Moto X Text Messages

I have a different question but it is about text and touchless control

I ask Google to text and I expected it to be touchless but how do I actually send it without touching ? I tried to ask but seems like it I not 100% touchless if I have to push send ?

that is correct, it is not 100% touchless.

Turned on assist yesterday and started having this problem shortly after. I'd assume clearing the cache on the assist app would reset it but I have no idea what would keep it from happening again.

As someone mentioned disabling the app for Motorola assist talk to me works, but I'm not sure if that also disables this feature while driving.

That stinks I hope they fix that ! Glass will send the text automatic so should moto x

 

[asylvia]

any updates on the Moto Assist issue?

I was having this issue for the last several days but it seems to have stopped as of today. It could be just coincidental, but I updated the TalkBack app in the Play Store and the issue with every text being read aloud went away. It's also weird that TalkBack wasn't appearing in my "Needs to be updated" section but when I clicked on it, an update was available. Hope this helps.

I just bought the phone about 3 hours ago, and I haven't had this issue that everyone has been talking about.

I had this problem too, did a factory reset. I hadn't put driving mode back on, but I will and see if it's still happening.

after disabling talk to me service, how do you enable it?

I think I got it to stop by disabling the Motorola Assist Talk to Me service under All Apps. A temporary fix but it doesn't seem to affect anything else by disabling it.

It will now be listed at the bottom of your application list under the "all" column instead of in alphabetical order. Just scroll all the way down and click on it.

That is surprising. I would expect it to be totally touchless.

Hey all, I posted this question to Motorola over at their official forum. One of their MOTOXPRT's or forum managers replied and said he was submitting this issue to the dev team. I highly suggest anyone here who's having this issue too, visit the page and let them know. Perhaps with more input, we can figure out what's causing the damn annoyance.

After using this today, the problem seems solved. I did the Talkback update via the play store, after a factory reset. YMMV, but worth a shot.

ive spent the last three hours trying to figure this out, but didnt. I couldnt google it cause apparently downloading my apps used up all my prorated 2gb of data for the rest of the month, i already miss unlimited...Hopefully this **** gets fixed soon, its the most annoying thing ive ever had happen to a phone

 

[asylvia]

what did you change to get it to work?

He said he did the Talkback update from the play store

FWIW, this issue with Assist talking all the time was raised in one of the very early reviews of the Moto X as a critical bug. Engineers assured the journalist they were already working on the problem. Looks like a manual update for Talkback is the solution. Anyone have the problem post-update?

 

[theobject]

I did a manual update for TalkBack and I still have the same issue. TalkBack is even turned off on the accessibility settings. Finding this quite annoying.

Update:I disabled Motorola Assist Talk to Me and now I don't get the screen at all just a notification in the notification bar. So it appears to be related to that app.

Disable Motorola Assist Talk To Me. This fixed the issue for me...for now. I hope they fix this soon.
