Nexus 5 phone dialer buggy?

Maybe just me but the phone dialer feels buggy. Several times i select a number on the call history list to dial. It seems to then be stucked on dialing. if i hit back and manually dial the same number on the number pad then it dials through. Also does anyone have problem with dialing out or receving phone call, then hang up and music playing doesn't resume? I have this problem with n7player and also somewhat buggy with poweramp..

Still have problem with it and can't figure if there's anything to make it better. I would have poweramp playing music then hit the dialer app. dial a number and as soon as i do that poweramp is shut down. after hanging up music doesn't resume because it appears the music player has been killed. When the music player is restarted, volume is messed up or it sounds garbled. This seems even worse with my stereo BT headset jabra BT3030.
Anyone else got this problem? I mean am i really the only one with this problem?

I do not use the dialer, as I am a teenager so I just text so I can't confirm anything. Haha. Anyways, try ExDialer from the Play Store. You will loose the new 4.4 dialer features like business caller ID, if that matters to you. You can change the theme if you don't like the stock theme.

The music apps you are using may not be yet compatible with Kitkat. Try testing Google Play Music (comes with phone) and see if the problem persists.

The two i tried are poweramp and n7player. The reasons for those apps? I need a player that has lockscreen control and queing files to a playlist by being able to select files individually from folder view and multiple saved playlists. There are actually not too many of apps that has all those as several does not have folder view of files anymore. Google play music app does not have folder view of files

after MUCH pain i got google music play to work and yes it does work with dialer and pause and resume music properly with phone call. it does have a so and so lock screen control but no adding file to playlist by folder view. what a pain. am i the only one missing the folder view?

I have found if you turn off animations "developer mode" it messes with the dialer.

I've found the dialer to be perfect, and so far haven't had a problem with it. I found it SO cool when I called my work number and the name and my logo came up idk if this is just me lol but I thought this was the coolest thing ever.

I am still trying to decide if it's the dialer problem or if it's the music app problem. Google play music app works fine resuming music after making a phone call. I just wish google music play app has an add file to playlist from a folder view. I am kinda old school....

I've had problems with the dialer itself. Was working fine for me now it freezes. Sometimes I receive a phone call and I cannot answer it. I had my settings set to ART and now I switched back, cleared the cache, and I'm still experiencing problems. I have a custom recovery and am rooted. Not sure if that's the issue but this just recently became a problem. I did have my animations turned off. I'm going to try turning them on as someone suggested. Will report back.

Tried a factory reset and was still having problems with the dialer. Then I went into the mobile data settings and set it to auto roam, I have sprint so I did not select sprint home only. I also set it to accept roaming and kept the network mode to global. I had changed that to LTE before and also have the roaming network set to Sprint only. Now that I changed these settings I can receive calls and sail out without any problems even with my music player on. Hope this helps.

THANK YOU!
Specifically, it is the "Animator Duration Scale." The other two animation settings can remain off and the dialpad will still appear.
That was bugging the crap out of me.. !

Ads on lock screen

On the lock screen a full screen ad appears within 3 seconds. I hate it. Is this normal?
I've tried disabling a bunch of stuff,changing permissions, notification options, etc, nothing seems to get rid of it. Anyone else had this issue, and found out what causes it or find a way to fix it?

Not normal. At least it wasn't for me (U11 Unlocked)

On other phones, this was usually due to either ES File Explorer or any of the GO apps like GOSMS, etc. Try uninstalling those if you have them.

News Republic is known to serve ads too. you mind showing the ad on your lockscreen? Some of them contains hints of which app is serving them.
Also include a list of apps so maybe we can identify which is the culprit if any of us tried it before.

I think I found what the problem is while looking on the Play store at the Sense Home app. Different ad, but same thing.

I could be wrong because I'm not very smart, but I think this means its baked into the launcher, with no option to actually stop it. Tried clearing all app data, cache etc in airplane mode so it can't get more ads fed to it, but it's still there. Even tried to switch to a standard google launcher but even that didn't get rid of it.
I'm still hopeful that I'm missing something simple here, but also worried that HTC are being giant a-holes forcing ads and not allowing options to remove. Anyone have any other ideas?

By any chance do you have the Yelp App? LOL
also you could try
Settins/Sound &notifications/On the lock screen/
Don't show notifications at all
or go to Blinkfeed. Click the + sign and uncheck Mealtime recommendations.

