Using Voice dial over Google Now and Bluetooth, it seems to accept my commands, then do nothing with them. For instance, "call my wife" ..."Calling"...nothing. Never dialed or attempted to. It works about one in three times. Has anybody else experienced this?

Every time my wife calls she says she can't hear me for perhaps 2-3 seconds after I think the call has connected.. My previous phone did not do this, but the Nexus One does.
Anyone heard of this, and have any suggestions? I have Google Voice call on by default, but she's calling my cell number so I don't think it'd affect anything. As far as I can tell, the call is connected, but she can't hear me say anything for several seconds. I usually wind up going "Hello? Hello? Hello?" and she finally answers.
Glad to see I am not the only one this happens to..well not glad but i just hope this means its not just my phone.
I know when they call one of my numbers (either Google Voice or Cell Phone # not sure which) it says incoming call from <Name> press 1 to answer and press 2 to send to voicemail
@sandtiger
this is from google voice it is a filter setting you can change by going to to the setting on the google voice website.
But this is a different issue (im assuming) then the OP

Yeah, I think I muddied the waters mentioning Google Voice, but these are calls directly to me cell number..
I might try disabling Google Voice just for S&G just to see what happens.. Seems when I place calls, they're connected when I expect them to be, but the delay could be more critical when answering.
I haven't yet, but going to try calling myself from my work phone to see what kind of delay I'm hearing.
I am having this problem also...did you ever find a solution?
Using BT headset by any chance?
In that case, it's normal.
Nope, no headset. Just the phone.
I need to test some more, but I think this has gone away for me.. Delay answering, plus the other party was "dropping out" often, ie: if it got quiet on their end, their voice disappeared entirely, and sometimes faded in or out while doing so.
Only thing I've changed is I disabled Google Voice as being my default call method, but this thread is about answering calls so I doubt it matters, especially since the calls were directly to my cell number not my GV number.
I might turn GV back on the way I had it and test some more, but maybe it was something weird with AT&T?
Im noticing this problem too, both on 2.1 and 2.2.
It seems to be a problem specific to AT&T N1's.
I also experience this. I've adjusted to swiping the answer button, pausing, then saying "Hello." I typically pause about 0.75 or 1 full second, and rarely do I need to do it longer.
The opposite seems to be true of the vibrate-on-connect feature: about 1 second after the person picks up, then the phone vibrates in my hand. How is that useful?! =P
I am setting up both my and my wife''s phone on Google voice. This is what I am running into:
setup
Both phones set to use Google Voice for calling and voice mail
Both phones do have the Google Voice number in the address book for each other.
The Issues
The scenario for these is letting it go to voice mail.
Sometimes on the calling phone, I do not hear a ring from the other phone, and nothing from the answering voice mail either. If I hold on for a bit listening, finally hang up, then the phone called will get a blank voice mail. The phone I am calling from continues to say 'Dialing' until I hang up. This seems to be happening on only one of the phones. (May find otherwise with more testing).
On the phone being called, when I try to use the slide up to have it send a message when rejecting a call, (for example "Sorry, will call you back",) the message is never received on the other end. Of course I would expect that message to go to Google Voice. Is that set to use SMS only? (I do not have SMS service). This happens no matter which phone is calling the other. Never is the message received. I have not tested it with a phone calling that in fact has SMS capability.
Any thoughts?
I've experienced a couple of problems recently and I'm not sure if it's a bug or something they changed with the last update. I'm on 4.4.2 with Sprint.
Previously, when I tried to call a business (i.e. "Call Pizza Hut"), it would find it via Google Now and make the call. Recently, I've noticed that if the business is not listed in my contacts, it will try to call one of my contacts.
Also, if there's a contact with more than one phone number, it used to give you a prompt to confirm whichever number you're trying to call. Now, it just calls the default number.
Has anyone else noticed this and do you know of a fix?

Unfortunately, I have the same exact issue on Republic Wireless (Sprint MVNO) 4.4.2 and haven't found a solution....
Strangely, the issue seems to come and go. Additionally, the voice recognition is WAYYY off....it will try to call a contact that doesn't even sound like who I'm trying to call.
My solution is to instead, turn the screen on, then hit the microphone icon (top right corner). From there if you say "Call Pizza Hut", it seems to work 100% of the time.
I agree that the issue is quite irritating. Hopefully a future update to Touchless Controls fixes this.
It will be interesting to see if those on later android versions also experience the same issue...
Are you also experiencing the 2nd problem?
Voice recognition doesn't seem to be an issue for me.

Nope, just confirmed -- tried to call a contact with 2 numbers in phonebook (cell & home) and the phone responded:
"I found two matches. Say the name after you hear the one you want to call. 'Person' home. 'Person' cell."

Yea, that's what mine used to do. Now it just calls the top number.
Hi
I searched and couldn't find an existing threat to this, thats why I ask.
I got a replacement Not4 after I had a bunch of problems. Since I work internationally I use Google Voice a lot.
I pushed the update out as far as I could until I gave in last week. What a mistake.
I have extreme lags, keyboard freezes, and Google voice stopped working. I can not make international calls with Voice.
I am not offered the choice to use it. It automatically uses Tmobile. If I force it, same result. I know many people had the problem,
but everyone fell silent. Was there a solution I did not get?
Any help is greatly appreciated
If you root the phone you can install a 5.0.1-based ROM that works with Google Voice. I'm running Rapture on my phone for that very reason.
Two options with your current rom:
Use Google Hangouts to dial your calls. This will use data instead of voice minutes, and the call quality may be different.
Or, install Voice Choice 2.0 and have it force all calls to be dialed through your GV number. It takes longer to dial calls this way, and your outgoing call log will only show your GV number, not the numbers you actually called.
Details on the Voice Choice method can be found in this thread. (Search the thread for Voice Choice.)
Google and T-Mobile know about this issue and we can only hope they are working on a solution.
Anyone else seeing this? Sometimes if someone call my gv number my phone will ring other times it will go right to voicemail? No pattern I see with it
Me too I need help
