[Fix] MobileVoip under CM7 (possible other ROMs)

MobileVoip is known to malfunction on Atrix (muted audio on both sides) and as I've seen in Market comments, some other Moto devices suffer the same issues. However I found a way to make it work under CM7.
1.
Settings ->
CM settings ->
Application ->
Perm. management - put checkmark
2.
Settings ->
Manage applications ->
MobileVoip ->
scroll down to Permissions and tap under Hardware controls
"change your audio settings" to disable it (see attached screenshot)
That's it. Now the program works as it should.
I don't know if there's an app that gives similar permissions management functionality. If you know one, it could possibly fix the issue on other ROMs, so feel free to update this thread for others.

mobile voip fix works
i use this on pc and on my wife's iphone4. it works great. on my atrix cm7 it didn't worked. this post fix this. good job maajstor i tested calls only but as soon as i can i test sms too. EU is getting closer

No, none of updates fixed it.
I've given up on this app since CM7 has built-in VoIP capabilities.
Settings -> Call settings -> Internet call settings
Under Accounts I set up an account that I have with nonoh.net (should work with any VoIP provider with SIP support), and under "Use internet calling" I set it to ask for each call. I don't need it for SMSing, and I don't use it for incoming calls, so this suits my needs perfectly.

Hi,
I am facing some serious issues while using mobilevoip app. Before I was using GingerDx v022 with alfs , It was working properly.
Now, I changed to Mini CM 2.1.9 by Naa with Naa Kernel V11, I can use the app first time only. It will log in & work properly. After logout and I tried to run it again it won't connect any more. But I found a temporary solution by pressing "Clear Data" in manage application settings.
Do any body have idea what could be wrong?

S Voice

Can anyone get s voice to work? It perfectly recognizes what I am saying but doesnt respond, even the open commands. It just comes back with say hi galaxy to wake me up.

I tried to use it a few times but no real success. Disabled the double button press on the home button until they get it working. I can search the web on my own.

It sort of works for me, but it's not perfect on recognizing my voice. I said "Tell me a joke", it picked up "Tell me agenda"

I texted once using S-Voice last night, but it didn't get my message right. Today, it transcribes what I say, but then ignores it and brings up the say Hi Galaxy bit.

that is what it does to me also. I wonder why?

I was trying out my BT headset and opened the mike up and there was SVoice... After a number of I agree to docs, I asked for the weather, navigation, the population of a few cities, and it seems to work well. However, it kept my mike open all the time waiting for me to say Hi Galaxy, that's bad. It also stopped speaking and I do know where its mute button is.

At work with WIFI on S voice get saying Network Error. Turned on Wifi and S Voice worked... anyone with a similar issue?

everytime i ask S voice something it just give me the stupid say hi galxay to wake me up bull but it recognizes what i say so its weird it doesnt work

Clear S-Voice
Ran into this same problem with S Voice. It wasn't responding at all and started giving me the silent treatment (like my wife who said I was talking to the phone more than her).
Here's what did the trick to get the phone working again, hope this helps someone:
Go to Settings > Application Manager > All.
Scroll down to S Voice then select it and press the Clear Data.

Wow it worked, thanks!

While it is not that accurate, S Voice works well for setting alarms, tasks/reminders, and "record voice" memos...

How does the SVoice compare to SpeakToIt? Can it pass the woodchuck test?

so whats the other method you use to get the wife to start responding?

I asked " What is the best phone "
She replied " Opinion vary but I think Samsung Galaxy is the best of them all " :victory:

it just keeps telling me "i didnt get that. please try again" ... not impressed
edit: figured out i cant have bluetooth on and use svoice? wtf?

[Q] Google Now Hotword Detection Not Working - RESOLVED

It used to be that when I opened Google Now, the search bar would say "Say 'Google' to Search". But now that option has gone away. I checked my settings and hotword detection is on, so it should be working. I have tried just saying "google" but that didn't work. I tried reverting back to an older verion of the google searchapp, but that didn't solve the problem. I'm running CM10.1 Jan 25 Nightly. It was working a week ago when I was still running CM10.1, so it may just be that something about the newer versions of CM10.1 aren't working. I've tried reinstalling the app from the play store, but that didn't fix it either, and I'm out of ideas.

Yes, if I press the mic button, it picks up everything I say just fine.

What was done to fix this? I am having the same issue.

The issue for me was using the voice notify app. I contacted the developer and this is what I got
"I was able to reproduce the issue and have narrowed
it down to the Accessibility feedback type for VN being set to 'spoken'. With
that, it's kind of obvious that Google Now is designed not to listen for
"Google" when an accessibility service might be speaking.
I tried to work around it by setting the feedback type to generic and only
setting it to spoken while VN speaks, but it prevented VN from speaking at all.
That said, I don't believe there is anything I can do. Probably for the best
since it's usually not a good idea to circumvent design."
So if you're not using voice notify, i'm guessing it's some other accessibility app that's screwing it up. It's very annoying.

I think the hotword also only works if your language is set to English (US). My phone is set to English (UK) and "Google" doesn't work.

on my Nexus 7 the hotword detection has never worked and I cannot figure it out.

