Hey guys! New to XDA. To keep this post short and simple, i bought the new Nexus 5 and so far its been great. However, i do have a slight problem that irks me in a bad way. At times google now will pick up my voice no problem. Google search, send a text, open a app you, call someone you name it, it works fine. Recently, however, google now tends to not pick up my voice, and the only way to remedy this is by restarting the phone. I remember reading about people have microphone issues and that phone calls sound muddy and video recording at times with bad units barely picks up ones voice. I, on the other hand, do not experience these problems. Only google now seems to show this problem. If anyone could help that'd be great . Im thinking since my video recording and phone calls are fine, its not a hardware issue. Do you think it might be software? I unfortunately cant post a video link in here so...ill try to rack 10 posts somewhere quick.
so it turns out XDA makes it pretty hard to post 10 posts. Just to get the quickest results, if you guys are up for it you can find the video on youtube. Just search "Nexus 5 Google Now glitch". the videos under the name john doe...lmao:good:
I have the same issue myself. 'OK Google' will work fine, then for some reason a while later it'll stop working. Sorry to say I don't know how to remedy it without a restart, but don't worry too much because it is a bug that is affecting other people too.
i see. im just wondering because if its a hardware issue i would wanna return it before im out of time.

Hello al! I was wondering if any of you have this problem....
Friends show offline after some time using Gtalk or when switching from Wi-Fi to Mobile Data
I have to sign out and sign in again...
Anyone else has this issue?
I have the same issue, and it's pretty annoying. Don't know how to fix it
It's funny how there is no fix. Most probably its because many people use other chat clients.

I would think GTalk is quite popular. Anyway I have been having this same issue, and it's really annoying!
It seems the problem is present on multiple devices, so it's likely to be related to Google Talk itself. In order to maximize the efforts to find a solution it's better if we focus on one topic only. The following one seems to have the greater number of replies so far:
Google Talk issue - after a few minutes Contacts are all offline when not
Sorry to necro, but it's either that or starting a new thread on this.
I have this issue myself on my Galaxy Nexus GSM.
It happens very regularly, and regardless of ROM/kernel. I've had various configurations and this issue has never ceased. I hoped Jelly Bean would finally fix it, but it hasn't.
I have tried everything under the sun. Clearing data, cache, etc. - I can't work it out. It seems like a server issue, yet I never had this problem on my previous Android (2.1, Galaxy Spica) and my friend (Desire Z) never has this problem, nor does my girlfriend on her Galaxy Note (with the same Gtalk version)
It boggles the mind.
Every so often, everyone just shows as offline, when they're not.
This happens on 3G and WiFi and doesn't seem to be an issue with handoff either. Sometimes I can rectify it by signing out/in, or simply by sending a message... but other times, that doesn't make a difference either.
Why does this happen??
On top of all this, Google Talk seems to have a lot of issues recently with delivering messages on time - to the point that my friend won't get the message (or I won't get theirs), and messages often appear out of order.
Has Gtalk just gone down the pan? It's weird, because we never seem to have any issues when both parties use it in Gmail on the PC.
Hi all,
I've done some searching on this and found some "general" instances of this happening in the official Sprint Community forums, but nothing of value and certainly nothing with particular application to the Shift.
I recently rooted and installed CM7.2RC2 on a family member's phone (not 7.2 final due to bluetooth bug). Although I'm no expert, I've rooted a number of phones and had no issue with the awesome directions provided on these forums.
Randomly, when making a call, the Shift dialer does not ring once "send" is pressed, but rather one only hears an "echo" of anything being said into the phone. On the other end, the call seems to connect normally; however, the recipient only hears an echo of their own voice as well. As such, the two parties cannot communicate, despite the fact that for all appearances the call is connected.
This occurs in the opposite situation as well. Seemingly randomly, if a call is placed into the Shift, the user of the Shift can accept the call no problem. However, once the call is accepted, the person using the Shift only hears an echo of their own voice. On the dialing end, the call appears to be connected, but that caller only hears an echo of their own voice as well.
The issue tends to occur in "blocks", like a few calls won't work, but then it'll work normally again all of a sudden. The phone might be fine for a few hours, then randomly it'll happen again.
I've attempted to downgrade to CM7.1, upgrade to the latest nightly, and use just about everything in between with no luck. I updated the radios to the current version again (also did this during the rooting process, updating the profile/prl/pri as well, before flashing CM). Last night I downloaded newSENSE in the hopes of flashing that tonight and using the Sense interface to update the Profile on the phone. However, I'm not sure that will do any good if I nan back to CM7.2RC2.
Just wanted to shoot this out to the rest of the group to see if anyone else might have had this same or a similar issue with their Shift. I've used CM/AOKP on my OG Evo since I brought it home and never experienced anything similar.
Thanks for any thoughts/input!

