Dear GrapheneOS community,

I recently switched to GrapheneOS with my new Pixel 9a. All in all it works well, but there's still one or two things I just cannot get to work.

Whenever I start GPS navigation, I can hear a voice saying a single sentence and then just stopping and silence for the rest of the drive.

I tried the following apps:

  • Osmand
  • Organic Maps
  • CoMaps

I have installed RHVoice as TTS software.

When starting navigation, Osmand tells me how long my journey will take and how much distance I have to drive and that's the last thing I ever hear from Osmand voice navigation.

Organic Maps navigation tells me the first thing I need to do on the drive (e.g. "turn right in 400m") and then not a single word for the rest of the drive.

CoMaps seems to be the same.

If I enable Osmand Development Plugin in Osmand, I can then test voice output, which works perfectly. It just does not work when I need it and I have no idea why.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[EDIT]

If anyone comes here from google or somewhere to find help, I sadly have no solution to present. I just gave up and uninstalled all navigation / TTS apps.

I tried different navigation apps, so it isn't a navigation app problem. I tried different TTS engines, so it's not an TTS engine problem either.

Uh yeah, GLaDOS voice! I'll try SherpaTTS tomorrow.

I'll report back tomorrow, thank you very much!

    Sadly, that did not solve my problems either.

    There's still no voice output except for the first sentence of all of the navigation apps and when I test the voice navigation with osmand development plugin.

    GLaDOS voice is working though, just not when navigating. So, when you actually need it.
