I got the update to JB 4.1.1 two days ago, when i tested the voice search the voice that talks back was a female voice (UK), today i tried it again and for some reason the voice has changed to a male voice (UK), this is weird because there doesn't seem to be any way to change it back to a female voice, which i prefer, has anyone else found that the output voice has changed from female to male, or from male to female, also, is there a way to change this in the settings somewhere as i can't seem to find it, i'm running 100% stock JB 4.1.1.
Did you try running apply transgendered.Zip in cwm

You shouldn't complain, some of us don't even have voice feedback for Google search at all...
its all in the settings if you are stock it should work, if not its your issue not JB
Has anyone worked out what caused this yet? The same thing happened to me, first couple of days I had the female voice, but then without doing anything, it just started using a male voice. The female one was much better as it's clearer, especially on the low speaker levels the Galaxy Nexus has! Every bit helps.
As the OP, I'm running stock JB on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
I've heard that certain manufacturers had to use male voices in Germany because Germans refused to take directions from women.
True story.
True story.
Yes, I think the default voice for the US is the woman and for the UK the man. All other countries get the robot voice, but will hopefully be updated soon.
The thing is, the UK female voice from ICS was clearer and more legible than either the US female voice or the UK male voice on JB. And I liked the way it sounded kind of mean, and the haughty way it said "The Tor Net-wuuurk". Or maybe I should just get out more...
I too had this problem, but i was able to solve it by changing my system language to english us
:good: if helps..
