| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | nexus4gshane | 11/08/04 11:07 | So is anyone certain that getting a newer production of the phone will fix this? Has it worked for anyone? |

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | alzakx | 11/08/04 15:02 | @satsuma, where did you get your phone? Mine became possessed when I did a voice search for the first time ever. I've had it since april, never used voice search, then on june I did a voice search to show off to my sister who owns an iphone and BAM! |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | JavisHD | 11/08/04 15:10 | First phone came from ebay, purchased at a Rogers store. So after you did a voice search what happened? I don't think your scenario is common, most videos of the bug show someone just using data, or not doing anything at all. |

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Senk2 | 11/08/04 19:48 | It would at least be nice if we could get a definitive answer as to whether it's a hardware or software issue.

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | madness123 | 11/08/04 21:27 | @Nexus S Rogers - i would call samsung (1800samsung), rogers cant help you, unless you can convince them to replace it with a newer (11.05? /11.06 ) version.

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Feather Dust | 11/08/05 7:32 | @nexus4gshane I did have an 11.05 and it did eventually develop the problem. My current phone is an 11.06 and still no problems yet but I have also not used the voice search yet and probably never will. |

I think this whole thing invalidates the "Google Default Build" strategy. Google will not stand behind their product, they are not a product company they are |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Secheltmarsh | 11/08/17 20:51 | I picked up my now repaired twice Nexus S from the local Telus store here in Sechelt this afternoon.. I am hopeful. I have not had the "bug" so far and it has been 6 hours. Last time they sent it out, I got the "bug" immediately after inserting |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | ToddEDM | 11/08/17 22:36 | well mine has now been fixed, i havent had a problem for a while, but i feel your pain... i suggest going out on google+ and find paul as i mentioned his name in here before " paul wilcox" and you can look at some of the contacts he has, alot of them |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Casperette | 11/08/18 5:05 | @SechelI used to work for Telus and the repair policy sucks. What happens is they have to send it out for repair 3 times (and something needs to actually be repaired for it to count) After the 3 repairs if there is something else wrong with it and yo |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | LiqduifireAK | 11/08/18 12:04 | I have this problem too. Will Android 4.0 fix it? Or we're unsure if 4.0 will even fix it?? Should I wait until they release that?? |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | alzakx | 11/08/18 12:05 | Hello hello my fellow comrades, So I decided to run some tests and got a new Nexus S. This one came straight out of the box with 2.3.4, baseband UCKD1 labeled 11.05. I will try to reproduce the bug but so far I haven't seen it. My understating is tha |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | dgriff | 11/08/18 12:35 | I'm still having trouble with this but I don't really want to flash the radio. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | LiqduifireAK | 11/08/18 12:40 | tumorboy76, what is flashing the radio? Does that mean my radio will be useless to me? |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | nothappyontario | 11/08/18 21:24 | Hi All Just spent 40 minutes on the phone with Rogers Technical Support. Like everyone else, I've had to keep 3G turned off, and had absolutely dismal 2G signal last few days, but it was almost non existent today. As usual, got no where, and once |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | dirtychoncho | 11/08/18 21:30 | This issue is really starting to tick me off, at times i just feel like smashing it. 4 months is what I have been waiting for a fix to arrive. Seriously it's giving google a sour taste in my mouth and I'm a huge fan. |

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | tumorboy76 | 11/08/19 10:02 | LiqduifireAK... NO, flashing the radio doesn't make it useless, it makes the phone more useful.

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Paul | 11/08/19 13:38 | Hi everyone, I have another update for you on the status of this bug. As I mentioned previously, we'd identified the source of this problem as software-related. We're testing a fix for the issue now and we'll update this thread when that fix is ready |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Marmot2 | 11/08/19 13:41 | Great Paul, .... now who should we ask for reimbursement for having a not working device for 4 months? Are we the clients paying for Google's BETA testing. You admit there is a bug, I want compensation. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | hasan.mahm | 11/08/19 14:16 | Thanks for the update Paul. Can you be a little more specific as to the timeline? Should we expecting a fix in a week, month, etc.? |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | LiqduifireAK | 11/08/19 14:28 | I havn't been able to use my phone for the last 2 months!! I ended up using my old crappy nokia phone for the past 2 months. If theres some sort of compensation, I would greatly appreciate it. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Superman19892011 | 11/08/19 14:30 | I agree with Marmot, only I think Google deciding not to provide their customers compensation should not be an option in this case! The issue has caused such an inconvenience to Google and Samsung customers! I think some offer should be made to every |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Paul | 11/08/19 14:30 | hasan.mahm I'm sorry but I don't have a timeline to provide at this time. It's still in testing. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | tumorboy76 | 11/08/19 14:33 | I'll believe it when I see it. The vagueness and time span between drive-by update posts from Paul leads me to believe that it is all BS in a ploy to prevent more people from returning their phones. I am thinking that the issue is hardware related, |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | LiqduifireAK | 11/08/19 14:43 | I agree with Tumorboy. EVERYONE CONTINUE TO EMAIL CTV AND +1 THE ANDROID SUPPORT THREAD. We will only stop when the patch is released |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Nexus S Rogers | 11/08/19 14:49 | Wow... seriously?... after months of waiting and they are still 'testing' it?! This is bull... |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | dubdm177 | 11/08/19 14:53 | Like I said before I had to root my phone and flash a new radio to make it useable. Now you want me to go back to stock to get this update. I'm sorry but I will need to see real results and confirmation that the fix actually works before I rely on Go |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Secheltmarsh | 11/08/19 15:04 | It has now been 48 hours...... no bug...... phone is actually usable! Should this really be news?

