Looking at your signature, you are rooted yes?
If so, do you have titanium backup? if so, then you can choose to either freeze or delete vlingo(freezing is the safest option, in case you decide you may want to use the app, or just in case).
You can also use root explorer to delete vlingo.

I had the same problem, bothered me to death; Solution above is the only solution I've found so far. One thing I've noticed though since freezing Vlingo: Now it just sometimes does literally nothing when I press my home button (probably when I use my home button twice with almost no pause between)
(btw: U gotta look for "Speech", "Sprache", "Voice" or something like that, in your language)
Thank you both for answering! I had tried both solutions but didnt find Vlingo to delete, so specially thanks to kaassema for

Because it sometimes starts on accident, for example when pressing the home-button twice fast, when all you wanted was twice the action of a one-button-press...
...or for clarification: I really have no use for Vlingo, nor intention to start it, yet I have seen it's interface at least 35 times already... By accident! Thus disabled it

You can disable Vlingo quite easiily on the Samsung Galaxy S2.
Settings>Language and Keyboard>Samsung keypad>Voice Input
Untick the box and the double click on home no longer brings up Vlingo.

What if I'm using Swype keys?
Seems your suggestion didn't work.
{i'm assuming the settings is overriding global setting}
JohnN6. That does actually not work. Even if you do that, disable the processes and swipe the data for Vlingo, it will always start, with Eula questions and everything, every time you either double-tap home, or more itrritatingly, if you hit your headset button to try and bring up any preferred installed dialer. The latest three software-updates for the S2 has been like this. And to add insult to injury, Vlingo has actually no hope of working for a Swede like me. Even if I tried to voice-dial a Swedish friend, by idiotically trying to pronounce the swedish names in English, it has almost zero chance to do a correct detection.
This software just has to be able to be disabled again (like the first Software version my S2 came delivered with). I am seriously thinking of just throwing the phone and get something else over this issue. Having to touch the phone to dial anyone is in my occupation often putting me in life-threatening situations. So it is really, really bad all of this...
@ SDPlus: I had the same problem and solved it. Using Titanium Backup free version on a rooted SGS2, it was easy (all english commands are translated from German, so could be not perfect):
First I entered Titanium, "Backup & Restore", and searched for "Vlingo". As a result there came "Sprachsuche", which is German for voice search. Pointing on it long enough brought up a menu, where I could choose "backup", and after that I clicked in the same menu on "force to stop". Then I clicked on "uninstall", and off it went.
Since I have a better app for voice dial (cyberon), Vlingo was pain. Now Cyberon works as expected.
Reasons for getting rid of Vlingo (someone asked): 1. I don't want to accept their terrible terms, where I allow to collect data about everything I do , whom I call, when, whatever. Disagreeing ends up in a not working voice-dial, even if you have a paid app for that installed. That is kidnapping. 2. It does not work good enough for me. 3. If I want to be binded to a software, I would have decided to buy an IPhone.
tnx it fixed my problem too
PS: In dutch/flemish it's called "spraakopdrachten".
If you freeze it with Titanium backup the double press doesn't work anymore.
You da man, thanks much for the info.....worked perfetly!!!
I want to take the subject and would like to know if you have any good replacement for the Vlingo app?
And if it have Portuguese language!?
Thanks!

Doesn't work. I have it like that for months and voice command it is still popping up .
Very annoying
Anyone have a fix to stop Vlingo poping up all the time? Even if I dont double press the home key it comes up. Very annoying. I dont have my phone rooted either.
The best way which i did last week
I ROOTED my Galaxy s2
Installed titanium tool and I freeze the voice command
Never again I got the voice command pop up
For those who already seeking for a salvation:
Get your phone rooted, instally Titanium Backup (even free version).
When you in Titanium Backup press menu and hit Filters, enter Vlingo, Accept. And then Go to Batch operations scroll down to Freeze apps and there you will only see Vlingo sh.t in your language just hit the Run button and you are now FREE FROM VLINGO.

I never accepted the eula after ics update. Don't think that matters. No more vlingo ! Swype still fully functional.

Have you tried voice search on another device? Reason I ask is last year I had issues with voice search returning jibberish when I used it, problem was with the voice data they collected getting screwed up online. If voice search fails on another device that's most likely the cause. You can clear the data in your Google account.
i think i might have misunderstood you. I use the actual google voice app for texting and I can search fine. there is another app call Voice Search which is completely different.
In any case, Voice Search app does not recognize that I say.

have you try using "Sound Recorder" app from Alpha 3, It is not working for me as well, the sound record got abnormal playback. the sound record only work on WebOS ! Sad.....
Google voice search from the market does not work for me either, but.... the mic button on smart keyboard pro does work. It works pretty good, especially if you talk directly into the top of the touchpad where the mic is. Just thought I'd let you guys know. FWIW the voice recording app ALSO works for me. it sounds a bit muffled, but it does record and playback legibly.

I've had Molten 2.1 since the day ryman released it, and it's running great but, just realized that when I hold down the search button ScreenGrabber is activated rather than Voice Search.
I flashed it over stock GB 2.3.4.
I checked ScreenGrabber for any options to disable this but there are none.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
And thanks to ryman for the awesome ROM. It runs great.

