| Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | rob401k | 12/08/01 6:12 | So I received my Nexus 7 on Monday and have consistently been having issues with Google Now. Basically, I cannot click on any of the search results. After rebooting the device, I can click the results and open in Chrome, maybe 3-4 times. After that 4 |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | Epic Revolt | 12/08/02 15:41 | I too am experiencing this problem. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | rob401k | 12/08/03 12:40 | Contacted support today and should be hearing back from a tier 2 rep soon. I'll keep you posted. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | luskwater | 12/08/04 8:19 | Good to hear someone else has this, too. I've experienced it on and off since Jelly Bean rolled out to my XOOM wi-fi. I, too, have done two factory resets (really unwelcome after using this tablet heavily for over a year), thinking it was an installa |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | rob401k | 12/08/04 8:36 | I created a new Google account and Now works flawlessly with that one. Which sucks because I know its not the device; it's my account. Fyi you can change the search account in Now's settings, but you have to have added an account to the device. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | AUnitedMethod | 12/08/04 18:40 | I'm having this problem as well. However, I can't duplicate it on my Nexus S, just my N7. So I think it's the hardware, not the account. I could be wrong. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | rob401k | 12/08/04 19:11 | I have been able to duplicate on Galaxy Tab running Jelly Bean. But never have an issue with using my secondary Google account. Still haven't heard back from Google Support. Even deleted all Chrome data and web history. Now those are fine forever and |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | wlgx | 12/08/05 19:48 | I'm having the same problem as well. Frustrating |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | rob401k | 12/08/06 8:02 | I disabled the Weather card and have not had any problems for about 12 hours. Previously I could recreate my problems within 30 minutes, so this is a good sign. I don't know if this will be a permanent fix but you should all try it and see if it work |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | Eth@n | 12/08/06 12:54 | Hi folks, Keep in mind that only the links in blue are actionable. The rest of the text (snippets, URL) currently isn't a touch target. Also, it takes a rather light touch to 'click' through to the site. If you touch and hold too long, or if you touc |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | kareemwilliams | 12/08/07 17:47 | My main Google account is an Apps account and I've been having this issue since I received my Nexus 7.

| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | rob401k | 12/08/07 17:53 | Yeah the weather card trick stopped working for me after a day. I'm concerned its some kind of issue with my main Google account. I am waiting to hear back from Google Support about a bugreport I recently sent them. Hopefully not all hope is lost. Wo |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | AUnitedMethod | 12/08/07 17:53 | I'm using a Google apps account as well. Haven't tried to rectify the issue by swapping accounts yet. Not sure I'd like to. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | kareemwilliams | 12/08/07 18:03 | I only swapped for roughly 5 minutes. I removed my non-Google Apps account from the device and logged back in with my main account (Apps). I rebooted to make sure the fix held. So far, it's holding up. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | AUnitedMethod | 12/08/07 18:35 | Wait, so you removed your Google account and it worked? But the previous guy removed his Google apps account and it worked? Y'all make it sound like the problem is multiple accounts, not whether it is a Google apps or regular Google account. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | rob401k | 12/08/07 18:39 | O do not have a Google apps account. I have two normal gmail accounts. My main account does not work. I left that account intact and added a second account in the settings menu. I disabled sync for that accoutrements as I do not use it regularly. The |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | kareemwilliams | 12/08/07 19:34 | What I did was a bit different. At no point did I have both accounts logged in. - I went into the Android Settings. - Removed my Google Apps account from the device - Added my regular Google account - Opened Google Now and verified it worked. (I spe |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | geewiz2k1 | 12/08/07 20:37 | I'm having the same issues and I only have one Google account. No multiple accounts here. So I doubt that is the problem. I only have Jelly Bean on my Nexus 7. My Galaxy Nexus(Verizon) has not been updated yet and my Transformer Prime is still on ICS |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | rob401k | 12/08/08 7:20 | Not saying multiple accounts is the problem, geewiz2k1; saying adding a 2nd account is the solution. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | ejtsang | 12/08/09 12:20 | I am having the same problem on my Nexus 7. Search results using Google Now do not open when I touch the blue links. Rebooting my device doesn't seem to help even temporarily. I did find a workaround on another forum that has so far worked for me: 1) |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | AUnitedMethod | 12/08/09 12:50 | Attempted your fix but sadly it didn't work for me. I did however add my standard google account (not my "primary" google apps account) and it allows me to open the blue links. I then swapped back to my Google apps account and it wouldn't work. Sooo |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | kareemwilliams | 12/08/09 12:54 | Well it's one day later after my fix and it's still working for me. This definitely has to be a Google account issue. My roommate also has a Nexus 7 and has never had a problem. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | ejtsang | 12/08/09 13:03 | I don't think it's only a google apps account problem since I do not have one. This problem is happening on my primary personal google account. I'm guessing it has to do with the way some of us have set up our google accounts to handle searches/sear |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | ejtsang | 12/08/09 13:27 | Clearing on-device search history also seemed to help. After I selected that, I re-checked "Show recent searches" and now my search results are clickable again. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | AUnitedMethod | 12/08/09 14:02 | Rebooting the device helps. (blah, sloppy testing on my part). After unchecking "Show recent results" and rebooting I can consistently make the search results work. Tried different variations of settings centered around the "Show recent searches" b |

| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | btilford | 12/08/10 20:18 | Switching to a non apps account seems to have fixed it for me too. Really odd that an account would prevent clicks though. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | luskwater | 12/08/10 20:45 | Makes me wonder just how much information is encoded in the links, and whether the links were too long to pass between apps, or the like. Perhaps it fixes things because a local cache gets cleared... Hmmm |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | lamadrona | 12/08/12 13:32 | This fixed it for me. Open Google now. Menu-Settings-Privacy and Accounts Uncheck Show Recent Searches. This works even with dolphin browser installed. Fix was posted in xda developers forum. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | rob401k | 12/08/13 7:20 | Thanks. @lamadrona. That solution worked for me all day yesterday. Hopefully it keeps up. I wonder why that is happening. When I first had the issues, I went so far as to delete all browsing history and it still wouldn't work. Any idea where on XDA y |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | Eth@n | 12/08/17 10:46 | Hi everyone, Good news - we tracked down the bug. While we're working on a fix, you can work around this issue by flipping a setting in your main Google Search settings. The setting that needs to be changed is the "Open search results in a new browse |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | ObsidionStorm | 12/08/19 21:21 | Glad it worked for you, but i tried the same thing and am still having issues. Horrible issue to have. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | luskwater | 12/08/20 3:48 | The workaround is elsewhere in this stream: uncheck "Open search results in a new browser Window." |

| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | McFarkle | 12/08/28 19:25 | This does not fix the problem on th Transformer Pad300. The result is that voice search on the device is unusable. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | rob401k | 12/08/28 19:39 | So links work but voice doesn't after unchecking the box? Sounds like a wholly different bug. |
| Re: Google Now not working - Cannot click on search results | Eth@n | 12/09/12 9:29 | Hi all, Just wanted to close this one out. We've fixed the issue and you should now be able to open web search result links in Google Now regardless of the setting you have for "Open search results in a new browser window."