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | dbnoel86 | 11/08/20 13:03 | I updated the voice search app on my Nexus and it has since stopped happening. We'll see if this continues as the day passes. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | nothappyontario | 11/08/20 19:14 | First, I reported Paul's last post as abusive and offensive and suggest everyone else do the same. It is the exact same crap we were told in June, and seems 5 months after the bug was found, we still don't have a fix date. Personally, I find it an |

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Secheltmarsh | 11/08/22 22:03 | It has now been six and a half days since I picked up my twice repaired nexus s from the Telus store. I have not had the search bug return or any other problems. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | nothappyontario | 11/08/23 8:21 | Dear Google people. Still another day without a fix. At this point, I'll take anything until a fix comes. Please, please send something out that will at least let us uninstall the factory Voice Search install! Can you at least give us that??????? |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | mateenmoosa | 11/08/23 12:18 | I see the issue of the back button firing on its own. I'm using a Nexus S on 2.3.4. I did not have this issue before today. See the video that demonstrates the issue here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doDoy-evoK0 |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | judtoff | 11/08/23 17:38 | I got my Nexus S back from repair on Saturday. I sent it in for repair because of phantom search button long presses. I didn't realize it was common, and the attendant at Telus said he'd never heard of the issue before. On Monday it started doing it |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Tareck117 | 11/08/23 20:27 | I don't think the screen protector has something to do with that prob, you dont think that if the screen protector was de problem, your home, menu and back button will do the same thing as the search button ? Google said that it was a software proble |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | judtoff | 11/08/24 5:18 | Tareck, my home and back button have had phantom presses before. I should have mentioned it. They just happen much less often than the search soft key. I'm using a zagg invisible shield. I doubt it is the screen protector, just throwing it out there. |

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | nothappyontario | 11/08/25 5:49 | Hey Rogers s Nexus S, I received an email back from Sean O'Shea yesterday and was asked to contact him, he gave a phone #, because he wants to do the story ASAP . I will post any updates. |

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | sensfan20 | 11/08/25 7:07 | As much as I wanted a "Pure Google" phone, I would rather have a phone without bugs and a phone I can use how I want when I want, without voiding warranty. Have not lost hope yet with Google, but will see how this is resolved..... |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | vackyou | 11/08/25 7:32 | Alright, I sent an email to sean....@globalnews.ca. Please, everyone who has not yet done so, do the same. Let's make this public! |

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | mola2010 | 11/08/25 7:52 | I would prefer getting the new Nexus in October personally since I already moved to the Galaxy S. It bugs me that the phone is still for sale. Is there a similar thread on the Samsung site? |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Superman19892011 | 11/08/25 8:11 | In my opinion this is not a software issue it is a defect in the hardware!

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | damienclark | 11/08/26 5:17 | I had this issue again yesterday.

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | mola2010 | 11/08/26 11:23 | Another thing I haven't thought of is people that have the issue and the Google Search Voice app starts recording the sounds and sends it to the cloud all without the user intending for this to happen. This means data usage is being consumed uninten |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Duffin | 11/08/26 11:47 | I highly doubt there's a huge increase in data usage for voice searching. The data required for a couple second recording of low-quality audio is probably equal to that of a SMS message: a few hundred kilobytes. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | mola2010 | 11/08/26 11:55 | Well if it happens many times per day while roaming at a few hundred kB, it might add up considering how much roaming per MB can be. And it may be more than a couple seconds depending on the amount of noise the mic picks up prior to sending. Anyway |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Marmot2 | 11/08/26 11:57 | Voice search can definitely use more data than sms, at least one order of magnitude, but I highly doubt it can do it in background. All touch buttons are disabled when the phone is in sleep/locked. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Duffin | 11/08/26 11:58 | What, you mean international roaming? I don't get charged extra for "roaming" inside the US, myself. If you're roaming internationally, I would say you're taking a risk by using roaming data to begin with. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | kairos6707 | 11/08/26 12:09 | I just completed an interview with Sean O'Shea. it will be on his report from Global Toronto at 6 tonight. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | 007quick | 11/08/26 13:02 | I really hope that this forces goggles hand as I just bought a nexus s second hand which was only 1 week old. to find that there has been a bug all along is incredibly disappointing. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | mola2010 | 11/08/26 13:25 | @Marmot2 agree but in the instance a service is running, the phone doesn't always sleep. @Duffin - yes international.

