So I have an interesting problem. Whenever I use voice button on gboard, (on my 9 pro) intermittently, it won't recognize my voice unless I speak INCREDIBLY loudly. It's incredibly annoying because I'll be speaking a paragraph, and it just stops randomly recording midway through it.
My theory is that it might be a microphone volume problem. I've come to this conclusion because I have an S21 ultra, and it NEVER ever does that. On my Ultra, it picks up my voice smoothly throughout the entire paragraph.
I've tried normal gboard and gboard beta. Has anyone else encountered this problem and found a way to fix?
(I've checked everything. I have background data on, and set the battery to 'not optimize'. I don't have any special battery saving apps that could be causing issues. Usage access and all relevant permissions has been granted for voice dictation).
Working just fine

Say two paragraphs, with about a 4 second pause in between. Please make a video and upload here so I can see. Hitting the voice button multiple times is okay.
I tried this and for me it is working with normal pauses. I am not gonna make a video, sorry.

I'm sorry I'm having trouble believing you. (I don't mean that in a bad way)
Are you rooted, do you have any audio mods?
I am rooted and have no audio mods.
If you do not believe me that is fine.
Maybe someone else can test it for you.
I never use this function, but today I have tried it specifically for you.
Talked around 3 -4 minutes and it was dictating just fine. When I was finished talking I noticed that the keyboard was still listening for quite some time.
Maybe my voice is a little bit louder, but I did not have to raise my voice.
On OP9, happens to me but when it does it will type out the first word and then it will stop recording. Not sure why it does this

This is EXACTLY what I was talking about. It does this to me constantly.
This never happens to me on my S21 ultra.
I'm wondering if there's a way to increase microphone volume for voice dictation.
Does anybody know an ADB command to accomplish this?

Same issue here. It doesn't happen always, but it happens frequently enough to be annoying. Just the first word and then it stops.
Mine does the same thing. Super annoying.

Just got a pixel 2 xl and one of the features I was most excited about was Now Playing, unfortunately I can't find it anywhere in settings>Sounds>Advanced settings, any idea what could be wrong?
Settings, Security, lock screen preferences then it should be in there

Thanks for the quick reply, I got it ,I had to install pixel ambient services from play store but now I've another issue, now playing isn't working, I've tried turning it on and off and on and even rebooting my phone but nothing, tried with many songs but doesn't recognize any, any one else faced similar issue?

It's glitchy at best. Works sometimes for me and takes a long time to recognize a song. Much more of a novelty item
For me works well with commercial music. If I listen the sort of music I like best.. Nothing. Not surprised there though.
I hope they'll be adding songs to the database and make it more useful.

Well, it takes quite a while to recognize a song, and it can range from several seconds to even minutes. I wouldn't rely on it being able to pick up every song out there, especially at low volumes or loud environments that can make it harder for the device to recognize songs. Also, you might want to make sure that you're not covering the microphone and that your microphone works perfectly fine.
It was working for me, but it has since stopped. I think it happened when Google issued the November update. Looks like they might have broken something.

Tis a poor feature. Only recognises very famous songs. The sort of songs you already know the name of!
Plus, Google Hates Christmas. 1 in 3 Christmas songs don't show up.

Many users facing this problem. Even me, After enable now playing feature it's not working properly. But after uninstall Words With Friends 2 game, it's work like a charm.
I don't know if this is just me but I cant seem to get this damn feature to work. I've trained my voice to this thing a hundred times and still it won't recognize it. I have to say it 3 or 4 times and finally, once I scream it, it might work. I look like a damn fool. Is this how it's supposed to work? By the time it does work, I could have picked the phone up and done what i was asking manually. What about when youre driving, you ask?
More than not, in the unlikely event that it will work, the phone remains locked until I enter my password. I've set the unlock-by-voice to "on" and still it will never work. What's the point if I'm driving and when it finally does recognize me, I have to pick it up and unlock it?
Has anyone else had these issues?
I'm left thinking that if Google was really pushing Google Assistant as the next big thing, they've got A LOT of work to do.
Nah. It even recognize my voice in noisy room. Although not every command would heard perfectly if its too noisy. But in a normal siatuation, it pick up 95-99% of my command and do it properly

Never had an issue with the Assistant. Works in 98% of cases. Could it be that the microphone on the phone is defect?
I don't think so. It seems like once it's woken up, it acts better. The super annoying part is when the phone hears me but requires me to input my unlock code. why wouldn't it just wake up?

"hey goooogo" "Hey! Ok!" Lol
Also using "Hey Google" which works a treat, by passes lock screen, and has a sweet voice!
I have the same problem. Sometimes it takes forever to activate, and sometimes it doesn't listen when it does. I'm also having constant gps issues. May rma soon

You have to go into Google Now>Settings>Devices>Phone>Unlock With Voice Match
That should take care of the issue.

