Voice commands not working. - T-Mobile LG G5 Questions & Answers

Hey all just got a g5. After the s5's screen I got two and a half weeks ago went out. Also desperately waiting for root, but anyways getting off topic. I love the phone more than I liked my g3 (So I know a pretty good deal, or not lol). Here's my question. I bought a pair of the lg tone pros. I want to use voice commands to switch artists, as well as make calls when the phone is locked. So I used the google app to change artists. Only problem is after the phone is locked it will switch artists maybe twice before it stops(using voice commands). I unlock the phone,and it'll work again. I have ok google enabled from any screen as well as trusted voice. (I turn them off when I'm not listening to music/in the car.)
The apps I'm using.
Greenify: turned off aggressive doze (thought that might be the problem.)
Phonogragh: for music.
Google app: for voice commands.
Thanks for any help. This is really the 1st time I've used vc on android. Also if this is a google app specific promblem. Anyone have any better recommendations?
If you need anymore info just let me know. Thanks again.

Bone Skeeter Beta question

Does the screen brightness short cut not work. Also it hangs sometimes when I use the network. Like market or file upload or Internet. It acts like its loading but a simple back and restart and it works. Thoughts? Where do I post issues with it. Also my defaults refresh sometimes.

Also is there a short cut way to quit a app not just minimize. With out task manager and force close. Like a quit button.

sounds like you could also benefit from learning basic ANDROID usage, not necessarily directly related to the skyrocket....
Hard to use the phone to get info. I'm learning. Trying to. Also I don't use drugs. Not nice say that. Thanks for the info though. Not the pipe comment. Lol. I will read up best I can on the phone. Will have a computer Monday then be easy

Lol. More the issue is taking one problem at a time.
And when asking for help, making your request easy to understand.
Otherwise it can seem......overwhelming
So pick one issue, do a google search, and if you still don't understand, come back here with what you found and we'll help you as much as we can.

Is it worth it?

So I've been looking at the smart watches and just wondering if they are really worth the money. I have an s3 so what features would it really have? Thanks

well i can talk only with my experience.
first of all i bought it because i need a good tool to pass through tracks in spotify without having to take out of the trausers and open the phone each time.
Then i also bought it coz i can't be all the day looking at my phone. with it i can just see which whatsapp notifications are important enough to answer.
when i had it i noticed that it also have twitter but i dt use it a lot.
the other apps for me are not very important.
hope that this small "review" helped somehow

Ok thanks man, I was gonna get one for simple, don't need to pull out the phone use. Seems like it's the watch to get, thanks again.

If you use Instant Messaging and Social apps, these are perfect.
Since you will always wear it(I assume), it will push to you notifications you would need.
There are also apps made for it(GPS Map, Calendar, Sports Trackers, etc.) that makes it better.
Can we have heart rate monitoring with the watch (with or without an ant+ band?)
I won mine at the XDA Devcon in Miami. I love it. I was missing calls from being away from my desk and the phone on silent. Now I don't. It rocks.

The best Feature is the GPS Map :thumbup:
Actually I would not leave the house without this clock!
So I am new here, however, I have been thinking of the idea of a smart watch or band, " the quotes, or in thought of...
But seems more lately watches are a thing of the past like in the movie apprenticeship, more people use their phones for checking time or setting alarms,
I do like the nfc enable features I.E phone music streaming, media playback, pedometer, so on, is Sony the brand to go with in that aspect?

No More Smartactions?

Noticed in the Play Store the Smartactions app is no longer a choice for the Ultra.
Any way I can get GPS to turn on automatically when connected to Bluetooth?

Smart Actions
I believe you can use the new APP called Assit to setup the driving profile. If you are traveling fast or have the dock it will automatically turn on the GPS and Bluetooth.
Its really new to me .. so I dont know how to customize yet...

I've been using Assist. It's working, but for some odd reason when I'm in driving mode it's not announcing caller names even though I have that option checked.
Sent from my Droid MAXX
I use llama it is free and much easier to use then tasker I am not sure if it will do what you want but it has a boat load of options. I use it to shut off data when the screen is off to conserve battery life. Not that battery life is much of an issue with the Maxx anymore.

