Using voice recognition for entering text-> Fails - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

For some reason, I am having problems, inconsistently, with entering text via voice. But it's happening more and more.
I use Swype most of the time. Just had it happen. I immediately get this error:
No speech detected. Speak naturally while recording for best results.

So I changed to the Android (AOSP) keyboard (I'm on Liquid Smooth ROM), and I get this error:
Can't open microphone

Any ideas?

Could you tell us some more information? Like have you tried a reflash of the ROM or how long you have been on it? Are you using any custom kernels? That way we can help you better.

Sure.
First, I'll say I'ave had this happen on other ROMS (although I don't remember which)>
I reflashed this ROM within the past two weeks. Complete wipe, and install apps from Play, not restore from TIBU, other than data for 2-3 apps. I did that because of Tasker constantly quitting. Was told to not restore it; install, and import (not restore) data. I might add that Tasker still blows up though.
I am not using custom kernel. Using the kernel that came with the ROM. I'm on LIquid Smooth 2.8.
My impression is that if I reflash, it will quite...for a while. I'd like to figure out what is causing this. Reflashing is becoming old.

So most of the ROMS you have tried said this error message. Did I understand it right?
If you can, can you produce a logcat when you get that error? I personally never done one but maybe that can shed some light on that.
I personally like doing all options possible if I have issues so have you tried going back to stock and trying to replicate this issue? If you can it sounds like a hardware issue with the microphone.

It's not on 'most' ROMS, but it has happened on others. I think I can do a logcat with one of the utilities on my phone. I've done it before at request of some other ROM owners, but then got no response after uploading it. Not sure I can tell much from it.

I'm updating all apps now. Google Search was not on the list to update, so I'm not thinking that will help....Ut-Ohhh...phone just rebooted during app upgrades.
I've been finding this phone to be a bit flaky lately. Fact is, I don't find any ROM I've tried, despite all the praises they get, to not have some issue other. If 4.3 ever gets out, stock, for this SGS3, I think I'll lay off of custom ROMS.
With regard to the microphone being bad...it works fine with Dragon, so the microphone is working.
I may restore an earlier Nandroid backup that was working and see if that works.
I'l post back how it goes.

Ok. I updated all apps, Google search wasn't one of them. It is working, except...one thing I've figure out is that now it does not work if my phone is hooked to any blue tooth device. Not sure what's up with that. I'm going to post in the ROM's Q&A thread about this and see what they say.

Can't recieve messages/calls no matter what ROM I use

I'm rooted and have been for a while. I just switched to Team-Nocturnals_Shoooter_RLS3.1.1 rom. I have a problem where sometimes I can't recieve messages on the stock messaging app, I notice this because I have Gingerbread Ghostly constlantly running and that app recieves the message but not the stock messging app. I also don't recieve calls every once in a while.
The first time I ever noticed this was about a month ago when I was running a Going-Green rom but it only happened when i switched to that Rom, never happened before then. So I upgraded my radio to 2.15.00.08.08 because that Rom ran so smoothly on my phone and wanted to keep it. The problem kept happening so i switched to another Rom and it happened on that one as well.
I've switched between different roms probably 5 to 8 times and I still don't recieve messages or calls sometimes and I don't know how to fix it. A while back, user on here was nice and tried helping me out by telling me it could have to do with Google voice, so i completely deactivated Google voice and its still happening.
I would really appreciate any input and info you may have on this and please help if you can. Also can I downgrade my radio? Would that help? Thanks.
What radio version do you have? The newer radios will not allow you to downgrade. But then again, you wouldn't want to downgrade your radio anyway.
When I had this issue it was because Google Voice completely F'ed my phone. My messaging wouldn't work no matter what ROM I flashed. I ended up fixing the phone by accident as I was unrooting it to take it into the store. Here is a link on what I did with mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18399552&postcount=2
Follow that process and fully unroot your phone back to bone stock. Once you've got it back to bone stock try sending yourself a message and see if it works. If it does then feel free to unroot once again and reflash whatever ROM you wish. If it still doesnt work then, while unrooted, make sure your phone has accepted all of the OTA updates from Sprint and then update your profile. If it STILL doesnt work then give Sprint tech support a call and ask them what the ## code is to reset your phone's network signal. I wrote it down somewhere from when I tried it on mine but I cannot find that damn piece of paper. If NONE of that works for you then you may have to take it into Sprint. Good news though, it's already fully unrooted so you don't have to worry about the risk of the techs denying you.
Let me know if any of this helps.
I just switched to decks gingerbread rom which is the first time I've gone without sense and I've had no problems so far. Could it have to do with sense?

