[Q] Google Now Not Recognising? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anybody else having issues with Google Now's voice feature since today? When I tap the mic button and start speaking, my phone doesn't seem to register that I've said something into the mic.
The ring around the mic icon pulsates as I speak, so it seems like it hears what I'm saying, but nothing happens after that. No confirmation "tone" to register I've said something. It just asks me to tap the mic and speak again.
I know it's not an issue with my mic, as I've made 3-4 calls with no issues today too.
Anyone else experience this? Any help appreciated

***SOLVED***
Never mind all sorted. Uninstalled then reinstalled the latest update and all is good now

[Q] Cannot hear caller

Is anyone else seeing an issue where they frequently can't hear the caller when receiving a call, but the other person can hear you? I'm seeing this very often (almost every call I receive, about 7-8/10), not every call, but most. It never happens on outgoing calls. I've rooted and applied the update.zip to fix the GPS. Come to think of it, I've only noticed it since applying the update.zip. Perhaps undoing that would remedy it. Just thought I'd check if anyone else has seen a similar issue
I know it sounds silly, but are you sure your voice call volume is up? Try pressing the volume up button while in a call to see if that works.
I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes

That was of course, the very first thing I checked. I usually just hang up and immediately call the person back after first explaining that I cannot hear them. Good suggestion, but I'm fairly certain that's not my problem.
Then to be honest, I'm not sure. You may want to try to wipe back to stock, but that is a little extreme.

Just wanted to bump this post, as this happens on almost every call I receive... it's not volume, it's not google voice (which I suspected) because it happens on a direct dial to my cell #... and it happens inconsitently (one call I can't hear, they call back and I can).
The only common denominator is that they can always hear me.
Right now I'm running Trigger 3.2 with Bali 1.8.8uv kernel
Try muting and unmuting when this happens, it may very well solve the issue
sent from the xda app on my android smartphone.
Perhaps a problem with your speaker?
Maybe you have an intermittent problem with your speaker? Although it really doesn't sound like it since you can call back immediately and hear them.
Just a thought. I recently had to replace the back speaker in my phone.

If you can hear them through a headset (not BT for testing purposes) then you have an earpiece issue and should have it (the earpiece) replaced. If your problem does not change with or without a headset then it could be a rom or interfering app issue. I would back up and flash back to stock to see if it still happens. That will tell you what to do from there.

Bluetooth issue

Weird problem. When I get a call, I press to answer the call on my headset then it immediately goes to a female voice that says unknown caller press 1 to answer or 2 to send to voicemail.
Defeats the purpose of Bluetooth if I have to pull the phone out to answer.
Anyone else have this issue?
I called sprint and they said it was htc issue then transferred me to htc and they couldn't figure it out.
I am using a blue ant t1 device.
Thanks!
That would be happening because you synced with Google Voice. Google Voice is intercepting your call and is causing the additional requirement. I think that can be changed in your Google Voice settings if you log in to the actual web app, not the app on the phone. I had the same problem. It was intercepting voice and text. Haven't changed it to use just Google Voice for Voicemail yet.
Bingo!
Sprint couldn't answer...blamed on HTC...HTC couldn't answer said would get back to me in 5 business days...
Come here and BAM!
This site rocks...
Thanks again Skepticalmystic for your help!

[Q] Any way to improve voice dialing?

I can't seem to be able to get voice dialing to work with any consistency. Is this a known issue? And it's not because of an accent, either..
I'd like to be able to place calls through my Bluetooth speakerphone, but 9 out of 10 times, it calls the wrong number, and I have to scramble to hang up. I've pretty much given up on it, but wanted to check to see if I've missed something.
Thanks.

I use Vlingo
It's incredibly accurate and great for "In the car" tasks. Make sure to select car mode in the app and you can call/text/music/nav hands free.
I don't have enough posts to list the market link, so just search it.
Thanks very much for the suggestion. I've installed it and will test out today.

Can't seem to recieve calls with the built in sip for gingerbread.

I put a post up for this and it seems like no one replied. So I am wondering if anyone would be able to help me with this. I have it setup with sipbri it allows me to have my google voice account on sipbri and it lets me make calls but anytime I try to call all I get is my voice mail after it rings so many times. Am I doing something wrong or is it that the recieving calls part doesn't work right on Inferior Human Organs Cyanogen Mod 7.1?
Anybody? Well I actually got it working not sure what the issue was. I have a different rom it is CM7.1.0.1-VM670-BobZhome-111311 and it appears to be working fine. I just had to make a call on the internet call then after that I tried to call the number and I recieved it each time I called it. Seems like I have little to no delay either as people I talk to respond to me fine and can understand me fine.

[Q] Help! No voice call + GPS can't get fix

I just replaced my Verizon S4's camera module. Afterwards no more voice calls. However LTE data and text both work fine. I can also see the signal bars and they are just as strong as before. If I make a call no dial tone no sound but it will say "dialing..." for several seconds before "hanging up". No calls are actually sent to other phones. When someone calls it, phone won't react at all. It's as if the voice call feature is completely gone. Yet sms and data are both fine. Speaker phone, headphone, microphone and vibration also work. Also GPS won't get a fix now - it will keep searching forever until I turn it off. I wonder if it's related to the no-call issue? What part(s) did I accidentally break during the repair process? If I knew what went wrong I can probably find replacement for it. So far everything else works. Please help!
