Google Now with Bluetooth Device - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Really ticked that I cannot figure this out....
So, I am running an ICS Rom with Google Now enabled hack.
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?
This is the app in question

I've been having the same issue on CM10.1. Bluetooth Launch doesn't work either.

See this post here:
http://brandtkrueger.wordpress.com/...voice-actions-the-default-instead-of-s-voice/
Basically with Google Now the Activity name is renamed.
Load "Bluetooth Launch" and choose the following:
Google Search->com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity
Works for me on my SIII and the Belkin CarAudio Connect AUX device, I did have to disable "S-Voice" within settings -- Applications and set Bluetooth Launch as the default launcher app to have it interop seamlessly.

[app] vlingo

Recently Google came out with an Voice Actions app that allows you to perform certain commands on your phone with speech.
Heres the Video
Cool Huh? But its only available for android 2.2.
Theres an app in the market called Vlingo, its completely free and you can do the exact same thing as Voice Actions app. I was blown away by the functionality and accuracy of this app. I just had to post it.
Heres a link to the app so you guys can try it out for yourself.

truly sucks for the people who paid 10 bucks for vlingo.... It is a great program though
I was trying this app out the other day actually, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to send texts via Google Voice instead of the phone's SMS.

yeah, i don't understand why this option hasn't been implemented with so many users on gv.
I think it sends text messages through your default messaging application. So if google voice is your default messaging application it should work.

[Mod] SMS link in dialer

Hello all,
So I hate repetitiveness in the UI so I have swapped the dedicated VM button with an "goto/initiate SMS" button. We already have a voicemail button by pressing or dialing one why do we need two?

Thanks,

Glad to see you around here
very cool.
Any chance you can make the dialer numbers scalable as well? (for alternate DPI?)
Forcing the log button to stick on what you want logged would be great too. Right now, if you hit log or the press the green phone button, you get a log of all calls and SMS messages. You can switch it in the menu but it reverts right back to log all. I loved how my cappy would show you logs of just the phone calls made/recieved.
Nice + 1 setimg up now

Or have it be able to open the Google Voice inbox would be pretty awesome.

Hate to ask but how do i install this? I tried uninstalling contacts in titanium backup and restarting first, but when I tried to install the apk it just said "not installed", I do have unknown sources allowed in settings.

Place it in system/app (to replace the existing one) via root explorer (and fix the permissions to match everything else in the folder, rw-r-r).
Is this for stock?

yup

This does not work on a stock/rooted phone. Maybe on a custom rom but pushed it on a stock phone and the SMS button takes me to voicemail.

Anyone uses Internet calling on S3?

I have 2 SIP accounts set-up under the Phone app > Call Settings > Internet call settings (Account).
There are times when I pick up an incoming VoIP call (caller calls one of my DIDs associated with one of my three accounts), I pick up and the sound is routed right away to the speaker of the S3 with no option/ way to make it go back to the earpiece.
Has anyone experienced? Can reproduce?
Can someone please try and report their findings?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I use it. Always got the sound thru earpiece. Have another problem - I cannot figure out how do options of calling work: for all calls when mobile network available, only for internet calls (what is that?), ask for every call. I use the last option, but it's annoying.
That's how I use it too. Couldn't figure out "Only for Internet Calls". I don't see the option under contacts or anywhere else.
Anyone knows?
Solution is found. Try Advanced Dialer app to filter dialed numbers for SIP routing through stock dialer.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Another issue: the native SIP client does not produce any DTMF tones!
Update: Jelly Bean fixed the DTMF tones issue. It is now working.
am I reading this right that VOIP calling is built into the OS now ? if yes how do I put my GV voip account into it ? right now I use groove ip
ICS had native VoIP and a built in SIP client, so does JB.
Kudos to Samsung and HTC for not removing that from the GT-I 9300 and the S720E.
Launch phone, you should be looking at the dialpad, contextual menu 》Call Settings, scroll all the way down to the Internet Call Settings section 》 Accounts.
You can add accounts there.
Note: Google Voice is not a VoIP provider and so you can use it with the SIP client.
I use Voice+ from the market place for Google voice on the S3.

FreedomPOP - Premium voice on all outgoing calls.

So I found a way to force premium voice to be used during all out going calls, regardless of whether the network speed is adequate or not. While I'm very satisfied with FreedomPOP's service, I do feel like if I'm paying for the 2G cell service for phone calls, I should be able to use it at all times, not only when their app deems it necessary. Because, lets face it, as most of you know the VOIP can be flaky at times. either causing delays in the conversation or just breaking up completely and dropping. I know many people beat this by simply turning off cell data and WiFi. While that solution works, it's a pain in the ass to do that every single time.
This is a very simple hack to make it use the Premium voice service at all times. You will need a permissions editor to complete this task.
I used Advanced Permission Manager.
What you will need to do is open the app in Advanced Permission Manager and select the Messaging App.
1. Open Advanced Permission Manager, click on all All Apps and select freedompops Messaging app.
2. Once it is opened you will see a list of all the permissions that app has on your phone.

}
3. The permission you want to remove is reroute outgoing calls. Simply click on it to remove its access.
4. now select Save & Reinstall. it will compile the New APK without the reroute outgoing calls.
And that's it.
Few things you will need to know.
1. Since the app is not the original from Google Play you will no longer get notifications of when the App has been updated, I normally check it manually from week to week.
2. Every time there is an App update you will need to uninstall, Reinstall the original from Google Play, then follow the steps modifying the app permissions again.
3. Since this does require uninstalling and reinstalling the app, You will lose all text messaging history, each time there is an update.
You are the best!
Does this still work?

I need to undo reroute outgoing calls, and now "save and reinstall" is no longer a choice. Only "close" is a choice and of course it doesn't save anything. Please help.
