BT Voice Dialer Help - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright, I've gotten pretty desperate now, so I'm making a post of it. A couple of days ago my Captivate's BT voice dialer stopped working. Anytime I try to activate it, it never gets past the startup stage. I have tried all kinds of VoiceDialer.apks and none have fixed the problem and only one even installs. I've also gone into Perception 10.3's zip file and restored the original version and still nada.
I'm at my wits end here and any help would be appreciated. I really need bt voice dial to work, our Perception is only marginally more effective for me than stock, no offense to DG's amazing work.

try going into Settings>Applications>manage applications> ALL > voice dialer > clear data
this can also be done through titanium backup.
and some more questions:
did this happen when you flashed the rom? or after? or unsure?
is this only when bt is connected? if so try clearing bt user data. (you will need to re pair)

This occurred before I even thought about reflashing the ROM. It, and the random vibrations, started up after I flashed to SpeedMod K13A. The normal voice dialer works fine, but doing it via bt does not. It only appears to be a problem with google one, since Vlingo works, in its limited capacity. I will try clearing the app data and

Gah, stupid swype. I will try out the app data and see if that works. Let me know if your have any other suggestions.

Ok, just went in and Voice Dialler (that's what the system calls it) does not have any data to clear. I'm not sure if this is because I can't get the perception 10 apk to install our something else

Ok, have just re-paired my T1 to my Captivate and still the same thing. I am also thinking that something is stealth crashing (crashing when you don't get the force close message) when the BT Voice Dialer is activated because it get stuck at starting up and I get about 3 vibrations when it first loads up. This is getting quite tiresome. Any suggestions or should I just try to reflash all over again?

I'm having the SAME exact issue. A few people here have offered advice which didn't work for me, but mostly I'm ignored because it seems to be "my problem" since not enough people seem to be having this issue.
If I flash back to stock using ODIN market downloads are snappy again.

Is this happening on 3g or wifi connection?
I have seen this issue..i have three captivates all running cog5.5 and only one seems to have occasional problem with market...not sure exactly what causes problem but toggling wifi, clearing cache or rebooting seems to correct it
I am not patient so I don't wait an hour for a download....if it does not work I just try the above in that order and usually one of the first two works but reboot always fixes

It happens in 3g and its all the time, each and every single download. In wifi its normal and snappy. I know its not my network coz web is fast and everything. Rebooting doesnt work too, clearing market data too so what else could I do?

Just because your browser experience is good does not in and of itself completely eliminate your 3g connection a being the cause. One thing to try is attempting market downloads from a few different locations - this would help eliminate your data connection if your experience was the same at different locations.
I have a few more questions. have you flashed any custom roms? if you have flashed did you restore apps and data with TiB? Are you running any lag fixes? Are you using any task killers?
The downloads are the same everywhere and with browsing its faster than the iphone 4 I even compared them. Im runing the cognition 5 beta I think, I never restored anything and never screwed with the one click lag fix

Settings» About Phone - the build number at the bottom wil tell you which version of cog you are running.
When you say the market is slow everywhere - does it always everywhere jump out to a certain percentage than drop off to a slow crawl? And when you say everywhere - how many different locations and how far apart were they?
When you cleared the market data cache did you force close the market app first before clearing the cache?
And are you using any task killers?
Im actually runining cognition beta4, and im using the defult tast menager that came with the rom. Its all over the place, I could be 30 miles away from home and the downloads speed for market are slow. Usally it jumps to 14% or 33% and than just slows down like crazy and goes by 1%

It sounds like something is corrupted that market uses on your phone that is causing your network connection to crash while downloading. If the following does not clear it up you may need to reflash cog
go settings» wireless and network and put your phone into flight mode.
Then go settings» applications» manage applications - go to the "All" tab - scroll down and select the market app - here select force stop - then select clear data.
Then reboot your phone.
Turn off flight mode and retry your market.
Ok so I did what you told me, with no results. Still the same. How would I flash to beta 5 cognition? Can I just install it using rom menager and install it over the version I have now? Also how would I do it without losing anything. Also thank you for trying to help me!

Unless you go through the kernel swapping steps rom manager will not work with COG 2.2b4. Secondly - to be sure and get rid of what ever is causing your problem you wil be better off doing doing a full wipe anyway.
I use google contacts (www.google.com/contacts) and google colander (www.google.com/calendar) and then sync my phone with those each time I am done flashing. I move any pics, movies, and documents I want to save to my external sd card - and then I remove my external sd card for the flashing process (i also keep a backup copy of all these things on my pc). Any apps can be re downloaded from the market even the paid ones as they are linked to your google account.

Is there any known issue with chrome 2 phone and cyanogen?

Wow kind of glad I wasnt the only one with this issue. How to we tell Cyan?
Well, that.
Mine hasn't worked for quite a while now, and I always have my gapps updated. It just keeps crashing every time I try to send any linkto my phone.

Its wierd with this issue, sometimes it works(since loading cm6 rc1 it works...sorta) sometimes it doesnt or just takes a while to receive. Im not a tech genius by any means so i dont know for sure why it happens but the issue is present.
Are you guys in an area with bad reception? Mine works instantly.
doesn't work for me either.
on a separate note, I hate the chrome to phone browser extension because it doesn't remember login credentials
+1 It's really badly implemented. It's often more effective to send the link via email...

