[MENTION=4244138]armyofpunk[/MENTION]: do u set it to listen while screen off?
[Android Apps and Games] notsointeresting:
So this is going to sound really picky but I don't mean it to come off brash or anything. This is an amazing app and am incredibly thankful for the countless hours spent on it.

With that said... The persistent notification icon. It doesn't follow design guidelines for notification icons. Icons are supposed to be 1 color (white) and then have transparency to shape the design.

The persistent notification icon for this app is (what seems like) a colored png. It sounds like a dumb thing to complain about but the icon would be much more form fitting with Android if it was colored correctly. Also for users who use xposed framework tweaks which color icons (Tinted Status Bar for ex) the icon would be able to change colors instead of being a filled in circle where you can't tell which notification it is.

Small issue but it really goes a long way for such an easy fix. If you want to read on Google's notification icon guidelines they can be found here: https://developer.android.com/design/style/iconography.html#notification

Thanks for your continued support on this app!

[Android Apps and Games] armyofpunk:
Yup have it running all day
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Good point and not picky at all. I am travelling right now and I'll be busy with school when I get back so I'll get it in when I can... If anybody would be kind enough to make the icon for me, that would be really nice :)
[Android Apps and Games] notsointeresting:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/akmevzvn0qbrwlg/Open Mic Plus Status Bar Icons.zip

Created icons for most screen densities (LDPI - XXHDPI) and included the original 144x144 image in case I messed up the scaling.

Let me know if you have any trouble with it.
[Android Apps and Games] revcrpb:
I've tried Open Mic+ each time it's been updated, but I still have this problem. Every time I turn on OM+, I lose all sound... keyboard sounds, notification sounds... all sounds. I want so much to use the app, but just can't because it completely mutes all sound on my phone. Otherwise I'd buy it in a heartbeat. I'm using a VS980 (Verizon LG G2), rooted, using Malladus 1.2.2 ROM (a stock-based ROM) with xposed modules. The sound problem was happening even before I rooted the phone and flashed ROM's, etc. Anything that can be done to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] Arthemedus:
Since the battery on my phone is garbage, (1900 mah in htc evo 3d),

Instead of having it listen when my screen is off, or on my homescreen, I use tasker to make openmic activate when my display is ON but not UNLOCKED, and if it's unlocked or off tasker disables open display, aka I can just press my lock button and say ok google. Not as snappy as other solutions but it works for me. Great app!
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Thanks! I'll include this in the next release...

I'm guessing you have already tried reinstalling... I am wondering if you have tried changing your kernel? This problem has to do with a system issue where muting/unmuting the volume (which I have to do to fix a bug in google speech recognition) leads to the volume being permanently muted... Usually this is tied to the ROM, but a few users have fixed it by changing the kernel.
[Android Apps and Games] revcrpb:
Ah, I see. Unfortunately, I don't have the option of changing my kernel... Malladus is stock based, and I don't recall seeing a kernel that can be flashed with it. This sucks. Your app is so handy. Malladus will soon be going to Android 4.4.... we'll see then. Thanks for the explanation. :)
[Android Apps and Games] sdsurferbob:
I'm having trouble getting it to recognize the hot word when the screen is off. I have both listen while screen off and listen while screen of with charging selected. My primary objective is to get it to activate while in the car dock while screen is off. Do I have the settings correct?
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
It sounds right, but if you send me a log by clicking Send Feedback top-right, I'll know for sure. If you change the subject to sdsurferbob, I'll give it priority when looking through logs...

