I have a nexus 7 4.1.1 rooted with stock ROM. My voice recongnition in google now has stopped working. It understands when I say GOOGLE then I speak and I see "Recognizing" but nothing happens. After a long while it goes back to the start and I can touch the mike and speak again with the same results.
If I do an email I can click the mike and talk and voice is turned into text just fine. I have looked all over on the N7 but can't find anything that makes the Google Now work again. HELP
PS this started before I unlocked and rooted my N7.
Mine has done that before and a simple reboot corrected it.
Tried that
I have tried rebooting but still doesn't work.
OK, having a huge problem with my Nexus 4. I'm still running stock kernel/ROM (although I am rooted) and everything about the phone works great EXCEPT for the phone itself! What I mean by this is: everything works (data, texts, tethering, et cetera), I can make and receive calls... but on those calls, there is no sound in *either direction*; when on a call, the mic doesn't pick up my voice, nor does the speaker relay the caller's voice. WTF?
My in-call volume is set to maximum, as checked via Power Toggles.
I've also noticed that the phone has a hell of a time hanging up after a call. For instance, I make a call on the N4 (again, no voice/sound during said call), and when I go to hang up the phone screen simply says "hanging up" and hangs like that for almost a minute. If I try to make another call after that, I get an error "Call Not Sent".
Any ideas how I might be able to track this problem down?
I should also mention that I don't know how long this problem has been present. I really don't use voice calling very much. When I tested the phone when I first received it, I simply made a call from it and to it from our land line and made sure it rang... I didn't think that there might be any issues with the call itself!
I have a brand new N4 that I just rooted using WugFresh toolkit and I see now that I can't hear anything during a call nor can the other person hear anything.
I've tried downgrading to .33 and .27. Also reflashing .48 with no success.
What should I do?
If you are experiencing the same problem I was, it wasn't fixable. I tried everything (reflashing stock, trying different ROMs, etc.)... and apparently it was just a hardware defect. I contacted Google and after explaining the issue (which they hadn't heard about at that point) they shipped me a new phone, which works perfectly.
I would highly recommend not wasting your time trying to diagnose the issue further and get in touch with Google about getting a replacement.
Cheers,
Matt
Thanks a lot for getting back to me. I contacted them and they already sent a replacement unit.
I found a thread on Google forums with six pages of people complaining about this. Apparently is not an isolated problem. Half of the people have the problem after updating to 4.2.2 and the other half (last pages) are all with new phones (4.2.2).
jumped in been a while since I had a play with LS - first impression love the splash screen :good:
Same problem, no warranty
Lucky you guys who were still under warranty. My Nexus 4 is 2 years old now and I just got this problem. It seems to be software related. The mic and speaker works for anything else other than placing phone calls. Furthermore, even if I plug a standard headset thought the 3.5mm jack, still no luck. The same with bluetooth headset.
It's interesting that when this problem started I would be able to place or receive a call once per reboot, i.e., after rebooting, the speaker and mic would work on the first call, but not for the second call unless I reboot the phone. Now I doesn't work even after reboot.
Gargabe?
Hi,
I have exactly same problem with sound during call. I'm using CM11. It doesn't matter if it is nightly or snapshot, simply there is no sound during call. Everything except calling works fine - music, ringing etc.
Restart didn't fork for me and also deleting application data has no effect. I've found only one solution - factory reset approximately each week. It is obvious that this is only workaround and not real solution.
I don't know if it is HW or SW issue. Strange think is that factory reset helps.
Any ideas are welcome. Thank you in advance.

I have the same problem.
Reverting to stock solved the issue form me until a fix for CM11 will be found.
BTW there is a bug report for CM11.
I can't post links but the code is CYAN-5728 on the CM bugtracking system.

The issue is with Google Play Services. more specifically the checkin service within it.
(this is from the CM bugtracking system , code: CYAN-5728, as stated by pupillo)
download/install the app "DisableService" from the play store. (must be rooted)
under the [System] tab, browse to "Google Play Services", tap it, then browse to "checkinservice", uncheck. (it will prompt for superuser, allow)
restart phone
try placing/receiving a call
none of u guys spent even 1 second to check this forums for answer. there have been at least 2-3 threads about this issue, all of them containing/linking to the fix.
Hi
I've been trying to activate my viber on my note 3 for a couple of weeks now and don't seem to find any solution on the web either.
Whenever I try to activate it, I do receive the code, but I always end up back in the very initial Welcome screen. Anyone else experiencing this? On the phone book question I've always answered yes. I've tried to reinstall and empty cashe, reboot phone, but with no help. Viber support does nothing for me here.
Viber hogs memory. .drains battery. ..try goggle hangouts for video chat
Teleported from my SM-N9005 from the Enterprise
Factory reset, fixed most lags.
I have been using this device for a month now and I have had custom kernels on this device, rooted and everything. But ever since I went from global firmware to EU firmware my google mic has been broken. no matter what I do I just cant get it to work. cleared cache, disabled app and reenabled it, removed qualcomm voice and still nothing. I even went back to global firmware and still same issue. I factory reset this device like 10 times just trying to fix this issue and no solutions as of yet. Online has not been helpful since they all have the same solution which doesnt work for me. So I came here to seek assistance.
My mic works in general like snapchat and phone calls etc. just the google apps dont work with the mic. It is annoying not being able to say hey google to talk to my assistant. I have to type everything out.
Anyone else facing this issue and has a fix? I would greatly appreciate it
Hi there,
since the beginning of December I am unable to playback the WhatsApp voice messages I send, not only I cannot play them but the receivers cannot play my messages either.
It was working perfectly before, but suddenly it stopped. I could not find a reason, so I factory reset my phone, reinstalled WhatsApp from scratch, but no go.
When I hit the Play button, it just stays there, the cursor does no move anywhere. I am pretty sure the phone records the messages, but nobody is able to listen to them. The audio settings are correct as well as permissions.
Am I the only one experiencing this issue?
I can only think this is due to an update from WhatsApp that has generated a software conflict with this phone, which is why I would like to know if anybody else is experiencing this problem.
Thank you!
Alex
Anybody?

My uncle is facing the same issue you mentioned. Tried resetting the phone but no solution so far. Looking for solution.
I spoke to the 'so called' WhatsApp customer support, they are aware of the issue and they said it will be fixed in the future. Mind, this was 6 weeks ago.
I asked for an ETA, they said they have none.
Obviously they do not care about the few Nokia phones around, therefore they will never fix this.
Very disappointing, but there is nothing we can do if their app sucks.
I am facing the same issue. tried clearing the cache, resetting the app, changing to a new phone number, and at the end resetting the whole phone. It just refused. I think it might have something to do with the version of Android. it has Android 9 so I might try to see if there is a good rom with android 11 or 12 and see if that helps.
Any solution? I have this problem fow months. Is possible change the android to another version to fix?
