Google Maps navigation voice stops working...PLEASE help - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, guys this is really a big issue for me and i have no clue what can be causing this problem.
I am currently running SlimSaber Latest 4.4.4: 20150810 http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/development-derivatives/rom-slimsaber-i9100-t2350201
But have also had this problem on ResurrectionRemix lolipop, dont remember the exact version i had installed at that time.
I have tried to change the TTS from Pico to Google text to speech and Ivona..no luck, the navigation voices will just stop working sooner or later for no apparent reason, i will hear a "ding" sound instead of any voice guidance.
If i "clear data" for Google Maps, sometimes, not all the time, the problem will get fixed temporarily..but will appear again in no time.
I have tried reinstalling Google Maps, reinstalling the TTS, changing the TTS...nothing works, and if something does work, it is only temporary, for 1-2 days at most.
Please, do you guys have any suggestions on what i can do to fix this ?

What is your partition details (System+Data) and which gapps you are using?

Thanks for the reply.
I am using the gapps located here slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1150-addons4-4 **Version** Slim_mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-385.
I am not sure where to look up the partition details but i have not repartitioned anything so i believe everything should be default.
Thankfully, i have found a strange and yet seemingly reliable fix for my problem after at the very least 2 weeks of trying to figure out why voice navigation stops working.
The fix i've found is very easy to do and i have no idea why it works but it seems to be working all the time, found it only a few hours ago but it passes the phone restart test & google maps restart (something which none of the other things i've tried did), i must first start the navigation and select vehicle / car as my method of transportation, after that, i switch back to what i normally use which is "on foot" and the navigation voice will work.

This is the issue of incomplete voice directions. The voice directions need to be downloaded when you are using the Google Maps and it depends on your internet speed. If there is no voice direction, you will hear "chime" sound instead of the voice direction.
Check out the help from google.

[Self-fixed] JB Google Now problem: Crashes immediately on search

Google Now worked correctly on my phone, until 1st of August. Since then, it is having a strange problem. Not just voice, even if I try to search using text (typing it into the box), it briefly shows the results and crashes immediately. Its not a 'crash' as such, it just shows the home screen directly, and no force close or not responding message.
Anyone else experiencing this? What could be the problem?
ROM: CM10 latest build - tried reinstalling, tried installing older build but no luck
EDIT: Fixed it!! Under "Phone Search", you'd need to disable one (or more) options in order to make it work correctly. For me, it was Google Chrome. Its working fine now.
I had the same problem of it not showing up after my GApps flash. Caught unaware, I started installing/updating the Google Apps, then saw this thread and reflashed the proper GApps file. Unfortunately, that caused all sorts of weirdness. What I found to work after everything was to reflash JB, reboot back into recovery, and flash GApps IMMEDIATELY after the JB flash. Now I have Google Now with all my apps. No special settings changes or anything. It just works now.

I am having the exact same issue, with the exception that I tried disabling everything under phone search, and it still crashes immediately
I can open google now but as soon as I start to type it closes (similar to OP, no FC message or anything, just back to the homescreen). I can't even click settings within google search (same result, just closes). I think it was working after upgrading to JB. I think it started to act weird after integrating with my system rom using Titanium Backup. I don't think there's a way to de-integrate, is there?
Do you think installing the APK on top would help? Or do I need to start over?
Also, FWIW, I'm on the moto droid razr maxx HD, so this sounds like a software, not hardware, issue.

