Last week I thought voice stopped working,but in a completely quiet environment I could hear the voice was still speaking, although inaudible with car noise around. Found out that in the newer updated the volume of the voice is governed by the volume setting in Music. Go there, crank the volume way up, and see if that fixes silent voice problem. It did mine.

Mine just keeps telling me “turn right at Boughton Road..” NO MATTER WHERE I”M GOING! That’s all she says, the same thing, no matter where I’m driving too!

Recently, my voice navigation has stopped working completely and even the map doesn’t like to follow me as I am driving. I’ve been looking all over for a fix, but I can’t seem to find one.

I have problems for sure since the update. It’s however just the female voice switching back and forth form the old voice to the new. I’ll tell you now that it makes the old voice sounds like a chain smoking bartender.

So I had just uninstalled the updates as a temporary fix but it now out of now where during navigaion the voice comes on and starts reading some sort of url and other random stuff! this is a huge issue and needs to be fixed immediatly it’s not only distracting but very dangerous as well.

Yes, have not been getting street names for a while now on my G-Nexus Verizon. This needs to be fixed as you have to keep taking your eyes off of the road to check where you’re supposed to turn.

I’m using a GSM GNex Stock Android 4.0.4 and it doesn’t even talk. All I hear are beeps when it’s time to turn. No voice, no nothing. I thought it was a glitch or something at first. Tried restarting phone, clearing cache, data but to no avail. Google, please fix. Thank you.

Since Google/Verizon refuses to address this the only fix is to go to the maps app and “uninstall updates” that will do it.

Yes, my stock Nexus on 4.0.2 does not announce street names anymore, it only gives directions. C’mon Verizon/Google?

This is the exact problem I have been having for the past couple weeks now. It’s very irritating. Mine’s a Verizon Galaxy Nexus at 4.0.2. The phone has not detected a system update yet, but hopefully it will get to me soon.

Verizon Nexus with most recent Maps update and I’m also having the same issues with Navigation not saying street names.

You can change the speed of speech by going into (depending on your device it may vary, but on the Verizon Nexus it is as follows) settings>Language & input>Text-to-speech output>Speech rate

My Galaxy Nexus has most definitely lost the “street name” navigation since the last update. I used to marvel at how it accurately reflected that the street I lived on “turned into Salem Drive” mid street. Now, it just says “go straight and turn left.” Very disappointing…as many things have been with this $300 phone I made the mistake of purchasing. No updates in 5+ months. Random reboots. Locks up frequently. And now this.

IMM30 404, Gnex, got to test it, no issues for me. But what is up with trying voice to text here in discus, and lag just typing…
