Google App 5.3.23.19.arm.....this seems to be the latest on Google Play....and the one that crashes. This morning I deleted all updates of Google App...set my device not to update automatically, then found an older version of Google App.... Google App 5.3.19.19.arm installed it.....and it hasn't froze once....been using half the day now. So I won't be updating till I see an update after 5.3.23.19
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwrcat4000:
how about a patch wtf

First of all I appreciate everyone offering workarounds. But shouldn't there be a response from the company that released the bad update I mean do they even know that we're having problems I have no way of telling them do they monitor this forum I'm really mad I mean you pay 800 plus dollars for a phone then they released some little software patch that totally a** f**** it? Come on Google Samsung whoever it is take care of your customers we shouldn't all have to be computer f****** scientist to use a phone it's even kind of stupid to call it a phone to use a handheld computer that makes calls.

Is there somewhere else we can post this issue so the proper people can see it?

Bug tracking at Google

code.google.com bug number 187570 seems to be tracking this issue. [sorry I am new here and am not allowed to post a direct URL.]

The bug may or may not get updated with progress reports. I suggest folks should avoid "spamming" the comments -- you can essentially say "me too" and follow the updates to the bug by clicking the star to the left of "Issue 187570" at the top of the page. HOWEVER google coders might appreciate attaching debug info as described in comment 13.

This post (here at xda-developers) might be a good place to offer workarounds and other discussion.

As a follow up.....the older version: 5.3.19.19.arm that worked all day, froze in the evening and made me reboot....I now have Aug 14 Google App 5.1.17.19.arm and am trying that.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nacoconut:
I'm having this issue (for the past few days) as well (Galaxy S6). Pretty flabbergasted that they've not issued a real fix after several days! I deeply miss my perfectly functioning iOS. Darned droid/Google phone! I've had it for two months! It's inferior.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Where'sMyPants:
same here. what a pain. using Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on Verizon. The quick fix above does not work unfortunately.

however, launching settings (gear icon) from the pull-down menu and turning the phone sideways made the voice menu go away (temporarily), like above. then I went into Applications-Applications Manager and swiped left to "All", found "Google App" and did a Force Stop to fix the problem.

I'm too frustrated with this faulty app continuing to screw up my phone. So i took it a step further: I disabled the app, which uninstalled all updates of the app. I then had to disable the app again for some reason (which had renamed itself back to the original com.somethingOrOther).

Anyway, my phone is faster now too.

Samsung Note 3 Tap to speak will not close unless reboot

I to just started having this problem with the voice to text screen will not close. I have to reboot my phone in order to resolve this condition. I hope they come out with a patch soon to fix this.:rolleyes:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugman-md:
my work-around - step by step

Agree - all evidence says this problem is due to a recent update to the google search app, so until google makes a fix, we have to uninstall the update, and then prevent any "auto-update" from breaking the phone again. For anyone like me who needs step by step instructions on a fix, see below. (instructions for my Galaxy S4)

- I guess you could do this without Titanium Backup Pro - but it is well worth the couple of bucks to get it. The evil updated Google app is

"google app. 5.3.23.16.arm"

FIRST, uninstall the updates to google app:

go to app drawer, click and hold google app icon - drag to top of screen "app info"

click "uninstall updates"

this leaves you with "Google search 2.6.7.721924,arm". It will show up on your app drawer as a blue box / white G icon - the old style.​

Next start titanium backup - if it still says Google app 5.3.23.16.arm

you need to refresh the app list - did this by hitting MENU, then

scroll to bottom of screen - "SPECIAL FEATURES"

click "reload the application" and let TBackup restart

now the bad google app 5.3.23.16.arm is not there

instead look for

"Google search 2.6.7.721924"

- this is what you want - make a backup of it with Titanium backup, to use in the future if you need it.​

then while still in TBackup,

hit menu button - Look under "PLAY STORE/MARKET", go to "market auto-updates"

UNCHECK

Google Search 2.6.7.721924.arm

then hit GREEN CHECK in upper right to save this autoupdate configuration.​

to RESTORE the backup in the future:

open titanium backup, hit backup/restore tab

scroll down to google search 2.6.7.721924, click it

click restore.​

In theory, that should solve our problem. I've had my phone running perfectly for about 30 hours now without the "Tap to speak" thing blocking the screen again. I'll wait until we know there is another FUNCTIONING update to google app before letting it auto-update again. The old app works just fine- just has a different icon.

Another note:

you can disable ALL auto-updates another way too: if, like me, you no longer want to have google or anyone else "fix" something that "aint broke"

start google play

click the icon with three horizontal lines in upper left

click settings

at top, click on Auto-update apps, and then check radio button for

"do NOT auto-update apps"

​
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baxaho:
yes no need for titanium backup....although it is a great app......

just go to settings/apps .....find the Google App....uninstall all updates.....go to your google play store settings and as bugman said, make sure you are set to NOT install updates automatically...then search for an older version of Google app....I tried a few as I stated in some posts above, anything with a 5.3 starting has failed...I dropped back to 5.1.17.19 from back in August and it has worked flawlessly for 3+ days now....

