Hey guys,
any solutions ?
http://en.miui.com/thread-3921003-1-1.html
tried automate (tasker alt), autoinput, no luck!
this is especially important while driving! (keep everything nice & safe & hands free)
Really disappointing, they fixed 'OK Google' (though had to clear google app's data before is worked), but broke this, give me some creative solutions
Set face unlock as it's now available for all regions. Tap on the screen when the screen is off and it will unlock while you're driving without a need do do anything else. Not sure if that's what you meant but hope it helps.
Apparently not for Israel, anyway when I switched the region to India and the option appeared, it still didn't work and said it could not recognize me.
At least saying OK Google not only works now but actually unlocks swipe lockscreen, and then the secure one gets unlocked by my amazfit stratos watch... so I guess I will just say OK Google every time I want to turn on the screen instead and well ... use it.
tl;dr: skip to end
Ok so an update / clarification...
up untill now... on miui 9.5...
I had 'automate' (like tasker), when connected to car's Bluetooth, and I would press volume down and up on my bluetooth media button on my steering wheel, turn on the screen, straight to the PIN entry screen, which would be auto unlocked via bluetooth by my amazfit watch, and then 'ok google' would be launched via shortcut (since saying the words didn't work anyway I figured it's way more convenient to have buttons... also because sometimes it doesn't hear / understand you through the noise, and you look like an idiot turning off music and ac and saying Ok Google multiple times ?)
also when I would connect to car's audio when I started the car... screen would be unlocked and spotify would open up and start playing without me touching anything.... now it's stuck at lockscreen untill I dismiss it
Anyay I figured out why Autoinput does not work... because I always use some 'device admin' app to lock the phone (fingerprint quick action \ dts widget \ all in one gestures)
when using the power button, autoinput works
I want my convenience back so what I ask from you:
can anyone report if this issue exists in the beta versions?!
thank you!

I need a way to be able to voice dial at any time even with the phone locked or with some other app the Voice Talk open via Bluetooth, I know this is possible on Android since my old Motorola Milestone could do it and would be legal under the new laws.
My province is now getting distracted driving laws which will make using my phone illegal with how many steps it takes currently.
I refuse to give up locking my phone since I have private info on it but I need to be able to make calls by pressing the button on my Bluetooth even with the phone locked since it could even be in my jeans pocket with no way to get at it when sitting.
Currently on my GS2 I have to unlock the phone then double click the home button to bring up voice dialing or even open the voice talk app if I am in a different app.
Compared to my Milestone where I never touched it and at any time even pattern locked or in a different app I could just press the button on my Bluetooth and say "call jane" or something and it always worked.
How can I get this back? Considering the laws are coming into effect next month for me.
I would like to keep the stock Samsung voice for most time but would be willing to have a second one that works even if the phone is locked.
I also have people that want this phone but willn't buy it until I get this fixed.
Use Tasker to disable the lock pattern when connected to a bluetooth device - therefore when you disconnect from your car bluetooth, your lock pattern will re-activate.
Problem solved!
OK I have that and think I am close to setting it up but can't totally figure it out how to disable the lock screen.
All I have figured out is a profile that runs if a mic headset is connected but when I try to figure out the task it does I get stuck.
I have never used Tasker before.
This is suddenly going to be to expensive since I found out the SGS2 requires extra work to disable the pattern lock which is a extra $10 plugin and I am not even sure if I want to pay for Tasker itself after the 7 day trial.
I might try and find out how it was done on my old phone when locked.
For others that may want to kn ow here is the thread for this on a GS2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110307
Nope, you don't need the plugin - there's a keyguard action that you would disable, which also disables the lockscreen.
I'm trying to set this up myself, but for some stupid reason, it's not responding when I press my bluetooth button at all...
Fricken Vlingo - you suck!

