How on earth can I make a "calls only" profile on my phone? I have tried half a dozen apps and its laughable how such an open phone is unable to achieve what should be a basic feature.
As you would know google merged the notification and ringtone volume as one in ICS which is the most dumb **** move google could have made. Now most of the profile apps on the playstore can do nothing about this.
I tried profile scheduler and it can only handle the sms app notification volume. I tried elixir 2 and even though it says that it can unlink notification and ring volume but it does not work for me. Then I finally found an app that actually managed to do it! But guess what? It has a horrible bug of randomly deactivating my data connection and I have to restart my phone. I really dont know what its doing to cause that.
Now I could just manually set the notification tone to silent but actually that doesnt work either since many apps and services have their own notification tone settings which cannot be overrided by the system setting.
So does ANYONE have a workable solution for me? My phone is rooted but I aint installing a custom rom just for this. Samsung touchwiz phones still have separate volumes guess samsung wasnt as stupid as google.
I dont think I'll be buying a nexus phone next if I cant find a solution to this soon. Really sad such a petty issue has to ruin it.

Hmm you're out of luck if the apps don't cut it for you. If you're rooted then flash a ROM....you are missing out on truly useful features not present on stock. If you're not into flashing on principle, get over it if you don't flash due to uncertainty then read up on it, super simple.
Some top ROMS are Slim Bean, Rascarlo, plus many others.
Good luck

Have you tried this?

Custom roms got you covered though, don't know of any without unlinked volumes.
Why not flash a custom rom, you have a nexus, I don't think it gets any easier to flash a rom on phone. People make these roms and make features that don't and won't exist on a stock rom.
I am using baked black bean 6. It has the option to unlink call and notification volumes. Also it supports profiles. I think it's worth trying a custom ROM when you need additional features.

Yes thats actually the one that worked but had the data connection bug. I have emailed the dev and he has no idea why that would happen.
On the nexus S I will install custom rom if I am unable to find a decent solution. However I dont know if I'll want to buy the nexus 4 knowing that I would need custom rom for basic functionality so I am gonna try to make this work out without custom rom.
I agree this is dumbest thing Google has done in Android recently. On gingerbread, i had always rocked stock rooted, or something close like pete's bugless beast. On a fundamental level they need to change this, but I think that it's probably motivated from their desire to unify the tablet and phone platforms.
I'm on CM10 now, and have been since ics linked the volumes. It irritates me to no end that every month or so, my phone slows to a crawl and i have to do a full wipe and re-flash. Never had to do this on stock gb. But that's a whole different issue.

yup, android is very flexible in regards to flashing
you truly are missing out on a lot of other features. and you necessarily have to give up a lot of space/speed for it, some roms are dedicated to keeping things as much stock as possible, just because of that, they mostly contain the "stock" rom with exactly those features you want and in other cases you can just go with a rooted/deodexed rom and flash just those mods that you need. in most cases, the latter has almost no effect on performance
Why don't you go flash a custom rom? Sorry but Google has millions of customers and it can't please everyone. There's a very fast way to fix all of this, and that is just simply flashing a custom rom. These roms are very stable and nothing is going to happen. Since you're already rooted why don't you give it a shot and then come back here and complain if it doesn't work?
I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I'm hoping that I can get some help as I was never able to find this solution via Google.
Anyhow, I'm running LiquidSmooth 2.9/Franco.K on a Nexus 4, but I can't seem to figure out for the life of me how to make the OS-integrated quiet hours work. I can't find any guide for setup and they do not seem to be working for me.
Can someone explain if this works on the Nexus or how?
Bump. I know I probably shouldn't do this, but I would really like to know if there's an answer.
I'll assume that Liquid has them under Settings>Sounds>Quiet Hours as well?
It should be as easy as: Enable, set your hours, check the boxes for the things you want disabled, done.
There's no trick to it, and I've never seen it NOT work on a ROM yet, although I've never run Liquid. The only thing it won't do is silence notifications where the app uses the wrong API and uses a ringtone vs a notification tone.

Hmmm. I wonder if that's the case. I'll have to borrow my brother's phone and experiment. Many thanks!
So i use "ok google" a lot and have on all of my phones. But i constantly am having issues with my Nexus 6p, it will simply not work and when i press the mic button on the google search widget it tells me "cannot access microphone" a reboot fixes it or simply waiting a little bit then it will work again. It's anyone else having this problem??
Haven't seen this one personally. That sucks sorry.
I had that problem when I had cortana. It had taken priority. Prior phone though.

Unless you specify what is installed on the phone, what ROM, etc.
It's difficult to help.
I would start disabling the apps I installed prior to this happening.

