Hey everyone, I just recently made the switch to the Moto X and I love it. One of my favorite features is definitely touchless control. Unless I'm mistaken it's only supposed to respond to my voice yet after several attempts to train it to my voice it will still respond to other people's voice and even sometimes to ambient noise such as the TV.
Strange thing is a coworker of mine also has a Moto X, (it responds to his voice almost every time) yet his voice won't respond to me. Anyone else getting this issue? It's certainly not make or break but it's kinda annoying.

Does it do it very often? Did you train the phone in a quiet room? Mine does it every once in a while but not often at all. I trained it with no ambient noise. Very rarely will someone else make it wake up but I read if you train it in a loud room or once with a lot of ambient noise, you may have a problem.
My Moto X at first was perfect.. then i wiped it clean after i upgraded to 4.4 and re-trained my voice. and then it started picking up everyone elses voices and recognizing them as commands as well. I locked myself in the closet and retrained my voice a couple of times. now it's perfect once again. give that a try!

I did this and it's really better here.

Something I noticed today while driving was my Bluetooth audio would cutout every few minutes. It only happened on my Nexus 5 with an alpha ROM, but was fixed later. Anyone else notice this?

On the new moto x? No, I just had a couple hour car ride with zero issues listening to Play Music and Slacker Radio. Made a few calls, no issues either.
This happened to me on a 20 mile bike ride. Horrible having choppy audio for almost a few hours
I just noticed this too. I do have a Moto 360 as well so maybe that is messing with the blueooth? I have gone a couple car rides and it's perfect, and others it's really choppy.
This does seem to be a problem with me too. Sometimes perfect and sometimes not. When connected to Bluetooth I notice that Google maps speaker goes in and out as well as moto voice while driving
I can confirm that if you have a 360 this is the cause. You can verify this by disconnecting the 360 through wear and the problem going away. For now what I have due is set up an IFTT to disconnect wear when by car's Bluetooth is connected.
I actually don't have anything else connected via Bluetooth and it still happens to me.
I figured it out. I was driving and I turned off Bluetooth completely and the voice worked perfectly. As soon as I connected back to Bluetooth the voice got choppy again...
I looked over in the Note 3 forums, and users were experiencing the same thing. Someone said to listen to music with the screen on to fix it. Today I listened to music with the screen left on and sure enough my music didn't stutter once the whole car ride.
This leads me to think either the processor is getting clocked too low for playing music through A2DP when the screen is off, or perhaps active display makes it stutter whenever it activates. I will look into it further today.
In the mean time, does anyone know of a processor control app that will change the minimum processor clock if bluetooth is connected? Perhaps there is one with a tasker plugin.
I'm experiencing the same issue, really sucks.... I'll try disconnecting the Moto360 on my drive today and see if that fixes it - although I swear I've had the issue before while it wasn't connected.

SetCPU could possibly do this. You can definitely set the minimum CPU clock, but I'm not a 100% whether you can get it to do this WHEN a bluetooth device is connected. SetCPU has a profiles where you can define certain parameters based on conditions.
Of course, before you can get SetCPU working you'll need to root your phone and I have a suspicion that all other CPU clock apps will need root access too.
Has anyone had any luck resolving this?

I'm hoping that either an OTA or Android L will fix this. My Moto X is fine when I'm using my Motorola S11-HD headset, but when connected to my car it goes in and out every few seconds.
So it isn't the processor. So far i have it down to either Wi-Fi or active display. Will report more when i find it.
Turning Wi-Fi off while connected to my car Bluetooth has fixed the issue for me. At least, so far it has.
I'm using PowerAMP for playing music and when I enabled the "high priority" setting in the headphone/bluetooth settings it seems to have resolved the problem until today. This morning on the way from work it started to cut out every few seconds. grrrr...
I have 2 bluetooth adapters in my car, one which takes only phone audio and one which takes phone and media audio, the latter one continously drops and reconnects phone audio (even after forgetting the other device), which makes me believe it is some hardware compatibility issue
I have posted on the official Motorola Forums but I though I should re-post here as well becuase well....XDA fixes things.
So I just purchased a Moto X 2nd Gen Pure Edition as an upgrade to My 1st Gen Moto G. Both phones have the same problem with the Bluetooth Audio sounding like a scratched CD skipping and studdering and it seems to be way worse a problem on the Moto X than I ever had on the Moto G. It's not buffering it happens with music on the phone. It doesn't happen every time I'm in the car but I'd say 50% of the time.
I would think it's the car but before the Moto G I owned a Galaxy Nexus and never had the problem as far as I remember. I'm sure I would remember it's really really annoying. I have even tested with a friends HTC M8 over a long road trip and there seemed to be no issue there. In my car (2011 Subaru Impreza) with the G or X after a time it eventually starts skipping even if it takes a couple hours.
So I did some research before and have tried various things.
I have disabled the Wifi while connecting to BT as Motorola has recommended to owners of other phones. That didn't help them it doesn't help me.
I have removed all other BT devices from the phone while connected. Nope
I have removed the Phone in the profile so my car doesn't try to use it as a phone as well at the same time. Nothing
I have done all of the above at the same time stopped every other program other than Google Music and added the phone to my car fresh and I still have this issue.
During my research about my car the only complaints similar I found seem to come from someone else with Moto phones. I dont' know what they do special with their Bluetooth but it's not helping me out.
You could try to upgrade your car's firmware. Some dealers do this for free, with some cars it is easy to do yourself

