is there any way I can launch an app by dialing a number???
I have search in the Board and on google for almost 4 hours but found nothing useful....
Mi idea was Save a contact with a number in the Contacts app.
The when the Phone is connected over bluetooth in my car i can simply dial that number or saved contact and google voice search starts.
does anyone know a way ??
Sorry don't get what you're trying to do

'Tasker' would be my guess. But how you would get it to work, I really don't know.

Interesting idea but you can acheive the same result with other apps.
Try Android Assistant speaktoit(Speak to it). She is a better Siri. She can launch apps, read email, update your Facebook, make search on the internet. I think it can do what you want to do. (If I understand correctly)
Not sure about the normal S3 but the s-voice on the lte version will do what you're asking, and more (like send messages etc)

My ida is that i can start google voice search by dialing a number in the dialer.
Why i want it to do.
My merc car has bluetooth and it works well but there is no way to start googlevoice or any other voice application without taking it out of my poket and aktivate it manualy.
As an example if i could start aplications by dialing a number.
Than i could dial in the car interface 111 and google voice search wold start without i have to take the phone in my hand or out of my pocket
Interesting idea, but seems like a hassle if you can use s-voice instead.
Get a card dock and NFC tags, will make accessing your cellphone easier. Don't text and drive.

Jes but with the dualer Solution you could use it without touching the phone.
It doesn't mater if s-voice or google voice search you can't activate non of them over car integrated Bluetooth.
You always have tu put out your phone and press something.
I was searching for a solution without the need of using the phone directly

If you start the assistant before you put your phone on the car BT you can tell her to call any number, start any application etc... No need to touch any button. You can even have a conversation with her(she's funny)

Look it up, she's one of my favorite app.

But.. What good does the phone do in the pocket? What hidden apps do you want to start in the pocket? Put your phone in a phoneholder on the instrument like everyone else? And you can tell svoice what to do with "wake up command"

Hello everyone, my name is Bryan and im new here. Hopefully I haven't broken any rules as I post this thread, but my friens told me about XDA and said that you guys here could help
I finally upgrade my Sprint account to the Motorola Xprt. Whether you like it or not, its a huge difference from the HTC Snap running on Windows that I had. Ok, so I am having a hard time tying to figure out a few things and thought I would ask the community and see whats the outcome.
First, a few of the key things I like and had with the HTC is the ability to use my personal sounds files for my Text messages, incoming email, power low, new voice mail, etc. I cannot figure out how to do this. It took me about a week to figure out the "adding a folder named ringtone" trick to my Micro SD card so I can access them separately from my mp3 music. Any ideas as to how I can change the tunes to my own?
Second, the Alarm really is very low when it plays, if I am streaming music or playing mp3's, it doesn't play the sound files that I want, but a default one instead. This is critical in my line of work as a driver, I need a cat nap every now and then, and I like to stream music when I nap, so its imperative that I can get a louder alarm clock that enables me to play my own files.
Third, On the old Windows platform, when someone called me and I missed the call, it would be right one the screen in list form, one missed call and Voice mail. On this phone, I have to tap and drag the small top part of the screen to view my missed calls. Is there a way to have it as a list instead?
Fourth, On the HTC Snap, I used TCPMP to stream music from different websites. The cool thing about it is that I was able to add my own personal music files and playlists. That way as i am driving down the road, if I lost connection, it would bounce to the next line and play stored music until I got into a service area again and I would simply just click on the websites link again. Is there a software out there that will let me do this?
Fifth, Google Voice prefix's. again on the Snap, I had my Google voice set up on phone and my contacts had the prefixes on them as well. When I switch phones, I logged into Gmail, and followed the steps to move over my contacts. Ever thing went fine. The only problem is that this phone is so much faster than the Windows, that it speeds right through all the numbers and commas before the female Google voice has a chance to say anything. Is there a fix to this? Here below is the way its set up on my old phone. when I call Airtran to check a flight during peak hours, its prestored into the contact as this Airtran
my gmail number,,password,2,8002478726# So is the solution to simply add a ton of commas to make it slower? Or is there a real fix for it?
Appreciate any and all help..

First, try putting these folders on your sd card and filling them with whatever goodies you like
/media/audio/notifications/
and
/media/audio/ringtones/
Second, find an alarm app in the market that you like. Keep trying until you find one you like. If you have a crappy speaker then you are SOL or maybe an app like volume+ would help.
Third, for the voicemail thing it sounds like you would like a widget. Try the market again. If its the dialer you don't like look for the app dialer one or the google voice app.
Fourth, google voice maybe.
Fifth, good luck.
have you installed the correct drivers on your computer for this phone?

Your computer sees your phone as a piece of hardware. Just like when have a printer you have to install the drivers before you can print. just do a search for motorola xprt drivers.