Yea sorry, stock no special add ons and minimal app, facebook, instagram, ect very simple i have other phones and tablets to play i keep this guy stock for now
i have this problem too occasionally. a reboot fixes.
as someone else already mentioned, i suspect some other program is taking over the mic but i haven't figured out which one yet.
what's weird is that only okay google and the home screen search bar mic is busted when this happens. i can still use the mic to search in chrome and to do anything else (like write a text or whatever).
anyway, keeping an eye on this thread in case anyone figures out what the guilty app is.
May try going to app settings for the Google app (press and hold on it in the app drawer and drag it to app info is the fastest way)
And then go to permissions. Mic should be on. If it's not turn it on. If it is on, try turning it off then back on?

Do any of you have Smart Lock with Trusted Voice enabled?
Same Issue
I also have this issue. My phone is non rooted. Only broken through the search widget. I was using nova launcher. Now using google launcher to see if that cures the issue. So far so good. Will now download my common used apps and see if anything breaks it. I really hope it was'nt Nova. I'll cry. I did speak to Google and they will replace the phone under warranty but I am going to test first anyways. I won't be returning my phone to google anytime soon as they want to pre authorize another charge on my credit card to ship me the device well behold I don't have enough available credit for a pre auth. Said they have no other options. So if your phone is under warranty and needs to be replaced make sure you have a good credit limit. I even offered to send them my phone before they sent me the new one but they said I cannot do that. So upset with google right now and their returns.
I had the same issue as OP, as recent as this past weekend. I was stock/normal rooted, no special launcher, no cortana. Microphone worked fine for speakerphone, but i could not use voice search on Google now on my phone, my moto watch, or android auto in my car. Weird how one issue spans three devices.
google searches yielded nothing. i deleted tons of apps and nothing. i went ahead and just flashed the whole stock rom, and it works normal now.
Check the permissions settings.
I am having the same problem as the OP. Glad to know I'm not alone.

Reading the thread, had anyone solved this problem? I took the advice on checking the permission settings and found that all permissions are allowed except for storage and camera (or was it contacts? I don't remember exactly, both of them are lcoated closely). Anyhow, I decided to just allow all permissions, walla it seemed to have solved the problem, I pressed my finger on the microphone at the back of the phone and said "ok google" and it responded. Can anyone else try to see if this works?
This new permission structure has its fair share of problems, I have plenty apps crashing because of only partial permission allowed, Skype being one of them
So I just updated my phone to G935tuvu4apia_tmb using the guide in the Tmobile Galaxy S7 Edge Development forum, and then I proceeded to Uninstall a bunch of bloatware and system apps (because package disabler pro doesn't work on G935tuvu4apia_tmb for me for some reason). I had accidentally deleted something called "Universal Switch", then, stupidly.. I had already deleted all of the backups for the things I had uninstalled before I had run through my phone making sure I didn't Uninstall anything important by accident. Lo and behold, it turns out that I need Universal Switch. Does anybody have a way that I can download and reinstall that on my phone? I would really rather prefer not to have to go back and refresh everything using Odin, as I literally just finished restoring, logging in, personalizing, and setting everything else up on my phone, and that took me a day and a half. So if anyone has a way for me to reinstall that on my phone I would greatly appreciate it, and I have definitely learned my lesson through this whole experience. I posted a picture of why I think I need Universal Switch, if I'm just crazy, and misunderstanding the issue I'm having then I'd appreciate someone informing me and educating me on the matter. Thanks again.
So I couldn't figure out how to attach a picture to this post, so here is a link to the screenshot of the issue I'm having.
I can't post outside links yet, so put a "Dropbox" and a ".com" in front of the text below to complete the link.

I think that is just the text to speech......
Universal switch is for smart switch I think. Not sure

Solution?
Well if it's just tts, do you know of any solution for getting passed this thing on my phone? If you check out the screenshot I linked, the issue is, whenever I go to settings, accessibility, scroll all the way down to services, then try to turn anything in services on, I get that pop up, then I click turn on on that pop up, and then it says "unfortunately settings has stopped". I am unable to turn anything on under services in the accessibility settings. There, that is a vast improvement from my original post of the description of the issue I am having. If I click on settings on the pop up, it goes to the tts settings page and just sits there loading forever.
Package Disabler Pro and disable it... Turn it off under Inputs....
As for the services issue... maybe reflash only the AP of the rom, which I believe keeps all apps and internal storage... That should fix that issue... You will have to reconfig your ish, but that should fix and farks....
It honestly sounds like you have a corrupt install to begin with because you CAN'T use Package Disabler.. Did you try the different ones?? I know one did NOT work for me as well... then one did...
Has anyone attempted to use The Google Dialer and get call screening working? Wasn't sure if anyone had yet, but was curious. I'd gotten it working on my 6T and 7 Pro, but understand the development has been very different for our device.

