[Q] Voice search issues - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

This just started yesterday... I was talking to Iris and sending sms via voice input. Shortly after that, when i click on the google search widget and say something like "current Atlanta weather" or "call wife" it either says something crazy or nothing at all... e.g. when i asked it to call my wife it returned a search for San Quirico... WTF....I flashed an update to my ROM last night, but the issue was going on before that.....
Anyone else having this issue?!

ya i have had that problem and cant fix it. i dont know what causes it but it always gets the wrong words. worked great when i was on icbinb but now on octane doesn't seem to work. my not be the roms fault though. i lkie vlingo seems to work much better then any thing else.

had same issue yesterday. apparently it happened a few times in the past too. server side mix up.
FIX: go to settings > Voice I/O > Voice Recognition > Google Account Dashboard
scroll down and click "Anonymize..." under the speech section
this wipes out your personalized voice recognition optimization but will fix the problem

that did it... maybe i reached my cap on "learned" words? Thanks for the help!

[Q] what happened to my speech recognition?

well i used to be able to say something and my phone would write it out, like ill say Eiffel tower and it would google search it, now i don't have it ever since rooting to the 026, what happened and how do i get it back?
I have this too, ever since I rooted voice recognition isn't working.

Thank you, reinstallingvoice search fixed everything.

[Q] Google Talk issue

Has anyone else who currently uses an Android phone and the Transformer have the issue that when logged into talk on their phone, the transformer does not receive the talk messages?
works fine for me.
Works for me too. I had my desktop/phone/TF all go off at the same time. :O
On a second thought - Chat works, but a voice call only went to the Pad. Which was unfortunate, since I'm (well, the other party, not me) experiencing pretty significant echo.

IT happens if you use one of the devices to talk to someone, that device then takes all the notifications for a while. But if someone messages you out of the blue, it should show up everywhere. This is the case with my phone, desktop, and laptop. The phone and desktop are always on. So I'm at school, I'll get pings from my phone and laptop, I come home, see a bunch of first messages from people. But since I started responding on my other devices, it didn't pick up the rest of the convo.
Wouldn't mind all devices keeping track of everything though.
But the chatting style is quite crappy. All my text stays under and the text of the correspondant stays above. So when I text too faste, the above text disappears. The thread is not mixed which is quite difficult to follow.

I've had the same thing happen to me already. Happened with the first firmware update but ever since I got the newest one, I haven't had too many issues. It is true, if you respond to a message on your Phone, you won't get the message notification on the TF until a unknown amount of inactivity across the board.

I had the same issue. Check if there is any time difference between you and the person you are talking with. In my case I was an hour ahead of my friend and all my messages were stacked in the upper part while all his messages were on the bottom. I changed my time settings an hour early and the conversations are ok now.

It's just called "Talk" and should come preinstalled.
Sent from my CM7 Supersonic
Where is..
ok thanks, it was in the application list but not on the desktop (any of them).
Does video chat work for Google Talk on the Transformer yet? or Are there any video chat application(s) that work for this device?
Yup, works fine for me
Yeah, similar issue here with my gf's tab... sometimes messages are only received on the phone.

[Q] Lollipop: No Voice Search, Ok Goodle, TTS..

Interesting one, and can't figure out why it's happening - so if anyone has any thoughts x)
Flashed L tonight, all went smoothly and generally everything is fine. The only weird thing is that Google Voice search has stopped working. I press the Voice search button, and it just doesn't pick up any sound. I trying saying "ok google", and it doesn't pick that up either. Also, along with that, Text to Speech refuses to work too, tried with different languages and different voice packs.
Any ideas?
I know I had to go into the Google Now settings and activate the "OK Google" from any screen, to get it to work.
I had the same problem when setting another language as the primary language, then switching back to English, but something seemed bugged.
Removing all the other languages and restoring English (US) only, and finally rebooting, resolved the issue. Hope this helps.

Hmm, just gave that a try, no dice Was it just the Voice language or the whole phone that you had to change?
The weird thing is, it's like it's not even connecting to the microphone, just sits there listening and not hearing anything x)
Yes, that was exactly the same behavior i had with mine. I also ended up trying to configure Ok Google from any screen, and the voice training feature didn't hear anything, remaining stuck on the 1st of 3 verifications.
Maybe you can try going to Settings > App > All > Google Search and deleting cache/data to restore it brand new.

Tried that, and reflashing it, factory reset etc. Turns out the problem is slightly wider than just that not working though - It's killed the Microphone completely, can't make voice calls, it's like it's just not picking up the mix exists for some reason :S
It takes time to activate, there is a backend update of google going on while you select your language, but eventually comes back on.
Try voice typing if your believe the mic is not doing any good for "ok google"

just to try it out to rule out whether it's the telephony app or in effect a bug which affects 5.0 as a whole(which i highly doubt, because i have mine working like a charm) Hell mine even works on off-screen while charging.

