I'm unable to get voice while the phone is ringing. My profile works perfectly while I test it manually, but while the phone is ringing, it simply refuses to work. Any suggestions?

The profile I'm attempting to create is very similar to http://www.pocketables.com/2013/05/how-to-one-up-the-s4-with-a-voice-controlled-call-answer-feature-in-tasker.html

Maybe try it with the phone on silent to see if there are any potential issues with audio focus?

I turn the phone on silent as part of the task, but it's still not working as it should.

Is Get Voice not triggering, or is it just not understanding what you're saying?
You can't use Get Voice while the mic is being used for something else (learned that the hard way when using Screencast), but that shouldn't be an issue with incoming calls until you pick up the phone

It's not listening to input, it triggers but shows no activity. It's a really odd one for me.

Are you using a Bluetooth headset while trying this?

This works for me, however...

1. The Google Voice popup overlays my phone controls.
2. If I don't speak, the popup displays a different message

Is there a way to hide this popup?

See attached screenshots.

Nope. Just using the phones main microphone.

Here's mine and it just refuses to listen:
PGA.confirmation (58)
A1: Stop [ With Error:Off Task: ] If [ %SCREENISON = 0 ]
A2: Silent Mode [ Mode:On ]
A3: Say [ Text:Will you be taking this call sir? Engine:Voice:default:default Stream:3 Pitch:5 Speed:5 Continue Task Immediately:Off ]
A4: Flash [ Text:Will you be taking this call sir? Long:Off ]
A5: Get Voice [ Title: Language Model:Free Form Maximum Results:1 Timeout (Seconds):5 ]
A6: If [ %VOICE ~ *answer*/*yes* ]
A7: Take Call
A8: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:1 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A9: Speakerphone [ Set:On ]
A10: Else
A11: If [ %VOICE ~ *no*/*hang up* ]
A12: End Call
A13: Else
A14: Goto [ Type:Action Number Number:4 Label: ]
A15: End If
A16: End If
A17: Silent Mode [ Mode:Off ]

That looks similar to mine, and I also have an Announce Caller Profile. I don't see any Contexts, so this must be the action Profile and runs based on '%SCREENISON'. In your Log, does it show this Profile activating...successfully executing 'Get Voice'? Maybe there's an issue with your initial Context.

Process of elimination...have you attempted the Profile with ALL other profiles Off? Do you have any other Apps that interact with your phone, that may be causing interference? In A6, try just using *answer*. I don't believe you need the extra 'End If' (A16).

I would suspect it might me a device issue.

What phone are you using?
What android version?

Oh, that wasn't the whole profile, just the task.

Here's the whole Profile:
Profile: Proximity Gesture Answer (46)
State: Proximity Sensor
State: Call [ Type:Incoming Number:* ]
State: Orientation [ Is:Face Up ]
Enter: PGA.confirmation (58)


A1: Stop [ With Error:Off Task: ] If [ %SCREENISON = 0 ]
A2: Silent Mode [ Mode:On ]

A3: Say [ Text:Will you be taking this call sir? Engine:Voice:default:default Stream:0 Pitch:5 Speed:5 Continue Task Immediately:Off ]

A4: Flash [ Text:Will you be taking this call sir? Long:Off ]
A5: Get Voice [ Title: Language Model:Free Form Maximum Results:1 Timeout (Seconds):5 ]
A6: If [ %VOICE ~ *answer*/*yes* ]
A7: Take Call
A8: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:1 Minutes:0 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A9: Speakerphone [ Set:On ]
A10: Else
A11: If [ %VOICE ~ *no*/*hang up* ]
A12: End Call
A13: Else
A14: Goto [ Type:Action Number Number:4 Label: ]
A15: End If
A16: End If
A17: Silent Mode [ Mode:Off ]

I'll have to try turning other profiles off. It'll be a pain, but maybe it'll solve it.
