I've had this odd bug every now and then in which my phone automatically dials itself when it connects to the car. You didn't always know it until you tried to play music or something "Hey Google" related and you had no audio feedback.
This would only happen once every few weeks so it wasn't something I was always watching for. It happened again today and found it is related to Google Voice.
If Google Voice is open and in focus/being used when connecting to vehicle Bluetooth the phone will dial itself. It Google Voice is running in the background or opened after the connection three problem doesn't occur
Can anyone that uses Google Voice have the app open and in focus when it connects to your vehicle and see if you get the same self-dialing error?

I get this at least once a week. At first it freaked me out until I realized that it wasn't really making a call. Now I ignore it. I didn't realize it was related to the app being open.

I have been having a problem with Google Voice Search for the past while.
What is happening is when I activate the Voice Search and speak something like "Navigate to [random store name]" or "Map of [random place]" it just ignores the command part (Navigate/Map). It just searches the non-command part on google in the browser.
Also does not work with "Text", "Call", Dial" or any other command.
I have tried Clearing data/cache, uninstall/reinstall and neither have helped at all.
I have a HTC HeroC with the same setup and version and it works flawlessly.
It is not a timing thing as I can give it a few seconds before talking and it still does this.
While it is processing the command has a spike in the audio, so it is detecting that I said it.
Has anyone else experienced this? and how can I fix it?
Thanks.
I have been reading about Google play and different issues with Google services. I will be receiving the phone tomorrow. Google voice (for the voice-mail and transcribed messages) and Gmail are the only 2 apps from google I care about. Anyone have Google Voice working ?
If so how did you enable it.
Thanks!!
It works ok with play services uninstalled. It never was totally reliable though. About 60% of the time it works, the rest of my calls just go out through the cell provider directly. Also you have to keep it open either manually or with an app as it closes down after a while. On my last android phone it worked at least 90% and it didn't have to be watched constantly.
If you rely on anything google, I would just forget this phone though. It is nearly 2 weeks since the play services update and no word or update from google. Without constant fiddling, my gmail, hangouts, and play store are always broken.
Depends
Depends on your setup. If you are using Gvoice with hangouts, be prepared to be frustrated! If you are using Gvoice stand alone, it will work after a few tries.
Hangouts:
Had it working fine with play services 7.0.9 and Fire OS 3.6.8. I did the manual update to 4.6.1 and it all went to hell.. I gained a bunch of functionality but because I use Gvoice integrated in Hangouts I am constantly having issues. Issues ranging from play services updating all the time and causing notifications, sync and reply to all not work, making it useless.
If you are using Gvoice stand alone, it took me a few tires to get outgoing calls to route through Gvoice.. Download and install the Gvoice app, set it for the call settings you want. I had to do this a couple times before those settings stuck.
Until the play services are fixed this is going to be frustrating. I don't see an end in sight right now seeing as it has been this long and I see no official talk about it.

Well the problem here will be that play services is causing us a lot of problems since the update. Other than that I can't imagine it being a problem. I don't install the Google voice app anymore since I forward the calls and Hangouts does work to make calls from voice number. I can vouch for that.
I got the phone, was able to get google voice installed (had to remove the store afterwards) But it will only show new messages when I open the app, there are no notification.
Is it possible to get notifications ?
Working !!!
Had to re-associate phone with Google voice and then notifications would pop up

