The smart text select feature isn't working on my phone. I am on stock with no root.
Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas to fix this?
Spoke to Google support and they couldn't identify the issue and have promised a call back tomorrow.
Wanted to see if anybody else has encountered and fixed this. :laugh:
Indeed, the only option it is giving me is to translate the text even if it is a phone number...

Weird right?
How about others? Do you still have the smart text selection feature?
I got mine to work with Phone and Maps... It states specifically it doesn't work in text messages so where exactly are you trying to get it to work?
It doesn't work anywhere.. If I select a number or address it just gives me the option to copy.

The smart text select did not work for me even after a factory reset. Upon some pondering I realised that it has never worked from the time I had given my phone to Google for repair and it was returned to me.
I have now flashed the Android P Developer preview and everything works including the smart select. :laugh:

Flashed 8.1 again, and the smart select has disappeared. This is so frustrating.
It's only working for me on 8.0 and Android P developer preview. Doesn't work on any of the 8.1 builds.
Can't find any settings for this feature either.
Does anyone have any idea to fix this?

I recently flashed JB to my atrix 2 and i have the following problems :
1. Whenever I receive a text message, the app adds a prefix to the number (+40 in my case) and it won't recognize the person's name because they appear in my contact list without the +40 in front. How can I stop it from adding that to the number?
2. I tried overclocking using this method, but it won't do anything. I have a 1.0 GHz device (sadly) and i tried both 1.1 and 1.2, but they don't do anything. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem?
I also have a problem with the GPS, but I don't think there is a solution to this one, as i noticed that i'm not the only one.

Thats weird.. its working fine for me with text messages too.. Try a cache and dalvik cache wipe from custom recovery, maybe that'll sort it out..

Just did that. No difference. I'm starting to think that my only chance is to modify all the contacts to that phone number format I also tried with other messaging apps, but still no difference. This is frustrating.

Ok, I mightve found a solution to your problem..
Select Assisted Dialing in Phonebook/Settings/Assited Dialing and then Select your country code, this will automatically add the country code to all numbers (i think) and sort your problem.. Hope this works :good:

That also did nothing. I think there's no way to fix this but changing the numbers manually. Is there some software from motorola with which i can do this from the computer?

Do you have contacts database on your SIM Card?
-- If the answer is: yes - you sync these contacts with your google acount, and then erase the sim contacts, reboot, set your gogle account as defoult in People --> Menu --> Contacts to display. It's work for me.
-- If the answer: No. I dont have any idea.

My Oneplus gets "This is a lost phone" message intermittently every day with my loud ringtone. It stops when I press the okay button. This is despite me having it in silent mode.
Since this happens only during my office hours, where I have to leave my phone silent always, I am unable to investigate it rather than just press the OK button and it disappears.
I have my device manager activated in the phone. Thought it was previously my Theftie app which was activated, which I deactivated but the message keeps coming on every day.
Any way how to stop this?

next time as soon as the incident happens , can you check which wakelock was running ? Use wakelock detector app from google play.
It would be interesting which application is invoking this event !!
I did download wakelock detector but it says it needs root access since KitKat upgrade. Maybe will root it when time permits.
Meanwhile had another instance of the event, when I received a text from an number not in the Contacts. If I remember correctly, it happened yesterday as well when I received a text from a number not in Contacts list.
Really annoying that it happened during a meeting.

Make a Backup and do a factory reset.

Just throwing out ideas here, are your Locations turned on ? Maybe since it came from the US and you moved to the UK it "sees" that you are not in the US anymore and that is why it is doing this ?

I do have the Location turned on most of the time. Even when I got it in US from oneplus directly, I have used my same UK sim there as well on roaming.
I have done a backup and reset and it sill happens!
Block the text number and uncheck the settings in device manager and change your gmail password. If it still works after a factory reset and make sure you do not restore your software. It sounds like what I do to my son when he does not pick up the phone I make it ring and I do it through device manager because I have his info...
Did you initially bought it from OnePlus, or did you buy it from another user?

How many text numbers can I block? SInce I am in sales, I get many calls and texts from numbers not in my contact list.
I have unchecked the settings in the device manager and deactivated it. Changed the gmail password a week ago as well, and the problem persists

Yes, done all that is possible. Only thing remaining is rooting the phone (i dont want to unlock the bootloader for that thought)
You could try doing a Backup und then a factory reset.

Quit sure you can block quite a few... If all of what we have suggested still does not work may I suggest you selling your phone and buying another one. Hey try putting sim card in another phone and see if that phone has the same result
I constantly have notifications from Download Manager of a file being downloaded. It never finishes and is there until I finally clear Download Manager's data. It will then go away until the next time when it's another file. The filenames change each time. Currently the file name up is image013.png but other times it's things like attachments in emails from my gmail. Tapping on the notification does nothing. Long pressing on it gives me the App Info option which then takes me to Download Manager's app info.
The app info has the option to not show notifications but then I wonder if this is a symptom of a problem and these would just build up.
Facing the same issue on my Z3 Dual.
It happened the first time I was on a roaming network.

