When I am in the camera app, i tapped the back soft key rapidly 3 times to exit camera app to go into my home screen. However it launches me into the google quick search.
This is not a major issue but juz like to know if anyone encounters this too. Software glitch or meant to be this way? I know that dragging from soft keys will bring us to quick search.

Do you mean Google Now? AKA Google Cards?
My phone does this and it did it on my Xperia T.
It does it in almost any situation where i hit the back button multiple times quickly and gets very annoying after a while!
Right. Sorry bout that. I meant Google Now. Apparently only happened in camera app. No prob with other app. And yes very irritating!

you can disable it . go into settings / applications choose all app tab and find google search apk uninstall updates and disable it and you will not have that issue anymore.
Thank you! That helped alot!

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

That pops up even when using the NFC beam to receive files.
Anyway to disable that.
It makes beam suck as it sometimes takes a bit to pop up and I've had it immediately time out.
On the T-Mobile z with the .67 unbranded fw.
Thanks
Edit: attached screenshot
Anyone know how to make it work like aosp?
Touchwiz doesn't have this issue

In the last software update does not work anymore voice recording, voice search does not work and the voice dictation of text messages. He tells me (you can not reach google at the moment) but it works for calls. I tried doing a reset by update service and PC Companion, but I have not solved. Can anyone help me?
Don't know what's happening precisely, taking a guess.
Update your apps on play store
Update google play services(hangout might be giving you a notification) or just search for it.
Use a voice recorder, check if it is recording properly.
Might be a hardware issue.

Thank you for having responded. I had already tried this solution but to no avail. I reinstall the firmware via flashtool is 10.4.B.0.569 I solved the problem. Surely it is a software problem. We look forward to improvements with 4.4.2 hoping for a complete resolution of errors.:good:
I updated my phone this weeked and the Voice search and dictation is working for me. Did it had to do something with the internet connectivity? Just guessing, coz I get the same error message when on slow GPRS connection.:crying:
Whenever I open a message In hangouts directly from the moto display screen, it automatically goes to the top of the thread rather than the bottom where the new message is.
This does not happen when opening hangouts from the Android lockscreen or when the phone is unlocked, so I'm assuming it's a moto display issue. Anyone else have this?

I have this happen but not all the time. It also happens sometimes on my nexus 4 and 7, so I think it is a Google bug that came with the new material design version of hangouts.

It happens every time for me. It's annoying, but if you got to read the message when you were on moto display and know what your reply is going to be you can just type it in and hit enter and it jumps to the bottom of the thread. Definitely annoying though.
