My Google maps navigation seems to to get stuck in loop and repeats the last set of directions over and over the list directions are right just the voice part. I'm on team perfection rom. I've cleared the cache and all but it just keeps happening maybe its from this last Update. Anyone else?

Mine has been working well after the update. Try clearing the data then uninstall, reboot, and reinstall.

Same issue here. Running Only1 base. I have to clear app data every week or it gets stuck repeating the route from the state I was previously working in. The map directions are accurate, but the voice keeps saying to turn on a road from the previous week. Over and over and over again. Crazy.

Why don't you guys use a NAV app that doesn't need data connection? I've been using CoPilot Live Premium and haven't had any problems whatsoever.
Same here
Hi!... same happening here.. Happened with Epsilon ROM... then with WanamLite 12.0 it worked ok for a few days, then it started repeating the route over and over again =((
No solution for this??

Same problem, Galaxy Nexus VZW on JellyBean, was having the issue on ICS as well. Did an uninstall/clear cache...worked for a while, and then started repeating again. Only thing that fixes it temporarily is clearing the app's data.
Happens to me once a week. Go to applications in settings, force stop maps, clear data, and reopen maps/nav. Problem solved. Its getting very annoying though, to do this once or twice a week.

I had the same problem on the Team Perfection ROM, in addition to it not using my Ivona TTS voice or speaking street names. Clearing cache and data didn't help, neither did an uninstall and reinstall from Play. What DID work however, was installing an older version apk I found (which kept FC for some reason), and then updating that version from Play. (Sorry, I don't recall which version it was, but I downloaded it from Aptoide.) After that, everything worked perfectly again. I noticed other people complaining about the same problem in Play's comments section. Really strange, but at least it works again for me.
Settings > Language & input > text to speech output.
Changing this to Pico TTS fixed it for me.
This has been happening on my phone (Verizon Galaxy Nexus on 4.1.1 JB AOKP build 2) on and off for a few months now, it first started happening right before android 4.1 Jellybean was officially announced. *It was at that precise time that the voice for Google Maps Navigation changed to be the same voice that Google Now uses in Jellybean. I remember there was a period of time where I would hear both voices like they hadn't finished converting all of the speech over to the new voice. It's been ever since then but this problem has been happening, I have noticed the clearing cache seems to sometimes stop it from happening only to return again randomly.

I tried that but latter I got the same error. I am guessing that something is corrupting my data, either an app or faulty hardware.
did you uninstall any app by any chance?
Maps issue
Does anyone here know why my stock map flickers and cause force close in stock navigation. I'm on a custom rom and was wondering if it was the rom or the stock map app. Can anyone help, because I love using google map and navigation.

what rom and kernel are you currently using?..The flicker is a issue with some roms..editing the maxlayer overlay build prop helped with alot of people.
Did anybody think to post what version of google maps your using, without it any fix or info is almost useless because it might work for one version but not another (ex// im on 6.14.1 but someone else may not if not updated or running old GApps
Since the OTA Kitkat (4.4.2) update of my stock Verizon Galaxy S4 (SCH-i545), when I use the voice-to-text microphone button (Google voice typing) on the stock Samsung keyboard, it does not pause music played by Play Music or Pandora as it used to. I've been through troubleshooting with Samsung and VZW Support, including:
- Clearing cache for S Voice, Google Voice, Samsung Keyboard
- Testing in Safe Mode
- Performing a hard reset of the device
The music pauses for half a second and resumes with the mic active... not cool when listening to music and want to use voice to answer a text message.
VZW last said they want to discuss replacing the phone, but before I go down that rabbit hole, does anyone have any ideas on what to check or change to fix this?
The same thing happened to me. This used to work fine. My guess is it's software related. Replacing the entire phone seems like overkill.
Let's troubleshoot further. I'll keep you updated on anything I try, and obviously if anything fixes it.
EDIT: Found your follow-up thread here. Seems like an update to Google Search was the culprit.

Follow that thread; bottom of first page. The problem was an update to Google Search (and thus Google Voice input). Current solution is to downgrade to older version, link in that other thread.

Thank you very much.
I had this issue where i sounded like a mouse and you could not understand what i was saying on the other end of a hangouts call. I tried everything to resolve it and it turned out to be the google now (search) settings ok google hotword detection allowing ok google to work from any screen. No clue why, as my sons galaxy nexus has the same setting and it works fine.
Just wanted to post in case anyone else ran into this.

Sure is, but who knows when that will happen

I started a whole other thread on this.
Is not just a Hangouts issue, but it's a Skype and any other video chat issue.
Are you guys on 4.4? This might be it, but since hot word detection on any page was a Kit Kat function.
I tried turning off Google Now, but but I didn't turn off the hot word on any page function. I'll try it and let you know if it's the issue.

