I'm trying to play music and run Google Maps Navigation simultaneously. On the Evo 4G, I could do this no problem. On this phone now everytime it is supposed to speak directions, it mutes music, but does not say the direction - it is either muted or extremely low volume. I should also mention I am using a custom voice - SVOX Classic.
Anyone else experience this or find a fix?
Thanks!

Did you turn the nab volume all the way up?
Edit: Just tried it and it works fine for me.

Yeah the navigation volume is on full. I even tried turning up the volume in the SVOX app.
Just curious are you using a custom voice or the built in?
SOunds like you answered your on question, its the svox and not the 3do. Uninstall and you should be fine.

Obviously I am trying to get the two to work together. I'm sure I'm not the only one who uses a custom voice.
Still looking for other people's experiences with SVOX Google Maps, and Music

Then you should change your title to svox and music don't work together because there are no problems with Google Navigation and music.

Just because you haven't had the problem or even many users haven't had the problem does not mean the issue doesn't exist. For example: on EVO 4G I used Google Navigation with SVOX without a single problem. I will try with the default PICO TTS to confirm whether or not it is specific to SVOX next time I have a chance.
I have a strong feeling it is related to the stock software. I have also noticed poor aac audio quality in Xiialive using the stock system codec but as soon as I switch to Xiialive internal engine, it works perfectly. This leads me to believe there is some kind of issue with the audio codecs in stock Rom.
Not a monster of a deal but would be cool to resolve.
I have just confirmed the problem is not exclusive to SVOX. I am experiencing the same result with the standard tts. I am also using it over Bluetooth. All of this worked perfect on OG Evo.
Anyone with actual ideas and not just complaints about my thread?
This is a known issue with gingerbread and the sat nav application. I'm on my phone now, but if you do a search you will find several bugs open with Google. Unfortunately I don't think there is a fix yet. even happens on under gb and cm7 phones including the updated 4g.
I'm having the same issue with with stock maps, PowerAmp and latest MikG through Bluetooth or 3.5mm Jack. Navigation works fine until player is started.
/edit
Whoops just noticed this ie the 3D forum... I'm running the 4G

Berardi, please see this thread I just started. It looks like it's a bug.
Anyway to make this more known? Maybe blast @google @androiddev @googlemobile with tweets or message them on facebook?
This is a pretty serious issue IMO. I can't believe more people don't complain bout this.

