Keep pressing on it was there a way to disable it. I've tried a few apps and they don't work well.

There are some game apps for when your kid has your phone. Is this for general use? Or just when your kids are on it
General use been trying volume apps seem to crash once and awhile. Was wondering if there's any way to disable it completely.

I know some of the kid game apps do that, would just have to find out what functions they use to do it.
Google Voice search won't launch android music player. If I use the right command "listen to", it offers music player as a choice but then doesn't pass the query to the player-- I select android music player and it starts playing a random song.
Also, when using a bluetooth earpiece, pushing the call button brings up Google Voice Dialer (and not google search). It doesn't respond to anything I say at that point. How do I get the native Google Voice assistant to come up instead?
I'm running MDOB 1.8.
I just moved from Iphone so it would be great to get these quite basic features to work on my S4...

Why don't you use S-Voice--just asking--it does all I need extremely well
I'm trying to get rid of the bloatware. The S4 is unacceptably slow until you strip the junk out. And I thought Google Voice Assist was much better than Siri-- but it seems to be broken on many phones right now.

Interesting, mine is extremely smooth and fast even before I rooted. I still have not removed any apps. It was a long process to decide to root and flash twrp as things were going very well.
Did you set animations to .5 and check disable hw overlays in development section of settings/more?
As far as S-Voice it is far better than any other voice to text I ever used. Esp when speaking addresses in Maps--
Hope you get it sorted
Hey guys I just got done installing CM 12.1 on my Nexus Player and was doing some testing for work. What I need to do is play a google slide in a loop which doesn't seem to work as far as I can see but just wanted to see if anybody has gotten anything like this working. Google Slides installed fine and it seems to let me edit the presentations fairly easily but there doesn't seem to be a play button anywhere in the app like there is on my phone so I just wanted to ask around before I gave up on it. Thanks guys!!
It has been noticed that with new version of Google Play Music that Moto Display only shows thumb up, previous track and pause/play buttons.
It has also been noted that Moto Display looks for the 1st 3 available options in an app, and since the Google Play Music app was updated the first 3 options are not as useful as they had been.
My question is who is responsible for the fix? Does Google need to update the app again to be more compatible with Moto Display, or does Motorola have to update Moto Display?
This is a useful feature to me that I would love to take advantage of, and I would like to know who to express my concern to..
thanks
This is a Motorola fix. There is a thread somewhere that shows the MotoDisplay app basically just picks the first three "controls" that the music app has available, which is normally Back-Play/Pause-Next. Now it's Thumbs Up - Back - Pause.

If someone does find a fix, please post it here - it's annoying the heck out of me that the second-most-used option (forward) has been replaced by thumbs up, so you have to unlock just to forward the track.
I'm looking for this fix as well...
I made a post in the moto forums.. The mod said this "Fix coming in Always on Display updates, starting next month. I understand it will be more than one release before this is addressed for all software versions. Hang in there!" No help at all, as usual. To remedy the situation for the time being, I uninstalled all google play music updates and downloaded the latest version of it from apk mirror that has the correct music controls on moto display. Version 6.1.2116T.2441907 Make sure you uncheck auto updates in the play store and dont update.
Thank you for the post op, and thanks for the build number for the apk
I have a 2014 Toyota Corolla LE.
I had a Nexus 6P. No issues at all.
I broke it and could only afford to replace it with a Nexus 5X. Project Fi.
Bluetooth lagged. Mouth moving on YouTube is off from what sound is playing.
Also, every time I started my car and switched to bluetooth a ringtone would start playing and wouldn't stop. You stop it and it starts back up again. You can play YouTube or Bandcamp, but the ringtone still played. This was a custom ringtone of my own I had dropped in the Ringtones folder. Not sure what the correct fix is, but changing my ringtone and deleting the file fixed it. I then stored the file in a different directory and re-added as a ringtone problem lagged.
Just got the LG V20 tonight. I was hoping it was just an issue with the 5X, but now seems it might be an LG thing? New phone does the same thing. Bluetooth lag. One of LG's ringtones plays on repeat every time I start bluetooth. I have no idea where they are stored. The ringtones folder is empty.

I'm surprised that the phone is playing your ringtones. Do you have a third party app for playing music? I'd think the built in app would know to not play ringtones.
I think maybe if you put an empty file in the ringtone directory (I think called nomedia) it will stop playing the ringtone.
Of course the next problem may be that you won't have privileges to do that without root access.

