Google Now Intermittent Not Working & Low Volume over BT - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Running latest version with stage fright update & latest Google app.
Audio output from Google Now is muffled & quiet over BT.
Also frequently it won't recognise the Google Now voice command and/or fails to recognise the instruction after opening, sometimes saying cannot connect to Google or words to that effect.
It seems to be rock solid without BT.
I'm sure it was fine before the stage fright update.
Note, this is following a full RUU reinstall/reset, then OTA
Any assistance gratefully received.

Another oddity & probably related.
When adjusting the volume whilst Google Now is saying something, the volume slider is showing the speaker icon instead of the BT which I see with everything else.
Before you ask, yes the audio is definitely coming out of the BT device.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Can anyone please try Google Now over BT and let me know if they get the same issue.
Try asking something like what's the weather tomorrow so there's a reasonable length output to listen to.
Thanks.

Works fine for me.
I'm still on 4.16.401.10 though.

Curiouser & curiouser
When I disable Phone Audio in the BT device & leave just media checked, the output is fine. Tick phone audio again & problem returns.
2 of my devices are giving me this issue
A car unit Pioneer MVH-350BT
A headset Mpow Swift.
My Sony headset SBH52 works just fine.
A bit disappointed that no one else has verified this isuue one way or the other.
Please try.
Thank you.

I'm guessing that's a different issue, maybe try clearing Google App cache and/or data
Please, please can others see if they can replicate the issue. It's driving me nuts.
Thanks.

Is this a new One X problem/issue?

Today my phone, for no known reason is trying to download this "tmm.jpg,ttm.jpg" I cannot not stop the process as yet, this is what I have tried...
1. Long and short pressing the icon (nothing happens)
2. Toggling on and off wifi and network data
3. Restart
4. Turn on and off
5. Stopping all running apps
6. 3 & 4 again
Yet it is still trying to download, I have no idea what tmm.jpg,tmm.jgp is, but, I assume some kind of picture file, maybe something to do with android or the 3 branding on my phone?
I am on 3 network UK and yesterday I upgraded to 1.28.771.9 the latest 3 branded software.
Not only is this problem annoying, but it is killing my battery. Please can someone help I don't want to factory restore if I don't have to.
Here is a screen shot...

Weird, it has finally stopped downloading on its own, after about 2 hours?!! Not sure what it was, but should this happens to anyone else just wait, it takes a long time whatever it is.
Get yourself a good antivirus..u can go for AVG..

I've had that prob a few times in the past and found that going into settings > apps > all > download manager > clear data + cache gets rid of the gremlins
Thanks I'm sure you're post will help others. Fortunatly for me this issue hasn't returned, touch wood.

Yeh useless most malware isn't detected, its only removed when Google pull it don't waste space/power or time in them.

Nothing to do with 3, look's like you went on a website with some sort of virus. If that download has completed, I'd be extremely weary. I recommend Kaspersky or maybe even AVG like mentioned above.
Hi all,
Just installed avast anti virus from the market, it says my phone is virus free so that's a relief.

Can only connect to single BT device.

My truck stereo supports bluetooth audio, and I have a Jawbone Era. My phone auto connects to truck when I get in. If I turn my Era on, it can't connect to phone until I shut truck stereo off. Vice versa as well.
My iPhone 4 could connect to both at same time, and so could my even older blackberry. This allows me to listen to music on on, and take calls on the other if I wish.
How do I enable this on my HOX?
Is this and android limitation, or an HTC limitation?
You can only have one profile active at a time. If your truck and headset both use the handsfree profile, you'll have to turn it off for the truck so you can connect to the headset.
My car only uses the a2dp profile, but when I connect it to my headset too it only uses my car's a2dp and not my headset's a2dp.

Ok that makes sense, thanks.
Can I choose which device gets access to that profile, like on the iPhone, or is it always first come, first serve?

In your bluetooth setting menu next to each device you can long press on an entry and choose options to disable a specific profile.

When I going to blue tooth devices, I see my devices. Long press does nothing, but clicking on the button beside I can see the profiles.

