Hey all,
I originally posted this issue via the link below...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473003
I have not been able to resolve this, despite much effort and trying just about everything to fix it.
I just tried Navigation tonight and encountered this very issue again. Basically, after about 40 seconds navigating to a destination, the phone goes crazy and a female voice starts dictating a bunch of garbage web url's and this continues until you actually end the task/app. I can't figure out why this is happening. The only voice recognition software I have installed is the standard Voice Search app. That works fine. It is when you navigate that this starts happening.
Some of you here and elsewhere stated it can be an issue when installing a new voice recognition tool. However, that doe not apply to me here, as I have not installed any other app specific to this feature.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Maybe try toggling the "text to speach" voice function to see if that clears it up? Or clearing phone cache & davlick?
Thanks. Will try. Been told to do a bunch of other stuff as well.
BTW, Pico or Samsung for text-to-speech engine? Which one should I use or which is best? I'm assuming Google?
I did recently clear cache and davlick. That didn't seem to fix anything though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am new to rooting phones and this HTC One X was a first for me, I tried several times nearly bricking until I figured it out. I am now content running the Viper Rom, it sems to be the best one for me, I am on 3.2.6 and I will list all the phone info and stats at the end of the post. My question is about the Speech Recognition software. I had an icon on my keyboard for texting but it has gone away. I have tried for hours to find a setting that would allow me to turn it back on, but no luck. I had a look in my widgets and could not find a Google search widget (I believe it was there before). I have downloaded the Gingerbread keyboard from the app store and tried it, but it also has no microphone icon on it. At one point (Iam not sure how I got it) an error message popped up an said the Speach Recognition App was not working or not installed, I really do not remember as I only saw the message once. I have downloaded several texting apps like Chomp and Hancent but none of them have the speech to text option either. I am not sure when I broke it or how, I have installed the Kingbeatz sound package but it still worked after that. I do not want to start over and reflash the ROM as I have everything the way I like it now. I do have a couple of other issues, but they are not as important to me as the talk-to-text feature as I use it while driving a lot.
Thanks for any help

How was it fixed???
I have the same issue!!!
Hello all. First time seeker of information as my searches are coming up negative.
Phone is verizon SGS3 (SCH-I535) with 4.1.2 installed. It is rooted, and everything has been backed up in titan. No custom ROMS but clockwork recovery is installed.
Recently I went though and froze/uninstalled some bloatware, after a full titan backup was performed. So everything can be restored, if need be.
More pertinent information, I use the "Keyboard from Android 2.3" app to use the gingerbread keyboard. Swype and samsung keyboards are also installed.
The functionality I lost was the speech to text. Using the gingerbread and swype keyboard there's a microphone to record voice and put it to text. I've unfrozen and reinstalled all the s memo, and s suggest apps thinking that these were the culprits from preventing this function from working. (As of now gingerbread says "No matches found" and Swype just says nothing).
Does anyone know what process or app controls the speech to text? My language is set up, the TTS is set up, but nothing seems to recognize my voice for conversion to text.
Thank you.

I use Google Voice as my main phone number and I never had a problem just installing the Google app and having my calls routed through it, but on this phone a get a "Call Not Sent" error. I searched and it seems this is an issue with other Huawei phones, but didn't find any solution. Any ideas?
Can anyone test to confirm it's an issue? Would flashing a Gapps package help?
maybe, cuz flashing gapps package would make them system apps. just make sure u have enough space left on your system partition...

I deleted some system apps and installed open gapps mini. No luck, still getting the same error. Is it possible to replace the phone apk (not dialer), or is that too tied to the hardware?
I've been using the phone for a couple days now, and I'd hate to give it for such a small (but fundamental) bug...
I found a solution: make Google voice a system app

please explain
i still can't figure it out
Actually it may have been a fluke... I placed one single call and confirmed with the other party it was my Google voice number. Now it isn't working again.
I think I may have fixed it. I copied in some telecom files from AOSP. So far I'm like 5 calls and 2 reboots in and it's holding. I'm going to try to update to the new L-29 OTA, root and then follow the same process. If it works, I'll post the ROM. If it's like what I'm on right now, it's a very nice mix of EMUI and AOSP since most of the Huawei stuff is gone, except some of the handy features, and all the Google stuff is loaded and working.
maybe you could also include a howto, which files to add where so that others may cook up their own emui/aosp mix

To be honest, I'm really not 100% sure, I kind of brute forced through the testing. What I do know: replacing a couple telecom framework and binaries from the 6P factory image (figured might as well use this), and installing Google voice as a system app, I have gotten it to work every time (for me) as long as it is set to prompt for every call. If set to "use Google voice for all calls", it breaks. My guess is it's a timing issue (emui telecom not giving Google voice the time it needs to make the connection).
I'll attach the ZIP file with all of the telecom components I used (NOTE THAT USING PRIV-APP COMPONENTS -IE TELECOM.APK, SEEMS TO CAUSE A BOOTLOOP).
Also, here is a link to my TWRP backup of my current system. It is 152 with a full Gapps package, Google voice as a system app and the telecom components Frankensteined in. Hopefully it will work on your devices, but just in case it bricks it I won't be giving out my address, least I get picketed

Still no real solution. The ask every time trick works without having to do anything with making Google Voice a system app and it only works 90% of the time.
Can anyone else confirm this issue? I'm discussing it with the vendor I purchased from, they're claiming it works perfectly

This is an old post with little activity, and yet I have this same problem. I have tried all the app setting and permissions, the battery setting etc, but the Mate 8 seems incompatible with Google Voice. The app install fine, sets up normally, and incoming calls to my Google Voice number work. It is just dialing out. All dials get the message "call not sent" and the dialer screen returns to befor the call was placed. The log also does not show an attempted call. I have tried alternative dialers from the play store, but none work. Has anyone solved this, or are there just very few people using Google Voice with this particular phone.
I've been having this same issue and have had the best results just setting it to "ask every time", no other tricks needed.

"Ok Google" not working "This feature is currently unavailable for this language"
Hi everyone.
I've got a K30 Pro Zoom couple of days ago and since then I'm trying to make "Ok google" work but I always get the same grey button with the script "This feature is currently unavailable for this language"
I'm in a chinese ROM, MIUI 12.0.9, but it happened to me also in Miui 11.
I've tried to change the language to every other available, same thing with region, I've unistalled and reinstalled google app and assitant several times...but no fix.
Any help?
Thank you.

I had the same question before and have tried multiple actions, including adding the adb log to check.
This is not related with language.
I never made Chinese ROM works for that. Someone told me OK google detection needs to make the Google app as system app, so the Hotword permission can be granted, but I never made it work
Global ROM works.

Thank you for the info.
I've just asked to open the bootloader to move to another ROM.

Hello linuxwalkers
Thank you for the previous answer, I finally got "Ok Google" working 90% with xiaomi.eu ROM.
The issue I'm facing now is that it only works when the phone is unlocked.
When is locked, or screen off, it triggers "you nned to unlock your device" every time I say a command.
I went through every configuration as "Display personal results in lcoscreen", "Allow assitant to work on lockscreen"...
Did you manage to make it work when the phone is locked?
Thank you
