You can use Google Assistant to toggle on and off your Wi-Fi Bluetooth and other settings.
Post here for your own tips and tricks on using it
Already posted elsewhere, but if you say good morning, it will tell you the weather, your agenda for the day, and play news and sports podcasts, that you can customize. Also works with good evening, good afternoon, etc

I've updated my Nexus to JB and all is well. I've never really used the music app, but in preparation for my Nexus 7 arriving, I've done the "hack" to allow Google Music access from the UK - it's currently uploading my music as I type.
On my device though, I can't see it. The help says I should be prompted for which account to use, but this doesn't seem to happen. I've also checked under "Accounts and Sync" for my google account, and all looks happy (except no option for music is even listed).
Can anyone advise what I need to do to get it working?
Actually, I managed to use the hack too, but still have the same problem. I think you answered to yourself. It's a hack..so it's suppose maybe not to be fully operational.
I've been using Google Music in the UK more or less since it lauched & it works perfectly fine for me.
Under settings in the Music App does it list a Google Play Account? (Should be at the very top)
I'm using Google Music for a few month now as well and had a similar problem.
Try clearing the cache of the Music App. At least that solved the problem for me that a few albums where not showing on my phone.
download Titanium backup. go to your apps defrost Google music
Thanks everyone, I did a "clear data" and it's showing stuff now
I have a problem about 2-3 days now. The Google Serch (Voice) shows only web results and it cannot call phones or show the fancy results. Some examples:
1. Call Brother - Search in the web for "call brother" and not calling brother from my phonebook :silly:
2. Whats the Weather in Athens - Search in the web "Whats the Weather in Athens" and not showing the weather
I have clearing data, uninstalling the app and re-installing but nothing happend. :crying:
(Trinity-Vengeance ROM 4.0)
This is an issue most people are facing right now. I believe Google will release a fix for this soon (that's what I heard) it has something to do with the mandatory enabling of location settings for voice. I'm sure they'll figure it out soon, till then there's not much of a solution. You can try running your networks using a VPN, should work logically but not sure how it will stand practically

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.
Hey all
When I did a search for this topic, it seems alot of people are having this issue.. So I guess if Google cant track us using Google Maps (Remember that always on), theyre now using Google play itself...
Im using an Unbranded HTC One M8 LolliPop 501 (v4.16.401.10), unrooted...
Googe play is consuming 50% of my battery usage.. I have "Location Services" set to "Battery Saving" Mode and "Location History" OFF. Ive disabled/uninstalled apps I dont use.. Twitter, FaceBook, Foursquare, Google Play Music, Google Games, Kids Mode... Ive also noticed that one of the google updates is "Android System Web View". I have read around the web and the GP store itself.. that this webview is causing mixed issues, so... Do I need this installed if I dont use Chrome.. I use FireFox (Both on phone and on home pc with chrome plugin).
Can anyone advice me of ways around this battery drain with the Goggle Play Services
Cheers

You can, at a start, disable all location services and the GPS receiver. That will help enormously. Of course, you won't be able to use things like mapping services, but you can always re-enable the GPS if you need those. This doesn't require root, and has a noticeable benefit.
If you are willing to root, though, you can use a program like App Ops to disable wakelocks for your top offenders. I disabled wakelocks for Google Play Services on every device I own, and there are no visible issues other than improved battery life. I'm not sure why Google has that service wake the phone up so much, but it's absurd. You can't kill the service entirely, at least not without taking out a lot of Google functionality, but it DOES NOT need wakelocks to operate correctly.

I had the same problem with google services. From my observations, I concluded that google services and facebook's location polling are the culprits. My solution is as follows:
Go into Google Settings -> Security -> and disable all options here.
Also go into Location -> Google Location History -> disable location history.
Also, you can either disable facebook altogether, or at least disable location polling to reduce the battery drain.
Let us know if this helps, so other users can take advantage of it.

Thanks for the tips.. and I was actually coming online to share all my findings anyway Ive done all of what you suggested. I dont use "Life Intruder" (faceBook) on my mobiles anyway.
As well as what you suggested, I also .. Disabled/uninstalled the apps mention in my OP, then after some research Ive found that "Android System Webview" is only for Chrome, so Ive disabled it and changed to FireFox instead, cleared both Chrome and webview Cache in Apps, Rebooted my M8 and its on 80% after 19 hrs.
Another Massive battery drains which I found is keeping GPS Location in Camera turned on all the time. / Auto Sync turned ON and "Location" in Settiings set to High Accuracy. Turn asll these down / Off or Battery Saving Mode. When you install an App that uses Locations, such as Foursquare or HERE maps.. Goto Location and check the App is set to Battery Saving, Not High Accuracy
If your like me and a light to moderate user, who uses their phone mainly for Media ... Boomsound, Camera, BlinkFeed and gaming. Then I dont really need Google Location Services.
Also Turn Off GPS and WiFi when not in range. You can also Turn OFF mobile data, but I find 4G pretty efficient compared to 3G, so I leave it ON.
If you use Google Drive DroipBox or other Ckoud Apps, set them Download your Files over "Wifi Only"
Its just a shame HTC didnt create a Location Icon in the Notifications Panel, but its not too bad.
Hope this helps others
I just got my new Galaxy Watch and it works great except for the weather. It keep saying "add location", it opens a location list on my phone and I added a few.
However my watch still believes there is no location, and I have no weather, neither on the widget not on the watch face... Is there any way to force the watch to synchronize the locations?
Try to remove any added locations and run only the current one. I don't know if this is the solution, but now it works for me, as i had the same problem (more or less)