The same problem with my z3 dual . Clearing your cache does not help. It is interesting that not every location it happens. The file that is downloaded is called "untitled"

I also did this some days ago and haven't had issues since then. I hope it is fixed in future updates.
I'm also having the same issue. Download Manager keeps trying to download something but I don't know what it is.
Mine says: "downloading_this_message_in_html.html"
When I go into Download Manager App Info, I can Force Close it. The button to Clear Cache is selectable but when I press it, it does nothing (there's no response).
----
I even tried Factory Reset using Sony's PC Companion on Windows but the issue is still there after I get the phone to what I want it to be.
----
My solution is to just Turn Off Notification for Download Manager App.
My concern is, I hope it's not draining any battery since it might be running in the background and I'm just not seeing it cause I have notification turned off.
SONY!!!! What the heck man!
THIS THE BEST YOU CAN DO?!! Sony needs to get better QA testers.

Now that I think about it, I think the last time this happened to me I still had my D6633, I sold it and I'm using a D6603 for the past 3 weeks.
Does anyone know the most effective way to make Sony aware of this?
the Z3 dual isn't as visible as the other models as it is such a niche product, we have to make sure Sony gets wind of this, else further firmwares may not fix!
Same problem for me. Dual sim.

Im having the same problem with my z3 dual. Its a never ending download. I went to the sony xperia official forum xperia care site. Brought up this problem. First they told me to clear cache. It didnt work . Next they told me to clear data. It stopped for awhile then it came back again. Next, sony support told me told re- format everything using a windows laptop...took a long time, it didnt work either. What i noticed is this problem occurs when im on 3g or lte network. When i turn on wifi...then the unending download stops. When i turn off wifi, and go back to 3g or lte, it starts again. It goes on a loop...its obviously a software problem...needs an update. Even sony care cannot solve. They have gone quiet since the last time i logged in...no answer til now...

I've tried doing that but the damned notification pops up again. I have for the moment turned off notifications from download manager. But I am sure it is working in the background trying to download random stuff. Anyone knows if there is a fix/update for this? Its driving me crazy.
Thankful to the person who posted it on Reddit (But no good responses yet). Hopefully through this platform we can get some help.
So I don't know if this is bothering anyone else, but the app drawer search takes forever to load and for the keyboard to show up - by that I mean 5 seconds or so, but it's still crazy when the nova search is instant. Is anyone else having the same problem?
PS: Even with the new TouchWiz update, issue still exists.
Please Help.

Not sure just pictures would cause this but you might try a factory data reset. I'd wait a bit and see if you get anymore suggestions first.
After updating to Android Pie, I can no longer use Ok Google or manually hit the mic for the google app. I can type and use it though. Just the microphone option is broken for some weird reason.
I've tried everything. Factory reset, fastboot formats, clear app cache/data, ect... If you know what's wrong, let me know. Never had this before with any of my phones. Almost seems like an issue on Google's side?

I had this issue in oreo when I messed up with system apps.
It got fixed with complete fresh install of Pie.
There were two scenarios;
Upgraded from oreo to pie - didn't worked
I freshly installed HavocOS, I was surprised that OK google still won't work - have to tap mic button everytime.
Completely wiped phone, used MSMtool.
Restored to 5.1.5
Wiped again with TWRP
Installed Android Pie again.
Then it started working.
Conclusion- it seemed google side problem as it said I had already saved voice model on other phone ( oreo) and I could not retrain.
And there were no fixes on XDA OR reddit.

I've done a fresh install multiple times. Tried flashing thru TWRP as well. Only things I haven't tried are ADB sideloads and MSMTool. I'm in the process right now. It's working right now, we'll see if Android Pie works too.
MSMTool fixed it. Guess flashing thru MSMTool is better than the .bat files on the guide I was following. Thanks for the help @drmjp93.
Edit: Not fixed. Soon as the Google app updates, it breaks.

Yes may be its related to accounts, as during voice training it said I cannot train new voice as my account has already one saved.
I contacted them. It was an automated reply or a third person - an volunteer talks with us.
But if u do, do ask them to clear your trained voice saved to your account.
I don't know but I did every possible thing to get it working back.
Just ask them in particular to delete your all Voice related settings and activity.

Spoke with google support, they tried pretty much everything I've tried. They told me to report it to the developer's. Am I really the only one having this issue? I find it hard to believe I'm the only one having this issue on Android Pie now. Is your Google app widget working when you manually search?
Yes bro it works.
And regarding you are only the one is incorrect.
There are random ppl affected.
Including me but it was magically solved.
