[Q] New Google Voice Search App/Widget Not Installing - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After reading about Google's new Voice Actions app and widget, I tried downloading each of them from the market, but I was met with "installation unsuccessful" both times. I even uninstalled the voice search app already on my phone and retried, but it still wouldn't take. I'm running KaosFroyo v27. Has anyone successfully installed these apps?
I apparently can't post a link since this is my first post, but the info and market links are on the google blog.
For what its worth, Chrome to Phone seems to working perfectly.
Thanks

[Q] Still can't find "Google Voice Search"

My "market" still doesn't find "Google Voice Search" on my x10a.
I am running xxx26. Please see my trials and tribulations in my first post : hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792510.
The strange thing is that at an intermediate point (when I was on xxx23) I found it and installed it and it worked great.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I am not seeing it in the market either. hmmm odd I have it for my iphone most perplexing.

Thanks for the link. Working fine.
Seems like Google have removed all web pages that featured Google Voice Search because they are now pushing Google Voice Actions which of course doesn't work on the x10 thanks to SE.

[Q] Market Web Installs never start downloading.

Market web installs from "market android com" never start. ('m not allowed to post links)
Under "My Devices" in the settings page it shows my Atrix, It has a "Registered on" date (today) but it doesn't have a "Last Used" date (it shows a dash).
I have followed all the suggestions on the help page. (log in, log out)
My Market App version is 2.3.2.
Google Talk works. The Market App works. Clearing Data and Cache for the Market doesn't help any.
I'm signed in with a regular Google account. (not an apps account)
Any suggestions?
This might sound obvious, but have you tried restarting it or resetting it?
Yep. Lots of restarts.
Does the market work on anyone else's Atrix or is it just me?
I read somewhere that if you open Google Talk and sign out then sign back in, it should get the market web installs working because of a communication problem.

Yeah, that's on the help page. Didn't work.
Empty market cache, and uninstall market upgrades (if any). Had the same problem before with other phones, I do not think this is atrix specific.
Getting the market to upgrade afterwards required some manual steps as well. Too lazy to look that up now though, just google it.

I emptied the cache and uninstalled updates. On the first launch I got the old market, on the second launch it had upgraded back to the new one. I also tried a reboot. Still doesn't work. Good idea though, thanks.
Bump! Any fixes for this? I'm having the same issues. The Market web store even lists my phone being last used on Feb 25 (the last day it was pushing app downloads from my computer). However, when I download apps from my phone, it shows up on my account online.

I thought I was having this same problem, but I was in battery saver mode and had auto-sync disabled. After re-enabling it, the downloads just began automatically.
I had the same issues at first and tried all th above fixes and the ones on the google help page. nothing worked at first. i waited a few hours and tried downloading again and everything worked fine. i can't really explain how but it just started working.
I have had this problem for 5 days =/ Now I just chrome to phone the link and open it with market =/ I have done all the above, contacted Google and posted at Motorola Site. Nothing works.
Darn I am having the same issue. Just got my Atrix an hour or two ago...so we will see what happens. I'll try and keep you updated.
Edit: Mine just started working, so I don't know what the problem with yours is. Hope you get it worked out.
I have same problem here with my Hd2 DFT android Rom maket works fine but it never start downloading any apps :/ please some help ??!!
Do you have apps/the market to update only on wifi? And you haven't opened the apps to have them generate an, "I'm here", marker for the market to send you stuff, when you were hooked up to wifi?
I wondered the same thing...
Good news guys Google talk was not working for me so I re flashed my phone and reconfigure it now Google talk work and market too I don't know if it will works for you but for me it working great now hope it help a bit

Port 5228
This may not help everyone, but I ran into this same problem.
Each day, my downloads weren't sent to my phone and my gmail wasn't pushing consistently, but by the time I got home, everything seemed to be working again. I noticed that I was also unable to log into google talk on my office's wifi (which seems to be the key to getting everything else to work). A coworker with a samsung android phone was having the same problem.
We worked with our network administrator to unblock certain ports on the wifi firewall. We finally resolved this issue by opening port 5228. Now everything is pushing correctly. See if this port is blocked on your wifi.
The weird thing that kept throwing me off is that even if I switched off wifi and used ATT, it was still having problems for a period of time.

How did you get Google voice working? When I install it, I go through the setup process, and when I get to the section about setting up voicemail (which obviously won't work) I get an error.
I believe the choices on the error are "cancel" (which let's you try again, to no avail obviously) or "skip". When I press skip, it just dumps me back to the same page of the setup I'm on (voicemail), but both the back and forward buttons are greyed out...
Now, the funny thing is that Google Voice is now running! If I get a text, it pops up in the notification bar. But if I want to go into Google Voice manually and write a text, I can't because I can't get past the setup process...very annoying.
I also use Google Voice on a real phone (HTC Magic on t-Mobile) using the same Google account....would that make a difference?
someone did a mod to the voice .apk, I don't remember which forum I got it from. I will put it on my dropbox and post the link here in a few. The modified .apk allows you to skip the phone settings part where you got stuck.
update:
I didn't think I would find it this quick on my computer. I uninstalled google voice then reinstalled using this one and it works like a champ

Thanks, that worked perfectly! I wasn't able to uninstall the old version (said it was a system app, not uninstallable), so I installed the new one right on top of the old one, no trouble.
You can also just upgrade to the current Google Voice in the market. The skip button works fine in it.

