Ever since the Jelly Bean update the Google Voice function has been intermittently unavailable. If I keep canceling it out and opening it back up eventually it works. I did a factory reset and it didn't help. No one has posted about the issue so I wondered am I the only one? And is there a fix for it? Thanks, Jeff.
Note: Sometimes if I wait long enough the error that pops up says server unavailable.
App is called "Voice Search" by Google Inc and is version 2.1.4
You need to download "google search" that is google now. Both should be downloaded and in tts settings should be set to whatever you use. I use ivona because it sounds much better like a real voice.

Also every portion of the phone needs to be set to US english... the google now settings, tts settings, and the keyboard i believe....
It's not either of those. It's installed already and set up correctly. I even have english downloaded for offline use. I forgot to mention I'm all stock touchwiz never rooted, so there's no excuse for this issue. I don't know if the JellyBean data Keis put on my phone was corrupted somehow, or if everyone else has this issue but found a solution. That said does anyone have this problem or just me?

Well not everything gets spoken, but try to duplicate the issue again.... Ask it the same question over and over... ask it what time is it, it always reads that... then ask it who is the president of the united states, or what is the date.... all of those get read back... see if stumbles, and report back, and also report have u tried any resets or anything... stock jb?
I think I figured it out. My Smart Keyboard wants to use the voice and so did Google Voice Typing, so I unchecked the one I don't use and for the last minute I've had no issue. It will be a few days before I can be sure but I usually have this problem pretty frequently.

It's just "do a barrel roll." Unless saying google is supposed to open search for me.

Saying google while in google now makes it listen...
I was wrong about figuring this out by un-checking one of the voice keyboards in the keyboard menu. That solution worked out of coincidence.
I found that I could fix it every time I restarted; then I found I could go into airplane mode and back out to fix it; then I tried all the things airplane mode affected and found that I could turn off Bluetooth and it would work, and when I turned on Bluetooth it would stop working. I found this while sitting in my car which connects my Bluetooth to the radio and a microphone above my head. I will try to narrow the problem down further to see if any other Bluetooth situations cause the issue, and I will report back.
I've the the problem with bluetooth as well, but I literally just started experiencing the issue without bluetooth enabled about 5 minutes ago. No matter what I do Google can't connect to the server.

Ugh don't tell me that, I've even finally rooted this thing and tried roms but they still had the issue. Now the only other solution is to set in on fire and push it down a hill....That's how we had to deal with Yeller as well

Turns out it's something with my router's configuration. When I disabled wifi on the phone it started working. Anyone have any ideas what router settings might interfere with Google's voice recognition?
---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
Okay, after some Googling I setup port forwarding for port 19294 and now it's working. Not sure why this new router is blocking that port as none of the others I've used ever have...
I am experiencing this issue as well. At home on wifi, google voice comes on right away and listens. On the road (in the car and with bluetooth on) it keeps saying initializing. Today I will try voice recognition in the car with bluetooth turned off and will report back.

Hey Guys,
Google Now has been crashing recently. Specifically, when Google play launches a google search, it crashes. For instance, when I ask a question by voice, I hear Google Now answer the question partially, but before the Google search results below load, the app crashes.
Is anyone else having this problem? Do you possibly know how I can fix it?
<Deleted>
Just noticed this myself on my Nexus 7, but works OK on GNex both running trinity kernel..
same issue
I'm having this problem as well with my Nexus 7. I'm not sure what's wrong with it. it's just so frustrating. I tried to download the offline language pack but still didnt work. Like u said no other post online available for this solution yet. Wondering if many people get this.
However one thing did happen, my nexus 7 ran out of batt and turned off by itself. I then plugged it into a power source and turned it on. I run an app and suddenly some blur screen like the TV tuned out came on and all i can hear is some buzzing sound. then i plugged off the power and i charged it again and everything was alright apart from the Google Now thing!!!!!
when the batt ran out, all the memories seems to be wiped out... such as time and date.. seems strange when they built such high tech stuff and they do not have memories to keep track of time and date?!
i really hope this gets resolved soon
Working fine here, GSM.

sometimes chrome seems to be acting weird.. i get blurry screens and the page doesnt load. i had to restart and it would be fine again...

hey, try clearing the data/cache in chrome. and sign in again. then try loading google search again. I'm assuming it's the problem with chrome rather than google search itself.

