Moto Voice Ringer Volume Bug fixed! - X 2014 General

Hey guys!
So I got an update for the Moto Voice app recently on my PE running 5.0. Moto voice used to change ringer volume to work but would leave it at around 75% volume afterwards. I always have my Moto X on vibrate so this was really annoying...
But now after this update it doesn't do that anymore. It sets it back to vibrate once it completes whatever command I issued. Finally! I don't know if this issue has also been fixed in Assist (drive), haven't had a chance to test it out yet.
Just thought I would let you guys know!
Edit: It seems to be faster at processing the commands too! It doesn't take as long to pass the command onto google.

Noticed the quickness had been updated. Not sure about drive is fixed either. But I can vouch it is way quicker processing commands..

Took them long enough. I'd like to give them thumbs up for fixing it but it should have been done last year.
Now, how about they fix attentive display???

I have noticed that the moto voice notifications are a bit louder than before. Still not on equal footing with other apps like Play Music.
When in driving mode, connected to my car's BT radio, to keep the moto voice alerts balanced with play music, I can now turn play music to 75% volume vs 50% volume. The moto voice is turned to 100%. It's an improvement. I would still like to see the moto voice alerts on equal volume level as all other apps though.

It's faster passing commands to Google search for sure.

Unfortunately It now changes your interruption setting (if set to NONE) to ALL. Don't these clowns test this stuff before shipping?!?

how do you change moto voice alerts volume? I cant hear a thing on my car. It stops the music but the voice is really really low. In contrast, google maps directions work just fine.

When it activates with the volume up button. You have to be quick or have it read notifications so it stays on a bit longer.

Oh ok, I checked it is on full volume. It is really strange, if im using my earphones and playing music, I can hear google voice perfectly, but while using an audio cable connected to my car, I cant hear it at all. Any suggestions? Could it be that my cable is faulty? I can hear everything else just fine....

I've never seen that. I use Google Play music, BeyondPod & NPR One in the car. I keep those programs adjusted to 50-75% volume when using my car bluetooth.
However, at work I drive a Ford Escape. Using Microsoft Sync in that car, I find that the volume of Moto voice & my music / podcast apps to be almost on equal footing since the Google services update.
I know that whatever version Sync the car has, it is probably what came stock with the car. The car is probably 5 years old. It seems I get my best in car connectivity with the Escape Sync.
Could be a driver issue with the device or how the phone connects.
I would like it if I could get an aftermarket head with Sync, but it seems only Ford uses this.
If you find this helpful, just give me a thumbs up.

I always have the music (play music) at a 100 on my car. Maybe thats the fault. btw I connect through audio cable, not bluetooth. I will try lowering the music volume and also with another cable just to be sure.
Thanks.

[PROJECT] Headphone Controls - HandsFree

I would like to start working on a way to change the function of the push button received from the headphones. Mainly for when your driving, but this would also be helpful when you need to work with your hands, but still would like to use your phone!
I would love to make an app, but i have no exp in doing this, so basically this is my REQ for a developer to work with to create,develop,test help build my idea.
A customizable app that allows you to choose to open apps, perform actions, play music, skip, pause,play etc with different clicks of the button (Like the older/newish ipod shuffle controls)
If your interested or have any material or ideas for me to start looking into gpio settings please add to the post.
My ideal click config would be:
[Current]
1 click - Depending on Phone State : Open up Music Player/play/pause/answer call/end call
[Additional - Needs to be added]
2 clicks - Next Song
3 clicks - previous song
Click and Hold - Open Voice Control Program (in my case Vlingo) Should be configurable via GUI or config file
(I'm not sure how many commands we can actually store, but if there are more then we can surely add more and more features)

How much money do you have?
I already have the answer. Get a set of the Motorola S9-HD Bluetooth headset. You can do all things you require with them (over bluetooth of course) The sound quality is AWESOME
well, that's not the correct answer, ths idea for an app is really nice, I dont have experience in android development either but I'd like to have this app, and I would donate, Once I saw an application like this for WM and it was awesome( Former WM user)

yeah, right.
AD2P simply SUCKS quality-wise.
If you don't notice the difference, well, good for you .
but with the same kind of money you can get so much more quality you can't even compare.
The kind of fearure the OP is working on would be just awesome for who wants quality or doesn't. want to spend money for the same of it and remote controls . looking forward to it.

I'm going to start sifting through the Kernel and Source Code that was posted from samsung for anything related to the headset. They defiantly have a way to recognize the clicks, I just dont know how to access them to tell the phone what to do.

Fingers crossed that this is on topic enough...
On my Captivate, the hardwired headset that came with it has a button in the wire. This button doesn't seem to do anything. What is it supposed to do?
Also, I have a bluetooth Jabra BT3030. None of the buttons function with the Captivate. They all worked fine on my Tilt (WM). Should all of the bluetooth buttons work with this phone? Also, when I turn on my bluetooth it pairs fine, but doesn't automatically connect. I've read about this happening with other people. I'm wondering if it's just this old bluetooth device isn't compatible with the Captivate. Any opinions?
Thanks,
Rich

The button you speak of will pause and un-pause music from my experience. I'm not sure if it does anything else.
It also answers incoming calls and in at least one music player (can't remember which one, maybe DoubleTwist?) a double click skips to the next track.