I couldn't get call screening working granted I didn't exactly try that hard to get it working. Just systemized the dialer app and flashed Google dialer framework magisk module
Idk what else is needed to make it work.
I bet I can get it working. I remember a
the thread for the OnePlus 7 Pro about call screening, everyone said that it wasn't working, I had mine up and running without any problems. Currently I'm waiting for my unlock token from OnePlus, so I can't confirm if this method will work, but I'll tell you exactly what I did before and I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work now. Try it out and then let me know if it works or not. It doesn't, maybe we can come up with a workaround.
The version number of the dialer that you use is critical. New versions of the Google dialer from the Play store via Google Framework do not work. Here's the link to the APK that I used:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...le-phone-39-0-270797297-android-apk-download/
The initial steps I performed were downloading the Magisk modules Busybox for NDK, Google Framework, and App Systemizer alongside installing Preferences Manager from the Play Store.
Then I cleared the storage for the stock dialer app, denied all of its permissions, and finally disabled it. Then I used App Systemizer to convert the Google Dialer into a system app. When App Systemizer gives you the option to install either the app as a 1 - system app or 2 - priv-app, always choose number 2. Then make sure to go into system settings and choose the Google Dialer as the default dialer app, otherwise icall screen won't work at all. Also go ahead and clear Google Dialer's storage while enabling all of it's permissions. Also go under Apps & Notifications in the system menu and choose special app access. Enable the Google Dialer to draw over other apps, modify system settings, and have usage access.
Next open up Preferences Manager. Grant it superuser access and from options choose "show system apps". Scroll down the list until you come to where you start seeing entries for "phone". On my old OnePlus 7 Pro, the one to choose was the first one listed as "phone". It didn't have an icon next to it versus the stock Dialer app which did. When you open this option up, swipe from left to right until you get to the heading "dialer_phenotype_flags.xml". First, choose backup under the menu in case there's a problem afterwards and you need to restore the flags to their previous settings. Then go to the search field and search for all the flags with "speak_easy", "speakeasy", "call_screen", and "callscreen", then update all of these flags with values of "true".
The way to determine if this procedure worked is to now open up ithe Google Dialer and choose the three dot menu and choose "Settings". You should see an option listed for "Call Screen". If you do see it then the process worked.
Let me know if you need any further information but I think that should work.

Just finished trying this, worked like a charm! Thank you so much! This was the only thing making me consider going back to my pixel 3a xl, but now it's clear that you can have the best of both worlds!
Should we post this in the Mods category for this device? I know a lot of people would be happy to have this!
First off I'm so glad to hear that it worked for you! It's a pretty nifty feature and I personally think it's pretty cool.
To be honest with you, that was pretty much my first time ever posting anything to XDA. Most of the time I just go through the forums and tried to get new features to work on my phone, but hardly ever participate in the actual discussions
if you honestly think this could help other XDA members get this up and running, I'd love to help. But to be honest with you I'm not really familiar with starting a thread and stuff like that. If you don't mind, could you tell me what I need to do to do that? Is that like starting a new thread somewhere in the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren edition discussions? I'm an absolute total new when it comes to posting and forums and discussion groups, and I have no idea what the protocol is for doing something like that. I'd really appreciate it if you could kind of guide me in the right direction or make some suggestions as to how I go about doing it.
Well, just to reiterate, I'm really excited that it work for you and hopefully we can get it to work for other people as well. Just respond to this message and let me know what I can do to help. Thanks again!

Personally, running a year old version of Google Dialer just to get Call Screen isn't worth it. Have you tested Call Screen to see if it actually fully works? Or if in reality the person calling hears nothing at all?

I've been running it with no issues on OOS and it works perfectly fine. Tested call screening and it works perfectly fine. Personally, I think it's worth it.
I'm running AOSiP now and I've yet to test it there. But OOS is confirmed to be working with it.
Has anybody been able to make it work on any of the custom ROMs? I tried smreker's steps on aosip but I couldn't get Google dialer to install. Just finished flashing lineage and aside from the fingerprints, this thing is running like it's good enough to say bye bye to oxygen.

I was testing today on aosip ROM and it did not work. The caller can't hear the Google assistant voice. I'm going to be looking into this more to see why it works on stock ROM, but not a customer ROM..
Aosip ships with Google dialer pre-installed, so you need to use debloat magisk module to uninstall it, and then reinstall it with the older APK file.. I may have messed up the installation on my end, so any other testing from other users would be greatly appreciated. I may reach out to the developers to see if they can figure out what I may be missing.
I never reinstalled another dialer app, so that could have something to do with it. However, I don't see why that would be the case, but you never know with these things. Thinking about it now, I didn't remove telophony apps on the phone either, so that could also have something to do with it? Any ideas?

I'm trying to think of the different variables that could affect it, maybe something I did, that I didn't mention. Did you disable your stock dialer? Cause I tried it to today and it works super, transciptions and everything. Nothing should be different than the previous instructions, besides spoofing the device fingerprint. Maybe try disabling it and clearing data and then enabling it again?
Edit: I just read your previous posts. Never mind the stock dialer. This new method works with the latest Google phone update, so maybe try reverting your stock dialer back and then updating it?

That's a little beyond my expertise. I can only describe what I did, and those steps made it work for me. I haven't heard any other reports of it not working or working so we shall see. I'm thinking that the downloads for call screening are corrupted for you or something, if you're saying that the audio is not working, if you could clear that and start the process afresh?