Open mic+

Saw this great app
Get all of the features of Google Now, from anywhere on your phone, simply say "Okay Google" or wave your hand to activate.
What does this mean? Google Now becomes more conversational as after a search just say "Okay Google" to start a new one. And even better get the answers to your questions while your hands are tied, or when you're on the couch, or in the car.

Try another app called "Utter!"
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This app is like a port of feature found in moto X. always on mic. and accessing google now..
Cool. Utter seems to be similar too
Sent from my GT-I9305 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Utter is fantastic, I use it as a hands free when I am driving
How does either of these affect the battery? I know the Moto X has the X8 with the language processor which I'm guessing reduces the cpu load needed to keep the mic listening.
Any noticeable changes on your battery life?
Wow utter makes awesome job at first glance. But needs updates. Isn't even able to write sms...

[APP REQUEST] Motorola Assist Modification

I was wondering if any developers would be willing to look in to the Moto Assist app, I know there's a few of us that would like to be able to toggle the driving functionality on and off at will.
I work from home programming, so it's great to be able to just vocally tell my phone to read me texts, or answer calls... but then I'd like to be able to turn it off when I go out to dinner haha. I've already tried work-arounds like forcing car mode on, or downloading other apps. Nothing works as well as the stock Moto Assist app, but unfortunately it only works when I'm driving, it must pull from the GPS.
Anyway, if someone could look into this that would be awesome, it's a bit beyond my ability regrettably. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
Like being able to say.. "okay Google now. Turn on moto assist"

Jeez, this is quite a shock coming from the Galaxy Nexus. I didn't realize developers for this phone would be so sparse.

No kidding. :|
I'll see if I can get around to decompiling the APK today and poke around. Hopefully I can bypass the driving check at worst and just have it always on, or always off.

+1 I think I'll donate $5 to anyone who does this
I thought of this one too
Look at these weird permissions assist has maybe we just need an app with these permissions

EDIT
New finding in SmartActionsHanashi.apk ... there's a service com.motorola.hanashi.CommunicationMediatorService (my guess on which service it is) and I think (I dont do much reverse engineering) we just need an app to activate the service after we edit the SmartActionsHanashi.apk to make the service exported (it is false ATM)...
I would try it myself but with no root I cant reinstall the SmartActionsHanashi.apk
Edit like 4
SmartActionsHanashi.apk also has all of the right resources. so i am 90% sure that this is the apk we are looking for.
If anyone would like to try my idea PM me, you WILL need root.

In all fairness, it's a completely different situation. I know with my Droid DNA it took MONTHS to see anything other than slightly modded stock ROMs.
I'm sure the Moto X community will pick up in the next few months but that being said i'll probably get a Nexus 5 to satisfy my urges.

New development assist app uses new modified smart actions app and there are rules in here that correspond to assist actions but using the ones they have all I can do is confuse the phone..... There are also strange actions that don't do anything except if in the driving sleeping meeting actions ....in the pictures I'm sitting at my desk but in the status bar you can see I'm "driving" but no texts are read and music didn't start either....
Sent from my XT1058 using Tapatalk 4
Edit the command i got to open the assist engine is
adb shell
su? idk i just used it
[email protected]:/ # am start com.motorola.contextual.smartrules2/.app.AboutActivity
AOV is Touchless Controls
I believe LED is Active Notification
use with caution i probably messed up my assist just now
Is anyone still working on this by chance? The only thing about my Moto X that I wish was different is having the ability to switch having the phone read my texts aloud on and off at will. I'm surprised that such a useful feature is limited to only driving when there are so many situations where it would be useful. Being able to do this without needing root access would be ideal.
This would be very useful and definitely be awesome for a work environment.
I am going to try and do it again. I have some new ideas on how to do it!
Will post in here and make a new thread if profit is achieved :fingers-crossed:
I would defiantly donate $10 for this.
Profit
