Hi there,
I'm a rather frustrated owner of an I9300 SGS3 (I live in Israel, using the phone on English [US] system language, and the same language on the Google TTS Engine which is the currently enabled TTS Engine).
My phone is running on stock JB4.1.2, unrooted, with Maps 7.3.0. I have an issue with Google Maps. Every time I factory reset the phone, it actually does read street names on its first operation (e.g. "Turn right onto Jerusalem Road", and Google Maps has Hebrew names written in English letters so it actually works).
Then, upon the next operation onwards, it only says "Turn right", "Turn left" etc. I've tried clearing cache and Data for both Maps and Google TTS Engine. I've tried reverting back to the stock version of Maps (didn't work either). Reinstalling the update. Nothing works!
By the way, forgot to mention that - one of the tips I've found over the internet is switching the TTS engine, supposedly changing the narrator but effectively fixing the issue. While I didn't like the idea of switching the voice (I really got used to Google's American narrator), I tried to do that for the sake of fixing the issue, however the voice didn't change at all! And of course the issue persists. When I change it to either Samsung TTS or Ivona (which I had to download), the voice of Google Maps remains the same and the issue persists.

What can I do to fix this issue? Please help me, I'm seriously desperate about it, and I REALLY don't like Waze.
I've done a lot of searching for a solution for this problem. Google maps doesn't read street names. It has nothing to do with the time of day as suggested by other threads. Also, clearing the data/cache and rebooting doesn't solve the issue for me. Changing to Ivonna or another engine does nothing. Maps insists on using the faulty google tts.
I have seen this behavior on Sense 6 Roms including Viper and the ATT Debloated with integrated voicemail into messages.
The problem appears to involve Google TTS because whenever I go into setting/language & keyboard/text to speech I see that the system is stuck on "checking default"
Skydragon Sense 6 on the other hand works fine.
I've been trying to see what the difference is without coming up with a solution.
Have others seen this?
Any fixes?
What language are you trying to use? All but english french and spanish were removed from the one i put out for users...This would explain why no sound with streets if using another language...works with english here with no issues....
Randomly today, I keep getting persistent popups that say Google Play services has stopped and another one involving com.google something about location I believe.
I have not touched my phone hardly at all today, haven't installed anything or changed any settings etc. Have tried rebooting phone, to no avail. Any help? Thanks
I think there was a update to google play services taking it to version 5 in the past day or two, maybe you got a dodgy update or it is conflicting with another app. Maybe try clearing data for play services then reboot the phone.
Thanks for the reply. Tried that to no avail. This is maddening.

Same thing happens to me as well, i can't figure out the cause. the other one is com.google.something.location.service
I am also getting this randomly since the latest Play services update 2-3 days back, mostly for the Dash app.
I been having Google+ force close even if cache and data clear
Having exact same problems. It also removes your Gmail account in back up and reset in settings. Only thing I did to make it stop was uninstall the update and reboot and won't update until google fixs the problem, idiots! I don't understand why they haven't pulled the update or updated the update by now.
Mine pops up every 2-3 seconds. I can't even make calls or text without wanting to throw my Z2 into the East River. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Got my mate 10 pro with vodafone on Friday. Love the phone. Amazing camera and got a great deal.
Problem is the play store! It stops opening and the only way to fix this is to clear the data on the google play store & google play services.
Is this a known problem? Do I need to wait for an update or should i factory restart. Once it works again after the data is cleared after a very short while it stops opening again. Pressing on the icon simply does nothing.

Hi, this seems to be an individual issue as my Mate 10 Pro works in the Play Store with no problems. Factory reset may be helpful.

try close all wifi and cell data .. then force close the google play store then clear cash and data then disable so it will ask you to reset to old version press yes .
then also do it with google play services .
after that remove your google account email for google , then open the store and re put your google email and i think it will work fine
ended up doing a full reset which was not really fun but hey it worked..

Either you allow the phone to control this automatically, or you can do it manually: the latter possibility is the one I turned on as I wanted to have the control over the apps. Apparently, this was a bad choice as it stopped the apps from getting the information from the internet?
After I switched it back to completely automatic, all apps were working normally again. This is something that Huawei should address as I don't believe this should happen .
This fixed the issue for me.
Thanks!

