itself, ask when... on and on.

Had the same problem. Deleting cache and data of Google app on the watch worked for me. OK google finally works, but I cannot send WhatsApp messages via ok Google, what worked a few days ago with manually starting google by press and hold the upper button.
With Google even talking back works now

i solved the ok googlo hotword problem by deleting chache and data of google app on my huawei watch 2 and it started working again

Google Feed/At A Glance widget not working

I noticed today that my Google Feed isn't updating. If I swipe left on my home screen I see my feed with cards but they are the same ones that been there for a long time. If I pull down to update I get a "Can't reach your feed at the moment" message and no cards show. If I lock the phone and unlock it I get the old out of date cards back but still nothing new.
I have also noticed that the weather isn't showing in the "At A Glance" widget on the home screen.
Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas on how to fix? I have restarted and cleared the cache of the Google app and neither have worked. The only other thing I can think of is going to Apps > Google > Storage > Manage Space > Clear All Data but clears search data, search history and feed settings which are used to populate the feed with relevant data. It would have to be set up again(sports teams, stocks, etc) and have rebuild search data which takes time. If that will fix the issue I'll do it but I'd hate to have it not fix the issue and have to start over for no reason.

Same issue here all day on my P2XL and on my wife's Pixel XL.
I found that If I disable the weather updates, my feed starts working again. So it looks like it has to do with the news and weather app. I tried to uninstall/reinstall it, didn't help.

I'm having the same issue. Interestingly though, if you uninstall the updates for the Google app, it works just fine.

Same issue with me too. Tried everything yet ain't working. Running 8.1 in pixel 2 xl

Seems like it's something related to weather updates from within google app, turns out if you disable it from "customize feed" your cards will be back to normal at the loss of weather info on the app and launcher. Glad I'm not alone tho

Yeah glad that I'm not alone too. Let's see what happens.

I was also having this issue but it started working fine 5-10 min ago.
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using XDA Labs

I ran into this exact issue with my regular pixel 2 about 1 hour ago. When i connected to my wifi i got a system notification saying my streaming service stopped for google (was confused what that meant) but after that my feed did not work. Weather was not showing up in the "at a glance" app as well. I tried to uninstall google app updates, deleted all data google app data, removed my google account and then re added it, and did multiple reboots while on mobile data and wifi. All efforts was not successful. I also was getting the error message "we cannot reach your feed right now" on the google app while the updates were uninstalled.

Having the same issue. Can't reach the feed since yesterday!

Same here, on Pixel 2XL for me and Pixel 2 for two of my friends. Weather doesn't show up in At A Glance widget, disabling it in the feed does nothing to the feed, and the phone doesn't react to "Hey Google", but only "Ok Google" despite retraining the voice model. There's a Reddit thread going on this https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixe...able_right_now_cant_reach_your_feed/?sort=new and I also spoke to Google Support at length, they've escalated this to their engineering team, since they have lots of reports of this today. They are asking everyone to send feedback from the Google Now app/feed with the screenshot -- that way they can determine the scope of who's affected

Uninstalled the updates and restarted... Now it works fine.

Yes, I noticed the same thing. Uninstalled the latest version and went back to the factory version and it works. Although, I did notice all the cards were very old items ( 7+ hours old) but I'm not sure if that's just because there really is nothing recent.

Of everyone who is having this issue how many are in the western United States (New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona)?

Hi all,
I have started experiencing the similar issue from today. Def has something to do with Google App update as in "What's New" section it does refer to changes to feed notification etc.
Things I have tried since I first started noticing the issue:
1. Phone restart.
2. Shut down phone, wait and restart
3. Clear data of Google App along side disabled/enabled app. (Ended up losing Google assistant setup and had to redo it)
4. Uninstalled Google App updates and restarted.
Only thing that has worked is that I have selected weather from feed settings and feed is back.
I have also sent feedback to Google with screenshots.
Cheers.

Let's see how'll Google solve this.

Same here. Moto x play

Oops...they did it again...Google has mastered the art of breaking what's working very well! They keep updating apps that only break many other dependent apps...I'm on the Pixel XL and it's feed seem to work when I remove the weather feed from it...looks like google messed up the weather service...

Back in business...

Is it fixed yet or still onn with the bug

9:45 PST and it's still not fixed. I believe there is a wide spread problem with Google and also PlayStation Network.
PSN has been wonky since Friday and Google in my area has been wonky since Saturday.