This happens to me on cm9.
I can still hear the other person, but I always hear a slight echo (not enough to make the conversation impossible)
Its annoying, but its not too bad.
As far as I know, the other person doesn't experience any echo.
Sounds similar...but the only difference is, with my issue, neither party can hear the other. All each party hears is a slight time-delayed echo of their own voice; not the other person.
When the issue occurs during a dial-out on the Shift, the caller on the Shift doesn't even hear the "ringing" of the phone on the other end to confirm that the call is being routed (although it is, and the person on the other end can pick up)...all the Shift user hears from the point where they press the dial key is an echo of what is on their end of the line.
It's very weird.
Also, if it helps, the phone has Google Voice integration enabled on Sprint. I'm seeing some posts saying that this may be the issue, although I'm not convinced since this problem never presented itself prior to rooting/flashing.
Thanks!

Yeah, it hasn't been as bad as your situation.
This ROM has google voice installed on it, but I disabled it (i dont like it lol)
I honestly don't know what could be causing the echo.
I haven't tried flashing other roms to see if the echoing persists because it's not too much of a nuisance for me.
I don't know the cause of your issue, so not much help. But I can say I have had Voice integration setup for a while now, across all different types of ROMS and never experienced this problem. Everything from the new ICS/CM9 Roms, chinese ports and etc.. to me just having to unroot back to stock today, the integration has worked for me without a problem on everything.
I'm running NewSense and get an echo call once a day or so. Isn't continous and if I hang up and dial again it always goes through normally. I was running CM7 and UKE ROM and can't remember if I had the same issue so I just deal with it and assume it's a Sprint service glitch. As it's not terrible, I don't feel like reflashing just to see if that would fix it.
As a quick update: This morning I deactivated Google Voice integration on the line and the user has had not experienced the problem since I took that action (approx 14hrs of normal use sending/receiving numerous calls).
I'm going to reintegrate Google Voice on the line tomorrow, giving it 24hrs to be sure that was the issue, and will report back whether the problem returns.
In the interim, thanks again to all for your input!

After reintegration of Google Voice on Sprint, the issue reappeared immediately. As a result, I've just decided to forego Google Voice integration and instead set up conditional call forwarding. Not really a big deal; but still a very odd bug! Odds are I'll re-try the integration again at some point in the future, but for now call forwarding should be fine.
Oh well, hope this might help out someone else in the future!
same issue on Evo 4G LTE
I am experiencing exactly the same issue on my Evo 4G LTE. I have Google voice integration as well. I was told at a Sprint store that it is a known network issue (even happening on iphones) and that I should call Sprint and tell them where it was happening, but I'm pretty sure they have no idea it has anything to do with Google Voice, and I know the low level customer support rep that I get when I call *2 is not going to be helpful at all, nor will they accept the evidence that it is a GV issue. I really don't want to disable GV integration, but if that is what I have to do, I will.
Oh, and this is happening on a stock rom both with S-OFF and S-ON
Same thing on ET4G (S2), At first I thought it was a hardware problem so I took it to Sprint and they gave me a new phone. The problem persisted. Then I suspected it was Google Voice. I use GV's features all the time so disconnecting it from Sprint is not a preferable option. Has anyone made any progress on this?
If you read the other posts, he said that the only way to fix it that he found was to disable google voice. If you mean to ask if there is any workaround, I would not think so, but if you absolutely needed to use Google Voice, you could RUU back to stock (only if rooted) and then take it to Sprint to have them replace it
It might also help if you exaggerated your problems a bit, thats what I did and they gave me a new phone for no charge

As an alternative to Google Voice, you could always use something like Skyvie from the Play Store