Are you sure that would work on our Samsung phones since they modified the locking system to use the /efs partition?
If you do get it working make sure to tell me how.
Has anyone used a Bluetooth headset to do voice dialing with the HTC One?
My [Bose] Bluetooth headset does not works with the One although it works fine on my 4G Slide. With the Slide, press once on the Bluetooth button to start the voice dialer, and press once more to cancel. With the HTC One, there is no cancel. It keeps asking me to enter a command (or name of person to call). I tried a different Bluetooth headset and got the same results.
Then I turn off the Bluetooth headset and use the microphone in the phonebook and, for example say "call Johnny." Although Johnny is in my phonebook, the words "call Johnny" appears where the calling number is and all I get is a button "Save to People."
So if anyone knows, please let me know if a) you successfully used a Bluetooth headset to make calls, and b) if it doesn't works, does voice dialing directly with the phone works?
On a smaller problem, my friend send me a pix thru the text app, and I receive this text, "The media content was not included due to a picture resolution or message size restriction." Anyone has this problem and is there a fix?
Oh, on the 1st issue, I looked at the text to speech engine and it is Google tts. I tried a different engine (IVONA) and still no go.
Probably going to return and get the Samsung S4.

Have you tried this test? I can verify several bluetooth devices will launch the voice dialer when you are NOT in car mode, but though it launched it, it does not listen over bluetooth, It only starts it. Please test it in CAR mode and see if your bluetooth button has the same issues I posted below or if it works properly for you.

Just got back from fishing so my mind is still a little foggy, and when reading your link, I don't think it is what I am after. I mean I want to be able to just press the button on the Bluetooth Headset (BH) to make a call to someone. My phone could be in the next room, no where near my BH.
I don't even know where the Car Mode is. Is that the screen when I go into the Phone, and press the microphone on the lower right hand corner, correct? I did and a box with Google and Red microphone pops up and say "Speak now." So I say "Call Charlie" Then only the Voice Search box pops up that shows "call Charlie" and just wait there. So this certainly does not dial Charlie automatically for me.
Again, I do not want to even touch the phone when I do the Voice dialing with my BH.
So no one here has a problem using Voice Dialing with the BH?
Btw I don't even get that screen ""PLEASE WAIT A FEW SECONDS WHILE UPDATING CONTACTS AND MUSIC".." or something like that.
You are missing what I'm saying..
The feature you want is in CAR mode and when you press the Bluetooth button in CAR mode it does something different then when you're not in CAR mode. To go to CAR mode either a have:
(A) special doc which automatically launch is it or
(B) simply go into your app drawer and find the steering wheel icon/app that says CAR.
When you are in this mode in the bottom right hand corner there's an icon called SPEAK.
THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.
Unfortunately it seems to be broken, if you press the button/icon in the CAR mode which is the same as pressing the Bluetooth button it works..
but when you press the Bluetooth button it just hangs there..
try this and you'll see what I mean
Told you I am still dazed....
You are absolutely right. Pressing the Speak will dial the person. Pressing the Bluetooth it opens up "Just one moment, ...." and hangs there.

By the way, the voice we hear from pressing the "Speak" button in the Car Mode is a different voice from the one we hear just by pressing the Bluetooth headset button to activate Voice dial command. So those 2 apps are probably using different text to speech engine. If only we can change the setting so that the Bluetooth activated voice dial use the same settings as the "Speak" in the Car Mode setting, I think we can call someone just by using the Bluetooth and not have to go into Car Mode.

When you say the two voices are different I assume you mean when you are not in CAR mode and you press the Bluetooth button.
Yes that is actually Google's voice dialer that now just recently works over Bluetooth and it is mostly accurate and finally has voice confirmation instead of just dialing the number like it use to.
Its good but it is not as good as SPEAK which only works in CAR mode.
That is made by a company called NUANCE. They have the better software. They are the same people who make the apps known as Vlingo, Dragon, and also S-Voice ,which is on the Samsung Galaxy series of phones.
For now I'm having to use the Google version but I would much rather use SPEAK because SPEAK also lets you play music by voice and it does the same thing, it confirms what you want to hear by saying: This song? and if you say NO it asks about the next song and the next song and so on just like the voice dialer does.
and finally since I have the official dock, when I am in CAR mode which I always am because of the dock. I can not use the Google Voice Dialer. In CAR mode if I press the Bluetooth button it launches SPEAK.
I have to managed to get it to launch the Google voice dialer even when in car mode but it has taken me 3 dollars in automation apps and some configuration to make it do what it should have done the way it is suppose to out of the box.
I shouldn't have to though, I should be able to use SPEAK.
SILLY HTC..
At least it's working for you. Mine is not working, in the Car mode or straight from Bluetooth (not in Car mode).

