X1 Voice Remote - Voice part doesn't work well

So I just got the X1 Voice Remote yesterday (7/30/15). Beautiful remote btw. It comes with a setup guide which I followed word for word (that's important for people to understand, I literally did the setup instructions to the letter) .... the remote works great....except the voice command part of it, you know the whole main feature of the remote -- doesn't work with much reliability.  At initial setup voice commands worked perfectly for a good 20 minutes..... then it stopped working. In frustration I powered off my entire X1 cable box...waited a minute or two and powered it back on. The voice commands worked again until I went to bed. This morning before I went to work voice command worked (I only gave one command this morning). Tonight I'm trying it out again...voice command is not working again.  During this whole time it should be noted -- ALL other aspects of the remote works perfectly....plus it controls my tv on/off and volume perfectly as well as that for my receiver. The only thing that seems sketchy is the voice feature.....To be honest the voice command is more a gimmick feature to me than anything...but it does annoy me that its not working. I mean the thing is BRAND NEW.

I must admit, it has been quite a while since I have tried voice command on my XR11. I tried saying channel names vs. channel numbers and it worked just fine. With most channels but not all.
However, it occured to me the mic in the XR11 could be responding to background noise including the TVs (or audio systems) own volume level.
Maybe you could pay attention to the sound levels in the background and see what happens...

It is supposed to be that smart.  And I even saw it work in the store.  The rep said "Watch ESPN" and it changed the channel to espn, without explicitly telling it the channel number.  Comcast even has this type of feature listed for the remote.   What boggles me is the it does kinda work sometimes, it just goes to the wrong channel.

    Hi!
    I restarted the computer, but the same issue happens again. When I move my mouse over some object or tool, it doesn’t come active at all (only some of the tools works) When I try to change “site properties”, I can’t choose tablet or phone mode or even I can’t select the checkboxes, only thing what I can do is change the numbers (high and width) . After all the main problem is that I can’t select some of the items or functions by mouse, but only by the keyboard.

  • Audio out port doesn't work well

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro 13-inch, Early 2011. Since I bought it I always use my Mac whit headphones, but since a month it only works well the left headphone. I think that the problem it was my headphones but no, because I used it on my phone and workes well. So i come to the conclusion that the audio out port doesn't work well. What you think? And what you recommend to me to fix this problem?

    Probably still under warranty, but not for long. Take it to the Apple Store or AASP to have it checked ASAP.

  • Urgent - Upgraded Form doesn't works well with values saved by previous ver

    Hi all,
    Form i m working on has changed many times due to change in requirments.
    Everytime i do addition in old form, it doesn't works well be data saved by older versions.
    e.g.
    Current Version that i have upgraded fetchs the data well from database on query. But when i save it, clear or exit the form and then re-query that data, it doesn't show up instead meassage comes that query caused no records to be fetched.
    i checked at database level, data is there.
    and when i tried to call data from old form, it also refused to show it (data that was previously entered by itself but then saved by new form).
    what could be the problem and i can i resolve it.
    plz note that in all of this process, there are no database level changes, only form level changes.
    regards,
    yasir

    sounds like spaces are being padded at the end of the data
    check the length of the values you've changed in sqlplus and see if they are indeed right padded

  • Sun one server 6.0 doesn't work well with explorer

    We've sun one server 6.0 sp4 running in a sparc server as SSL server and too as common server on port 80. The most our clients , 95%, are explorer browser users.
    The server has known bugs with SSL3 , interoperatibility with MSIE problem 532427. The solutions suggested in the server documentation don't work. We tryed the solutions suggested many times and in few time we got complaints from clients, people get "this page can't be displayed". I had to set the server to work with SSL2 only , althought security's reports tell that this protocol is not safe.
    The second bug is concern the latencies loading pages with explorer. I apply the solution suggested, KeepAliveQueryMeanTime 1, it doesn't work well too. We don't feel the latencies on new machines or light browsers as avant , but we still feel these latencies with old machines or if the users uses modem. A lot of people still see very strong latencies.
    I feel the server wasn't tested enough with explorer browser , it has so many compatibility problems with this browser.I think for the most webmasters the perfect compatibility with explorer is very important.
    We payed for this server and it is worst than apache ,apache group fixed the SSL problem long time ago. Only one thing we need doesn't work well in apache then we contenue to use sun one server. But this diference is not enough to justify the use of this server if sun don't fix these problems. I'm talking about problems they exist more than 1 year, they were when i installed the server then i contenue to work with iplanet 4.1 and SSL2. I read the new version server characteristics, version 6.1 , i didn't find anything telling that these problems were fixed.

  • TS3367 facetime doesn't work well after upgrading to ios8. I need to make a call several times to connect.

    Facetime doesn't work well after upgrading to ios8.
    When I make a facetime call, it doesn't sound some times on the other side.
    When it rings on the other side and is answered, it says (connecting), but it is still ringing on my side and never connected.
    After that, I disconnect and make a second call, it sometimes connects, but not everytime.
    I need to call several times to connect. It is really hard to connect through facetime after upgrading to ios8.
    I purchased three iPad so far because of this good feature (facetime).
    Please fix this issue as soon as possible.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    There are two easy fixes to this.
    One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
    Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
    Hope this helps!

