I am on the AT&T Variant of the Moto X and was wondering if anyone was having issue with Touchless Controls not working. It has been working fine since day one and I noticed today that it wouldn't work. I rooted using the Moto Root and then PwnMyMoto. When I boot, the option to use them is turned off and when I enable it I get no response from saying the keyword. If I try to retrain it, It will not respond to the "Okay Google Now" Attempts. I've verified that the mic is working fine and I've tried several different noise levels.
If anyone has a solution or suggestion, let me know to possible help people who have this issue

I'm having the exact same issues on my Verizon Moto X. I'm hoping you found a fix for yours or that someone can chime in
Tried a factory reset?
Hello,
wife's Moto X is connected to older VW bluetooth which only let's you dial through the phone or pick up incoming calls. That was the reason I got her the Moto x, so the drive assist would announce calls and she could place calls hands free. However, when a call comes in, it just rings, no announcement. When the call is not picked up, the phone then says "missed call from xxx". So drive is working somehow but not all the way. And when the "missed call from xxx" announcement is being spoken (and the screen goes black with the red microphone circle), the phone doesnt react to any voice input.
I upgrade and downgraded the assist app, didnt make any changes. I'm using the "having issues with bluetooth - other audio" option.
Any idea? Thanks a lot!
Have you been into the settings of assist and checked the boxes of the actions you want when you are driving? Also, is your GPS in high accuracy?

yes and yes. Drive assist shows up as symbol in the notification bar. And it runs because missed calls are being announced, just not incoming one's. Wife has replace the stock dialer, not sure if that makes a difference, because when I disabled it it was doing the same.
Try this: How to reset Motorola Assist
Thanks. I forgot to mention that I tried to clear cache etc. But reading through the comments from the link above, there are a lot of people having the same issue. I think I'll wait and see if the coming L update will fix things. Sounds like 4.4.4 update broke it for some. And I don't have much time fussing with the phone and car at the same time since it's not mine. But as of now, Assist seems useless and I could just use Google Now for the same functionality.
No way to add or remove Quick Settings tiles.... Voice Mail notifications force you to Visual Voice Mail ($$) with no way to change it to *86 and three steps to clear the damn notification.
And don't even get me started about the trip back to the 90's with voice OR data.
Customer service rep says, "This phone doesn't do VoLTE"
Me, "Umm, *ever*? Or just until it's setup?"
Long pause, "...I don't know"
So ridiculous. I was really excited about getting this phone, but without root to at least put back all (any) of the standard Android features that even most VZW phones have, I'm going to end up returning this thing and going back to my S4.
What a waste. This had such potential but it's been ruined once again by VZW and their sick need to drain every penny out of their customers.
If I've missed something obvious about anything above, feel free to correct me. I have no trouble eating my words if I can get some of these really annoying things corrected.

Press and hold 1 to access your voicemail if you don't wanna use VVM. And yes no voice+data does suck..but it is what it is...and yes..most of the VZW reps at Cust service are morons Lol I work for the Verizon Indirect Side so I know very well lol anything else??

Give "YouMail" a shot for your voicemail. I love it. No more dialing to hear messages...
And yes. Verizon is very annoying. Gotta pay for hotspot if you have unlimited data. Even then they only let you use 2gb over the hotspot a month. Love the phone...just praying for root or unlocked bootloader to put the icing on the cake

Google voice for visual voicemail. Volte fix is incoming. Android doesn't natively have editable quick settings tiles as i know of.

I think this is a little over dramatic. I hardly think that these issues ruin the phone.
I know it should work out of the box, but the beauty of android is that there is more than one option. If you dont like the default voicmail use somthing like Google voice. You talk about a trip back to the 90s. I would say using default VZW voicemail falls in this category.
The data and phone issue is dumb, but it is confirmed they will be fixing it. They will also be enabling VoLTE at the same time. Im pretty sure it will be one of the first devices with VoLTE support.
Customizable tiles is not a stock android feature. Only custom ROMs have this at the moment. Other maufacturers might have added this, im not sure if TouchWiz allows it. As far as im concerned I would rather be missing this feature than dealing with God awful TouchWiz.
Visual Voice Mail opt out
One of the first things I did while setting up my phone was to go into Apps and disable all Verizon apps. When I dialed *86 to set up my voice mailbox I went through the set up procedure and then hung up. After I hung up I received the notification for Visual Voice Mail. I tapped the notification, but when it asked me to Continue on the set up screen I hit the Home button. Then I pulled down the notification bar, it read "tap here to continue Visual Voice Mail setup". Instead I hit the X that clears all my notifications. Now my voice mailbox is set up and I didn't have to sign up for Visual Voice Mail. When I get a voicemail in my notifications it goes to *86. Hope this helps. Also, as far as Talk and Surf and VoLTE, all reviews I've read plus the Day 1 update we received, have indicated we will have that capability by the end of the year. I can wait a month for that.
I found out last night from Verizon that they won't sell this phone in Alaska until the update for VoLTE happens (something to do with roaming charges otherwise. Didn't make any sense to me but I didn't want to sit and argue with them when it wouldn't change the fact they didn't have any Turbos). Which as others have said is in the next month or two. As for visual voicemail, I use PF Voicemail on my Nexus 5 and while the UI is dated, it works well (on AT&T/Straight Talk). As for editing quick settings, that will be a stock feature of Lollipop, so again, hopefully in a two to three months the Turbo will have that feature too.
Sounds like most of your issues are/will be fixable. It just depends on if you're willing to wait. By the time I can buy this phone in Alaska hopefully these issues plus root will be achieved. Or else maybe an AT&T variant will be announced by then.

That's an immense help! Thanks so much! BTW, love the nym; one of my favorite cartoons from when I was a kid...☺
Recently I've noticed that my Moto Voice isn't working like it should.
For example, it'll only allow me to ask it one question, then any following questions and it'll ignore them with a sound as if it has rejected my voice.
I've already reset my phone to factory settings before anyone asks but it's not made a difference.
Even if I ask if what the weathers like, it'll say half of the first word then go silent but still display the right info on the screen.
Anyone else getting this?
I'm not rooted and am running on Marshmallow if it helps.
I've tried retraining my voice and cleared the cache of the Moto app but no luck.

How did you get Moto Voice to work, I can't get it to work with Moto App
Hi there!
I used to have a dual-sim Moto G4 Plus, which was pretty comfortable for dealing with home/office numbers/lines/accounts.
My Moto X4 comes in a single-SIM variant, and although the easiest way to bring dual-sim would be to simply replace it with something else, I just like it too much to get rid of it.
So! I set call forwarding from one number to the one on my X4, whoch works alright. However, now there's no way to know when someone's calling me from my work number, and when it's from my personal one. I remember some phones used to tell you for a couple secs, and some apps managed to "catch" that notification and make a persistent one of their own. However, the X4 doesn't even have the brief notification. I tried using this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=joe.forward
It has a "Mode 2" option that's supposed to work even when no brief toast notification is displayed, but it didn't work either. Anyone know of some other way to detect a forwarded call? Bonus: If I could set it to avoid forwarded calls on a schedule, that´d be perfect. But right now, I'd just settle with the notification (tasker sounds like an option for this last part, though).
Any ideas or clues will help, by the way! thanks!
