Anyone else experiencing issues when downloading apps? I sometimes get network issues and other times I can't download marketplace apps. It says downloading, downloading... But doesn't download until I cancel it or restart the phone.

I had the same problem but now sorted. Type in google the problem and you will get an answer. I think you have to clear google talk or google mail storage in applications, then manage applications all in settings. Hope this helps.

It's rooted with 023, using instructing from this site.

I have the same problem can't download in market after i used titanium app to uninstall some google stuff from my phone. Rooted last night btw thanks everyone for their help.

You have to reinstall gtalkservice.apk and Talk.apk. Follow this thread for instruction

Really, but how does gtalk & talk relate to marketplace downloading/networking issues? Just wondering.

All of the Google related software is integrated into your account which in turn is how you purchase/use the market.
As for your issue, have you made sure your APN settings are correct since rooting your device? Make sure you've done that. As well, check the original root thread for a market fix in case that's your issue as well.
Edit: I just saw you're using Rogers. Make sure you use the x10a fix for the market. Also note that when I applied the fix, it took over 24 hours and clearing the cache several times before it started working properly. I really strongly recommend you check your APN as well though. Rooting/debranding the x10a from the Rogers network clears out the APN settings and most have had to put them in manually.

I don't know....I just know that I couldn't download anymore from the market and the reinstall of those 2 .apk fixed the issue.
weird...

I faced it once long back .. but after that I rooted my phone for almost 3 or 4 times changing the firmwares and then the problem just disappeared.

Yea, APN setting entered correctly. I might just remove them and enter them again through. Thx for all the suggestions folks.

I since narrowed it down to my wifi connection, because it never seems to happen while on 3G. Could be something to do with my router settings. I'll try a static IP again, but I don't think that will help much.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Everything is working fine on my note 3 except FC on hangout/sms when sending mms and ok google active listening prompt as it FCes too. There is a temporary fix to that by switching back n forth languages . Soon as you open anything in your phone and go back it will FC again.

I don't have root access to my Note 3. I followed the instructions to download all the necessary files, installed them in the proper order, and did the language switch trick, but I'm getting force closes whenever I swipe to the left and click on any card.

^^^exactly .I dont want to root my phone . Doing the language switch is just a temporary solution and will go back to force close when do anything after on your phone .

no idea how i did this..
Okay so I'm not totally new to android. Tbh I do a lot more modding on I phones. But way more than your average jailbreaker.
I've had a rooted gs1 gs3 and now I've turned in my iphone5 for the Note 3. Great decision.
So I have my rooted note 3 on at&t.
I then somehow got xposed framework to work with the new Google launcher. (Okay Google hotword and Google now to the left working fully ) also installed the Google keyboard after with no problems.
The weird thing to me is I read all the instructions on how to install the new Google launcher experience, and followed the instructions.
But when I went to install all the apps but the Google launcher file (last file you install) they failed to install. So then once installing the launcher I rebooted. Then went into the xposed framework and turned on and off the module and rebooted again. Then I set all my settings, rebooted again. And the FINAL product is
The new Custom Themed Google experience.
Here are some pics.

I have the LG G2 Verizon variant and knock knock works. No bugs here. Can you elaborate? Everything with the exception of selecting "Wallpapers" when you long press on the home screen works. Just to clarify, when you long press, you are presented with Wallpapers, Widgets, and Settings (the Google Now settings).

So besides the swipe to the right for google now and always on "hey google", are there any differences or things you like better than the LG Launcher, because that is great for me.

So...is there a way to make it wake up by saying Google Now when it's in standby? I disabled S Voice but never really used it in the first place since I only recently got the S4.

OK Google not launching Google now

Anyone else having a problem getting OK Google to launch gone now? It worked fine when I first bought the phone then stopped after a couple days. Then I rooted the phone and it started working again but then stopped after a couple days. I'm running stock rooted. I even cleared the data on the search app and it still didn't work.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

It only works on US English but as the OP said, it did work before and he hasn't changed language so we can assume he is using US English.
It's an issue that I've seen crop up around XDA and Reddit and one I've had myself, so don't worry too much because I assume it'll be fixed in later builds. All that works for me is a reboot, then Google Now will detect 'OK Google' again. Try that.

"Ok Google" may disappear but feature is working
that's what is happening with me. I wiped the Launcher data twice to get back the "Ok Google" on the search bar
but it disappeared again and When I say okay google it works

A reboot definitely doesn't help. The only other time it came back was when I unlocked the bootloader and it wiped the device.

If the microphone on the "Google" search bar of the home screen is filled in, it is listening. If it is hollow (an outline of a microphone) then it's not listening.
Reasons it may not be listening:
A. An app has requested audio access (games, music, videos, camera, even if they're in the background). This is especially common with games that insist on running even when no longer visible. Swipe away the app(s) and the microphone will activate itself again.
B. Not set to US English.
C. Google Now isn't configured.
D. Hotword in Google Search settings is turned off.
Any of those reasons are common and considered normal functionality. If you can eliminate all of them then you're looking at something more in depth like ROM issues, broken hardware, etc.

The microphone is hollow.
A. It isn't a game or app because it doesn't fix with a reboot.
B it is set to us English
C gone now is configured
D hotword is turned on
I haven't changed any of the settings but I have double checked that the settings are correct. I read on Android police that other people are having problems with now but none of the problems are the same as mine.

AT&T Visual Voicemail for G3 ROMs. (also works on stock AT&T)

I found this while browsing the G3 forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/att-visual-voicemail-t2815991
I found that the play store AT&T Visual voicemail wouldn't work for me on G3 ROMs, while this one does. Just use the APK only and not the ODEX. Push it to SYSTEM\APP and set permissions to 644 and reboot.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk

This also works on stock AT&T D80020Y. Does not require root, just install like a normal apk. I like this version better than the one on the play store. The icon also show the number of messages with a bubble.

has this been confirmed to be working on cloudy G3 V2??? unable to play the audio.

I left myself a test message, and I see the text transcript but the app has to be fc after freezing. Upon relaunch, pressing play yields no sound. I see the speaker icon within the app has a line through it so as to indicate that sound is muted; my sound is on and unmuted.
Edit.. I pressed that speaker icon, but no sound was played.

Are you on Cloudy G3 2.0? Seems like a no go on that ROM. I had no problem up to 1.2, and no problem on stock. I think Cloudy's 2.0 is based on the G3 mini, since the hardware is closer to our G2, but seems to have broken the visual vmail app.

Yeah, I'm on Cloudy G3 v2.0. Damn, what a shame. At least, the text transcription works, so I will continue to use that.