Could just be sense home. Have you tried to disable ads in the launcher? If it still happens, then it's a third party app causing the lockscreen ads.

In order to get rid of notification apps that pop up in the upper left corner, all you have to do is swipe down to show the ads, then longpress on the particular app thats really pissing you off, and a menu will show and then select "never show again". That news republic used to piss me off all the time when it pops up and there was no other way to get rid of it. Its gone now,,,,lol. Anyway, try that method.

Thanks. I don't have yelp, and have tried that setting. Don't have meal recommendations on either.

OK I think I fixed it now. Pretty annoying.
It's counter-intuitive, but I had to actually enable mealtime recommendations in blinkfeed so that all the other stuff I turned off could override it, for some stupid reason.

Scratch that. It somehow un-fixed itself. This is driving me insane!!
Something to do with HTC and Yelp being in bed with each other, as I don't have yelp or anything on my phone. It still shows up whether I have mealtime recommendations or ads allow or disallowed or any combination of the above.
Be good if they would provide a simple/transparent way of blocking this s#!t. I really can't think of anything else to try.....

It's not news republic? That's the only thing I've seen do that

Yeah i got that the one time i signed into HTC account and turned on location for it. It started giving me lunch time recommendations etc. I dont normally use HTC account, just google, but thought i would try it on 11. Quickly did new setup and didn't sign in to HTC.

Thanks for that. Worked. I had to go though sense companion setup again to remove the account, but it worked. Took a bit of time afterwards for the ad to disappear, but it hasn't come back since.

Flashlight
I have an HTC U11 that started showing full screen ads (after about 3 seconds viewing the lockscreen, an ad appears suggesting a nearby restaurant) on the lockscreen. After trying everything I found online, I finally took someone's advice and disabled the Flashlight app. Yes, the Flashlight app that's installed when you get the phone. I didn't think it would work, but it did. Give it a try.

I have flashlight installed and use it multiple times a day via the squeeze function... I'd be very surprised if it's that.
Op, post a screenshot of all your installed apps if this problem still persists.

It sounds like you may have already figured it out. But this is likely the Sense Companion app. Which you can disable under settings - apps.

To my knowledge, the Sense Companion is what causes the lock screen suggestion that is pictured in the OP's screenshot.
Edit: Didn't realize that I repeated the post from the person above me.

How to guide: Enable 'ok Google' to work from ANY screen

This guide will work on both the HD 8 and HD 7. **EDIT, NOTE:** It will probably be better to make sure you have all the core Google Apps and services updated to the latest versions BEFORE you start this guide. Please see this post before you start the guide.
First download and install the Google App, which is required. Also download and install Gboard (this is only required for voice typing).
From the Google app , tap the three bars at the upper left > settings > voice. Set your default language, set speech output to on and download an offline speech set. Then tap 'ok Google' detection and switch ON 'from the Google app'. You can try to turn on 'from any screen', but you won't be able to...yet. Now open the Gboard app and tap voice typing. Select your languages and decide if you don't like bad words. Then go to settings > keyboard and languages > show/hide keyboards > make sure Google voice typing is set to automatic. Now swipe everything closed.
1) Now you need to download and install Activity Launcher. Open it and tap the three bars at the top left and select 'all activities.'
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2) Scroll down until you see settings. Tap it and scroll until you see 'voice input'. Then tap it.
3) After tapping 'voice input' a screen will pop up with two settings; 'Basic Google recognition' and 'Enhanced Google services.' You need to select 'Enhanced Google services.'
4) When you completed that, stay on that screen and tap the gear to the right of Enhanced Services. Now it brings you back into the voice settings screen.
5) Tap the 'ok Google' detection. Now tap 'from any screen.' Another screen will come up which will allow you to train the Google App with your own voice. Tap next at the bottom right.
6) Now all you need to do is follow the onscreen instructions. You''ll be asked to say 'ok Google' three times. It's best to be in a quiet area so your microphone doesn't record and weird sounds, aside from your voice.
If you use Nova Launcher, go into Nova Settings > gestures and input > and turn on 'ok Google' hot word. Now you should be able to do a voice Google search from ANY screen on your tablet...except the lock screen The app will detect your voice, but the screen has to be unlocked unfortunately. You should also download Google text-to-speech as well. Though you will have to access it using Activity Launcher which will allow you to create a shortcut to it. First you need to bind 'appwidget' to your custom launcher using the steps here. Once you've done that, go into Activity Launcher > all activities > scroll to Google text-to-speech and tap it. Then tap on 'Google TTS voice data' to select your languages. When done, long press on that same item and create shortcut. Yay you're done