I tried the folder thing you suggested and it did not work. After bouncing around the internet, I found a thread that said to have a folder called "notifications" on the SC card and put the files in there. That's what I did and I got the Text Message and Email tones to work the way I want to. My next Q is how to do this for the New Voice Mail. In text and email, I had to go to my texts and email, and then settings, then notifications, and then select the tones of my choice. Where do I do that with the Voice mail? I don"t see the setting for voice mail at all..

this is an android thing, though you still should be able to see little icons up the top of your screen when you get a missed call, right?
Ice Cream Sandwich has a solution for this, but that's not available for your phone, so there should be an app that can do that.
Your looking for a 'lockscreen' app. The ring app that was mentioned above is one such app
AANNDD.. I'm not sure whether you asked this or not, but I figured I would answer anyway
to make your device be seen by your computer, you need to install the Android USB driver, which is included in the Android SDK.
alternatively you can search XDA for the 'Android USB Driver', someone will have uploaded it, but it's most definitely what's going to help your computer see your android device
Okay, so my s-voice won't do anything? I say "call mom home" it prints the words I front of me & does nothing? Same thing when I give it a math problem, launch an app, or anything at all? Do I need a replacement or am I doing something wrong? I actually use voice commands alot!
Ok go to settings, application manager, on the top click all find S-voice hit it the click clear data. Hit thanks if this helps!

Clearing data worked & factory reset has worked once alsw, but I don't know why it keeps happening?
Samsung really needs to get their act together with S-Voice. Their software development on this was rushed, and it shows. S-Voice often stops working and requires clearing the App data, and even when it works, the app's inability to understand variation in syntax makes it far more limited than Apple's Siri.
I also notice that when I do a Google search using S-Voice, the web search is done through a Samsung sponsored adsense account, so it's evident that S-Voice is mainly an attempt by Samsung to monetize their users' google searches rather than an earnest effort to improve user experience.
The Galaxy S3 is great phone overall, but I hope Samsung comes out with an S-Voice update that will do this phone justice. Meanwhile, I'd love to be able to replace the double-click home button with Google Search instead of S-Voice.
However, at least I can access vanilla Google search quickly with a long-hold on the capacitive menu button.
I haven't had a problem with it yet. It sometimes gets mixed up and doesn't know what I say.

Lol I was having problems with S-Voice on my International SGS III understanding my words until I changed it from "English UK" to "English US" very odd indeed...
I'm running SVoice on my SGS2 with no problems and it's not even for our phone.
I wonder why you guys are having issues with it?
Powered by the SGSII
only problem i've had is while driving it will pick up the road noise and not end the voice command entry automatically, also if there is too much road noise the app will not audibly alert as it stops if it hears any sound
While not too surprised by it, the performance while driving leaves S-Voice worthless to me. If my window is down, I pretty much can't use it.
Also, I tried using it to launch Waze... it prints the correct name, but then says it can't find the app. I have yet to get it to open a non-default app.

I agree 100%! I use voice commands a lot, and mostly in the car is when I use them. That's the only time you ever NEED hands free control over the phone, and yet it's almost worthless in the car! I have to roll up the windows, close the sunroof, and if the AC is on you can for get it, lol. I think I'm gonna try the original vlingo app I've always used, because I know they are behind svoices software, but it worked better when I downloaded it to replace the Samsung tinkered vlingo on my s2. It could possibly be that the mic on the gs3 is very sensitive though? None the less, every phone has some apps that I don't care for.
whenever I mount the phone to my car dock, S Voice comes on first! When it wasn't working on my Skyrocket, I just froze it and said screw this thing, but now that it works just fine on the SIII, every time I mount it to the car dock, I have to close out of it first before I can get Music up and running.... is there a work around for this to prevent it from coming on when mounted to the car dock I haven't thought of yet?
I quit using Tasker, it got to be too damn much on the phone, so I just use A2DP Volume to automate the connection - when I connect my car dock, it loads Music and adjusts BT volume for me, but it won't close an app on connection.... How can you prevent S Voice from coming up in the first place?
EDIT - I found these steps for turning off Voice Talk, the older version of Google's Voice Commands, and I'm going to give this a try. The motion part isn't applicable though, I think....
Try turning off DOUBLE TAP under Voice Talk settings.
Click on and bring up Voice Talk, then hit the bottom left button and click SETTINGS.
On the SETTINGS page, scroll down to the VOICE TALK section and click VOICE TALK SETTINGS.
On the next page, click on MOTION.
Next page, under MOTION ACTIVATION SERVICES, uncheck DOUBLE TAP.

WORKAROUNDS - We now have two workarounds to solve this problem.... Here they are:
If you like S Voice and just want to prevent it from starting up when car docked, use the Dock Nothingness app and select it by default the next time you car dock
If you don't like S Voice and want to block it completely, just freeze it with Titanium Backup and it won't run at all (PRO key must be installed for you to freeze and defrost apps)
Did you get anywhere with this problem - I'm in the same boat. What I'd really like is the old default car home to launch, but not getting s-voice (useless in my little convertible!) would be a great start!