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | kairos6707 | 11/08/26 15:55 | No problem @Senk2. Interesting that Sean got to talk to an actual person at Google, & that they told him a fix would be rolled out next week. Seeing is believing. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | alzakx | 11/08/26 15:58 | Please post a link to the News Segment. I can't seem to find it on the one provided. Any of you want to make this interesting? I bet there will be no fix next week and they are just fraking with us... again. |

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | JLand | 11/08/26 16:16 | Thanks everyone in Toronto and through Skype for getting Global to run this piece.

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Superman19892011 | 11/08/26 16:18 | According to Shawn O'Shae Samsung was the one that commented on Google launching a fix for next week. So let's see if Paul will comment on this forum and verify the launch for some time next week. |

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Nexus S Rogers | 11/08/28 15:12 | I have paid 4 months of data that I could not even use. On top of that unable to carry out basic tasks such as texting, listening to music and most importantly, making calls. From what I have seen, I doubt Google will compensate us. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | 007quick | 11/08/28 15:27 | Doesn't change the fact that they should though |

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | alzakx | 11/08/29 8:18 | Day one and counting of the week when we are supposed to get a fix as said by someone at Google (not verifed if the statement is true). bet we will not get a fix today. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Superman19892011 | 11/08/29 8:23 | AGAIN!!!! SHAWN O'Shae said that "SAMSUNG said Google will be releasing a fix next week (as in this week)" there is no sense in hoping for a fix when the statement was given by Samsung not Google themselves. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Phungtastic | 11/08/29 10:15 | Congrats on getting this on the news! I have been thinking of getting the Nexus S when I sign up for Wind next week, but after reading through so many pages of issues with no response from Google, I am quite disapointed and not sure what to do.

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Phungtastic | 11/08/29 10:19 | Also, I went into a Wind store and asked their CSR about the voice search bug plaguing the Google Nexus S phones and was told that she had never heard of such a problem nor did any customers come back to her with this issue.... |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Paul | 11/08/29 14:33 | Hi again, Update to my post on August 19: We plan to release an over-the-air update this week which includes a fix for this bug. I'll post again once the OTA starts. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Lemute | 11/08/29 14:43 | I'll believe it when I see it. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Poojou | 11/08/29 14:48 | That's great to hear paul. Could you please ensure that those who aren't in Canada get the update too? Also I think a voucher we could use to get a nexus prime would keep a lot of us in the Android camp.... |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Duffin | 11/08/29 15:07 | Haha, yeah good luck with that one, Poojou... |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | armyofgnomes | 11/08/29 15:34 | Yesterday was a bit scary, as all of the power in my town was out, including a 3G cell tower. This caused the phone to go berserk during the aftermath of Hurricane Irene when I was trying to call my family. I had to switch it to 2G towers only to mak |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | alzakx | 11/08/29 15:46 | Hey Google Paul, does this fix also fixes the GPS lock issue? |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | LiqduifireAK | 11/08/29 16:15 | I would like some compensation!!!! I have been using my old crappy 3-4 year old nokia phone because my Nexus S couldnt work. It was a $600 paperweight sitting on my desk doing nothing |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Nexus S Rogers | 11/08/29 17:51 | Does this OTA require the original rom? |

| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | dgriff | 11/08/29 19:56 | @Paul, How come it took so long? Will you be flashing the firmware on the affected radios or working around the problem with a software fix? |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | nothappyontario | 11/08/30 5:47 | Is it just me or does the voice search loop seem worse this morning? I turned on 3G just for sport and it fired so continuously that even after I went back to 2G,it still continued. My phone now is quite hot. I just downloaded a slew of updates fro |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | Duffin | 11/08/30 5:49 | @nothappyontario FYI, not sure if you meant it to sound this way or not, but the update won't come from the Market. It will most likely come in the form of previous OS updates, bringing a pop-up on your screen saying one is available. |
| Re: Nexus s Voice search major problem | nothappyontario | 11/08/30 6:57 | Thanks Duffin. When I saw the " updates available" I was hoping it was from Google, but was disappointed to see that they were only apps from the market....still hoping and waiting...... |
