I tried downgrading Google app, delete Google catch and data, restarts, checked that voice&audio activity is on via the website, defualt language for google products is english usa, voice & search language is eng usa, checked microphone permission is on, google tts is on, offline voice is up to date, Tried to convert to system app.
What else can I do?

Hello everybody,
i usually use a lot Google Maps and i've always been annoyed by this thing: i've installed IVONA Text-to-Speech HQ (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivona.tts) (which i suggest because it's great) as my default TTS Engine, but Google Voice keeps switching between Ivona and his internal TTS (the Google one, i think).
So, 10 phrases are said by IVONA, 2 or 3 by Google, and so on for all the trip.
I hate it, mostly because the Google TTS can't spell (italian) road names and gives only vague informations.
I've even tried to freeze Pico-TTS with Titanium, but it doesn't change a thing.
Any suggestions?
Dear Forum,
Since the Android 7 (Nougat) update I can not longer perform updates/downloads with Play Store when I'm ROAMING. For the rest everything works well. I have a Galaxy S7 with T-Mobile Netherlands sim only Go Unlimited NL + EU (internet out of one bundle). When i'm in my home country i have no problems.
Have already tried a lot including emptying the caches Google Play Store, Download Manager, Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, Dalvik cache emptied and Google Account removed and added again.
Regards,
Michel

May be a third party app interruption such as Freedom.
Do you have freedom installed? or is your device rooted?
If so, you could download the app called total commander and navigate to /file system root/system/etc/hosts and edit the host file and delete everything then add "127.0.0.1 localhost"
Or you mentioned you emptied caches and removed google account.
Did you force stop the app, clear cache and data then uninstall google play store updates and remove google account THEN reboot phone and open google app and see if it works?
If all fails simply do a reset.
When I try to use the Google Voice app, it launches and gets stuck at the "Sign in to your Google Account" screen, with a brief message at the bottom that says "Failed retrieving accounts." It works fine on my Nexus 4 running Nougat (Lineage). Anyone able to use the Google Voice app on the Pixel 2?
I also notice some other weird account behavior, like in the maps app, in the side pane, I don't see my account name to sign in, but I do see it in a pop up if I click on "add account" (and can log in with maps--as well as Play and other apps).
Any thoughts what's up with Google Voice? Uninstalling it and reinstalling it did not help. Neither did restarting the phone several times.

[Edit: OMG, I answered my own question after futzing with this for more than an hour. It turned out that Google Play Services did not have permission to access contacts on my device and that caused the weirdness on Google Voice and Maps also.
So I went to: Apps & Notifications > All apps > Google Play services > Permissions and then flipped the switch to enable contacts.
I guess when the pop up says, "If you deny this permission, basic features of your device may no longer function as intended," they mean it. When I was disabling some of this stuff, I figured Google was just trying to scare me away from giving them more personal information (which Google probably considers a basic feature).
The funny thing is that on my Nexus 4 with Lineage, Google Play services has permission to access contacts, in the same place in the settings. But then in the Privacy Guard settings I set it to ignore requests to read or modify contacts from Google Play services and that apparently does not interfere with how it manages accounts. In fact, Privacy Guard says Google Play services has never tried to read or modify my contacts, even though it apparently needs permission to do so or won't work correctly. Weird.]
In my case it was not a permissions issue. My Google Play Services was very old and not updating itself. Loading the latest APK fixed the issue with Google Voice (via Apkmirror). I could not even update from the Play Store.
Since few months ago, voice search in google maps, chrome, youtube, etc has been barely working. It would search/recognize my voice using my device language instead of the language I have set in the google app.
Using voice search in the google app seems fine since it uses the google assistant "popup layout" and gboard is fine too.
My main issue here is that my device language is Chinese Traditional (Hong Kong) which usually means traditional text but mandarin language, but what I have set in the google app was Cantonese (Hong Kong).
It started happening ever since April 2020 when google announced they are going to replace the pre-assistant voice search UI with assistant UI.
If there are any questions, please feel free to reply, Thanks!
Hello,
I would like to open some discussion regarding the GMS and all workarounds and restoring unknown backups! if you check the info.xml file within any of these backups you would find model, build, identification, and serials different from what you have!! and running some Chinese application that has devices administrator with all privileges on your devices!
I know that vanced youtube is using microg project for adding google account. is it possible to have something similar for chrome and maps? I mean microg-chrome or microg-maps?
Thanks

I was having issues with some location based apps. For instance google maps and a dating/hookup app. Google Maps would open and then immediately force close. The dating app would say that this app cant run without google play services which your device is not eligible for. What I did: Factory reset phone-install GMS-Made sure all of my accounts were logged into-Installed all apps that I wanted from play store-Then I used an app to freeze google play services and Google services framework-uninstalled the play store.
I then opened my dating app and bam it worked where as before it couldnt detect my location. All was good with that. As far as Google Maps it would still immediately force close, so I uninstalled it. I installed an earler version of Google Maps before my mate 30 pro 5g was released and bam. It worked. My account is logged into and Maps works perfectly with no force closes. I tested it twice now as far as navigation goes. I also had a problem with the Google Voice app. It said having problems retrieving your accounts. This was before I used an app to freeze Google services framework and play services. When I opened Google voice after the freeze, everything went perfect and it recognized my accounts.
As far as apps goes I use petal search to find any apps or apkpure.
Hope this helped!
By the way here is the freeze app that I used. Just follow the instructions to install and then freeze those two Google apps:
