Issues with Voice Actions in CM7 - 4 devices - General Questions and Answers

Am I the only one having issues? So far Voice Actions barely works for me on 4 different devices with CM7.
Vibrant, myTouch 4G, Sensation, G2x.
It seems most of the time when I try to use Voice Actions the phone doesn't "hear" anything I say. Nothing registers. I have tried with and without headphones plugged in.
Sometimes it works, but most of the time it's just dead. Has anyone else encountered this? It's irritating the **** out of me and I can't figure out how fix it.

might be...
I use mine from time to time...is a vibrant...and seems to work fine...
only anomaly I see from time to time is when bluetooth headset is attached, some times the internal mic seems to stop working.
I'm on stable 7.1.0.1...
one of the reasons I actually left the stock build was because randomly, after using bluetooth headset and disconnecting, I would loose all system sounds on the device, and the mic stopped working with everythign except phone calls..

That's what I mean. Voice actions launches but the mic appears not to be on. Very annoying, especially when driving.

Jawbone icon disconnects when call waiting activates

I've just got a jawbone icon, and twice already I've been on the phone, and someone else calls (call waiting), immediately the headset disconnects and eventually reconnects. Not sure if this problem lies with htc or jawbone.. does anyone have a jawbone or infact any bt headset to see if this can be reproduced?

I'm quite worried to hear this. I've ordered a plantronics bluetooth headset which should be arriving on monday. I'll definitely update you once I've had a play.
Sort of ironic that the only reason I wanted to get the headset was because the loudspeaker is so bad... And now we see that BT doesn't work too well either.

Im using a Sony ericsson MW600, works flawlessy with my earlier phone but its behaving really weird on my Desire HD.
Listening to media in all it forms often works without hassle, but as soon as the phone function is being called - it randomly disconnects, reconnect, and by then the phone has already switched the sound back to the phone.
Also seeing alot of problems with switching the sound between different modes during a call, the option is there, but nothing happens.
And sometimes I cant even call people trough my BT headset, I connect it, doesnt use it for anything else before - and call someone, and still it doesnt get the sound right
So, some problems alright - longing for customs ROMs

Me too .. workaround whilst in the phone call is to switch to speaker or 'desire hd' and then back to bt headset this works every time for me

Feel free to correct me, but I think this problem belongs to the Jawbone.. it just happened on my other phone aswell (not android) so hopefully it's not a desire hd thing also..
I Will bump this One.
I have a mw600 and am experiencing some annoying problems.
First of all I cannot use it for calls at all. Cant even record anything from the headsets mic.
Second i have noticed that the sound quality is bad compared to when i connect the device to an itouch.
I really hope this is a software issue so I dont have to send the phone in for reparations.
Anyone else noticed the same issues with sound quality?
Were u able to fix it?

Using MW600 myself - works fine (for calls and music)
did not try recording - don't think it's supposed to work.
- remember that you need to pick up the phone using the answer button on MW600 if somebody calls you, or else it defaults to internal speaker, (and you can choose MW600) then. (move sound).
The only problem I've seen is, that sometimes MW600 cannot be used for calls anymore, it helps then to restart the hansfree, and it works again. - this did not happen on HD2.

Have the same exact problem with Icon HD. This is the Jawbone, not the phone / BT error...

The sound is just amazing! :good::good::good:

all calls default to speakerphone, any ideas?

Driving me insane. Doesn't matter what ROM I'm running, it does it 90% of the time for incomming and outgoing calls.
Anyone have any ideas?
Mine randomly does this as well. It's a rather unpleasant experience to have the speakerphone on @ your ear when someone responds to your answering the phone.
I've had mine turn on in the middle of a call once or twice. I thought I had somehow hit something not knowing it.
Had that problem. Believe it has something to do with the "car dock" mode. somehow it gets turned on or something. Don't really remember what I did other then try resetting it, pulling battery, or just smacking the crap out of it onto a table or something. I'm serious, not hard enough to break it but enough to fix it hehe. I'm actually pretty sure that's what I did lol.

Same issue here. Running stock non-rooted GB. Also on wife's LG Phoenix. Could be something sent down from ATT?
Try going to settings - dock - remove check from Auto-launch. I'm wondering if it thinks for some reason it's docked and therefore defaulting to Speaker
Just found out that GoSMS was the problem. Updated on both phones and the problem is gone. They actually admitted to it with the update description.
I have the same issue. Went as far as flashing back to stock unrooted. Still occurred. I believe its a hardware problem with the usb on the phone. Something about the contacts crossing.

If you read the thread you would have seen that the two causes of the problem were dock mode and also go sms. Not to mention this was dug up from 3months ago
Thanks for your reply.
Guess I should have mentioned dock mode does not seem to be whats causing it on mine.
I understand this was dug up from 3 months ago, but I am having the issue now was good back then.
Same happens with me... i hav removed dock mode also but still have speaker always on..
any solutions?
I recommend root and custom rom. Never had this problem since then.

