WhoWhoo I (TEMPORARILY) fixed my Bluetooth Voice Dialing on JB - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I'm on MeanBean (not sure how this applies to other ROMS).
It was failing 99.99% of the time over Bluetooth.
I just tried uninstalling Google Search with Titanium Backup.
Then Reinstalling from Google Play Store.
Still Broken.
Then I Cleared Data on Google Search, Rebooted to recovery and Cleared Cache (thinking some BAD learned data might be the cache).
BINGO It works perfect OVER Bluetooth now.
I don't know if it was the, clear data, reboot or the clear cache but these steps absolutely fixed it.
Uninstall With Titanium Backup.
Install from Market.
Go to Apps and Clear Data (again this might clear corrupt learned data).
Boot to recovery, Clear Cache.
Reboot
I tried 5 names that would COMPLETELY fail before.
I can't say if this will stick for good, but it looks promising.
That's it.
Read Posts below...

Wait !!!
It stopped working.
I swear it worked perfectly !!! for 5 minutes.
I put the phone down to write this post.
Picked it up and said the SAME names and now they completely miss.
I wonder if it rebuild the bogus lookup table or something again.

Yeah, the Google Now voice dialing is pretty poor.
Apparently moving the app from a system app to a data app should give you the option of using either GNow or the stock Voice Dialer (at least it did on ICS). Is the stock Voice Dialer included in the build?
My device is bricked currently, so I can't check/test.

I don't think the old search is included but that might allow a 3rd party app to work.
Sorry to hear about your bricking.

Well at least I found a pattern...
More Info...
It's the clear cache that momentarily fixes it.
Works every time.
Reboot to Recovery
Clear Cache
Reboot
Voice Dial Over Bluetooth Works every time using say 3 different names.
Wait a minute and then it will fail with the SAME names no matter how many times I say it.
This is STRICTLY Bluetooth. Handset works fine.
My guess is when I reboot with cleared cache, it skips using the optimized search database. Because it always pauses when it works after I say the name.
I think the search database is somehow only compatible with the handset.
Once the search database is built the Bluetooth then uses it and fails from there on.
Clearing Data or Cache from the Apps Settings seems to have no effect. But clearing cache from Recovery does. It might be that when I do it from recovery there is an implicit reboot too. But Force Close, Clear Data, Clear Cache will not bring it back.

[Q] Google Voice notifications don't work

I'm running a Rezound with the latest leak's radios, etc., and CleanROM Pro 4.5. For some odd reason, I can no longer get notifications from Google Voice. I have to open the app to see if anyone's called me or left a message. Anyone got any idea what's going on?
I had this happen once on my Eris...
Go to Settings > Apps > Google Voice, then clear data and clear cache. Then reboot the phone. I always go to recovery at this point and erase the cache partition and wipe the Dalvik cache.
After you reboot the phone back into your ROM, you will have to open up Google Voice and set it up again and redo all your preferences, but it should accept push notifications after this.
I've seen alot of people having problems with Google voice on CleanROM.

I've got the same problem. In order to get my texts, I have to go into my app and refresh. This makes it seem like the sync isn't working or something. I followed these steps and had no luck.

[Q] What is causing process.gapps to stop?

For the life of me, I cannot figure out what is causing com.google.process.gapps to stop. I have narrowed it down to it being triggered when it syncs internet data through Accounts and Sync.

Ok i found out how he did it. You will have to go into the browser settings and clear cache, cookies, passwords etc. Then u have to go to settings - application manager and click on All. Then scroll down to google services framework. Click on it and then clear data. I rebooted afterwords for good measure. I was able to sync internet sucessfully without a force close. But i think this issue is being caused by some random setting that we are setting. If anyone finds out the source of this issue, please post.

The phones don't ship with google processes failing so what are you guys doing to the phone? If you have rooted the phone and tinkered with roms you have to flash the rom then flash the most updated gapps package for your phone or you will get force closes.
Also, you can fix force closing of google processes by booting into CWR and clearing dalvik cache as this forces ICS to rebuild symlinks and other databases for your apks....

My current rom and config is shown in my signature. I am thinking that it starts force closing when i start making changes to default settings in settings menus relating to browser/internet because if I uncheck sync internet from accounts and sync, it will not crash anymore. But when I recheck it, it crashes upon sync. But again, i am not sure which exact setting is causing it. That's all I am doing. I will try clearing dalvik cache and see if it persists. Also, another issue is that i am using TiBackup and freezing google movies and books. When I reboot the phone, they magically re-appear.

It did this error for me right out of the box once I synced my gmail account. Maybe it's something held over from some other phone that I've had?

ok... The plot thickens. lol did you restore ANY google apps using Titanium backup? if you did thats a big no no. Factory reset will probably set you right up. You can also reset dalvik cache as well.