I think the solution would be to just tap the button, not hold.

Yeah. When you hold down search button on the phone (actual hard button) it opens up screen grabber. I like it though.

Are you wanting to voice search the net? If so there is a voice button on that search bar when you short press.

Have you tried going to settings, applications, and browse the all tab for screengrabber. select it and pick clear defaults. See if that helps, I have yet to try Molten, don't know if this will help/work. Good Luck

Sorry for the late reply.
In stock and previous versions of Molten, when I press and hold the Search hard button, it would open Voice Commands. As someone mentioned, it's great for driving and being lazy. Currently, it opens up screengrabber.
You cannot clear the defaults on screengrabber. I backed it up and uninstalled it with TB. That is a crappy work around but it does work. Although, it doesn't work with a Bluetooth hands free device. Pressing the search key used to open voice commands, now it simply calls back your most recent call.
I haven't had time to flash M2.2 but I will. Thanks again for the help!
In previous versions of the Shostock ICS ROM, when I used voice commands with my Blueant Q2 headset, it automatically used Samsung Voice Command for making hands-free calls (worked great). But since I upgraded to 4.1.4, it defaults to Google Voice Dialer and then doesn't work. I can't find GVD in the applications list to deactivate nor can I find a way to make SVC the default.
Shoman didn't have any idea about the problem.
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
I think shoman misunderstood your original question when he responded about installing SVC yourself, but you only gave him a couple hours to respond to your clarification about setting the default before you posted over here.
Which voice command pops up for you now when you press the search button on the phone? The Google Now one that has "Search, or say Google" in the search bar or a different one?

When I press the button my Blueant Q2 headset, the Google Voice Dialer pops up. The little red circle to the right of Google then has a never-ending circling line and GVD never seems to engage.
I want SVC to pop up, not GVD.
Does that help? Can you help?
BTW, I just upgraded to Shostock 4.1.4.
Gotcha. I think I understand. Have you tried a long press on your phone's search button to pop up all search/dial options and set Samsung's to default?

I just tried long pressing Search, per your suggestion, and set Samsung Voice Talk as the default. After that, when I long press Search SVC comes up. But when I use my headset, GVD still pops up.
Other ideas?
I do appreciate the help...
After messing around some, this seems to be a problem with 4.1.4. I use AVX as my default and hadn't gotten around to reinstalling it since I flashed shoman's latest. After restoring it, I set it to default and am having the same exact deal as you, a press on the search button opens Google Now but my headset starts the Google dialer with the spinning red circle even though my default is set to something else. A long press on the search button will open my default, though.
Just flashed back to 4.1.2 and the problem persisted, so it isn't the latest version of the Shostock ROM.
So what has changed? I don't know. But being able to voice dial while driving is essential for me and I can't do it now.
Thoughts?

It's more than that. Before Google Now, a press on the phone's search button opened whatever your default was set to (same as a long press on my Plantronics set). Now, a press always opens Google Now's search, and a long press opens your default. I could live with that, but our headsets now always open up neither, it starts the old google voice command. Pretty funky.

Hardly an "epic fail" on your part given the awesome ROM that you have created.
Any solution?
I restored back to 4.1.1 and it works great. As I need hands-free, I'll stick with that until this problem gets ironed out (or you create a JB ROM!).

I looked to see if anyone else was having this issue and found that there was not a thread for it yet. Instead of going into detail, I have simply posted my exchange with LG from online support, since it is all describe there.
David Miller: I preordered and now have an LG G3, which I think is a wonderful device, except for an issue that I have related to the LG voice recognition software. I am frequently in my car and use bluetooth. When I press the bluetooth button, I get the LG voice control software, "Say a Command." When I say a command, it is on the rare occassion that the software actually gets it right. Typically, it says, "command not recognized" to something as simple as "call mom mobile," or when it asks whether I want to call mom mobile and I say yes, it also says command not recognized.
David Miller: The other thing that I noticed is that it is more likely to get the command correct if I do not wake the software by bluetooth, but instead wake the phone and unlock the screen.
David Miller: I previously got the advice to restore factory settings, which I did. No improvement.
Frank: i understand
David Miller: Google Now seems to recognize my commands with no issues whatsoever.
David Miller: Also, the ok genie command doesn't seem to work.
Frank: in this case i can escalate the issue
Frank: to have an update pushed out to solve this issue.
If anyone has experienced this issue and has found a solution, please post here. Thanks.

Not a clue unfortunately. Couldn't even do it with my previous Nexus phone. Google had the dialer attached to the bluetooth rather than Google Now. It completely limited the actions that you could perform with bluetooth, but at least it recognized my command to call.

You can setup Google Now to record through bluetooth.
Touch the microphone, then the settings. Now choose "voice" .
Now go to the bottom of the page and select "Bluetooth Headset".
Now select "OK Google Detection" and select all the boxes.
You should be good.
OK Google would work everywhere and through the BT headset.

