LG classic flip voice access..

richard7227

Just got the LG classic flip and tried unsuccessfully to get voice access to function properly. Using the method outlined in Apps4flip to install launcher and voice access apps, via Webadb, seems to fail. Had it working briefly but it stopped working. I've factory reset phone and reinstall the apps 3 times, to no avail. Someone please advise proper, working method to get it working. I'm vision impaired and have issues texting on small keypads..need voice to text.

richard7227 is your data turned on? The app needs a tiny bit of data for it to work.

Jumptoheaven ...that sounds peculiar? Don't know why I would need data for voice to text app to work? please explain..

richard7227

Well that makes more sense. Whomever wrote the steps to get it installed, and working on their device, should have mentioned that little bit of information, especially for those people who don't have data turned on, or for that matter, don't have a data plan at all. I appreciate you taking time to explain it in layman's terms...

Ok, was in process of returning the LG classic, but after I was informed about the data/wifi needing to be on, I reset the phone and reloaded the launcher and voice access .apks, have been using it successfully for a few days now and it works well enough to do voice to text for my needs, thanks for the advice guys.

I just installed the voice access and now it reads out the caller when my phone is closed, when I turned off readouts in settings it got rid of all the permissions for voice access. How do I keep voice access without the annoying readout?

darth the eitza is to uninstall com.lge.tts.sfplus BUT it "ruins" the voice access so that after uninstalling tts it will only listen the first time you talk and if you want to talk again you have to press the button to turn voice access on and off again (not such a big deal but just FYI)

OR you can mute your media volume

Alternatively, you can use button mapper to set a key (I use long pressing the speaker key) to toggle "mute media volume", which makes muting the media volume a cinch.

L-B Assuming you have it where you click it once and then click it again to turn it off?

i have it where you hold the Talk to Voice button while talking and release to end the voice. after removing/uninstalling the above it seems to still work as long as i hold the button, there's no need for me to click it again to reactivate it.

Flippy I think this is the same problem when you have voice access. And for that the solutions are:

You can mute your media volume. (Use Button Mapper to do it quickly)

This may be another way:

L-B , you really have to do .\adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.lge.tts.sfplus

Jumptoheaven but then you don't vibrate?

Jumptoheaven

Myi MEDIA volume.

Myi True. I tried it and it does work more intuitively thank you. But technically I think it still isn't listening the second time unless you leave go of the key and press it again whereas before I think it would continue listening even if you were holding the key down throughout.

Has anyone noticed that Voice Access no longer works to make punctuation marks. It used to make a ? if you said "question mark" and a ! if you said "exclamation point" but not any more.

L-B I don't know, I'll try and report back. Good to see you back once in a while 🙂.

darth

L-B I have noticed that. It has been that way for a little while.

L-B I also noticed that it has a hard time picking up numbers to be selected
