[Q] google speech volume low... sometimes. - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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)

Voice Command... Can it announce caller 1 time only?

Hey all...
This is my first post, but I've been reading the forum for a long time and I have found out so much because of this website that it's become ridiculous. I feel very fortunate to have found it and to be part of it. I wanted to ask a question however that I can't seem to figure out on my own.
Microsoft Voice Command... I really love the program but I have one small gripe about it. I really like that it can announce an incoming call so I don't have to see it to know who is calling, but when the ringtone plays at the same time it really garbles up the sound. I don't like this at all so I came up with a kind of compromise.... I have it vibrate and make the announcement first and then I have the ringtone kick in right after... but it announces a second and third time which garbles up the ringtone again.
It would be really great if I could get the announcement to play the first time only. I was wondering if there is way to have MS Voice Command make only one announcement of the caller so the ringtone will play nicely afterward? I haven't been able to find any option except to uncheck "Announce incoming call", but I was thinking maybe a registry tweak or something?
I've looked around the board and a few others without luck... So I'm not expecting much, but I figured someone might take a look and see for me.
Thanks in advance...
Marc
i also experienced this problem as well. I hope somebody can help because Voice Command is a great app.

How to enable "repeat" in sounds and notifications

I was wondering if there are any tweaks or any way to just have the "repeat" tab available for all the notifications?
I really need this for my missed calls and missed sms messages.
I have a t-mobile mda vario and i was wondering if any one could help me?
And is there any way to further increase the overall volume on the phone and to import different kinds of vibration types? I just wanted to know because i want to further enhance my phone capabilites.

You will find the solution!
Teknasia, why don't you link to your answer to this question? I did your suggested search, and the first 6 links are all copies of this post.
The answer from teknasia is at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3319983#post3319983
The solutions posted don't really work
If we are honest we should let folks know that the 'repeat' registry hack does not really work the way a normal user would expect. For example the one commonly posted for SMS messages keeps alarming until the 10 minute mark, even if the message is already read.
So while it is true that you can enable repeat notifications for events such as text messages, the reality is it does not work perfectly.
If you want something that works, meaning once I read the message the notifications should stop, then there are products out there such as phoneAlarm that do the trick, and more, quite nicely.
PhoneAlarm in my opinion is the best solution not only for repeat sounds for SMS, Missed Calls, E-mails but also reminders from the Calendar and Tasks

[Q] voice search problem

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

[Q] Get rid of or lower volume on super loud beep using Voice to Text input

So, I know everyone loves Jelly Bean - I couldn't wait to get it. And while there are some great things about it, there are also some annoying things. When using Google Voice to Text input it makes that loud "beep" sound to let you know to talk now. Is there anyway to at least lower that sound? I use a voice control app called AVX and when in "wake up mode" (means it's listening for a special command to wake up and take your request) because it's constantly listening using Voice to Text, that beep goes off like every 20 seconds or so. VERY annoying. I'd like to get rid of it altogether or at least lower the volume on it.
Would love a non-root way to do it, but this might also be the thing that finally gets me to root my phone if that's what it takes so all methods suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks!
Just wondering if anyone has a solution for this

Google Pixle 2 XL Top Speaker Bug APP

Hello guys, iam an Pixel 2 XL owner since 3 weeks. After the first usage of my phone i get a call and i must see that the top speaker isn't making any noise during incoming call and alarm-clock.
So after that i start developing and application which can workaround this problem. Iam an hobby programmer from germany and ich want to show you my application:
My application will work with the top speaker. During an incoming call and alarm-clock my application will enable the top speaker. If you accept the call and activate the "Freisprech-Funktion", i do'nt know how it's called in englisch, the top speaker will work too.
I give my best to include an englisch translation. So iam sorry for this translation but i hope you can understand what i mean.

That would probably be "hands-free" in English. Did you post this in the non-XL section on purpose?
I am looking for an application that can check both microphones separatly, if anyone knows an app that can do this I would be grateful to know.
Just tested and it seems to work for ringtones for standard (non-xl) version of Pixel 2. Thank you, this is something I was looking for
To confirm, app works perfectly fine but there is few things that need improvement: App plays ringtones and alarms as media so if media is muted ringtone or alarm won't sound at all. There would have to be mechanism implemented to check ringer volume and set media volume to the same level otherwise phone ringtone volume setting is completely disregarded
OK, i try to check the ringer volume and set the media volume to the same Level.
Thanks for your reply.
Thanks for the english word "hands-free".
Iam from germany
Absolutely brilliant idea ?
After latest update the volume of your main ringtone... Fantastic.
Your contacts ringtone are equally as good!
Well done.
Can anyone please send me the link of this app?

Hey great fix! But I did just notice a bit of a bug, when adding a ringtone to your contacts it adds the phone number all wrong IDK if it's adding the phone number for your region
EXAMPLE : 1234/56-78-90 (this is how the app adds them)
123-456-7890 (this is the way I need the phone numbers to be added)
IDK if there's a fix or an update.
Also not to nitpick but it'd be great if there was an option for the NOTIFICATIONS tones as well.
