All voice input stops working - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

OK Google, pressing the mic in any app, voice typing, etc.
At least 2-3 times per week all my voice input just randomly stops working. I have to do a hard restart to re-enable it. It's really annoying!
Just to add...the microphone button are still there for Google, Google Assistant and Gboard, etc, they just dont work unless I restart phone.
Anyone else seen this and how can it be fixed. Thanks

[Q] Voice input fails after a while

I love the voice input of my Focus but after a while it fails and doesn't accept any sound input. Anyone else having this problem? My solution so far is to restart the phone.

That's a new one for me and sounds pretty odd. Are you trying to call contacts? Mine just misinterprets most of my attempts to dial contacts. MS Voice Command on WM 6.5 was FAR more accurate for me.

Same happens to me! Only restart solves the problem.

Same happened to me and even restarts didn't help. Just tried it after a day of not and it is working again. Weird.
I had the same thing on my phone. I like to think the phone gets tired of listening to me all day, so I turn it off when I go to sleep. Before that, restart fixed it.
reboot doesn't work for me either. I have tried uchecking then rechecking the voice input option under settings. I'm at a loss. I had downloaded the app driving safe.ly and I think that somehow f'ed it up, as you had to purchase the app to use the voice response part of the app. I have since uninstalled it and rebooted, but still no voice input on the android keyboard for sms or voice search.
Anyone know if this problem is device specific? I really want this issue solved. I will write to MS or Samsung to get it resolved I just need to know whoese fault it is.
Still having this problem. Anyone else? Anyone know how to reboot the voice input?
I'm pretty sure this is a known bug. The voice input will stop working after plugging in headphones and you must reset to fix.
If you use headphones and remove them the voice search stops working, calls still work.
This is a Samsung problem and they know about it. You should email them too, cause this has gone on for two months with no fix.
It's not just the voice input application. Shazam fails also. Soft reset solves it for me also.
It's terrible. Shazam, the camera, and voice search all suffer from this.

Voice Dialing(bluetooth) issue: no prompt on phone or in headset

Anyone see this behavior? My voice dialing worked before but just stopped. I have wiped the phone and its still doing this. Bone stock, not rooted.
When I "long press" on my Plantronics headset I get the beep like its going to go into the voice dial and a the screen flashes grey but then gets "minimized" immediately. Then the prompt from the lady comes from the phone headset instead of my bluetooth headset. Also nothing shows up on the screen (where it used to have text matching what the text-to-speech voice said). When i say something in the headset the phone doesnt hear it.
I used to use this regularly so its a bit of an annoyance that it doesnt work. I searched but most people are reporting different issues like recognition, general bluetooth bugs, etc.
In case any archaeologists find this thread it appears something was wrong in some cache somewhere. I ran Clean Master to clear all caches and it magically started working normally again.

With mine it starts google search.
Did you configure the voice commands?
No! What should I do?
The problem is that when I press the headset button, nothing happens! You only hear a beep
But You work? Ex. With bluetooth launch?
raduzione
I activated google and now the "bluetooth headsets" but will not start anything!
Nothing?
seems inconsistent to me.
with the screen on, I get the voice dialer thing (not google voice search, the old school voice dialer)
with screen off, i get nothing. I tried bluetooth launch from the play store and didn't get it working there either.
I also tried this on my Nexus 5 with very similar results....although, I was able to launch google voice search for the first couple times, then it just stopped working.
FWIW, using an LG Tone+ headset and searching for ideas as well.
would love voice search to pop up with the screen off.
Hi,
I have a similar problem with my car bluetooth "talk to dial" button.
When I pair my G2, this button is disabled; when pairing other phones (Nexus 4, Galaxy Nexus) the button is active and starts google now.
I think this is related with the HFP protocol. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I'm trying to work with tasker to get this thing working...but I'm not a tasker power user by any means, so I dont have high hopes

Google Voice Typing not working when Bluetooth headset connected?

Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Whenever I have my Voyage Edge connected to my phone, if I go to enter text on a page using Google Voice Typing the microphone appears but then just hangs. If I disconnect the headset and press the mic on the keyboard again, the icon appears and starts taking my voice input.
Any ideas?
Note: This is on 4.4.2 (stock rooted)
Same thing here but I thought my trigger was that it was in my car dock (but to be fair, putting mine in the dock activates and connects my bluetooth).
Sometimes the first voice input (can be dialer, search, google now etc) will work, then any other attempt just hangs. Undocking allows me to do it but kind of defeats the point.
Hopefully someone can fix this one. I hate when updates take conveniences away (like the audio through usb dock cable issue that seemed to last forever).

Google Assistant not responding to "OK Google"

Hello, I have had my V20 for a couple of months now but seem to have an odd issue with Google Assistant responding to "Ok Google". Basically it does not respond unless the phone is a bout 10cm away from my mouth but when it does eventually respond and starts listening it picks up my voice flawlessly.
I have re-registered my voice multiple times.
Registered my voice from different distances
Wiped the google cache.
Tried it just the stock google launcher.
Excluded google enrolment from the optimised battery settings.
Had a search round XDA and cant find any other suggestions
General phone calls are working without issue.
Phone - H990ds
Software - V10f-TWN-XX
Build - NRD90M
So before I go and wipe the phone any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Hi I've got the same issue have you found a solution yet.
Hi I have the same issue.
Have you always had this problem or is it a recent change?
