Voice Search Broken, says "Can't reach google at the moment." - Moto X Q&A

Hi All,
Running stock but rooted (with Xposed modules) 4.4.4 on Verizon Moto X with an unlocked bootloader. (Flashed this stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2829123 )
Any time I try to do any activity with voice I get the error, "Can't reach google at the moment."
I get this error if I click the mic in google now and by clicking the voice text mic on the keyboard. Also, Touchless Controls doesn't respond.
After searching around forums I've tried some suggestions that worked with similar problems on other phones, but to no avail. I've tried:
- clearing data and cache of google search app and force stopping (lost my google now launcher set up in the process)
- removing my google account from the phone, rebooting to recovery, clearing cache and dalvik, rebooting and adding my account back
Thanks for any suggestions.

hi, had the same issue with one of the modules in xposed, ended up wipping the device and started fresh, installed xposed and gravity box, no other modules, all is good now.

Hmm, interesting...
I'm thinking it's not a specific Xposed module... I just tried uninstalling xposed framework altogether and then wiping cache and dalvik for good measure. No luck.
But out of curiousity, these are the modules I have installed: GravityBox, Exchange Bypass For Xposed, SingalIconsAOSP, Unicon. Besides GravityBox, did you have any of these installed when you had the issue?
I hope this doesn't come down to just wiping, which it most likely will.

My droid maxx has had the same problem since the update to 4,4,4 I have tried everything including a fdr ( through twrp ). Nothing has worked ! Moto has offered me a new phone but I don't want a new one as mine is unlocked and rooted ( otherwise stock ). I think I'm going to unroot it, put back in the stock recovery and try a fdr through that...POS !!!

This may not help at all....but maybe worth a shot. If you try and it doesn't help, post back here and let everyone know so nobody else tries it.
You might have some luck by erasing baseband cache with fastboot:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
You might have to re-activate afterwards. It is the only suggestion that might be relevant that you haven't tried already...
Good Luck....that would be a frustrating issue... :good:

Unfortunately I gave up and just wiped and did another clean flash and its working again. It was very frustrating not having touch less controls or voice to text...
Thanks for the help though anyway.

I agree touch less control wasn't something I cared about when I got the phone. But after getting used to it its hard to go without.
When you say you wiped and flashed. Can you elaborate. I tried fxzing ( saving data ), 2 FDR's everything .. Did you unroot then use HOM ? I will try anything at this point . Thanks in advance

My bootloader is unlocked so I was able to simply factory reset and reflash the stock 4.4.4 ROM from the thread I linked to in the OP...

I will try both methods and post back. Thanks for you help !

So I took both suggestions tried them 1st. I tried erasing the the baseband cache's via fastboot. No luck. 2nd I reflashed the current 4.4.4 stock rom via HOM, Full FXZ ( no data saved). !st off what a pain in the ass it is to reset up these phones from scratch. I setup my Google account but I didn't let Google reinstall all my previous apps and there data. I then went into settings and arranged things how I like them. Cleared off my home screens, put a few of the apps where I wanted them. I then went into the play store and allowed all apps ( preloaded ) to update. I then went back into settings and went to touchless control. To my surprise it worked ! I then went about loading all my apps.The usual 1's everyone has ie: Elixir2, FX filemanager,Poweramp, MX Player,Chromecast Panasonic tv remote 2, Google Wallet, UE Miniboom and Few other nondescript. Then I checked touchless control again and It was still working. Then I decided to install twrp and its recovery via fastboot ( 2.6.31 ) let it root the phone for me. Here's where it gets dicey.. It was late and I had had it with this friggin phone. I went and loaded all my apps that required root,Superuser pro, Dsploit, Busybox pro,Android terminal emulator, Wakelock(full) all the usual's. Then I went through and disabled all of the bloat. Rebooted and switched the phone to ART The following morning I went to show a friend how I had fixed my phone and It no longer worked ?
So I FXZ'd again not saving any data. Reinstalled twrp , rooted . Then 1 by 1 I reloaded every single app back into the phone and checked google now between every single install. Also this time I didn't let any of the bloatware update. I planned on disabling it anyways so why bother. I didn't install any apps that require root except twrp, busybox, Dsploit and #mirrorenabler . Also it's currently back on Dalvic. So as my phone sits now touchless control and all of its functions are working again. It's obviously a rouge app or ART Runtime that did this and I will narrow it down in the next few days and report back.