When you're not in CAR mode there's nothing on the screen but the voice still says 'Say a number or name to call' and then if you speak it, it will then repeat back that name or number and ask you to say 'ok' if the number or contact it repeats is correct or 'cancel' if it repeats back an incorrect number or contact but there is nothing on the screen when it does this...
so what happens exactly when you try to call with not being in CAR mode?
It keeps dialing the wrong name. If I use the Speak in Car mode, it will get the right name.

Though the Google dialer is not young it is young in the sense that it just now supports Bluetooth dialing AND call confirmation it has a long way to go to catch up with Nuance. Unfortunately we all got expensive phones that came with a great dialer it just doesn't work when you press the button I guess we'll have to wait for a fix..
after speaking with HTC tech support I understand it probably will not come from them, they just can't even understand the basic concept of what I'm trying to tell them so its up to some other people like us to talk about it and finally gets response from them which seems like it might be a while.
I have more faith that some genius here in the developer forums will come up with it before they do..

I agree.
When i got this device i thought how stupid this was and hoped after flashing a custom rom maybe it would eliminate this stupid feature of this device. It seems HTC thinks it's a good idea to turn the screen ON after ending a phone call, WTF?
At work i use my bluetooth headset all day with my phone in my pocket. I will take my phone out, dial the number i want to speak to, press power to turn screen off, put device in pocket and have my conversation. I end the phone conversation with my bluetooth headset and guess what? The dang phone's screen turns on while it is in my pocket. I guess the light sensor has zero effect here! So now since this happens and my device has a timeout of 2min i set before screen turns off my phone accidentally "butt dials" people and without me knowing i'm now calling people randomly while i'm working!
Another case. I have my phone in my car's cupholder, i use bluetooth to make a call with my car, it initiates the call to my phone and again it turns the screen ON to make the call. WHY? I never pressed power on my device to turn the screen on to make a call. So again i press the power button to turn screen off while in call. I hang up the call when i'm done via the bluetooth in my car and again the device turns the screen back ON once i disconnect the call via bluetooth.
I just don't understand the logic behind this? Is this some HTC thing or all android? Coming from iPhone 4 never had this issue so was a first for me with this device. Just don't see the reason or logic for this?
Anyway to prevent this or stop this from happening? I mean isn't that the point of bluetooth to not need to touch your device thus no need for the screen to be turned on????
+1
It seems that this is not a HTC thing because I have the same behavior on my Samsung device. Same problem as well with pocket dialing during/after a call. Really annoying. I had the same thing on my old HTC Nexus One running Froyo, so this is not a new bug. Back then I tried a lot of different apps, and none helped. I even flashed CyanogenMod on it and it didn't change anything.
I really hope someone has run across a fix whether it's an app, a patch or a whole new ROM, because pulling my phone out of my pocket to turn the screen back off TWICE for every call I make or receive is getting to be a pain.
I can't believe this behavior is voluntary on the part of the designers. If it is, please someone explain why.
You can use TASKER(automation app at Play Store ) to Get you screen off after a call or while connected to the bluetooth ..