Can openmic+ support bluetooth ? I use bluetooth headset to speak in car....pls...thanks...
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
Hi I have a problem I can't get open Mic to stay in memory I have to manually start the app constantly I have the paid version I was hoping an update might be pending but haven't seen one I have made the app resident in per app settings and made notifications persistent but it still closes Any help would be appreciated thanks
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
It's a little more difficult to transfer the Bluetooth headset from my app to Google Now... it's on the todo list, but for now try one of my others apps which does it's own command interpretation Carma In-car http://carma.rsenapps.com/

Sorry I have been really busy with finals. The semester ends next week which will hopefully give me some time to push out an update or two... In regards to your issue, are you sure that Open Mic+ is getting killed? Does the notification disappear? Can you see the app in System Settings>Running?
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
Yes the notification does disappear im afraid and no it doesn't show in system running so I guess it is getting killed I can't understand why though as I made the app resident I tried to convert to system app too but that caused fc's so I'm a bit lost thanks for your reply
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Interesting... just making sure, you aren't running any task killers, right? Also have you tried changing your kernel? Are you running OM+ in screen on, or screen off mode? You might also want to send me a log by clicking Send feedback top-right so I can get a better idea of the issue...
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
No task killers I do have a custom kernel however and I'm not a noob but I don't know anything about om+ it can't be supported on my onex because I don't have any option for this I do have minfrees slightly tweaked but not too much and Like I said I have made openmic resident in memory but I do use minimal notification
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Can you try using the full notification? Also just try using a different kernel temporarily to see if the issue persists...
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
I don't think kernel is an issue as it's always done this I will try full notification and get back to you thank you for your time it's appreciated also I sent you a feedback email
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
Ok tested over night with full notification and still it gets killed hope this helps
[Android Apps and Games] boldvishal:
I am also on HTC One X and for quite some time now, not able to use Open Mic+ although I wanted to badly use it for the entire day.

The main observation - App gets killed when screen/display is turned off. This occurs either by using the power button or even by using screen off widgets. So look out for this particular behavior.

Regards

Vishal
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
Confirmed it only gets killed when screen is off
[Android Apps and Games] revenge33:
Yep. I have the same problem with nexus 5.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Interesting... if you keep it in screen on mode does it still get killed? Even keeping a full notification on only gives it higher priority to make it less likely it will be killed, but Open Mic+ uses a lot of RAM so this may not be enough... Does anybody know how to make a service unkillable? There must be some root command I can use
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
Would it not be possible just to make it less ram demanding
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
I wish... 99% of the RAM comes from the Google Speech Recognition which I don't have direct control of. I have been working on switching to a third-party recognition engine, but it is not easy and from what I've seen the results are not as good. More than likely it will become an option that users can set depending on which they prefer accuracy or performance.
[Android Apps and Games] boldvishal:
I although know that this will defeat the purpose of the app, why not think of adding an option for "Utter" speech recognition? Open Mic with utter will do wonders.

Also, just to highlight the issue again - I use a flip cover for my One x. As soon as I start the app and then later cover up my phone for screen off, the app gets killed. Main thing to note is that it wasn't the behavior earlier. Maybe some recent additions are triggering this.

OM+ pauses when music is played from Spotify. I would really like to be able to continue to issue commands even though i have music playing.

Is this possible?

Also i have it set to pause during screen off, also during off and charging. However it seems to interfer with my galaxy note 3's "hi galaxy"
[Android Apps and Games] boldvishal:
Any updates on this?
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Currently no... This has to do with a limitation of Google Speech Recognition. I'm waiting to have enough time to be able to implement a third-party engine...

I'm unsure of what you are asking? Utter! doesn't have it's own speech recognition, but instead uses the same Google Speech Recognition that I do...
[Android Apps and Games] JustusIV:
Thanks for the reply. What exactly is the limitation of Google speech recognition that it can't work at all during audio? Just surprised this can't be hacked or worked around.

The hi galaxy wakes the phone during audio and I have Tasker launch Google and that pauses the music so that is a start.

Sent from my SM-N900V
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
The limitation is that if you run the third-party speech recognition (note that OEMs and Google get a special closed library), the music will automatically be paused. As there is a bug in speech recognition right now which requires that speech recognition be restarted every few seconds (apparently Google knows about this problem, but only fixes it in the closed api to prevent Android forks from getting too close to Android), the music will continuously be paused. This used to be what happened and made OM+ super annoying, instead I now have OM+ auto-pause, which is far from ideal, but better than the past behavior...
[Android Apps and Games] JustusIV:
This OEM only bs is annoying. The snap dragon 800 always on mic low power is OEM only and passes me off.

