Question

I just bought a new samsung galaxy note 4, I want to to use the google now card, but when I sign in with my account to opt-in to use it, I get a message said: "This account is not eligible for google now". Can you tell me what's wrong with my account? and how can I fix it?

Answer 1

I got solution for this from here

1) log into Google Apps dashboard (https://admin.google.com) as admin;

2) once logged in, at the bottom of the page you should see 'More controls', by clicking it choose 'Other Google services';

3) once in other Google services click on the top right 'Filter' icon and uncheck 'Show top featured services';

4) find service called 'Location history' and enable it (I did for all users);

Now, part on the website is done; go back to your phone and do: Note! it may take a couple of minutes for the changes from website to be visible on your phone (on my was rather instant);

1) Settings > Accounts (Google) > Location > Google Location Reporting and enable both options;

2) Go to Google Settings (accessible from All apps) and then to Search & Now and then to Accounts and privacy;

3) Click on item called Google Account (first one) and LOG OUT;

4) repeat phone steps 1-3 but now (re)enable account.

Now you should be asked if you wish to use Google Now