Wait seriously? I thought we were poking fun at the Italian grandmother trying to talk to the Google home...well, glad it worked for you lol.
PS if you don't know what I'm talking about, look it up on YouTube.
I'm posting this thread as I need your help to figure out if all OnePlus 5T devices are affected by the issue:
When listening to music I started to hear some audio crackling and sounds especially when the screen was off. I started to investigate and tried different ROMs, firmware etc. but they all had the same issue. I even sent an RMA request and my device was "repaired" while still no being fixed. Then I started testing it on another OnePlus 5T and the issue was there too. So I'm starting to wonder if this is a bigger issue.
Short Issue Description:
Whenever the fingerprint sensor is active, the audio wave skips a few milliseconds which you can hear as a clicking noise.
Testing:
0) Make sure to have your fingerprint enabled in settings and do the following:
1) Best to use a sine wave generator (these fancy beep sounds) like on: http://onlinetonegenerator.com/
2) Start playing it via loudspeaker or wired(!) headphones and listen to it.
3) Lock your screen while keep playing it and unlock it with your fingerprint.
4) Start pressing the fingerprint sensor multiple times for at least 20 to 30 seconds. Do it quick and softly or hold it on the sensor for a second and start pressing it again.
>> Do you hear any distortion or unusual sounds despite the on-going beep?
I made a quick video of this issue showing that the audio output stops for a few milliseconds which leads to this issue. It is not just when unlocking the phone but sometimes when it's locked too. Pressing the fingerprint scanner just makes it easily reproducible.
(quality is bad I know, I just needed to film this quite quickly)
Do you consider this as something that's bothering? I'm in the office right now and can't test it.

It definitely is. You can notice it while simply listening to music. Pressing the fingerprint sensor just makes it easily reproducible. Test whenever you can

Thanks. Will check and see if it bothers me while listening to music if it's really an issue that is also happening on my device.

I'm just interested if more devices are affected. Please note that you have to use wired headphones as Bluetooth headphones aren't affected.
Yes!
I am able to reproduce the same. I had always heard the breaks, but have always thought it was something with the audio or network quality, but this!
I also found (a long time ago) that the cpu briefly boosts to 2.4GHz when tapping the fingerprint sensor. I don't know if it's related to OP's problem, just something I noticed; it may very well be because of 1+'s stock kernel.
Also on the YT app, when tapping or swiping on the fingerpring sensor soemthing similar to what OP said happend, but it's the video that freezes and not the audio.

Which firmware/ROM are you using? I've contacted OnePlus about this but after an RMA where they updated OOS they simply said it's fine. Now they want me to send it in again which is bs considering it's not just my device

Same here on Omnirom Pie. Probably all devices are afected by this issue
Anyone here ever have the issue where when you activate GA after a while, it sits with the animation like it's waiting for you to say something but does nothing even when you talk?
The way around is to close it and reopen but it's annoying that it doesn't work every time on first try.

I had this when I used active edge to activate the Assistant, appeared but did not hear me talking. If I said "Ok google" or used the button on bottom it worked.
If that's the same for you, in settings for active edge disable and enable the assistant feature and it should start working again.
Hello,
I have been struggling recently to answer or reject calls when given the swipe up or down option.
When its unlocked and I get the tap to answer or reject as a notification its fine.
I'm just wondering if anyone else had a similar issue or had found a fix.
I'm on the official firmware, running 8.1.0
I've experienced something similar too. Sometimes I find myself swiping over and over again just to get one call answered or rejecte I have no idea why it does that, or when, it seems to be random on mine
I have to swipe upp exactly(?) 3 times to answer a call from the lock screen.
Also running official ROM 8.1, no root or mods so far.
Have only had the phone for a few weeks, so don't know what is normal.
Otherwise it seems to work very well.
I've found you can swipe down from the top of the screen and can answer it from the notification menu instead.
Just takes longer.

Just after having written the above, the phone corrected itself.
Now I can answer calls on the first swipe.
Interesting . . .
Sometimes my phone will let me answer normally. most of the time however I have to use the notification bar.
I have been having this issue since the very beginning. I even changed to the google phone app and jt still does that. Its because of the framerate. I think. Its very hard to test because uts vey inconsistent.
Yup, been having the same issue. Stock phone, no root. What's frustrating is there as no further updates.

I had display set to 90Hz for no particular reason, have now tested having it set to 60Hz, and I have been able to answer every call directly with one swipe .
Of course I don't get so many calls to this sim card I have in it now, but previously it hardly worked at all
So the problem might welll be connected to the display refresh rate for some reason.

What i did is i added the google dialer app to my phone, then to game booster and set its fps to 40. Now i can answer the calls.
