Did 'OK Google now call...' get faster? - Moto X Q&A

Anybody else notice the 'OK Google now call <name>' got faster or is it just me?
I wonder if it had to do with the new Motorola modality update.

Been using it a lot lately and its pretty slow for me. It says, “Calling“ twice before actually dialing out. It takes about a minute+ to call out as opposed to me just opening the phone and doing it myself.

You have a big problem then. Really? A full minute plus?

Has it sideways taken that long?
Have you tried doing a factory reset or maybe clearing the cache for touchless control.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not. But to wait more than a minute to dial is actually a long time. #fwp

I only started using it a few days ago when I'm driving and it's always been slow. Yes, I've tried booting into recovery and wiping cache and what not. I just figured it was supposed to be slow.

No sarcasm at all. If it's taking that long then you do have a big problem.

Help!!! My phone was hacked!

OK so the weirdest thing happened just now. I was charging my atrix HD when I went on it to check a phone number. Then it started opening apps and going on xda then other apps. I had no control over it. I couldn't even turn it off. I had to do the power and volume down thing to shut off. It was very creepy. I was just looking for a minute while the person did what they did. It was like when a person from dell controls your computer if something isn't working right. At first I thought it was being laggy but no! It kept going settings were changed and the person tried playing music on it! I turned it off before he could but the wierdest part is that I had turned of my wifi and set my phone on airplane mode so it can charge faster. No communication what so ever. Right now its off and I plan to keep it that way until someone can tell me what to do to protect myself. Also this could have been happening before i went to go check my phone. Which was like 15 minutes before I checked it. Please help

Maybe you installed an app that had a RAT or some other virus in it

That's what I'm thinking. A bad app. The likely hood of it being hacked are slim.

android is very hard to hack probably a virus delete data in cwm
Best thing to do is just wipe.
Easy way to do it is to go to Settings->Privacy->Factory Reset
It was probably a bad app.
Click thanks if I helped!

Another thing to be aware of is I've noticed Motorola's screens (at least on the Atrix models) are kind of finnicky. If there's a little bit of moisture around they just start registering touches on their own sometimes.
With my battery life being... less than ideal.. I find myself plugging into all kinds of chargers along my travels. Some non moto chargers make my phone go nuts, exactly like what was described - apps opening etc. Have experienced this several times. Feel the other explanations are possible of course but highly unlikely.

There was a story on the news recently that someone's iPhone was hacked by trying to charge at a public charging station. I would be weary of these charging stations.

Airport WiFi connections are VERY insecure. Basically they monitor everything that goes through. Text messages, calls, anything. Maybe they also have access to control phones?

I agree with above post non oem chargers can make the phone act funny especially the cheap dollar store chargers get an oem cable the you will know that it will work for charging and data.

Question about active notifications

Can you add whatever app you want? Let's say I use handcent. Can I set the active notification to handcent instead of the stock app?
In other words, can you set any app to use the active notification or does each app developer have to support it?

As long as it makes notifications you can make it an active notifications and you can remove the stock app as you wish.

nope, it's all the time. It when you touch the lock and use it to unlock/view/ignore. It's the haptic feedback.

Yep and it's ridiculously annoying. I just went to the AT&T store to see if their display model is as loud as mine and it is, along with the 3 other phones they let me look at. That kinda sets my mind at ease knowing my phone isn't defective- I was seriously considering exchanging it based on the vibration alone. But now I'm keeping it, and I'm happy.

Oh okay, I don't mind that.
Mostly out of habit, I've been hitting the power button to get the regular unlock screen which doesn't vibrate with haptic disabled.

Notisync

I found this app though a bunch of searching. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mattprecious.notisync)
I think it is close to getting us to seeing notifications from any app on the gear. So, far with things set up the way I have them it only vibrates/rings when I get something. It could be that I don't have hangouts installed on my watch (didn't want the google apps...didn't see a need).
Could someone with the google apps (and possibly the status bar installed via Aroma) test this out and see if it gets us further?
Only other thread I could find: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560308 It mentions battery life issues. I'll test these out tomorrow.
Overnight the watch went down to 87% battery. I may try again tonight without it justvto see.
I can choose to get notifications on my gear from all of my phone apps without this.
Am I not understanding something with this thread?
I think I'm a bit lost here too. I can get notifications from any app on my phone without this app.

I wouldn't say badly. I'm able to spend an entire day at Disneyland (about 16 hours) getting/checking notifications using this and still have enough battery power for the 1 1/2 hour ride home. Sure you would get better battery life without it - but you would also get no notifications (non-touchwiz) without it too.

Very starnge. do you have multiwindow off when trying to use it?
Yeah, I've tried everything except switch back to stock launcher. I think that's where my problem lies. It doesn't play well with Google Now Launcher.
I'm using the stock launcher, tried with multi window on and off and still got nothing.

Just tried stock launcher and it does not work on my phone either. I noticed in running apps it continues to run even though its shut off. So I cleared app. Cashe and tried again. Still didn't work so I turned it of and stopped the app. Then turned it back on still don't work. Tried rebooting with on and still nothing.
Dont swipe to fast do it a bit slower it works everytime...,like you guys i had difficulties to get because i was swiping too fast...

Just got it, it wasn't the speed but **rather the **short pause I had before going back to the right. Once I made a more smooth stroke it worked.

Play Services keeps crashing...

I don't know why it's happening. I put the phone down for the night last night and everything was fine, upon picking it up today the error started popping every few minutes several times in a row, without seeming provocation.
I'm including the Stack trace. It seems to involve MediaDrm Provisioning and gms.
I'm rooted and s-off 4.3, 3.05.651.6.

Anyone have any idea at all how to make it stop? It pops the error up every few seconds for a good minute at a time. Shouldn't there be something I can do with my phone rooted to make it stop?

Yup. Even tried uninstalling the update and updating it again. No go. ; ;

Actually, I lied. I did the uninstall update/reinstall, but never did clear the cache. That seems to be working for the moment.
What do you think may have caused it, since it seems to have happened while I was asleep?

Not sure, maybe something got corrupted during the update. Anytime a app starts acting up that's the first thing I do. Glad it's resolved.
