Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere in this sub-forum. I did a search and nothing turned out. So, I just got the OGP and have been extremely happy with it. Tried Google Now voice search, and while it has no problem recognizing my speech and giving me answers, it will not speak back to me. I have language set to English and Speech Output set to Always Speak. Apps volume is set all the way up too. Will anyone here have any suggestions to solve this issue? Thank you in advance.
Anyone?

I guess it depends on what u asked I tried a few things. Only got the webpages without a response. I said "talk to me" and Google voice talked to me. Try it and see if that works for u.

Thanks. At what point did you say "talk to me"? My wife's Galaxy S2 talks back with any simple question (like "what is the capital of Illinois?") The OGP just shows the answer and the map. I set Google Now to always speak back (and the app volume is up), so I am trying to figure out why it's not working. It's a bummer.

I don't know excatly. My guess is that it might has to do with lg software not fully working with all the Google now features? And I said it like after 3 tries.

You have to make sure your phone's sound is on. It will not work in Vibrate Mode, even if you have app sounds on and Speech Output set to Always Speak. Just tested and it worked with ringer turned on, but not when set to Vibrate.
Phone sound is on. Google Now speech output is set to Always Speak. Media volume is all the way up. Still, zippo, nada.
Worst part. My wife keeps on egging me that her two-year old S2 does it, and my "big and fancy-schmancy" G Pro does not.
You need to turn the System Volume up, not media volume.

Hi, this is hard to describe with out the sound file, but basically my phone when turning on plays a sound at random, it lasts for about 1sec and has 4 syllables if you get my meaning a bit like 1 ...2-3-4 or Do De-dah-Do (this isn't a silly post I promise XD)
At first I thought it was a few programs I installed, someone told me it could the the THD pinball game, un-installed that but it is still there.
Has anyone else encountered a "similar" issue? It interrupts some programs or games and is very annoying and its beinging to drive me insane; at one point I thought it was malware or a virus so I McAfee scanned it in case (maybe there are other better alts but please suggest).
Oh, I will also add when this happens when looking at desktop the top menu bar sometimes goes green.
Any ideas? Please save my sanity.
kind regards

Hello, don't know if it will help but green flashing bar looks like a phone call notification ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674783
I remembered to hear some strange sound and i recognized your Do De-dah-Do
but can't remember how i solved the problem ... or even if it solved itself ... sorry.
Instead of "random" you wanted to say "sporadic". Sound is still the same "tone" ?

Hi, yes I would probably say more sporadic than anything else and yes this sound is always the same, I never notice this in call though so I have no idea which app is trying to notify me; its notifying me to uninstall it when I find out what it is!

By turning on, do you mean unlock the device or turn it on after being turned fully off?

When I unlock the device, so its already on and then the sound at "some" point will start maybe 2-3 times then stop. Its so random I cant even pin point it. When in opera, desktop and other apps this sound will appear and cause mayhem.

Silly question... Do you have the Zelda Gate of Time Live Wallpaper installed?

Yep, had a look, cant really see anything. The randomness is the problem here; hence why its hard to isolate it...

Yeah, it's strange. I know it'll take awhile but it might be a good idea to look at any/all recently installed Apps and look at their Permissions. See if any of them say anything about making alerts, then force close them if they do and see if the issue persists.

Does it by any chance happen when your phone is sitting over your wallet?
I was getting the same sound randomly and drove me nuts. Then realized that it's the NFC kicking in when the phone is near my "blink" chipped credit card.
i'm sure i read a post exactly like this and it turned out it was nfc, make sure it's turned off and see if it continues.
Nfc or perhaps the roaming sound is on?

Sorry for late reply and thank you so much for your input.
Yes people, it is the NFC! The phone resides in a wallet and my works id card on the other side. When I read the phone I fold the cover over and hence this sound. Do I feel stupid? Yes 100% I only hope that maybe some people can learn from my inherent stupidity and thus the madness that was slowly but surely setting in.
This is very annoying. Anyone know how to disable the don't turn the volume up to loud notice.

Before I give you the longer work around, I found this info:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...tle-sound-warning-when-increasing-volume.html
"I went into music settings and checkmarked the option to set all songs to the same volume. Now when I increase the volume, the warning message doesn't come up at all, and I can increase volume to the maximum if I want. Finally, I've been trying to fix this problem for ages, and I know others are experiencing this as well! Try this out and give me a shout if it works for you."
Try tweaking that setting in the stock music app.
If that doesn't work for you, you'll have to install the Xposed Framework and enable a module which can disable the setting.

This is in regards to the Galaxy S IV, but it will work for the S III, too.
Thanks for the help
hi to all,
i search everywhere and i flashed the phone around 15 times, just to see if its a rom problem.
i try all the cloudy'S stock rom but still the same.
so when i receive or i make a CALL i hear very well but the other person can't hear me,
to make it working i must activate the speaker option to communicate with the other person.
But as many people write here when we activate the speaker the second mic is activated but the lower mic is also in
good reception so maybe i must change something, somewhere???
please help me,thanks to all
Mine too... used to only be first call second would work... although now it is almost every call for me.
BTW, I have never had problems with bluetooth calls!
Although bluetooth works, it does not seem to be a hardware mic issue (like a dirty mic as some suggest), seems to be a codec bug. I'm pretty sure of it because I have call recording on my phone and my recorded voice (that no one can hear on my first call) is distorted like it is down converting my voice to only 4-12kbps.
I hope the ZVE update with HD voice will place a new codec in the phone dumping the buggy one.
Deciding to update to latest ZVE version to give it a try.... will try and let you know if it worked.
I've actually started having this problem as well, but I have never touched the software on the phone. Bone stock. I wonder if there is some systemic hardware issue with the mic.

Fyi I factory reset my phone and it seems to have fixed the mic. Heavy price to pay for a non-rooted phone but at least my phone works as a phone again.

Nothing yet my friend?
Your software appears different than mine. Is yours stock? If not, would you be willing to TOT back to stock to test if the issue remains?
I've tried it with s voice both on and off. when I first turn it on after a reboot, it doesn't train the voice model, but it says it's on but doesn't work. It then turns itself off, and trying to turn it on results in the voice model training opening , then saying it completed successfully, then turning its self back off.
Help?
No one else has experienced this?

If you read the original post, it says I've tried with s voice and without
This really isn't unique to Lollipop, as it does this exact thing on mine which is still on kitkat. Sometimes I will hear the tone acknowledging the ok google, but will immediately hear another tone. Often the screen doesn't even turn on. Even more often it just never works, although it works pretty perfectly with the screen on.
It has nothing to do with disabling svoice, although it probably is related to Samsung's implementation of svoice. Once in a while, thE phone will fail to even acknowledge an ok google request, only to sometime later say, "if you're trying to say something I didn't get that." This seems to imply the microphone is locked in the listen position, but isn't working.
So I just recently flashed a build of DU to my phone and when I say 'Hey Google' the phone vibrates to prompt me that the command was understood and it is ready to listen. On stock it always would beep instead of vibrating when I did this. I prefer the beep cause if I am not near my phone I know it is ready for a command. Is there anyway to change this? I've looked through all the settings I can think of and can't seem to find anything to change it. I'm probably just overlooking it. Thanks in advance!
If you turn on any accessibility option in setting you will get it back. Sadly this is the direction google has gone with assistant. There are huge threads on this since you can't tell if the phone is ready if you don't look at it (like in your car). Many people are irritated by this and google has pretty much told us all to take a jump.
