[Q] "Ok Google.. call" not working on S5 - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA,
For some reason, I cannot seem to make calls using the ok google function anymore. When i say "ok google call john", it will correctly bring up john and the progress indicator for starting the call moves across the screen and then it goes to a transition animation as if opening the dialer, and then goes back to the google now screen with the call progress bar again. I've tried clearing the cache and data for the phone app and have tried clearing cache and reinstalling the google app. Has anyone encountered this issue? It was fine on kitkat but seemed to start having issues after i updated to lollipop. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can fix? Thank you.

So I found out the reason, it is because I use google voice as my default number and have the setting turned on to use google voice for all calls. So it seems to bug out when you use the "ok google call" command with google voice. Sent in a bug report to google. not sure if this is a google thing or a samsung thing that needs to be addressed! but in case anyone else has his problem, this is why!

Setting up Google Voice

Hey everyone!
I'm in meed for some help! I am running CM7 and the sprint VCMC does not work with it so now I'm trying to get Google voice set up. I have gone through the set up numerous times and it still will not work. I am selecting do not use Google voice to make calls. I only want it for voice mail. So it prompts me to dial the *28 number, I get 3 beeps and then it hangs up. (I believe that is normal) . So after the set up is finished, when I call my phone it does not forward the calls the my Google voicemail, it simply says the call can not be completed please try again. I have gone online and checked the settings still won't work! I have deletes the account and tried again and still the same error. I know it works, since there are many people around here that use it. I'm sure this is a user error thing. So if anyone has any insight please let me know! I could use all the help I can get!
Thanks!
I know how to fix this!
I've had this problem before and it's incredibly annoying to experience, and almost impossible to find out yourself unless someone tells you.
It's simple really. You NEED a "google voice" number. I know you THINK you have one, but you don't.
Go into your gvoice account, and then voice settings. Right at the top there is a icon that says "get google number". It's free and quick. Once you have a google voice number, you can then get voicemail to work properly.
Hope that helps.
If you already have a Voice number, then did you set up your Evo to use Google Voicemail? I believe the option is in Settings>Call.

Most Mind-Boggling EVO Issues

I have had my EVO for close to 6 months now without ever having an issue. I have been running MIUI for a little over a month and never had any issues. I recently just updated to the newest build, and when i restored all my apps (one of which was google voice) i realized i stopped receiving my text messages. After researching the issue i found a ton of similar people saying that google voice was the cause of it. So i set my google voice up and tested it.. and i WAS able to get my texts but only if i use the Google Voice. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall it like 50x, and i've gone onto google.com/voice and disabled it and re-enabled it 50x. I have checked the box that says 'Allow text messages to go to this phone' or something like that, I've checked every possible setting on Google Voice.. Nothing. So i figured okay, I'll do a full factory reset back to Sense. I DID THIS, AND STILL NOTHING, so then i did a full factory reset, and didn't sign into my Google Account, still no texts. Basically it's like Google Voice has taken my phone number over and is not allowing my text messages to go through and no matter what i do to disable or uninstall it, nothing works.. I have to use google voice to get my texts.. So then i contact Sprint and i've spoken to 3 different reps who have tried everything from their end even attempting to remove google voice from their end to get my texts to go through. I've done everything but change my number. Right now i'm on sense and Another thing i realized is.. I cannot do the ## commands in the phone dialer.. Like two commands i know are ##DATA# and another is ##MSL-CODE# but when i type them in .. the phone dialer just hangs and freezes and no menu comes up. I've done almost 5 factory resets, I've tried not logging into my google account on my phone, I've uninstalled google voice from my phone and from my PC.. Sprint is telling me that they'll waive my 100 fee for the insurance phone, but since i run MIUI, the new insurance phone wont be able to be rooted and i'll be stuck with SENSE and i do not want that. DOES ANYONE, ANYONE AT ALL Have any clue what-so-ever that might be the cause or any hack or possible thing i could do to fix this, and why do you think that the ## codes are not working on my stock sense rom either? Everything else on my phone works entirely fine except receving texts through my native app and using those codes on my sense rom in the dialer. I can't receieve texts on MIUI or Sense through their native apps... the only way to get them is through Google Voice.. Please anyone! HELP ME!
Google voice did that to me, too and I had to work my ass off to get it to go away!
Finally, I went to the website and my settings and got it to stop doing text messages, and then I called the number you call to get it to stop handling my calls.
Here ya go

That's because the phone number is associated with Google voice, not your account, so a factory reset wouldn't help pas the number is still there
Nevermind, just ignore this post.

Google NOW tries calling certain contacts via google voice and can never connect.

I have a Nexus 6P running the latest version Android 6.0.1. However, it is very odd that I never had this issue with my Nexus 6.
I have a car that just has a simple phone button (Bluetooth) to press which makes a sound and at that point I can simply say something like "Call Tom Brady". The phone usually uses my Verizon network to call the contact without any problems. I have been noticing that for a lot of my contacts 'Google Now' is trying to call them via Google Voice. The phone literally says calling so and so via Google Voice and then never connects. I don't know if this is because these contacts have a Gmail account or what, but it is very annoying and it never ends up connecting.
I bet if I uninstall the Google Voice app everything would work, but I need it for my visual voice mail.
One thing I have already tried is in the Google Voice App settings change it to 'Do NOT use Google Voice for any calls'.
This did not fix the issue.
Is there any Google Now settings or Google Voice settings that anyone can think of that might help me here?

Can't get Google Voice to respond

I have a US996 running super v20 4.1 I can't figure it out it just won't respond to voice commands every time I do the voice match set up and hit sentenced it takes me right back to the page where you enable it and it's off I've tried wiping the phone reinstalling the ROM I've also tried a fresh install of the us99610p but nothing I do seems to get the voice command to activate
I just went through this. Uninstall the update for the Google app, then train your voice, install the updates, retrain again.
That's what worked for me.
Good luck

I have the same problem on my h918. Already tried uninstall google assistant and reinstalling. Haven't found anything to get the voice training to stick and voice match to stay on yet.
Once google assistant is disabled, the phone responds to ok google, but only on the homescreen with the google search bar...even with voice match disabled.

Don't really have a solution, but you're talking about Google Assistant, Google Voice is their VoIP phone/texting app

Not sure how google voice got in the mix. The new google voice training is called "access with voice match" which is disabled. when you try to enable it, it goes through voice training. After voice training it is still disabled
Yes

Redmi Note 7 - Microphone issues (PIE 10 rom)

Hello to everyone!
After installing the latest available official version of PIE 10 rom on Redmi note 7 i discovered that in messaging application s such as Telegram, Facebook messenger, Viber - main microphone is not working. Person cannot hear me but in normal calls everything is working fine.
On 4PDA was found a temporary solution which is useful but it doesn't help me to fix the issue.
Workaround is - turn off the access to microphone for Google application and reboot device.
Maybe anyone already facing the same issue and know another solution how to fix microphone issue ?
Solution founded.
I tried to play with Google application setting but before changing settings I remove (disable) application from Google play store, clean cache, reboot. Install application with last updates, turn on Google assistant and voice matching. (Google app - Settings - Google assistant - Assistant - My device (on the bottom of screen), Voice match - on.
I have the same issue.

Try to check if the Google assistant and voice match is turned on. If it's turned off - turn on this function, reboot phone and check if the mic starts working in messangers

Where is the option to turn them on? When i tap Voice match in assistant settings, it tells me to add a device like Google home or something.
