I think as a user I have 2 modes: 1. Q&A mode where it's basically Google search by voice. 2. I'm trying to process an idea I have with an LLM buddy.

My desires are pretty different in the two scenarios. Q&A mode if it's not quick to respond I'll think something is wrong with my phone.

Deep think mode I'm honestly kind of pissed off at how fast it tries to respond. I want it to slow down and give me a chance to process and use extra compute on its side (including newer models) so it doesn't just spew low thought bullshit at me.

It seems like the system could detect which of these two modes was happening and adapt, including protocol.

I haven't tried the voice mode since the new model updates, maybe it's gotten better.

Counter to everything I just said though and germain to the topic at hand, when I'm in q&a mode that's probably the worst time for it to drop audio as it changes the query significantly. vs when I'm talking at it for 2 minutes it could probably throw half away.
