Android’s Google Now can be used without Internet

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

We know how useful it is to have digital assistants like Google Now and Siri to help us remember deadlines and research things for us. The problem is, they always oblige you to be hooked up to the Internet in order to deliver data – even data that doesn’t really require you to be online just to view. That changes now as an update is arriving granting access to Google Now even when you’re offline.

What’s happening here is Google Now lets you view offline cards that are of course, not updated to the minute but could still help you in simple daily tasks. When you’re out and there’s no Internet available, relevant cards can still help show you things like where you parked your car or what time your next meeting will be. You just need to be selective of what information you’ll be getting when you’re offline. Using it to search the web is still definitely out of the question.

The update is available for Google Search Android app which is now at the Google Play Store. It already started rolling out but availability is still per location and not at the same time.

In addition to the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2 getting Android 4.4 updates, Sprint announces an update for its Google Nexus 5. The build KTU84F, understood to be the Android 4.4.3, should start rolling out between today and April 21 not just for those under the US telecom but for all Nexus 5 owners — yes, Philippines included.

The document only shows two things that the update will bring: a Sprint-exclusive Spark band 26 and band 41 will be enabled and “misc Android updates”. We’re still unsure of what “miscellaneous” comprises of, but previous report on Android 4.4.3 tells us that it will be more on bug fixes rather than incorporating new features.

As mentioned earlier, everyone will soon receive the update as reported by the source. It should be coming as early as today or until next week but one thing’s for sure — it’s definitely coming. Watch this space as we will get back to you as soon as we find out the list of improvements when the update reaches our own Nexus 5.
