Why does my phone have to be unlocked before I can Voice Dial????!!!!!!!!
Kinda puts the Hands back in Hands Free!!!
IE: I want to push my Voice dial button on my bluetooth headset without having to first unlock the phone.
I can make a voice call with the screen locked from my bose series 2. Do you have listen via bluetooth checked in voice talk settings?
I found the issue....
If you have a password on your phone (I had a swipe diagram), you must have it unlocked before it will work.
Once I removed the password on the Lock Screen, It works just fine.
Oh well...there are only certain apps I want password protected and as they say.....There is an App for That
Well, that explains why it was working for me on Friday and not just now when I tested it.
I've never had this issue before but until my Motorola I always used Cyberon Voice Commander on Android. Moto has a built-in voice recognition that works through a password so I got spoiled by that. Thanks for posting the answer. No way I'm leaving this phone without a password.

Crap - is there any way to tell the phone NOT to launch Vlingo when the BT headset button is pressed? I thought it gave me a choice of Vlingo or Voice Search the first time, but now I can't find it in application defaults.

I am searching but have not lucked up on the correct search words for an answer...
New Verizon HTC6800 updated the 3.12 and radio 3.39. I noticed voice activation was not on the phone so I searched and found a thread that said add:
Cyberon_Voice_Speed_Dial_v1.2___BT_Fix.cab
So first was that correct? OK ,I did that and got voice command back to make calls holding the device. What I cannot do which I could do with the OEM was:
Turn on my Jaw Bone BT headset (phone BT is on)
Press the button on my BT set
(OEM setup) Would open the voice command box and I speak the name "wife"
Now on the new setup ROM 3.12 when I press the button it goes to the phone screen where I can dial a number which I do not want. I am sure there is a easy fix and hate to waste a post so can someone share that with me. I want to be able to press the button on BT set and hear the beep in my ear so I can speak a command to call a number?
Thx
Sounds like you want Microsoft Voice Command?? Not the Cyberon Voice Dialer. Cyberon requires self created voice tags if I remember correctly...MSVC just requires you to push your BT headset button and speak the command.
is that my only option....anyone else...vets???
What did you end up doing about this?
So far here are the options for VOIP on the YP-G70:
Groove IP + Google Voice- Which is what I've tried so far. Voice quality is kind of poor.
sipdroid or csipsimple + Google Voice + PBXes.com - Apparently this has better voice quality?
Talkatone (Iphone equivalent to Groove IP) currently being ported to Android - Alpha 3
Skype - but I read somewhere you can't use Skype over wifi??? Maybe the person who posted that didn't know what they were talking about???
Any thoughts, opinions, ideas on How to or what software works best would be appreciated.
But what I'm really having a difficult time with is security. Using a wifi phone in a public hotspot has obvious security issues so you need a VPN. But just as important is using Google Voice without a VPN. It's basically the same thing as CarrierIQ - Google is tracking everything you do and also tracking WHERE you log in from. So a VPN is a must. To make matters even more difficult if you do get a VPN you have no idea whether the VPN provider is tracking you or might steal your login info from every site you log into via the VPN.
I've been researching this VPN thing for weeks and still don't have a good solution. So if anyone out there has any advice it would be GREATLY appreciated!!
I use GrooveIP (not much, but works fine). I have secure wifi at home and work, so not concerned about security. Talkatone could be good once fully ported, too many ui issues for me, seems restrictive.
I also use grove ip and found it works pretty well once you get the settings just right. I had to turn up the microphone gain several clicks and checked the echo control option in the debug or trouble shooting menu.
I use csipsimple rather than sipdroid, as I found the former integrates better with the stock rom. Actually, sipdroid doesn't seem to have a dialer and depends on dialer.apk which is just a dud application in stock rom. Pbxes-gv works fine. Voice quality is better than my G2 on Wind. Wifi needs to be on to stay registered. My battery life is several days standby with wifi off, but drops to about 6 hours with it on and about 40 minutes of calls.
With my spa-3102 I have an easy bridge to landline, so you could do it that way instead. This requires pbx server and a decent amount of config to get working, but csipsimple-pbxes-gv is a perfect standalone solution!