Nope, but I think your issue would be easier to overcome since you can just download Car Home Ultra or something similar, I don't want any car home to launch at all, just the A2DP Volume app which will launch Google Music for me....
I have everything set like they said on the S Voice settings page, so it doesn't activate with a double tap home input, but it still comes up! Now that I have Tasker running as well, it asks if I want to use S Voice or Tasker, or either of them by default, and I don't want any of them, really! If I say Tasker, I believe it will do nothing, but that might interfere with A2DP Volume, and then I have to set Tasker to run A2DP Volume when it is car docked..... that's straight up going around in circles now!!!
I have the same problem... please fix! I do not like S Voice...

Nothing I can do about it, I'm definitely not a dev....
I selected Tasker by default when car docked and it seems to work just fine right now, I don't have any task set when the car is docked, but at least it recognizes Tasker will take priority when car docked instead of S Voice! That's the best work around I know of so far....
Sorry if I'm mentioning the obvious, but if you go into s voice in the applications manager is anything set in its 'launch by default' section? I don't have anything in there now, but that may be because I set my car-launcher as default on docking. I don't know if 'on dock' was in there before.

That's a good thought, but no, there are no defaults set on my phone either under that setting - it was worth a look though! I'm sure it's got to be something as easy as that though....

If you are rooted, why don't you just freeze svoice? I didn't like it so I froze it when I was freezing all of the carrier installed crapware (didn't want to uninstall it in case I actually get some of the features enabled).. freeze it and you will never see it again.. (I don't think I would risk deleting it since if it breaks something else it is easy enough to unfreeze/thaw the application)... this of course requires you to have titanium backup and pay for the elite license which gives you these features..
Double Home doesn't launch anything anymore.. although I never had a problem with it launching when going into car-mode.. I had turned that feature off...
I am still a noob with the andriod phone.. I had an iphone before this.. but am finding that I really like the flexibility of andriod over iphone..
It looks like we have a decent work around, posted by zen0s on the Infuse car dock thread:
zen0s said:
I just tried this and it works great. To get rid of that annoying "S Voice" pop up everytime when phone is docked. Go to play store and download "Dock Nothingness". After you install it dock your phone and make "Dock Nothingness" as your default app. Now you won't be bother with those s-voice launching.

I froze it using TiBU on my Skyrocket and that worked just fine because S Voice wasn't really working well with the phone, but now that I have an SIII, I want to use it when it is appropriate for me, not every time I dock the phone! So the two options stand, freeze it or run Dock Nothingness to prevent S Voice from starting up every time it is car docked!
I've tried VLingo, Google, several others. All have problems:
1. Terrible with matching Contact name; usally unbelievable off.
2. Many require touching the screen to advance.
Just lookting for something that works, prefereably without a data connection needed, activated by a simple long push on BT earpiece. Free not required.
Rooted, JB installed.

Tried Google Voice Dialer and it was terrible!
Took out all other voice dialer apps and tried the built-in JP Google Voice. I gave it ten names to dial; it got all ten wrong. Then I tried the same name five times; it got it wrong for four different guesses. It is closer to a random phone number generator than a voice dialer. But it did fine when dictating numbers, but that's not really what I want. I'll keep looking; there has to be something better than this.

I just switched off WiFi and Data and used google now. I said "call Home" and that's exactly what it displayed. Then it prompted me if I wanted to cancel, or skip ahead and call. There was also a red bar at the bottom that was progressing indicating that it would call my home number if no action indicated I wanted otherwise. Perfectly reasonable.

That's Google Voice, a different product than Google's Voice Search. Since 4.x, it has some great offline performance but it always pulls web results, as someone mentioned.
Try out Nuance / Dragon's newer app. Hopefully, that doesn't stream every word you dictate to a corporation that believes they can do whatever they want with it (like Swype's EULA).
Hi, i don't know if i am in the right place, i'm searching an app for my voice notes, translating into text with specific language, i mean... I'm doctor, and in my work i can't touch the phone in particulary situations, so, i want if i speak.. for example "weak up phone" "record that note" "I see neurovascular infection" "end, turn off screen", my phone do that! Anybody knows an application can do that? Thanks!!!
P.D. sry for my english!! i'm trying to learn
Hhmm let's see. You CAN try to use svoice. "Hi galaxy" . "Record voice" or tell it to read you the messages. In all honesty tho svoice isn't that good. Maybe an app from the play store
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Hmmm. You could use a combination of Open Mic and Google Now?
Open Mic will allow you to say "Okay Google" from anywhere (and even with the screen off during charging and so on), and then you can voice search stuff on Google from there.
Google Now can also open apps so you can open apps as well voice free, then use Open Mic to go back to Google Now completely hands free (in theory).
Its not the best solution but its a possibility?
