[Q] google now voice search broken - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just trying out google now, can't do voice search. Closes immediately every time with 'sorry I didn't catch that'.
Stock .253 build, no root. What could be the problem??
Note I have on idea whether it was broken on earlier builds or out of the box.

I believe he wants you to uninstall updates received for GMail.
Go To Applications in Settings-> Manage Applications->GMail. Beside Force Stop, you will find Uninstall updates, clicking on that should remove updates. I think this is the same screen where you clear the application cache.
You can also try clearing the data.
I have the same model the one I have is China model which does not have anything google installed the only way was to flash the firmware with another stock one to get google stuff.

It is for Xperia Ray, but the procedure is exactly the same on every Xperia phone, excluding the kernel is not nessesary, only if you want to keep your current one. Backup your data before you flash a rom, as I suggest you to wipe data.
In the general section you can find several stock roms. Use the one you prefer.

[Q] keep getting didn't catch that try speaking again

Hi all,
Keep getting this annoying error: didn't catch that try speaking again! tried 'hard-rest' my xperia z and clear google search cache still not working!
please help.
running on .434 UK ROM
I'm occasionally getting this error too. Seems to have popped up only recently for me. It fixes itself after a reboot, but follows me around from Rom to rom.

It's to do with google search latest version.
Uninstall the recent google search update and make sure it doesn't auto-update and then wait till it's fixed.

[Q] I've no Social Life

I'm have problems with the social life app. It used to work fine but when I updated to FW to a Euro generic when ever I try to start the app it asks me to pick my language/country and gives me the T&C's , I accept but then I am sent to the Play store to download Sony Account Manager which it says isn't compatible with my device.
Any ideas how to fix this ?
LOL can't stop laughing at your title.
Anyway, wipe the data settings / apps / social life / clear data. Do a reboot.
If that doesn't work uninstall social life, titanium backup may be needed to remove it.
Then go play store and download it again.

Thanks for the reply, I have tried this several times. Everytime I try to sign up I pick Sony Entertainment Network and it takes me to the Play Store to download Account Manager. I don't use/have a Facebook account. I am trying to think have I removed something from System/Apps that I shouldn't have done.

To my extent of knowledge, it may actually have something to do with that "Account Manager." I remember seeing that on my phone as well but I deleted also, since I do not use SEN.
your best way is to start fresh again if you dont know what you've deleted that may have caused this issue.
1-Back up all your internal files (whatsapp, data counter, messages, etc...) and sync whatever (calenders. task, notes etc...)
2-Repair it through Sony PCC or Sony Update Service, or Flash another FTF file and wipe everything.
3-Download all your apps again and restore them one by one.
Flash German .253 ftf. I had same problem, but the German firmware had this preloaded.

[Q] HTC Desire C Disable updates for whatsapp and system update

I have HTC Desire C and have installed whats-app in it. I have a limited prepaid internet plan. The problem is even after disabling the update option from Google play, it still keeps automatically updating itself each time a new Whats-app release comes.
Also I have disabled android updates from settings menu, but still, once in a month or so a small update gets downloaded automatically, without showing any notice.
I have also installed Android firewall to stop applications from updating itself on my prepaid plan and only update if wi-fi is on. Still the above problem remains.
I bought the phone a few months back and have only installed whatsapp and a few games from google play so no virus problem also.
I don't understand why this is happening. Please help.

Check if your play store is upto date...the latest version is 4.4.21...you can google and download the apk
Ok, I will check the google play version and try to install the latest one. After installing this latest version of Google Play I'll have to wait till the next update of whatsapp, only then will I come to know whether it has stopped updating itself automatically or am I still facing the same problem.
Till then I have to wait and will update you if I get the problem again.
Check Whatsapp See if that has a auto update feature
Sent from my GT-P3110 using xda app-developers app
No, any of the software's that we download doesn't have an auto update option disabling feature in them. I tried to search my phone if by any chance I could find out the auto update file of whatsapp and then delete it, but culdn't find any files.
I would like to know, if we want to see the installation files of any software on our android phone, by connecting it to the computer, how can we do it.

Did you clear data in app management.. It survives uninstall.
This issue has popped up recently. Try finding a pre-4.8 version of the google search app from an old gapps, then turning off updates in the play store. Not sure if it is all ROMs, but there is something going on when it tries to activate voice output. Definitely does it on Benzo. I tired using the latest Google TTS and it still does it.
Im not sure. But read on Aosip forum its related Viper.

4.8.12.19 works fine on slightly modded stock 5.1.1. It is either rom or rom flash.

So easy choice then. Unoticeable difference between velvet 4.7 and 4.8 vs very large difference between custom ROM and stock. [emoji56]

Been doing this a long time. Not a big difference if know how to hard code.
Thanks for the input. I did a full wipe and factory reset and reinstalled the stock Rom. Works perfectly
