I'm wondering if I accidentally deleted one of the delete-able stock apps that is needed to support Voice Talk. For some reason it doesn't open anymore. It will go to a black screen for a few seconds and then cut back to the app drawer. Is it possible that I did something wrong here? Just the stock OS and everything.
I am also seeing this exact same problem. It's only when invoking voice talk from the app icon. I can still launch it successfully from a widget or double home. Did u ever resolve this?
Hey, Im a heavy user of WhatsApp. I use it for most communication on my phone. However recently I have become frustrated with how WhatsApp always displays when I am online or whenI was last online. I just feel its an invasion of my privacy sometimes.
So I know the basics I can do to prevent this.
1. Not open WhatsApp!
2. Disable my data connection - however this kind of makes my phone a brick!
3. Enable Popup notifications.
Now point no 3. Ive been told that if you have a pop up notification on screen, you can read the message and it will not show you as being online or change your last online status as long as you dont click open. Can anyone confirm if this is true?
Thanks

I''ve asked this question in the Nexus 5 subforum too, but I am actually not sure it has anything to do with the device, more with apps.
Twice in the last days, I have gotten a spoken add on my Nexus 5, running stock 4.4.2.
Message is something like:
"YOU HAVE WON A FREE APP, SHAKE YOUR PHONE NOW TO GET YOUR FREE APP"
Even putting it down or a slight hand tremble will throw me towards the market where I see an app. Nothing shocking, but I have no clue what app is doing this. The first time I think I was working in the Gmail app, second time I was in Kik. Does anyone know how I can track which app is doing this?
Okay so I've been looking around for a way to set up specific rules for notifications, for example: between 11pm and 8am phone is silent, but if X texts me, play and continuously repeat notification alert until dismissed.
The idea is I want to be able to silence my phone at night but also allow certain people to wake me.
I've tried many of the apps in the play store that have similar functions but for the most part they either don't work at all or they don't entirely work. I also tried Llama but noisy contacts weren't working for texts nor do they repeat until dismissed. Tasker is a likely option but I can't for the life of me figure it out.
I'm on an LG G2 At&t stock rooted 4.2.2 rom
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
It's been like 5 days since I was able to say ok Google with screen off, call ( name here) and the phone would unlock and dial the number, regardless if it was a contact or not.
Now I say ok Google call ( name here) and either the assistant will not respond after opening to make the call, or it goes open and it shows example,
Call circles pizzeria
But it never makes the call.
Now if I using my fingerprint to unlock the device, say ok Google call circles pizzeria, it will make the call.
Want to note, this is not a contact. Also don't matter if it's a contact or not. I've showed 2 examples of ok Google getting "stuck" on the commands.
I've factory reset the device. I'm thinking this has to be on Google's end. Just want to know if anyone else is affected.
So 19 views, and no one quick tested their own device? Gee thanks....

I don't use Assistant at all (in fact I struggle to keep it disabled on my phone, and Google tries to enable it all the time). So I am one those views, but unfortunately have no experience.
Which OS version are you on? That might affect the results of others who try it.
Does it matter if you're in a Smart Lock situation (Trusted location, Trusted BT device etc)?
Just tested mine. My Google Home took the initiative of making the call, and gave me some tips on my first call that way. This was while my phone was in my hand, too, so I'm not sure why the GH took over, but whatever. In the end, it did dial out... or try to, before I told it to hang up.
Not exactly your situation, so I didn't respond. Mine has nothing to do with unlocking the screen, as I keep my screen unlocked and on Navigation app while driving.
But here's my story...
_________
A few months ago, new Google app update stopped Google Assistant from making the daily phone calls to my wife when I'm coming home from work. (I never know what time I can leave.)
"OK, Google, call (my wife's name)"
Normally automatically dials via Bluetooth through Google Voice.
This time nada, repeatedly -- from trying to show me search results, to not responding at all.
Even tried "OK, Google, call my wife" (instead of her name). Google Assistant: "Who is your wife?" (She's listed in Contacts as my wife, besides her full name.)
Suddenly Google Assistant wasn't performing as previously and also had amnesia.
This happened two days in a row. I had to manually hit a pinned dialer screen shortcut to call my wife while driving home. (Which is technically against the law now in Georgia, touching your phone while driving.)
So, I reverted back to the previous Google app version (downloaded through APK Mirror) -- which does exactly what I need -- and refuse to let it auto update in Google Play Store. I also have Titanium Backup of that specific version on hold, in case Google accidentally updates somehow.
I know I'm now a few months behind in app versions, but I don't have time to mess with trouble shooting. If the version I have works, I'm keeping it.
_______
I have half a dozen apps I also keep from auto updating for similar reasons.
For instance, because of newly imposed Google rules about a year ago, an long time app called My Data Manager has to put an icon on the left side status bar to show it's technically running in the background. On previous versions you could disable that stupid icon or "badge" in the app settings. It's a neat app, because I can merely swipe down and at the bottom of my notifications, there's a pinned box that shows my current data usage. And it's quite accurate. Every time I compare it to my carrier's report of my data usage it's within a few MB.
But I do NOT want to see a CONSTANT icon on my left side status bar for that app. So, I reverted to older version before the Google rules change and it works EXACTLY the way I wish. I unticked "auto update". I've done that for my phone, my wife's and my mom's.
________
I just finished working one month straight, with no days off. Feb 15 - March 13, often 12-14 hour days. In one two week stretch, I worked over 160 hours (4 weeks of work, crammed into 2 weeks.)
So, I'm not putting up with any crap from my phone.
If new app version breaks something, I'm reverting to previous app version and preventing it from updating. At some unknown point in time, if I want to test they've finally fixed what they broke, I will do that when I have free time. Other than that, I need my daily phone to work, period.

What version of the G app are you on?
Also on EdXposed, or regular Xposed grab sudohide.
You can hide any app from play store.
