I am looking to change the voice set (like in google maps) but can't get any change to take. It stays with the same female.
I can get into the menu where you select/download different voices and even get the sample to play right but when I open maps, it's the same chick.
Anyone else tried this? Any luck?
No one?
Hi J_Bone,
I had same problem. You can try go to settings->App Manager-> All-> google-text-to-speech and disable it.
That helped me to recover google maps "samsung" voice on my galaxy s5. When voice will be recovered you can reinstall google-text-speech.
Hope it will be helpful.

Hey, it seems that one of the things stripped out of the Blackhole rom is the voice synthesizer for Google Nav. I can't for the life of me remember where to go in the market to download this. Does anyone remember? It's annoying the hell out of me that Nav doesn't have the voice directions.
Same issue here. This probably belongs in that thread too.
Yeah, that's a good idea, I'll put that in the thread.
You Lose voice navigation if you get rid of the text-to-speech services. So check your /system/apps/ to make sure you have PicoTts.apk and TtsService.apk, if you don't have them that's the cause of your problem.
I have those apks and the voice isn't working on Google Navigation. Any other suggestions?
I had to download something from the market. I think it was google voice search.
I got my problem fixed. I deleted the SVOX folder on my SD Card.
Is anyone using google maps not getting voice prompts...only beeps that tell you when your turns are coming up? Its really frustrating having to look at the screen to know where to go.
You can download an app from the market that will talk on google maps. If you are on 2.2 then one should already be installed for you.

I'm on 2.2.1(EB13). it was working and then I reset my phone because of gps taking forever...I uninstalled updates and then re-installed but its still not giving voice guidance.
Thanks musclehead I figured it out. Text to speech engine wasn't installed. I clicked on install voice data and it took me to the market to download the app
Odd problem.. I installed a stripped down rom, and now i have no Google voice to text. I installed Google keyboard, and Google search, however no Google typing option in the input settings. Is there an apk i can install to fix this?
after spending all day looking for the solution, I would find the answer 10 minutes after posting about it lol
seems I was missing plain old Google on my phone, found it in the App Store download it and it works like a charm now.
Hello, I wanted to know if someone never thinked about the use of the voice to control the HU?
Example: You're driving but you want a special song, all you have to do is "Ok Google play "TITLE" from "ARTIST" " and Google automatically the correct song.
Example 2: "Ok Google go to "DESTINATION" with Tomtom"
The first one is already working online but offline it doesn't work.
I wanted to know if someone already tried to make it work without connection. (Maybe with Tasker ? "android.media.action.MEDIA_PLAY_FROM_SEARCH" intent?)
Thanks !
Google Assistant used to work seamlessly with Google Maps which began voice navigation promptly. Now assistant will take me to Maps but it only shows the route and no way to begin navigation (much less voice). Anyone with this problem? I've tried this on several ROMs with same result.

If I say a location to Google Assistant a box comes up with choices and selecting directions opens Google Maps. Pressing the car icon starts navigation. Are you trying to use Google assistant to start navigate without any physical interaction with phone?
Yes and it always worked before. All I had to do was ask assistant to take me to a destination. It would open maps and voice directions began.

When did it stop working like that?
Not sure exactly. I flash ROMs constantly and hadn't tried this feature in a while. In fact I can't get voice navigation in Maps even if I open that application directly. If I hit the start button after entering a location it just shows the route but nothing else happens. ?
6P, 7.1.1, nmf26f: this happens to me in my vehicle and i turn the bluetooth connection to my car audio (android 5.1.1) off and she begins to tell me what to do again. ymmv.
Hmmm. Don't know about that. I did notice the "while driving" (works with google maps) toggle on ok google detection is grayed out.
Edit--The problem isn't with GA it is with Google maps. I tried all the things I found on the net (turning off bluetooth, turning off play voice over bluetooth in map settings) still no voice navigation.
When you are navigating there should be a little speaker icon under the magnifying glass. Did you try toggling that? It can mute and unmute voice navigation. If you are on a custom ROM you can also try reinstalling GApps.
Thanks. Tried both of those but still doesn't work. Uninstalled maps and reinstalled also. Still no voice navigation.