Thanks. This is a brand new phone. I had absolutely NOTHING installed except for what came with the phone. I bought the phone, the guy said it takes 5-10 minutes to port over a phone number. I walked out to my car and my old phone already had no service! It was that quick! So I unboxed this phone and turned it on. The first thing I did while sitting in the parking lot was to remove all bloatware that it would let me. It had games installed and other crap. I didn't do any updates until I got home on WiFi.
The thing is the ringtone didn't start playing right away. I was listening to music from YouTube on my way home. I stopped for a bite to eat, drove home, and I don't remember when the ringtone started, but now every time my car starts (and it's on bluetooth) the ringtone starts playing on loop. Last night my Aunt/Uncle was over, so I couldn't park in the driveway. Cars aren't allowed to be on the street after midnight, so eventually I went out and moved my car. My phone was in the house and the main screen was off. When I came back in the house the ringtone was playing and the player was on the little screen.

I decided not to delete the ringtone in case I ever want it for something.
Let's see what happens now I set a custom ringtone of my own. When I had the Nexus 5X on, I had this dance song that I cut a piece out of.. it would loop "you can fight, but you can't always win" over and over.
So I looked. It's Google Play music that is opening. It plays the LG Life Is Good song over and over. Putting a nomedia file did not work.

Wierd.
You might check settings in Google PLay, and see if you can specify a path for it to play music from on your phone. If music is kept in a specific folder, say Music, and set the app to play music only from that folder, maybe that'll help.
I don't use Google Play Music, so I'm just reaching here.

I do not use Google Play Music either. In fact, I don't store music on my phone. It's on a USB drive directly in my car's dashboard. It never leaves.
Anyway, I may have found a fix, but it's 4:30AM and I can't exactly go outside and make noise, plus I am tired.
I opened the Play Music App and in settings there's something that says "Manage Downloads". On the bottom it shows the LG Life Is Good sound. I hit clear queue to get rid of it. I'm confident this will work, but I'll know when I wake up in 9 or 10 hours.

I'm confused. You said it is Google Play Music, then you said you don't use Google PLay Music.
I think any Google apps you DON'T use should just be uninstalled. As far as that goes, I uninstall all apps, or disable them, that I don't use.
On another note: I find it interesting that nobody else is replying here. I am finding the community for the LG V20 to be much less active than what I experienced in the Samsung forums. Also related to the community...no stickies for things that are so commonly needed.

I do not use Google Play Music. You cannot uninstall it. It comes with the phone. Might be part of Google Play. But anyway, you cannot uninstall it unless you are rooted. There is no root for Sprint LG V20 far as I know yet.
Other apps you cannot uninstall: Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messanger, Sprint Spot, and some other Sprint stuff. I don't use any of that stuff.
While there is an "uninstall" button.. that is the most annoying feature. It uninstalls updates only and brings it back to the version that was installed with your phone, then it's annoying because it always shows you have an update ready.
Anyway, I haven't been outside yet to start up my car, but I think it'll solve my problem.
Interesting. As you might have guessed, I don't have my V20 yet. It's disheartening to hear some of those apps that can't be uninstalled. I wonder why they install apps not theirs that are obviously available on Play Store.
I guess I'll be forced to root.
I hope things work out for you. Keep me posted. I may find myself in the same boat.
You should be able to disable it.

Although, I still find it interesting that Google Play Music is part of the rom.
I think using Force Stop and Disabling is the only way to stop the madness, as I cleared out the Playlist and it automatically added my current ringtone.
Anecdotal but this sounds familiar to me. I feel like my husband may have been complaining about a similar issue with his phone playing some default preloaded music file when it connects to his car's Bluetooth.
The thing is.... He has a note 3 and a 2014 Ford Focus ST. So... Hmmm.
I'll have to see if it's really the same thing. I'll try to remember to ask him about it tomorrow.

I was previously with Sprint with an HTC One M8, but switched to Googles Project Fi, and now back to Sprint with the LG V20.
What I've noticed is it seems root seems to come out on other networks before they come out on Sprint. I can't comment on what software other companies pre-load on your system, but both times Sprint had 15-20 things. Some of it could be removed.. a few games, etc, but some cannot be removed so I Force Stopped them and Disabled them. I am unsure what comes back if I reboot my phone, but whatever for now I'll keep stopping them if I have to.
