How or what is causing this popup. I want my gps off until I need it. Can anyone offer advice to avoid this popup.
I have the same issue, every time I open the phone app, an annoying "enable location services" pop up appears, I only enable location services when using maps

Whenever I go to google search, it tries to find my location and I see the GPS icon flashing.
I made sure to turn off Location settings in the browser (even toggled it).
...what gives?
if you go into settings, you can disable it
i recall i selected the option to NOT use GPS to get mylocation
and selected instead use phone network to determine my location
My problem:
Whenever I use "Ok Google" or Moto's version of the same I get this pop-up saying
"To improve contact recognition, Google needs to use your device contacts."
when you press continue i get the error...
"Network error. Check your network connections and try again."
This happens no matter who i try to call or text. It even happens when I speak the entire phone number, and not just a name.
So, some background
I just got a Moto X 2nd gen. It immediately started updating to Lollipop (which was cool) so i don't know if this was an issue before.
I am on verizon.
I am using a stock ROM.
I have tried this on both mobile data and wifi.
I have immediatly after tried connecting to google play, gmail, random internet and they all work.
Other voice searches work. I can get "Ok Google" to navigate, open web pages, get weather, ect...

Reset Cache on Google Contact Sync app
Reset Cache on Google Now Launcher app
Reset Cache on Google Launcher Config app
Reset Cache on Google App
I have already reset phone once.
Update.
When I reset and don't tie into google account it works. Once I tie into a Google account to get contacts, it stops working. I think it is tied to the "google app" app. Turns out you can not roll the "google app" back to factory setting. Clearing its cache dose not work.
I had a similar issue with Google Now when I got the new Moto.
Apps > google settings ? search & now > now cards > delete card preferences
that took care of the that same error message for me.
You are the smartest man ever. Didn't occur to me that it would be the cards. Fixed.

Hi guys,
I'm trying to set up Google voice typing. I want to enable the "Say OK Google any time" option.
Every time I want to enable this option, on the set up menu, it says that there is trouble with the microphone (see the screenshots).
Any ideas why is this happening?
solved by installing the beta version of google apps and google play services
I've noticed that at least two apps will mysteriously stop working in the background, causing problems:
First, most important, I use my Google Voice number, not my SIM number, so I need Google Voice to be running so that it intercepts my calls and uses the right phone number to make calls. If I open Google Voice, it will work for a few hours, maybe a day, and then GV stops working and calls start going out through my SIM number.
The other app that exhibits this behavior is Garmin Connect -- my watch gives me notifications, but then, for no reason, it will stop working. Opening Garmin Connect solves the problem.
I have ensured all permissions are set as liberally as possible, even the "allow autostart" option. Not sure what else to do. Any ideas would be great. I did not have this problem with my Mi 8.
Thanks!
I think I had a similar problem with the Runtastic app that I use for running: After around one minute of screen off time it would stop getting GPS data.
I fixed it by adding it to the list of apps that is allowed to run in the background. You can find this setting in the power and battery settings ("Akku & Leistung" in German).
I think you are talking about the Battery Saver > Choose apps ("Saving power in the background") list. In that list, you can set background settings for each app. I had both of these apps already set to the most liberal setting, "No restrictions (Battery saver doesn't restrict app's activity)". I changed them both to the second setting, "Battery saver (recommended)", which seems to be an automated, smart method the phone uses.
I also decided to try turning off the Use Adaptive Battery setting ("Limit battery for apps that you don't use often"). Maybe this is the culprit.
Any luck there yet? My vivo active hr does not even show live notifications....
Hello,
I have a OnePlus 10 pro running OOS 12. I use Google's "Messages for web" in my browser and that requires that the Messages app run in the background on my phone. I've configured it to do so and I'm happily using the web messages browser functionality, but I keep getting the annoying "Messages is draining battery" notification on my phone. I've configured it in "Battery optimization" to "not optimize" but I continue to get these annoying messages.
Has anyone figured out how to disable these messages? I've looked around and there appear to be a lot of folks asking this question, perhaps for other apps, but there don't appear to be any answers.
Thanks for any help.
