High quality English voice TTS missing - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I factory reset my phone and when going to install the high quality voice, I noticed it is missing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled TTS but it's still gone. Anyone else experience this?

I figured it out. I had to uninstall the latest update for Google TTS and install the high quality voice and then reinstall the Google TTS. Weird workaround that's for sure.

Thank you for this - been trying to figure it out myself. Maybe they're phasing it out (making it default?).

Possibly but I'd say no. 224mb is a bit for some budget phones to handle unless there was a way to move it to SD. I wonder if it's missing in kit Kat. If not chalk it up to another lollipop bug.

After updating I think the high quality voice is still better. I only tested it with the listen to a sample feature to test it.

Market Fix for Leaked Froyo

Install it via rom manager or clockwork. Backup prior to doing so.
If things do not show up immediatly, try installing some random app and see if it populates then.
Otherwise, it will happen the next time the market data sync with the phone.

are there any reasons not to do this? will this lead to bad dependencies? incorrectly installed applications?
What problems can this cause? Is this fixable?

A. This isn't Redhat, circa 1997. Android doesn't work that way.
B. Either they install, or they don't.
C. Problems it can cause? It can prevent Incredible only and/or Verizon only applications from showing up. I don't forsee that being an issue, ever so...
This is a simple build.prop change so that the market will show all paid apps.
Before:
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/212490:user/release-keys
(Market: wtf is this?)
After:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys
(Market: Oh hai, Nexus One!)
Thanks
This worked for me and I got the Documents to Go paid version which was the only thing that I was needing. I had some problems with it kicking me off the network and having to use wifi to connect. After a reboot I was back on the network though so I don't know if that had anything to do with adding this.
Out of curiosity is there a way that I can go back to what it was so that when the market gets fixed it would work like it is suppose to? I saw in the build.prop file what you changed and thought I could just change that back but I wanted to ask before I did.
Thanks so much for this.
This will break custom boot animations?

Thanks for this, one of my paid apps wasn't showing up, this did the trick!
Ok the reason I asked was because someone in ##incredibleroot said it would cause problems
Did they specify what?
Random text about causing problems from someone in IRC without a reason of what or why is pretty worthless.
adrynalyne,
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
Here is a new version that includes the streaming audio fixes.
http://www.4shared.com/file/RjEL6jSz/market_streaming_fix_froyo.html
To have the market checkin right away do the following so you don't have to wait or download any other BS apps.
1. Open the Phone app
2. Dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#* (2432546) ** When you type the last "*" what you typed will disappear.
3. Wait for the message on the notification bar to say "checkin succeeded."
4. All paid apps that were missing should be available.
Thanks.

I guess I'm the only one that has great streaming audio quality. I use Pandora and even before changing the audio quality setting to "High" it didn't sound bad. I wonder what that is that makes it hit or miss on these devices.
Anyways, I just wanted to point out that the AAC fix really slows the phone down a bit. It changed my quadrant scores from 1200's down to 790-800.
Just a FYI.
P.S. Thanks for the Market fix!
i have the htc music widget on my homescreen. after installing the update with the streaming audio fixes whenever i reboot my phone my music starts playing automatically. now when i remove the widget and reboot the music doesn't play.

Problem with that is you can't use it in pop up. Which I need for work. Main reason I buy devices with multi task/window. Hopefully someone will figure it out.
My calculator is not talking to me.
Something wrong with mine
[emoji3] [emoji2] [emoji1]
I've been able to somewhat narrow it down on my phone. I have accessibility turned on for both Pebble & Lastpass. If I turn both of those off my calculator will stop talking. Turn them back on & it's back at it

Ya I usually root my devices but I usually wait a couple weeks before doing so. But with no lag finally on a Samsung device in not sure if I will. Even though I probably will[emoji2]
Turned lastpass off and stopped talking. #confirmed
Turned off accessibility to augmented pro and calc stopped talking.
Don't have people or last pass and its still talking. Also other people reporting this issue are having problems with the s voice voice feedback greyed out in s voice settings. Turned out it was greenify for me. Uninstalled and calculator stopped talking and svoice started to. Hope this helps someone.
I had the same problem and have fixed it. I just went into applications
manager and force stopped Samsung text-to-speech engine. The calculator is no longer talking back to me. :good:
Yeah I have that problem too. I have tried everything mentioned here and it still keeps talking. It is not usable this way.
Update. Found out the problem. I am using the LG Bluetooth headphones and the BT reader app. I had to go in to accessibility and under services turn off the BT reader.

