Was using google navigation today and noticed that there was no spoken word, just chimes. I couldnt find setting for this application. I removed updates then reinstalled it and still no progress. Any suggestions?
Edit: navigation sound was all the way up and so was ringtone. is there a voice library I have to download?
I am rooted through visionary
Download tts service extended from the market

Hi,
I had some problems with the Text to Speech app.
At first, when I was opening Google Navigation, it was saying that it needs to download text-to-speech, and if I clicked "Skip" it would just navigate with out talking, just making a tone sound every turn.
But if I was clicking the "Install" which suppose to download and install a TTS app that could read out loud the streets name, so instead, it gave an error message of "Sorry the application Maps (process com.google.android.apps.maps) has stopped unexpectedly."
So I tried to solve it out and went to Settings>Voice in&out put> Text-to-Speech Settings, But When I pressed on it, it gave me the same error message of the "sorry the app .... crashed"
So I understand the problem is here so I went to Titanium Backup and uninstalled it (unfortunately didn't backup), the "TTS Service 2.3.3" app.
But now when I go to Google Navigation and make a destination, it crashes immediately with no question of installing the TTS, and no option to navigate..
What shell I do now? I tried to reinstall the Google Maps, ain't working.
Does anyone got this TTS Service 2.3.3 and could he send me it?
I can't find it on market or google search. :\
I am using Ginger bread 2.3.3
ROM: Virtuous Unity 1.29.0 (Ace)
Thanks,
Yarden.
I'm having a similar problem. Trying to use anything with TTS force closes, sometimes it just force closes the TTS app (installed via an apk) and sometimes it crashes the app calling it.
A market search yields nothing relevant and a direct link to it in the market will show the "Not Supported" message.

Hi, I am also having the same issue as above. Any application that uses Text to Speech force closes on me - including the settings menu for voice input and output. I'm using Android Revolution 6.1.3 ROM. Does anyone have any solutions for this at all please? I have tried installing numerous TTS engines but to no avail. Thanks in advance
Get an app that can show you your installed apps (e.g. Titanium Backup). Search for these apps:
* Pico TTS
* TTS Service
* TTS Service Extended
* Voice Search
My guess is that you don't have that second app, TTS Service, installed.
Let me know which of those is on your phone.
I assume you're using the Desire HD/Inspire 4G, yes?

im having the same issue, where can i get the tts service extended apk?
I'll post it later tonight. You can probably find it through Google.
Sorry I took so long w/this. Caught a bug last night; still under the weather.
Backup before you install this. No guarantees it'll work.
I'm using CM7RC1v2 and I'm having troubles choosing a different navigation app in the contacts by clicking the address...it always opens Google Maps.
I tried deleting the default settings...but it's greyed out.
I deleted Google Maps but then nothing opened when clicking the address....
I tried deleting the default settings from my other navigation app but that was greyed out as well.
Any idea?
So, no clue anyone?
Hello again,
right now I installed cm7 from scratch (not only due to this bug but performance issues). Unfortunately it had no impact: I still cannot link any navigation app to my contacts addresses!
edit: seems to be a bug in the navi software...another one worked.
Hi.
Since 4.2, google navigation is unable to locate me on the map. As a result it just doesn't work and stay on "locating your position" or something like that.
If I use other gps based app (such ingress, car home ultra, etc....) those app have no problem to find me accurately.
I've tried clearing cache and data in the app section of control pannel. Also in the recovery mode but no success.
I use the latest map app version
I use stock rom for yakju 4.2 on a galaxy nexus
------------------EDIT WITH THE SOLUTION-------------------
Thanx to @Enforceman here's the solution:
-on main page press the search bar at the top (box written Google following of a mike symbol). This will open Google Now
-then Google now will tell you that location service is currently Off.
-You will have a link to a setting menu to turn it on
-Go in that menu and turn it on.
THERE IS IT. YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE A WORKING GPS with google apps.
What Google should have done at first is that after the OTA at reboot they should have put a windows asking if we would like to turn on that feature. After a clean wipe it will work because they explain google now. But not after the ota......anyway it is done, it work, that's all that matter for me

Anyone having this issue?
I've aslo noticed that the camera app can't get geo-location infos.....but Camera FX does.
So it is really something about the google apps! Any non-google apps work perfectly with GPS and the GPS test app work fine.

I had this issue too. Other GPS apps would locate me but Google maps would not after 4.2 OTA even though location services were turned on in settings. Apparently, that setting is for non-google apps and there is another setting switch somewhere for google apps.
I found a fix after I noticed that my Google Now cards were not working. I clicked on the top search bar which brings up search and google Now. At the bottom there was a message that said my location access was turned off. I clicked on that and then clicked on the settings link that it had.
It brought me to a new white setting screen with a switch for location access which i switched to ON. It seems that this specific switch has to be on for google apps to access the GPS.
Works now. Hope that helps

This has been happening to my phone for the last 3 days. When I press on microphone on Google search and say weather, a card pops up with the current temperature and forcast for next few days with a voice announcing the location and temperature . Now when I do the same Google presents me with a browser link showing max and min temp. I have enabled Google now, location access, disabled and enabled Google now, but it doesn't show up.
Anyone experiencing this problem? Any fix to it.
Clearing cache and data from application settings and uninstalling updates helps. Installing the latest version of Google search bring back the problem.

Google search is Google now, I'm not sure why you are making a distinction, unless you are using google search from the browser which you shouldn't. When I type weather into Google Now it shows me my current location weather. When I say Weather it shows me the same thing and announces it with voice.
PS> Seems you are using the old voice search app. Remove it and just use the Google app.
I'm using adw launcher and adw launcher comes with a Google bar by default in every screen which is quite useful. That is the one I'm using. That brings up the latest Google voice. Kinda sucks it's not working anymore. I will not be updating the latest Google search. And there's no talk back either.
PS. I know Google search is Google now now. And I'm not using the search bar.

hey everyone
i am currently trying to get the okay google everywhere function to work. i am running a hispasian 4.4.4 rom which works great. i have tried the tricks posted online and i get nothing.
i am running the 3.6.14 version of google now and google play store 4.9
on my google now app it shows okay google detection in the settings and when i click that all i get is the from google search app ( say okay google to start a voice search from the app).
but when i back out of that i have the audio history feature which says required for features such as using ok google to start a voice search from any screen. i have that feature turned on.
i dont know if im doing somethin wrong or if my play store needs to be updated or what?
thanks
- dan
only update is i can set up my voice to record it with the ok google 3x.
the app says its all set after i do that but i cant turn on the feature in the ok google detection. it keeps saying from google search app.
i even updated my play services to the most current that came out on 10/2

I'm running the same version of google now. From the "OK Google" Detection screen, there should be 3 option boxes. Sounds like you only have the 1st one, From Google Search App. You're missing From Any Screen and From Lock Screen. Maybe uninstall and reinstall Voice.
From Any Screen messes up my voice (chipmunk like) in programs like Skype. So it might not be a big loss for you.