Force Close of com.google.process.gapps

Need some help with an error. I've seen a couple of posts about this, but no one was giving their situation/phone info to make any help effective. So, here goes.
I got a new SD card (bigger, and class 6). I used Backup (root) from the Market to save everything, partitioned my SD card, upgraded the partition to ext3, wiped my phone, re-installed Cyanogen's 4.2.13 (I use apps2SD) and the Community Hero Mix Theme (Reg Launcher and Stericsson's Lock Screen). Also reset the Radio Image, and have 2.22.19.261. Restored everything with the Backup app, then re-booted.
All apps are installed (successfully tested about 20). After Auto-Sync, I turned off syncing and ran fix_permissions, then re-booted. Gmail app's cache was cleared on a whim.
Now, whenever I go to download a Market update, I get the com.google.process.gapps Force Close. Unable to update any apps, although the whole list is there. Nandroid restore fixes everything, but I noticed my phone running MUCH faster after the wipe, so I'd like to get this figured out. Have tried the above process 3 times, but no success. And, like they say, Insanity is trying the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.
you should start fresh anyway and next time please here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=507
After wipe prob should be gone.
Next time, please post your questions in the Questions and Answers forum.
Moved.
After wipe prob should be gone.
Um, unfortunately that's a no. The wipe seems to be causing the problem. As I said, I've re-done this whole process 3 times. Every time I come back from the wipe, I have the force close. Only nandroid gets rid of the problem. And nandroid returns the lagginess issues.
Could try another rom like dwang or superD1.2 and see if you get the same errors.. I was getting gapps forceclose and tried many times finally I tried another rom "superd" and been happy since then! Stable and greeat speed
You just need to uninstall market updates in settings --> manage applications.
By the way, I would suggest not using backup for root users, usually the work required to come back from that is the same as from a fresh wipe.

I'm very familiar with manage applications uninstalls, however, the Market Updater app does not give un-install as an option. I can Clear Data, Clear Cache, Clear defaults (these three are grayed out), or I can Force Stop, which doesn't seem to do anything. Any other ideas?
New Symptom
As a result (I'm sure) of changing SD cards when the old one had all of my apps on it, I have about 10 apps that were protected that did not transfer by the Backup process. My phone thinks I have them, the Market thinks I have them, but I can neither uninstall them (option grayed out in the Market and they are non-existant in the Manage Applications menu), nor can I update them (as the Market seems to think I already have them). The shortcuts are of course broken, and the "Open" button in the Market is also grayed out.
Any ideas?
PS-I've tried clearing the Market cache, but didn't help.

Never mind, I popped my old SD in and used Titanium Installer to take care of my apps problem.
Still looking for help on the force close. Even does it straight after a factory wipe with vanilla 1.6!
I'm betting the Market Updater is the culprit, but can't seem to find a way to get rid of it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi All!
I'm new to this forum, but I registered because I had exactly the same problem. I've updated to the latest CyanogenMod 4.2.13. Since then I had the same crash ever since, i whipped about 4 times and downgraden step by step to 4.2.12 and 4.2.11 which all worked perfectly before. But now i had the same problem.
So i went back a few steps and reinstalled the HTC image which was needed to use the google apps again. When I installed this one. Then i booted it, hey everything works! Nice, reinstall Cyanogen 4.2.13 and just whiped it again (who cares ) and tadaaa, everything works.
Hope it works for you as well!
Good luck!
i was having the same issue when i was trying to install Cyanogens 4.2.13 coming from a different rom also. i found the solution here... hxxp://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Operating-System-Software/the-process-com-process-gapps-has-stopped-unexpectedly-on-CM-s-4/td-p/288743
(don't know if i can post direct links to other sites so i just replaced the t's with x's at the beginning of the URL)
basically what you gotta do is flash cm-4.2.9.1 1st and after you sign in let it sync, then reboot and flash cm-4.2.13 over with no wipe and everything should be fine. let me know if this helps. it worked for me
Now, whenever I go to download a Market update, I get the com.google.process.gapps Force Close. Unable to update any apps, although the whole list is there. Nandroid restore fixes everything, but I noticed my phone running MUCH faster after the wipe, so I'd like to get this figured out. Have tried the above process 3 times, but no success.

