hello ! i tried to search everywhere about this problem but no help at all. the thing is that my basic voice dialer does not seem to recognize my voice at all. when i press the voice dialer button a pop up comes up as usual telling me to speak but does nothing except listening. other voice dialer like one in vlingo works fine but that always needs connected to internet. anybody else having this issue. i checked on sony ericsson facebook and there too has been reports of this problem without any improvement or solution from SE.

Posting this to see if anyone else has this, and if any one knows how to make it work.
I use Google Voice for my international calls, but after the upgrade the dialer takes over, Google voice can not be used to "only make international calls"
i have to use "ask for every call" which is not the best solution.
[EDIT] that option does not work either
I'm having the exact same problem.
I even made several international phone calls, thinking that maybe Google Voice was running in the background... now I'll get hit with the charges for international calls from AT&T :s
Any solution to this problem?
I'm using the X10i 2.1 Global firmware on a X10a (AT&T)
hope this helps

Looks like as sony do not use default dialer it is going to be a problem

unfortunately the suggested process does not work
I found a way to make calls by google voice. I went to the browser, went to the google voice website, and from there, I placed the call. Then I received the phone call from my google number, and it connected me to the number I was calling.
It's more troublesome than just using the app, but it is a workaround.
Any other ideas or solutions?

When you do that, aren't you still using the GSM network and your sim card to have the call connected?
I am having identical problems (2.1 Nordic) and trying to use google voice over WiFi to avoid using network minutes but Sony's dialer takes over... hopefully sony or GV will update and fix this real soon... very frustrating

I use Google Voice for international calls... so I'm still using my GSM minutes, but just as a local call, not with international rates.
Have same problem. Cost me one expensive international phone call.
Generic FW, Build 2.0.A.0504 - X10i/ATT USA
GV screen comes up, then native dialer takes over. Have used workaround posted above, but naturally would just like to be able to use it as intended.
Just a heads up to anyone who has updated to 2.1.
I have the Rogers 2.1 and using AT&T as the carrier. GV does not work for ANY of my outgoing phone calls even when I specify to use GV only.
If the issue is SE's dialer, is there a way to revert back to the generic dialer?
Thanks
I'm also having this issue, only after recently upgrading my X10 to the generic 2.1 software. I wonder if anyone has found a solution yet?
I've had this problem since day 1, since I'm from Canada and use my GV to call my american / long distance friends. I have had to use the website workaround since day one, and it really bugs me. When I was working from the iPhone app, it worked properly (call me, then call the number I'm trying to call). Since switching to my X10a, I can't have it just call me, it uses the dialer directly.
So, I use up about 100-200k of my data plan to make the call. Not a big deal, just kind of annoying.
Has anybody noticed issues with google voice on 2.1 roms?
I have tried both .504 and .24 and no luck.
when dialing with google voice: google voice splashes for a split second and then native dialer comes up and dials the number.
This used to work on 1.6, and it works again on 2.2
maybe try reinstall it.
2.1 system apps
I'm sorry for posting in multiple threads on this issue, but several people seem to have raised questions in many forums about Google Voice not working on their X10 after upgrading to various versions of the 2.1 software, but all of the threads seem to have died with no resolution. Has anyone figured out how to get around this issue where outbound calls are displaying the number on the phone's SIM instead of the Google Voice number? I only upgraded to 2.1 on my AT&T Xperia X10 a few days ago, so just now am experiencing this problem, despite using GV without an issue on several phones for almost 2 years.
Thanks in advance!
Hi
I installed " Cyberon Voice Commander " from the Market on my Galaxy S2.
The first time I used my Bluetooth headset to voice dial, the phone asked me to choose which default program I would like to use for Bluetooth voice dialing, the Cyberon voice commander or the Vlingo voice commands, I chose the Cyberon and from then on every time I pressed the Bluetooth headset it would initiate a call using the Cyberon voice commander.
Recently something changed, every time I am pressing the Bluetooth headset it starts the Vlingo voice commands, no matter what I do I can't go back to use the Cyberon voice commander as my default program, I can only use Cyberon if I open the program through my phone.
I tried using voice input and output settings and looking also through the setting of Cyberon and Vlingo, nothing works.
Could someone tell me what am I doing wrong? How do I change the default back to Cyberon.
Many Thanks.
Same problem
I have the same problem, but Galaxy s2 never asked me what application to set as preferred.. simply I can't set Cyberon to start when pressing BT button.
It always start slingo. Maybe because my GS2 was already updated.
Cyberon wrote me it's a samsung not standard managing of BT events.
From what you wrote it seems that at the beginning the implementetion was standard, than an update broke it up.
Have you updated ROM or are samsung apps updates?
It would be nice to repack the old apps to turn back the possibility to choose BT event.
For now I use Tasker to kill Samsung Voice command process and start cyberon. It works fairy well.. but not always perfectly.
Very annoying!!
Any one??
Hi same problem here. I would like to chose the application to start with the bt headset button, but the phone forces to use the vlingo app.
My father has this app on his SGS2 and actually emailed developers about this problem.
The extremely polite and professional support (seriously, I have never read such a concrete and polite reply from a software company, ever!) said, that this is a firmware limitation and they cannot fix it.
I think this started happening after he updated firmware from Polish KF1 to newer one.
They said, that unless Samsung changes this behaviour, they cannot do anything about it, at least they are not aware of the solution for now.
Yes Cyberon folks are very kindly and polite!!
I have found a fix!!
* Root your device
* Set google as default voice recognition instead of vlingo in settings>voice recognition (not sure this is important to do)
* Install Titanium backup (i Have paid full version, but probably you can use free
* Disable "comandi vocali" (Italy) which in english should be like "voice commands"
* Than I have cancelled the BR pairing, restarted the phone and paired BT again...
* Set Cyberon to use long press bt button to start
IT WORKS!!
Hi all.
Yesterday I've updated firmware through KIES to last one for my region. And now I'm facing same problem
Before updating it was possible to select which app will be default for voice dial. Now, even after factory reset, phone doesn't ask me which app to use. And I unable to find "Voice Talk" in the list of All applications to change its defaults.
I don't want to root device and don't want to install firmware through ODIN. Don't ask why Just want my device to be clear.
Any help with this problem will be highly appreciated.
Thank you
Any news about this issue?
Hi all.
Today I've updated firmware through KIES to last one (KG2) for my region (Romania). Now I'm facing same problem as all the others.
Before updating it was possible to select which app will be default for voice dial (Cyberon Voice Speed Dial). Now it is launching the Vlingo by default.
I changed to Google Voice but in vain... It's still launching this useless Vlingo.
Does anybody has found a solution without rooting the phone?
Stefan