Thank you sir. After a week and a half of trouble shooting, you found the answer.
The problem is indeed, and Google Search's new "anytime /any screen" hotword section function..
Go to Google Search, Settings, Voice, Uncheck hotword detection from any screen.
Why this breaks the wifi audio when using a video chat service is a mystery.
I now realize that this wasn't an issue under 4.3, because Hotword detection from any screen is a Kitkat only feature.
I don't know if this a Samsung, possibly or Google Search issue. But I'll submit a ticket to Google under in the play store.
Hopefully, everyone else will too.
I'm on the galaxy s4 from tmobile. I was also having this problem, but I turned off the hotword from any screen and it worked. I first noticed this trying to make a google voice call from hangouts, which is audio only, but it did it with video chats as well. I'll definitely report this.
Thanks for figuring it out!

I can also verify that this fix works. I'm going home for Thanksgiving & we wanted to set it up so the gf and stepson can video chat with me while I'm gone. She was trying to set it up on her PC & having issues, which I've never even tried.
I asked her why she didn't just use her phone like a normal person & she said she'd tried it with her mom & had the high pitched noise. We tried it & confirmed & a Google search brought me here.
I disabled hotword detection from any screen & it went away (she doesn't use it all the time like I do).
This is weird though, because this is the vzw s4 that I used to video with her on her s3 thriugh hangouts before & I've had Google now set to detect from any screen since I could.
Not that I think it matters, but her mom has an s5 & I assume she's got hotword detection off. I'm on the Note 4 & have it on with no issue.
I know the OP is a little old, but I'm wondering if the latest OTA for the s4 has something do to with it? I swear I videoed her from the s4 with detection on.
In any case, after my long rambling, thanks for posting the fix!

Its strictly a kit Kat 4.4 issue. That Google has dropped a serious ball on. But they can care less now, since they are on to lollipop 5.0
Maybe it will be fixed in 5.0
Looks like the issue wasn't fixed in Lollipop either. I'm running Dan's GPE ROM, and I had to disable any-screen hotword detection to return the normal voice.
Hey guys!!
Just got my S6 Edge and loving everything about it so far except...
My Ok Google anywhere isn't working. It's not even presenting me an option to turn it on. Also "enable audio history" option is missing which I know is necessary to get it all working.
I have done a factory reset, enabled and disabled S Voice, primary language English US, and deleted app data etc! I am running a stock Telus Samsunf S edge. I don't know if it's firmware dependent or not.
If anyone can suggest anything else, I'm all ears!!
Thanks in advance!

Looks like they removed it I had it yesterday now it's gone there was a update last night
Ah, that's a shame. At least I'm not the only one!!
Hope they come to their senses and come out with an update to enable it again!
Yep was there yesterday and gone now.
Perhaps it was sucking too much battery? Can't say I really used it that much but it was a cool feature. Will just have to press and hold home button to use it! A bit of a pain!
Found a work around for now...
Using an app called "Now Gesture Tweaks" which allows me to press and hold the home button to activate Voice Search and Nova Launcher gesture "Swipe Up" for Google.
Gives us a similar effect.
voice your disapproval: @S6NoOKGoogle https://twitter.com/S6NoOKGoogle
Don't you guys have "google settings" in your app drawer? All "OK Google" settings are right there.
EDIT: My bad.. deep down to the detection settings, it is gone!! How!? So is this Samsung's fault or Google's fault?
Yup. It's global and it's just all the variants of the S6 & S6 Edge. Some Nexus devices seem to be broken but still have their options.

I used it on a regular daily basis. Very frustrating for them to pull it without notice...
What is even more frustrating is that neither Google or Samsung is taking the heat for this,,,both are referring us to each other LOL,,,classic tactic.

Unfortunately same, not working.
It doesn't work on my Note 2, my wife's S3, and even my coworker's Walmart Alcatel phone alll running Kitkat and all did the latest update.
Its a bigger issue and Google doesn't seem to be too concerned
I got an update yesterday and it is working now, well at least from the homescreen.
Sprint S6 Edge w/Nova Launcher, OK Google works from any screen.
Does the widget need to be on the home screen for it to work

Not for me
Wow, just realized I don't need the widget at all for hotword to work. Cool
supposedly the 5.1.1 update will bring the OK Google functionality back.
Is your S-Voice App activated? Or did you disable that? I've read that either having it on or off might enable OK GOOGLE from any screen to work.

I recently just received my Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and had set everything up but as soon as I update my Google App to the latest version, it force closes. If I go back to the version of the app it came with, then all is well. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?

Yeh my phone was unusable and I couldn't even factory reset through touchwiz, it would just hang on shutting down . I had to hard reset through recovery. Seems alright now.
I also get a lot of fc on google play and other apps shutting down randomly.