I keep checking my updates to see if they changed the google app, but so far it still says its the notorious 5.3.23.19.arm dated Sept. 24

I cannot believe that with all these complaints that it has not been addressed yet...I mean, I am no programmer, so maybe whatever is conflicting is hidden deep...but then release an update that reverts everyone back to a known good version instead of making us figure it out....Cmon G-men...figure it out.......still not switching to iPhone :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwrcat4000:
Un installed all the updates per your post

it is showing 5.3.23.19.arm dated Sept. 24 on my note 4. do you think I should let it update??? i am thinking no since Sept 24th is exactly when my phone started sucking.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baxaho:
No, I am sorry, I made a typo....the 5.3.23.19 is the bad one....google search for an earlier one to install... I will edit my post
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugman-md:
5.3.23.16 was the version that killed my phone, so you may have to go back several versions to find one that doesn't suck. I'd suggest just uninstalling ALL updates and going back to the base version on your phone like I did.:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougmott:
Thanks Theandert...that worked.

He said = "One way I found that I can close it is by opening the menu that has active apps, then going to RAM, next turn the phone on its side (<--- yes do that), then hit clear memory a few times. And done its gone."

I'll have to do this until they fix the bug. Had to swipe the apps away to clear the memory on my Droid Ultra a couple times, but it worked.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwrcat4000:
Thanks Dougmott that sounds like a great workaround.

I can not find clear RAM option on my Samsung note 4 must be a difference in the manufacturer.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almondfarmer:
Same problem on Note 3 going on 9 days now. Easy way to clear the Tap to Speak is to open Google Search app or Chrome app then press and hold home button, when all open apps show up, close the Google Search app or Chrome app and the froze Tap to Speak screen goes away. I wish Google would fix this bug, it's redickuless that it's still screwwing up people phones.

Still occurring on my S6 now as well. I rebooted the phone, but will try the suggestion above and see if that does it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BJSwinford:
Same problem - just started happening @ 10-1-15. I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I have to reboot to get rid of the screen. Even before this started happening, it seems I've had trouble closing that screen even after I was done dictating or if I had to manually edit my text, the window won't get out of the way. Pushing the X does nothing, at least right away.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattk_r:
Same here - Uninstalled "Google" and deselected auto update. Immediate fix. The voice box is now black instead of white, but at least it doesn't block the screen anymore.

To create the fault, if the "speak now" box is open and the phone power button is pushed (possibly if it times out and goes into standby, didn't check), the box would lock open every time. If I close the box first, no issue and I wouldn't have known it existed.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwrcat4000:
still no update

Wow, still no update for this bad patch wonder what I'm being exposed to by running the old one come on Google get it together.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baxaho:
I am amazed as well that the same problematic update is still the latest.... As for the power button.... Or not closing the voice box first recreating the issue... I have had multiple times where the voice box froze right away when I hit the microphone... One time it did it 3 boots in a row.... No chance to even close the box :-/

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baxaho:
new problem...but now with the old version as well....worked all day fine, now tonight the voice text works fine but it does not have the (x) for the close window....and doesn't have the (x) backspacing....just the microphone and the settings globe.

when I finish speaking, the word

delete

pops up..... but it deletes the entire message not just backspacing....what the heck????? this version worked awesome since the update and literally for the last 3 hours....screwed up....reboot doesn't work either

The version of the Google app dated October 8, 2015 is working fine on my Samsung Galaxy S5. No hangs on Speech to Text so far after several days of use.

If you have updated the Google app and are still having the problem, First try rebooting the phone. Next you might try clearing the application's cache. You might also try uninstalling the updates to the app and installing the latest version again.

For example if i set 250Hz to max in Poweramp on CM10.1, I get very deep and clear bass, but on CM9/CM10 I have almost no bass with same settings. So is there any way to get CM10.1 sound drivers on older roms?

So, I think I'm really dumb. So, earlier today: I put this thread out: http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-2014/help/how-unroot-return-to-stock-xt1095-t3210040

Of course, I'm not gonna make you read it. Basically, I was rooted on 5.1 and tried to unroot. But then I ****ed a lot of things up (I think I flashed a Kitkat recovery image) so I hard reset and I was down to 4.4. Now, I screwed myself super over by trying to flash the 5.0 factory image thinking it would bring me to normal stock and what not, only to send me to the Android in distress every single time. I tried to hard reset once more, but even hard resetting would send me to android in distress.

Though, when I went to the recovery menu (or the place where you can hard reset, connect adb), it showed that it was on LXE 22.46...meaning, it was lolipop. So, I have no idea what's going on and I just want a phone at this point. I don't even care if it's KitKat. Hell, after today I'm never going to tamper with my phone again due to the anxiety I'm feeling right now. If anyone could help, please do.

Edit: I think I know what my problem is. I think I soft bricked my device since I'm only booting into recovery, but I still have access to bootloader. I'm assuming I just have to flash some recovery and then reboot? But I'm not going to do anything without anyone elses input or something.