Doubtful it is sense. What rom were you using before?
I doubt it was Sense because I was having the same problem with an AOSP ROM.
I was using a lot of different sense 3.0/3.5 roms like gruesomewolfs Rom, hybrid beta 8.5, sinister Rom, I've tried almost all.

I'm trying synergy non-godmode for the first time now and will see if I have problems with it. It doesn't make any sense to me at all why I keep having these problems.

Call sprint from a secondary phone, tell them that you are getting very delayed text messages and not receiving calls at random. have them update your profile. If that doesnt work have them reprogram your phone. had to reprogram mine when i was receiving text messages 5 hours after they were sent

What do you mean by them reprogramming my phone? Do i need to return to stock and unroot for them to do that or can I use a stock rooted rom?

It's always best to flash each of those separately. Flash the radio and then reboot the phone. Then flash the wimax and reboot the phone. And so on and so on. I flashed one of those all in one packages and I had problems with getting everything set properly. So I did them one by one and they worked flawlessly. I then read, afterwards, that its best to do them individually. I'm not exactly sure why....but that's what has worked best for me and apparently for the majority of other people. So I recommend going back and flashing each of those individually to make sure they all installed correctly.

Camera won't focus- sometimes won't open

Hello,
I've loved this phone since it came out, but just recently my camera started to not focus. Every once in a while it won't open at all. I've tried changing the settings in app, clearing the data under settings>applications, uninstalled and reinstalled. I've even tried a few of the camera apps from the market. Nothing.
I've done a few searches, but seem to only get threads for other phones. Apparently i'm not very good at searching this site. Anyhow, if anybody knows of a fix for this, or can point me in the right direction, I would be extremely grateful. Thanks!

Are you rooted and running a custom ROM?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
If you've tried everything software/ROM related as far as re-installing/flashing I hate to say that it could probably be hardware related and you may need a replacement phone. I had this happen a month ago .. focus was never in place, tried everything, multiple roms, apps, wiping, etc. Turned out it was hardware, the camera board went ka-poot.
My gs2 is rooted and running TDJ's DARKSIDE.UCLE2::[BETA05].
So.... If it is a hardware issue, i'm hoping it is still under warranty. If it is, do you think TMO is going to give me hell for having the phone rooted? Do I need to go back to stock before I go see them?

[Q] [Team VeNuM] JellyBomb JellyBean support...

Hi all,
started this thread for people like me that don't post much, that can't ask questions in the Dev section. Got to get my post counts up, lol! I've been a member on here from when the Samsung Moment came out, so I'm no newb to flashing rom's, etc. ' Just saying'. Been trying to flash TBOMB 5.0 from last night and can't get my phone to boot up for the life of me. It starts, hangs, then it crashes before it's completed. Yes, I did everything I needed to do. LIH firmware, Wipe caches, factory reset, re-downloaded the file (2x) even flashed to complete stock and started over(2x). Still no go. Many are having good luck with this rom, what am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance, for any info that could get me on the right track....
Anyone else needing help with this rom, you're more than welcome to use this thread for questions. :good:
That's weird. Did you reset your counter to 0 (zero) before flashing? I'm not sure if it makes a difference but you can try. I flashed over the leaked version of JB, only wiped caché and data caché. Didn't do any Factory Wipe/Reset because it was not in the instructions. You only need to Reset if you had any problems/issues with the rom. Everything works fine so far. Try those steps and see what happens. But do a nandroid before flashing.
Not to be rude, but are you waiting long enough? I remember reading in that thread after 5 was released that the boot animation was just straight black screen. That after a few minutes of nothing, it boots. Also, 5.1 was released this afternoon. Try that out.

I have been having trouble with trying to switch my lock screen wall paper. Did a dirty flash
of 5.1 over JB 5.0. But this is only on the lock screen. My home screen will change with no problems. Also for some reason I can't open the gallery app. This isn't to big of a deal as I use Quickpic but idk if they are related problems. When I try to use QP to set the wall paper it just asks me to crop the pic and that's it. I am sure I am overlooking something and would appreciate any help. Thanks

Thanks for your response. Yes, I did a counter reset when I went back to stock LI3.
DLed the 5.1 version of the rom after I posted this, flashed my phone, and now I'm good to go.
My phone didn't like something in the 5.0 version of this rom, might have been the kernel, don't think I had 2 bad downloads of this rom(5.0)......
Now I have hands on, the niceness I've been reading about. Thanks to all of you hard working Dev's, that keep our phones going by bringing us all these goodies. :good:

Battery Icon - Signal Icon - Date
I just flashed 5.1 over 4.3 today. Install went great, phone is dramatically faster did great on benchmark.
The issue I am having is that the signal icon, battery icon, ringer icon, time Do not show up right away on reboot. then all of a sudden it will just show up.
This actually happened on 4.3 also. If anyone has any ideas that would be great, and not to wipe and re-flash. I understand that ultimately that may be required but I am not looking at doing that right now.
Thanks.