epinter CM10 questions/bug list

Curious about some of these since most of them don't seem to be documented on the main thread, so I'm not sure if it's something on my end or something not working with the ROM. Any workaround suggestions would be appreciated.
--Built-in video camera app doesn't work (documented).
--Video playback doesn't work correctly. Audio is fine, video lags. Eventually audio stops to resync with laggy video. Happens with video files recorded before installing the ROM, which used to play fine on stock GB, as well as tested with video files dumped from my PC. Tried Gallery's player, MX player, and Rock player.
--Chrome crashes frequently (most notably when hitting the tabs button).
--Twitch.tv app plays audio with a black screen (youtube and other things work fine).
--Hardware buttons don't light up.
--Voice Search doesn't work.
--Google Books crashes immediately (documented). (seems to be fixed as of 8-23B)
--Live wallpapers don't work (black background). (seems this magically fixed itself without any updates or workarounds)
--Battery % seems to act weird above 90%, lately it's been stopping charging at 95% (or so it says), and the battery info on the lock screen says "Charged" rather than "Charging" at 95%. Reboot, battery pull, wipe batt stats, re-flash ROM, etc. didn't fix. This didn't happen for the first few days after initial install. (seems to be an Atrix problem with 4.0+ rather than a ROM specific problem)
Edit: 8-23-12B
Live Wallpapers working just fine here on latest 0815
The only issue I have really found is that I cannot get my chrome to phone to work... but I can use phone to chrome.
Anyone else have this issue and come up with a solution?

Chrome doesn't works for me too, I've read it needs the hardware acceleration from the driver that Motorola hasn't released yet...

I am not talking about chrome itself I was talking about the chrome to phone app that works with the desktop chrome add on. I should have specified a little more.

I use this all the time with going between my phone, my work, and my home computers.
So is there a work around to install flash on CM10. Also mkv files do not work even with mx player correct? Anything else that doesn't work? A complete list would be appreciated!

Uh... Try searching.
Video camera does work on some apps, hardware buttons light up when you select "auto-brightness," Voice search works when you install the appropriate offline voice file, and battery % can be fixed with ravilov's battery app.

It works. Like anything else, you need to sign off/sign in to the service for it to recognize it again. Need to do that every time you flash a rom.

That doesn't work. I have logged in and out on phone and computer, I have installed fresh, I have tried clearing data, and reistalling with data from titanium. Any other ideas? I tried everything I can think of. And I can use the phone to chrome fine just not the chrome to phone...
Most things are running very well. I've tried about a half a dozen roms over the past week or so. One of the only problems I've found is issues with google now. It wont speak back to me, it's just shows the google results. Even on basic questions that it usually would speak an answer back to you, like scores of a baseball game or something like that. But that's not a big problem for me. Also, there's some issues with Chrome and some other browsers. Some browsers work better than others. To my surprise, I'm having the best luck with Firefox Beta and Boat Browser.

Google Voice Crashes
Great ROM. Thanks, epinter.
I'm getting regular messages for Google Voice stopping. I'm running the gapps v3 and the 2012-080-25 ROM but I was also getting the Google Voice crashes in 2012-08-23B.
I upgraded from CM9 without a user wipe (I did wipe cache) and went straight to gapps v3. Other than the Google Voice FCs, everything is running great. I haven't read about anyone else having this problem. Is it just me?
Much appreciated.

Update: I incorrectly assumed that Google Voice was part of the gapps package. A quick uninstall and reinstall of Google Voice through Play did the trick.

[Q] Google Voice/Samsung Assistant not working on Omega v32

Here goes. I have the 4.1.1 Omega v32-XXDLJ5 ROM with Siyahkernel v1.7rc2 on my I9300.
Now the problem is, the ROM was working perfectly without any hitches, but today when I tried using Google Voice app, the voice failed to take my input and kept asking me to tap the microphone icon onscreen. I can see that it is registering the voice (with the visual representation surrounding the microphone icon), but there is no feedback. Upon checking further I found that the same issue is with Samsung's Assistant as well. It is not providing any feedback.
Unfortunately that's not the end. I also found that the dictation in messaging etc. of Google voice isn't working either. So, basically, they all are listening to my voice but not providing any reply/feedback.
Same issue had happened to me before 10 days. At that time I had felt that I might have tweaked with some setting somewhere which resulted in this issue (did a nandroid restore to resolve it). But this time around, i haven't done anything which would have caused this issue.
Can anyone help me to find the cause of this issue, and if anyone knows what/where the fault is, your help in resolving this issue will be appreciated.
I know I can reflash the rom/restore the nandroid backup, but it also means having to re-install everything/some from scratch, which is a pain. And also, those don't identify the source of the problem. And this being the 2nd time, it might very well be repeated a 3rd or more number of times.
Did you try fix permissions in CWM.
I have the CWM 3.60, but i get a notice that this ver of CWM should be used with CF-CWM v1.1 or newer, so, various options have been diabled. Maybe that's why I don't have the fix permissions option. Any idea about this?
NB: Found the option in CMR and it fixed the issue right up. Thnx a lot buddy

[Q] google voice typing doesnt work.