Reguardless what i connect to with bluetooth be it my computer, my car, or my bluetooth headset the music controls (play, pause, forward, reverse, and starting the voice talk thing) no longer seem to work properly if the screen is off when i activate them.
Scenario: Listen to music via bluetooth in my car.
Press voice call button on my deck
Phone screen is off, its sitting in the glove box (not legally allowed to be within reach when driving)
What SHOULD happen: Brings up the voice control app... "What would you like to do", and i can tell it to play music or make a call or text or whatever.
What DOES happen: most of the time nothing, returns an error that the phone does not support this feature.
The same happens for when i want to change the song or play/pause the music.
Also get the same sort of problem from my bluetooth headset (Blueant T1) when starting the "voice commands" option. If the phone screen is off i get an error, if the phone screen is on it works as it should.
This only started happening after updating to ICS XXLPQ (stock). Has anyone else noticed this? Is there a different version of ICS that works better, or a custom rom thats tweaked for everything? I use bluetooth damn near every day, it has to work for me.
Thanks in advance!
Bump? Does anyone know what im talking about, have you experienced this sort of thing? Are there others with this problem or should i try reinstalling my rom as if it were an isolated event? I could really use some direction here.
Hi,
I have same problem with my autoradio sony MXBT3900U.
GS2 reboot every 15 min when I use bluetooth function (a2dp, phone, etc.)
I've read that 4.0.4 ics version resolve this issue.
I think we should wait this update or install a custom rom with 4.0.4 (hydrogenics, etc.) or install a GB version.
rgs.
I've got the same problem while playing music in my car.
What I've found MIUI ICS roms support this nicely.
and I've been using them cause of this very purpose.
Actually I kinda like MIUI.
Regards
Gaurav
FWIW, when I got the message you mention about not supporting this feature, I found it was because it was trying to ask me which app I wanted to open in response to the button press.
Try pressing the BT button when screen unlocked and check that it's not something silly like that.
Having read your post properly, it probably isn't.
Yes, it most definately is not something silly like that. Glad to hear im not the only one, now to wait another 5 months to get an update from Samsung I really with sammy was better with updates...
Yep...got the same problem too - pause/play just wont have it on ICS. I've tried a few ICS ROMs - all got the same issue, sound is clear as bell and next/prev tracks work fine - but not pause/play! But must admit, I've yet to try a MIUI Rom.....suggestions?
ICS is proving a PITA for me. I'm on Wanamlite at the mo and I need Sky Go to work (which it does fine) but on the 4.0.4 ROMs I've tried like Hydrogen, it wont work! Knowing my luck, if I try a MUIU rom and I get pause/play to work on my BT headset - Sky Go won't
Found the following post when doing a search on it:-
Fix Bluetooth headset/headphone controls in Mog for Android 4 (ICS)
I submitted this via Mog Mobile App Support but was shot down and told to submit it as a "feature request" here. The problem is that Bluetooth play and pause controls do not work in the Mog app for Android 4 (ICS). The skip and rewind buttons work just fine, but play and pause are not responsive. Specifically, on my Galaxy Nexus device, I cannot play or pause music using the Bluetooth controls on any Bluetooth headset or headphones. This worked with previous versions of Android.
I have contacted the Android development team about this, and they said that the Play/Pause specification in ICS has changed a bit. And all that is required is a short coding change on your part (and other developers with similar apps).
They even provided the proper coding:

So it looks like there's the answer.... it's just that it may as well be written in Swahili for all the good it does me. Maybe the Devs can implement whatever that means, into the roms (or produce a flashable zip?)
EDIT: Found a temp workaround during more googling.... it's an app called Media Button Router and seems to do the job on my S2.... HTH somebody else here!
It helped me! Thanks! Now I hope they fix it for everybody. Media Button Router works for most of my audio apps. I wish it would just go back to the previously playing thing when you hit play though. That and it doesn't seem to recognize Audible for Android...

Dude, you just made my day !!!
It works flawlessly with my Pioneer Car Radio! I couldn't use any HW buttons to control my music until you mentioned this app .
Kudos!
I am running a non-rooted Moto Z Force. I have installed GBoard and would like to be able to use the voice to text option. However, when I click on the microphone the text to speech keyboard comes up but stops listening. Even if I hit the button in the middle of the keyboard I just get a quick beep and it never attempts to listen. I am however able to use the voice to text from my watch. Could there be some sort of conflict between my watch and phone? I have tried several different apps and get the same result. I have uninstalled and reinstalled GBoard multiple times.
Hello,
Is you media volume on? Because some time a go my google voice also didn't work.
I didn't have a clue why it didn't worked till I discovered that I put my media volume to zero.....
When using Google Play Music it plays one song then it won't play anymore. My Mate 9 is doing the same thing. Does anyone else have this issue ? Also when calling it doesn't show call status. No way to hang up within the screen. This is the US version.
Yeah I'm having the same problems as you. So I installed a third party eq app and it fixed the Google play music audio problem. But I am still having phone call issues and I don't know how to fix that. Also, using Waze freezes the AA interface so I don't know how to fix that either