Had the same problems.. started last night when I tried to use my VPN on the phone to sign in to Market.. once signed in.. google accounts asked me to sign in again..(verify account) big mistake.. as it seems that it has registered me twice on the phone somehow..
anyway.. the FC on sync came thick and fast.. was out last night.. so couldn't actually take the time to check what was going on..
today did some research..
for me.. after trying a few processes.. I have gone the route of using Titanium backup and freezing the Gmail applications.. I never used it anyway.. as used the stock HTC email program..
happy to report that the FC on sync's have now stopped..
Edits: nope bloody thing.. got a few this morning on bootup.. and it seems market is dead for me..
I have reformatted the card and wiped all cache's.. but still got problems..
hesitant to do a hard reset at the moment as using the phone in China.. So dont actually know what it will wipe out if I reset it?
Can someone chime in here for me..
so the question is.. if i do a hard reset.. will I lose the actually settings that make it hook in to the phone network?
and I suppose from this we get.. how do I pull all of these settings out of the phone to reuse them again after the reset?
Thats a HTC EVO with stock rom
few specs on the software..
Firmware : 2.1 update 1

Thanks in advance..
Edit: after searching the net for the last few days for a fix.. its seems to be a Android bug.. no amount of wipes and resets put me back on track..
So in the end I went for a fresh Rom... Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - [RLS 5 - 01/07/2011] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471

[Help req] Galaxy S unresponsive !

Hello Guys.
I actually have a problem. I flashed my phone with the firmware which has the bootloader on it. Gingerbread 2.3.3. JVJPG
It worked perfectly for about 2-3 weeks. Then i did something foolish. i forcestopped the 'maps' process . Thought it might free up some RAM.
now after that i continuously been getting the 'maps has been unresponsive and would forced stop' message on the phone. So to get rid of it I flashed the phone against thinking it would reinstall . But no. I kept getting that message after flashing aswell together with OTHER APPS also started giving the message.
i have cleared the cachet and factory reset the phone BUT STILL those APPS remain on the phone. they dont work just continuously gives the force stopped messages. The camera works but doesn't save the pics. Any app i want to d/L . it doesnt install says something about ' package is unresponsive'.
Thankfully the downland mode works. I flashed it yet again with FROYO but now it seem like the whole system has crashed !!
The wierd thing is that APPS dont seem to get uninstalled and no date is lost even after factory reset.
Can anyone help me with this ?
Also even if i uninstall the apps. after restarting the phone. they just remain on the phone !
but don't work
Got the firmware for this thead:

Flash back to stock firmware, install a kernel with CWM recovery, download your chosen rom, before installing, reboot into recovery, before installing, got to mounts and storage, format system, data, cache and datadata, then wipe dalvik, then install custom rom all should be fine after that let me know bud

[Q] Issue with Root Duration

Hey guys, I didn't see anyone ask this question explicitly but if it has been stickied somewhere and I just overlooked it I apologize.
Basically I've flashed several different root images using Mofo root and they work for the most part minus one small aspect. After some duration of time (I'm not sure exactly how long but maybe from an hour to a few hours), root apps will basically stop functioning. If I go into supersu, I just get a loading circle that never gets anywhere. I've tried force closing it and disabling/reenabling superuser but that hasn't worked. Some apps continue to function (Gravitybox custom tiles, WiFi Tether, Seeder) but others do not start up properly (TiBackup for example gets stuck at the loading screen where it says asking for root privileges and tasker secure setting profiles return an error). Only a hard reboot will properly restore root but then the same issue occurs where after a while I have to continue to hard reboot once root stops functioning.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Sorry I don't have a solution but I just wanted to bump this thread because I'm having the same issues as you. Wakelock detector also gets stuck on loading screen and supersu fails to open.