I rebooted to recovery, wiped cache, powered down and powered back on. I had to go back into Activity Launcher and re-select 'Enhanced Google services.' This might be due to Amazon apps: SpeechInteractionManager or SpeechUI. Maybe both, but I haven't tried to uninstall them yet because I'm not ready for a reset. If someone could kindly test this for me?
I cannot uninstall or disable Amazon's text-to-speech as it's inside settings and not an APK/package, unless I missed it.

Thanks for this. You are single handedly making this tablet better and better.
When I select 'from any screen' I get the progress wheel then 'problem while connecting', 'try again/dismiss'.
Netguard is installed but toggled off. Strange...

Try this. In Activity Launcher, scroll to the Google App. Tap it and scroll until you see Google Assistant. Tap the second and third one until they both load. Pick one of those windows, tap 3 dots upper right. Make sure the same account is listed that's attached to your tablet. That was one step I messed with while troubleshooting, before I found 'voice input' in settings.
Also, while troubleshooting, I read that you need to have the same voice settings set up for each device that is signed in with the account on your tablet. So if using the account on two or three devices, you'd have to have the same settings across all three.

Hmm, like you I enjoy digging a bit deeper into things. Account location on my Android devices is set to English uk. I have swapped and changed Google play location to US from time to time in order to get better app prices but that is also set to uk now. Can't troubleshoot further right now but interesting stuff. Will try again later

I've sporadically been having the same issue, though not being exclusive to just the tablets. My phone was weirding out too. I think it could be something to do with syncing. I'm not sure yet. I am going to try something today that might fix it.
I also uninstalled both of the Amazon Speech apps. I haven't rebooted yet, since uninstalling the second one. So I am still not sure if that was causing the confusion.

So this fixes the issue, but I haven't rebooted as of this posting so I don't know if it all holds. Please see this post to make sure ALL core Google apps are updated to their latest versions before you go through the guide.

Is this enabling google now or google assistant?

"Ok Google" Assistant. You have download the Nova Google Companion for Nova launcher if you want to use that.

Thanks for this guide. I've got voice recognition working on my Fire 7, but should I also be getting voice output i.e. google assistant verbally answering my questions?
I've also tried setting up personalized results in 'Voice Match' in google home, but it hangs on 'Please wait...' after pressing Continue

Actually I think I just figured out how to get this to survive a reboot. I have powered off and or rebooted at least 8 times now and the settings have held each time. I'll write a guide tomorrow.

So I stumbled upon what is likely to be a major fix with this. It was actually by mistake I had discovered it. I have some more work to do though as this appears to be a big breakthrough. I'll have to write a new guide for sure.

[GUIDE] [NO ROOT]: Enable Google Assistant and 'ok Google'

Is it possible for Hands free access to both... Google Asst/ Ok Google and Alex? Or Easily switch between both?

Yes. I have both enabled on my mom's HD8 and my dad's HD10. I followed all the directions with the exception of changing Alexa's setting

Also Some of you might have noticed OK Google may have stopped working after updating your Google app. It is possible though I haven't been able to say for sure, that updating the Google app at one point may have changed something inside secure settings which causes some of the assistant functionality to stop. if this is happened to you and OK Google has stopped working, go back to the OP at the link provided at the end of this post and make sure the secure settings settings are correct. When updating a Google app on another device one of the lines was deleted specifically the 'assistant' line on my HD 10 and the voice interaction line on another device. any one of these lines being removed from secure settings will cause a assistant to lose some of its functionality. make sure when updating your Google app that you're still in beta and that those three lines do not get removed or changed. https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/general/guide-enable-google-assistant-ok-google-t3740145

I posted the same reply on: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78231156&postcount=114
So changing this FLAG/ Setting allows you to switch between HANDSFREE access to "Ok Google" and "Alexa" key words?
Could we do this via? :
- Some UI Button to trigger the SWITCH between G & A - Some App/ Script? - To start off.. without having to change "code/ text" allowing anyone non techie to do it.
- Could it be done using Voice Commands from G > A and A to G?