Skype works very well on my YP-G70. Since I have subscribed to a Skype online number, I can place/receive calls just like a regular phone.
Going to have to try Skype.
The lag is so bad on Groove IP / Google Voice that I end up talking over the top of the other person all of the time. Plus you can't do MMS on GV. And the GV SMS Android app is pretty limited - shows the data of a text message but not the time. And you can't use Google's video chat - we've got the dual camera's would be nice to use them - or at least try them out.
We'll see if Skype does any better.

You might have a bad internet connection. Google Voice has worked perfectly for me the past few weeks, no lag (once settings for lag were adjusted) and each call is very smooth. Your right about GV having no MMS, which is sad that that doesn't exist. And it shows the date AND time of the texts for me, not too sure why your not able to see that.
And as for the dual cameras... I don't know if you knew this, but from what I've read- The front camera ONLY takes VGA pictures, no video recording possible (so no video chat? I hope I'm wrong).
I've used my GP5 with Skype for video chat, and the girlfriend said the quality was better than my laptop's camera... so I can confirm that the front camera does indeed support video.
The perfect solution if you got a SIP account, is CSipSimple. It's working great whenever you can connect to Wifi. I even used it to call for free when I was abroad.
stock sip for gb
im sure gingerbread supports sip natively its just a matter of copying some files/framework and enabling it from the rom just like in galaxy note with gingerbread of course. the problem seems to be that sgp 5.0 doesnt attract much devs unlike other popular devices im also interested in this feature

It's odd, on my 4.0, the earpiece doesn't work with the latest version of Skype. I cover the proximity sensor and it turns the screen off but continues sending sound through the speakers. I have found if I use several versions older, it works, and if I use a moded version from xda, and enable an option, it works.

Google Voice is not compatible with YP-G70

Who told you that? I've used it for almost a year on my player. You can't call from within the app, but of course the OP already said that. And the answers here are the same as the other thread (which I answered first). The OP is correct.

I installed Google Voice through the Play store on my YP-G70 and I use it by itself for texting and use it with Talkatone for VOIP calling with no problems at all. I can't figure out how to pair my Bluetooth headset but that is a completely separate issue...

It's most likely your internet connection. GrooveIP mostly lags when an internet connection is slow or not strong, and also call quality depends on that as well. For me I have a very strong connection at home and it never lags and call quality is pretty good. Now at college since wifi is spotty it doesn't lag but call quality is a bit worse.
Remember with Skype to call a mobile/landline number you have to purchase minutes. I bought the $35 a year plan, and it works fine but you still can't text people because it uses your skype credit. Also if you want people to be able to call the player or answer calls through skype you wiill have to buy a "skype number" and that cost an additional $60. I didn't get the number, but I used a workaround. What I did was register for textplus (you can still use a google voice number but still have to have Google Voice installed) and they give you a number for free. Then I went to skype and set my caller id to the textplus/google voice number so that it'll ring the player through textplus/grooveiP and give people a number to call. Problem is you can't pick up using skype and will have to wait to call them back afterwards lol.
To me GrooveIP/ Google voice is the best option for our place. I tried talkatone but the free version's quality is worse than grooveIPs and you have to pay to unlock higher quality. I haven't tried to other one. I hope this helps.

True. But I use the rear camera for skype and it's way better than my laptop webcam haha.
I have been having trouble with my Note i717 voice dialing over Bluetooth. I pair it to my Pioneer DEH-P710BT care stereo, transfers phonebook and works when dialing with phone manually or by selecting name on deck.
My problem is with the voice dialing from the deck. I say the name but it keeps selecting a wrong name/number for each name I say. It will have the same wrong name for one name that I say, no matter how many times or clear I say it. It will give a different wrong name for another name that I say. I have tried saying last name before first name as well and it still doesn't select the right name. It feels like its just translating it wrong into text since it keeps selecting the same wrong name for each specific contact???
I had the same problem with my Nexus S. The exact same setup works fine with my Galaxy S2 i9100, HTC Nexus one and LG GW620. They all call the correct name.
-I have no lockscreen lock or password
-I have tried google voice search and Vlingo as default voice input
-Listen via Bluetooth is selected in Vlingo (tried without selected as well)
-Phone & Media profile are selected in the bluetooth settings for the deck
I am hoping there is a fix and its not some compatibility issue with certain samsung phones and my Pioneer deck. So far only 1/3 of my samsung phones work.
Anyone else have this problem? Ideas? thanks
How did you change between voice search and Vlingo as the default voice input? I have similar problems with voice dialing on a number of android phones and I'd like to try some other programs to see if it's a software fixable issue, but I can't get the phone do launch anything but Vlingo.