Works fine here on CM6.1

Force closes every time i try and send something. But i found if i get it to send the notification, rather than automatically launch, the notification stays and is still usable.
I found a fix/workaround. Try assigning a notification sound (you don't actually have to turn notification sounds on). Once I did that, the crashing stopped. It works even with auto launch enabled.
i just cleared Chrome to Phone data and re-connected with my account, and all is well

Market not working (server error)

I'm having issues with a phone, I master cleared and one click flashed to stock, and now I can't get onto market at all. After setting up the account, I hit the market icon, and all I get is a server error. No apps can be downloaded, nothing works. Any ideas? I've tried master clearing, flashing, reflashing, rereflashing, remaster clearing etc... and still nothing. Any ideas?
Have you tried clearing market data

JB Roms and VoIP apps

Hi y'all! Well, I have done some extensive searching to see if this issue is plaguing anyone else. First off, I am running Team Insomnia's AOIP 4.2 08/03/13 build and it is by far the best ROM I have tried on this phone! The only actual issue I have I cannot figure out if it is ROM related or a problem with Talkatone (or VoIP entirely) itself. There for a bit, Talkatone was updating every day and coincidentally it was around the same time I put this ROM on my phone. The issue is Talkatone will run fine in the background and stay connected, but as soon as I get a call, go to make a call, SMS, whatever, basically when the app has to be opened, it will just simply close out. No FC error dialog, just closes. Then it will start back up and repeat the cycle. Sooooo, I then tried to use Groove IP, but it simply will not sign in. There are a couple apps that will work, but they're not really the ones I want to use. I tried to use Hangouts but it won't receive calls. This is really annoying lol. I basically want to know if anyone else with any of the custom JB ROMs are having any VoIP problems?? Thank you for your time reading this and for any replies forthcoming! B)

I'm using magic jack and don't even need to download a separate app. Just might be a app problem
Thanks for the input bud! Good news as of about an hour ago, I found a version of Groove IP that is working beautifully so far! No versions of Talkatone are working, which is weird because it did work a few days ago and I hadn't changed anything. Oh well, as long as Groove works I will be OK B)

Groove is a good app. Again it just might be the app also in talkatone try clearing cache settings - apps- talkatone - clear cache
Yea I actually did clear cache for Talkatone. Tried reinstalling a few times and tried a few older versions. Oh well, honestly I like Groove's layout and integration better and it doesn't seem to use as much memory, which is crucial on this awesome little phone

i use fongo and never had any problems
Please forgive the really late reply to this thread, but since it is my thread I don't see the issue lol. Detdett, what is Fongo? Is it a VoIP app where I can get my own number? Or is it an app that works with GV? I'm looking into an alternate app that doesn't use GV now as by May, Google is changing their protocol where third party apps that allow VoIP calls thru data on GV will no longer work, ie Groove IP, Talkatone, etc. Its sad cuz I did have a good setup. Thanks again!

Build in VOIP App
I've found the best VOIP app to be the built-in SIP client in Android. From the dialer, click settings, Internet call settings / accounts. I found it to use less resources / battery and have better phone quality than sipphone or fring, etc.
I had no idea Android had a built in SIP client! Does it have to route thru a service that I would have to set up, such as pbxes.org, etc??

Google now crashes while on some wifi networks

Ive been having an issue for a couple weeks now where the google search app, launched from the drawer or by holding down the home button, closes a second or so after startup with the defulault "We're sorry google search has stopped" message. No amount of clearing the cache/data, rebooting or reinstalling the app makes it work, the only fix was clearing the data and it would work from first launch, once I close it it goes back to crashing. I noticed after a while that it would start working at what at firsr seemed like random times of day, but just recently i noticed it consistently starts working normally again after about 12 pm (cst), i havent been able to tell when it stops working again however. I'm on NG3, rooted, using Dynamic Kat 4.0 using the GPE theme, and I have xposed framework installed. I am open to any suggestions.
EDIT: Currently 2320 here and its still working fine till it started its "scheduled" starting working, so i believe it begins again durning the night or sometime during the morning. Also thinking it over i realized it may have something to do with the wifi im on till around when the issue stops. I will look further in to the circumstances and report back.
EDIT 2: Yep, it crashes consistently if im on the wifi at my school, which doesnt make too much sense considering it will work fine(for the first launch) if i clear data, and google.com loads finein firerox.
Edit 3: If i turn off wifi, open the app, and turn wifi back on then it also works fine, once again until i close the app, past that it doesnt work when on certain wifi networks(so far only seems like the one at my school), i'd also like to note it used to work fine, and the problem appears to have started after upgrading from DK 3.0 to DK 4.0, I may ask in the rom thread as well.
Edit 4: If im on the wifi with a vpn the app opens fine. I think a better title for this issue would be "Google app crashes when on certain wifi networks". I cant think of any way they would correlate, google isnt blocked and the app used to work, but somehow its making it crash.
I also thought I should note that the app im referring to is actually called "google now", its the one that opens with the homekey longpress (by default) and is named "google" in the app drawer.
