Google maps(navigation)

Anytime I run my navigation on my nexus the voice will work for one or two directions. And it will go to this demonic like voice ( I call him Carl), which just repeats some web address and that on the female voice will not come back after that. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Google many times. I've had this problem since stock 2.2.1 and I've flashed many roms since then. Nothing seems to change it better/worst, sorry if this is a repost.

Have you tried deleting the voice cache? It's located at:
/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/cache

yeah I had done that before in the past, and It would work for like a trip or too and just go back to the voice. I'm thinking about just formatting my sd card and see what happens?

I can confirm this as well. It happens with the Espeak TTS. It's a shame because I like Espeak so much more than Pico.

Have you tried changing to "Pico TTS" under "Text-to-speech settings"? (I'm assuming you have eSpeak TTS on currently, based on what rickytenzer said)

sounds like you got a demon inside your nexus one....since you already named him Carl, he will love you till death.

Actually since I formated my SD, it just go worst. I get Force Close every time it goes to tell me the second direction. The other voice is gone however, it's just back the normal lady. But I've seem to have created a whole new problem in the process. I've wipe in the cache in clockwork, but still no changes.

Now I have this whole force close problem????? You know where I could get a Copy of gmaps files that should be on my sd? I've done a sys app removal and reinstalled but it would changed anything.

Its the stock app. After the update, my calculator started saying the numbers I press. It's very annoying.

The 65MB update? I've done this and my calc doesn't talk. I would check the Language and Input options, and the accessibility options.

I've checked, talkback is off. Nothing either in the language and Input. I can't figure it out.

Problem with that is you can't use it in pop up. Which I need for work. Main reason I buy devices with multi task/window. Hopefully someone will figure it out.

My calculator is not talking to me.
Something wrong with mine
[emoji3] [emoji2] [emoji1]

I've been able to somewhat narrow it down on my phone. I have accessibility turned on for both Pebble & Lastpass. If I turn both of those off my calculator will stop talking. Turn them back on & it's back at it

Root your device and use wanam xposed to include any and all apps in multi window.

Ya I usually root my devices but I usually wait a couple weeks before doing so. But with no lag finally on a Samsung device in not sure if I will. Even though I probably will[emoji2]

Turned lastpass off and stopped talking. #confirmed

Turned off accessibility to augmented pro and calc stopped talking.

Don't have people or last pass and its still talking. Also other people reporting this issue are having problems with the s voice voice feedback greyed out in s voice settings. Turned out it was greenify for me. Uninstalled and calculator stopped talking and svoice started to. Hope this helps someone.

I had the same problem and have fixed it. I just went into applications
manager and force stopped Samsung text-to-speech engine. The calculator is no longer talking back to me. :good:

Yeah I have that problem too. I have tried everything mentioned here and it still keeps talking. It is not usable this way.
Update. Found out the problem. I am using the LG Bluetooth headphones and the BT reader app. I had to go in to accessibility and under services turn off the BT reader.

You tried to update the Google app? I also spent that and that was the solution.

Same problem here
I am also facing the same problem.
I tried everything and it isn't working.
Updating app doesn't solve the problem.
It is only working when I downgrade Google app to factory version. If then again I update the app it's not working

I do have the same problem but not always. Sometimes it recognize my voice sometimes won't. I retained my voice for several time but no use.

Mine is also working but the chances are 1% only

Both installing from backup or APK lead to an error when opening LzPlay. It just shows a single blue button and closes when you press it. I think the error is about the device not being supported, but the translation is really bad.

Firlando,
I have a successful GMS installation. Of course push notification doesn't work well. If I follow your approach of disabling GSF (not reinstalling), will that fix the push problem? If I re-enable GSF late on, will it bring errors back to GMS? Thanks!

The second "yes" means that if re-enabling GSF, then GMS will pop errors, which I currently don't have before "disabling GSF", right? Thanks for helping!

Hello community, I have manage around 2 weeks ago to get working the Google services on my p40Pro. What I would like is to have the push notifications working even if the playstore doesn't work. Is there any options out there on this?
I saw new guides out there but they seem to start where the device doesn't have the GMS on it.
Would please anyone guide me on this journey? I am a bit confused and dont want to mess up what I have at the moment on my phone.
Thank you .

i have no problem with my gps. but i cant guarantee this will work on you. You have to finished gms installation with working playstore and gps (i use another method for this). Open and use/play all apps which are gps dependent. Maps, online transportation etc. After a couples hours then i disabled my gsf. My gps still work fine until now. it's been 6 days now

Double check something if Google play services have location permission granted

Hey, everything was working out for me, I had to enable GFS for maps that I need it. Now I went back home and start receiving notifications of error that my phone is not certified and it could not log in to all my Gmail accounts...
What can I do now? What would be the best way to fix this.?
Thank you in advise

Question Keyboard and voice typing issues on Android 12

I upgraded the S21 ultra to Samsung 12.
When I did it wouldn't let me use siwftkey keyboard, voice typing, and I lost the google voice features.
I played with every in language input I could find. Nothing worked.
I went to apps and I uninstalled Google back to factory settings. Then everything worked fine. I even turned off Google updates in play store so I can use voice typing and bluetooth voice dial.
Overnight for whatever reason it all stopped working again. I updated Google, it didn't work, and then uninstalled it again and it worked.
There has to be some trick I am not figuring out because it should work without having to uninstall Google. Any advice would be appreciated.

use other keyboards for now

It did the same for the Samsung keyboard.
I don't think it is a keyboard issue. I think it is something with Google. I'm far from an expert but that's what it seems. I just don't know the work around.

Am I lucky to not have received the update yet? Anyway, I would troubleshoot this by doing a backup first. Then trying to use Safe mode.
Maybe even go back into recovery and clear the cache.
The end game would be a factory reset.
That's if you're impatient like me.

I restarted the phone and everything is now normal

go to settings > apps > enable show system apps > search for "speech services by google" > turn it on if it's disabled

I am having the exact issue after the update to Android 12. Microphone works on calls but "hey Google" does not respond, voice recorder doesnt hear my voice, keyboard voice input doesnt work. Did a factory reset still no luck. Checked "speech services by google" and it is enabled.....What to do? If I could get into the secret menu and check my microphones (I understand there are 3 of them) I would but no secret codes seem to work. Help!

I won't "take advantage" of the update yet, every other post reflects users having issues with Android 12 One UI 4.0. No excuse for releasing this version with so many glitches.

Try using the diagnostic test. It's under. Battery and device care. It tests all sensors and stuff.

thank you so much!! I never saw that area! It confirmed that mic1 is not working.