Hi!
Thanks for reply.
Anyway I "fixed" the problem with Google Now by changing my phone from yakju to takju
Thanks.
Regards.
does anyone else have this problem? I have the language pack enabled. I've tried it with and without personalized recognition. just doesn't seem to work. It happens when I'm online or offline randomly it seems.
If I'm using voice to text it will just show the microphone and just get to a picture of a microphone, never turns red, never says tap to talk.
same thing for me

I noticed the same problem and read somewhere that you can download the "offline speech recognition" language pack to see some improvement. That didn't work for me but so far what seems to be working is changing the setting for "Choose input languages" by deselecting "Automatic" and selecting "English (US)" only. Not sure if this will fix the problem in the long term but for now it seems a lot more spiffy.

I've been having this same issue, but it only seems to happen when my phone is docked with Bluetooth on. I thought it possibly might be something to do with the phone trying to enable the Hands Free Profile for the voice input, but that's just a wild guess at this point. It comes right up when the phone is undocked/bluetooth off.

Solved!
Still no fix coming from Google, but at least one nice guy made a temp fix while they do it.
Look for "Voice Command" app on Google Play. Developer's name is IT-DEV-CROWD or code(dot)google(dot)com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42178#c37
It worked for me, after trying a lot of different configurations.
Google search is no longer speaking results back to me! It was fine yesterday?
I did have 'speak to it assistant' installed. But i uninstalled it... yesterday.
I have re-installed 'assistant', but still get no voice from google search.. i do get voice from 'assistant'
I've looked in settings & it says 'speech output - always speak'
Anyone had a similar problem before
Do you have selected a voice in settings - text-to-speach?

Although i've also just noticed (yesterday evening) that the little mic icon has disappeared from my keyboard!
Apparently they both need an internet connection to work.. although i DO have a good connection (wi-fi & 3G)
The mic icon DID re-appear this morning as i began to type out an email, but disappeared as i was typing?!?
It's normally over the fullstop..

Just tried google search, and it's working again.. she just told me that tomorrow morning will be cold

What color are you signal bars? Grey = No connection to Google, Blue = Connection to Google
Try clearing data for the Google Framework
Signal bars are blue both on wifi and on data with good signal. I just tried clearing Google Services Framework... No go still unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestion however.

I will try refreshing Gapps when I get a chance but the thing that has me puzzled is why my stock rooted N7 is doing the same thing. I can't help but think it is an issue with my account or something. I haven't changed any settings recently that I know of. if it was just a Gapps issue I would have thought it would be isolated to just my SGS3. It isn't likely a location issue as my Wife's tablet is working fine.... Definitely confused...

And all of these are connected to your WiFi?
Remove and Re-add your google account on the affected devices.
Just to try I added my wife's account into Google now and tried voice searching with her account from my N7 and it didn't work either. It works from her tablet. I think this means it is not a ROM issue but rather a settings or similar issue. I will try a Gapps refresh later to see what happens. If anyone else has experienced this regardless of whether there is a fix I'd be curious to know. if others have I may submit it to Google. if it is just a weird issue for me I'd rather try working through it.

