HI XDA COMMUNITY!
So I had this problem long time ago, even before I root my device.
The Google Voice Search doesn't seem to work, (It worked before), when I tap the mic icon, it pops "Unfortunately, Google Search has stopped" but for few milliseconds.
So a screenshot is impossible.
This video says it all (click it, i dont have any idea how to embed google drive vid here):
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4oOYQXQ5YyIanNsdXBhcy1sbkE&authuser=0
In this video I tried to clear the app data, which is the other people's workaround but nothing changed.
Sorry about the unclarity of the vid, I am a framerate freak so I need all my frames in this vid.
Captured using SCR Pro root.
ANY WORKAROUND THAT I CAN DO?
My phone is rooted, so it's possible to install system level .apk
But I don't want to flash (had a bad experience in flashing).
TQ.

I deleted the Youtube application on my phone, and i can't watch youtube videos anymore or other videos online.
Anyone hwo could help me?
Go to the Market, download it again. Just search for Youtube.
I found mny YouTube applications, but non of them is the same as i got on my phone. I tried to download a couple of the applications i found, but i still got the message "No applications can perform this action".
If you had the old version of the YouTube app, you wont find it on the market. The new one is slightly different but maintains the same functionality. It'll say Google as the developer.

Maybe I'm stupid but I could not find any youtube apps by google when I searched for "youtube"
I'm fairly sure it's only available if you have 2.2.
Are you rooted?
Yes, i'm rooted
I got android 2.1 (x10 mini pro), does that mean that I cant install it again?
It should still come up. Google made it modular like Gmail so that different versions of Android could run it. For now you can play Youtube videos from the youtube mobile website. Those will play with the Android's built-in video player.
EDIT: This is the app. http://www.appbrain.com/app/youtube/com.google.android.youtube
Either use AppBrain or search the Market for "com.google.android.youtube"
When I click the link "download directly from the android market" in the page you linked to, I get the message "the requested item could not be found".
Try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817528
Well, should never uninstalled it in the first place.
I tried the method you linked to, but when i was going to install the application I got the message "Application not installed".
Now that we see that an external microphone will work on the Fire, we can start testing apps that require a mic. I'm not a Google Voice or Skype user, so someone with those accounts needs to try them on the Fire.
I did install Vlingo, a speech-to-text app, and tried it. When I speak into it, I get the message "An unexpected server error occurred. Please try again." I'm connecting through the same wifi network that my smartphone is, and Vlingo is working fine on the phone. I can't see why it doesnt work on the Fire...
Now I just installed a speech-to-text app called (appropriately) Speech To Text. When I try it, I get "Runtime Error - No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.speech.action.RECOGNIZE_SPEECH (has extras)}", with a button to End Application.
Both probally need google search and voice search to work. voice search is the backbone for most of the speech recognition apps out there, hence the no activity error.

I'm sure you're right. Up to now I haven't seen the need to root because I could live without the Google apps on it, but now I may want to.
Google Voice Search (com.google.android.voicesearch-1.apk) installed for me but gives an Audio Problem error and Google Search (GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk) doesn't want to install. Looks like there's a little more work to be done so you might not want to root just yet if this is all you were going to do.

Thanks for the heads up. At this point, that would be the only reason I would root, but if it won't work, I'll wait.
I installed the pre-rooted stock kernel from k0nane. I don't know if it was working prior to this. Anyway, I noticed that Google navigation was not speaking street names, and thought it was the problem that a lot of users were having. But when I go to Settings...Voice Input and Output...Text-to-Speech I get a force close every time. Clearly TTS is not working in ANY app. How to fix?