[FIXED]Microphone issue on custom ROM

On Android 10, there are some microphone issues seen on custom ROMs. I've used myself Evolution X 4.0 and saw it.
The problem is for sure not hardware related. The problem stops at some point after a reboot. When the microphone stops working again, it only gets fixed after a reboot.
I see a lot of people trying to fix that issue but no luck...
Usually, the microphone problems are:
• No voice message output on Facebook messenger
• No phone call capability
• Maybe more issues I've not found out yet
THIS FIX IS ONLY FOR SOFTWARE ISSUES WITH MICROPHONE. IT WON'T WORK IF IT IS A HARDWARE RELATED PROBLEM.
Instructions:
Just flash the zip using Magisk Manager.
DO NOT use TWRP because the installation will fail!
Cheers!?

This is strange. Because you can always disable google app mic permission, and there are mic problems in custom roms for our device and disabling google app mic permission fix the mic problem.
Try disabling using root or ask the rom developer for a fix. AFAIK disabling mic permission to google app will solve mic problem.

disable "ok google" in google home and you're good
Some ROMs have Google built in and you can't modify it's permissions. You'll have to find a way to delete it or use a different ROM.
Hi there. Any news about this fix? I resolved disabling "ok Google" in Google home but for me is important to have that enabled. May be some Android 9 rom can solve problem? Actually I have pixel experience Android 10 and mic random doesn't work. Thanks
::victory: works fine this ways! many thanks

Disabling microphone permission for the Google app, or switching off 'Hey Google' detection, stops the microphone working completely.
I'm on crDroid 6.3 with no GApps and I have the issue that the Mic is extremely loud for Instagram Live and other inApp recording. This is probably not related to this issue here?

Me too. Pixel Experience ROM for Redmi Note 7 (Lavender) has an issue where microphone does not work for Google's Recorder app. This module patch did not work, the issue still persists!
I am very frustrated, as this is only one issue out of many that @letsmakecakes definitely knows exists but (I assume) has trouble fixing. I am not sure if the language barrier between me and a lot of users on the XDA forums is making it harder to communicate my issues, as some have difficulty communicating in English.

How about the backround noise?

The most sad thing is that they do not fix any bug, they really do not care for anything anymore, they hardly realeze the security updates, which ofcourse doesn't include any bug fixes.

Mine still works. If you have changed some Google settings recently, perhaps this has affected it. If not, I would suggest doing each of the following before testing, and then going onto the next if it doesn't work.
1) Restart phone
2) Apply lastest update and restart.
3) Factory reset (painful I know)

General I have an X90 Pro+ in the UK - AMA

Can confirm it's blisteringly fast and the camera is amazing.
Quick updates.....
Not tested yet - android auto.
Can't make work - vibration notifications.
Origin OS, I presume?
Any problems with Google apps?
Yup latest Origin.
Full Google play etc. No Google stuff that doesn't work I've found.
Gpay working too.

Not sure why but my gpay is not working.
Btw it looks like we can't remove some chinese stuff via adb without root .Which is sad.
Yeah I found that with ADB.
So Gpay is odd. The app doesn't work (not ready yet updating error) BUT allowing my bank to add the card to Google pay via its own app worked and allows me to use it.

What's your thoughts on the battery life with the new processor? Does it last a day after heavy usage?

Not ready as updating or something. But after I added a card via my banks app, it will let me pay fine. Just need to choose Google pay in the NFC settings.
But you can’t launch the Wallet app and for example switch between different cards, right? Did you try to reinstall, delete the app data and so on?
Can you check the power consumption of single core and multi core in Geekbench using perfdog? i can lend you an account and tell you how to measure it. It's not difficult.

Cheers mate. Its my only missing piece of info before pulling the trigger on purchasing. Seems to be plenty of reviews out there focusing on the camera quality
Shame about AA and Gpay though. Any other quirks worth mentioning?
Could you make screenshots or a simple screen recording of the camera app and all its features? Especially
Video mode: Supported Resolutions and Framerates
LOG / Cine Video Mode: Supported Resolutions and Framerates
Portrait Video Mode: Supported Resolutions and Framerates
Also: How would you root? Vivo still does not allow bootloader unlocking afaik, and the glitch from X70 and X80 seems to be fixed.
Does the timeline in Google maps work? Thank you
By the way is your phone ringing when you get a call on messenger ? I can't manage to get it ringing . It only vibrates with the screen off .
