Hi there!! Strange behavior in my Note 3 SM-9005 with Havoc-OS 3.7 using voice match - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First, I asked this question in the Havoc download forum and seems to be in this one so here I go again, I´m from Spain and my english is quite short so please be gentle if I do something wrong, there´s nothing that I could teach or contribute, only my experience like a noob user.
I´m a normal user and it´s quite amazing for me that I did what Havoc-OS intructions said for installation and run at the first time, so good for you that made that a guy like me did not brick my Note 3 :angel:
I´ll try to explain what I did since my phone has Havoc 3.7 last weekend :
My note 3 is running, all the things that I use to work with is running fine, I checked almost everything and from wifi, phone calls, sms in and out, gps, google maps, music, mp3 (I play guitar and sometimes I use the phone to practice), I also changed the ring tone with one created by myself (and ACDC cover...), like I said almost everything is running like new, what it´s bothering me and I try to fix (because I´m stubborn) is the google assistant, it has happened to you that only a tiny thing is not running and even you don´t need it you have the need to how to fix it? That´s what is happening to me.
I can use the google assistant and the kindly girl answer me what I ask when I play the button but it´s impossible to me to get voice match configuration to use Ok Google, and I received near 60 messages each day with error trying to connect.
I try everything (in Havoc forum a kindly member advise me to clear data and cache) and did not fix it, I uninstalled google and google assistant and installed again and always when I try to go to Ok google/voice configuration my phone try to connecto to internet and shows "Connection problem, check your connection and try again"
This is not a big problem for me because I´ve been 4 days using my phone with all the features that I need but this small problem has got a personal matter between my phone and me...and being serious, whith all the forum pages that I read in english my head is nearly to explode.
Thank you if you read this stupid story and thanks in advance if you could lead me to the solution because I feel that my phone is laughing at me!!

First fo all I want to say thanks to the member Atrankas to give me some advices to fix my problem, seems to be that there´s no people with this issue.
To update the information if it could be useful, I followed Atrankas advice and I made a clean installation but this time I use the pico Gapps, for some reason the nano Gapps gave problems to me with Google play and google asisstant and the microphone did not work properly.
Now I can use the assistant but I cannot get the voice configuration, the button appears in grey and when I try to make the Voice match the system shows me a screen configuration looking for wifi and shows an error.
Maybe is my phone problem or rather my problem because I don´t know how to do it...but I´ll try to find a solution, if I find something interesting I´ll come here to give information.

Thank you very much, now I know is not a Rom problem (cannot find users with the same problem that fixed it), I like a lot this rom and runs like a charm, the configurations options are endless and now I have my old note 3 like new for my needs
I took the opportunity flashing a few differents roms, some of them with android 9.x and the problem remains so I´ll check what you told me and see what happens, but I don´t want to flashing more roms because I´m not experience enough and don´t want to brick my note 3...again!!

To update my research and if it´s usefull, I tryed everything I read online, in this forum (if there´s a solution I could not find it or not runs in my phone) and outside...in google assistant forum thread there´s a lot of people with the same problem so I quit searching
I tryed so many things and flashed so many different roms that finally I bricked my note 3 trying to find a solution installing whatever I found when I had everything running and configured perfectly...
So I did a clean install from android 5.0 and I flashed the Havoc-OS 3.7 rom again, maybe a next google assistant update fix the issue.
Now I need a couple of beers...if someone find the solution, please join me!! :highfive:

Well...continuing with my lonely conversation, I don´t know why but I just tried to start Ok Google and surprisingly my Note 3 took me to voice recognition and now is running!! Why? How? don´t have an explanation, I have the updates disconnected and I only installed Microsoft teams app lately for my job purposes this morning and maybe I´m haunted by ghosts because I did nothing, only check the google assistant sometimes to check the Voice match...
Only with Wifi cannot use Ok google because send me to wifi error because cannot get ssid but that´s fine, I love Havoc Os and finally it´s running.
But in my job I use to say, I never trust anything that fix by it self...so We will see