Just thought I'd update for posterity. The user of the Evo Shift 4g has been using a Photon Q since release with Google Voice integration. This week it started developing this same issues with calls in/out echoing with at least one party not being able to hear the other. Although the user of that handset loves GV, I think I might just turn off integration permanently and relegate GV to a voicemail service rather than an all-encompassing messaging client. Too bad, really. The integration was a great idea.
Hello everyone!
What I'm looking to do is really simple, a LOT of people are interested in these feature, however, no one has a clear solution.
There has been a lot of post about this subject but they are most old post and there's nothing help full.
Here is the problem - whenever I'm talking over the phone, I can play any music I like and I can hear it perfectly, but the other side cant hear anything! even if ill let the music play using the phone speaker - the other side is silent (witch is strange cause when the speaker play, the mic should transfer the sound and shouldn't "care" who is making it).
So after a lot of searching for apps and different ways, I found out something interesting.. If I make the call using an VOIP (skype, viber and so on) and Ill play music at the same time - THE OTHER SIDE CAN HEAR IT PERFECTLY!!! witch means the phone is fully capable of doing it.
What is going wrong when I'm using the cellular network instead of VOIP? is there a way around it?
Ive noticed some people don't get WHY would I want to do it.. well, I'm working using my phone (sales) and using the exact same pitch. I would like to be super lazy and play a recorded version of me, and when its done, be able to just keep talking to the person without him being able to notice the difference.
Since I'm doing it for work, I cant use VOIP for regular calling since Ill lose the option to use "Airdroid".
I'm using Nexus 4, Slimkat rom (4.4.4).
ANY help at all will be appreciated
Recently I've been having a lot of intermittent issues with the quality of the calls on my oneplus one. People keep telling me they can't hear me well or they hear me voice all chopped up.
I hear people on the other side of the line flawlessly.
This seems to happen at no particular location. Even though at work my reception is really bad it also seems to happen while I'm driving.
For what it's worth, I can't recall one time that def told me one time when wifi but I wouldn't bet on this.
Currently running CM 12.1 nightly 20150504. Stock Kernel
Had anybody experienced this and had been able to solve it? Is pretty frustrating.
I am also facing same problem if any has solution
kindly help
Yes same problem for me. After reboot everything goes well for some time

I agree with all u. Even I am facing same issue. But Try ColorOS, MIUI, CM11. These ROMs gave me good network.
Problem is those are KK OS and most of the cases I am facing Google Services Keep Awake.
In LL, try Exodus, AICP. These 2 was good but not like the OS I have mentioned at top.
have you guys checked audio effects. See what have you checked off because I read that may be an issue. I also had a friend with the same problem and that solved it for him. He was on stock
I had the same problem following replacing a broken screen. Thought it was something I had done replacing the screen. The phone upgraded to 12.1-YOG4PAS1NO when I turned it on. Phone calls to some people were garbled at there end, call reception was good at my end. OK google worked, using the audio recorder App worked perfectly. I went to mobile network setting and changed preferred network type to LTE (recommend) and clear call quality has returned for three numbers that I tested it on. Not sure why that network type had changed. Not sure if this is just a coincidence. Will test further during the weekend.
I found somewhere that suggested it was something wrong with the noise cancelation and of you put your finger over the microphone on the back by the camera it should help. Haven't tried covering the mic yet, but noticed that if I'm somewhere a little louder then I don't have issues and when I am somewhere quiet I tend to get complaints, which leads me to believe it is something to do with the noise cancelation

Also just found where it suggests disabling "OK Google" from any screen feature. Just disabled it and waiting for someone to call me
I, I desactivated OK google on every screen; after that the sound was perfect on all my outgoing calls
"Ok Google" deactivation from every screen solved the problem for me. Check this out - http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-g3/504150-call-quality-has-suddenly-tanked-2.html this is where I got the clue to do this.
I had the same problem and indeed this seem to have solved it! So far so good...
I used this fix and according to a few people they have no issues hearing me anymore. And I also still have Google Now on all screens, so that's nice.
Good day all,
I ve had this watch for almost a year now and I still cant get SVoice to function similarly to OK Google on my Android Wear watch. Any advice?
It either doesnt hear me or my favorite part is when I say "text so and so" it will tell me that person is not in my contacts list.
Also is it me or does HERE navaitgator not work great (Im in NYC) as well as Google Maps on a wear watch? Maybe Im comparing too much..But there are serious quality dips here.
I asked the same question awhile ago and got zero response. Near as I can tell all it does is record a voice memo with no Reminder functions. Which is a shame cuz I'd love to have that. I can still read a Reminder on my watch from the phone though.
S Voice couldn't call a particular person or any other to be exact, then I added that person to a "buddy" list as a favorite and S Voice was able to recognize and call. I tried to do some navigation, but was getting a route only overview, no directions. I think it is possible to install Here Maps on the watch or it may need to be installed on the phone to function. Will try tomorrow.
Yeah, it's not Google, for sure. I wish there was some way the S2 would work with Google but apparently that's out.
Feedback for S Voice
Hi all,
We'd like to know more about the issue you're having with S Voice.
Can you please share the device information?
Please feel free to reply through here or on private message.
S Voice team @ Samsung
I use both gear S and S2. The gear s I use for work with a work sim and I can say "call <name>" and it dials from my work number even though the contact is on the phone, same for text. Is it a permission issue you're having? Though I do use a Samsung phone so maybe that helps, but to be honest I've tried the gear S wear port and found a new love for tizen on the S and S2, it's not pretty but does what I need and has best by far battery life.