Interesting... you may have some google app settings that are interfereing with ICS from other gingerbread or ICS roms... try factory resetting and then uncheck anything that says restore apps or account settings when setting up your phone and that should eliminate the issue. Report back as I am really curious
No i did not restore gapps with tb. When i do a restore, i do restore missing apps. Being that gapps are preinstalled, it would not restore using this option. I wiped dalvik cache as advised above. Then made changes to browser default settings and it hasnt fc yet.

Bump. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Update: Wiping dalvik cache appears to have permanently solved the problem. However, it still remains a mystery as to what actually caused this.
I disabled "sync internet" in my Google and Samsung accounts and the gapps problem is gone. I don't even know what sync Internet does but my guess is that was the problem.

As i stated in one of my first posts...that i figured out that sync internet triggers the crash. What sync internet does is it syncs favorites and browser settings. I use chrome on my pc, browser on tablet and browser on my phone and sync my favorites across all three.

[Help!] Restoring from Titanium Backup breaks some GCM push notifications

As the title states, I was wondering if anyone out there happens to know why restoring an app+data from Titanium Backup after a Factory Reset causes Push Messages (GCM I believe) to stop working. It seems fairly obvious that when restoring an app+app data from a previous installation, they get confused and the push messages aren't being delivered to the right place.
So far the only solution that I've found to the problem is to wipe the app's data, and restart from scratch.
I've done a lot of Google searching, and I have seen that there are a handful of other people who have had this same problem, but I have yet to see anyone come up with a working solution, though there have been a few things I've tried. This is my normal procedure I do when I upgrade/flash a new rom:
Code:
-Backup with Titanium Backup
-Backup with GO Backup
-Nandroid with TWRP
-Factory Reset
-Flash ROM
-Wipe Cache/Dalvik
-Boot
-Sign into Google Account
-Install Titanium Backup
-Restore previous Android ID
-Reboot
-Use Titanium Backup to restore Apps+AppData, as well as some system settings
-Reboot
At this point, some of my GCM push notifications don't work. The only way I can get them to work again is to wipe the app's data and start from scratch. I have tried the following things, none of which worked, but they might provide helpful information.
Code:
-Wiped the app data, restored the app data by itself again.
-Uninstalled the app, installed from Google Play, restored app data.
-Used Application Manager to disable notifications, then re-enabled.
-Went into the app's settings to disable notifications, then re-enabled.
-Cleared data on Google Services Framework
-Removed Google Account, cleared data on Google Services Framework, rebooted.
[B] (This actually had an even worse side effect of re-breaking GCM push
notifications for all of the apps I had fixed by hand)[/B]
At this point I'm at a loss, I'm not sure what else to try. It kind of looks like the Google Account/GSF is related to GCM. I don't remember exactly, but I think I tried restoring the previous GSF App+Data on my most recent flash, and it still didn't work.
Anyways, I'm kind of rambling, if anyone is able to provide any insight or help, it would be greatly appreciated!
----------------------------------------------------------
In case anyone is interested, here's some lists of the affected/unaffected apps.
It DOES affect the following:
Code:
Accuweather
American Express
Bejeweled
CBS Sports
Chase
Facebook
Messenger (FB)
Reddit News
Waze
XDA app
It does NOT affect the following:
Code:
Gmail
Google Now
Hangouts
PushBullet
Yahoo! Mail
try to restore only data on titanium backup, not restore app&data
Don't forget to hit THANKS button
I've tried that way, but it didn't work either
Bump for a new day D:
Would love help on this, I have the exact same problem...
I've had this problem for a long, long time (a year or two). If there's a solution, I haven't seen it yet.
Glad that I am not the only one.
Add me to the annoyance list.
I can't figure out how to get SSG2 to notify me, and that's not an app I want to clear data on as it will lose my level saves.
Voxer also has this problem.
Interestingly enough, the Risk style game LandRule has a way to refresh the Google sync services and it works perfectly.
Multiplayer->Notifications->Having trouble...->Refresh Registration.
Very handy tool to have available, need to find a way to spread to other apps!
Try removing and re-adding your Google account. After trying a few things, this either fixed it for me, or was just coincidental timing.
I do see that you tried this... but do it without clearing GSF data.
So glad I found this!
I had been researching why Voxer lost GCM notifications, with no luck and getting frustrated. Eventually stumbled across this thread and problem solved. Back story: two days ago I flashed a factory image and restored user apps & data from TiB. Never would have guessed that any thing to do with GCM "breaking". But sure enough after reading this, I cleared data in Voxer and all is well.
God bless XDA for all the little things like this. Couldn't own a phone without it.
We could really use some type of GCM interface to relink or whatever, if that's possible. Maybe even TiB would be a great vehicle for that?
OK I'm confused. So this problem is not solved?
Solved my particular problem with Voxer by clearing data. Problem with it breaking to begin with not solved.