Hey @Bacilus dantracis . After researching the log provide by the google app I actually found the problem. I guess with Android 10 google limit the user app to access the privacy data, so even Google Assistant made by them it cant access the the trained voice data which is used to trigger the app.
In our case, Google app is installed via play store(not included in nano/pico gapps) so it is recognized as user app instead of as system app like the in the stock factory OS.
The solution is very simple. Just make the Google app as system app. It must be in /system/priv-app/ folder. I tried to move it to /system/app but it is still not working, after more investigation I realized that the apps on priv-app have more permission access. After I move the app "Ok Google" command work flawlessly( On Wifi, I didn't put simcard on my note3)
You can move it manually or use Apps Systemizer module on magisk to do that. Hope it'll for you too

This is one of the things that I´d like to understand, I´m totally noob but I like to know the "why" of things, with my limits
I´ve been looking into my phone settings some things but consciously I did not change anything without testing and then going back to avoid screw something because I use a lot my phone in my job (and now It´s amazing how it works!), so thinking about it, could be that I changed anything that made the assistant works...this use to happen touching things without knowledge...some times fix it, sometimes don´t (and brick is one of the things I´m scared!)
Now it´s time to bed for me my friend, but tomorrow I´ll check word by word your post to try to learn more about this issue and understand what has happened, not because I need this feature (only when driving is more useful to me), just to learn how this works. (and for fun!!)
Thanks for your support, now I know that what is not in this forum is not outside.
cheers!!
P.S.remember I´m from Spain and my english is a little bit slippery!!

Activation

dear experts
i recieved a G2 HERO unit from a freind,
he was palying with it and then it write on LCD,PLz login with ur google account to unlock screen.
this unit he bought second hand ,he donno any account, also no internet connection,
so, if i make hardrest and formated it, i think it will ask for registration as old dreamG1 phones
anyway to bypass it without have internt or data plan,
i already searched a lot , but not find anything help
best regards
thx in adavnce
I could tell you how to get round the pattern lock that is asking you for the Google account information (I presume this is what the issue is - the pattern of dots you need to draw on the screen)
But... If I write the instructions on clearing the pattern lock here, someone else could come along here in future and read the instructions on removing the lock and use it on a stolen phone.
I notice you have been a user on XDA for a while, so I trust you, but I don't really think it is responsible to tell anyone how to get round the pattern lock (being as you can then access all the messages/contacts on the phone), due to potential for mis-use by someone else in future.
Hope you understand.
PS. What I will say is that I am not aware of any need to activate the phone (I've got a G2 and didn't need to activate it at all. It did ask me for a Google account, but that was optional and only for syncing calendar, contacts & mail etc.
if you can operate google you can find the necessary information to bypass the lockscreen anyway. a hardreset is suggested, you want a clean phone, not the one your precessor customized for his needs, do you? so just reset it, and the lock will be gone with the reset... there is no need to have a google account, but keep in mind that you won't be able to use the market (and other minor stuff) without a google account...
Yeah. That's what I alluded to, but forgot to write- just do a hard wipe to get rid of it.
@kendon for some reason, people don't seem to know the method. The number of times I've seen it asked on other forums is ridiculous, yet it is sooooo easy to find out. Hint: Google is your friend.
hello
thx for ur replay and trust
i really appriacte
i will call freind to bring, its my turn to play now
best regards
thx in advance

Oh god... It's not this bad on modaco though . Damn. Now I've mentioned the forum, I bet you we start getting this kind of thing over there (it never seems to be so bad over there, being as most are there for MCR so are competent in rooting etc.)
I'm pulser on modaco btw, but some no-posts user has taken my name. Might do what you did and go for pulser_g2 or something like that and start again...

CoPilot favourites not saving

Hey all,
Any Copilot users here? Are you able to create any new favourite locations? The process all seems to go through properly for me but then no favourite is created, even my recent destinations doesn't update itself, it's like something isn't able to be written to. Anyone else?
I'm using OD 3.1.0
Thanks
Russ
I'm sorry to say, but if you bought copilot you have to contact the official support. If you did NOT buy it: GO AWAY - these requests are not wanted in here!
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Woah there horsey, that's a big assumption! Someone needs to decrease their righteousness.
I did indeed buy it, no dodgy copies here and I have contacted support directly but sometimes knowledgeable people with faster response times can be found on here.
i have no problems saving favorits on my copilot, im using version 8.2.0.218, i dont know if this is of any help but if you run copilot without the gps on it dosent seem to save anything you do
Same version here, GPS is definitely on too. Could be an Opendesire ROM issue maybe?

