Question?

I've been poking around my phone and I noticed that when OM+ (v3.13) when active seems to be causing the Google search App to be generating a continuous stream of data over with and data. It's approximately 2 or 3 kilobytes per second. This low level of data immediately stops as soon as OM+ is turned off.

Is this normal?

Muted media remains

Muted media remains a problem on Note 3 n900a 4.3 (i know.. i know... smh + facepalm)
That's the only thing keeping me from using it - otherwise it works wonderfully.

Logcat

The smh + facepalm is very accurate, this problem is the bane of my existence... Can you send me a log by clicking Support and then paste it in Contact Developer?

It wouldn't let me upload there. Trying to upload here. I've always crept around, but never gotten involved on xda 'till now. So i'm learning as i go and hoping to abide by the rules i've read over time.

The latest update is wrong.

In S3, when active, the sound multimedia phone is deactivated and the app no longer works.

Looking at the play store Reviews, commenting on the same, it does not work this last update.

Pd: Sorry for my English.

It also copies the log, so you can paste it either in a new message by clicking Contact Developer or paste it in this thread...

Here ya go, although i didn't see much useful info...
I do have a non standard text to speech app installed (Ivona). I'm going to test later some TTS settings. Good luck!

I'm working on this... but it is a bit complicated so it might take some time...

Any way we can help? I remember it working flawlessly a couple of versions ago. I cant speak for others, but I'd be more than happy to re-install previous app versions reverse-chronologically until i hit the version that worked. Have you been able to re-create this issue for yourself?

First working prototype of PocketSphinx integration completed! I'm not going to lie, once this is fully working it is going to be awesome. Recognition time is now so fast that it seems instantaneous. Even from a screen off mode, Google Now is open in less than a second. Also battery consumption is far less due to now fully (instead of offline-capable) recognition and recognition accuracy also seems to be far improved as well! RAM usage is down an easy 50% though I haven't been able to run comprehensive tests! Finally on a side note, recognition now works during music playback and all problems due to muting volumes are now solved as these hacks are no longer necessary!

If anybody wants the update now, shoot me an email (tickets@rsenapps.uservoice.com), I'm not really at a point where I need testers, but if you are dying to try it, let me know :)

Also I have a question of how to precede with foreign language interpretation. Right now I'm building PocketSphinx with an English dictionary and all custom hotphrases need to be English words. Is this a problem? Can I completely ditch Google Speech Recognition and all of its problems or should I keep including it?

I'm getting some weird behavior when going to the home screen from the app- the notification keeps coming and going, and it's clear that something is closing/starting it, as it's unresponsive to commands.
-Hotphrase on
-PS recognition
-Default Google Now Hotphrase
-Listen while Screen off
-Listen only while screen off

Let me see if I can reproduce this with a little more detail, as i'm not sure exactly what other things might be causing this,

No found URL

It works but the motion detector, but does not recognize the voice. And with the media google engine sound is muted.

    About Open Mic+
    Google Now, Everywhere.

    As featured on XDA, LifeHacker, SlashGear, Android Community, Android Spin, dotTech, AndroidInt'l, and more!

    With Open Mic+ for Google Now, access all the commands from anywhere on your phone. Simply say "Okay Google" or wave your hand in front of the screen. Screen on, screen off Google Now will be ready to listen.

    WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
    Google Now becomes more conversational as after a search just say Okay Google to start a new one. And even better get the answers to your questions while your hands are tied, or when you're on the couch, or in the car.

    TOMORROW'S FEATURES TODAY
    Everybody's talking about the new Touchless Controls features for the Moto X, but now any phone that is running Jelly Bean or higher can have the same experience.

    SEAMLESS
    Open Mic+ will run in the background and can be configured to start at boot so that it truly becomes part of the phone.

    TASKER INTEGRATION
    Truly automate your device by combining the endless command list of Tasker with the ease of access of Open Mic!

    OFFLINE
    Open Mic+ uses offline voice recognition which means less data usage and faster results.


    What I'm working on:
    See the g+ page for more details! Also please contact me if you are willing to contribute. Experience in sound engineering is especially welcome!

    Remember this is a work in progress, if it isn't working for you now, make sure to follow the g+ page so you'll know when I make it better :)

    Changelog:
    5.4:
    - Google has asked me to remove the Google Speech Engine due to high server traffic. From here on out, the only supported speech engine will be PocketSphinx... Kind of sucks, but you know you're legitimate when you are producing enough traffic for Google to care about you :)
    - Because of this change Tasker commands are not supported... yet (I know a way just need more time). For now use my other app Commandr http://goo.gl/ymwQ46
    - Fixes for conflicts in Lollipop
    - Pocketsphinx optimization
    5.3:
    - bug and crash fixes
    5.2:
    - bug and crash fixes
    5.1:
    - bug and crash fixes
    5.0:
    - Completely redesigned UI to both simplify and guide the user experience (inspired by the Google Now design)
    - Tablet-Optimized UI
    - Multiple optimizations for PocketSphinx and Google engine
    - Device-specific optimizations for Nexus 5 and Moto G
    - Change sensitivity of Wave and Shake Detection
    - Simplify Listen while screen off settings (even I got confused before!)
    - Automatically blacklist apps that use the mic (this fixes issues with the camera, Shaazam, and other similar apps)
    - Fix Tasker Command problems (this update will wipe your current commands)
    - Visual feedback to show what Open Mic+ is doing
    - Redesigned Support interface which will auto-send logs and device information (with consent) and will allow two-way conversations without an email address (Huge thanks to Sky Kelsey and the Apptentive Team!)
    - Targeted Surveys which will allow me to push updates more effectively
    - Many donate-only features are now free
    - Free users who are unable to pay for the donate version can now get all of the donate features by sharing to two out of three of Google+, Facebook, and Twitter
    - Multiple crash and bug fixes
    - Professional Translations for Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish

    Not included in this update, but also figured out how to allow Tasker Commands for PocketSphinx! This will be included in a future update :)

    4.5:
    ★ Lots of Force close and bug fixes (sorry these are very complicated issues, still working on them...)
    ★ Additional logging to help understand other issues
    ★ Tweaking of PocketSphinx engine settings for better recognition
    ★ Resolving issues with UserVoice SDK (if you are having trouble sending a log, remember that your log is copied so you can always paste it into the email link below)

    ★ Issues with sending support requests should be resolved
    ★ Check if both versions are installed to prevent accidentally using the free version when the donate version is installed

    4.2:
    ★ Force close and Can't Reach Google fixes (if you are still having this issue please email me)

    ★ Native contact us, knowledge base, and future ideas, just click the Support button. This makes it easier to report issues...

    4.1:
    ★ Force close and Can't Reach Google fixes (if you are still having this issue please email me)
    ★ Huge Apk/install size fixed
    ★ Various bug fixes...

    WHAT'S DIFFERENT IN THE DONATE VERSION
    Hi, my name is Ryan Senanayake and I'm a Junior still in high school. As the amount of time I have spent on this project grows to more than 1000 hours, I need to better justify the time I spend on development. The Free version will in no way be hobbled and will continue to receive bug fixes + performance/battery improvements, but from now on, new features will be added to the Donate version. It will only cost $2 and if you are not able to spend this, just shoot me an email and I'll send you one for free.

    does this consume battery life?

    No it enables solar charging via front camera.