Yes, this rom is awesome. The only thing I'm having trouble with is wi-fi tethering. I guess with this version of JB it is not possible to run tethering. Anyone else out there?
I called sprint and added wifi hotspots for $10.00 .After they allowed it I went to system update. Updated prn and profile and it works. I hope this helped

Is anyone having issues with setting up the s voice wakeup commands? It's like the microphone is deaf. S voice works with everything else. Just not that. I'm gonna flash 5.1 as soon as it downloads. But just in case it still doesn't works, I'm asking this question.
General Jellybomb install
This might help a couple of you. I install JellyBomb 5.1 yesterday (first rom flash, yay!!) and loving it.
I used Clockwork Recovery. I installed the LIH modem (?) first as they said. Factory reset, wipe, cache and wipe richvishervi (?). Install of the rom itself couldn't have taken more than 20 mins, but I did get a boot animation (I believe it's the boot animation form the international version G3).
The only issue I had was that my google calender wouldn't sync. To get round this I deselected calender from the google account and added a account using Microsoft Exchange with my google details. That was a work around that has worked for me.
I think I also have a problem with wifi tethering but I haven't looked into it properly.
One question I will ask is; I'd like to have the lock screen that has the circular unlock feature but I'm not sure how to get it. Any help would be appreciated.
If anyone is on the fence about installing this rom, I'm VERY happy with it. It's very customizable, it fast and it has been very easy on the battery so far. Well done Josh Beach.

Possible JB Bug: View Type: Alphabetical list

So I've been fighting with Touchwiz force closing quite often since the JB update. I flashed the full official ROM from Telus, as well as 2 other Telus based ROMS, all suffered from the same problem. The only thread I found pertaining to a similar issue is HERE.
Issue:
Touchwiz force-closing (stopping), when creating folders, or moving icons on the homescreen (like to delete them or move them to another homescreen).
In a nutshell, myself and 2 friends all have GS3s. 2 of us were having the issue, myself (rooted) and my friend (unrooted, completely stock), where as another friend (rooted) was not having the issue.
After much hair pulling and testing (3 different ROMS, using different computers and cables to flash, having my device flashed by my friend who was not having the issue), I came to the conclusion that Touchwiz was force closing ONLY when the App Drawer was in "Alpahbetical List" view type. When it was in a "grid" view type, there were no issues.
I was wondering if anyone else could do some testing and let me know if I'm on the right track with this.
I ask that you change your App menu to "Alphabetical List", and use it normally for a few hours or days, and let me know if you see any instances of Touchwiz force closing. If I see enough response, I'll start looking into how to place a bug report on this.
Thanks.
Did you wipe/factory reset? You should not be having issues like that if you did.I don't see any of that.

I wiped, factory reset, cleared caches, etc several times, as well as trying 3 different ROMS like I said.
The only way I could fix it was to clear data from Touchwiz Home. But the issue would still come back after a few hours.
So you are on JB, and are using "Alphabetical list" without issues??
Did you back up system and maybe restored the data wipe titanium by accident? If you have a clean install with nothing restored yet does it do this? If not install back all your apps one by one widget by widget to see what is causing this. Could be an app compatible issue. I tried to replicate your issue and could not at all.

Essentially a clean install, nothing installed or restored with titanium, and the issue was there. I think the only apps I had installed were Chrome browser, Go SMS (or Handcent, I tried them both because I thought maybe one of them was causing the issue), and Facebook. Other than that, I was on a stock rom (rooted).
I was just able to re-create the issue by doing the following:
1) Switch app list view type to "Alphabetical list".
2) Go to task manager, do a "Clear memory"
3) Go to homescreen, grab an icon, as if to remove it from home screen, and let it go.
Touchwiz force closes (Unfortunately, TouchWiz Home has stopped). As soon as I set it back to "Alpahbetical grid", everything works as it should.
Note: I do have a folder in the shortcut area on the homescreen (bottom, next to the Apps button), not sure if this makes a difference, but it usually starts when a folder is created...
I was able to recreate this problem on 2 Telus devices, and 1 stock Rogers device, all running JB.
Followed that and I still unable to recreate this. I also have a folder on mine in dock for email with Gmail and email in it. I am at&t though. Even though I am not sure if it matters.