Stock non-rooted and stock rooted are the same minus superuser.... but you can try to wipe davlik/cache.
Problem solved - 1) I'm an idiot and 2) Never use My Backup Pro to freeze apps (though it was nice to move stuff between phones). I had frozen some TTS-related stuff that I shouldn't have, and they wouldn't defrost despite repeated attempts. Will stick with Titanium from now on.
On a related note if you change the speech engine to the Samsung one and tell it to override app settings, you get some interesting results in google nav. It reads out a bunch of XML and then gives you the direction, a couple minutes late.
I just cannot seem to figure this out..
I cannot get voice input to work on anything other than the S Voice program that came pre-installed on my phone.
I would like to use it when I text but the stock keyboard does not seem to have the microphone icon on it anymore. Now before you jump and say "I got this" I already know about the hold the settings icon in the lower left and choose the microphone. Only when I do it I dont get 4 icons, I only get 3 and the microphone isnt one of them.
I installed SKYVI from the Play Store and it tells me that my device does not support voice input. Well clearly it does, S Voice works so I checked all my settings but cannot get it working anyplace else. Same thing with the Swiftkey keyboard... it has a microphone icon but when pressed, nothing happens.
This is an Odin rooted stock ROM, nothing special about it at all. Anyone else ever see this before?
Does it work with Google Now? Have you tried the new Swype beta http://beta.swype.com/? This works for me but my not my keyboard of choice, messageease

I dont know what Google Now is.. didnt see any mention of it in the Play store..
I did find this out though.. a lot of these voice apps use Google's "Voice Search" app. The Play store says I have it installed but when I search my phone I dont see it. The "My Android Apps" section of the Play store also says I have it installed on my device, and also mentions its a system app of some kind. But I dont have it, and cant install it from the Play store because its "already installed". I think if I can find the APK for this program, I can probably solve my problem? Anyone have a copy or know where I can get it?
FIXED!

I went online and did some searches away from XDA and found out what Google Now is.. looks pretty slick..
But I also managed to fix my voice input problem. Reading about Google Now got me to thinking.. I opened Root Explorer and went in to System/Apps and there was an APK of something called VoiceSearchStub.apk .. it had a different icon than I was expecting but I went ahead and installed it. I now have a Voice Search icon installed and the voice input on the keyboard now works. But for the life of me I do not know why it was not there in the first place!
I have installed Keep on my watch it just says notes syncing. I have granted files permission. Anyone got Keep working? Phone is Note 20 ultra 5g android 10.
How did you install on watch? I tried multiple ways with no success. When I go out to play page I'm only able to install to phone.

Play store on watch
I have installed Google keep on watch and it has synced my notes, however it is missing a Search button/function which makes the app worthless for me...

How did you install it? Did you have to change any permissions or anything on the phone to get it to sync?
Hi, I don't remember any specific issues, just went to the Play store and tapped on the option available/install on other devices (GW4). If you have issues, you may try to look up the APK (from APKmirror or similar) and ADB side load it on the watch. As I have tried sideloading on the watch also the phone app (because of the missing search function on the watch app) and it opens but does not seem to be able to search either and frequently crashes maybe because of insufficient RAM. Finally I tried using a chrome browser app on my watch (sideloaded again from a watch APK) and by using the web interface of Google Keep and it works but is a mixed experience due to interface not being optimized for a watch/ circular screen etc
Anyone have any luck getting Google Keep to stop syncing? I've tried reinstalling on the watch and phone, clearing various caches, etc. No luck. I only have five notes, so it shouldn't be a heavy lift.
I´ve also installed keep on my GW4 from the play store on the watch. And it also keeps syncing. When I´m fast enough after app start and click on one of my 3 notes, it opens and I can edit successfully.
I had these issues in the past also on notes for smartphone but on some update they fixed it. I guess we have to wait for an app update from Google. In the meantime, we´ve to pull out our smartphone during shopping
Similar to the previous post, if I open Keep and quickly select "Show All", it'll of course post the "Syncing" banner.
But then, I leave the app (right swipe), open Keep again and quickly scroll down my Notes before the banner can display, I'll see my million+ notes.
Sometimes I have to re-enter the app again and scroll quickly to the bottom of the list again before the banner displays, but it'll work - at least for me.
Hope this helps!
And I hope Google fixes this! Don't they test their code??
Have the same issue. Literally nothing works on this POS.

Got an update to Keep on the phone today, and it appears to have fixed the syncing issue! You'll have to uninstall Keep from your watch, then re-install it, but so far so good!
