[Q] Google Voice

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.

[Q] LG P880: Problems with microphone and hotword detection in OMNIRom

Hey guys,
I'm having this issue since I have activated the "Hotword detection from any screen" option in the Google Search: what happens is that when I activate the option related above, the microphone stops working for everything, it just works for "Ok Google" and everything you say to it, but it kills the microphone for everything else. I just realized that I was having that issue when I made a phone call and no one who I called could hear me... then I tried to send a Whatsapp voice message but it didn't recognize any word I said to it... Then I thought it was the "OK Google" option, so I deactivated for any screen and the microphone started to work like always, phone calls, whatsapp voice messages, everything the microphone was needed, it also works only with the "OK Google" from Google Search app activated.
Maybe this could be helpful:
I use the gString app and when I try to tune my instrument and the hotword detection from any screen is activated it says: "Failed to properly initialize the microphone of your device; the tuner will now close. This usually happens, when another misbehaving app is still holding a lock on your microphone, although it has already been backgrounded."
The question is, Does anyone have the same problem?? Is there a solution for that issue? I am using the official OMNIRom nightlies, I have installed the last GAPPS from PA-GAPPS, and of course I have updated them as they required it. I really love that option, it's very helpful for me. I will appreciate any help you could give me.
Thank you guys.
Regards from Colombia

Google assistant

Just wondering if anyone else has had an issue with Google Assistant telling you she can't do something until the device is unlocked? This just happened this morning when I told Google to set and alarm after browsing the web. I got the above response. Tried a restart, did it again. Retrained voice.. still did it. I finally just went to apps and cleared all data and cache​ for Google app. That seems to have worked. Weird issue to have. Phone was unlocked whole time.

this isnt an issue, this is on purpose because someone cant take your phone and do random stuff with it.

a work-around for this might be setting up "trusted voice" . Google Now, settings, voice, ok google detection, switch on "trusted voice". Sorry if you've done this already.

Ahh I'm having Google assistant issues it always seem to disconnected whenever I need it.. It does not recognize okay Google or even when I press the Google widget I have to go to chrome and google things there and voice does not work there... But people can hear me normal when I make phone calls or send whats app... And i disabled and reinstalled good app already

google now

Got the p20 pro today. First impressions are good. Although I have one problem which I had read about. Google now will not let me turn on voice activation (ok Google)
I say ok Google three times but then have no next button to proceed and therefore voice activation stays off.
I've seen other mention about maps being slow. Not used it for driving yet. But done a few searches without issue.
I have the dual SIM varient.

I have fixed this problem. By clearing Google app cache and then disabling and enabling the app. From research this is a common android problem not specific to Huawei nor p20 pro.

With my P20 Pro I have to set the device language to "English". When I switch back to "German", I can't use voice activation. I get a message like "There's a problem with your microphone. Please try again in a few seconds" (translated from German).

Google Voice Search/Google Assistant Huawei P30 Pro

So I had just about reached the decision to have Huawei replace my battery for £39 and rock the P30 Pro for another year or two rather than upgrade.
Unfortunately all of a sudden Google Voice Search/Voice assistant isn't responding/recognising my microphone .
This feature is very important to me...
The microphone works for calls, Voice notes, recorder etc.
I have tried factory resetting phone, Rolling back updates on Google app and reapplying updates, clearing cache, checked permissions. I have very restrictive settings for Google but nothing which I can see should stop the assistant/Voice Search working. I can't even retrain my voice as it's though Google can't hear me.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting? I really don't want to have to spend hundreds on a new phone when the Huawei still meets my needs.
Thanks in advance

i have had the same issue for a few months now. Mine will work from time to time. I even ordered replacement bottom mic/sim card tray. well i wasted money on that, mic works find, didn't replace . Hopefully we can find a solution to this issue, i really didn't wanna buy another phone.
