Voice Action

[jebhick]

My voice action does not work.  What gives

[Wildman]

Im sorry that is isnt working but on the same not just saying it isnt working isnt enough to give you a correct answer, do you can to share your situation in more details?

OK When I hold the mag. glass icon in the lower left down the google search comes up ans directs to me to speak.  I speak, but then it time out as it does not hear me.  Same thing when I use the mic icon in the type entry mode.  The speak comes up and then times out.  When I press the help to the left of the dialogue box all it tells me is how to use the app with no help as to why it is not working.  I tried to get rid of the voice app, but it seems to be tied to the software.  I just got the phone as a replacement for my old motorola droid.

Sorry, the mag glass/search icon I am using is on the lower right of the phone!

• Have you checked the mics volume?. (Check Settings / Sounds / Volume)
• Does the mike animation react when you speak? (Try dialing a number and turning up volume with side button)
• Do you have a bluetooth paired and on when attempting to use? (Some bluetooth do not work with the Voice Apps)
• Did it work correctly on previous device?
• Can you get it to work if you place device closer to your face?

There is no animation like a scope trace like I had with my precious droid.

Have not checked the mic volume setting. Can't right now, because the damn

thing went dead. Second night in a row I did not make it through the day.

So now I have to check the battery usage (an improvement I might add) to see

what gives. It may be that the on-off button now being on the side of the

unit touches the holder during the day. Not an improvement I might add.

I constantly used voice on my old droid. Never did use the type input except

for names.

have u chkd in your settings - bottom left, menu button on phone- look for settings, then voice input to see if "personalized recognition is "on" and/or language set to "ENG"?  have u added other apps since acquire phone? And/or have u set any actvtities in smart actions app preloaded on phone?  Is your razr new or refurb? - u mention replacement-.. Are u truly wanting to use voice actions or did it come up by way of holding "search key" too long?

[jebhick]

This problem is not fixed or anwered.  My voice action does not work either on the mag glass search ikon or on the mic on the key board.

[jebhick]

checking on all the queries from wildman and stevgnex.  thanks!

[jebhick]

Went thru all the suiggestions.  Now seems to be working, but I don't know what changed! Thanks to you two!
