To deactivate Google Now:

1. Start Google Now by sliding upwards from the bottom of the display and releasing your finger above the Google icon.

2. Tap the menu button in Google Now.

3. Select Settings.

4. Tap the ON/OFF switch in the top right corner of the settings. OFF should now be highlighted.

Please note that this will not deactivate the above mentioned sliding feature in a home screen.

When Google Now is deactivated sliding upwards from the bottom of the display and releasing the finger above the Google icon will open Google Search. It is not possible to deactivate this feature completely.
