(Google) Voice Search "Server Problem" on razr maxx

[trhoads66]

Nice! I just un-synced my contacts from my main Google account and now Google Voice Command/Search widget/function works. Thanks to Drrooiid and Msblueline for taking the step in figuring this out! I'd still like to know - is that happening to all users who have their Google contacts synced - or just some phones? Or some google accounts?

Also - is there a way to sync Google contacts without having them synced in the main Google account? I guess i could create a new Google account, copy the contacts somehow from my Main google account, and then sync the secondary account? Or can't the contacts be synced for any Google account, for Google Voice Search to work?

Thanks for the props... You can't have ANY Google account constantly sync'ing contacts or "Server Problem"... No biggie... Just manually sync them when you make changes.

No, it is not happening on all the phones. The display model in the store has all four syncs checked and voice search works just fine, of course that phone has no contacts on it (that I'm aware of). It is a display model. The rep I spoke to had the same issue with his phone (he has the DROID MAXX) and he unsynced his contacts and it started working just fine for him.

I have this same problem on my Galaxy Nexus with ICS 4.0.2 and even with a factory reset I still had the server problem voice search issue. If i disable contact syncing then I can voice search successfully. So it's not a hardware problem with Motorola (or Samsung), but ICS won't fix the problem for you. We may have some kind of similar issue with our contacts.

My problem with it is that it won't stop getting me to sign up for it and activate it. Even though I already did activate it, it keeps telling me to start it.

I am chiming in not to "brag" but to try to help...I have one Google account on my phone and have everything syncing and am not experiencing the server problems as described here. I can do a voice search using the widget as well as long pressing the search button.

I'm sorry some of you have this issue.
