Google Now on lock screen with Bullets V2 - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi,
I currently have a problem that is bothering me a bit.
Let me explain my situation.
I bought Tasker & AutoVoice so I could control the lights in my room with my voice.(AutoVoice is an app that intercepts Google Now voice messages).
Now I got that all up and running pretty good, however now I'm running into a problem.
I can't access Google Now when the screen is locked/off. To access it I use my Bullets V2 button.
In the app there is a message the Google prevents to intercept any Searches made from the lock screen. However I can't even access Google Now in the lock screen.
My question is, is there a way to let Google Now be accessed when the screen is off with the button from my Bullet V2?
Or is there another app that works with Google Speech to Text and Tasker (I know there are some for English but Google Speech recognition is the only one that understands Dutch good enough so it has to work with that)?

Oneplus bullet v2 earphones pauses music when in motion
While listening to music on my earphones while riding a motorbike the music pauses automatically. No matter how many times and press the button to resume, it pauses on its own after like 10 seconds (approx). This happens only above the speed of 40kmph/25mph. I've tried all the music apps possible, with or without the internet, in airplane mode, everything but still the bug persists. Has anyone else also faced the same issue? Any solutions?

no sms sounds on ota ics

Just updated to ota ics yesterday from stock rooted gb. Used voodoo rootkeeper and undid all my manual debloat before upgrading. Everything seems ok except for this. Volume is turned up, vibrate works, and it's not set to silent. I wish i could link the ringtone and notifications volume, but thats another thread. Ringtones DO work when i get a call, and even my reminder app (Missed Call Reminder) plays the right sound when i have a missed sms. I havent tried any alternate sms apps like handscent or go, since i dont need any of that stuff.
I have disabled quite a lot of crap via the stock apps control panel, but none of that should have anything to do with this... if necessary i could put together a list of what i've disabled, but since im typing this on the phone, that would take forever.
Any ideas? (And any ideas on how to link notification and ringtone volumes so i can adjust both at the same time using the volume rocker, just like i could in gb?)
just discovered this morning (when trying to update my ad-blocking hosts file) that voodoo did not restore root. went back into rootkeeper and tried to restore, and even though it says "root su restored" doesn't check the boxes that say "device rooted" or "root permission granted" (other 3 boxes are checked) - so basically it failed. i'll try to re-root the phone tonight (can't do it using my work PC) but i doubt that will fix this problem.
if it matters, here's what i've disabled using the apps control panel:
amazon kindle
facebook
google play books
google play movies
google play music
google+
mog music
motoactv
motocast id
music store
my music
my verizon mobile
nfl mobile
quickoffice
slacker radio
slingbox
social location
swype
v cast tones
verizon video
video calling
videosurf
vz navigator
i used to use a custom notification sound from the internal storage, but tried switching to several of the stock ones (tweeters, captain's log, caff. snake, etc) but those don't work either. they play when i select them from the list, and when i get a reminder tone from the reminder app, but the only thing that happens when i get a text is that the phone vibrates (i have it set to vibe + ring).
i don't really want to do a master reset, but i'm getting the feeling that's probably going to be the next step. i have tibu, i just don't want to spend the time doing all that.

[Q] Google Nav: no turn-by-turn or Ivona voices

On my Bionic, I used to be able to use Google Nav with turn-by-turn instructions & Ivona voice. For the past few months, I can't get either to work with it. I've just been using Waze since it does give TBT, but I miss the Ivona voices.
I've done google searches on both these problems, and turned up nothing useful.
I've deleted cache, un-installed & re-installed Ivona, done the whole "set the default/play the example/reset the default" thing, un-installed Google Maps updates, re-installed the updates, gone into settings & disabled Google voice...nothing seems to work.
Does anyone know of a way to get one or both of these things to work??? It's making me nuts.
Or, failing that, any suggestions for a good GPS program that WILL let me use the Ivona voices? I miss the Aussie girl telling me where to go.
On JB, rooted. No special ROMs but would GLADLY put one on if it would solve the problem.
I have had the issue of no voice during navigation once in a while. I generally keep the voice on mute, but sometimes when I turn it on, I don't get the voice nav. If I keep it set for voice (not muted) and restart the phone, I get the voice back. I don't know anything about Ivona voice, though.

