Anyone having issues with the IGO navigation app?

I came to the HTC ONE international version from my Desire HD where my IGO navigation app worked perfectly.
However both of my navigation voices have now developed an annoying pause between voice instructions : in 50 yards .... Turn right etc etc.
Unexpected with the HTC One power, still think it's superb device.

Are you using TTS voice or standard voice in you iGO settings?

[Q] Xperia Z voice record issue

Hi, anyone with a Somy Xperia Z have an issue with the voice recorder?
I can't film videos with the camera cause it gets an error. I can't use TrackID or Shazam, it continually asked to listen again, I can't carry out speech to text on messaging or on google now app! Anything voice related for any app is not working. Help needed!
I've reinstalled the phone from scratch with PC companion and repaired it but its happened again. Could it be an app using the recorder/microphone and its stopping everything else?
Me too
I have experienced this kind of problem while trying to use Google now's voice search, it works the first time, but if I switch to another app and try again it gets an error.
Voice recorder stops working, too
I noticed that if I kill Google now app, the microphone starts working again

Having the exact same problem. I've turned off Google Now but I still cannot use recorder or microphone-based apps.
Very frustrating.
Can anyone help? Please?

I am having this exact same issue, I think the common denominator is Google Now ...which process do you kill? I tried stopping 'Google Search' but that didn't resolve it. Always requires a reboot.
Does anyone know if this is limited only to Xperia Z phones? I imagine it would be more widespread if not.
deinstall the last google search update
Hi.
It seems to be a problem of the last update from Google Search (Google now).
I just deinstalled the last update from Google Search apk and everything works like before.
I hope they fix it with the next update of Google Search.

feel bad

Some people are just idiots, if you can't or won't help there is no need say anything to show us your ignorance, just ZIPPED!!
Well, to the point
I almost went crazy with this problem, and happens in two differents phones, Ion and A.
suddenly inexplicably the mic for voice record and video record stop working right?
with lots of patience, root and eight complete backups I have found the guilty (at least for me),
Was not google, sony or the firmware.
Its a small and useful app called.....................MAGICJACK, as soon as its installed and their services started, the mic problem came out, my solution was disable, freeze or uninstall this app and the mic work again.
Maybe some of you guys have the same app or another for internet calls like this, try and let me know if helps
video call and record voice problem fix
Yep you right, just uninstall the magicjack app and you will be fine, but anyone can tell other similars like magicjack
Yeap!
4.2.2 firmware fix this issue, so when you update you can use these kind apps again
If you still running 4.1.2 and you can root your Xperia™ then dont uninstall the app just freeze it all the time except when you need it

You may need to move it to system apps
i installed the GE launcher and is not working FYI
Do you have your gear connected to bluetooth internet?
Nop, do I need it for the GE launcher?

out of curiosity, why would you even want to try it? it's in early stages, with barely any customization. can't even change icon easily. i'd recommend sticking to verified apps like nova. works without issues.
For the voice search
no it is not working... i mean... launcher is working fine, but voice search like OK GOOGLE is not working... tired everything... only working solution for voice search is google voice search https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch
.... but you wont get voice feedback an no auto listening like in g.louncher (OK google..btw realy awesome featur)... if someone has working solution please share....

[Q] HTC ONE M7 Phone loses volume once answering phone calls

I have a HTC One M7 with the Venom rom installed and it seems to be causing an issue with my phone calls. Whenever i try to answer a phone call i cannot hear anything on the other end. I can fix this by rebooting my phone but i would rather not do that for every phone call. Any suggestions on what i can do?

There were a lot of users experiencing this very problem recently. And the cause seemed to be something to do with the latest round of Google app updates.
Many successfully fixed this problem by clearing app caches for Google Play Services and Google Services Framework.
Go to Settings> Apps then move to the All tab. Find Google Play Services and Google Services Framework and clear cache and data for these two apps then reboot. :fingers-crossed:

Awesome I will give this a shot and see if it works. Thanks for the tip.

Can someone check their voice commands in Google maps?

I have an odd issue with voice commands with Google maps and I can even reproduce it after a factory reset.
First off you need to be using the new Google Assistant.
1) start navigation to any destination
2) while in Google maps full screen use the voice command via hotword or mic button to change to a different destination
3) it'll confirm that it changed the route but won't actually do it.
It'll work if maps is minimized or you're in a different app while navigation is running in the background.
I can fix it if I install Google app version that appears not too have the new Google Assistant but then I lose things like continued conversation and the new GA animation.
Has anyone experienced this or can anyone test it? A factory reset did not fix the issue.

Confirming the issue here as well. Quick work around is to just tap X on the current navigation then voice command the next location.
