[SOLUTION] S Voice and Text to Speech Problems - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I had this same problem where Text to Speech would crash, and I thought it was bloatware being deleted, but it is looking like that just rooting is the problem, as somebody in another thread said they didn't uninstall anything, and it still did the same thing. Maybe we need to wait for a new root?
Just letting you all know,

Note 3 voice action issue

I recently purchased a galaxy note 3 sm-900. I was desperate to return my android experience back to the one that I had become accustomed to on previous phones, so among other things I set about the task of removing google's new voice search and finding a way to install the old one. In short, I rooted the phone and deleted system apps using RootAppDelete. I uninstalled the google search app itself and then one that said something along the lines of com.google.android.voicesearch. After that, the google play store finally allowed me to download a fresh copy of the old voice search app, which installed just fine and works almost like it should on my phone. The only problem I have is that the app does not recognize voice commands, which is primarily what I use the app for. If I say "Navigate to X", the phone will open the browser with a google search for "Navigate to X". I really need to find a way to make these voice commands work. I have been digging through internet threads for the last few hours trying to find someone with a similar problem but with little success.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?

[Q] Can you fake number not in service?

Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to have my phone play "This number is not in service" when certain numbers call it. I have been searching around but haven't found anything useful.
Unfortunately, Google voice is not an option. My phone is rooted running CM10 and I also have the Xposed framework installed if that's of any help. Is there anything that can accomplish this?
Thanks

There are a lot of apps in the Store that will block calls. This one sends an automatic sms to the caller.
For example: "I told u to not call more" hahahahaha
EDIT. Well this one seems to be better

TweetCaster has gone crazy! Any alternative Twitter app suggestion?

I have been using TweetCaster for over three years I think, it worked flawlessly for me, until now. Even when I disable app's notification, it still keeps notifying me, which is needless to say really annoying. So looking for an alternative. Could someone suggest me a simple twitter app, not with all the fancy animations or looks or anything, just a simple app with Twitlonger support and proper push notifications, that's all.
Thanks in advance.
Hi. I use tweetcaster and have no problem with it. I strongly suggest that you uninstall and reinstall it. It would be sad to have you change apps.
I have already done that, twice, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, nothing was fixed! That's why I was forced to create this topic, I don't like any other apps as well, I know I will eventually come back to it, but until the problem is fixed I am staying with official Twitter app, which is garbage, but at least there is no problem with notifications.

Notifications will sometimes arrive when launching the app

Hi guys,
my issue is easy to describe, but I really don't know how to fix it.
Problem:
Normally Whatsapp, Snapchat or what else, will give you a notification when u have a message or something like this.
But sometimes, I really dont know when, sometimes when it's cleared from recents, sometimes when it's still in recents, the "information" wont come through.
For example, when a friend of mine sends a whatsapp to my device, he just has one tick and I dont receive anything. When I open Whatsapp manually, it "loads" all the information on the server and only then gives me the notification.
So it isnt really the problem of the Notification. I think the real problem is, that because whatsapp is like in a doze or something, the messages wont arrive on my device.
This problem isn't only for whatsapp, it's on all my apps which have like a "background communication"
Tried fixes:
In smart manager is excluded them from the saving power option
Checked if there is like a mobile data restriction
Cleared dalvik cache
Used Push Notification Fixer - but as I mentioned, I dont think this problem is the real notification, there is just no message, which could notify me
Re-installed the app with out titanium backup -- so fresh clean Google Play Store installation
My Device:
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge -- SM-G935F
Superman-Rom v 1.12 --> I tried with other customroms -- same problem
Prometheus Kernel 1.5.3
If anybody has any possible solution, please let me know
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Hi @MisterEvo,
i unfortunately cannot help you, but I wanted to say, you are not the only one with this problem - i recognized these "Push-notification-issues" too.
I tried nearly everything to fix it, like different Custom Roms, different Kernels, different Bootloaders, clear cache or reinstall app, disabled app in smartmanager, allowed background data usage and so on, but nothing, really nothing fixed my push-notification bug.
I would really appreciate if there are any suggestions from the community.
Regards.

Google Assistant/Google Now voice

Hello all!
I am facing a very annoying issue:
For questions like "what's the weather?" Google Assistant/Google Now only shows the result without saying anything.
Similar behaviour when asking "drive me home": navigation starts without any announcement.
On the contrary, Google Assistant speaks/answers normally to phrases such as: "tell me a joke".
I've already tried any solution found on the Internet with no luck (check output, clear data, uninstall google search, etc.).
I'm pretty sure it's not account-related because I'm using the same account on a Nexus 5 without any problem.
anyone in a similar situation ?
Cheers,
Tony

yep. I went through all the settings, and no joy. had to quit, if anyone found something to workaround, would be great
Same here. I have this issue after the September update
+1
When I tell "Go home" to assistant it replies me with going home or similar and opens maps
Happy to hear I'm not alone ... so to speak..
I guess, we must wait for a bugfix, then...
Cheers,

Try to delet voice model in google setting ..voice ...and then again retrain voice model ....that solved problem for me
I'm also having this issue. I've tried installing text to speech data, changed speech output to on... And factory reset. Nothing works. If anyone found a solution, do update here. Not pleased with the phone ?

Done. Nothing new!
I also have the same problem, the assistant is giving audio feedback for a lot of queries and command.
Same here. Thanks for confirming that i am not the only one.
Might be the wrong thread to point it out but "ok google" by voice still gets triggered hence the detection is turned off. Is that normal? Can anyone else confirm this? I personally hate the feature, imagine your mic is always on just to catch those two words all the time. It's not the tin foil hat thing but the resource it uses for this feature ...
Cant reproduce it. I have it disabled on both on Google options and nova launcher

Same issue here but...
You can use the phrase 'tell me about my day' it will announce the weather.

LOL. This is called cheating!
Also I confirm the problem.i tried everything.
Me too
I have that problem too on my OnePlus 3T running AOSPA.
Before I had the same issue when I was running FreedomOS.
I'm pretty sure that the logcat in the following screenshots shows the reason for it.
Unfortunately I can't find anything useful about it using Google...
I also think that this problem occurs only/mostly on Chinese phones, because most of the rare Google results refer to Chinese phones.