Hmmmm, interesting. I was thinking of perhaps trying an AT&T based ROM (all I've tried were Telus based, and was able to recreate the bug on a friends Rogers device as well...). Maybe it's Canadian devices only? I did notice that it doesn't seem to be a very widespread issue. Although there was a thread about it, there were very few responses...
I'll see about flashing an AT&T ROM, but for the moment, its working properly in grid view, so I'm good with that.
Thanks for the input though!
I'm not able to reproduce this issue on my SGH-I747M (Rogers) running stock (not rooted) Android 4.1.1.
If you factory reset/wipe data on the stock ROM, configure the phone without installing any third-party apps from the Play Store (heck, don't even bother signing in with a Google account initially for this one), then set the app drawer to alphabetical list and attempt to reproduce the issue as per your earlier steps does it still occur? Just curious.

Thanks for trying it out.
I was actually able to reproduce it on my friends stock Rogers 4.1.1 OS.
I was able to reproduce it with a minimal install of third-party apps (mentioned in another post, I think I had Chrome, Go SMS and Facebook installed...).
Perhaps I'll give it a try if I flash a new ROM anytime soon. Right now, my device is working well, and I only figured out it was the List option causing me the problem after installing a bunch of apps and customizing. Don't feel like resetting right now just to try to reproduce it, lol.
Tested on Rogers Stock 4.1.1 root injected, no issues at all here.

[Q] Random Reboot help, please!

I have a T999V and everytime I try an Android 4.3 rom I get random reboots. It happens most often when I'm in my car, where I listen to music on my stereo via bluetooth, so I can only assume that it has something to do with bluetooth. Everything was fine when I reverted to stock via Odin. I'm using DanKang, but I had the same issue when I flashed CM 10.2. I have logs if someone could tell me how to post them.
Thanks in advance!

To begin, are these roms truly tested or Released for your device ? Also what Kernel are you using ?
Yes, they've been tested and considered stable.

Do note Tested for T999 does not immediately mean tested for T999V.
Also you didn't answer the question on Kernel.

Good point. It's this rom, and I assume whatever kernel comes with it.
DanKang
I've just flashed all of the modems and bootloaders etc for the phone in the hopes that that may help.
Keep in mind that cm roms seem to be known for BT issues. And from what I hear most of the 4.3 cm/aosp roms can be a bit buggy. I still get regular pm's about their problems reading nv data where it appears the imei and other info is lost, when in reality its just not being read.
I'd consider going back to a version that you know to work well for a while.
Or at the very least report your issue in the roms thread to see if anyone directly familiar with it might have an idea for you.
Try a different kernel too. It may be a simple as that for you!

Thank you very much for your help!!!! I'm hoping that you're wrong, but I have a sinking feeling that you're right. I've just reflashed radios etc, so I'll see if that helps. If it doesn't I'll look into another kernel, then I guess it's back to stock if neither works.

I think another Kernel may help. I can safely say Doc is right. The roms are buggy where Bluetooth is concerned. However, it shouldn't make you instant reboot when connecting to bluetooth.
Can you try Slim Rom ?

I know this one is based off of Slim with some minor tweaks, do you think those tweaks could be causing the issues?

Hmm..
I don't know. I went through the Major Changes Dan did to the Rom. There's nothing that jumps at me to suspect the reboots. So may I suggest a different Kernel for you to try ?
While you are at it, Do you want to try a different Modem ? Perhaps the BT/NFC antenna code may be acting up ? Doc's Signature above has the thread with Modems.
Yes! Please do. I will gladly try your suggestions.

Try KT747 Release 10-16. This I am reccomending on the assumption that you are still on DanKang. If not then let me know.
The Kernel comes with a Tweaker App called KTweaker. Leave it alone until you know your reboot problem has gone away.
P. S. - I just realized, your problem only comes in car. Do you know if your phone gets warm when you are listening to music or otherwise using the phone in car ? GSIII variants have a Temperature cut off switch internally. The Phone will reboot if it got too hot. I typically use TempMonitor to check the temperature.
Lots of people have had issues with BT in the car. Almost every time it's due to the manufacturer cutting corners trying to offer features with as little cost. I agree none of this should be causing your reboots. But many use the same Rom/kernel with no such problem, leading me to believe it's either an app or setting and/or how it tries to connect to your car.
You should factory reset, install nothing, and change nothing but your basic initial setup. Now try to connect. If it still crashes, you know it's a problem between the Rom/kernel and stereo. Now try another kernel. If it still happens then I kinda doubt you will solve this using your current Rom. Try stock, just to see if it'll work.

UPDATE: So yesterday I flashed the latest bootloader, modem etc. I've had 2 20+ minute trips in the car connected to bluetooth without a random reboot. I'm not yet calling the issue solved but I'm cautiously optimistic.
THANK YOU for your help!!!!!! I'll report back and try some more of the suggestions if I have any further issues. Once again thank everyone SOOOO much for your help!
