I'd love to know if this happens to anyone else, because I posted on the Motorola Customer Support forums and got no answer.
After getting the 5.1 update on my XT1058, I ran into a strange issue where I'd tell my phone to search for something on an app, like "Search Evernote for Soup" or "Search Spotify for Silento." Instead of doing what I asked, it'd search Youtube for "Evernote Soup" or "Spotify Silento." I couldn't figure out what was happening, until my wife said "it's because 'soup' sounds like 'Youtube.'" Apparently if I use a word that has the "oo" sound, my phone thinks I mean YouToooobe.
Does this happen to anyone else? Am I stuck? What will happen if I want to search Netflix for Goof Troop?

Hi everyone. This is not a big problem or anything, but I still haven't found a solution. On my LG from WIND, android version 2.2.2 (the P999, so not sure if I should've posted this in the G2X forum), when i use voice control to send a message, after saying the message, there is an option to add more to the message. However when I press the little mic, nothing happens. I have seen the tutorial vid, and the recording just doesn't start for me.
As I said, not a huge issue, but would be nice if somebody knows the solution.

Haven't really tried sending messages via voice. I've been off stock FW (I have a p990) for a while so I can't really verify that on LG's messaging app.
hmm. i figured it would be a tough one. thanks anyway though.
So here's my story. A couple of weeks back I had started to notice that my phone wasn't ringing when people were calling me. Through a bunch of troubleshooting found out that it seems to be my google voice account that is causing my calls to go directly to google voice. I also use google voice on my tablet as it is a lot nicer to do stuff on the bigger screen. When i looked under the settings found there was something about (Sorry this is weird) "dogfood" settings. When i clicked on it it said something about sending feedback. I backed out from there. (A little freaked out as to what that might do.) Did not have this "setting" on the phone. Needless to say I un-installed wiped the tablet. Did the same with the hero. Put new roms on both and I would be able to receive calls for a short period of time. Then after a couple of calls it would start to send calls to voicemail again and I wouldn't be able to make calls out. So finally took google voice off of both the tablet and phone and disabled google voice and now I can make and receive calls.
My problem is really like google voice and want to use it. Anyway around this? Part of the reason that I'm asking is that I see Matt uses google voice too and was wondering if anyone else had been having this problem. I don't know if there is any other app that works similarly if anyone has any suggestions let me know.
Sorry for the long post but its kinda weird and didn't wanna post "Google voice f-ed my phone" and then have to walk everyone through the troubleshooting I had already done.
Thanks.
OK this is going to sound stupid and quite obvious but..in the phone app> menu>more>settings>do not disturb. Is that off or on?
I have been using G-voice for a while now and I have never had any issues. But I do have that "dogfood" under menu on the phone app.
I remember checking on that a few different times because I remembered reading about it some time ago. I don't think that was it. It seems like someone was having trouble with that on the with the aosp/cm thread a long time ago. I was concerned with that dogfood thing but maybe it is nothing. just google having fun.
I will check on the settings thing and flash to DX and test some more.
Thanks for the info. Will let you know.

I have a good question... When you installed Google Voice at the setup screen did you hit Next at the first screen that mentions Sprint integration? This is most likely what is causing it sir. Try reinstalling GV. Then open it. When that prompt comes up again hit Skip this time. Then following the remaining instructions. It should work perfectly after this.
It sounds like an initial setup issue. I would reinstall the application again. I've been using GV without any issues.
Actually got it working sorry for not posting back. After formatting boot, system, etc. It started working correctly. Must have been something that wasn't getting erased during the normal wiping between roms.
Google Voice issues.
I too had similar problems and finally thought of going into my actual Google account and changing how Google voice handles my calls. Works ever since I did that.

I don't know how many times I had to re-install GV on my and my friends' phones before remembering that trying to integrate with Sprint's Visual Voicemail just doesn't work..

You can integrate, but you might need to go into the actual account (not the app) and make sure that it is set up not to ring to the phone and not the internet number (or whatever that option is). My issue, besides every text message going through GV, was that I couldn't make an international call. I had a credit but it would never go through AND I couldn't make a call without it using GV even when I told it not to. Maybe I should have tried to go into the account to check on that too? LOL I went back to just using GV as my voicemail.
They fubarred this whole integration. In theory it sounded good but update after update they still don't get it.
I'm using a HTC One on TrickDroid 8.0.0 and I recently got the 'com.android.htcdialer has stopped' message...it didn't seem to relate to anything I've done to the phone in terms of rooting or installing the ROM, but I noticed online some people were suggesting it might have something to do with a recent skype update?? I've also read elsewhere that this has actually affected people's dialers, which hasn't happened to me - all that has happened in my case is that I've lost all the contacts in my list and when I get missed calls I can never see them or the number they've come from, both of which are pretty annoying!
Anyone any ideas? Bear in mind I'm a bit of a rookie so answers in words of one syllable (understandable by someone who doesn't have a clue!) would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Somewhere on here, someone started a thread about this very issue and I can't find it... Someone attempted to help me on that thread but when I responded letting the person know that their solution wasn't available to me, I never heard another reply..... Voice search or voice to text ALWAYS paused my music in the past... And then one day it stopped working on my Verizon galaxy s4.. I now have a T-Mobile galaxy note 4 (had to leave Verizon, they longer had an option for me on a new phone unless I gave up my unlimited minutes or pay full price for a device) and voice to text does NOT pause my music!!! Very very annoying, it was suggested to me that I needed to rollback the drivers to the last version but on my device, this option is not available to me ?.. If someone can walk me through rolling back the drivers, that would be fantastic!!!! If I clear the cache and reset the music will pause, I originally thought I fixed it but the problem has returned...
Thank you in Advance
Got a weird one here, if I get a message, and android auto reads it to me, auto then asks "do you want to reply yes or no" ... however, even though the android auto bar shows waiting for a response, I say Yes, and nothing ... as if it is not picking my voice up
However, if after the message is read ... I then say OK Google, and dictate the message, it picks up what I am saying, and send the message
If it would not pick my voice up at all, then yeah, that would be the problem, but only when replying seems a bit weird
Anybody seen this, or got any ideas?
Thanks
Steve
i can reply to messages but i can't initiate them. whether it be whats app, messages or making phone calls, when i try to send or call, google voice says "i'm sorry, i don't understand." i've tried installing older versions of AA, but since i'm working off a tablet, i have to install the "android auto for phone screen" app, which brings me back to the latest configuration. i'm using Emil Borconi's "head unit reloaded app" as well, but nothing helps. anyone experience this and can suggest a workaround?

Hi Steve,
it seems your problem is very similar to mine.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/realme-x2-pro/help/answer-to-text-message-using-android-t4186189
I've tried everything that came to my mind but nothing solved the issue.
I've cleared the Cache of :
-Android auto
-Google
-Gboard
Also I've installed the "Android Auto for phone" App.
All these measures helped for a while but the issue finally came back.
I've read that other companies phones such as Samsung S10 faced the same issue but it seems to be solved for them now. I wrote an email to Realme Support 2 months ago but they never replied.
I'm still searching for a solution but... no joy for the moment.
