Where is "turn on google now"?
here are the screenshots for settings of google now

In fact, there should be another option in the settings above the Voice Search
that setting is Google now.....
Unfortunately, you don't have it
I dunno why

i already search but cannot find any downloadable gapps and instruction.
edit:

anyone with the same problem as mine?

I think it's the same app name as Google search. Will have a look when I get home and post the apk

I have the same exact problem. Hope someone could help.

Maybe you are usung google apps for business?
If so, you have to activate google now in your apps for business administration settings.
Hope that helps,

No im not using google app for business...
The only option im having is the "camera search" after updating google in play store.

Region Dependent maybe?
I'm not sure though but Google Now may be region dependent? I have the same problem with the recent 4.1.2 update here in the Philippines. I will try to install a UK firmware and well see how it goes.

which rom are you using ?

This should be the case in settings. This is on the leaked 4.2.2.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Google now is location dependent thus, it wont work on some network/country/region... just like google wallet. It was working when I was in the US but not here in the Philippines.

Play store...
First suggestion is to wipe data for the app. If that doesn't work try downloading the app from the internet. Maybe even an older version and see if that works.

May be you need to flash another rom? Also you can try to delete you play store and market update, then copy vendik.apk(market) in system/app. Works for me.

Root your phone and install my rom , it has both S voice and google now

I did not understand what you trying to tell. Kindly can you explain.
He basically saying that SVoice is really just for show, to let you get a taster of voice commands and the is another app called 'Jeannie' which is a similar kind of thing.

[Q] Apps won't download when started from playstore website

Hi all,
I have googled, searched and even called Google themselves but I cannot start a download from my desktop browser and have it install on my phone.
Phone does nothing at all, sits there pretending I haven't asked it to do anything.
The app will appear in My Apps in the play store and I can download and install from the device directly.
I've followed the guidelines on Google website, signing out of talk etc but still no luck.
I did manage to make it work by going back to stock, then flashing SuperNexus but within four days it's broken again.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this and how to resolve it?
Try using a different Google account to setup the phone then sign in on the Web

Remove the Google account from the phone, reboot and log in again.
Thanks for the tips but still no joy.
Google refuse to help because I'm rooted!
So when you open play store, it doesn't start automatically?

I sometimes have the same problem. Toggling WiFi or data off then back on seems to do the trick usually.

Nope, sits there doing nothing as if I haven't touched a thing.
The Badger, that somehow managed to sort it! I can't believe such a simple toggle can fix a problem that I've been struggling to sort for a week!
You have my sincerest thanks!!
You're welcome. Glad it helped.

As you said I reflashed gapps.zip and talk app reappeared. Thank god.
Is there any way to install the Google Talk app if you are using a stock, unrooted s3? Seems unsearchable in the Play store, but I swear I've seen it on some Galaxy products. It's nowhere on my buddies s3 and I'm curious as to why not

[Q] Google Now not working

Hey there guys, my google now is not functioning at all. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the updates, changing roms, using a vpn server etc. Nothing I've tried has worked so far and I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions
Did it ever work with this phone? Which ROMs have you tried? Is it installed from Gapps or the Play store?

Are u using a language that is supported by Google Now? As far as i know, they are deutsch, english, espanol, français, italiano, nederlands, portugues, russian and some far east stuff. You can change its language to these ones from settings.
Still isn't working
Hey guys thanks for the responses. I've reflashed gapps and changed roms a couple times and it still doesn't ask me if I want to use google now or show any cards. I'm starting to believe it may be an issue with my location as I'm located in the Caribbean and some Google services don't work here .

'google now is not functioning' doesnt makes sense to me..it would be better if you explain your problem in detail like
what error are you facing!
any force close or some thing!
are you able to open google now atleast for a sec!
which version! (leaked kitkat one or normal one) etc
you see that would make others figure out where problem is and provide Screenshot if possible.
Ok guys first off thanks for being patient. I'm still a bit of a newbie. My problem is that I cannot use Google now at all. I didn't get the option to select if "I'm in" when I first started google search. My search doesn't display any cards or such info and I don't have the option to turn google now off either. I have my language set to English(US). I'm currently using the unofficial CM11 KitKat ROM. It stop working while I was using CrDroid build 22 which is a 4.3 jellybean ROM.

Google search and launcher you are using, are linked with each other. You cannot turn off GSearch and use that launcher together.
Generally cards doesnt show up when you are not signed in with a google account.
Are you logged in through a google account? If yes, can you share a screenshot of what happens when you press mic button and when you type something to search!
Ok so here's what happens when I touch the mic and type what I'm searching for respectively. I also added a screenshot of my location settings.

So the thing is that google now doesn't know where you are, am i right? Which aspect of google now do you want to work? For example; When you set a meeting from google calendar and tell google now: "What is my next meeting?" does it work or not? Can you try that and get back please.
I would really like if the cards would show some info. That isn't happening. I've added screenshots of my general use google search including a scheduled event.

But that is already a working google now... You need to be in US if you want traffic or flight info etc. Your google now is working perfectly..
Ahhh I see. Thanks for the clarification. I figured since it worked before something was wrong with it.