    Gmail doesn't work well on my ipad, it gets hung all the time. Can you kindly help me?

    You probably want to start by updating your OS, if your information is correct and you are still running 5.1.1. You may also want to try the Gmail app. I find it works very well.

  • Iphone 4s visual voice mail doesn't work

    I set up new iphone 4s and visual voice doesn't work
    I wiped it out and restored..still no working
    tried set up as new phone and still not working
    companion Iphone 4s works fine

    Voice mail, including visual voice mail, is a carrier feature. Contact your carrier again and escalate the call until you get hold of someone with a clue.
    This is assuming you're using a Straight Talk CDMA iPhone. If you're using an unlocked iPhone with a Straight Talk GSM SIM card, that's not supported by either StraightTalk or Apple.

  • Views dropdown on list view web part doesn't work

    Thank you very much beforehand for any help with this issue, I really can't figure out what is going on.
    So, I have big list (36125 items and about 25 public views there) and view selector on list view web part just stopped respond there couple of days ago. You click on down arrow and nothing happens... There are no any java script errors in browser console,
    there are no any errors in ULS log. Profiler shows that request even is not sent to server when you click it to get list of views.
    At the same time, this web-part works correctly with other lists on this site. 
    Do you have any ideas?

    Hi,
    I understand that the view drop down doesn’t work for a specific list. Can you browse these publish views by manually change the view name in the URL? There are two view drop downs in the ribbon(one under the List tab and one under the browser tab). Are
    they all not working?
    It is a big list, you need to make sure that there are no more than 5000 items in a single view. Only 8 lookups can be added to a view at the same time. You need to make sure that these thresholds.
    For more information about these thresholds, please refer  to this site:

  • Mic/Remote on headset doesn't work correctly with my iPhones iPod

    Currently I'm using a third party headset because my original apple headset broke.. Sometimes when I first plug in the headset it'll automatically start playing music, fast forward songs, skip tracks, and randomly stop and start again. I usually solve this by unplugging the headset and plugging it back in. Once it has stopped doing all that mumbo jumbo with the iPod I can listen to music just fine but the mic/remote function doesn't work at all.. The mic doesn't work forsure because when I get called they cannot hear me.
    I troubleshooted with my boss's iPhone 3GS and tried my third party headset on her phone and it worked just fine mic/remote and all. So I took her original headset and plugged it into my iPhone to see if it was a problem with my phone and it worked just fine.. I hear about people saying lint may be the problem in the jack but I took an air compressor and cleared it out and vacuumed it and no lint was found..
    Anyone got any idea what could be the problem?? I really liked using my mic/remote so if anyone can help me out that would be great..

  • Remote/USB debug doesn't work for me in iOS

    I'm trying to debug my app in the iPad, but whenever I use the ipa-debug or ipa-debug-interpreter targets, the app just plain doesn't work. It gets stuck in the first screen and nothing happens, no matter if I use -connect "my-ip" (remote debugging) or if I use -listen myPort (USB debugging). The app just doesn't work.
    If I use ipa-test-interpreter or ipa-ad-hoc, then it does work, but of course I can't debug. This happens in AIR 3.6 and also previous versions as well.
    My command line:
    "c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS6\AIR3.6\bin\adt.bat" -package -target ipa-debug-interpreter -connect "192.168.1.11" -provisioning-profile ..\cert\ios\iPad2_01.mobileprovision -storetype pkcs12 -keystore ..\cert\ios\ios_dev.p12 -storepass MyPassword MyApp.ipa MyApp-app.xml -C . MyApp_ios.swf icons\MyApp_icon.png Default-Landscape.png -extdir ..\ane
    Did someone experience the same?

    Can you please report a bug for the same @bugbase.adobe.com with a sample app(source code ,swf, app-xml and assets/ane) with which bug can be reproduced?
    Also you can provide me the sample app(source code ,swf, app-xml and assets/ane) @[email protected] so that I can give it a try.
    Please share the bug number here.

  • Ipad 2 updraded to ios 6.0.1 and doesn't work well

    I have recently upgraded my ipad2 to ios 6.0.1 and my safari browsers doesn't wprk well now. can i downgrade it to previous one?

    Downgrading iOS is not supported.
    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari via the taskbar and see if it works better when re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it (you could also close your the other apps that are on the taskbar), and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Mail search doesn't work well after changing mail file to another drive

    Hi, I need some help making the search in mail work for Mountain Lion. After I changed the mail folder to a new drive, SSD, creating an alias, everything works fine for mail except the search. When I search most of the times I get back emails that I received before doing the change.
    I already tried at rebuilding the mailboxes, and also I erased the Envelop index files, and they rebuilt themselves, and still the search is not working properly for the emails I have received since I changed the mail files to the new drive.
    Other than that the mail program is working well and as I work a lot with search I am experiencing a loss of productivity.
    I wouldn't like to revert it to the old drive, as the new drive is SSD and goes much faster for the big size of my mail fines.
    Thank you for your help !
