[Q] Google Now with Bluetooth - AT&T LG Optimus G

Really ticked that I cannot figure this out....
So, I have Google Now as part of Nocturnal Rom
I use bluetooth headphones and the Belkin bluetooth car adapter
Both of these products have a voice dialing feature. The problem is, that it launches the Voice Dialer app, which is as useful as bellybutton on a forehead.
I have the app Bluetooth Launch, which supposedly lets you program what happens when you push the voice dialing button on a bluetooth device. No luck.
I want to try to get rid of the Voice Dialer app using Titanium Backup, but I cannot find anything that come close to "Voice Dialer" on the list of apps.
Anybody know how to make Google Now the default Voice Dialing/Searching app when using a bluetooth device?

May want to try freezing voice control.
I believe that is what the OG uses for voice dialing.
I know that app can dial numbers.

Tried it. (actually deleted it)
Still no dice
Thanks for the tip, though

[Q] Can I disable Voice Talk shortcut (2x home button)

Hey I was wondering if there is a way to disable the press Home 2x shortcut to activate Voice Talk (or even uninstall it)?
It's not a big deal, but just a preference. And the shortcut seems to unlock my Widgetlock screen as well (not that it really happens often)
I can confirm i have frozen all voice related apps and including the one you mentioned and double press home does not start anything.
I dont use the voice apps and have not had any negative effects since. Hope this helps

Forgot to mention i used titanium backup pro to "freeze" apps. Its a safe way before deleting.

thanks, the thing is I dont see Voice Talk in my apps list in titanium backup.
I guess its called something else there.
But just like you i dont use any voice command apps so I guess I'll just freeze'em like you suggested.
thanks again =)

[Q] Google "Voice Search" 3.0.1 -- Does Not Recognize CALL Command; Does Websearch

[Q] Google "Voice Search" 3.0.1 -- Does Not Recognize CALL Command; Does Websearch
My Droid Razr Maxx is running stock (but rooted) ICS 4.0.4. The version of Google Voice Search installed is 3.0.1. Google Voice Saearch is a successor to Google Voice Actions. It's supposed to be able to call a contact by giving the command:
CALL [contact name]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Example: "Call Joe Blow Mobile" (mobile tells it to use the "mobile" number listed instead of asking me which of Joe Blow's various numbers to dial) is supposed to call Joe Blow's mobile number.
When I give this command, it just does a web search instead. In the Settings of Google Voice, you can tell it which things/services are "searchable." I have mine set to search contacts only, but it still interprets everything as a request for a websearch. I've tried force-stopping the app. I've tried clearing it's data and cache. Nothing changes.
BTW... the version of Voice Search on Play.Google.Com is 2.1.4. The Play Store says that this is what is installed on my phone, but my version is actually 3.0.1. I can neither uninstall what I have nor update it.
Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?
Can anyone recommend a fix for my Razr?
This is not going to be helpful to fix google voice... but here's an alternative: I quite like Motorola's voice commands which you can activate by double tapping home button. Go to its settings and you can even make it adapt to your voice.
It's reliable and recognise names better than google voice or any other voice apps like vlingo. I've been using it with my car bluetooth speaker which automatically turns on voice commands when I press the call button on the bt device.

I can't find anything called Motorola Voice Commands on my Droid Razr Maxx. Do you find it under "M" or "V" or something else?
V, Voice Commands. My mistake. It's not made by Motorola, but made by Nuance. However it's in my stock asia RAZR.
Here's an apk of the app, and titanium backup (in case the apk doesn't work). Hope this solves your problem.

Thanks for this and I probably will install it eventually, but I need to investigate further beforehand. I looked on my system, but found no app called "V" or "Voice Commands." I started to install the APK, but it warned me that this would replace a system app, although it didn't say what that system app is. I live in the USA. Apparently, I have something equivalent that is not called Voice Commands, but which is the same as Voice Commands.
I will investigate and report back...
It's not called V. I was replying to your question to whether it's under V or M. Lol.
Perhaps the app will only appear if you have a bluetooth audio device?
You can also try under settings->accessibility-> Double tap home launch and see if Voice commands is on the list.
Btw I'm using Nova launcher, maybe that "unhides" the app? >_>

[Q] Replacing S Voice with Google Now!?

