UK users: Google Maps Navigation working?

Just seen this thread over in the Desire section - looks like Navigation is working in the UK now without needing to hack maps etc!
Quick test shows it appears to be working fine, haven't been out anywhere but it's giving locations, step by step directions etc!
Anyone else confirmed?
Holy cr*p it does seem to be doesn't it?
I'm stuck in work at the moment, but the navigation option has appeared and I can get it to launch. May have to go for a drive at lunch just to test it
Can anyone confirm it is working? I would LOVE to ditch Co-pilot.
I really hope it isn't an error on Google's part, which they are shortly going to correct and take it away again!?
Yeah, the option has appeared, I cant get a GPS signal tho as im stuck inside at work too.
Awesome update
It is working on my unrooted nexus one. It warns it is BETA version but who cares as Google always beta anyway. Version 4.1.1(#4156)
I did not even realise from the last update they had enabled it. No mention of it
How do i get to the turn bu tyrn navigation? When going to car home, navigation, then enter the end point, then i get some driving directions i can either see on a map, or as text, but i dont get that real turn på turn navigation, is there something you should activate or something like that?
Iam from Denmark btw, i wanted to test out if it maybe was opened to other parts of Europe aswell.
Exciting! Want to test it.
When I edge my chair closer to the window and start waving my phone towards the sky, people look at me nervously.

there should an option name "Navigate" just above the "directions". Ensure you have version 4.1.1

Nope dont seem like it, i do not have that navigate option, so it looks like it is only the UK they have opened for. I have the newest maps update, and running stock rom on my nexus one.

Working for me . Running CM 5.0.5.3.
I tried via Google Maps first of all and the option wasnt there, so I installed Nav Launcher from the market and that seems to generate directions.

Thank you for the link.

PS But thanks again to Brut for his hack that made it work on the old version of Google Maps..)
can confirm its working here too.
In UK with latest Cyanogen on N1.
Been using CoPilot so far which has been ok, but id like to see how google's fair.
This is very cool and it has been released by google quicker than I thought it would have been. I haven't used it for a long journey but compared to the hacked version it seems to tell you the instructions before the junction rather than after so good work google. This is some nice proof that google is working hard to improve nexus one. One other note is my version says htc passion and nexus one and it also has my locale as eng (uk).
Awesome, that's [brut] Maps and Nav Launcher gone from my phone.
Great work, Google!
Yup, working on mine too.
The voice search is superb, just tap the voice search button on the Google search bar, then say "Navigate to" followed by the destination...
Yay. That's the tomtom in the dustbin as soon as my car mount arrives.
Navigation looks really good.. street names too, which was a surprise.
if i try and use the google maps application i get force close every time it searches for directions it works if i use nav launcher though...anyone got any ideas?
im using latest cm with nextheme and avs kernel...
thanks

[Q] Google Now Hotword Detection Not Working - RESOLVED

It used to be that when I opened Google Now, the search bar would say "Say 'Google' to Search". But now that option has gone away. I checked my settings and hotword detection is on, so it should be working. I have tried just saying "google" but that didn't work. I tried reverting back to an older verion of the google searchapp, but that didn't solve the problem. I'm running CM10.1 Jan 25 Nightly. It was working a week ago when I was still running CM10.1, so it may just be that something about the newer versions of CM10.1 aren't working. I've tried reinstalling the app from the play store, but that didn't fix it either, and I'm out of ideas.

The issue for me was using the voice notify app. I contacted the developer and this is what I got
"I was able to reproduce the issue and have narrowed
it down to the Accessibility feedback type for VN being set to 'spoken'. With
that, it's kind of obvious that Google Now is designed not to listen for
"Google" when an accessibility service might be speaking.
I tried to work around it by setting the feedback type to generic and only
setting it to spoken while VN speaks, but it prevented VN from speaking at all.
That said, I don't believe there is anything I can do. Probably for the best
since it's usually not a good idea to circumvent design."
So if you're not using voice notify, i'm guessing it's some other accessibility app that's screwing it up. It's very annoying.
I think the hotword also only works if your language is set to English (US). My phone is set to English (UK) and "Google" doesn't work.
on my Nexus 7 the hotword detection has never worked and I cannot figure it out.
Not working for me currently, not sure why.
Set the language to english US. After setting this, for me it's working

I already have that setting.
Not using CM right this second, but I had this problem today. One of the keyboard/input options was "Google voice typing". When I turned that OFF, Hotword detection started working again. Just an idea.
I'm on 4.2.2 CM10.1 on S2 (i9100).
It worked like a charm, but few days back I've noticed, that despite the fact that I have the feature turned on, I am using US English, my voice recognition works perfect, it doesn't work.

