My watch will not respond to any voice commands. When google search is active (red glow around mic) it stays steady and doesn't react to any noise at all. I've checked all settings and even restored the watch to factory. I suppose it's the mic pickup. Any idea where the mic is located on the watch?
The mic should be the small hole at the bottom of the watch.
Are you able to use the "OK Google" to trigger the red mic?

Nope.. nothing triggers the red mic... i believe it's a hardware issue... unless it's an incompatible app on my phone?? i've factory reset the watch a few times..

I just traded up to the rez from my dinc that I held onto all this time. So far I am loving the rez but have run into a few issues.
I use an app called voxer all the time on the dinc. On the rez I am getting complaints that my voice is muffled and playing back audio I can tell it is severely muffled. From my troubleshooting I am thinking that the app is using the noise cancelling mic for main recordings instead of the main mic because when the in call volume is reduced, the recorded mic volume is reduced as well.
If this isn't the issue then I might just have a bad mic but using other apps such as skype, in calls, and google voice all work normally and sound recordings are normal volume.
Anyone use voxer? or willing to try it out and see if they get the same problem I mentioned?
Yes there would appear to be a problem with the app. Using the mic and even a BT headset doesn't seem to work properly. I'm not convinced that it is using the BT mic when I tried it though.
I posted a support issue on their site.
I have not used this app in the past.
also make sure that you have disabled the privacy mode under calls. Its on by default. Helps with muffled voice.
i use voxer too, and i just talk right into the bottom of the phone, and it works fine..

what does voice privacy do, btw?
I tried the voice privacy setting disabled...no difference.
Voxer works, just not loud enough to be usable.
Jay, is your voice volume the same as it would be for skype, google voice, voice recordings? etc?
I think it is.. it sounds it.. i literally talk right into the bottom of the phone tho...
anyone else noticed it always turns the ir sensor on???

What ir sensor?
above the verizon v, under the ear piece.. make a call.. look closely there's a red light on.. that ir sensor determines when to shut off the a teen when your face is near it. It activates with voxer.

Oh you mean the proximity sensor (happens to be done with IR).
That is turned on by the API for any app that is used for calling where you could put your face up to the screen. The proximity sensor senses that you face is there and blanks the screen to prevent your face from activating buttons.
When you end the call, the sensor turns off. Voxer appears to have it on all the time which is kind of strange as i suspect most don't use it close to their face and you have to push the button to talk which is not likely to be close to your face either.
Most likely a bug, and I suspect it does use more power to have it turned on.
One thing I don't like about Voxer and Skype and some of the others is that I many times simply want them off. They don't seem to provide a way of doing that (that I've seen). I rarely use Skype as a result, I freeze it and unfreeze it in the rare cases I actually need to use it.
yep, you're very right. now, with voxer, i literally have to put my mouth next to the bottom mic to be nice and loud...so if that's the bug you're all talkin about,t hen yeah i've got it too.
and heytell has the proximity sensor bug as well..it always stays on.
Just got the HTC one and ran into a bit of a snag.
I have my phone paired with my car stereo and while driving I went into Google Now and said "OK GOOGLE"
This seemed to work and the screen said "Tell Google what to do"
So I tried and nothing happened. Normally, the little microphone thing in the upper left hand corner flashes as it it listening to what you say, but when in my car, it does nothing.
If I unpair my phone from my car, it works perfectly.
It leads me to believe that the phone is wanting to listen to the commands through the bluetooth in my car, but not on the microphone on the phone..
When I had the S4, it worked great, so I am wondering if it's something to do with the fact that the HTC One is still on 4.1, or is it something wonky with HTC's modifications?
Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. Further more, if you try to use the speech recognition (microphone in the keyboard), it does not work either. Afetr turning bluetooth off, both of them work fine.
dont know if you guys have tried this, but if you go into google now settings, theres a section for voice. if you click on that, theres a place where you can enable bluetooth headset.
I just received my LG G Watch in the mail from AT&T. Unfortunately, the microphone is giving me troubles. I used Advanced Wear Visualizer (play store) to see that the mic is not picking up any voice. However, if I make a very loud noise or tap the device it registers. I thought, perhaps, the mic hole on the bottom of the device was clogged. I used a small needle to try and clean it. Afterwards, the mic works properly for a few minutes and then reverts. I can use the needle again to obtain the same result. However, there does not seem to be anything clogging the hole. This one has me stumped. Has anyone run into anything similar?
I was sleepily switching SIM cards and accidentally poked the sim tool into the noise reduction mic.
I'm sure I felt a little click or pop and I'm obviously worried I've damaged something.
Is there any sure fire way to test its definitely working properly other than just making calls?
I pulled up the diagnostics menu but I can't see anything relevant in there to test, is there anything in there perhaps not immediately obvious that could help me see if it's functioning properly?
Thanks!
Well, now I don't feel so stupid for doing the same thing.
Guess we are three.... any findings??

Well either it's an ongoing problem, or there's three stupid people. I'm gonna go with ongoing problem.
Only findings I have is that the phone's function doesn't seem to be impacted at all.
I've not noticed any issues, calls seem to be fine!
I didn't find anything else concrete, just an article somewhere talking about the diagnostics menu where I left a comment. The author came back to me and had also done something similar (it's a real issue! ) and said his was fine and it "probably" hadn't done any lasting damage
Good to know, thanks!

and here is the 5th stupid. :silly:
Yet another. I just did the same on Galaxy E5. A bit worried although nothing seems broken.
A 6th stupid
I did the same too...
Well, fortunately I'm not one of you, stupid people D ) but maybe I have a tip to test the microphone.
Open the voice recorder and set the interview mode (I have set the Italian language on my phone, so I don't know the exact english name of the app and of the function, sorry): using that you can record the voice of two people (one in front of the other) using the 2 microphones, with a visual feed of what mic is recording the sound (you have the visual feed in the play mode, too).
Test it!
Thank for the advise Glaucos, I ran the voice recorder and luckily both microphones appear to be in good order even though I poked the hole of the noice cancellation mic pretty hard.
Hey guys, I'm with the same problem haha, someone poked my mic and I don't know how to check it.
My galaxy A3 2016 has the Samsung Recorder, but I'm unable to change to the interview mode. Any thoughts of another recorder I can download?
Thanks in advance!
Working solution for testing mic (works for both the mics )
Dial *#0283#
This will take you to mic test menu, offering 4 options i.e. rcv_1st mic
Rcv_2nd mic
Earphone
Stop.
Generally second mic is the mic on the top(noise cancellation mic)
Choose the option and speak into it. It will be reapting your sound. If it does then its working else you have damaged it.
Choosing the option channels the mic and speaker into something like mic to speaker system where you speak into mic and hear the same thing out of the speaker at the same time.
I have tested this on my galaxy note 5

Thanks! Worked on my A50 with android 10. Droped the phone to the water and I was unsure if the second mic was working ok.

Sadly if even factory resetting didnt work its most likely either you have something blocking the mic port or its broken, have you dropped it in sand, water, mud/dirt, anything like that and gotten things on the mic? (if you dont know there is a mic on the top of your phone, top left, and bottom right next to the speaker.)