Clear data on the Android auto app then open it again on the phone first. Grant all permissions.
Waze will work until you restart your phone again.
Which eq app are you using?
Sent from my MHA-L09 using Tapatalk
I also want to know which EQ app to use and what settings to have. I have try a few app but not working. Thank you
I have the same problem on Mate 10 Pro. Blank screen in car unit and eventually crashes on the car.
Turned on usb debugging, cleared cache on AA yet still nothing.
Using original usb 5a cable.
Any suggestions to resolve?
I had pretty much no issue using my Mate 10 Pro (on 145 firmware) with Peugeot 2008 vehicule (late 2018 H1 edition).
Some minor gliteches, but I've been able to enjoy Waze and Spotify. Didn't try since the smartphone has been recently updated to 148 and 150 firmware.
Hi guys,
I've been struggling for quite a while to find a working call recorder for Android 10 Lg G8x and I finally found one that works without you having to click your heels 3 times and do 7 summersaults... Just thought i would share it with the community:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fragileheart.callrecorder
All you need to do is change the audio source to Voice calls, and it records normal calls speaker calls and bluetooth
Wow... You made my day. I've been testing several Call Recorders with no success because I need recording for my work. If this works in a decent way you will have solve one of the problems I had with G8x.

We should share what we find. Here are a few apps that I consider must have for G8X:
Wide mode for LG https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.refy.android.g8x.widemode
Launch 2 apps, one on each screen: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.graymatterapps.duallaunchforlg or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.splitscreenlauncher
Overlay apps that really help if you are in Wide mode and can't reach:
- This one is the most used app on my phone, awesome assistive touch with very complex gesture controls if you want to go there. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ksxkq.floating . I use it with long press to move, press - menu, left - back, down - home, right - task manager, up - notifications, swipe up + hold - slide volume, swipe down + hold - slide brightness.
- Meteor Swipe https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fb.glovebox . This one is a side-bar, and has a nice open in window mode directly.
- Floating bar V40: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tools.lgv30.floatingbar . Much better than the built in functionality, and the only media controller if found that works with any media (Netflix, Youtube, etc)
- Bubble notification, best i've found : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onedollar.bubblenotificationq
List My Apps: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.onyxbits.listmyapps
Launchers:
- Square home https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.squarehome2
- Microsoft home https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.launcher
-> Both have landscape support, and are leaps and bounds over Apex or Nova, the blank slates that everyone uses for launchers.

Leave feedback for the dev, he put in the work.
Do you have any tips/tricks you would like to share about your G8X?
I see people are not really sharing, and that is sad, because that is one of the reasons Samsung devices are in such high regards, because the XDA community is very verbal about them, even though LG practically gives you the tools to root their devices, whereas Samsung tries their best to not do so.
The call recorder doesn't work when the dual screen accessory is attached and closed, but it does work when you flip it back and answer the call. Can others verify ?
i too am facing the call recording issue... this app works sometimes, most of the times it doesnt record anything, cant determine when it works well
hope LG bring native call recording to LG G8X, i think its just matter of enabling it in GUI. is there a way to submit feature request to LG?

"Works very rarely" is not really a unit of measure, you need to be more precise when offering feedback like when this happens, and its better if you offer it to the devs.
I can confirm that with the initial settings, recording through Bluetooth headsets does not work,the resulting fine is just empty, and i remember it did, maybe something was updated or the LDAC options might affect it. Direct calls do record fine, and it's the only app that allows contact recognition that I found at least.
If you guys find a better app, please let us know.

is there Screen Locker for LG G8X, Normal App Locker does not work in Secondary Screen
Currently, the only app with call recording and caller recognition is https://cubeacr.app/ Use direct download, not from the play store, as google does not allow to recognize caller and record calls. The source for the call is "voice recognition software" It looks like it is a mic but in a different mode. Quality is not the best. For me, there is no reason to buy it. Disable automatic update for this app or it will be overwritten by google version.

The play store version now has an addin that you can install, and gives you full functionality. If the volume for the other person is very low (this was the case for me) disable "Force in-communication mod"

Kindly share apk file as the suggested app is not available on play store in my region (India)
I ended up using the skvalex call recorder from Magisk, but you need a rooted phone for that to work. It's also a paid app (with 30 days of trial) and not a cheap one either, but it works flawlessly.
