Turning off App Suggestion - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

Anyone know how to turn off App Suggestion on the Pixel?

Long press and empty spot on the home screen and choose settings...

Thanks. This was starting to drive me crazy every time I swiped up my app drawer.

apex launcher issue

Every time I go to manage apps and add an app to a category, apex seems to restarts itself. I press the home button and go back to homescreen and all the widgets reloads.
There are other occasions where it does this but can only remember this one off the top of my head.
Anyone have any idea?
i've had something similar happen on my Nexus 7 ever since the new update.
random times when i press Home, or press Back to get home, it take me to the screen without any icons/apps or widgets. and after a few seconds they all show up. i can even swipe between screens, and every since one is empty. but then they all show up at once.
What ROM are you using?

Google Now - Swipe Up?

I just upgraded to Jellybean. When trying to swipe up to use Google Now, absolutely nothing happens, no matter which screen I've tried it from. Is there a trick to getting the app to come up by swiping? I can tap on the Google icon on the home screen of course, but I'd like to use the swiping feature if possible...

You don't swipe uo to get Google Now to come up. You press and hold the Menu button while on the home screen. That should do the trick.

Thanks dj!
You can also hold the home key down then click the g button. You can access google now that way no matter what your doing.

How can i add more apps to that CIRCLE?
I only have google now and there is a lot of space for 4 more shortcuts..

Does anyone else have this horribly annoying issue?

If I am in an application and my screen turns off, I hit the home button to wake the screen and then it takes me to the desktop instead of the last app I was in? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Would help you you state which app or all apps. The Home Button function is to go to the Home Screen.
To make the Home Button take you to the last app you were in, press and hold. It will give you a recent apps page.
That also has the task manager and Google options.

I don't think that's what he's refering to. If my screen is off(aka in sleep mode), when I press the home button to wake the screen back up, that's all the home button does with that press. It only wakes the screen up and leaves me where the phone was, when it went to sleep. If I press the home button, when the phone is awake, then yes, it does take me to the home screen.
To the OP,
I tried it with Touch Wiz and Nova Launcher, even using the app "nolocK' to lock/prevent locking of the screen. In all instances, when the screen was off and I hit the home button, it woke the screen up, but left me at in the same place where it went to sleep at.
Thanks so much chuck. Thats exactly what I am referring to. I have nova installed but I am having this problem. I wonder if it is some setting I have enabled.
I just installed no lock and messed with a lot of settings in nova. Same problem where if I wake the screen with the home button it takes me to the desktop and not my most recent app. Argg
i have this problem only when i have the on-screen nav bar. if i disable that it works fine. it's somewhat odd.

use the power button instead. works fine. home button does exactly what it is named for. takes you to your home screen.
Cant wait to try your rom t3! The home button never worked like this in the past. I am used to having home wake my screen and just want it the way it was.
Yeah, If the phone has just shut off and you press the home key it takes me back home, not to the app I was in. In this case I have to press the power button. I dont remember it doing this on the gs3. I remember hitting the home key if my phone shut off to turn it back on and it resumed where i left off.

Home Button Question

When my screen turns off and I press the home button to wake the screen, any applications or notification popups I had disappears as the home button is being too "aggressive" and immediately takes me to the home screen.
Did I miss a setting somewhere to prevent this?
Thanks.
It seems the only way to prevent this is by enabling Swipe Lock. I guess this is why it's enabled by default?
I'm having the same problem no matter what I do when the screen times out and I press home it takeme back to my home screen. ..Have you found a solution yet?

In S-Voice app, bring up settings, make sure option to "Open via the home key" is checked. This will allow the home button to only wake the device when the screen is off. Unfortunately, this also introduces some lag when pressing the home button, as the software is waiting to see if you register a double click.

I hate that lag, that's why I unchecked it and ran into this Home Button problem.
The lag is pretty bad, like 2-3 seconds. Not practical.

can't ho to app screen

Anyone having problems not going to app select screen. Happened couple times to me now sense last update.i have you reset the watch each time.
If you mean you can't go to the app selector screen by pressing the lower button, just reboot the watch, or open it through the most used apps widget, which has a blue button in the middle.
Yeah. I was just curious if anyone else was having that problem. I'm trying to trouble shoot. If it's a watch face I'm using or something else. Thanks for the responce
You're welcome