try clearing the data & cache in settings/applications, see if that helps
That was the first thing I tried. Then I uninstalled and even deleted the folder from the SD Card and reinstalled from scratch downloading the maps again and everything...no luck

maybe you should try a diffrent rom then sorry i cant help more, but its defo working on mine
Thanks anyway, appreciate the input. Lets hope an OD user stumbles upon this thread
I'm going to make a suggestion here, now don't think am saying this is better than that but have you tried sygic mobile maps instead? I use it myself and it's available from the HTC store so does that say anything for it?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I had this on my Hero when I took the sim out so can't really help. I tried NDrive when my Copilot expired (even though I purchased it months ago) and didn't like it at all (the UI wasn't very polished). Good luck if you contact Copilot support, they aren't the quickest.
I had that problem, updated to version v8.2.0.251, and the problem seems sorted.
Ooh yeah just noticed a new release today, has fixed it for me too, must have been a bug.
On a loosely related note...do you still have the option to turn off the "Welcome to Copilot Live" speech greeting when you start it? Seems to have disappeared on mine or I forgot where it is
No, lost the option to turn that off, along with the annoying beep every time you select something.
Same here...I'll send a message on twitter to their support
Good Luck,
I did report these as a problem by email a couple of weeks ago, and they notified me about the update 4 days ago. At least they solved the major problem in my eyes, only two more to go.

SM-G7109 bought in China without Google Services
Hi. I'm new here.
I recently bought Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 SM-G7109 in China (China Telecom).
To my surprise, it doesn't have any Google services pre-installed
I went to the shop and the staff somehow installed Gmail on it. So I have all the contacts now
The staff also installed Play Store but it doesn't work. It doesn't crash but it responses as if there's no connection
I also noticed that Calendar won't sync no matter how many times I try to sync manually.
It gives an error message, "unfortunately calendar has stopped".
Gmail seems to be syncing somehow but not so often...
If possible, I want all the Google services work normally.
I searched on the internet but can't find a good solution.
Will the method using the files like "com.android.vending-3.1.3-signed.apk" work for my device?
If you have any advice, I would really appreciate it.
Network Disconnecting Problem
Hi
I brought a Grand 2 last month in the showroom I did not check it with two sims I had put only one sim. Now when I am putting in the second sim the and chose the network mode to WCDMA & GSM auto connect or WCDMA then the internet as well as the network keeps on disconnecting off and on. But in the GSM mode every thing works fine. I went to the service center twice but it did not help. I changed the sim cards as well as the sim slots but nothing worked. Can any one please help me out? I will be very grateful and thankful for it. This has upset me a lot. Once again thanks in advance.

Thank you for your reply. But I think my phone(SM-G7109) can not be rooted yet. Besides, I already have Gmail the shop staff installed for me.
Is there any way Google Store, Google Map, Google Calendar to work normally without root? Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. Yes, I know it should be supported, but since it's sold in China (China Telecom Model), No Google service is pre-installed. And I did try installing Google Play apk file but it didn't work, just as I mentioned before, it continues to show "retry" button as if there's no internet connection.

Hello Bro...
That's Samsung Problem They put so much bloatwares due to which performance will be effected...Clean the RAM and Background application before you start the game...that might solve to certain extant... Sometimes even updates can cause issues with Games Compatibility... See weather internal memory is Low?? if it is then it might cause problems these are some tips.. Most issue can be solved by Rooting since we can remove bloatwares...
I Hope this Helps Bro....
Good Luck....