Just downloaded but no idea how to use this thing. Not very saavy with this type of stuff. How can I use tasker to turn the screen off when ending a call ONLY while connected to a Bluetooth headset? This is my biggie since it's in my pocket.
Got it to work
Ok, I downloaded Tasker and I'm impressed.
Here's how I got this to work:
1: Create new profile using STATE, then go to NET, then hit BLUETOOTH CONNECTED. Here you can specify if you want only a specific device or any Bluetooth.
2: Set new task: SET plsLock to ON
3: Set exit task: SET plsLock to OFF
4: Create new profile using EVENT, then go to PHONE, and hit PHONE OFFHOOK.
5: Set new task as: SCREEN, SYSTEM LOCK
6: Hit IF, and specify if plsLock is ON
7: Create new profile using EVENT, then go to PHONE, and hit PHONE IDLE.
8: Set new task as: SCREEN, SYSTEM LOCK
9: Hit IF, and specify if plsLock is ON.
You're done.
Since I had the same problem with the wired headset, I also created a profile with HARDWARE, HEADSET that sets the variable plsLock to ON and exit task sets it back to OFF. You can name the variable anything you want and it will still work.
If anyone has a better/simpler way of programming this, please share. I just started using this program and am still trying to wrap my head around the way this is structured.
As this stands, it works... But it's still a patch on something that should be an option in Android.
Let me know what you think.
Ok thank you I'll give it a try. Yeah could never understand why my device thinks it's a good idea to turn screen back on after ending a call via Bluetooth or not? I receive call, I then press power button to turn screen off bit continue my call, the caller hangs up, boom my screen turns on displaying the phone dialer until my time out settings turn screen off. Dumbest feature I swear. Hello phone I pressed power offbutton to turn screen off, get the hint and keep screen off until I press power button and want it back on again. No sense...
Deeznuts, did you manage to get it working with tasker ? I guess it is the only possible way to get to your objective. Learning Tasker will give a new dimension to your phone. More over I will try to make a profile for your and get working .

No unfortunately not. I would greatly appreciate that! I would think it's a simple task but honestly I'm very handicapped when it's comes to stuff like this.
Basically a string for tasker that would simply just do this:
When my device is connected to a Bluetooth device whether it be my car kit, headset, stereo headset, etc. and a phone call ends where by me pressing the End Call on screen button, by ending call with car kit, headset, etc, doesn't matter but will make the screen turn off. That's it.
When connected via Bluetooth, a phone call ends, screen turns off.
Now here's a kicker and not sure if this part would be harder. I'm connected via Bluetooth headset or device, I have screen on to manually make a phone call, then while on the call I press the power button to turn screen off while on call and put device in my pocket. Now when the call eventually ends I would want the screen to stay off.
I will read into the link you provided and mess with it somewhere. Thank you for your time and help.
Correct me if I am wrong , you mean to say that no matter what you want your screen to stay off after a call ...

Correct BUT only when connected to a Bluetooth device. My gripe is on a Bluetooth call, place a call manually then talk on headset, car kit, etc. I press power button to turn screen off then put phone back in pocket, when call ends the phone turns screen back on for some reason. Never understood this?
Hey Guys in germany the Ota rolled out,
yesterday i got my update and i was happy to see the changelog because since smarthome i use google assistent a lot
And they are right, now it works when the screen is off - what dosnt work is the smartunlock. It asks me everytime for the Password....

Anyone else have this problem?
(Also battery drain - but i read it before with this rom - so no suprise i guess)

No, but you can turn off media volume.
For the other issue: go to settings -> lock screen -> smart unlock -> voice match
Turn it off then on again and it should work.
If it doesn't, you need to go to the google app in the play store and hit delete. it will ask you if you want to factory reset the app since u cannot delete it. do it and then hit the three dots in the top right corner and disable auto update fot this app. This is because google recently updated google app and voice unlock doesn't work anymore with mate 10 pro (again)

I also got the . 137,and now my AOD is a complete mess. The clock almost always displays wrong time. Last nite the display showed like 3:05am, while in fact it was like 4:50 (woke up had to pee :l).
With AoD on, my fingerprint reacts slower... I don't know how such a premium device cannot be sorted out in order for such a simple function such as AoD to work without problems. Seems that for some reason Huawei puts battery life above functionality.
Oh and I don't even want to go to the issue of scrolling widgets...
Maybe someone can help me, i updated last week my phone. to 137. (ota) i reseted my phone to get a fresh rom
about a hour ago i was in my car , and my radio dosnt show titels anymore and i cant forward tracks via radio. only on my phone.
My radio says "BT AUDIO" and its just playing. not more. .... that kinda sucks on the version before it was all okey.
Yes i delted car and phone bluetooth and reconnect. same issue.
updated to 137 too. battery same as before. little youtube, little gaming and some browsing and im on 55% with 4.10h sot.I did do a full upgrade trough " download full upgrade package" witch was 2.9gb if that materes
Hi,
I have an S9+ with Rogers in Canada, which was recently upgraded to Android pie. Ever Since I have not been able to use Google assistant when the phone is in sleep mode. Prior to the update, I was able to say "OK Google: set the timer for xxx minutes", when the phone was in sleep mode. But now it doesn't work anymore, other than vibrating. It still works on other screens, just not when the phone is asleep.
I called Samsung but they were useless telling me that I need to press the home button and that it has always been so and that nothing changed with Android Pie but that is BS.
Can other Pie users please verify, that OK Google works on your phone when it is in sleep mode and if anyone else has the same issue as I and if you have a solution.
Thanks,
Roli
Sleep mode? as in while screen is off? or another mode?