ECHO CALLER on OP7PRO

Hi all,
I have noticed that people voice talking to me (phone, whatapp, ect ) are complaining with echo on their side
I have to lower the headset volume to stop this echo. It do not occur with bluetooth
I think that the noise reduction mic on the top is to sensible but I'm not a specialist. Support have received my device with no problem discovered
I have tryed the hard reset but same issue
Do you encounter the same issue on your OP7 Pro ?
Thank all
Same issue on my girlfriend device...

Yep, I'm getting the same complaints since update 10.0.3 on TMobile in USA.

No issues before the update, now everyone is saying whenver they speak to me they can hear themselves echoing. Anyone else have same issue or a fix??
I have tried resetting mobile networks, turning VoLTE off, toggling airplane and mobile data off, 2/3G only off/on, lowered volume during call. Nothing works so far.
Edit: Contacted OnePlus Support. He (Michael) suggested I shut down the phone completely, hold Volume Down + Power, Select English, clear Cache, clear cache and restart. (Do not erase everything, just cache). Seems to be working again with no echo but after 15 min echo came back. Support wants me to do a HARD RESET (FACTORY) but I will only do as last resort. Anyone else got solutions?

I don't have any issues I have the 12gb ram variant and latest 10.0.3 update installed

I didn't even know about the echo issues until someone finally mentioned it to me because we can't hear it. Only the person on the other end when they speak.

Do you happen to have call recording enabled. That only happens to me if I use it. When I don't use the recording tweak there is no echo for the other person.

Any update on this?

It's been almost a week and no echo after I applied some changes. I should note that I updated to 10.3.0 a few days and no echo did not come back. I'm not sure which of these fixed the ECHO problem but it's worth a shot if you have the same problem as me. I'm in the USA on T-Mobile network using a global version OP7P from OnePlus. I'm not saying this will fix your issue but this is what I did to fix my problem that appeared after installing 10.0.3.
1 - Download App: Activity Launcher by Adam Szalkowski
2 - Close all apps and open Activity Launcher
3 - (Inside Activity Launcher) Go to Phone Services section to Roaming:

4 - My Domestic Roaming was toggled to the left (off) for Voice & Text roaming, Data roaming. I toggled them on (to the right as seen in pic):
5 - Close window in step 4 to go back to Activity Launcher, go to Settings section to Mobile network:
6 - Made sure my Roaming, VoLTE was on and TAKE NOTICE of "PREFERRED NETWORK TYPE" and change appropriately or to what is in the screenshot:
7 - Close window in step 6 to go back to Activity Launcher, go to Phone section to Phone (phone.carrierconfiguration). Click UPDATE and it'll update for a few seconds, click UPDATE again and it'll run again for a few seconds, click on OK :
8 - Close window in step 7 to go back to Activity Launcher. Close Activity Launcher and restart phone. Make two phone calls, maybe three to be safe. The first one never echo'd for me but every call after that did when I had the problem.
I hope this helps anyone.

Echo has decided to return today...

Fix - Attempt 2
Alright, after getting a chance to play around with more settings after my Echo came back last week, it has gone away now. Here is what I did, and cross fingers this keeps it away:
1 - Download Engineering Mode APK and install: https://mega.nz/?fbclid=IwAR303Pss6...Y!YWzum5MbKIlIRJKlusBr3hyzyaiGi-2jYQWocLddgbI
2 - Close all current apps and open Activity Launcher (from previous post) and go to Engineering Mode and select Audio:
3 - Select Dual Microphone:
4 - Click on OPEN and select Use Primary Mic Only per screen shot here:
5 - Close out of all apps and restart.

8 days later and still no echo.

I have the same echo problem (it seems to be linked to the call recorder) and I tried the above method but I couldn't get it to work. It seems like the setting isn't sticking. When I tap "Open" and "Use primary MIC only", close the app, and go back into the app I find that those settings aren't clicked anymore. Was there a way to save changes before exiting?

Guys disable google assistant listening make a call and it should be gone then re enable it. That should fix the issue.