Okey I am having this problem on every rom whether its ics or gb.
The culprit is carhome app.I have be after this problem since I got my inspire. It gave me whole lot of trouble. Latest one is force auto-rotate screen.
Another thing is u need original inspire charger and usb. If u have anyone thing which is not original. Carhome app will cause problems. Unfortunately my inspire charger and USB r broken.
The only solution is to open the rom zip delete carhome.apk and carhomeluncher.
How I come to conclusion.
I charged my phone then flashed aospx rom everything was fine no auto speaker, no forced auto rotation but as soon as I connected my USB carhome app pops up and
All these problem started to happen again.

Hi, I have the same problem with the New Att stock sense 3.0 (3.20.502.52) rooted ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810461
The Car Panel app was launching randomly, so I first froze it using root uninstaller, no more car panel launching, but my screen started randomly turning on while in sleep, so I completely uninstalled Car Panel, my screen still goes on sometimes, and it did not solve the speaker always on problem.
Cheers.

Once carhome starts there is no way to solve the problem.even after removing it problem remains.
Best solution is delete it from the zip before installing

I have found my screen won't stay off when I hold it up to my ear. Light sensor is very sensitive or my ear is shaped weird... Probably the later. I then think 'fat facing' because of this has attributed to random hangups and speaker phone engagements.

Bluetooth unreliable

I am really getting tired of my bluetooth headset not staying connected. Has anyone been able to figure out why both the Infuse and now my Skyrocket both lose their connection to my bluetooth headset during the day? It will connect to it (manually) no problem in the morning but after awhile it just loses the connection to my device? No ryhme or reason and the only way to get it back working again is to turn BT off/on again. Is the BT hardware in the phone just a piece of dog poo or what?

If you are using the same B/T device for both phones then I would be highly suspect of the device, not the phones. If it is fixed (not sure what folded means) then good...
Sorry to resurrect an old topic, but has anyone come up with a solution to this recently? I've been having similar problems recently. When I turn bluetooth on sometimes, it just hangs and doesn't turn on. I have to restart the phone. This has been happening more and more recently.
If it has something to do with the 2.3.6 update, is there a way to roll back to 2.3.5?
Wait, there was an update to 2.3.6? Did you get that OTA or is that from an alternate ROM? Mine is showing as up to date at 2.3.5 running stock.

I got it OTA about a month ago. Apparently AT&T pulled it, though.
Honestly, I see no difference between the two.
I have given up on Bluetooth with this phone! I actually went and bought a decent set of wired headphones incase I need to use them to talk handsfree.
On a more pleasant note (Lol) my new Galaxy Note is superb on my Jawbone and my car. Nice to use Bluetooth in the car again.
The skyrocket definitely has a Bluetooth issue. I had it before and after the 2.3.6 update.

BTW, where does one typically go to file a complaint? Would I go to AT&T or Samsung? They have probably heard of this issue already, but I figure one more person reminding them wouldn't hurt.

Is everyone having bluetooth issues in an LTE area? I think the first time I noticed this problem was around the time LTE was turned on in LA... or after the 2.3.6 update. Since people w/o the update are having the problem.. maybe it's related to LTE?
I started a similar thread a while back, but the mods moved it to accessories: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342831
There are definitely BT issues with this phone. I returned two because of the BT failing completely. So far so good with the two I have now. Some BT devices work better with this phone, but some don't work at all; it's very picky about what devices it works with. I have the Motorola HX550 headset, it works pretty well with that. Mine does not work well with Blueant, Jawbone, Motorola H17s or HX1s. The Blueant and Jawbone headsets worked, but voice dialing sucked because volume on confirmations was too low to be heard.
It's not LTE related; we have no LTE where I live. It's also not 2.3.6 related.

Thanks for clarifying the LTE theory. Thought it was worth a shot.
When you say you have two devices, do you mean two Skyrockets? I'm thinking of visiting the store, too.
Yep, I have had 5 skyrockets. 3 returned and I have two functional SRs now.

[Q] Bluetooth Issues?