Same issue and I'm SO dissapointed. Upgraded from an S4...and today I get on my motorcycle, paired just fine, pressed the button on my Sena SMH10, and heard nothing for about 10 minutes. Stopped at a light, pulled out my phone, and Voice Command was still "initializing". Put it back in my pocket, and then a few minutes later it scared the crap out of me yelling "Say a command!!!". I said "play music" and it wanted to call someone. I said "No", and it didn't recognize my command. What a POS!
I need the ability to send texts, make calls, play music (select artist or album, etc.).
Really upset... I guess I'll try to disable it and use OK Google, but I know already that when I say "play music" its going to be streaming stuff and not using my local music.
If anyone finds a fix for this, please let me know.
Thanks,

This is going to sound a bit odd, but I think that the phone is not initially using the bluetooth mic, but instead that on the phone. When I have the phone near my mouth after hitting the bluetooth button, it seems to get my commands right. I sent an email to LG customer support to see if they have any fixes in the works.
VoiceCommand 1.1.1
HERE'S ANOTHER WORKAROUND BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO MANUALLY PUT PHONE BACK TO SLEEP AFTER USING....
I am using the Jawbone IconHD, shouldn't matter but It works.
Must Be Rooted, Must have Titanium Backup!!
1.Download VoiceCommand https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.itdevcrowd.voicecommand
2. Open TB, find Voicecommand 1.1.1 - Tap it - swipe to the left - scroll down to CONVERT TO SYSTEM APP
3. Put phone to sleep, hold down button on Headset.....Google Now
FOR WHATEVER REASON THIS WORKAROUND WILL OVERRIDE THE "DIM AND PUT TO SLEEP AFTER SO MANY MINUTES" BUT AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT WAKE PHONE WITH BT BUTTON, PHONE WILL GO BACK TO SLEEP AS USUAL
NoI installed Bluetooth Launcher yesterday, to use with my hbs-800 headset, now get Google now voice actions instead of lg.
The font is ridiculously small on a g3; if you have an HDMI output adapter, use it, to select Google search, them the second voice actions option in the sublist that opens.
I can now use commands like Call, weather in, directions to, start, ...
I'll check out voice command, sounds like it gets to the same result, but without futzing with the selection window.
I didn't know TB had the promote to system app function. Thanks!
I second this app. No frills, but very useful. Can set the button on your headset to launch whatever you like, including Google Now voice launcher. Works great.

I wanted to note that the entry you want to check is different than one you mentioned, at least on my phone.
For me, it is actually the 4th one down, "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.voicesearchactivity

Thanks for the correction, memory is the first thing to go
Anyhow, I'm enjoying BT launcher. The one thing I would love is to find a working widget to turn GPS on or off, so I could use "start gpstoggle" as a spoken command. So far the only one I've seen that actuality does this is the GPS part of power toggles, and there is no way to split that element off as a standalone commandable action. Everything else I've tried just acts as a shortcut to the Locations tab, you still have to then press the on/off button.
i have the same problem!

I looked to see if anyone else was having this issue and found that there was not a thread for it yet. Instead of going into detail, I have simply posted my exchange with LG from online support, since it is all describe there.
David Miller: I preordered and now have an LG G3, which I think is a wonderful device, except for an issue that I have related to the LG voice recognition software. I am frequently in my car and use bluetooth. When I press the bluetooth button, I get the LG voice control software, "Say a Command." When I say a command, it is on the rare occassion that the software actually gets it right. Typically, it says, "command not recognized" to something as simple as "call mom mobile," or when it asks whether I want to call mom mobile and I say yes, it also says command not recognized.
David Miller: The other thing that I noticed is that it is more likely to get the command correct if I do not wake the software by bluetooth, but instead wake the phone and unlock the screen.
David Miller: I previously got the advice to restore factory settings, which I did. No improvement.
Frank: i understand
David Miller: Google Now seems to recognize my commands with no issues whatsoever.
David Miller: Also, the ok genie command doesn't seem to work.
Frank: in this case i can escalate the issue
Frank: to have an update pushed out to solve this issue.
If anyone has experienced this issue and has found a solution, please post here. Thanks.[/QUOTE
I am having the exact same issues, all other v commands work except the LG phones v command for placing call and or opening apps. I hope someone will correct this quickly otherwise I will have to go back to my Motorola, I really like the LG with this exception but it is a serious issue because I really need to be totally hands free.

On my Verizon LG G3, I followed the directions in this thread to disable the "Voice Command" app from within the Application Manager and I ensured that "Bluetooth Headset" was on from within the Google Settings app under the "Voice" menu. When I press the Bluetooth button in my Toyota Tacoma, it now calls up the Google app which prompts me for a voice instruction. These steps eliminate LG's crappy Voice Command app. :victory:

My D855 with stock ROM is completely unresponsive to the Bluetooth push button.
I set the:
Google -> Search -> voice -> Hands free -> Allow Bluetooth request on locked screen
Google -> Search -> voice -> Record from Bluetooth
The oldest firmware I tried was STOCK ROM v21A.
I am not alone with this problem:

May be an older Android version triggers Voice recognition from Bluetooth.
