Waze voice input not working very well - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I use the Waze app, I like to use voice commands to make reports of Hazards and things that I see while driving. Unfortunately comma many times when I use voice input it thinks it can't hear me when it is clearly responding to sound and seems to act like it is opening to voice prompts at the same time that overlap each other. Anyone else using this app have this difficulty on the Nexus 6 p? I don't know if it's this phone or the application. So far no response from the Developers. Other apps where I use voice input such as texting and creating this post seem to work just fine.

Voice dial anyone?

Tried to search this.. anyone knows if I can voice dial with Desire? I need it when dial someone while driving through bluetooth. Thanks
I too would love an answer to this if anyone has one. Would be nice if the button on bluetooth handsfree kits started voice dialing as with my TouchHD, but just voice dialing would be a start. I am guessing that the only option would be using the voice search but I tried that and it just looked up whatever name I searched on google
Download and install the car dock (see here).
Amongst other things, it allows you to voice dial.
Regards,
Dave
You don't need the car dock app, if you have voice search installed, just long press the search button and say "call whoever".
Si
is there any non internet dependent voice dialer available
Am I missing something? Long press on search key does not bring up any voice search on my Desire... do I need to install any app?
mine puts call whoever into a Google search???

Doesn't work on my handset it always performs a Google search. I've even tried unticking the Internet option in the Searchable Items list and it still searches Google. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling too.
Me too I think this might be a new version though but it wont download lol
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
It is a newer version than the one I originally had installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled this one.
Download to your PC, then move to the SD Card and install (just open with Astro.) It really works very well
Yes this works better now, only thing is when i say call mom etc
i get a list.. call mom, call mom mobile, call mom google search etc.. why dont it just do it lol

Voice to speech freezing phone

My droid x keeps on freezing when I try to use voice to text in any setting, such as swype or the search widget. My entire phone locks up with the rotating throbber frozen in the center of the screen, and I have to hit home in order to get out.
Everything else is fine, and I have no issues as long as I stay away from voice to text. Does anybody else have this problem? I think it's the google voice to text service crashing, but I'm not running a task killer, though I used to. Turning my phone off and restarting makes everything fine.
Any ideas?

I've been experiencing this since day one, even after the update. It doesn't happen often, but when it does I just kill the voice recognition app and then it works okay. It's only locked up on me once that was bad enough I had to do a battery pull.
What's the name of the app you kill? And after you kill it, can it be used again, or is it just disabled until you restart your phone?

"Voice Commands", and "yes" respectively.
I've ben having same problem.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I have no clue what's causing this problem. Killing Voice Search/Commands seems to be the only workaround at this point, and that doesn't exactly fix things either.
I just did a factory reset to clear up another problem and it seemed to have fixed the vice search also. I recommend trying it.

I have had the same problem as well...but I think mine only locks up when I'm using the swype keyboard. So maybe that has something to do with it?
speech to text locking Droid X
I too have been having my speech to text lock up, and notice it happens when using other programs ie. Handscent with swype. move to multi-touch keyboard and it is fine. Has happened with other programs and swype as well.???
Doesn't help when killing voice commands on the Droid X. Only when changing from Swype to Multi-touch keyboard. I love Swype, but maybe love Handscent more :-(
Need to make them play nice together!
This is happening to me and I don't use swype. Has happened on and off when using pretty much all "voice command" type situations. Will lock up once, then after a force kill will work fine next time.
Not sure about this, but doesn't the voice recognition feature have to "call home" to the internet to work (and that is why it takes so long for voice commands to initialize as well) so could this be a problem with connectivity timing out? I could swear I read somewhere that one of the future update plans includes allowing the speech recognition to work without having to connect to google online.

Note speaking text messages

For some reason, my Note has started speaking my text messages. Car mode is off, and no accessibility options are set.
Any ideas how to switch this off?
Thanks,
Dave

There are two car options in fact. One in Androids system settings for text-to-speech and there is another option in vLingo, the Samsung rebranded voice recognition software. They are treated independently. Be sure to (un)check them both accordingly.

Both are unchecked! If I switch on the Vlingo car mode, it reads out simultaneously and separately using a different voice, so it isn't Vlingo causing the problem. I've also tried switching the "standard" one on and off, and all leaving it on with all the options unchecked, but it still reads out the messages!
Thanks anyway!

Dave
Ok, I worked it out!
I installed Cluzee the other day, but hadn't got around to play with it - turns out that reading text messages is one of it's functions!
Dave
Lol... cool you got it resolved though...

Sipdroid on the Transformer

Is anyone here using Sipdroid (or another VOIP app) on their Transformer? I have it set up and I can make calls out (they sound pretty good too) but I can only do it using the crappy built-in dialer in the Sipdroid app.
What I'd like to do is use Dialer One (third party dialer app I found on the Play market) and have that dial via Sipdroid. The trouble is when I press the call button, the Sipdroid app flashes on the screen for a split second and it brings me back to the Dialer One screen without making the call.
Anyone know how to integrate the two properly?
I use grooveip and it works great. It intergrates with the phones native dialer pretty well too. Although, on my tf I just use the dialer that is built into the app. I cannot speak to whether it intergrates with the dialer you mentioned, however.
I purchased GrooveIP and found the sound quality to be very poor, especially on the other end. Tons of echo on speaker phone (the only way to call on a tablet). Sipdroid's sounds much better. Just need to get it working with another dialer app...
Why are you using your speakers instead of a headset? GrooveIP was made for Google Voice. As long as it has enough bandwidth and speed it sounds good to me, even out here in Afghanistan.

I use bria well worth the price, used sipdroid on my galaxy s but was very unreliable! since using bria I have absoluely no problems!
I have been using csipsimple for a long time now. I used to use Sipdroid when it was the first and best voip phone, but csipsimple has really been much better for me.

Auto-answer with message app

Hi,
I need an app that does this:
When I answer the phone, it mutes the microphone, and plays a recorded file. When the file finishes, the microphone comes back on and I can begin the call.
Why?
I'm starting a business, and want to seem professional.
Legally speaking, I need to record my calls (business phone) and I'd like a way to notify my callers seamlessly.
Does an app like this exist? The auto answer systems dont seem to do it.
If not-I'm very interested if others are able to help me with it.
Thanks!
