My very new TCL Flip Pro was working great, but now the mobile hotspot and the voice to text (KaiVA) is not working. Does anyone know what's up? Thank You.

Arturo,

Thank you for you response. Please read the previous posts on this trouble. I have already gone through the trouble shooting process with numerous Verizon support folks. I don't believe this problem is  specific to my phone. Other TCL Flip Pro users have the same problem.  I have spoken with a TCL support person and was told there is a software change that resulted in KaiVA no longer working. I am hoping someone at Verizon will contact TCL and work with them to find a solution.

Thank you.

I figured out a fix for my phone by myself; no thanks to Verizon tech support.  It is a Kai software issue and there is an update available.  This issue has been outstanding for me since 4/1/23. I hope that other users can figure it out for themselves, since they probably won't get any help from Verizon support.

I posted a support request and have been contacted by numerous - different - Verizon support techs and each time I've been contacted, I've been asked if I've gone through the trouble shooting app. I suggest that tech support staff please read the trouble threads and please assign the  trouble to one person who can - and will - track down the problem.

I've been a Verizon mobile customer for over two decades. This is not good support.

BobbyReed is right. I also accidentally got a fix to this issue yesterday. I checked software updates, and was notified that our TCL Flip Pro software was up to date. Also searched for updates, none available. Then, on a whim, I tried voice to text again. AMAZINGLY, (yes truly), a message appeared that there was an update to the voice assistant. I clicked on the update button, and now the voice to text works. This is not a way to 'run an airline', as the old commercial stated, or a communication company either.

Hello Cheyenne,

The mobile hotspot problem was a user issue that I figured out on my on.  The voice to text problem continues.

I have opened a support request with Verizon and have spoken/texted with several support folks unable to help me. I am supposed to hear back for someone , but as of yet no one has called.

Since opening the support request, I have continued to look for a solution and spoke with a TCL support person and I was told that it is a software issue. They could not tell be if or when it would be fixed. I bought this phone recently and the voice to text was a major reason for keeping it. It worked fine until about 4/1. I hope it gets resolved soon.