[WORKAROUND] Waze storage issue

Hey guys!
Finally received my Nova and I was isntalling some apps it. I installed Waze just to see that it occupies 12 gig from my storage! WTF?! Hahahaha
Someone aware of this and how to solve it? For now, I just uninstalled it and downloaded just gogle Maps.
EDIT:
The problem seems to be related with specific language packs. For workaround this issue you must be rooted. Just download another language pack for your language (or another language that suits you), go to /data/data/com.waze/waze/sound/ and removes the folder related to the default language pack and see if it solves for you. For brazilian guys, Alessandra language pack causes this, now I'm with Mario language pack and I don't have the storage issue anymore.
EDIT 2:
It seems that waze download default voice pack everytime you reopen it, even if other is selected. Then the storage issue happens again. You just have to remove what it re-download
EDIT 3:
I just found out an ultimate fix for this bug. Inside the folder of the bug voice pack, there are some files with 0 B.
Go to the folder of the alternative voice pack you downloaded (if you don't, then do) and replace this 0 B with the other! BANG, PROBLEM SOLVED FOREVER (APPARENTLY)
Jup.. me to... I thought what is the cause of my low storage - BAM! Waze is taking 8.5gb of internal memory. Reinstalled but after some time the same.
Had 'B100' software, got OTA to 'B140' today now reinstalled waze, will see what will happen.

Your model is the european or the chinese? Mine is chinese, CAZ-TL10. Maybe there is something to do with this. Obviously it doesn't occupies this much, it is an error with reading app storage. For me, it become displaying the wrong storage after downloading voices.
I'm thinking in trying to installing the european firmware and see if things go better that way.

Hmmm I'll try.
Strange because in my victara, waze is just fine. But I'll try to contact the team
I contacted Waze's team, but they verified that it wasn't waze's bug. In other words, it is a EMUI bug.

I'm on a LG G3, same problem here... So I thing it is a Waze bug.
OnePlus 3T here, Waze taking up ~10.5 GB. Cleared data and all, but after I signed in it went back to ~10 GB.
I have a workaround for this issue. Check the OP
Maybe if you report this "fix" to the waze team, they can figure it out what's wrong and fix it!

I have a Honor 8 and been having this issue as well. Since my phone isn't rooted the solutions I've found online haven't been applicable to my device. I emailed waze support team and they said they didn't have a permanent solution for this issue yet. However they asked me to help them out with some logs I debug mode. While I was doing this I managed to avoid the issue were waze starts to consume so much space. Try the instructions below and see if it works for you too.
1. Uninstall waze
2. Change your standard language on you phone to English.
3. Install waze, log in and leave it running.
4. While waze is still running, go to your phone settings again and change your default language back to what you prefer.
5. Manually change waze language to the same as on your phone.
6. Exit waze app and restart it. You should now have the your preferred language on both your phone and in the waze app and the storage waze consumes should not be more that around 150 MB.
Good luck and hope this can help some of you with this issue. Feel free to ask questions about this and I'll try to help out more (even though I'm just an ordinary user).

Google Dialer with Call Screen?

Has anyone attempted to use The Google Dialer and get call screening working? Wasn't sure if anyone had yet, but was curious. I'd gotten it working on my 6T and 7 Pro, but understand the development has been very different for our device.

I couldn't get call screening working granted I didn't exactly try that hard to get it working. Just systemized the dialer app and flashed Google dialer framework magisk module
Idk what else is needed to make it work.
I bet I can get it working. I remember a
the thread for the OnePlus 7 Pro about call screening, everyone said that it wasn't working, I had mine up and running without any problems. Currently I'm waiting for my unlock token from OnePlus, so I can't confirm if this method will work, but I'll tell you exactly what I did before and I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work now. Try it out and then let me know if it works or not. It doesn't, maybe we can come up with a workaround.
The version number of the dialer that you use is critical. New versions of the Google dialer from the Play store via Google Framework do not work. Here's the link to the APK that I used:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...le-phone-39-0-270797297-android-apk-download/
The initial steps I performed were downloading the Magisk modules Busybox for NDK, Google Framework, and App Systemizer alongside installing Preferences Manager from the Play Store.
Then I cleared the storage for the stock dialer app, denied all of its permissions, and finally disabled it. Then I used App Systemizer to convert the Google Dialer into a system app. When App Systemizer gives you the option to install either the app as a 1 - system app or 2 - priv-app, always choose number 2. Then make sure to go into system settings and choose the Google Dialer as the default dialer app, otherwise icall screen won't work at all. Also go ahead and clear Google Dialer's storage while enabling all of it's permissions. Also go under Apps & Notifications in the system menu and choose special app access. Enable the Google Dialer to draw over other apps, modify system settings, and have usage access.
Next open up Preferences Manager. Grant it superuser access and from options choose "show system apps". Scroll down the list until you come to where you start seeing entries for "phone". On my old OnePlus 7 Pro, the one to choose was the first one listed as "phone". It didn't have an icon next to it versus the stock Dialer app which did. When you open this option up, swipe from left to right until you get to the heading "dialer_phenotype_flags.xml". First, choose backup under the menu in case there's a problem afterwards and you need to restore the flags to their previous settings. Then go to the search field and search for all the flags with "speak_easy", "speakeasy", "call_screen", and "callscreen", then update all of these flags with values of "true".
The way to determine if this procedure worked is to now open up ithe Google Dialer and choose the three dot menu and choose "Settings". You should see an option listed for "Call Screen". If you do see it then the process worked.
Let me know if you need any further information but I think that should work.

