Microphone/ voice to text not working - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just traded for an Evo 4G 004 model and when I'm texting someone and press the microphone on the keyboard
(htc keyboard)...it doesn't pick up my voice.
However if I use the voice search feature, the phone picks up my voice without any issues.
I'm running Ava's latest Rom of that matters. But highly doubt its a Rom issue because the same thing happened to me on Mikfroyo rom.
So do anyone know if there's a setting or any app I have to down lose for this work...or any other workaround?
***update***
I managed to get it working..it was a setting

Can't find aan answer reprogramming on aosp

I cant find this answer anywhere. But how can I reprogram my phone? Whenever I dial *22899 it seems to work then fails and when I do *228 option 1 it fails as well any ideas?

It also doesn't bring up the normal call screen it brings up the activation screen. I tried putting a different phone.apk in but it did the same thing.

Also ##778 no longer works. I tried putting Epst in system/app but that didnt help anything.
One thing that I have noticed is that when I am running a rom not built on the stock incredible sense like some of the DesireZ or Evo ports ##778 just calls verizon instead of pulling up Epst. Sometimes it just sits there doing nothing. I have also run in to this when using a ported dialer/phone.apk.
And this morning running IncRom 1.2 w/ Viva Cyan 1.2 and CyanDialerDragons, I get FC on Epst. It worked a few days ago on same build. Going to wipe and update my loadout today between shoveling and hope that fixes it again. I only open Epst to double check my DUN before tethering just to make sure all my flashing didn't reset it.
I don't know enough about what is really going on under the hood to help other than that, sorry.
Well thanks for letting me know its an actual problem and not just my phone being dumb. I actually tried to switch back to sense and my phone was being the buggiest ive ever seen so i figured that a sign to stick it out with Aosp.
Just found out if you dial *228,,1 or 2 it works still.
Try *228+

Voice to text issue with 2.3 Gingerbread.

Well, I was having the notorious "voice to text" issue with gingerbread. Not the Google Search issue. That was resolved by uninstalling then reinstalling the app.
I just flashed this mod from the MikMik.com forum. The " Stock_v2.3_HTC_IME_Revert-signed.zip". It instantly fixed the issue and haven't had any problems since. Both on my phone and my wife's.
Just thought I would share this for those of you that have had the same problems as me.

Thank you
Great...thank you.....going to try right now....most annoying thing with my phone recently
OK...spent the last hour over at MikMik and could not find file...Stock_v2.3_HTC_IME_Revert-signed.zip
could post link...
1. Boot into recovery.
2. Wiped cache & dalvik/cache.
3. Flashed zip from sdcard.
Put www in front of the link.

Thanks for the prompt response.....let me ask you...I've read that checking "Personalized Recongnition" in voice input settings will help or fix....have you tried that before...or know....???
I tried everything I could think of. As mentioned in the OP, the voice to text was an independent issue from the Google Search issue. So none of the Google Search solutions work for this problem.
I even unistalled then re-installed the voice search.apk. I noticed that the only time it didn't work was when I was using the keyboard then pressed the voice button. That is what gave me the idea of using a keyboard mod.

Thanks again for the response, advice and tips....I did download and flash the mod....and sorry to say no real difference...other than my only keyboard choice now is the sywipe....which is OK...it works perfectly at home, office and modest sound, but did not work today in the car....not at all...did work when I stopped, like at a light....my main use of the voice to text was "texting or emailing while driving"...ha-ha....apparently I shouldn't do that anyway.....I suppose a "real" fix like a modified mod will come along...by the way I have a Sprint EVO that's rooted with the latest Fresh Rom...hardware version 0003...

I may point out....to give light on this....muted mic background noise theory......I have a blueAnt bluetooth headset with "noise cancellation high" as an option.....in the car, the voice to text works OK with my blueant on....meaning...the"mic" doesn't hear the background noise....the new fancy bluetooth ear pieces work pretty good...

[Q] Voice mail won't play on Bluetooth headset

Had the EPIC 4G touch for a few days now, and I am missing some of the old reliable features from my EVO 4G already.
It seems I cannot get my voice mail app to play back via my blue tooth head set?
Anyone else experiencing this?
I just found my answer after posting... someone else had the same issue, looks like it's a known bug and they are working on a fix. My bad...
Try google voice for now till a fix comes out

I have this problem as well.
Was this supposed to be fixed on the latest OTA update?

[Q] Anyone know of an alternative to Google Voice app?

I use my Google Voice number for texting over wifi, as I am currently in between service providers. The Google Voice app, for me anyways, has become incredibly laggy and sometimes randomly crashes.
Is there some alternative method we can use?
Still looking. I found this project

I know a few people that use txtplus gold, to do txting. Also not sure if u know about grooveip, but it will let you make/recieve phone calls over wifi
Sent from my Synergized Evo with aggressive Freedom using the XDA app
Yeah I have been using grooveip for a while now with success for voice calls. Besides a little bit of echo that I can't get rid of it works great.
Google voice seems to run a little faster when launching it from the widget. For me at the least.

Are you using the regular Google Voice or the Sprint version of it? I had good luck once I used the regular Google and not the Sprint version. Also there is YouVoice that is very similar, but I found it to be slower than Google Voice.
I'm not sure what version I am using. How can you tell?

Any way to get "Sprint" Visual Voicemail on the Gnex???

I have been trying to get a APK that will actually work on the Nexus.
And I have already tried Google Voice and it sucks. I simply want VVM back.
It was simple and all I needed.
Is there an APK that will work on a stock Gnex from Sprint?
Do I have to Root?
I am a total noobie with this phone. Last phone I rooted was a Moment before my EVO 4G.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve
I thought this was the Q&A section??? You should rename it the Q....lol

He's done that already. He (and I) would like to find a modded apk that will work w/ICS or Jelly Bean.

Did you find the vvm.apk? Just install it and it should be fine. What's the issue?

Is this one from CM9 the one that works on the Nexus? http://epicaokp.blogspot.com/2012/05/aokpcm9-fixed-sprint-visual-voicemail.html
I remember getting those notification texts from 9016 on my E4GT. Has that been fixed?
Vvm. Apk does not function. I've installed it 3 times. I get 2 texts from Sprint saying to call some number, but nothing happens.
I am going to attempt to root my phone today..... But I suck at this stuff.... LOL
I simply want the plain old sprint vvm....
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
There was a workaround for the 9016 issue, I think you can blacklist or block that number. I can't remember the exact procedure, but the Heroc guys had it working over a year ago. I switched to Google voice for voicemail and love it, but I know the vvm.apk can work on aosp roms

ALMOST There??
The site you linked to has a working zip for sprint VVM, (although it was a slightly older version, and I got a "404 not found" error, I managed to find it) I got it to flash on cwm touch to BB8 for Gnex... I flashed it, wiped cache and dalvik and ran a fix perm on it... It PROVISIONED! Yay, right?? Nope, while I am recieving 9016 messages now, and even alerts through the app reminding me that my Voice-Text Trial is about over, I still cant get the voicemails to receive and notify through the app...
I sent a vm to the:
activate @ vvm. sprint .com
using the app and that went through just fine...
So does anyone know how to integrate this the right way so that it will really work?
I am not receiving any error messages at all... All others I have tried give some sort of error. This one has not, so I am sure there is something small I am missing...Any takers?
Going to try a Handsfree Activation using the Sprint Diagnostic App I flashed yesterday... Will report back...
I want VVM! LOL