Yes. When the screen is locked.
My phone was like that at one point, I am on Pie now and I had to go into the settings and make sure it was set to work even when the screen was off. Took a minute to find, have you checked there?
Settings/Google/Search, Assistant and Voice/Voice/Voice Match
I have. The phone vibrates when the screen is off and I say "OK Google" but is the screen remains black until I press the home button.
I'm thinking now that perhaps it has something to do with security and not with Google Assistant. I'm going to check my security settings. Maybe there's something there.
Come to think of it, I've had that happen before, not now but some time ago. I never sound effects, never really tried, somehow it just seemed to resolve itself after a while I guess. Good luck and keep us posted, you might be right in that it has to do with some security setting or something.
This? Access with voice match?
There is also that one underneath that says 'unlock with voice match', for use if you have a screen lock set up I guess. Did you try that one as well?

I’m sure that’s the option the OP needs to use.
I think it's a common problem with Google assistant and potentially the same as the 'voice unlock paused' issue, I've seen people complaining about both on pixel forums as well as on here (if Google can't get it right with their own phone what hope do we have!!). There were a few steps around deleting the voice model and resetting the smart lock agent (see screenshot). I did this and retrained the voice model in absolute silence which seemed to work for a bit but has since stopped. Annoyingly it doesn't seem to take into account when I'm at home and the phone is unlocked with smart lock!

OK. Here is my screenshot of the settings that I have on my phone. Access and Unlock with Voice Match are turned on.
Let me reiterate. The phone is reacting to "OK Google" on every screen so the voice match is working.
The problem is that when when I am on the lock screen and I say "OK Google" the phone vibrates, acknowledging that it heard the prompt but it does nothing until I press the home button or power button.
Have a look at this video. (I distorted for privacy reasons the audio because my phone and tablet were reacting when I was playing back the video):
https://youtu.be/fO3nsJ215eo
I have the S9+ on Rogers and thankfully, this feature continues to work flawlessly after the upgrade as I use it often in my daily work..It actually seems to be more responsive after the update.
It can be very frustrating when the feature randomly stops working but it is usually due to an update on Google's end that causes it as I can usually fix it by going through the voice setup steps after an update..
In extreme situations you may want to uninstall and then reinstall the Google app..
Had the same problem myself and fixed it, just go to app info for Google and clear the cache and clear data, worked a treat for me

I have an S9+ with Rogers in Canada, which was recently upgraded to Android pie. Ever Since I have not been able to use Google assistant when the phone is in sleep mode. Prior to the update, I was able to say "OK Google: set the timer for xxx minutes", when the phone was in sleep mode. But now it doesn't work anymore, other than vibrating. It still works on other screens, just not when the phone is asleep.
I called Samsung but they were useless telling me that I need to press the home button and that it has always been so and that nothing changed with Android Pie but that is BS.
Can other Pie users please verify, that OK Google works on your phone when it is in sleep mode and if anyone else has the same issue as I and if you have a solution.
Thanks,
Roli

I'm on an S9+ with Bell in Canada and I can still unlock my device with voice when it's sleeping even though it gave me a notice that I would no longer be able to.
For some reason I've lost the ability to voice control any of my smart devices through Google Home. Seems like a related but different problem.
That, the lack of pro video mode and the brutal battery life have really turned Pie into a nightmare for me..
Hope they release fixes for these issues or I'll have to look at flashing..
