Hey guys,
I've had this issue intermittently on my S4 Active but my wife has it constantly on her regular s4. The keypad won't stay on during calls when you're trying to use an automated phone system. It's like the proximity sensor gets confused about how close you are. I've read a couple posts on different forums with other people asking the same question but nobody seems to have a solution other than disabling the screen off during call feature. Any guru's here know anything that could be helpful? I just put the Hyperdrive ROM on my phone and have noticed it more since the software change.
Hello there!
I was travelling through China last year and bought the P10 VTR-AL00 while I was there. I checked so that all the bands were supported in my home country of Sweden and it was all good.
I've had the phone for nearly 10 months now and love it so far. I haven't had any issues apart from one thing - when I'm in a call my microphone just stops working for a few seconds at a time. It usually happens after like a minute and then every minute or so after that (though, this varies). It's just temporary (like 3-5 seconds) but the person on the other end always thinks I've disconnected and asks if I'm there. The weird part is that it's just my microphone - I can still hear them loud and clear.
I've looked around in the settings to see if there's some gesture thing or whatever but I'm at a loss. Has anyone else had this issue? Or is there some feature/bug that I should be aware of?
If I recall correctly it has been like this since the beginning but I hoped that an update would fix it. That doesn't seem to be the case!
I appreciate any help!

Might be:
-Bug of your firmware, what version do you have? Maybe Check for updates via firmwarefinder
-Is Wifi Calling enabled or disabled?

Hey, thanks for the reply!
I'm on version VTR-AL00C00B217 . I've updated it a few times over the months I've had the phone. No new updates at the moment.
I looked around for WiFi calling but couldn't find it anywhere. Tried to search for it in settings and tried looking in the advanced settings but to no avail. It seems my version doesn't offer that. I found this thread where someone posted a photo of the "More" section of the settings page. It looked like this, whereas mine looks similar to this.
I have no issue with mobile data or Wifi connectivity by the way.
It is a bit embarrassing to admit, but I've had this with another device. It turned out that I sometimes accidentally covered the microphone with one of my fingers

Haha, yeah that's a possibility! I'll have to try that!
I tested recording myself with the sound recorder whilst covering up the microphone. On playback and when I covered up my microphone I only had signal in the left earphone but when I let go the channel switched to the right. Real strange. I'll be back when I've done some tests with calls
Hello all
I have purchased a Mini and a regular Ghome around Christmas last year . They have been working fantastically as far as recognizing commands and such.
Hue lights, Spotify music ...etc
The only problem that I have had was not being able to open Netflix on my Android TV(Sony) although it works with a Chromecast. Nobody was able to explain why, but I could live with that
Recently (past 2 months or so) the voice recognition got so bad to the point that I would go and grab my phone and do whatever command I wanted (mostly turning on and off the lights).
Unlike initially when I could say it across the room (Hey Google turn the bedroom lights off) , now it keeps on saying "Sorry I cannot help with that" and so on. Or it would be picking up a totally random word and screw up the whole sentence. I have not changed anything in my setup, i have reset the bejesus out of all my equipment with no luck.
It became so frustrating but what is even more frustrating is that I have no clue what caused it.
Tried closer, literally yelling from right above it with no success. It would take it let's say, out of 10 attempts maybe 2 will be going through, unless I get pissed and drop it altogether. This is happening on both the Mini and the "big" Ghome.
Has anyone experienced the same issues with their devices lately? If yes have you guys been able to fix it or it's just one of the Google screwups that will be fixed whenever will be fixed?
The Google reps when chatting are useless and keep giving me useless troubleshooting steps that I have already done.
Funny thing is that if I say the same commands to my phone it takes it right away .
Thank you for your input