Hey guys,
i been lately thinking about getting a Bluetooth receiver in my car,
finally i found this good idea, bought it 2 weeks ago, and got it delivered today
http://www.ebay.com/itm/160918297575?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
so far I like it, and it charges with the same my phone charger cable, so no need for an extra cable in my car, it works great with my aux cable, the only issue i am facing is when i hold the function button to launch the voice search app, it brings up S Voice not Google now,
is there any way to substitute?

If you go into S-voice settings there should be a box to uncheck....?
You can turn off S Voice being linked to the home button, then search around on the Play Store until you find a third party app that lets you map buttons to launch apps. Set it to launch Google Now from the home button via a long press/double tap/whatever you'd like, and you should be all set.

Thanks for ur help,
i use Home 2 Shortcut app to launch Google Now with double home button press, but i need to launch Google Now from my Bluetooth function button without taking my phone out of my pocket
I personally prefer SVoice. One thing you can do on SVoice and NOT google....
"create a reminder for tomorrow at 11am.....call Rob about switching to Google Now"
SVoice will ask, "shall I create this appointment"....to which you simply say, "yes please"
Google will say, "I can't do that".....to which you simply say...."wish I had listened to that guy on xda forums".

I'm in the same boat as you. 95% of the voice commands I use are for dialing via bluetooth. My fiance is Asian and SVoice falls on it's face with her name whereas Google Voice never had an issue on my GNexus.
Just downloaded jelly bean hoping google now vpice is better then s voice

Google Now sets an appointment for me just fine on my S3 using this example exactly.

Can free calls be made with YP-G70?

hi...
although yp-g70 is not a phone, but is there a software through which we can make free calls to an any number?
Viber is an awesome calling app. Although you can't use it to call EVERYONE, most phones these days have a Viber application, so you try that.

Yes, using Google Voice. You can use Groove IP or Talkatone for simpicity, or if you want something completely free, but more complex to set up, look into the Sipdroid or CSipSimple apps together with a service like pbxes.org or https://simonics.com/gvgw/
Of course, Voice is not available everywhere, so if you can't use it where you are, then you'll have to settle for either limits on who you can call or something like voip.ms for über cheap.
thanks. i've install viber...
I think Google Voice is not available where I live...
Will try Groove IP & Talkatone

Talkatone is not completely free? I didn't pay for it and use it without issues.

Aren't there ads in the free version? I believe you have to pay to remove them, but yes the app itself is free.

Google Now via Bluetooth stuck on "Initializing" Droid Razr Maxx

So, like many other users, I prefer to use the Google Now application instead of just the stock call dialer when connected to bluetooth, whether it be in the car or working out with a bluetooth headset, because it allows you to play music, navigate, etc... in addition to just calling some one. Also, like many other users, I've been doing this since voice search was introduced via Gingerbread.
But it seems that all good things must come to an end.
The Problem... Since Google Now, now uses bluetooth, that old Bluetooth Launch application causes it to get stuck on initializing when launching it from the bluetooth button from whatever bluetooth device you're using.
Without going into to much detail... there DOES exist 2 temporary fixes
1. Disable the Media Connection on your connected bluetooth device via bluetooth settings (not desirable) ,
2. The following solution involves root access, and the purchasing of 2 paid applications.
Guardian Bob... The creator of the original BluetoothLaunch app looks like he's working on an easier fix... but for now... if you're frustrated by the same problem on your droid razr maxx... go to the link I'll post at the end of this post, and use the Paid Titaniam backup application to convert Google Search to a user app
Then Use Bluetooth launch and configure it to launch the voice search activity,
Then use Tasker to program Google Search to Force Close on Profiles for each application you plan to use with Google Now while connected to bluetooth. (note, you can set the task to Force Close Google Search only when bluetooth is turned on, so you don't have to worry about it messing with your daily activities when you're not in the car or on a headset)
Details are here:

workaround
Still no fix coming from Google, but at least one nice guy made a temp fix while they do it.
Look for "Voice Command" app on Google Play. Developer's name is IT-DEV-CROWD or code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42178#c37
It worked for me, after trying a lot of different configurations.

This app did fix the issue where the bluetooth weird voice search comes up instead of Google Now, but I still get Google Now stuck at "initializing" after is opens. This only happens when I have bluetooth devices connected.