I had this issue as well.
In order to make it work again:
1. Turn on Google voice typing in the keyboard setting
2. go to Google Now setting and then Voice
3. Set the language to English... and choose english (US)
You should be getting hotword recognition now.
I had this same issue and this is what I did to fix it:
In Google Now go to
Settings>Voice>Download offline speech recognition>under ALL tab select English (US)
Enjoy your Hotword detection once again! :good:

Google Now search problems need advice

I have a Nexus player and after about the first week the voice search from the remote stopped working.
So what I did was I did a few reboots and cleared out some apps but that didn't help. I checked to see if there's any updates in the play store and there were not.
What I see now is that it's hit or miss on if the search even works (more misses and then hit) but more than that when I press down on the microphone button on the remote and record my question or search it keeps recording it doesn't stop.
The other thing is even if it does record it and stop it doesn't pull up any information. One of the reasons why I got the player was for android and was for the search integration right now I don't have it any help would be appreciated thank you.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Same here. I find the search only works on the main screen (not from an app) and in order to stop recording, I need to press the middle button after I said my bit.
I'll try that tip but man what a fail. How does google create a device like this with this many flaws.

My voice seemed to work fine until I upgraded (er... downgraded?) to M 6.0 and rooted it. Didn't test it after M and before rooting though. Now its really hit or miss.
I'm not rooted. Just installed a few apps and then it didn't work.

Yeah same with me. Voice search worked fine for a couple weeks now nothing.

Do you mean this? nd the mic icon keeps moving like it's detecting more voice....
Turn off automatic app updates, then go to play store and uninstall the app called Google App for Android TV. It will revert to the version shipped with the device which seems to work for me.

Remove the bleepin Google Assistant from the 6P

It was with great horror that I discovered that Google is now forcing the effin' Google Assistant down our throats. Home long press now launches this abomination of an app. Quickly figured out how to disable the crapware, but nowong press of home does nothing. So Google, of you are reading this....
I DON'T WANT TO BE TALKING TO MY PHONE ALL THE TIME, I HAVE A LIFE AND PEOPLE TO TALK TO.
Is there a way to recover the old functionality? I want long press to launch the old style Google app. If no, what is the version of the last update that does not include this POS software? I had not updated for a while and now this...
Apologies for fuming, it is just so freaking invasive on Google's part to ot even ask if I want to opt in.
PS setting ro.opa.eligible_device=false does NOT do the trick. Grrrr, this is getting more annoying by the minute
Someone on Reddit says you can change your language to US Virgin Islands to get the old now on tap back if that's what you're wanting. I haven't tried this myself though.

Yes, this works, the original source may be here
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...ndroid-device-switch-back-google-now-0174676/
Unfortunately editing the build.prop does not seem to do the trick for me. I have to wonder how long before Google screws up that workaround.
I am curious, is there ANYONE out there who wants to ALWAYS talk to their phone and have the phone talk to them. Say you are in the middle of a meeting and want to quickly check on something. What is Google thinking? Or am I missing something?

You can still type in searches using the Google search bar without talking. I prefer Google Assistant to the old functionality but I guess everyone uses their phone differently. Most people likely consider GA an enhancement rather than an intrusion like you do. Many people were unhappy that it was only offered officially on the Pixel but you can't please everybody.
All you have to do is turn GA off within settings.

