My phone stopped receiving commute notification (xx minutes to work /home) - General Questions and Answers

I am using Google Pixel 2XL. It was working fine before the quarantine few months ago, but stopped working when I got back to work. I have reinstalled google maps and enable all the notification and related settings. I even tried the same with my other phone using another google account with no success. Anyone with the same issues?

google voice nitifacations - not working

Hey guys recently google voice has stopped downloading my voice-mails correctly and completely stopped notifying me on my sms received.
Im using Jellyshot rom on my nexus s.
I tried reinstalling but no go.
I recently ran fix permissions and then upon booting it worked once then stoped again.
Has anyone else had this issue? Wondering if its a google voice problem (as reading posts on their app review in play store) or an issue with my rom. It works normally on my nexus 7 tab unrooted so this is really boggling me.

OK Google on any screen strangely appears and disappears

I was very keen to try this feature, so I updated the Google Search app to the latest one (3.5.14). Sadly, the feature has not yet provided to my google account, and so I wait.
But funny things happened this morning after I flash the developer version of Android L to my Nexus 5. There was an screen prompting me to say "OK Google" 3 times to activate Google Now on any screen. There were 3 options in my Google Now Voice settings: enable it from home screen, any screen, and lock screen.
I was indeed very surprised and delightful, however such a thing only last 3 minutes. It suddenly stopped. As for now I speak, 2 of those 3 options in voice settings are gone. However there is still an option to enable Audio History (image attached).
I'm guessing this is because the OK Google on any screen is location based and currently only works on several countries picked by Google itself. If that's the case I'm very certain the Americans will be the first. Can someone clarify?

It isn't regional. Its random Google Accounts.
I'm not sure, I'm in America and I had it working before and now it's not. Weird. I just tried again and I can't get it working. Maybe something on Google's end? I'm lost, too.

Well it's good to know it's not merely my fault. At first I began to think my voice is not qualified for activating Google Now lol.
It seems that currently we can only wait, let me know if yours works again

I had the same issue. I was on Android L and after about a day of using it, the options appeared. The text said "when screen is on OR charging" so I was curious to see if we could get always listening while charging. I put it on the charger and the options disappeared and never came back. I'm back on 4.4.4 and I still don't see it.
It's definitely server sider on Google's end. I too had it for a little bit, but it is now gone as well. Google is deploying it per account like they do with anything so it's not fully available yet and ready for use. Expect to see it enabled over the next few weeks.
There's already a fix! http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/29qya0/if_you_do_not_have_ok_google_everywhere_on_your/
Try it on, I got it working (for now, at least)

CM12.1 and Android Auto: "Connection Error 7"

I'm currently on the latest CM12.1 Sultan-Mod. Last week I got a new car which supports Android Auto (Volkwsagen Columbus Headunit), at the beginning I got a connection a few times, but all the time with frequent connection losses ("Error: USB Device" shown on Headunit), the longest period it worked was about 1 hour. Today on my phone I got the message "Communication Error 7", now it's not possible to get a stable connection at all.
I've tried removing the car from the auto app and removing the auto app but without success. Has anybody been able to get a working connection between a CM12.1 device and a car?
Missing features after resetting mobile
Hi,
I am using OPO with CM 12.1. Yesterday i have reset my mobile and few apps and features (Screen Pinning,Screenshot,Menu button ) are missing after resetting my mobile. Please let e know the solution.
I've tried different CM13 Nightlies and CM12.1 without success now. Seems like Android Auto won't work with the OPO at the moment.
For future notice, I was having this same problem all of a sudden on my Nexus 6P, found how to fix it.
Uninstall updates for Google Play Services, it's a buggy install that is doing it. Found a few other forums talking about it, did it myself, and even after it re-updated, everything is working fine. I had to plug it in and unplug it several times, and it finally gave me all of the prompts again to start like new.

