    Hi,

    I've been using AutoVoice with Tasker (both paid) for 6 months now. Recently, the Galaxy Tab 10.4 we use, got updated to Lollipop. Since then, it looks like AutoVoice continuous only works for a few minutes, then I have to disable continuous and enable it again to make it work (for another few minutes). Some Googling led to an FAQ saying to uncheck "Restore Properties" (or something like that). I cannot find this option in Tasker.

    I'm a super noob with Tasker and AutoVoice and learned just enough to get my setup to work initially. Any help in resolving this would be appreciated.

    Thanks!
    - Dan

    Hi there.
    Can you please try this:
    - clear logs in AutoVoice
    - enable system logs
    - enable continuous until it stops
    -export logs and paste them here

    Thanks!

    Hi again. You probably have another app that's always listening in the background and doesn't let AutoVoice get hold of the microphone. Can that be the case?

    Not intentionally. I'll search to see if I can find out what, if any, is using the mic.

    No joy yet. If anyone can make any suggestions on how I can track down other apps using the mic, please let me know. I've disabled everything that I think can use the mic, e.g. S.Voice, etc. The tablet doesn't have a large selection of apps.

    As a workaround, is it possible to make Tasker toggle continuous listening off and on, periodically?

    I'm starting to look at alternatives to AutoVoice, as it is useless to me if it won't reliably stay running in continuous mode.

    I seemed to have found a workaround. I added a task to Tasker to turn continuous listening off and on, every two minutes. This seems to work, as AutoVoice still worked this morning. I'm also starting to think that the issue I'm having is somehow related to Daydream.

    Did you turn off Daydream? How do things work since Sunday?

    Photo frame in Daydream is the main purpose of the tablet. The secondary purpose is to use it as voice control for turning on the nearby lights.

    AutoVoice seems to be listening all the time now, but I'm pretty sure that's just because I toggle it off and on every 2 minutes. I still haven't figured out the root cause why it stopped listening. I may mess with it again sometime in the future when I have time, but for now I seem to be able to meet our requirements.