Settings/Voice input and output/Voice input/Voice recognition
I have the Rogers Canadian SGH-I717R.
Changing that setting on the AT&T version does nothing, unfortunately....vlingo always picks it up. Oh well, was worth a shot since I've had better luck with cyberon voice commander.
Same issue here. At first I thought it was my car 2012 Hyundai Sonata. Deleted contact list out of the car a couple of times and tried pairing multiple times. The GNote pairs fine but gets the wrong name frequently.
Mine gets the wrong contact all of the time.
Doesn't anyone else have this problem?
Sure...had that since my first Android handset. So I started using Cyberon, which works better and has a confirmation mode (since I got tired of Android ringing up some bagel shop in Hoboken every time I tried to call my mom - I live in California BTW), but the Note doesn't offer the ability to have the bluetooth multi-function button start any app other than Vlingo, which doesn't meet my needs because it doesn't work through the phone lock screen when my phone is suspended.
If I'm going to have to pull the phone out of my pocket, unlock it, and then voice dial, what's the point.
WM6.5 had this functionality working beautifully in about 2007.

Odd... are you saying you can't voice dial thru your car's BT without physically unlocking the phone?
I can voice dial just fine (locked & unlocked) on mine through the Ford Sync in my car.

Are you screen locked or password locked? I haven't tried it in my car yet (don't really need to as my car can read the phone book and I can dial by touch), but Vlingo will not respond to my bluetooth headset at all when the phone is PIN/password locked.
Prior to the latest update to Google Search 3.5.16.1262550 a couple weeks ago, I used to be able to do a long press on my BT headset to bring up Google Now, which let me say, "Call Joe Blow home" and it would make the call to his home number. Now it brings up Google Dial which tells me to say "Call someone" but pops up with a numbered list of the cell, home, and work numbers on the screen that I either have to touch to choose the one I want, or say, "Select Two" to dial his home number. This requires that I either touch or look at the screen to make a call, which totally defeats the purpose of "hands-free" calling.
I have switched back to S-Voice for now, which I hate because she talks too much before I can actually make a call, but at least I don't have to dig my phone out to push or see which phone I want to call. I hope someone can help us get back to BT dialing the way it used to be.
This is on a Sprint Galaxy Note 3 running KitKat, but I imagine this is affecting all phones.
Yes I have a note 3 kitkat and Google search issue is affecting my phone as well. Instead of Google now voice prompt when pressing headset hard button on my LG bluetooth headset....Goople dial is not default which sucks!
Bump! Surely someone must use Bluetooth dialing from a headset and noticed this major change besides the two of us. Please help if you have any ideas to revert Google Search to work the way it used to.
Bump again! Doesn't anyone else use their Bluetooth headset to initiate calls?
I think I have finally found an acceptable workaround using Bluetooth Launch from the Play Store. Install the app and follow the directions as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794883
Step one shouldn't be needed as when you long press, it will detect the new app and let you select Bluetooth Launch as the default.
Hi all, got my G3 last week and quickly noticed that on ALL outgoing calls using Google Voice (I have it ask me every call whether to use Google Voice or my cell ph#), the dialed number shows up as something completely different than what I dialed in the stock dialer call log. Different area codes, altogether different ph#s. Didn't ever happen with my old GS3 or old school EVO, and searching around seems common on Samsung devices + some G2s but I can't seem to find a fix for this problem on this particular phone - or others reporting it on it for that matter.
FYI I've uninstalled/reinstalled the app, checked settings for anything... odd. Help pls?? Thanks in advance...
When you call someone with Google Voice, it uses your phone to call Google Voice servers who then dial the number you called. Get it? It calls Google, then Google calls your selected party(number).

Its been that way since they came out with Google Voice on every phone I've ever used in the last 4 years so I dunno what you mean it didn't do this before. It's been this way forever until they released integration with Hangouts a couple days ago.