No luck for me on this one. I disabled Google assistant entirely and the echo was still there.
I did some experimenting and I found that the echo only occurs when all 3 of these things are present:
1. I have OnePlus's native call recording enabled (either through the magisk module, joneplus tools app, or a Tasker profile)
2. I am recording the call
3. It is not on speakerphone
This leads me to believe that, for whatever reason, when recording a call now (this wasn't an issue on pie) it activates the top mic and the person on the other end of the line is hearing their audio from the ear speaker through the top mic. This is why I believe skip029's suggestion would work but I can't get that engineermode audio setting to stick (I'm not sure if there is another step that I'm missing).

Hi,
I have the same issue (OnePlus 7 Pro). I've tried factory reset but the issue persists. Contacted OnePlus customer support and after telling them that I've tried factory reset and that while using bluetooth headset the echo is not present, they advised to RMA the phone. My issue is that I bought the phone from GearBest so I don't think that OnePlus will take care of this..
I've contacted GearBest, hopefully they will help with the matter.

Thank you for posting the detailed instructions. I'm having the same issue others have noted here - I can't seem to get the setting to stick. So following the directions, I still have echo. Do you have to alter some other setting in order for the setting change to be retained?

Hallo all,
I own a GW4 Classic. I used to own the GW. During walking i used to have audio messages every 1 km with the GW. It would tell me my heartbeat, average speed and so on. With my new GW4 i can't get any sound out of it. Firmware version DUJA. All notifications, system, ringtone, audio, media and so on work fine. All settings are standard, i resseted the watch twice. It should work out of the box.
The audio Guide is on and i set the frequency on one min. for instance, start walking. After one minute, it vibrates with a black screen with green letters telling me the distance. Thats all.
I can not imagine it is a hardware problem? What do you guys think?

New DUK1 firmware today, but still no luck.
Can somebody do this test please, before i send it fir repair?
1. Select activity "walking"
2. Before it starts, press the "gear wheel" at the bottom for settings.
3. Audio guide should be on.
4. Pauze should be off.
5. Frequentie put on time : 1 min.
6. Go out of settings and let it go.
7. does it give you an audio update after 1 min?
Mine just vibrates with a black screen an green text with distance.
It would be nice if somebody could help me!
Greetings,
Frank

Interesting. I have used this when cycling, while connected to my Galaxy Buds+. I've never touched the settings, and it worked just fine. Actually glad to know that I can adjust it or turn it off. Might be an obvious question, but are you using headphones/earbuds? If not, you've no doubt checked the audio settings on your watch?

Thx for your reply. I do not use headphones. I checked all the audio settings and no luck. It should work out of the box. Thats why i reset the watch before. Sound should come out of the speaker of the watch without headphones.

Right, I see that now in your original post. I would suggest you keep playing with it, trying various options, settings, etc., and not send it in for repair (at least not yet). The feature works, and in my experience, this kind of issue is most likely not a repair issue, but a setting or system limitation issue.

I am trying for 2 weeks already. Deleted the apps completely. Deleted the plugins for the watch. Reset to factory 3 times. New firmware this morning. Twice contact with Samsung. I am completely lost.....

Deleted the apps completely? Isn't that a systems app?

Don't think so Samsung wearable is an Android app. Together with a plugin it connects to your phone thru BT. Then you have Samsung health for your fitness stuff and Samsung health monitor for ECG and Blood Pressure.
I deleted all, deleted storage and cache first. Like i said, if you delete all the apps, reset the watch, and do not roll back a backup, it should be as out of the factory. Connect to Wearable app, the plugin is installed and all should work as out of the box. Nobody complains about this "audio guide" feature, so it looks like it's only my watch which is faulty.
Would be nice if i got some feedback, if other people struggle with this feature.

Thx for your post. After your remark to not send it for repair i gave it another try. Reset the watch, installed the wearable app again without restoring a backup. Guess...... it didn't work. But then i restored my latest backup. It didn't work. Then i was goin thru all the settings and i noticed one setting i could try. GENERAL > INPUT > LANGUAGE. I was able to download a Dutch language pack. And you won't believe it, but it works. I am so happy. It cost me two weeks!

That's great to hear! I figured it had to be a software issue given that you know your hardware is fine (as audio is working), so glad you found it and sorted it out in the end!

Thank you!

Few days ago I have install last firmware (photo in attach) and now i have a same problem. Almost one year I used it for running (gw4), and after every km I got audio guidence, now I only have vibration, screen turns on for a few seconds but without any voice. Any idea how to solve this irritating problem? Thanks

For me it worked to change default language on my phone (and not watch) to english. Bad solution, but it is working
