Hi everyone,
Have any of you had any problems with voice input in Google Now after the latest update to Google Search? I can see from the reviews on the Play Store that I'm not the only XZ owner with the issue, but I don't see anyone talking about it on here.
Rolling back to the version before makes it work again, I just can't see why it stops working in the update .
Nope that was the first thing I tried.

I have the same problem. Temporary fix is to turn off/close the app fully then relaunch it.

I haven't found any fix that works, temporary or otherwise just stick with the old version.

Same issue for me I think. Voice typing and voice search only work with older version.

maybe someone can help. I have XDA app ( free and premium applies to this) and I am able to read posts as long as I am a guest. when I sign in it seems OK as I can browse the threads. but when I try open a post the app force closes on me.
I have read some people have no issues with this app and some do. I have a wifi only xoom. I'm wondering if the issue is limited to this model and works fine on 3g model?
if anyone has any input please let me know here. thanks

I never had a problem with it on my 3g version but once I switched to wifi I got the same issues as you. Xda, slacker, pandora and many other apps just won't work on my wifi xoom....very frustrating as I use all'of those apps often....in the end its not just you
Same with me. It also does not remember my sign in and I have to sign in every time. wifi xoom
Has anyone contacted the developers of Tapatalk?

The more people that contact them, the better chance it will get fixed.
This problem does not occur on tapatalk, only when using xda app (for me and a lot of others). Tapatalk works fine excet for this weird blur on long OPs.

Isn't the XDA app based on Tapatalk?

Yes. Once you get into the xda forum from tapatalk app its almost identical.
I don't do software, my brain isn't wired that way, but I will look at the two and see what I can find. Sometimes I get lucky. Will update OP if I find anything.

Is anyone having issues when searching through Google now? When I input my question it fails to bring up websites but does bring up cards if that information is available. Otherwise, the circle just keeps spinning and not website suggestions come up. This only started happening today, it seem after I updated chrome. So I uninstalled the update but the issue still exists. Wonder if its a problem with Google? When I search in chrome though it works fine.

Yeah I'm having the same problems with Google voice search/Google now
Yes, same here. It must have been a google-side issue with now specifically.

Discussed here - looks like they are on it.
I'm having issues as well. I for some reason cannot add sports teams to my Google now cards. Hope this gets resolved soon as this is the #1 use for Google now for me
Okay good, its not just me..

Anyone managed to get the apk for BBC news as showing incompatible with the one ?
Weird as it works on other 4.1.2 handsets
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
This might be something to do with the screen resolution that the handset? I remember seeing some thread on Modaco that mentioned that some apps in the play store couldnt be used because of that reason. Will try to did up a link.
I'm sure that it will be sorted out soon anyway.
Cheers
Here is the latest apk. It will install and update itself - https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16051659/bbc.mobile.news.uk-2.apk

HTC are aware of the issue with this app and several others and are looking at a fix.
Works ok for me
Works ok for me too, although initially couldn't find it on Play Store. It turned up on the Top Free tab and installed fine

Is anyone else getting a terribly robotic voice from the Maps turn by turn gps? Normally it's the nice smooth voice from Google Now, but since I've been using it on my Note 3 it sounds terrible. Any ideas?

Is this Google Maps navigation, or some other maps app?
The Note 2's settings let you choose between text-to-speech by Google or by Samsung. Does the Note 3 have those options too? Which option are you using?

That's exactly what it was. There is only an option for Samsung and to get the high quality voice you have to download it. I didn't even think of that. Thanks!

Wouldn't it be easier to explain then? I saw that mention of downloading one I would love to know what that is. I searched googleplay and didn't seem to find what I was looking for.
As Gary02468 mentioned, you have to go to the TTS settings in Language and Input. Then click on the settings on the Samsung TTS Engine and then download voice data. I guess in my mind what needed to be done was obvious.

It's not clear actually the Samsung text to speech is not good we want to be able to use Google
The hd Samsung vs non hd both sound horrible

Maybe it is an issue with my phone I go in the to the Samsung text-to-speech engine, go to install data, choose English High Quality, hit play sound exactly like what I want, hit download and nothing happens. It never changes to the high quality voice.

Do you have a Samsung account set up? It downloads the data through the Samsung app store.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I got it to work. I had to go in and reset my app defaults and now it downloaded correctly. Thanks for the directions!
I don't think this is actually solved, at least not what op was asking for. OP was wanting the original Google TTS that is excluded from the phone's firmware for some reason. The fix that you see above was addressing someone else's issue not being able to download the high quality version of samsung's tts engine.
Yea I hope theres a way to add google's tts in the near future as well.

I am the OP and what I really wanted was to get rid of the terrible, robotic sounding voice. The Samsung HD voice works great for me so I changed the title to "SOLVED". If you guys want to make another thread on how to download the Google TTS that's cool, but as far as my issue is concerned, it's fixed.

As a side note, I was just using my GPS and for just one phrase the Google voice was used and then it switched back to the Samsung HD voice. Strange lol.

This seems not to be a bug of sony, LG users have this problem too. It is caused by the latest version of chrome browser, although I don't know why…
So, Uninstall update of chrome fixes the bug.
If you want to use newer version of chrome, it is confirmed that chrome beta do not cause the bug.

That's interesting, could you provide link to appropriate topic/site?
It doesn't work me. It's a fake in my opinion, i'll try install beta version of chrome and then i'll see - maybe it can help, but i dont think so...

That's most stupid thing I've read on XDA!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Though it works for me, as well as many other users, there are many comments about that on play store. Then try disable it.

This definitely works, uninstalling chrome updates or disabling it stops the calls starting in the speaker.
Read your own post back then buddy cos that's looking pretty stupid to me. Not as stupid as some of these bugs on 4.3 though
Moving on, 100% confirmed. I never even knew about this bug using peetr's hybrid ROM which has chrome replaced with AOSP browser. Soon as I installed chrome the first call I made came blaring out on speaker. Wtf sooner I can upgrade this nightmare of a phone the better.