Hello, the google voice typing works fine on stock rom but after i installed paranoid android it stopped working.
If i tried to use it in the google search at the top of the page it would say that google search has stopped and closes the app but if i tried in the messaging app it would give me the same error (i think but it disappears to fast to see) and the keyboard disappears and wont come back and the only way to get the keyboard to appear again in every app is to go into language and input and disable google voice typing.
I have tried returning to stock rom where it works fine and then installing Paranoid android again but the same thing happens and it doesnt work. I also just installed a different rom called carbon and it also doesnt work on that.
It works fine for my friend who has also used the same roms from the same download link.
I thought it may be something to do with the G apps file i downloaded and thought about downloading a different version but when i checked the two custom roms they both came with different date G apps so i dont think thats the problem.
Anyone have any idea on what else i could try to get it working as i use this feature a lot.
Thanks.
I'm having exactly the same issue but with PAC-ROM on my HTC One.
Can I ask:
Does the Google voice search app work for you?
Is it telling you there's an update to Google Search, but giving you an error when it tries to update?
Thanks
EDIT:
Just fixed it by flashing this gapps:

[Q] Google Now No Internet Connection

I have a Nexus 5, unmodified and unrooted on 4.4.4
I disabled background data recently because I was running out.
I noticed that the Google Now Launcher had a "No Internet Connection" box even when connected to home Wi-Fi.
I re-enabled background data and pulled down to refresh.
I now have no cards at all, when there were previously some old ones.
I have cleared data and cache of both Google Now Launcher and Google Search.
I have rebooted multiple times.
I have uninstalled updates and reinstalled updates for both Google Now Launcher and Google Search.
I don't know what to do at this point, other than a full device reset.
I am facing the same issue since morning
You can try deleting the home network and then reconnecting to it.

I'm having the same issues.. But remember, people were having this issue after last year's Google IO.
It's definitely an issue on Google's end. I'm having problems on both my Nexus 5 and iPad Mini...
Yeah, tried everything but still no luck. I wish google sends an update
I have the same problem on Nexus 4, (4.4.4). I hope Google will fix this issue soon.
I know its not a wrong thread to ask but I am facing this issue whenever I recieve call and using the phone, no option comes up to accept or reject plus navigation bar also hides. Can anyone please suggest me whats the issue. Have searched other threads but no luck.
Hi guy i can help you
Try to change/modify the Kernel ROM, or even change your Smartphone if you are under warranty
I have tried stock, franco nd elementalx.. In all three issue persists.
Has anyone tried a full device reset?
I got some cards. When I pull to reset, I get "no internet connection again."
Forgetting and reconnecting to the Wi-fi had no effect.
I'm having the same problem with my N5. Some searching seems to indicate that it may be due to Google Now's new "Google Now Everywhere" option, only officially available on the L preview, but unofficially by a hack here:https://plus.google.com/+AdamLawrence/posts/46A68S7Dytb
I installed the L preview and played with it for a few hours and enabled the "Google Now Everywhere" option, which I assume toggles some setting at Google, so that's probably how it happened for me.
Did anyone else try the L preview or use the hack above?

I used the hack, but Google Now Everywhere is supposedly rolling out to KitKat devices too with the latest update. But with the above person seeing an issue on an iPad tells me it's on Google's end.

The latest version of Google Search, 3.5.14, has the OK Google Everywhere thing. If you're not on that version, I don't think it'd be what's causing the connection issue.

Hello.
Any updates or ideas about this error?
I have a device suffering this same. But by having installed CM11/12 all the time never experienced until go back to stock Motorola. Just to sold it and see the new owner told me about the problem, wanting to have his money back.
Version 4.2.x and lowers are working. Once the phone installs last 4.3.x or 4.4.x the problem starts.
Yes......This seems to be a bug.
I'm using Google Now with android 4.4.4, same issue.