So, interesting update for folks in this thread.
My push notifications in SSG have finally been fixed with the latest update.
Now I don't know if it's because something in the update fixed it or because the act of updating from the Playstore re-synced with you/Google.
Will be interesting to check next time I flash a ROM and start from scratch. Will certainly be keeping an older version of the apk to update from if needed
Had the same issue. Lost all push notifications from Whatsapp and other gcm-enabled apps after flashing to CM11 and restoring apps+data with Titanium Backup. Finally tried using the Push Notifications Fixer (root version) app and all of a sudden, my Whatsapp notifications are coming in fine. Not sure if the app really fixed the issue or if it was just a coincidence..

[APP][2.2+][ROOT][FREE][12-SEP-2013] Push Notifications Fixer v4.1
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Anybody else having luck with that app?
Doesn't do anything for me, tried activating service, changing to 5min and resetting to default but doesn't fix push notifications from Voxer, SSG2 or LandRule...
Anything I'm doing wrong?
I'm using the latest version of TiB and my push notifications never work after a restore. Ive been manually reinstalling any apps that send me notifications after trying everything else others in here have tried. Basically TiB is only saving my WiFis for me these days. Subscribed for a fix!
Has anyone tried backing up and restoring app data with nandroid backups and apps that handle them, instead of TiBu? OBackup, ROM Manager are a couple of apps I believe do this.
What I did is backup app+data but reinstalled from PlayStore and opened up app to where it asked you to login and then goto TiB and restored Data and it worked for me!
I wish best to luck to everyone!
Also having the same issue but I've restored so many apps that I don't know which ones, other than the obvious messengers and the like, use GCM and might have it broken. I did at least figure out that deleting the app data (or uninstalling/reinstalling from the Play Store in my case) fixes the problem on an app by app basis.
A thought occurred to me but I haven't tried it myself... Has anyone tried restoring an app while using SuperSU? I seem to recall Titanium prompting that normal SU isn't very good and should be changed for optimal results but I've always ignored it. Maybe it's affecting that part of the restore.
---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 PM ----------
Tested my own theory with Voxer and it didn't help.
for me "Push Notifications Fixer" didn't resolve the problem with Whatsapp and UppTalk. To re-enable notifications and not lose data I do this:
1) delete AppData
2) open the App
3) login
4) restore AppData
like badboytw suggested above...

How does an app identify my phone?

So there's this app I like using called whisper.
Occasionally it would have this bug that made it unusable. The only way to fix it was to clear cache, delete all the folders it creates(it creates a folder on the root of your phone where it stores your account data[I'm assuming]), and reinstall.
Recently I got this bug again and I can't fix it. And I'm positive it has to do with the fact that it's my phone as it works perfectly on everyone else's phone and on emulators.
So what I'm saying is if I completely wiped and factory reset my phone I'm sure it would work again. But doing that and setting everything back up is extremely annoying. I want to delete all previous traces of this app on my phone so I could do a completely clean install and hopeful solve the bug.
Almost like a targeted factory reset. So in the eyes of the app my phone would be completely new.
I've tried almost everything including wiping my ART cache to deep searching my root for the app name and deleting all the folders returned to changing my device I.D. and IMEI
tldr; How to delete all previous traces of a specific app, almost simulating a factory reset as far as the specific app is concerned.

Question Android Auto suddenly unable to execute Google Voice commands - results in "oops, something went wrong"

Suddenly my Pixel 6 running Android 13 can no long use Google Voice. I have tried 2 different cars, 3 different USB cords, clearing cache and data, uninstalling and reinstalling the Android Auto App. All with no luck. About the only thing left I can think to do is factory reset. I hate to go to that extreme, but I drive a lot and need a functioning Android Auto.
Android Auto lets me answer calls. (It may actually be the car that is doing that). Any attempt to read incoming messages, ask directions, text a contact, ask a question, or place a call come back with "Oops, something has gone wrong, try again later". Once unplugged from the vehicle, everything works fine.
Do you have Ad Guard or some sort of adblocker installed?
I had the same problem and had to disable it for android auto, assistent, google apps and all other google apps I could find.
Problem solved

No ad blocker installed.
Another odd thing is this: On the Android Auto screen, You Tube Music is now at the top. I do not use it. I use Pandora instead. This is really strange.
You can disable YouTube Music on your mobile, it won't show up or in Android Auto select what should be on the screen.
As for your initial problem, this is not really related to the Pixel 6, the problem is related to the Google Assistant and the Google App.
Cheers
Yes, I suspected as much.
You should check your internet connection is working fine, update the Google Voice and Android Auto app, also make sure that DND is not enabled.

Perhaps using the beta versions of Google Play services, Google app and Android auto fixes the issue you're encountering. And make sure that all permissions are enabled aswell.
Ps : the beta versions can be downloaded from apkmirror.
Ended up having to factory reset the phone to fix this.
