Hi guys, so moto assist used to tell me who was calling either by saying the contact name or telling me the number.
Now the ringtone sounds for just a second and the phone goes silent and the notificaction bar silent icon suddenly appears.
What can I do? "I have the talk to me" option checked and also tried clearing the data from the app itself.
I think the problem may be due to my girlfriend changing the language on the phone and re programming the touchless control to hr voice in spanish, wich I later changed back to my voice and system language to english...
Thanks in advance!

Just a shot in the dark here, but did you check that your notification volume was up. It could be off/too low and that might cause the problem. If that's not it, you may need to do a full reset to fix it. Good luck!
Not quite the same but when I flashed a different Moto-X update and my phone became American but even after settings everything back to UK non of the Moto specific options would work or work properly
Flashed back to a Brittish update and everything started working so I would consider doing a factory reset and starting over again
I did a full whipe and reset of the phone and checked the sound levels with no luck.
Then I noticed when placing a call my phone says "llamando" which is spanish for "Calling" and everything myphone read to me was in english but awkwardly spoken, as if a spanish person would be reading, hahahaha. So, thats was the second clear clue.
Then I went to languages and inputs and checked "text to speech output", then, "motorola tts" and it offered me only spanish and portuguese languages.
It seems that the OTA update to android 4.4.3 had only those options, maybe because OTA detected my latin amaerican carrier (movistar, Chile).
What I don't know for sure is if before, when moto assist worked just fine with 4.4.2, was by default in english.
Is there a way to add languages to motorola tts? Any stock motorola rom from another country that would work just fine with my XT1058 that surely would use english TTS?
Issues since August 20 update
I've been having issues since the August 20 update of Motorola Assist and it looks like some reviewers in the Play Store are as well. Nothing of mine had changed, clearing etc doesn't seem to have any effect, same with uninstalling updates and re-updating.
I am pretty sure, in my case at least, the problem is on the motorola tts language option.
I need some feedback on a rom that is fully supported for my xt1058 and is kind of stock motorola. I have this phone so recently that I haven't had time enough to investigate if custom roms take away the touchless control, active display, etc. works on them.
Please help me with that

Has anyone had any issues with the microphones not working? When using Google Now or Voice Search, it says to speak now but doesn't recognize that I have spoken. It also doesn't show grey in the circle around the microphone button when I talk.
Also tried a factory reset which didn't help.
I'm pretty sure i heard something about having to go into language and input settings and download the voice recognition engine for any specific language
I had this exact problem, but then it told me a system update was available, I ran that, reinstalled, and it worked fine. Not sure if they were related, but it definitely existed and then was fixed.
I checked in Language & input > Voice Search and I think you are talking about the option to Download offline speech recognition. You can download lots of different languages if you want. I checked and English was already installed and the default Language was set to English (US).
I also checked for updates to the OS. Running Android version 4.1.1 Build Number JRO03D.
Unfortunately, the problem is still occurring.
Just called Google. They are replacing my nexus 7 for this issue. Luckily the do advance exchange so I won't be without my sweet new toy while they ship the new one.
None here

Nexus 7 I bought from Staples.com had the same mic issue (mic stopped working like OP). I called their Customer Service and they said they will pick up my defected unit and drop off replacement unit tomorrow.
I keep trying to use this app, but it constantly quits or stops responding on Moto X 2014!
I’ve even had verizon replace the phone!
After a factory reset, it tends to work for maybe a few hours, to a day, but then eventually stops working again. Even with no other apps installed on the phone besides the stock apps!
any ideas?

Odd you are having that problem. I am having a problem where its too sensitive. It picks up when i dont even say my phrase but someone else, even someone on TV, might say something similar and it comes alive. Thats pretty annoying.

You may want to try enabling Audio History, which will better train the feature through repeated use of voice commands.
It's in Settings> Language & Input> Voice Search.
Update to Initial
I've isolated the problem to contacts. If i sync my google contacts with the device, moto voice will constantly crash and eat battery / CPU. as soon as i delete the google account and re-sync without contacts, it works. any clue what the issue here might be?