Has anybody else been having bluetooth issues?
For some weird reason, I can't make calls go through my car's bluetooth.
AD2P(music streaming) works just fine, but calls it won't even ring through my car speakers.
This wasn't the case with my Blackberry, Sensation or Vibrant, so I know the car isn't at fault here
I can make calls but it drops them after about 20 seconds, i cant seem t remedy it either.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda app-developers app
Mine works fine with my bluetooth handsfree from Nokia in my car, but unfortunately the one on the other end of the call hears his/her own voice (like an echo).
I have never had any issues with that handsfree with the phones I've used before (HTC One X, Galaxy SII, iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS)!
N I'm guessing you guys are running stock?
Nope, actually running TrickDroid 5.0, but I also had the issue on stock ROM...
hmm.. interesting. I have been having issues, but not the same ones. and its not all the time. but i can usually make a call ok with my BT headset, but when streaming music (any app) with a2dp, i get cuts and stops almost all the time. i am rooted, and have tried it on several roms. i cannot recreate the probelm everytime, but it doesnt seem to be signal related as it has happened on wifi as well. strange
it's htc rom issue. every htc rom i have tried have this problem including syncing my address book with my car. aokp and cm9 builds don't have this issue for some reason
I can't get my phone to sync with the car - they just don't find each other.

Hello!
Please help me if you can!
I have problems with connection of bluetooth headset! I have an other HTC Phone (Desire Z - 2.3.6.) and using multipoint headset (Jawbone ERA and Motorola HX1).
My problem that randomly (without any reason) disconnect from my One S the bluetooth headset (de Desire Z still connected without any problem). If i turn off and on the BT on the phone is not reconnect, if i try manually (from the menu) reconnect, can't connect.
Here coming some weired thing too...if this happen my Motorola turn off and on, and reconnect without any problem. But if i try to this with the Jawbone nothing happening, the only way to reconnect if i wait half an hour or reboot my phone or if i re-pair.
I pretty sure that this problem is cause the phone, but i dont know why.
I have JB 3.16.111.10 fw T-mobile (DE) CID: TMOB101.
Have anybody idea how to solve this?
Thanks!

HOX speaker volume gets very low until reboot

I've not seen anyone here mention this, but it's being discussed on other Android forums. Thought I'd post here on XDA in hopes that some of the more technical members of this forum might have some input or ideas.
I noticed one day recently that the Google Navigation voice was so low I couldn't hear the directions over the sound of my car's A/C, which I know had not been the case before. All volumes were at max. This continued for the rest of the day, and all ringtones and notification sounds were very low. IT was so dramatic, I just assumed the speaker went bad, and I was going to have to make an insurance claim over a defective phone.
I happened to reboot the phone that evening and instantly the speaker volume was 3-4x as loud as earlier that day. I thought it was a one-time thing, but now realize that this happens 3-4 times a week. I'll notice I can't hear any of the notification sounds very well, reboot the phone, and all is well.
Except, this is a pain in the @ss to have to reboot constantly!
Has anyone experienced this? I thought I would recognize a pattern, like some app I use regularly or something, but nothing seems to make sense... seems very arbitrary, but aggravating nonetheless.
As I said, this is being talked about on a lot of the other HOX forums, but I haven't seen it mentioned specifically here. I almost want to say it started after the AT&T update last month, because I never noticed it before that. I'm on stock AT&T HOX, not rooted, and only a handful of the 'regular' popular apps. I don't even have music on the phone, nor have I ever used earbuds with it.
Very frustrating!
I have had the exact same thing happen, no clue why though.
I started a thread awhile back. Mine does the sane as well.. pissed..hope its software issue
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Same here, I'm leaning towards it being a software issue due to a reboot always fixing it.
What ROM are you on?Custom or Stock?Any mods done to the phone?I had the same issue with the phone volume being to low on a custom rom, until I went into recovery to wipe cache/dalvick and everything was good/loud again.

I can vouch for this solution. I had the same issues on my HOX when I installed a custom ROM.
In the "Special Notes" section of the CleanROM v4.1 notes, it states:
Volume may be quite. If so wipe cache's and reflash the ROM. Volume should be loud again.

Hopefully it's as simple of a fix as this!!
I'm completely stock, no custom ROMs, not rooted.
I have the same problem, stock and rooted. I recently started noticing it. It didn't always happen to me.
I do use Tasker to put my media volume all the way down once i exit my car. Then I use Elixr 2 to put all my volumes to high once I use my "home" profile. I think it might be cause of that. Since I've stopped using exlir to raise the volume, I haven't noticed the issue. But I have restarted my phone every 2 days recently for another issue so it is possible that I am fixing it each time before the symptoms start to occur

Has anyone found a permanent solution to this? It's my only gripe. I have tried two sense roms. I love HTC camera so I don't want asop. Volume plus doesn't help when volume drops off.

I can't detect any difference and if there is it is too small to detect. I tried to amplify the sound with Volume+ and there is no detectable difference. But if I use the speaker for a call, at maximum volume, it is really really loud so the speaker is definitely capable of more. But with Satnav GPS apps, at default settings, between the One X and my old Galaxy S2, there is a night and day difference
I too had these issues on replacement phone I got from att but it resolved automatically after few days
From beast called HTC One X
this problem causes due to an App, in my case previous version of Viber App caused all this issues....
hope you solve this prob