Yeah. I set Gmail to manual and it stopped receiving emails. Which is weird as it should do the exact same things if you enable all in manual. Switching to manual fixed it.
And another issue is Last pass, it gets killed after a while if Launch is set to auto. I set it to manual and its been kept alive for the whole day.
Hi all:
I'm trying to get Assistant voice typing and Auto punctuation to work on my new Pixel 6. Both options are greyed out in Gboard settings right now. Is anyone else seeing this behavior, or is it working correctly for you?
did you train voice assistant to recognise your voice?

I got the exact same problem where on my son's phone this works
Update, got it enabled now and it works with multiple languages. Since I'm from Germany I have German and English enabled. I don't know what exactly was the trigger, but I played around with language, language settings and offline languages, re-configured everything, re-downloaded languages and so on in assistant settings. The problem must be somewhere there. Maybe someone finds the exact spot
I really want someone to get back to me, as I have the same issue with my phone. I will try the google assistant training first

Yes, the voice is already trained.
I'm having the same issue. Out of curiosity, for anybody having the problem, do you have a work profile set up on your phone? I know that with my Pixel 4, some of the new Google Assistant settings were unusable when I added my work account because my employer didn't have some setting enabled in Google Workspace.
I'm wondering if this is related to the same thing. I haven't gotten around to removing that account to see if that clears up the issue yet. I can report when I have time to try that.
Edit: That does appear to the culprit for me. As soon as I deleted my work account, I was able to activate that setting.
So far after re-adding my account, it's stayed enabled, but we'll see... If this is the culprit, I believe it's likely related to this:
Turn Search and Assistant on or off for users - Google Workspace Admin Help
Google Assistant is not available for managed Chromebooks. As an administrator, you can control who uses Google Search and Assistant services with their Google Account. Just turn the service on or of
support.google.com
Thank you brc64! I don't have a work profile set up on the phone, but I did have one work Google account and one Google account from a non-profit I volunteer for on here. I removed the non-profit Google account and the options became available. I, too, added the account back, and both Assistant voice typing and Automatic Punctuation are still enabled.
I haven't gotten it to work yet. Figures I'd run into this! Have us English set everywhere only and downloaded us offline English. Hopefully I'll be able to sort it out! Of all the silly things that's not enabled by default when we turn on voice typing... Thanks Google
Update: I think it might actually be server side change or from an app update. I updated all my apps and it started working shortly thereafter.
I tried all the solutions listed but nothing worked. What fixed it for me was to force stop Gboard. Clear cache. Then select uninstall updates. Let's Google play store update it. Then repeat the same with Google app (force stop, clear cache, uninstall updates then update.) Initially had to force stop Gboard again then open and that's it, boom it worked. Hopefully this helps.

Is it working for you in both languages? Because I'm bilingual as well and although I can switch the toggle, the true assistant voice typing is only working in English. When I switch to German, it uses the old voice typing method. You can tell the difference by the icon the little microphone has. The assistant voice typing has the newer logo.
It's something on the server side. I was on the phone with them yesterday for 90 minutes trying to get the problem resolved, then this morning some type of download came through and it was fixed. Fixed. Just be patient and you'll get it resolved. As a matter of fact, I'm using the service right now
I concur with the server side assumption. I finally got it to work, when I revmoved a second language both from Gboard and the assistant. But since I need to be able to switch to English regularly, this was too much of a hassle, so I reactivated the second language. This took me back to the regular voice input and grayed out the option for the assistant for voice typing.
I did not change anything since then, but I just found, that I now could switch on Assitant voice typing again and it works with multiple languages at once. There have been some auto updates over the play store this morning, so this might have to do with this.
Try to update all apps in your Play Store profile. If this does not help, I guess patience is all that can.

In my case I am running German (Germany) and English (US)
I can confirm this is caused by multiple language, and specifically it is in your google voice assitant setting.

Unfortunately I did not. It works fine in English, but no shot getting it to work in German when I have both languages in my assistant, the phone and the Gboard turned on.
Mine just stopped working this week without me doing anything. It's greyed out.