Hmm, I have about the same, but no fix here either. The timeline sounds about right too, about 2 months or so. Same with my Hue lights. I don't have my Hue account hooked up in my Home app since Goog Voice is supposed to work natively with Hue lights with a bridge. I was thinking of maybe adding my Hue account into my Home app and see if that helps. Haven't quite gotten to it yet. :angel:
Same here
Voice Recognition
Yes it's true as the time pass by the voice recognition is getting worse recently when i said to turn off the light of my room it did but after saying 3 - 4 times but now it turn off the entire light of my house.
Google home not performing
I have used the home during 2017 and it was very good in picking up what I say. During 2018 the hearing abilities has been very effected and hard reset and starting over did not solve it.
I moved mine to the end table at like 3ft off the ground it's Mic being on top hear much better now. No more telling or repeating myself
Sounds very familiar. Especially my wife has been getting tantrums because GH doesn't understand her. (Insert joke about not understanding wife)
Hi people I've got unlocked note 9 on BTU but been having problems with Google assistant not constantly opening with my voice even thou I've redone the voice loads of time. Also when Dolby atmos is on when i say ok Google it will open up and then it will type *ok Google* again as if that's what i was saying to it. Anyone encountered those problems? And biometrics not always recognising me 100% of the time.
Also have GA not always hearing me and having to repeat the command. Biometrics, iris and face, again not being 100 % reliable so I just left the fingerprint active. Interesting about Dolby, with it off ok google not typed on screen?

I'm hoping it's the 8.1 being a little buggy. No when its switched off it don't write ok Google on the screen.
I'm having the exact same issue, with it typing OK Google also. Wasn't aware this was connected to Dolby Atmos but will try and test with it on and off.
This is definitely a Note 9 issue as previously with my note 8, the Google assistant would respond quickly from across the room and accurately.
The Note 9 seems to have a 2 second delay and doesn't accurately pick up what I'm saying the majority of the time. Could this be a microphone issue?

Maybe it's a ploy of Samsung's, you get frustrated with Google Assistant and start using Bixby
Ok just another question as my assistant is installed why does Google play show install Google assistant?
Hi I bought a Xiaomi Mi9 not even a month ago.
These days I found a really annoying problem, my Mi9 unlocks itself in my pocket. I state that I have done all the possible tests, that is with and without double tap, with and without unlocking via mi band4, with and without lifting option, password, fingerprint and face detection. Trying various combos (thinking that maybe some of them would conflict with each other) I arrive at the same conclusion. Start the emergency keypad on your own, or if I receive notifications it even opens me up or I find myself navigating through my apps.
This is the main problem.
I have found other problem, like if I talk at the phone, I put the auricle in the right ear, everything is ok, while if I move it in the left ear I no longer feel anything. (proximity sensor
defective ultrasonic?)
Another problem that perhaps seems to have solved was that of bluetooth devices, the saved devices menu was missing. With a reset I fixed the problem at the time.
The fingerprint detector every 10 attempts, 3-4 never go through if the screen is in total standby, while if you wake up the screen in any way and then use the fingerprint it always works.
The most important thing I would like to solve is that of unlocking in my pocket, it particularly bothers me. I read that in June they had to fix this option, optimize it, but apparently it doesn't seem improved. I know that here the pocket mode is automatically inserted compared to other devices. But apparently it doesn't work at all.
I have the device correctly updated.
Help me discover something more or at least solve this problem and sorry for my bad english i'm italian boy =P

Ciao,
I've got exactly the same problems, someone please let us know if there is a proper solution out there!

Hi
Which firmware, rooted or unrooted?
I can recommend to root and use firmware of xiaomi.eu
If you have the latest firmware with pocket mode included your only two options to fix the pocket unlocking’s are: 1. Get at flip cover. 2. Delete all fingerprints and use another unlock option like face recognition or so. This will also get you noticeably better battery hours.
The speaker problem I think is a problem with the position. It is very critical that you put the tiny speaker hole exactly in front of your ear opening, a couple of millimetres aside will make the sound almost silent. This is if you by feel mean hear. Try to hold the phone at an angle out from you face with the upper part pointing to your ear and move the phone up and down to se if you can hear better.

Let me suggest a fix for the fingerprint issue.
Turn off the show "fingerprint on lockscreen option"
There really isn't a pocket mode for the mi9 because of the in-display fingerprint reader
About the "unlocking in your pocket" issue, I think you should try a different unlocked method, maybe a password to see if it's still there, and also ensure you don't have "On body detection" enabled in settings.
where did you buy it?