I also had the same issue. I am using the image with busy box and Xposed framework installed. After a an hour or so super user said that the binary was not installed, and most of my root apps stopped working. Root checker said my Turbo was not rooted, though gravity box and a few other Xposed modules continued to work. I rebooted the phone, but had the same problem. I turned notifications for the supersu app back on, and after about a minute it said the binary had to be updated, and I had root again. I'm not sure what is going on, but I will come back if I find anything
I'm not having any issues. I would reboot the phone into recovery and wipe the cache there. Hope that helps.
Glad I saw this thread...I'm having the exact same issue!
A hard reboot will solve the problem every time...but its quite annoying...
I'm going to try a factory reset and see if that helps
Clearing the cache seems to have solved this for me. I haven't lost root in a few days.
Seems to have resolved itself
I just wanted to mention that between clearing the cache and flashing a different rooted image this issue appears to have resolved itself.
I will update after some time to see if this fix maintains or if anything else pops up. Thanks for the suggestions!

Google Wallet stuck on newest ROM - Suggestions?

Hello XDA geniuses; If anyone can figure out and provide me some suggestions, its here!
So, I've been running Benzo ROM for the last few months, its perfect for me. I've tried others but have settled on it. In the last update, it required a clean flash, which I did. TWRP -> Advanced Wipe -> System, Data, Dalvik and Cache. Never had an issue before, but in this build I can't use Google Wallet or Tap and Pay.
When I go to start either of those 2 apps, they just sit at the initial screens. Thats all, they just sit there.
I've made sure I'm signed into my account, no ad blocking or security issues I can see. I've wiped and re-flashed 4 times. Made sure I have the right ROM and gapps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Wallet a bunch of times.
The dev did say in this build he; "AOSP Webview to Google's Webview", hence the clean flash.
Nothing I've tried yet has made any difference. I did a logcat, but did not see anything notable.
And, yes of course I posted this in the ROM forum, unfortunately I've not received much response and figured I would ask in the Help section.
Thanks in advance and if you have any suggestions at all, please let me know. I use Wallet daily and I hate to move off this rom, but I have been trying others and I do rely on Wallet at this point.

Hey Evolution_Tech, super appreciate the feedback! Yes, I tried it again, just to make double sure. I force stopped Wallet, even went into Show Cached Process and killed it. Same thing for both T&P and Wallet; I bring up the app, it goes to the 1st screen and boom just sits. In T&P I cant even press the Display link. So freaking odd.
Again, Thanks!!

Hello; Here is what worked for me, but I have to preface it with make sure you do a good backup. When the Rom I use asked for a full refresh including wiping data, is when I had the issue. I eventually tried it with not wiping data and that's what worked. I think wallet keeps some persistent data there and when you wipe it out, it gets stuck. Good luck.
I will try and make this my last update; I finally got wallet to work with a complete wipe, including data.
I used dev options and found the package in data/data for wallet, its com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel
I copied com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel from data/data into a folder on my sd card. Then I did my clean wipe. I installed wallet and let it build the structure. Then when I tried it, it would hang. I stopped it, then I copied all the files back in from my backup and it worked. I overwrote the files and used es file explorer that had root.
Make sure, as always you have a good backup.
If you have any questions just give me a shout.

Sudden random freezes

It started to happen to my phone after I flashed only system.img to my rooted phone, tried to get the phone back to stock like some sort of a shortcut, to try to get OTA update.
I did not recognize it right away, but it started to happen from time to time and in all random occasions.
The phone will literally freeze for about 5-10sec and then everything will go back to normal.
The standard android message will appear that app is not responding do I want to kill it or wait.
I flashed the whole phone with stock images, temporarily rooted the phone again to enable camera2, uninstalled root, and it still happens from time to time.
Any suggestions, what can I do, what to check, where to look ?
I had kernel "Kernel Adiutor (ROOT)" previously installed, but I changed nothing major, just cpu governor to ondemand, and messed a little bit with entropy. This was installed on the phone before flashing.