Not working for me currently, not sure why.

Set the language to english US. After setting this, for me it's working

I already have that setting.

Not using CM right this second, but I had this problem today. One of the keyboard/input options was "Google voice typing". When I turned that OFF, Hotword detection started working again. Just an idea.

I'm on 4.2.2 CM10.1 on S2 (i9100).
It worked like a charm, but few days back I've noticed, that despite the fact that I have the feature turned on, I am using US English, my voice recognition works perfect, it doesn't work.
---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 AM ----------
Android settings
-> Language & Input -> Selection notification: Off is what helped me to solve the problem

Re-check it.

I had this issue as well.
In order to make it work again:
1. Turn on Google voice typing in the keyboard setting
2. go to Google Now setting and then Voice
3. Set the language to English... and choose english (US)
You should be getting hotword recognition now.

I had this same issue and this is what I did to fix it:
In Google Now go to
Settings>Voice>Download offline speech recognition>under ALL tab select English (US)
Enjoy your Hotword detection once again! :good:

No problem. Now tell Google to do a barrel roll.

I've tried everything that's mentioned in this thread but Google Now still doesn't work by saying 'Google' I have to keep pressing the mic. Any other solution?

Headphones SVOICE Launch strange issue

Hi all, not sure if this is in the right place, apologies moderators if so
I have problem on my Note 3 - so I am now intrigued and enthusiastic about getting to know and getting the most out of S-Voice - but mainly with the headphones in a hands free fashion.
However when the phone is in my pocket and off and i long press the control button on the headphones to supposedly launch S-Voice or Google Now... i get absolutely nothing.... so i take the phone out of my pocket and turn on the screen... unlock it... and i see a prompt "complete action using S-voice OR Google Search" but only for a split second and the prompt dissappears without me being able to even come close to making a selection and always happens that way.....
So im ending up with... nothing.. no control.. no apps launched.. ever... just a teasingly close to choice thats taken away from me.
Whats the deal? anyone know?
Many thanks
Liam

Try disabling Google's Voice Search (Now) in settings->apps>google now.
This should make svoice the default automatically.
If you need Google Now and don't want it disabled I don't know how I can help. I can't replicate the issue here.

Many thanks for reply, I see what you mean by setting it to default.... But you are right, I do want google now voice search enabled so that's not an option (unless doing this sets the default then when voice search is re enabled it remember my preference??)
How is your svoice setup skander1988? Would you be able to screenshot for me?

I believe re-enabling google now will reset the defaults again.
There is nothing to setup though, I'm using the S5 SVoice on my Note 3 with Google Now enabled and it automatically uses SVoice for me.
EDIT: I just reconfirmed, it automatically opens SVoice for me by default without any additional configuration
EDIT2: My friend's Note 3 shows the same behaviour as yours.

I'm intrigued.

I use the S5 port on rom central (can't link to rom central here) - I customised to my own needs.
It's basically the S5's Firmware made compatible with the Note 3 with the SPen features readded.

Problem enabling services

Hey everyone. I've been having an issue with my At&t Note 4. When I go to accessibility and go to services. When I go to turn something on for a specific app it gives me the app permissions but doesn't let me hit ok. When I hit ok it doesn't click it but when I hit cancel that works. I was wondering if I'm doing something wrong or have a certain setting incorrect. Thank you

hi,
yes, i have got this same bug...! I have N910 F, rooted, stock Rom
eversince Android v 4.4.4. ANKA4 ... .all along to Lollipop.. BOBC3.. BOB4...and also on BOC5, i had issues withthe accessibility services!
If i flashed a new Rom then i can change .. hit the ok and it is enabled..! Later...(time period unknown) i would notice that i cannot enable it(same experience.. as you) i have searched XDA, for for similar bug issue, for months and you are the first member to highlight issue?
what i do now, is to enable all my apps services etc, as soon as i had flashed new Rom... but this does not help for new apps, that must have services enabled. eg my Norton security.. market app adviser needs service permission enable to scan app prior to installation.. but yes i cannot.,get it enable.. Other services eg... Pushbullet, Noyze, Nova i am lucky to have it enabled, soon after flashing,
According to me it is a Samsung bug issue?, as i have experience it over different Roms (Netherlands.. German .. UK , Roms)
Apart from factory reset or flashing Rom , the bug remains
Clearing cache...wipe etc, from recovery also doesnot help!
All i can think of is, that not alot of members "worry/have noticed this issue, as it works and then at later time " you cannot enabled it "
Any members with positive advice?
good luck

It's very frustrating. I can't use apps properly since I can't get them to enable

Anyone else have this issue?

Please check if you have some app that creates an overlay on the screen. Usually it could be an app that creates a color filter, eg. Twilight, Lux or similar. Disable it temporarily (Twilight has a pause button). Now you should be able to enable the accessibility service without hassle. Then enable the overlay app back.

Are you using Lux Dash ? Or a similar application to control screen brightness? Anything overlaying can cause problems throughout the system ui.