When this happens, do you not get any voice, or do you not get turn-by-turn? I always get a voice, just not the one I want and not as detailed as I want.
Typically I get the normal voice nav, but on a few occasions I would get no voice. A restart would bring it back. Apps like Google Now still 'talk' even when voice nav is silent. Have you checked with the Ivona dev or website?
Only the IVONA US voice (Kendra) will work for me in Google Navigation; not Ivona UK (Amy) or Australia (Nicole).
Even though Amy is selected as default, Kendra's voice is used in Google Nav. However Amy's voice plays correctly in all other apps.
Interesting. I'll give her a try!
Just an update, if it can help anyone
I'm going to follow-up on this, in case anyone was using Ivona & gave up.
With the latest Google Maps update (the one that removes the Navigation icon), I can use Ivona...mostly. Maps starts navigation with the standard voice, then quickly switches to my Ivona (Aussie Nicole, in my case) & gives turn-by-turn. If I re-route, then the standard voice comes back until it figures out where it wants me to go & it's back to Ivona.
So...if you had Ivona, dumped it because it wouldn't work or could only get one voice to work, try it again. It seems to be working again.
If It Helps Anyone...
I had this problem on my Note 2 (with and without cyanogen) - it would not use Ivona in google maps tts output, no matter how many settings I tinkered with. The fix for this was to download an app to force locale settings - MoreLocale2 and Set Locale and Language from the Google play store both worked perfectly when I set them to proper "English - United States".
Interesting. I use IVONA for a while, but nowadays I switched to Google's TTS (not Pico, the new Google one) that arguably sounds as good as IVONA.

Tasker Voice Input WITHOUT AutoVoice/Tasker Now

Does anyone know of any way of using voice with Tasker that doesn't involve using Google services? I've only got Google App installed for the offline voice recognition, using the xposed plugin to force it to offline, I don't want to use anything else Google related (and the minute someone comes up with an alternative offline option I'll jump ship immediately.) That includes Google Play, so AutoVoice and Tasker Now are out. (Before anyone nitpicks, I use microG to provide the rest of the framework )
All I want to do is, when I press my bluetooth headset it launches my voice control task. I've got it set up so that when I use it from the phone I can use the search helper option when I use long press on the home button, set up with Event: Button: Long Search, but whenever I use my car BT button it launches Google Now.
Is there a way to intercept the intent perhaps? Or an alternative free app? Or a setting I've missed?
Thanks in advance!
There's a voice option native in Tasker.... Or a bt button pressed option. Either of those can run your task right?
The task works fine, using Get Voice, but I can't find a BT button pressed event.

Hi
how do you tigger autovoice so?
I didn't use Autovoice. And since then, utter was reborn as Saiy. I was trying to use Tasker to make a workable utter alternative, but no need now!

Can these issues be fixed on China P30 Pro VOG-AL00

I got a p30 pro as a gift in China and coming from a Pixel 2XL, this software is incredibly frustrating.
My 3 main annoyances are:
1. Google Pay doesn't seem to work. Everytime I try to setup my card, an error message says "Can't complete setup for contactless payment. To resolve this, you'll need to contact...." This is so annoying, why bother allowing the app to be installed in the first place? In Settings, you can even choose Google Pay as a default payment app.
2. Notifications do not persist on lockscreen. E.g. when using Spotify, the playback controls show up initially on lockscreen, but disappears shortly after. Once a new song starts playing, the controls show up again. Same goes for all kinds of notifications like email, messages, etc. They do show up after unlocking the phone, but even if I don't dismiss them, I can't see them on the lockscreen. I've turned on the Show on lockscreen option in all the affected apps, but no dice. I disabled face unlock and that doesn't help neither
3. Google assistant. In settings, the Access with Voice Match toggle is greyed out, so there's no way to trigger assistant unless by opening the Google or Google assistant app.
Searching these forums has been pointless, no one seems to know how to fix these issues. Now Huawei doesn't even allow unlock bootloader and root anymore....
Has anyone found any workaround?
Thanks and have an awesome weekend

Question Google Assistant

If it's not difficult to answer one question - do you use the Google Assistant app? They even made a separate button to call it.
This question came up not out of nowhere.
I do not use it, turn it off in the settings and even reassigned the button.
But, several times, spontaneously activated the voice search or query, just as it happens when calling the Assistant. I did not press any buttons or ask anything. I only heard a distinctive beep. That is, it happened without my involvement.
Deleting the Assistant wasn't enough, I had to remove the Google app and a couple of other Assistant-related apps.
Trust me, I'm not being paranoid.
Do you want this app from "corporation of goodness" that brazenly spies on everything and everyone, or not?