Just finished trying this, worked like a charm! Thank you so much! This was the only thing making me consider going back to my pixel 3a xl, but now it's clear that you can have the best of both worlds!
Should we post this in the Mods category for this device? I know a lot of people would be happy to have this!
First off I'm so glad to hear that it worked for you! It's a pretty nifty feature and I personally think it's pretty cool.
To be honest with you, that was pretty much my first time ever posting anything to XDA. Most of the time I just go through the forums and tried to get new features to work on my phone, but hardly ever participate in the actual discussions
if you honestly think this could help other XDA members get this up and running, I'd love to help. But to be honest with you I'm not really familiar with starting a thread and stuff like that. If you don't mind, could you tell me what I need to do to do that? Is that like starting a new thread somewhere in the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren edition discussions? I'm an absolute total new when it comes to posting and forums and discussion groups, and I have no idea what the protocol is for doing something like that. I'd really appreciate it if you could kind of guide me in the right direction or make some suggestions as to how I go about doing it.
Well, just to reiterate, I'm really excited that it work for you and hopefully we can get it to work for other people as well. Just respond to this message and let me know what I can do to help. Thanks again!

Personally, running a year old version of Google Dialer just to get Call Screen isn't worth it. Have you tested Call Screen to see if it actually fully works? Or if in reality the person calling hears nothing at all?

I've been running it with no issues on OOS and it works perfectly fine. Tested call screening and it works perfectly fine. Personally, I think it's worth it.
I'm running AOSiP now and I've yet to test it there. But OOS is confirmed to be working with it.
Has anybody been able to make it work on any of the custom ROMs? I tried smreker's steps on aosip but I couldn't get Google dialer to install. Just finished flashing lineage and aside from the fingerprints, this thing is running like it's good enough to say bye bye to oxygen.

I was testing today on aosip ROM and it did not work. The caller can't hear the Google assistant voice. I'm going to be looking into this more to see why it works on stock ROM, but not a customer ROM..
Aosip ships with Google dialer pre-installed, so you need to use debloat magisk module to uninstall it, and then reinstall it with the older APK file.. I may have messed up the installation on my end, so any other testing from other users would be greatly appreciated. I may reach out to the developers to see if they can figure out what I may be missing.
I never reinstalled another dialer app, so that could have something to do with it. However, I don't see why that would be the case, but you never know with these things. Thinking about it now, I didn't remove telophony apps on the phone either, so that could also have something to do with it? Any ideas?

Followed new instructions, option appears, but caller still can't hear and there's no transcription on my end :/
Currently running on AOSiP ROM, latest build (August)

I'm trying to think of the different variables that could affect it, maybe something I did, that I didn't mention. Did you disable your stock dialer? Cause I tried it to today and it works super, transciptions and everything. Nothing should be different than the previous instructions, besides spoofing the device fingerprint. Maybe try disabling it and clearing data and then enabling it again?
Edit: I just read your previous posts. Never mind the stock dialer. This new method works with the latest Google phone update, so maybe try reverting your stock dialer back and then updating it?

I'm on AOSiP which ships with Google Phone Dialer by default. Could that be my problem?

That's a little beyond my expertise. I can only describe what I did, and those steps made it work for me. I haven't heard any other reports of it not working or working so we shall see. I'm thinking that the downloads for call screening are corrupted for you or something, if you're saying that the audio is not working, if you could clear that and start the process afresh?
