Voice search/speech to text work around - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

So, since people have been having issues with Google search via speech and speech to text in root box for i605 and probably other cm variants or maybe its aosp. Someone tell me which is causing the issue and I'll edit the op. Here's a work around that got it working
So, to get voice search and Voice to text to work:
1. Open titanium backup
2. Search for google search. Uninstall.
3. Search for "voice" some called: com.Google.android.voicesearch.4.0.0 will appear. Uninstall.
4. Open play store and reinstall Google search.
5. Talk!

Thanks! One of the things that's been bugging me about this phone.

Haven't seen much mentioned re: the mic

Has anyone tested it and the quality, curious about things like Skype, or voice apps etc?

As far as I heard Skype won't recognize the mic yet.
I have tested...
I have used it with b&n childrens books.
I have used it also with voice notes in jorte works good.
I have made samples just using the recorder app and works good.
I have made voice notes in Note Everything Pro. and it works good.
I have not done any comparisons to other recording apps.

I'm rooted and can't get voice search to work, can't even find it in the app market. How did you get it to work?

I downloaded it on my Android phone, backed it up, and then uploaded it to dropbox, and finally downloaded and installed it from dropbox on my Nook Tablet.

AT&T Visual Voicemail?

No visual Voicmail on the Note? Could almost swear I read a review saying it came Installed? Tried to install the APK with no luck =/
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Edit:
Thanks to jpitch2415 - he/she found a downloadable .zip file that will install via ESFile Manager. Installing the .apk through the file manager that comes stock on the phone will not work.
This is for the AT&T version of Visual Voicemail and for those that prefer it over Google Voice, etc.
The link to download the file is here & also make sure to install this file with ESFile Manager from the Android Marketplace - the file to install will be located in your tapatalk download folder assuming you downloaded the file directly from your phone.
The post where jpitch found the file / information is located here:

I've been wondering where's the visual voicemail it said it's suppose to have. I'm still irritated that this lags and not as smooth as I thought it would be.
I have visual voicemail...transcription...under at&t messages app. Don't know what I did to set it up, I'm new to AT&T. But my wife left a vmail and it was converted to text and can be played on my note.

I deleted all the AT&T feature apps. I have no need for them. I can deal without the visual voicemail. It was a nice feature when I had a Blackberry, but when I ditch it for an Android phone, didn't care for it.
Well you wondered where it was LOL...

Thought it would be a separate app on it's own.
It does work, you need to get a file manager to extract the zip the my files app doesn't work
Tutorials are gonna be amazing with this pen lol

Well, I installed the visual VM from here-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452330
When I open, it says call voicemail, enter pin, then hang up. Visual voicemail then tries to set up and I get a message telling me it is not turned on yet by att- It says please wait- setting up your account-then account verification has not been received yet. contact support to verify that VVM service is activated.
So I called ATT, and she said VVM is turned on, she reset it to on twice, but still, it won't set up thru the visual voice mail app. I haven't tried the ATT messaging to set it up. Just don't like it. Tech support will call in the am. I verified with her that with the LTE data plan VVM is included and she said yes.

Rather than listening to voicemails #1 through #9 to hear #10, you can just see them visually and listen to the ones you want to listen to
Some of the VVM services (like Google Voice) will actually transcribe the voicemail into text, and can email the voicemail to you.
Jpitch. You rock!! Thanks so much. Worked great

/agree
It's one of the first apps I set up on a new phone. It's nice that you don't have to use the whole voice package if all you want is visual voicemail.

GV and android noob here. Do you guys set GV to have your cell number forwarded to it? Or do you use the GV number as your main? I'm not exactly sure how it works as I just started to play with it on iOS. Thanks.

You can do either, but I think most people do what I do and use it just for VM. During the setup, it will attempt to change the settings on your phone that it needs automatically. Basically, it just changes the forwarding numbers.

[Q] Change People.apk in CM 10.2

Hi there
I really hate the stock people.apk that comes with CM 10.2, and I was wondering if it's possible to switch it to something else as defaults contacts editor.. Even the stock samsung app is a lot better..
Thank you!
Yes, loads of contacts app on the play store

Yes, but I mean one that would replace people as the default one, since the other contacts apps seem to direct you to people.apk when you want to edit contact details
There's nothing to replace it. Not all contacts apps "direct you"

How to stop Google now from installing?

Hi all
I don't have Google now installed. But when I start to use Google search, now keeps trying to install itself. Can I permanently remove now? And just have search?
This is for CM10.1
Thanks

Have you tried starting Google Search, then Settings, then Google Now > Off ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thanks for your response
I have been there, it is already "off".
It is almost like Google Search is advertising Now, but I don't want it ask me to install Now every time, I just want to go straight to search.
Even hitting the microphone opens the Google Now install window, then I must hit the back button to go back to regular search.
This is really annoying for someone who doesn't want google now installed.

Google Hangouts not saving settings!

Hello guys
I'm having an issue with the HTC messaging app. It keeps forgetting the contact images on the threads.
It appears there's no fix so I decided to use Hangouts. Hangouts doesn't seem to be working right either.
When ever I want to send a photo message. It prompts me with what app do I wanna use to find a media. I choose "always" on Photo or Gallery and proceed to send the photo. Then when I wanna do it again it forgot what I had set as default before and prompts me with it again.
Any way to fix that?

1. Is hangouts fully updated?
2. Are you using a custom ROM?

Yes and no. I'm using stock ROM and the app is running the latest version that's available to me via the Play Store.

Try disabling auto updates in Google Play and then downgrade to hangouts v2.4.78234730 . It seems that the new upgrade is losing settings. See productforums.google.com/d/msg/hangouts/OVWO3hrglNo/n5EB8R4s78kJ for instructions on how to downgrade Hangouts. You can ignore the stuff on dialer, probably.
I'm not sure if you are having the same issue since they are different settings but it could be related. Perhaps the new app is losing everything.
Oh hey we can actually close this. It no longer relevant.