I applied solution described in post #5. It works fine.
....but you must be rooted
I have a slightly different problem...
I have no issue using Vlingo (if it worked)
Firstly, it's not responding to pressing the button on my bluetooth anymore.
Secondly, when it did, the device had to be unlocked for it to work.
Damn you Vlingo.
The only legal solution is unfortunately this, as far as I know:
1 Backup the phone
2 Take it to authorized repair service
3 They will "degrade" firmware to the last version which was problem free
4 Restore from backup and hope it will work. More chance to succesfully restore is if you made a backup on previous firmware
5 Reinstall all the apps.
Well done Samsung
Bytheway can anyone tell me what was their last firmware that did not have this issue?
Awful solution.
Anyone with the latest 2.3.4 firmware here? Can you confirm this bug?

I agree but does anyone knows any better without rooting? Everyone must decide the importance of being able to use bluetooth calling from the car. I personaly need it so much I am willing to degrade firmware. I waited with buying gs2 until voice speed dial came up.
Anybody out there good enough to know how to disable or erase voice talk app, integrated in GS2?
Your first question should be how to use the search function in this forum.
Update solved the problem
Hi
Yesterday my Galaxy SII got an update, Android OS got updated from 2.3.4 to version 2.3.6 and Baseband version is now SC02COMKL4.
Now I am able to activate the voice dialing by a long push on the Bluetooth connect button.
Where's voice input key
Overall wonderful rom!! .. but I couldn't find Mic key for activating voice input in my keyboard, evev if in Settings->Keyboard&Languages->"Voice input key" I set both "on main keyboard" or On symbols keyboard".
Anyone can give me a suggestion?
Tnx.

ANOTHER PROBLEM RELATED WITH THE SAME TOPIC
I can start Cyberon Voice Commander (CVC) with BT headset button.
But there is only one problem that I can not solve anymore:
Everytime Note2 is turned off completely or restarted, I have to reassign the BT headset button to Cyberon Voice Comander.
Is there any genious gentleman to help me ?
Thanks.

I am trying to find a solution this this issue that has popped up on tow ROMs that I really like.
On most ROMs when I hit the ear piece to dial out the standard voice dialer app box shows up and asks me what I want to do but on a couple of the ROMs I get a Google box with a red circle asking me to speak now. The issue with that is that it can recognize my voice if I tell it to dial a number but not names from my phonebook. I have to use the voice dialer widget on my home screen to activate standard voice dialer. Anyone know how to disable the Google dialer? Anyone else have this issue? Right now I am using Nocturnals_Xi36*ICS*Sense. Thank you.
Hello Friends,
I am using Google Hangouts Dialer with a Google Voice Number. Whenever I use Hangouts Dialer at work it will connect the two phones via wifi but then there will be no voice heard on either side. It works with wifi everywhere else except with work wifi. Any solutions?
