Have you tried phone reboot and voice engine settings reset?

I had similar issues with my HTC Incredible S in past when played a lot with different Android settings.

Reboot+settings reset worked fine for me and I never saw such issues again.

Though I am not sure above recommendation will work for your phone :fingers-crossed:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattmanwrx:
Hi everyone... enjoying my nexus 7, couldn't be any better...

Anyway, my question... I first heard of the blobs on my Asus transformer, and never really looked into them any further...

I noticed my storage going down quite a bit, and looked into why it was going down... in the clockworkmod folder there is the back folder, all fine, and the blobs folder... the blobs folder 2gb+ in there... can anyone tell me what the blobs folder is and what it does?

Thanks, Matt
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffff00:
The blobs folder contains portions of your CWM backups.

When you make a new backup, CWM checks the blobs folder to see what has changed between backups, since it's likely that a lot has remained the same.

This can actually save a lot of space, and make backups happen faster.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattmanwrx:
Thanks for the reply... I noticed they did take a lot less time to backup... so the safest way to delete a backup is through ROM manager? As I would usually just delete the backup folder (the ones inside the backup folder)... but half of my nandroid is still there?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ffff00:
I haven't had to delete any yet, but I'd assume that managing them through Rom Manager would be best.

found this thread through google.

cos i was wondering why there is this blobs subfolder in cwm folder, since it's the first time i encountered it.

by the way it's the 1st time i'm using cwm touch to backup so the new prog has got to do something with since there are no blobs folder since i've been using the non touch version of cwm.

and i also noticed that it makes backups faster the non touch version.

thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattmanwrx:
I don't think it is touch version, I think it is the newest 6.x.x.x clockwork.mod versions... I have many touch versions installed on different devices, but this is the first time.I've seen the blob folder...

I was hoping to use ROM Manager or ROM Toolbox Pro to backup my Nexus 7 into one file or folder, so that I could then take it off the tablet to store on my laptop in case I need it in the future. I don't want these damned blobs taking up my precious space.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattmanwrx:
I'm not sure.. as it is (what I believe to be) a feature of 6.x.x.x. maybe you/someone could compile a 5.x.x.x. version and see if it just creates the backup folder and not blobs...

So basically it's impossible to store my CWM backups on my PC or the cloud now, or export via TB. And the blobs folder is already at 2gb on my 8gb Nexus 7 after only two backups. Time for TWRP.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve113:
+1

I have the same exact concern.

Plus this time i had to manually specify a backup to internal SD. The first time i did a nandroid i selected "Backup" and it over wrote my external SD card - I may have used an older CWM in the past that didn't behave like that - but this sure did get my blood boiling.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackspy_:
it may be faster on the backup process itself, but copying the blob folder to PC or deleting it, takes ages.

i don't kinda like this way of backup

so: what is the last safe version of CWM using the old style ?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imilleson:
I found a great feature in CWM that I don't know how I missed. Must be on latest 6+ - Under backup there is a "create image zip" or something like that. It takes your blobs and all that crap and makes a flash able zip! Then you can delete the blobs :) love it . Also you can change backup format to .TAR which is the old way do no blobs

I also changed the default 'blobs' backup format back to the .TAR style. Couldn't believe how much space blobs took up.

Hi there! It might be a very old post, but I was wondering how did you change the backup format?

Do you know how to use fastboot? If so, flash all of the stock images (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images) for the Nexus 7 in fastboot mode.

[Nexus 7 General] jbot:
I tried two different headsets with this device. My Nexus 7 does not detect the microphone on either one. The headphones work fine though, just not the mic.

The microphone on the tablet still works while the headset is plugged in. This tells me that the microphone is not even being detected. That's why I thought it initially worked, but further testing (skype test call) makes it obvious that my voice is being picked up from the tablet microphone, not the headset microphone.

Is anyone else having this issue?
[Nexus 7 General] iraf:
Yes, I can confirm this behavior (see related thread). I received 2 units that work (or more accurately don't work) this way. Unless someone can confirm that their unit works with the external mic, I conclude that for some inexplicable reason, the tablet was not wired to permit the use of an external mic. It is either that or a mass defect in the units they are shipping.

Hi I recently unlocked the bootloader and rooted (oneclick method) my HTC One X on rogers. I want to install CWM recovery, but I have heard it is unstable on the One X? If it's not, can I just download rom manager(premium) and flash the recovery through there? Or let me know a way I could install it. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] rohan32:
I'd suggest using TWRP instead of CWM, CWM randomly wipes your SD from time to time.

To install TWRP, download the goo.im app from the play store and let it find a compatible recovery for your device. It will reboot and TWRP will be installed.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
My advice would be to stick with the recovery installs methods that are in our specific forum. Just head to my index thread and look under "Recovery".

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

CWM does not officially support our device, its just a port. Because of this, I don't even know if ROM Manager will let you install it.

More importantly, CWM is known to cause some serious issues for some people while flashing ROMs. Some (most?) of the devs don't advise using CWM. TWRP officially supports our device, and is the way to go.

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

I've just had an instance of random files being erased or corrupted, this time it was on TWRP. I also had it happen on CWM a while back before I switched to TWRP, but neither recovery seems free of this bug (and may not be solely recovery's fault?). I've seen at least a few others have had SD contents corrupted by TWRP. Maybe its more common on CWM, but its probably hard to say.

I haven't had the instance of the entire SD card being wiped, so this may be a CWM exclusive thing, I can't say at all.

Moral of the story, before flashing anything, whether on CWM or TWRP, backup to your computer any contents of the SD that are not easily replaced. In particular, Titanium Backup folder, and any personal photos.

Also, aside from the SD wipe issue, CWM is known to cause some major problems when flashing some ROMs, so best to stay away from it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jason.g:
Does TWRP work the same as CWM. Also does it have all the same features as CWM? Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] doin-it:
I've been using clock work since its been available for the One X & personaly never had a single issue. You however can't flash CW through Rom manager.

Actually what he probably saw was right. What allot of company's do is add what memory comes with the phone already. So when they say you can expand to 48, they mean put in a 32gb + your 16 internal storage for a whopping 48. It's never exact 48 though since we get about 12gb of our 16 internal and about 28gb (give or take) from your 32 ad card.

The kernel included in Sean's ROM should be adequate as that if what I'm using. Do a search in the general section of XDA to learn what a kernel does.

Radio and modem is the same thing. I use the 6 radio which works great for me in the Miami area.

You would do well to try 2 or 3 different radios and see which performs best in your area. Use one for a couple of days then clear cache and Dalvik cache and flash a different radio. And try that for a couple of days.