I've been having this problem too with an HTC One on a Sense-based custom ROM, and a HTC Evo 4G LTE both stock and custom. I've found better success uninstalling the updates to the Google Search app though it's still slower than it used to be. Some more people have talked about it here... http://forums.androidcentral.com/go...-google-moment-while-online-voice-typing.html
Doesn't seem like there's much of a solution or acknowledgment by Google that there's a problem.
I fixed the issue!! On a hunch I decided to delete my Google account from the phone completely. I then booted to recovery and cleared cache and dalvik. Rebooted and added my Google account back in... it is now working as it used to. If anyone else is having the issue I would recommend trying this and see if it helps you as well.
Almost forgot but I'd really like to thank everyone who contributed ideas and thoughts!
I just verified this fixed my N7 as well!
Thanks

My impression from searches on Google's forums is that this is a fairly prevalent problem. I don't know what causes it, but I've seen it on S4s, too. I just wanted to add that, anecdotally, I tried clearing the cache (though not dalvik) and removing the Google account, to no avail; however, I found a much simpler solution:
Settings, My Device, Language and input
Change Voice recognizer from Google to something else (in my case Samsung powered by Vlingo)
(Optional) Change Voice recognizer back to Google
This resolved the issue for me, please let me know if it works for others (I don't need a thumbs-up or anything, I'm honestly just curious if it's that simple and we're making it out to be more difficult.)

Sounds like you app is having a problem with the securing of teh tunnel.
Could be any number of reasons.
NAT Translation, packet changes.
You might want to check out there support
I do not have that issue but I use to have problems with wifi assistant blocking open wifi networks as the open networks would connect but show no internet connection so I just learned to not use the wifi assistant at all.
I first reported this to Google when the Pixel was released. I spoke with them again today. After a rather lengthy call, the tech finally said that he was aware of my initial call, but that it is difficult for them to fix because it is "very uncommon". Happens to me every time the Assistant is connected.

I had reported my issue also and verizon got google on the phone with us and just discussed what the issue was and said they would get back with me but did they ? Answer is of course not nothing ever back and that was back in early November.
Yeah their cs sucks. I even upgraded to a 128 xl and had same issue on it and back then my open wifi would not work at all would connect but list no internet and the sign in accept screen for all the open networks the phones would not load them fully to hit accept.
Up until about a month ago I could not get any open wifi to work at all and still have issues at times and I have to hit forget network and re add sometimes even multiple times and even turn on or off wifi assistant and turn wifi on and off and even toggle airplane mode numerous times. And all these times my Unlocked Htc 10 would work great on the same open wifi networks.
And the stupid thing was these pixel xls always worked great on wifi networks that require a password, go figure they try to add more protection and just lock us out from using open networks so we have to use our data plans yeah verizon likes that part lol more money for them lol.

I had reported my issue also and verizon got google on the phone with us and just discussed what the issue was and said they would get back with me but did they ? Answer is of course not nothing ever back and that was back in early November.
Yeah their cs sucks. I even upgraded to a 128 xl and had same issue on it and back then my open wifi would not work at all would connect but list no internet and the sign in accept screen for all the open networks the phones would not load them fully to hit accept.
Up until about a month ago I could not get any open wifi to work at all and still have issues at times and I have to hit forget network and re add sometimes even multiple times and even turn on or off wifi assistant and turn wifi on and off and even toggle airplane mode numerous times. And all these times my Unlocked Htc 10 would work great on the same open wifi networks.
And the stupid thing was these pixel xls always worked great on wifi networks that require a password, go figure they try to add more protection and just lock us out from using open networks so we have to use our data plans yeah verizon likes that part lol more money for them lol.

I did some reading back when I first got a Nexus 6P, and it stated that the secure assistant feature will keep you from using unsecured networks that have low reception or strength. I don't know of the legitimacy of this, and the only reason I researched it was because I had the issue of connected but no internet. I idea I walked away with was that the connection was not good enough for the VPN to actually do it's job? When I don't use the Secure Assistant on the network(I work at a hospital), the connection often drops off or I often get the sit and wait for things to load issue.

Hey have you ever tried Blue mail or type mail ? I have tried most including Aquamail and Blue mail and Type mail seem to be some of the best, they are some of the very few apps that have a lot of downloads and have a 4.6 and 4.7 rating. I just thought you might have an interest, if not and if you are happy with that app more power to ya