I am having the exact same issue with a Moto X 2014 from AT&T. This is actually my second one. They both had the same problem. The Moto Voice recognition would stop working. I tried going into the Moto app. Three of the options work ( Assist, etc.) but the Voice option would regularly freeze up and not go into the options screen. Clearly some sort of bug, I will have to try disable the google contacts sync and see if that helps. If Motorola doesn't come up with a fix ASAP, I'm going to choose a different phone that isn't bug-ridden in it's most advertised feature!
Curious, did you keep back up and restore checked when you signed into your google account? Try removing your google account, when you sign back in, uncheck the first option to back up and restore phone settings. I'm wondering if a phone setting from a previous phone is causing the issue.
I can't speak for the OP, but in my case it's not caused by a previous phone setting as this is my first Android. iPhone before that.
For the OP: seeing as you've narrowed it down to the contacts causing the problem: perhaps exporting all your contacts, deleting them all than importing them back in might either fix it or provide some insight.
additional troubleshooting idea: create a new Google account and see if the problem reoccurs

Moto Voice Issues Solved
After reading several posts on various forums it seems that everyone that was having issues with Moto Voice was coming from another phone OS (mostly iphone, but blackberry too) and had imported contacts from their old phone.
I removed my google account from the Moto X, deleted all the imported contacts from google contacts, then added my google account back on the phone. Now everything works great, but I have to manually add all my contacts at google.com/contacts or on my phone. Perhaps there is another importation method that would work, but it's a shame that Motorola has such a significant bug that will discourage people from switching from other OS's.
My Moto Voice seems to be playing up. I've only properly noticed it today.
Here's how it goes when the device is sleeping.
Me: What's up Moto X
Voice: beep
Me: Send text to wife
Voice: Ok. What's your message?
Me: hello
Voice: Ok sending. Say or type a pin.
Me: 1234
Screen says 'message sent' but it doesn't send the message!!
Same problem when I ask it to set a timer!
I'm seeing the same problem on a Samsung SG3. There is a recently introduced bug in the recent Search update. This was reported on Android Central. Article here.
I'm glad to see it formally reported, I have been searching the heck out of it and coming up with nothing. I've reinstalled GNL, Search & Hangouts to no avail.
In my case, when using Voice Command for a text, I get a "no SMS app installed" error, despite having Hangouts as my default message app.
I'm hoping they get this sorted quickly. My phone has had this bug for the past week or two.
It's not your brand new phone acting up, it's Search software bugs.
Right I changed my launch phrase to something else and now I can set a timer. but sending a message still not working. I'm running the stock Messaging app. Anyone else experiencing this??
Messaging still not working when using Moto Voice. I've note opened a support case with Motorola. I've made sure Messaging is the default app, used different launch phrases, tried restarting my phone.
Anyone else experiencing this?
My voice command text messaging is back. I recieved a Gmail update the other day, probably serendipity. I tried voice command texting today & it worked! I can also set an alarm via voice command, but not the countdown timer. The alarm is used for all timer sets now. Go figure, maybe server side on Google's part.
Motorola advised me to restart in safe mode and try again but no luck.
Now they're advising me to do a factory reset of the phone but I'm reluctant to do this as I'll lose ALL my settings and apps. Will try and make some time tonight or tomorrow to perform this. Will need to make a list of all my apps and folders I've created.
Still no go? That kind of stinks. They're just telling you the standards, factory reset, etc. Your apps should come flying back as you log back into your Google account after a factory reset. It's just time consuming to factory reset.
Moto Voice just released an update a little while ago. Give that a try.
I've managed to fix the issue after narrowing it down.
It was only not working when texting my wife. It worked for others.
I deleted her number from Contacts app and created it again and now it's working perfectly.
The Moto Voice update didn't make a difference as I tried that. Didn't bother with a factory reset in the end as it just takes too long and pointless.
Hopefully this helps others who get the same issue.
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.
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