But when I try to unchecked a profile it just tries to connect to using that profile. Long press doesn't seem to work here either. Maybe I have to be connected to the device to disable the profile.
I am on the right track now, thanks.

Oh yeah, sorry long press was Gingerbread

Yep, you have to be conn cted to the device before it will let you disable a profile.
Thanks for the help, all working now.

Ragnarok Online Valkyrie Uprising not working

Is it just me or is anyone having problems getting past the Facebook login page for this game.

In all seriousness, does anybody have an issue logging in with their Facebook account? I can't select either "Cancel" or "OK " from the login screen.

I hella have this problem and I've been unable to get passed it. It's not just on Ragnarok though, it's on every game that has a facebook login. Clicking on the confirm button simply does not work. The only thing to do is hit x to cancel. I still have not figured out a method to fix it, but luckily most games with a facebook login feature also have a google+ login feature, which works fine.

I put this problem few days earlier also .
Yes,
It is LG or Facebook Bug.
No one able to pass through ok-cancle screen
There actually is one solution to getting past the Facebook login page but that would require a Bluetooth mouse which neither I or anybody I know have. :thumbdown:
I've tried contacting the developers for this game but every time I have to reply to their message I have to do so through their website which creates a new message that somebody else answers to. I can't make any progress because I can't get in touch with the same person.

Weird hangout m8 issue???

This is an xpost from the vzw section. Wondering if any other m8s that this same issue....
hey guys/gals
I have a patriotically weird bug that i want to share and see if anyone else can replicate it. I have not been able to reproduce the bug on other devices i have just the M8
I first noticed it when i copied a url from within reddit is fun
(http://imgur.com/8OLeFQM)
thats the link, if i directly share it to a hangout chat there is no issue, however if i copy the url then open hangout to share it once i click on the text field hangout crashes.
Now to see if it was the reddit app i texted that link, rebooted phone, copied the link from txt and the issue returns as soon as i open a hangout chat.
now i have copied and pasted many other links, some do cause hangout to crash some dont, its a VERY odd issue. the only way to get hangout working again is to reboot phone, (force stoping hangout or keyboard does not work)
here is a video of the issue.

Hey I am having the same issue on my Verizon M8. Whenever there is anything copied to the clipboard hangouts will crash as soon as I touch the text box. Were you able to find a solution? I've tried clearing app data and even uninstalled/reinstalled updates for Hangouts but no luck.

Nope, even sent Google hangout team logcats, video of error happening, everything. They still haven't gotten back with me. And unfortunately my m8 met an untimely death so I was forced to move onto the n6... Miss many features of the m8 but don't miss the bugs

Robin: Bluetooth volume either very quite or blasting loud, no middle ground

(fix at end of post)
Problem:
Hello, so this is my biggest annoyance with the Robin, which I have been using for about 6-8 months now (and recently FINALLY was upgraded to N).
My problem is that, with any bluetooth device (speakers, headset, car head unit), there are only two styles of volume. This is likely caused by Bluetooth absolute volume (or synchronized volume). I don't know how to disable this without root.
1-3 is VERY quiet, I can barely hear it at all.
4-10 is VERY LOUD, I can't even wear my headphones and listen to music.
I mean, 1-3 goes from like 1-2dB, and then 4-10 jumps straight to 90-120dB. There is no middle ground, and it doesn't help that every bluetooth device now pairs with the volume control, too. I can't set one setting on my phone and fine-tune the volume on my device like I used to be able to a year or two ago.
I would like to listen to music using my phone again, but this is making it impossible..... I don't want to root this phone as it's a work phone and the stock robin android is very good, so I won't be able to manually adjust volume settings (unless that no longer requires root)
Cheers!
Resolution:
Android N simply switched to absolute Bluetooth volume controls. In the past I only knew how to bypass this with root privileges, however my stock Robin OS now shows a new option in Dev options to manually disable Bluetooth absolute volume. Disabling this fixed all sound issues I was experiencing and increased the quality of bluetooth sound.
