Previously Reported Limitations

Issue Description/Issue ID

• Scanning Data Can Override Priority Prompts
  • Priority prompts can be overridden by scanning data at a screen where scanning is a valid input. VOSMB-1415
• Voice Dialogue Continues to Run During Background Activity
  • When waiting for background spinner activity to complete, speech recognition may allow the operator to use some menu items through voice, e.g., Say Again and Help. VOSMB-1406
• Do Not Press the + and – Buttons on SRX3 Headset to Unpair
  • When unpairing your SRX3 headset from an Android device, do not press the + and – buttons simultaneously. This procedure causes known issues with TTS and speech recognition.
  • Proper Procedure: To unpair your SRX3 headset from an Android device, go to your device Bluetooth settings, display the Paired devices screen, select the headset, and tap FORGET to unpair the headset and the Android device. VOSMB-1448
• Pressing Power Button on SRX-SL or SRX2 Headset Causes Unpairing
  • If you press the Power button on your SRX-SL or SRX2 headset, the headset unpairs from the device.
  • Workaround: Power off the headset and re-pair your device and headset. VOSMB-1252
• The application goes into the landscape from Photo Intent
  • Exiting the camera view in the photo intent while in landscape mode causes the application to be in landscape mode, which is not supported and may cause issues.
  • Workaround: Rotate the device to portrait mode before or after exiting the camera view. VOSMB-992
• “GatewayTimeout” error message from Microservices
  • If the mobile application has trouble reaching the Microservices host (“GatewayTimeout”) while attempting to retrieve templates it may force the user to retrain all words for that workflow.
  • Workaround: If you experience this behavior close and restart the app and log in again VOSMB-971
• Do Not Press Next Button Quickly
  • If you have untrained words and get to the template training instructions screen, if you tap the Next button in rapid succession, it can cause the application to shut down unexpectedly. VOSMB-230
• Audio to the Bluetooth Headset Can Fail
  • In some situations, the audio no longer comes through a Bluetooth headset even though it is still paired to the device.
  • Workaround: Unpair and re-pair the headset. VOSMB-28
• Errors while Transmitting Files to VoiceConsole
  • A number of errors may appear in the device logs when transmitting logs to VoiceConsole. In spite of these errors, all log files are eventually transmitted successfully. VOSMB-570
• State Machine Recommendation
  • Do not create a state machine where the first state goes directly into a secondary state machine and sets the next trigger for return. The app becomes unresponsive when returning from the secondary state machine and the second state never runs. VOSMB-465