Assistant Not Working

My (Google purchased) Pixel, which is rooted on the May update and utilizing the V3 boot signor, is having troubles running Google Assistant. Has anyone else dealt with this issue? I can get to the screen where you 'train' Google Assistant to listen to your voice say "OK Google" but for some reason, it doesn't hear me at all....
Any thoughts on this one??
Thanks!
I had the same issue. GA just randomly stopped working and I couldn't get the voice training to work. I turned the phone off completely. A complete shutdown, no reboot. Gave it about 30 seconds and turned it back on. Went into the settings and then tried again and everything worked just fine. No issues since.
Have you checked if your microphone works in other apps or while in a call? This phone has known issues with the microphone failing.

Phone functionality intermittently lost after upgrading to P

If my phone is on for more than 10 minutes, I lose calling functionality. When I try to call someone, it freezes and the Pixel becomes unresponsive, forcing me to hold down power for 10 seconds for a reboot. After this, it works just fine for another 10 or so minutes.
I have no idea when calling functionality begins to be lost because I can still send and receive texts, but I can't make or receive calls. I don't even get a wave of missed calls or anything when it works after a reboot.
Google Assistant has it's own issues when this happens too. It won't come up with "Hey, Google" at all. When I long press the home button, Google Assistant comes up, but I just get the floating dots. Fortunately, it doesn't freeze when I try this. Restart the phone and I'm good for about 10 minutes or so. I tried installing 3rd party calling apps, but the problem persists.
Hoping this is a Pie issue and waiting for the next security patch, will likely do a sideload flash-all. Any suggestions as to what the problem is from? Could my SIM card be the problem? Any apps I could try to help narrow down the issue? I had no issues with Oreo.
Thanks in advance.
Tried rebooting in safe mode. Slightly similar results: works fine for about 10 minutes but then it's just the mic not working. I can make and receive calls with out the phone freezing, but no mic.

I have a similar issue with a used Pixel I purchased. I couldn't place or receive calls, with everything else working fine. Did the prerequisite online searches with results finding most everyone experiencing this issue chalking it up to hardware but I'm still thinking software. I tried a different phone app (drupe-enabled as default) with some success, then the problem returned (a few days later, rarely get/make calls). The default google phone app (version 23.0) fails every time. Currently looking into TWRP/Root and hoping to eliminate certain default apps to experiment further. Will be keeping an eye on this post! :cyclops:

Could there be an issue within google play services with phone dialer app (any/or stock app)?
After continued issues I parked phone in drawer a bit then pulled out and tinkered with a few weeks later. Tried to isolate problem using logcat and on a hunch I flashed TWRP and a custom ROM but NOT any gapps package. Sticking sim in and using the built in phone app (Resurrection Remix -com.android.dialer) it works without issue. What? I flashed gapps (correct version/etc) and sure enough the problem returned. Went back to rom minus gapps, works fine. So, with straight up stock rom - stock phone dialer fails, custom rom - it works without a gapps package but not with.

Went back to Oreo before I had the problems and... problems persist. I'm sad. I had the privilege of speaking to someone from Google Support who was very knowledgeable. Unfortunately, my best option from the rep was to take it in to one of their authorized repair places.
Are you guys on Verizon? I'm having this problem with my dad's pixel on vzw.

See my updated post (# 3) for what I've tried since..
Vzw ended up replacing my dad's phone through extended warranty. I talked to Google for awhile. Multiple factory resets, factory image installs, tried older phone apks. Nothing worked.

Older/newer phone dialer apps didn't work for me either ... custom rom and eliminating google play services did (no gapps). I'm still tinkering with the device ... installing frequently used apps using F-droid and Yalp, will test it. Not quite sure why but it works.
I ended up flashing Lineageos for Microg, presents it's own problems in the learning experience but it works.
Nothing ever worked in the end. No, not with Verizon. Bought through Canadian carrier called Fido.
Called Google tech and they weren't overly helpful. I started a chat with a Google Tech and they suggested I take it to UBreakIFix. They did a free diagnostic test and I referenced https://support.google.com/pixelphone/forum/AAAAb4-OgUsIW_gxTpXX3s/?hl=by that thread. Said they'd fix it for free even thought I was out of warranty. Got a new motherboard and my phone works like a charm.