You obviously haven't tried out the s9_HD pair. They are really good quality. I have a $50 pair of Sony buds, and the S9s are just as good.
BTW you can get them for $60 on the net. So where did you say you can get better quality buds for far cheaper?
Also I mostly use my S9s' at the gym, because my wired pair of buds kept getting caught on the weight bars. When I run on the treadmill I always set my phone on the top tray and kept yanking on the cord. I actually knocked my phone on the floor a couple of times.

its supposed to pause and play your music or atleast thats what it does on mine
Yeah, my buttons doesn't do anything with any music player I've tried. I don't use the stock captivate player, I prefer pretty much any other music player over it. Right now, I'm using the one I pulled for the vanilla rom awhile back.
In Slacker radio the button pauses and unpauses. I think this is going to be more of an issue of the software developer using the functionality of the button, not making the button talk with the software.

Through more investigation it seems that the software determines what happens on button press, so really this is going to be a look through to see where it allows us to select which program launches on button press.

I wish I looked into it before my 30 days were up. The button on my headset does nothing (never has). I dont know if it's just the wire or it's the phone (hardware or software).
Yeah I would definitely DONATE too if you could work this out, it would make my life much easier

Google Maps navigation wont speak through car speakers

So today I needed to use google maps to navigate to an address, so like i used to on my Incredible, I put in the address, selected navigate and everything was good until I came to my first turn, Pandora muted and I heard the voice turn direction, but it was not through my car's speakers. I checked that Navigation wasn't muted then I checked that the media volume was turned all the way up and it was. So what's the deal, is there a setting I'm missing or something, or is the Fascinate's only capability to play music through the headphone jack? I know you can't have a phone conversation with the phone pluged into an aux jack in a car as it keeps the mic on the phone mute, but it won't play nav directions through the head phone jack either?
This is a known issue. It is supposed to be fixed with 2.2. I hope.
There were a couple of devs working on a fix, but nothing that works yet.
I had voice prompts through my car stereo using Google navigation this past weekend while using the stock music player. Didn't try it with Pandora.
I had to turn the phone's media volume way down and crack the navigation audio all the way up, then crack my car stereo as the navigation volume is an order of magnitude softer than the media volume on the Fascinate (which is a known bug that is hopefully going to be fixed).

I had the same issue, then found a fix for it this morning. I posted it here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...s/85988-navigation-volume-low.html#post957765
As far as being able to hear the navigation through your speakers, it should work. Mine has worked fine since the beginning. I only had an issue with the volume being really low. Perhaps that is what you are seeing. Sometimes the navigation volume would be so low that I would hear the music turn down for the directions, but I didn't hear any directions until I turned up my radio to max.
I reflashed the rom I was using and that seems to have cleared the issue up. Thanks for the sound fix SnrSuave.

universal volume booster?

Is there a universal volume booster yet? I dont have a use for the ones that only work in one weird music app, I need one that works for everything because I use BeyondPod for podcasts and can barely hear anyone talking, I have to turn my car's volume to 90% which sounds like crap and has too much hiss (not to mention I switched to radio forgetting to turn the volume down and almost blew the speakers). The only apps I use are PlayerPro and BeyondPod, sometimes I'll use youtube for a song, very rarely I will use Google Music. Im sick of these damn Android phones and their useless AUX volume, I was able to get a little more volume with Voodoo sound on my last phone but this phone is going to drive me back to my old ipod.

[Q] Popping sound when SMS interrupts music?

Got my Note3 on VZW last night, and so far i love almost everything about it....except...
I am sitting at work streaming music. I have a set of speakers plugged into the headphone jack.
When i receive an SMS (or any notification), the music pauses like normal. However, right before and after the pause, i hear a "pop" sound, as if i physically unplugged the speakers and plugged them back in. My Gnex that the note replaced definitely did not do this.
I don't believe it made the sound when connected BT in my car.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior? It sounds like a grounding issue.
Same for me

I am using Rhapsody, so there isn't another app option. I dont have any local music on the phone yet, but i will try that at some point.
I stream music through Rhapsody every day. I hope this isn't a hardware issue. Seeing poweramp work better makes me hopeful it is just a software issue.

Ring tones wont play through bluetooth but everything else will

I have an interesting issue:
If I have my Blue Tooth headset on and connected, I can listen to music through it , I can hear notifications for text, email, etc and youtube audio plays through it just fine, but whenever I get a call, it doesn't matter if it is a stock ring tone or a music/mp3 tone it will always play through the phone's external speakers instead.
Is there a setting , tweak or app to change this so the tone will play through the headset only or both?
I have the same issue but mine is through the headphone jack when using as a line out/aux to my car stereo. Music, video, navigation etc. plays fine. But ringtones ALWAYS switch to external phone speaker.
A big annoyance.
Glad I am not the only one. Thanks for replying. Not sure what the deal is, hopefully someone will chime in and confirm if it is a hardware or software issue. I have never had a phone that wouldn't play the ringtone through bluetooth before.

Not to revive a dead topic , but it just occurred to me that if I don't want to hear the ringer play through the phone then I need to silence it when I have my bluetooth connected. I just set up 2 Automatelt rules;
Bluetooth Connected / Ringer Off -
On device connection > Set ringer to Silent/Vibrate
Bluetooth Disconnected / Ringer On -
On device disconnection > Set Ringer to On/Vibrate
I am going to give this a shot and see if it works. I am betting that I still hear the musical crescendo in my headset while the phone is on silent.

I'm having this issue as well. Where is this setting at for these rules?
Also a guy I work with has a RAZR maxx with the stock unrooted 4.3 room and his does the same thing. So I think it's a software issue.

The rules you speak of are Automatelt (its like tasker / llama ) rules , you can get Automatelt in the appstore, the free version is all I have needed so far.