Sadly this is not true. When you disable it in settings and long press home it pops up and says, Google Assistant is currently disabled, would you like to enable it? Options for yes or no. Yes pops up with assistant and no just disabled the window with no further actions. It doesn't revert to the old now on tap functionality.
i want to delete Google Assistant permanently, any clue ?
I'm surprised this thread doesn't have more attention. Before I had assistant I was trying to get it early on my device but now I am trying to go back to now on tap just because of the ease of use and time it takes to get to google.
The best workaround I found was this SwipeUp utility app. You can press and hold either your home button or fingerprint scanner to open straight to the Google app instead of the popup assistant (which is basically a blank screen until you say something or press on the keyboard symbol to type a search) it works really well.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AdrianCampos.swipeuputility
No solution's to this yet? This is absurd.
@tolol @applePhx in this thread someone recommends deleting the Google Home App folder from /system using twrp to get completely rid of Google Assistant. Haven't tested it though

Voice recognition issue

Hi,
Voice recognition is not working any more on my OP5. For instance, if I want to speech an SMS text, I press the mike icon, the google speech box appears , but the sound is not registered. Same issue with google Assistant : "OK GOOGLE" not working any more and if I press the micro icon, a dot line appears but no result.
I checked the microphone by registring a file : it's working properly.
I have already tried an hard reset : no success.
My OP5 is not rooted and I am using the official ROM.
Thanks for your help
Settings>Apps>Tap the Gear icon top right>Tap Assist & voice input and make sure you choose Google in Assist app
Thanks for your answer. Google was correctly settled as assist app. Still not working.
I mean if you're stock, completely wiped everything, and it still doesn't work, but Mic still records... that's weird. I assume other apps like Cortana work fine?
---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 AM ----------
Make sure you do a clean install.. not restore from backup. And make sure your Google privacy settings are okay.
Hi,
I fully wiped the phone. I tried with a brand new email adress. No joy !
And cortana works fine
I downloaded the update (oxygen 4.5.13 android 7.1.1). Still no joy
When I go to activities log on my google account, I can find empty audio files for each time I tried a voice recognition (search mike icon)
You are right : it's weird !!!
Update Google app, then go check through all settings to be sure everything is switched on that you need. Will also need to retrain "ok Google". I had the same problem as you, and some other voice and typing issues.

Check your app permissions. Go to Apps, then got gear wheel in top right corner. Tap on App permissions, scroll and tap Microphone. Go through list of Apps, make sure switch is turned on for Google and any other app you may need microphone turned on for. Maybe this will help.

Sorry it didn't work. I had problems with my OP5 too with the "Ok Google" and speech to text. I looked everywhere in the phone settings and messed with Google Assistant. Even uninstalled and reinstalled Google App and Uninstalled updates to any Play store and services. Eventually, through all of this i finally got mine to work. And, i updated my Oxygen OS from 4.5.5 to 4.5.10 too. Keep trying and don't give up. Good Luck. [emoji3]

I noticed mine occasionally was working intermittently, regarding the voice typing/speech to text. I have since installed Google Now launcher and switched home launcher, to that instead of the OnePlus 5 home launcher. Now it seems to be working perfectly every time. Maybe give that a try..

Hi,
I noticed two interesting points :
. Every time I try to use Google voice recognition in an application (SMS for example), there is a short notice telling that the audio file will be registered in my google account
. When I check my activities on line in my google account, I can find short file of few seconds (with no voice) every time related to my voice recognition trials.

What sms app are you using? I have seen some sms apps show that notice, but the one I'm using right now doesn't ever show me that and it works fine.
I'm thinking you may have an issue with the sms app and/or the virtual keyboard app you're using. You may want to try another sms app and different keyboard, and check all the settings in those when you do. If it doesn't help you can always switch those apps back..

Thanks for your answer. In fact, same issue with the search app. The dot line remain still...and there is a recorded file in Google activities. I tried with différent keyboards (Google and SwiftKey). Same issue.
Well. Tonight I managed to use voice recognition with a jack headset (OK google or Google search) :laugh:.
So I think the issue is with the internal microphone impossible to trigger.

I just thought of something, before you try to send phone back. Take your phone out of case and turn it off. Take a can of compressed air and use the straw it comes with. Spray it in short bursts. Use it in the mic port and any other ports too. You might have gotten dust or lint in there. Then turn your phone back on and try speech recognition without the headphone plugged into the jack.

Thx, I will try. I experienced another way with Bluetooth headset. Impossible to trigger "ok google" with my voice. But after a manual trigger by pressing the icon, I can speak and voice recognition is ok.
So, to resume regarding "ok google" and general Google voice recognition :
. Internal mike : failure
. Wired headset : ok
. Bluetooth headset : no trigger, but voice recognised after.
And remember the microphone is ok for other purposes (phone, cortana, vocal message registering,...)
Seems to be a soft problem
I have the same issue. Google voice services won't register any sound. Is there any fix?
