Shazam, Microphone in use - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I'm running KangaKat 5.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349077) but can't post in that thread due to not enough posts, so hopefully someone here can help.
Every time I start Shazam, I get "Couldn't record audio, another application might be using the microphone" error. I've tried turning off voice detection in Google Now and stopping all running apps even remotely related to audio/mic, but the error remains.

sorry to bump, but bump

Yep, I have the same issue. KT4.4 with Dandroid S4.
If anyone knows what's what please share. /Noob

In the Dandroid thread he mentioned that the app is not compatible. The ROM should be fine.

[Q] Group Play won't update on GS3

I recently updated my Galaxy S3 to 4.3 and was trying out Group Play.When I open the app it gives me a message saying I need to update the app and when I click "install" I get a box saying "Currently unable to download. Please try again later." Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
Hello, Just try this app for the time being
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avrapps.chorus
Turn your phones into a makeshift speaker! Play songs on multiple phones at the SAME TIME (Similar to Group Play on S4). Lose yourself in the music, the moment you own it.

Thanks. But has anyone got an idea how to fix this?

By trying later .
By uninstalling from Play and reinstall .
By asking in the correct forum you are more likely to get an answer ..Use the report button and ask a mod to move to the correct section .

[Q] DishAnywhere app video problems

Not sure if this should be in the Help/Troubleshooting section or the Apps section...
I'm unable to play video on my G2 using the DishAnywhere app. At one point I managed to play SD video (once) but have since been able to get it working. All I get is a black screen when I hit play. I've experienced this on several different lollipop roms. A search on The Google says that the app was incompatible with lollipop until December but sounds like it's been working fine for others since. Any idea whether this is a known issue or if there is a fix? The rest of the app works great....just blanks on the video....
Thanks for any help
Is anybody using Dish Anywhere to watch shows on a lollipop rom?

OK Google fails to launch apps?

Everything I tried to voice summon Google Now and tell it to launch an app, it will process my command and show a little loading icon. However, that's all it does and the app never launches.
Has this been a problem for anyone else? I've tried launching Pandora and calculator, both to no avail

Just tried it. No issue at all.
Just tried and launched my Calculator app with no problem.
To clarify, the problem seems to only happen when the screen is locked. So I Simon a locked device via voice, then say "launch calculator app." Half the time it will tell me "actually, I can't do that. To continue, please unlock your device," while other times it just gets sick on the loading icon. Keep in mind that I have trusted voice activated under my Google settings. I don't know why it's not working.
When the device is unlocked, everything works fine.

It worked for me at first as well, but now it isn't. Very strange indeed.
Anyone else having troubles? This is annoying because I like launching Pandora via voice when the phone is charging and I'm across the room

Yes have the same issue. Also the amount of time it gives you respond when using voice commands is horrible sometimes...
Try using OK Google to do a web search first and then as soon as it's done doing your search ask it to open an app. That works for me.

This works because the web search triggers the phone to unlock with your trusted voice first. It's a work around but not a solution to the problem.
And yeah the response time to the voice trigger is pretty crummy.
Anyone know how to get this problem reported to the appropriate people?

I'm in the same boat, 'Ok Google' is quite unreliable from the lock screen (even with Always On and Voice Smart Lock). More times than not, it fails to perform any of the requested actions. Interestingly, the workaround mentioned above does work. My HTC One M8 was able to accurately activate with screen off without a problem....
I am having the same problem with not being able to open apps from locked screen, how can we report this as an issue?

Keyboard crashes when updating/installing apps

I have an almost identical issue to this person https://github.com/rovo89/Xposed/issues/69 (I say almost because I haven't been able to get a logcat to see if I get the same errors), anyone know a fix? That's the only relevant link I can get to come up, all other things are about the keyboard crashing in general, which id like to clarify is NOT the issue I'm having, the keyboard works fine, but when I update or install an app specifically in the play store more often then not the crash message (___ has stopped) comes up for Google keyboard, but when I pull of a text field it still works fine. I will try to get a log asap as I imagine that will be a lot more helpful.

And here is logcat, I opened catlog, set to error, filtered to AndroidRuntime and then opened play store and updated apps till I got an error and that popped up, pretty much exactly the same, just important to note it has nothing to do with xposed. http://pastebin.com/ag5VGFCC

Not going to officially declare it the solution yet, seems deleting Google keyboard data, uninstalling it, and then reinstalling it worked, don't know why I didn't try that before :s feel kinda dumb

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,
Tony
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 ?
try deleting user data of google play services and google app
My MI5S is the same.

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.
