Voice input not working, Android (ver. 3.2.2.2)

Post by jacko310592
Hello,

When trying to report any type of hazard/issue using the voice input to share details (by clicking the microphone symbol), I get an error stating: "Uh-oh!: Record sound activity not found".


I have installed on my device Google's "Voice Search" application.. is this not the application Waze uses for its voice input?


Thank you for any support :D

Worked it out,

Waze uses Android's default "SoundRecorder.apk", so I found the correct apk for my Android version, and now it works.

..not exactly the best way of achieving voice input though as the default sound recorder app takes over the entire screen ..not just a floating pop-up over Waze :/

Hi, I have the same problem, could you share the URL, where you've found relevant info?

Thanks in advance