This is what fixed the audio in my Mustang with Sync. The Ford dealership did not charge me anything for them to do it.

I'm having a problem with Moto Voice. Every morning I stream Spotify for a few hours at work with my earbuds in. The phone is in my pocket. For some reason Moto Voice activates by itself and stops the music. When I pull my phone out of my pocket it has that blue screen that is prompting me for a command. This happens randomly every day (maybe 5 or 6 times). I've tried re-training my voice and even did a factory reset. Any idea what the problem could be? I'm on Verizon.
My Moto X has done the same about five times in the 28 hours I've owned it. I'm thinking of recording a new trigger phrase just in case mine's too simple and is getting triggered accidentally by ambient noise.

I tried that a couple of times. Didn't work for me. Right now I'm using "Wake up Moto X".
I'm experiencing the same problem with two different Bluetooth devices: an LG Tone headset and a FlexSmart In-Car Transmitter. Moto Voice seems to activate whenever Bluetooth is disconnected or in my case when I power off either device.
As a test, while connected, I disabled Bluetooth through the Settings toggle and a few seconds later Moto Voice proudly exclaimed, "Please say a command".
I changed to the default "OK Google Now" this morning to see whether it helps.
I did wonder whether the Moto Assist screen was appearing for other reasons and not actually being triggered by my voice (such as when the phone switches to car or sleep profiles), but I'm not yet sure.
All the podcasts I listen to think it's hilarious to say the trigger phrases and set off everyone's phones in their cars.
Figured out what the problem is. The headset jack is faulty. If the plug on the ear buds moved a little while it was in the phone, the sound would cut in and out and sometimes activate Moto voice. Got a new phone on the way!
Has anybody solved this issue? Every time I get out of my car, Voice starts up, whether I was streaming or not. I have turned off the Driving part of Moto and it didn't make a difference. It's not a huge deal, it just times out after a while but it is frustrating.
I'd forgotten about this. Changing my wake-up phrase to "Hey Moto wake up" seems to have fixed it - I think I've only had one unexpected trigger since I did that.
I think I solved my issue. I had installed "Bluetooth Connect and Play." I thought it might be the problem so I disabled it - the issue continued. I deleted it entirely today and the problem has stopped. I guess I'll finally have to figure out Tasker and set it up. I bought it on sale a couple years ago and have never spent enough time with it to figure out how to program it.
Just got my Moto X today and I notice the in call volume to be low. Volume is at max and I still have a hard time hearing calls. Anyone else experiencing this or know of a fix?
Well I swapped out phones and the new Moto X seems better although not as loud as my previous Samsung devices. Guess I'll adjust.
I noticed this happens sometimes on mine, and it happened on both handsets I've received (exchanged my first handset for another one through Moto Maker). Will poke around my settings and see if there's something we're missing...
Hi Folks:
I love my Moto X 2014. However, when my wife calls me from her Moto X 2014 I can hardly hear what she says sometimes. Here voice gets lowered/amplified dynamically depending on how she holds the phone. It seems that noise cancellation is somehow considering her voice background noise and clips it out. She has the same issue when using my phone (on the same carrier), so it's not the network/the specific handset. Has anyone else experienced this? Are there known solutions to the issue? Morotorla blames third-party apps and/or the network, but we have experienced this on both phones out of the box on KitKat and Lollipop.
All the best,
Jeroen Claes
Hi
I had/ have this issue. My phone was sometimes clipping my voice and other times making it really quiet and echoey. The latter issue was traced down to the case I was using but I still occasionally get the issue where it clips my voice. This seems to happen when I'm in a quiet room, not sure if the way I'm holding the phone is causing the issue, as I thought maybe my palm was blocking the back lower mic. I was going to return the phone to be looked at and contacted Motorola who seemed quite happy to do this. But ATM I'm trying to see if the issue sorts itself now I've ditched the case.