I adore the new keyboard functionality of 2.0, but in general my watch has been behaving poorly since the update. I have it paired to a Huawei mediapad m3 8.4 (cellular version)
At all times, notifications seem to come through in a timely fashion. But anything that requires an Internet connection (specifically Google Assistant, voice replies to notifications, and weather) are hit or miss. Half the time they work just fine. Other times they don't.
I've factory reset the watch since the update, with no improvement. Again, at all times notifications come through. But sometimes, anything that requires voice dictation or data fails. At these times, I go into the Android wear app, and it says connected. I can see and even reply to notifications with the keyboard, but if I try to use voice, or the assistant, or query for a weather update, it will tell me disconnected, or couldn't reach Google. Play store updates on watch apps are the same problem.
When I go into the watch settings while observing this bad behavior, under Bluetooth settings, it shows my phones Bluetooth ID, and says disconnected. When it's working properly, it says connected. But in BOTH cases it properly receives notifications, so just the Internet sharing to the watch from the phone seems at issue.
I've done everything short of factory resetting my phone, which I'd rather not do, including clearing data from Google app and clearing data /Uninstalling /reinstalling Android wear on the phone. Does anyone have further suggestions?

Edit: just on a whim, I decided to try Shazam on the watch while assistant, weather, and voice were not working. Even in the "disconnected" state, it could properly identify music. Baffling. Though if Shazam on wear just records the audio, sends it to the phone, and that does the identification, I suppose this follows logic. Still sort of feel like it's specific to Google though.
Hi,
I have Sony 49XD7005. Is it possible to configure Google Assistant in way If I say OK Google, Google Assistant will listening? It is only working through remote and I want it works like Google Home speaker. So I want to plug in microphone into TV and use it as input.
I am working on this. I am using tasker and the join plugin plus ifttt. I can say a phrase to my google home which is always listening this will use ifttt to send a webhook to join on the tv. I can then use tasker to react to this message. I currently have it launch the Google assistant on the tv so I can say the command directly to the tv...ie change channel etc. Sometimes the google assistant bar comes up at the bottom of the screen but it doesn't activate the microphone and hence gets stuck. I am currently looking for a better way of opening Google assistant I have tried with keyevent 219 which is the number for the assistant button but this does not seem to work. I am open to suggestions.

There is also a way for with IFTTT and Webhook, where some json-body is posted to the tv. It's explained in this video on youtu.be/axj45IBkISg
I've tried it, but not managed it.
Maybe someone else can try and give a report here.
I have been looking into this some more. I am using a Google home mini and have linked this to ifttt that sends a join push using webhook service. Tasker then reacts to the join push using the adb shell plugin that executes input keyevent 219. I needed to run this command via adb as it would not work using terminal emulator alone. The downside to this setup is that I first need to say ok google for the Google home to listen then I have to say another command to send the join message and then say the command to the tv. This way works every time and has stopped the assistant bar from freezing as it was with the previous way. The only way to have the tv always listening is to use autovoice but this uses the microphone built into the remote and will not use the usb microphone I have plugged in. I think the problem with this is it will drain the battery in the remote quite quickly. I did use my android phone to send the join message when my phone opened google assistant as it is always listening. The only problem with this is that all my google devices in the room were listening at once causing some errors.
Hello, You have cool ideas to improve Android TV. I have a problem with Philips 49pus6412. I've been using this tv for two years. Until now, I had a USB microphone connected and everything worked beautifully. Now, after selecting the voice function, it only shows "Press the microphone and start talking" and nothing happens. I currently have TPM171E_R.107.001.101.002 The microphone starts working after a factory reset. And it works until I turn off the tv for tens of minutes. Anyone got any idea?
Hi everyone. My nokia 3.2's microphone stops working every now and then. but it doesn't seem to be a normal problem as it works perfectly for my phone calls, everyone can hear me. it just doesn't work when I try to record my voice on applications e.g sending voice message on social media, making voice command with google assistant. it won't work until I restart my phone, then it's fine for a couple of hours, then it stops working. the problem started when I had Android 9, I updated it to Android 10, I even reseted it but none of them has solved the problem. do you think rooting my phone might help?
I would appreciate if you could help me.

I had the very same problem, To fix this go to settings > Google > Account services > Search, Assistant and Voice > Google Assistant > Voice Match and then turn off Hey Google and Delete your voice model if you have one, then restart your Phone. This permanently fixed the issue for me so hopefully it does for you too.
