[Q] Stock Bluetooth Voice Dialer App? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm not a fan of the Voice Talk App that comes with the SGS II, purely because it can't seem to recognize what I'm saying half of the time. So I froze it using Titanium Backup.
How do i get the stock android bluetooth voice dialer working on my phone now? It was part of the Cyanogenmod 7+ ROM for my HTC Magic. I installed Google Voice Search from the market, hoping that it'll be part of that, but it wasn't.
Anyone know what's the app or how I could get hold of it?
Thanks in advance!

Bump.. anyone?

I have setting up as English(us), whatever I say, the result always is "mmm"
I have try recording voice at Webos, it is OK, but not working at android !
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.

Good to hear that I am not alone !
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.

[Q] S Voice - use third party TTS Ivona?

I want S Voice to talk back to me using Ivona TTS. I can't see a setting to make it do this.
Menu - Settings - Language & Input - Speech - Text-to-speech output is set to use Ivona, but S Voice ignores this setting. Any way to get it to use Ivona?
Bumping this up as I still haven't managed to sort it. Any ideas, peeps?
Bump.
I would also like to know how to get this to work. Everything I've tried just uses the stock speak n' spell voice.
can't do it
I think Samsung does not make this possible, Sorry buddy you just have to stick with S-voice or you could try Google Now.

IVONA Voice did work with S-Voice before jellybean, most of the time anyway. Hasn't worked at all since, and I've tried all the recommended fixes on the Ivona FAQ page for upgrade complications (first, switching away from Ivona, testing voice, switching back, and second, uninstalling, deleting files and reinstalling). Samsung helpline was no help - dude had no clue what TTS even is. Haven't heard back from Ivona on this.

AT&T Visual Voicemail Apk

Here is the AT&T visual voicemail app.. When searching th play store, it says this is not compatible. It said that with the original HOX also, but works absolutley perfect. No need for that horrible ATT Messages app. This works much much better. Make sure "unknown sources" in security is checked. Copy to SD card and browse with file explorer and install. Of course you can use ADB to push it also. My favorite must have program on my PC for working with files and apps from the phone is android commander. If you dont have it, get it. . www.androidcommander.com Again If you dont have it, it is a 100% must have, get it. Here is the voicemail app, or just click below.
Edit: For some people you must have Visual Voice Mail provisions on your account. If this doesn't work, you have to call ATT and tell them to activate visual voicemail. Say you just installed it and its not working. No need to say anything about how you got it, that doesnt matter. Just say play store. They have no way of knowing that it shows not compatible in play store. It took me a couple of calls to get it added but they did eventually get it. if anyone has any problems, Here is another thread talking about this app but for the OG HOX.
Worked great, thank you!

I installed the AT&T visual voicemail app on my stock ROM and it worked fine.
I then installed the Elegancia ROM and now can't seem to get visual voicemail to work at all. It just hangs at the password screen. I've tried resetting my password, re-installing the app, re-installing the AT&T address book app and syncml apks (the AT&T website says visual VM app won't work without this) and I also called AT&T to make sure visual voicemail was active on my account.
Any ideas how I can get this working again?
Thanks in advance.

Thats strange. Still works great for me. Are you still having issues or did you get it straightened out?

No, I am still having issues. I was on the phone with AT&T and they tried a bunch of stuff. It was working fine until I installed the ROM. I think it may be due to the APN changes that were made to enable native WiFi tethering but I'm not sure.
Either way, I decided to just switch my voicemail to google voice instead. I think it'll be better in the long run. Apparently with AOSP/CM ROMs, voicemails from google voice can be integrated into the stock dialer - like on an iPhone.
Thanks for providing the apk. Is it still required to manually install it? I was able to install it from the Market and I'm currently on the Elegancia ROM, so not even stock ROM. AT&T also claims it's supported on our devices:
http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB414957#fbid=17ybI57IF1g
However, I had to call to have them activate VVM on my account.
Any way to make this work on Straight Talk? I know the iPhone's get vvm to work on ST. I installed it but the app would not setup or get the details it needs after I dialed the voicemail number.

It doesn't appear in the Android market for some of us (read "Me"). I'm running DN3 ROM on a AT&T Note 2.
I appreciate the link.
Newer version?
This version of the download is 2.1.300 it doesn't work with Nexus 5 4.4.4. I wounded if anyone has Att visual voicemail 2.7.2.1? Please share the apk if you do. Thanks.

[Q] Using the dialer's sip client

Hello, after a full day of googling, messing my device up, and headaches - here I am.
Before I go any further it would probably help to explain my device configuration. I have a galaxy player, which has no mobile data or cellular capabilities (essentially a phoneless galaxy S), running unnoficial cm9 ICS. Because cm9 hasn't been optimized for media players, I still have the phone features such as the dialer built-in.
My goal is to get google voice working with the sip feature on the cm9 dialer. Through the help of pbxes.org and trial and error, I have mostly succeeded. The one minuscule yet painfully crippling issue I have is the ringtone doesn't play when I receive a call, even though it vibrates and shows the call screen normally. Now before you ask the painfully obvious; YES I tried setting a new ringtone, NO my device isn't in silent mode, and YES my volume is turned up.
I haven't tried a data reset yet, but that is last resort as I have no way to nandroid. I was wondering if this is a bug with cm9 or ICS in general, or a device specific issue I have. I would be so thankful if anyone that has experienced this and possibly found the solution could share it! Thank You.
I'll take silence as a sign no one else has this issue?

You know I do use a third party app but to have this ability would be kind if awesome. Right now I use groove ip but have the dialer would be cool. Have you tried with another dialer or do you not want it?

I have looked at other dialers but none of them have the sip capabilities. I also tried some sip clients like sipdroid - which rang fine, although interestingly simplecsp fails to ring just like the stock dialer. I am thinking it is a bug with our cm9 since system ui sounds also seem to not play.

There is no settings with in settings that allows you to put the ringtone so you might have to do it the way I did it. The way was is you have to download zedge and find the ringtone you want and then download it and then it hit set as and it will ask you what you want to set it as and set it as your ringtone and it'll work

Hmm, I have no problem setting ringtone.
I have made several important discoveries;
The reason the system UI sounds don't work is because the system volume is set to 0 and can't be adjusted in the system settings, but I used AudioManager to turn it up. Now system UI sounds work fine but still no ringtone.
Another discovery is when I set poweramp to not pause for incoming calls, I hear the ringtone! It plays over poweramp, but this is a huge clue to my problem.

[Q] Keyboard mic doesn't pause music since Kitkat update? Help?

Since the OTA Kitkat (4.4.2) update of my stock Verizon Galaxy S4 (SCH-i545), when I use the voice-to-text microphone button (Google voice typing) on the stock Samsung keyboard, it does not pause music played by Play Music or Pandora as it used to. I've been through troubleshooting with Samsung and VZW Support, including:
- Clearing cache for S Voice, Google Voice, Samsung Keyboard
- Testing in Safe Mode
- Performing a hard reset of the device
The music pauses for half a second and resumes with the mic active... not cool when listening to music and want to use voice to answer a text message.
VZW last said they want to discuss replacing the phone, but before I go down that rabbit hole, does anyone have any ideas on what to check or change to fix this?
The same thing happened to me. This used to work fine. My guess is it's software related. Replacing the entire phone seems like overkill.
Let's troubleshoot further. I'll keep you updated on anything I try, and obviously if anything fixes it.
EDIT: Found your follow-up thread here. Seems like an update to Google Search was the culprit.

Follow that thread; bottom of first page. The problem was an update to Google Search (and thus Google Voice input). Current solution is to downgrade to older version, link in that other thread.