Ok, voice search nothing, voice typing nothing, Making Phone calls, nothing x) The only thing I haven't managed to try yet is downloading a 3rd party voice recorder app - but unfortunately I'm on GSM at work and for some reason, Lollipop is refusing to connect to the wifi as well. Good times
Might just flash it back to 4.4.4 and wait for the OTA upgrade to see if that does it better
Just as an additional - managed to download a voice recorder app.... Nothing either. So the whole OS isn't picking up the Microphone. Curiouser and curiouser
Oh hell.... I'm going to hang my head in shame now and hand in any tehcy credentials I may have once had.
I have a Pressy.... I forgot it was plugged in... I didn't install the app. Lollipop saw it as a headset and mic.
In conclusion: I'm an idiot. That is all x) Thank you for anyone who tried to help though.
I have the exact same problem but no pressy. Could it mean that there is a fault with the headphone jack?

Voice message error

Ok, so trying to use the stock message app with voice. Every time I use it, I have to press microphone, then start talking, I usually just say hey, then wait, it will say network error, I then proceed in using again and it works fine.
Has anyone else run it this problem?
If so, have you found a fix for this.
Now I have never tried with watch in standalone mode to see if that is different.
I get this from time to time too. It's very frustrating to speak a whole text only to get the response of "Network Error". I wish someone would figure this out. This watch is just s few small tweaks from being head and shoulders above any other wearable. The issue is the tweaks required are on basic functionality.

I have downloaded the "Chat Hub" app by Le Hoang It is $2.70 and this seems to fix the problem. It also allows you respond to messages from like facebook messenger and others. I do not however use a bunch of different ones. So not sure how good it really is.

I've had this issue before but i find it hard to believe that a third party program has anything to do with the S-Voice speech to text...
The issue has also happened to me on a pebble and android wear.. I think it has more to do with the connection between the watch and the phone. What phone are you using?

I can honestly say this fixed it. May not be the idea of the app, but has for me anyway.

Voice input fail...?

Anyone having issues with voice (system, US English)? In that it only works once or twice, then constantly fails with the error "voice input fail".
I can change language (to German for instance) it will work a few times, then stop... back to US English (works a few times...then, yep, stops....).....
Anyone else see this?
Thanks!
Edit/Update - - Try UK ?? English!
..
I have the same issue. Don't know what's wrong.
Seems to work now....

Yours working yet? I factory reset the watch after backing it up and did the whole set-up dance....no difference. Then, later in the day, it started working....haven't thoroughly tested it....but it seems be better....
..
I have an S2, but the underlying implementation is the same.
S-Voice uses a remote server for decoding and interpreting voice input. Occasionally Samsung's servers are unresponsive or failing in some other way. I've experienced this a few times over the last year I've had my S2.
So this may be what was going on, particularly since it started working again later. I didn't use S-voice yesterday, so I can't comment on any outages.
Finally, I will add that since the rollout of the recent update adding a bunch of S3 features to the S2 (reminders, etc.) and updating the entire Tizen OS, S-voice is working much better than it used to. Still doesn't hold a candle to Google's "okay google", but has crossed the threshold to being a useful, value-add feature now rather than a cruel tease. In my opinion, of course.
I had this problem with my S3. You might have hit a setting that you did not realize you hit. When you were able to enter speech and hit send, you had a choice to choose send as text or send as voice. Just below these two choices there is a small circle, if you accidentally touch that, it turns off the speech input and only uses the text. The only way I have found to get out of this mode is to open the main settings, scroll down to messages, select messages, you should see "send as audio". Click it so it is "on".
This should take you back to where it will let you dictate messages. Just be careful when selecting the send as text or audio option as that little circle will be below them and it is easy to touch accidentally.
I hope this helps
I have the same problem and it has not been corrected by resetting or the message sound option.
Same issue here
Well it seems to be at it again.
Interesting part is that using U.S. English, it does not work. If I switch it to U. K. English it does work. (I'm in the US..)
... C'mon Samsung, how about getting your current software working correctly before introducing any new buggy stuff.
Skeeter123,, I am having the same exact problem since I installed the new software update , very frustrating hopefully they will fix this issue soon ?
Yup.
Fix the old buggy software before you give us a new buggy stuff.
Ridiculous Update
I have had my watch for one week and it worked great and then the voice input just stopped. I called Samsung and they offered NO help other than for me to mail it back to them, REALLY! So, back to Best buy for an exchange. Well, same issue will another brand new $450 watch. Is the Gear S3 going to another Note 7 debacle? It is a Samsung product. Get your crap together Samsung! If anyone finds a fix, Pease post.
I'm having this problem
Indeed setting the language to English(Great Britain) actually works! Hats off the person who posted this earlier in the thread

You're welcome!
But now you have to speak that funny English that they speak over there.:silly:
While I never tried it till this morning, it did work. US.
Still not working for me. And UK English is not working very well either.
Are you in the US?
For all of my tests I am attempting to dictate a message.
I just switched mine over to the English (UK) and it appears to be working right now. I am in the good ole US of A, and have a pretty thick southern accent and it works, but we should not have to change it this way, but at least it works again.
Yup. I hear ya! Too bad Sammy doesn't. I'm going to check out some of the Android Wear 2.0 watches soon.....If I like one, then it's bye-bye Sammy. For good....sigh...
That's too bad that they will lose customers over their inability to get it right the first time. Crazy thing with voice input, I have to have it set to UK English to respond to text messages, or to send a text, but it has to be in US English to speak a reminder in?. Do you think Samsung even monitors this forum?
