Ive tried looking on the forums and on google.com i have found a lot of stuff stating the same problems but no fixes. So if someone could either explain to me the problem or a solution that would be awesome.
FOr some reason on the Note 2 and S3 i think for that matter Google now wont work 100%
1. if you press menu the menu pops up for a sec and then disappears. only way around this is if you press in the search bar as if you were going to type then you can press menu.
2. I no longer have the little picture at the top that shows either the sun (if its day light) or the moon (if its night) its just the search bar with all my recent searches under it which is super annoying. If i use the fix above to get to the settings and turn google now off and then on i get my little picture back until i leave Google now. then its gone again.
Like I said in the other thread. I was able to uninstall the updates for Google Search and all is well for me.

Before updating google now, go into google now settings/voice/hotword detection and turn it off. Menu button will work fine after the upgrade. Some issue with hotword detection and Note 2.
hi
when open any app with various screens, (settings [apps->all->home], facebook [group->user->photo->messages], etc) and then press back button repeatedly at the end in the home screen open a app randomly
anyone occurs something like this?
14.4.A.0.108 root
sorry for my bad english
It happens to me too. From my observations it allways openes an app from the apps that I have recently openned ,but I may be wrong.
This is an Android bug which can be fixed with an Xposed module, since you're rooted you can simply install it via Xposed Installer.
http://repo.xposed.info/module/kz.virtex.android.issue63793fix
PS: the proper way to "close" an app is by using the home button btw.
I'm going to assume no since nobody has responded but maybe we should look into this, would be nice to have a way to use it another app launch or camera or something, even mute/unmute or something might be nice.
I'm sure there is a way to do this in Tasker. It will interrupt the assistant "call", and replace it with any other "call". The fun part is going to be finding a script for it.
The problem is it calls a specific app, I found an app on xda for remapping the assistant button but what it does is change itself to the default assistant, then automatically does whatever you set it to do instead of launching itself when you call the default assistant. However Samsung and LG in their infinite wisdom specifically call the default "google" app with the hardware button so all doing this does is disable that button. If you long press home it does open whatever app you tell it to instead of the google assistant but not if you push the hardware button. DUMB
If I remember correctly, Tasker can interrupt any call...

Actually on Samsung devices, it's easy to remap the Bixby button in order to do whatever you want.
Some useful apps are available to give you plenty of choice even though Samsung recently added the option to remap it for some specific tasks (I think it's open the camera app, Google Assistant in stead of Bixby or simply deactivate the button).
On my Galaxy S8 I had before and on the Note 8 of a friend of mine, we were able to set the button as changing the sound status from sound/vibrate/Nothing, make a specific action when double pressed or long pressed. All that without any Bixby ugly stuff or annoying Google Assistant actions.
I never tried on LG smartphones even if there is an option to deactivate the button in the settings.

What useful apps are/were you using?

On Samsung, it was BxActions (with adb permission).
On LG, I'm currently fine with the native options (Settings > Extensions > Shortcuts).

Yah I was trying to remap assistant key. But the shortcuts only allow you to turn it on or off.
Apparently, by rooting the phone (it was possible on the V40 and G7 as far as I noticed and someone somehow managed to do it on the V50), you can use "Automate" and kill the Google Assistant app as soon as it's launched (just the part launched by the button) and launch something else in stead.
As LG phones aren't mine (the ownership is LG, I just receive them until the next one arrive), my contract doesn't allow me to root or flash the main device without any authorization explicitly given by them.
Some research here on XDA gave the info in a matter of time: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g7-thinq/how-to/project-remap-google-assistant-key-t3934930
Hi guys,
There is 10-15 mins delay or no notification at all from some third party apps until I press the power button to turn on the screen - not unlock, just turn on.
It mostly happens to Gmail and the Reolink App for my security cameras.
After I turn on the screen I can receive real time message from these two apps for a while but soon goes back to how it was before.
Things I have done but doesn't help:
1. Enabled “Stay connected when device sleeps” in battery setting.
2. Set apps to "Manage Manually" in App Launch
3. Enabled all notification for Apps.
4. Set "Don't Optimise" for Apps in Battery optimisation
I even followed the instruction below provided by @klaus27 to disable PowerGenie but it is still behaving in this way.

I really dont have any idea now can any one please help me out? Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Had my galaxy 5 for about a week. LTE version US. Finally set up to mostly work. Question about contacts.
When using default Samsung phone app, there are two icons on the top of the screen: left is green dial and right is orange contact shortcut. The contact shortcut works after some reboots but after another reboot it does not. Pressing the button does nothing, like it does not exist. I downloaded a separate contact app to match my phone, which works fine from the app drawer. However, shortcut from the phone app does nothing. All permissions are allowed for both phone app and contact app.
What am I doing wrong? Why does it work sometimes, but not always. The only way to fix is another factory reset. Any thoughts?
Thanks