You may want to clean the dalvik-cache first. (Install TWRP and clean it from there) the system is storing tons of thing in there, and *for my case* wiping it was like a deliverance ?

No custom installed auto backup aps, only default Android syncs.
I think that it has to do something with the kernel, or something deeper then stock images, maybe dodjob is right, I will try with dalvik erase, and if I remember correctly twrp has another option to clean something else, will check it today...
Is there a way to flash default stock kernel again ?

Nope, it did not work, freeze remains.
Now I need to check what Benjamin said, about internal storage, format system, and do all over again, but now without restoring backup, starting with fresh droid install.

I did it, finally, flashed all images again stock, and then don't restored backup of the phone offered by google, but do the clean new phone installation.
It works now, everything is setup and works as it should be, except camera2api, I did not enable that one yet.
Maybe, just maybe, the problem was with the way how camera2 api was enabled, I did it via adb shell.
How did you guys did it, if you have it enabled ?
This has started to happen to me since yesterday. I've had the phone to a couple of weeks and it's completely stock and un rooted. I rebooted the phone last night cause I thought it was some ram issue but it remains today. I'll give it a few days and hope it fixes itself.

Adb root shell. Can't think of a way this could damage anything if you just set the one property

Did you have device rooted for a while, or it was always stock ?

Thanx, I needed that confirmation, then my problem was probably caused by some application that wanted to take root actions, without root enabled, and causing havoc to the system, because I was restoring backup last two times, backup from rooted phone.
I had rooted phone, then flashed only system.img, then the problem started, I don't know...
I will use the phone tomorrow for work without camera2, to make sure that I don't have any more problems.

It's always been stock.
I had never rooted this phone and I am on September security patch, from September 6th, but for 2 days, 1-2 times a day I get some freeeze for 1-3 minutes. Today I tried to clear manually the cache from Facebook, and it took me 1 minute after I click the button "Clear cache". And then I got everything freezing. After a black screen for 10 seconds I got an error as you can see in the screenshot attached. I will repeat, never touched the phone's system. Does anybody meet this problem???

Yes this happens when lots of I/o is done on the internal disk. I hope this is just a missing optimization and not a hardware issue. But let's bug xiaomi with it. I assume you also have the 64GB version?
@kaiwanted, I had that, but not 2 times per day, but almost constantly and the stops were about 10-15 sec, not for a whole minutes.
Clean flash, clean new start a phone procedure when the phone boots, no restores of backup.
And erased Dalvik cache in TWRP.
Or, if you don't want to do this, try with uninstalling all unnecessary apps that you have in the phone, try the day use with minimum, to see what happens.

I read a lot regarding how people brick their phone with TWRP and rooting, so for now I will not use this future. But to reset my phone I will think about. Anyway I need this phone to use all my applications, not only a couple of them, because of this freezing (.
Thanks for suggestions.

So I uninstalled about 5-6 applications and freeze disappear. From which I remember, I uninstalled: Spendee, XDA Dev app, Zugo Wallpapers etc.
Still when I clear the cache manually from Applications in settings, it takes about a minute or more to clean 100-500mb. This is weird.
Anyway, thank you for the suggestion.

I did the same thing. Went through my application list, uninstalled everything I didn't need and the issue went away. I cleared like 5% of storage space with still over 50% left but it seems to have helped.
reflashed all stock, enabled camera 2 api using mi a2 toolkit (magisk method) and I have the same. Cleared everything and run flash_all.bat. enable cam 2 api again and still have the same issue. clean install of apps doesn't fix it. Any idea on how to fix the sudden freeze?
Thanks

if I completely root the device, I will still have the random freeze?
also, if I factory reset the device in the settings, the camera 2 api will be gone? thanks