Also that seems slightly evil wtf Google!

Sent from my SM-N900V
[Android Apps and Games] boldvishal:
I actually wanted to check if any update on the issue of Open MIC+ getting auto closed when display is switched off.

And as confirmed by others here, it seems to be a common occurrence.

Regards

Vishal
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
From what I can tell, the only way to get around this is to make the service use less RAM. As almost all of the RAM comes from the Google speech recognition. I've been working to implement Pocket sphinx, a third party engine.... If anybody has any experience, please shoot me a PM
[Android Apps and Games] Mepsipax:
The one thing I can tell you is this:

When I was doing my Bachelor's degree, I looked into Pocketsphinx and asked my Professor about it. He adviced me not to use it. I can't remember why that was. I ended up staying with Google speech recognition. So just consider that.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Yeah, I was talking to the dev of Utter! as well and he said that even though Google's is so bad, PocketSphinx is worse. But I wanted to at least give it a try and maybe allow users to choose between them... Based on my need just to match a single phrase, hopefully it will do better :)
[Android Apps and Games] Mepsipax:
Well, in you particular case, it might work. You can at least try.

Display off issue

The issue of app getting killed on display switch off is still existing. I had hoped that this version would have somehow fixed it.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
I'm doing everything I can to keep the service alive, but it seems like Android will still kill it because of the high RAM usage. If you could post your log here, then I'll be able to look at all the logs I have side-by-side to see if there is anything else I can do, but for now I'm just working on implementing PocketSphinx.

2. enabled while screen is on regardless if device is charging or not

3. disabled while screen is off and device does not charge
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Sorry really need to make those more clear... Disable listen while charging and enable listen while screen off and listen while screen off if charging
[Android Apps and Games] brotbuexe:
Disable listen only while screen off and not charging. All other times enable listen.

[Android Apps and Games] R.Suave:
Can you go into more detail about how you use OM+ auto-pause. Im working on getting open mic to control poweramp using tasker and action box. Thanks for all your dev work. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
There are three methods. If OM+ detects that music is being played via the standard android mediaplayer, then it will autopause and then wait for it to stop. Secondly, you can use the blasklisted apps list to pause when a certain app is activated. Lastly, you can stop/start listening via Tasker...

Hope that helps, let me know if you need any clarification
[Android Apps and Games] R.Suave:
Thanks for your response but I'm still a bit confused on how I can solve my issue... if possible. Here's a simple example. I have OM+ set to skip to the next track in Power Amp (media player) when I say "next track". The issue is that OM+ is not listening while music is playing even if the volume is all the way down.

Is there a way to avoid this at all?
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Not currently... this is an issue with using Google Speech Recognition. Track the progress of this issue here: http://rsenapps.uservoice.com/forum...32818-hotword-detection-during-music-playback

[Android Apps and Games] Deegan87:
I have tasker set to activate Open Mic+ while Nova Launcher is in the foreground. When I switch to another app I hear the ping that voice search makes when is starts listening. It happens the same way every time, but doesn't happen every time I leave the launcher.

Any ideas on a cause or a fix?
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
So when you move to another app, Tasker is deactivating Open Mic? Is it using the Open Mic Tasker plugin to do this or is it killing the service?
[Android Apps and Games] Deegan87:
Yes, it deactivates it using the plugin.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] inancatil:
i m using 3.12 free version. if my phone is not connected to internet , it start and stop every second. i use this options to active ; voice activation checked and wave activation unchecked. i have to disable both of them to stop this issue
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
When you say start and stop, do you mean the button turns from start to stop or that the notification is constantly activating and deactivating? I would also make sure that you have the offline language pack in Google Now Settings. If you are still having trouble, please send me a log by clicking support in-app

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?