[Q] HELP! Market crash on my Live With Walkman

I have a Live with Walkman (WT19i) that recently has been rooted. I use original live Walkman ROM (gingerbread 2.3.4 build number 4.0.2.A.0.58).
I'm not using any custom ROM, just this original, and never faced any problem at all. The problem started when I found a patch of Google play store on a forum. The steps was to put the apk into the system and change the permission. I guessed I already do the right steps, and then rebooted my phone. But after that, whenever I tried to open the Market, there was an error message 'com.android.vending has stopped working'. I tried to clear data and cache but no luck. I tried to install a lot of different Play Store apk but still the same. after I tried several times, the market opened but when I tried to download, the error popped up again. I cleared data and cache several times. succeeded in open the market again. But when the market told me to agree to the ToS with my email, it FC again.
I got frustrated and then I tried Reset Factory. It wiped all my data, and the worst is after the Reset Factory, I couldn't find the 'market'. It's really made me frustrated. Then I found a similar problem with me at this forum [http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...-com-android-vending-has-stopped-unexpe.html] which tell me to install those apk one by one. The Market is for HTC phone, but it works for me until now. The application stays as 'Market' not "Play Store", I can open and download the apps from there, BUT maybe because the server of that Market is from India (while I'm from Indonesia), sometimes when I browsing/downloading, it took several minutes to loading. AND ALSO whenever I tried to open Paid Applications from market, I got that 'com.android.vending' error message again.
Then I realized that at the very beginning of this Market version, it does asked me to agree with ToS of Market, BUT without a detail of my email, only the agree sentence (While in the Play Store, it comes with current email, right?).
And then I also realized that some applications with my registered email in my phone, such as YouTube has a problem I never faced before this Market problem. When the YouTube ask me to Sign in with my email, I put it in and after that the YouTube FC. I reopen it, and an error appears like this 'an error occurred'. But the YouTube still opened, just that error appears every time I open YouTube.
So I realize that maybe something is wrong with my email in my phone. It is like this:
- The actual Play Store ask to agree with ToS with the email stored on my phone, but it suddenly FC. While my current Market (HTC version) didn't comes with email at the beginning of ToS and doesn't FC.
- Before I got this Market problem, my YouTube always signed in without problem. But now, that 'an error occurred' message always popped up every time I open YouTube but it doesn't FC.
- I realized that when we open a Paid Application from market, it needs our email detail which I think that trigger the error of my market again since it related with email.
BUT there is no error in my Gmail application in my phone. It sync messages like usual. That is I don't know why,
And one thing. For now, whenever I tried to install a Play Store apk, it never succeeded. It always ended "Application not installed".
Only this HTC version of market that I got from that forum could be installed. I don't know why.
I'm really confused right now because I don't know what to do with this since I used my original ROM. I've searched several forum including XDA, but there are only with custom ROM which I'm afraid I couldn't touch it with my original ROM and beside I don't really know much about this kind of problem, only the basic knowledge for rooted phone users. Please help mo to resolve this problem because I really love my phone so much and want it works without problem...
Please help and thank you very much before..
Anyone please..?

Perhaps you should try posting your questions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2054
Since you wiped your data, flash a ftf file with flashtool. It should work, as it has never failed me.

Help! Latest Google Now / Google App crashes

Hi,
I installed the latest Google App / Google Now Search which was released last week (I think) on my Verizon Galaxy s4. When I go into Google Now now, I can say, "OK Google" and it begins to listen for my voice as usual. I can say something (it doesn't really matter what command I issue) like "What time is it in New York City?" and then it correctly prints out my words on the screen, and then beeps as if it's ready to go do the search or execute the command.
Then it crashes.
Every time, all the time. I've cleared data, I've force-stopped the app, I've rebooted, and even uninstalled the update to prove that it worked before the update. It did.
Any thoughts or suggestions from anyone? Thank you!
Lots of bugs in the new Google search and gnl. I haven't updated. If you have tibu you can maybe roll back or search around for older versions.
Also 406 shout out.

I may have to try that... I actually uninstalled and went back to version 1 and the search worked again. But then when I would do something like look at Google Maps and click the Navigation icon, it says "no application for this command." Whatever.
I did notice the Voice Search app itself works just fine. I can't just get it to work when I launch it via "Ok Google."
406 Shout out to you, too! In BZN here.

I just checked and I am on GNL 1.1.0.~
And Google search 3.6.16~
I also have Xposed GEL settings installed. I have no problems with hot word detection (from homescreen) or search results showing up, it even works over Bluetooth.

So I updated and hated it. Even before the last update I was having a hard time having ok Google pull up map(app) results. So I was looking to reverse the update with Titanium Backup. No luck there, it will only restore data.
This worked though - go to app manager, go over to all apps, select both Google app and Google Now Launcher and "uninstall updates". GNL will throw an error about Google search when you do this. I then went to the play store and updated ONLY the Google now Launcher, and left the Google app unupdated. Everything is back to normal!
"Ok Google" works, I have app results in my searches, I have the transparent backgrounds in the search bar and app drawer as well.
