[Q] voice search problem - HTC Sensation

hello there ppl,
i have a problem on my sensation (stock rom, nothing installed) with its voice search software. i giggled this forum but found nothing. im sorry if there is another thread about this matter.
when i activate voice search (intentionally or accidentally), if it fails to do its job ( i may speak in a low voice, or device/os malfunction whatever) , it turns off every sound of the device. phone gets muted (alarms, ringtones, notification sounds , everything).
when u go back to sounds menu, user interface shows it like sounds are playing, volume is up but you hear simply nothing. only reboot resolves the problem.
is there anyone who experience the same? what you suggest?
thanks and sorry for my engrish.

If it happens again call your voicemail. It's easier than a reboot

[HELP] Buzzing sound after using keytone during call

Im using the [Oct 05] Polaris Kitchen v1.4 Multilang - WM6.1 (Build 19965.1.2.3) ROM for a while now.
having notice anything until now.
ROM Version is 3.13.405.0 WWE
Radio 1.58.21.23
The problem is that when I call numbers that has touch tone option, like press 1 for something, 2 for another...
the speaker emits a very annoying buzzing sound or noise. And I cant hear the other side.
It keeps on going until I soft reset the phone.
otherwise making normal call seems to be ok.
so basically I cant use voicemail, which is kind of a big problem.
I tried to look for answers but found nothing, sorry in advance if there is already a post for it.
Theros
Well, i really don't know why is it happening, but if it is indeed the DTMF tones playback on the earphone that causes it, you may try to simply disable it. It's in the phone options, under sounds, select "off" under keypad. It will still send out those tones, just won't play them on the earphone. I alway had this option on "off" simply because i don't like hearing the DTMF tones while dialing.
thank you,
problem fixed
can believe its so simple
but its definitely a glitch for this rom

Txt message Notification breaks sound!!

Has anyone else experienced this? when I have my phone hooked up to my car stereo aux jack to listen to music.. I get a text and then no sound, until I receive another text!! its like to txt notification is muting the music and then not un-mutting after the notification is complete. this was happening on stock un-rooted phone and on all other roms too!!! its the reason why i rooted it.. and im still stuck with this problem, I have to send texts to myself to get the sound working again.
oh and how in the heck do you keep it from announcing the person that is messaging you? it is quite annoying, i just want a simple notification.. not a name or a number being called out for every one to hear.
well I take it im the only one with this problem???!!
cant say...i play music all the time in my car and once notif is done the music comes back on. are you using stock music player, stock sms and stock notifier?
i changed to handcent to see if that would help and yes I have changed player and neither of those help.. how do you keep it from reading peoples name outloud when a text comes in without putting the phone on silent?
It's never happened to my on stock or on a rom.
Here's Help

To answer your question, I have the same problem too. Never tried sending myself a text to get it working. I just boot into recovery and then clear cache and reboot.
As for the phone telling you who's texting you here's your fix to that.
1. Go to Settings
2. Go into Voice input and output
3. Go into text-to-speech settings
4. Check to see if Driving mode is checked.
If it is this is what makes your phone talk to you.
5. Go into Driving mode settings
6. Now uncheck what you don't want your phone to say out loud.

[q] volume mute bug

HI,
MY LG G2X has developed a new bug and not sure how to fix it. The volume goes mute often meaning, i am missing calls. not able to listen to ring tone. For example if someone is calling, if I hold on to my mobile, I can see the call on screen but without ring volume. Only after force restart the volume comes back but this happens many times in a day. I am missing calls often because of this bug. Someone having similar bug? any fix for this issue?
I have tried factory reset, but still not able to fix the bug. Any suggestion, appreciated..
Is it just ringing that gets muted or all audio?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Need more info. What ROM, baseband, kernel etc.
Edit: something very silly used to happen to me sometimes when the ringer would turn low or even off when phone was in my pocket because the vol- was being pressed accidentally... am sure yours isn't that but figured it won't hurt to mention.

[Q] google speech volume low... sometimes.

Now that google language has updated to allow the 'ok google' feature in the search bar on UK language settings, i figured i'd give it a whirl... However if i ask a question such as 'whats the weather like' the responding voice is incredibly quiet, but if i ask to send a message then the voice is fine? (im guessing the loud predetermined phrases for messages etc.. are already on the phone and quiet ones are coming over the web from googles servers?)
Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the quiet voice responses without increasing overall system volume as everything else is already loud enough?
Also could someone else test this just to make sure its not just my phone :good:
After searching around it seems im not the only one with this issue, however im still at a loss for a fix, if anyone finds a solution then please let me know :fingers-crossed:
(yeah this was a shameful self-bump, this sub forum flows quickly)

Pixel 2 XL Issues Dialer extremely slow & Deafening notification beeps during calls

Pixel 2 XL Issues Dialer extremely slow & Deafening notification beeps during calls
Hi all,
I had a quick search on the forums but couldn't find anything related to this. I'm unsure if it's a problem with just the Pixel 2 XL or Android. I've installed all OTA updates and the phone is running 8.1.0. It had both of these errors prior to updating. I have also replaced the entire handset and tested again. Still occurring. I have a Pixel 2 also, which does NOT experience these issues. I'm also running stock, no root/roms. *edit* I went through Google support for both issues, they couldn't find any solutions. They suggested a factory reset and then replaced the handset.
The dialer:
Intermittent problem. Basically when you open the dialer or a contact and initiate a call, the app often freezes for an indeterminate amount of time. It could be 10 seconds it could be over a minute. Eventually it will move to the "call" screen and then freezes/lags again. Once more this can be any length of time up to a minute or more. All other apps work perfectly fine during this process. Eventually the call initiates and you can hear it ring, once in call everything behaves normally.
The notifications:
This one is simple. During a call receiving an SMS or other notification results in an electronic beep sound which plays at full volume. It does the same thing after the call ends. I'm not sure if it's using call or external speakers as the volume is so damn loud it doesn't matter. It legitimately causes me to throw the phone away from my ear and I cannot hear anything besides buzzing for 20 minutes. It actually hurts.
Nothing I do has stopped this except to turn on DND before I make or receive a call, which is useless. I read a few other threads about this being a new feature in 8.1.0 and "intentional". However I think those are referring to the call end beep, or notifications during a call that make the designated notification sound, not a deafening beep. The threads I read suggested removing third party apps and phone permissions, I used a brand new handset and the beeps still happened.
Please does anyone have a suggestion? I'll try anything at this point.

If you don't have issues with the Pixel 2 and do have issues with the Pixel 2XL, why don't you ask in the Pixel 2XL forum?

Hey, did you get any answers on this,. I'm having the same frustrating issue.
I just started to have this problem a few days out of nowhere. Some on Reddit are having issues too.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/80qh32/pixel_2_xl_dialer_problems/
I found that plugging the phone into charge or computer fixes the issues for a little bit...
Had similar issues with my Verizon Pixel 2. After some searching, I restarted the phone in safe mode and the problem went away, meaning it's a non-stock app interfering with the phone app. I restarted in 'normal' mode, uninstalled Facebook (it's always f'ing Facebook), and have had zero issues since.
