I have search before and the answer given didn't work out for me so I need to ask again.
I just installed Supernexus 2 build 4 on my S2 but I can't get the voice commands working at all.
First of all, I don't have the left soft button linked to voice commands ¿Is it possible to get it working so that a hold on the left soft button gets Google now open? Also I can't get Google now to work with commands like setting an alarm or an event into the calendar.
I try to open the voice dialling icon from the apps menu but it stay on initiating forever and nothing else happens. ¿Any idea?
Dont think Google now is for Voice Commands like S-Voice, Its just for search. And obviously Voice Dialer is only for dialing.. Btw setting alarm works partly for me in Google Now.. Maybe try a reflash of your ROM..

Google Now is at least able to make calls, play music and set alarms. And I can't get it to work with my bluetooth headset :/

With Google Search last update, it works!
You need to set the phone language in English (US) and the voice search language as English and you will be able to set remainders, alarms, calls, note events, etc.

Hi guys,
I found an old guide on setting up Google voice to work with the gtab but it's out of date and no longer works. Any status on getting Google voice setup on Gtab for phone calls / texts? thanks!

I downloaded the .apk from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11828239&postcount=4
Sideload-installed it and it fixed it. It moves the "Skip" button when it goes to pull VM settings and lets you bypass that.
Works fine for SMS now...haven't tried to listen to a VM yet.

Thanks, I tried it but I'd like to be able to make a call/receive a call. Is that possible? Also, how are you sending an SMS from it? I can only see the list of voicemails.
I'm running vegan ginger, and just downloaded it from the market. It works fine but you need a 3rd party application like skype to make calls voip. The but texting and reading voicemails is good

You need to make sure you have a regular Google voice account and a Google voice number. There is a lite version which you can only see voicemails. You can check on the glove voice website

Seems to work ok for me - I picked a sipgate number as "this phone's number" so it skipped offering to capture vm.
VoiceMail playbacks fine, notification of VM works
SMS send works/receive notification works.
Calls... don't work (on device, anyway)
Calls don't work because we don't have a app for calls. Google voice can use skype or another similar app to call, but most aren't free

My phone is synced with both a Google account and an Exchange account. I have contacts on both and can see them find in "Contacts" application.
However, when I use Google Voice Search (the little microphone on home screen) and say Call Bob or Send Text to Bob, it does not work. In the stock ICS rom, it used to do random stuff like searching web for a random business. I've since flashed Houstonn's JB ROM. Now I see that my voice command is transcribed perfectly i.e. when I say Call Bob Buster, I see the text "Call Bob Buster", but it just says Contact not found and gives me a link to "find contact". If I use that link and type in Bob Buster, it finds the contact.
So, the transcribing is perfect, plain text search works, but they using voice search to dial does not work. What gives? Same thing happens with Google Contacts and Exchange Contacts.
Any one else encounter this? Any workarounds? Thanks in advance.
Voice Control Works
Sorry to reply to my own post, but after I posted the above, It hit me that I should try another voice assistant that uses Google Voice Search engine/api. So I tried the Voice Control (Test). I've tried it in the past with stock ICS ROM without much success. However, in the JB ROM, it works great for almost all my contacts. So, it appears that the voice search engine is greatly improved in JB, but the the app/interface is some how broken.
I guess I'll go pay $1.99 to buy the full version of Voice Control.
EDIT: --Further Info--
First, I just figured out that there is an "Edit" button on this forum, so didn't have to make a new reply. Sorry about that.
I guess I was on a roll. After posting above, it occurred to me that there is an "offline voice engine" in JB. So I made sure that the offline data is downloaded and turned off wifi and mobile data. Voice Control just plain stopped saying no network available. May be it wasn't using the API properly. But here is the surprising part. I can now call many of my contacts with the call command just fine now (Google Voice Search).
So, I've tested turning data back on and same old problem of "can not find contact". I've repeated this 2-3 times. Same contact can be called when I am offline (no data), but not if I am connected. I guess Google is doing something funky when I am online?
Google Search Update Feb 13
The Google Search update on Feb 13 appears to have mostly fixed this issue. I am at 50-60% success rate in dialing my contacts. But the contacts it previously transcribed correctly, but couldn't find in my contacts are now being transcribed incorrectly. Oh well, I guess it is a step in the right direction.

Just curious, but when you hit the mic button, then tap the menu button for settings, there should be an option to check phone search. Select phone search and see what options are checked off. Make sure contacts is ticked and anything else you want search to look through. If you've already done this, my bad!

Thanks for the pointer. I didn't know about the settings option after hitting the mic button. All the proper things including the Contacts are selected for search.

You may want to try Google Now instead of just voice search. If you're on ICS there are a couple hacked versions around. If back on JB, it's probably already installed. Make sure it's on/active. I've been getting pretty good search results with it (including contacts) and I'm on Slick ROM v6.

Using Enhanced SMS and Caller ID with a Jawbone Era, I can't get the voice reply for SMS to work. Whenever I get an SMS and try to voice reply, it launches a Google voice recognition applet which I presume is part of the Google search app. Based on a little digging around the internet, it seems that Google Search on 4.1.1 is the issue ...

I did, but i can found it as an app or a service! and I did disable/uninstall some services that i thought it might be that, it didn't work
If you have TIBU then you can chose the app and then freeze it.

I did, there is no such as voice dialer or anything close to that and test some app that i thought might be it
i kind of test so many things that i found in xda.....and nothing
thanks anyway for replay
The only thing I like about S-voice is the app voice command function. I like being able to turn off or snooze my alarm and especially shoot a picture by voice command. Unfortunately all this stopped working for me some weeks ago. I did some searching and found that some users got it back by disabling Google Music Play but this did not work for me.
Is anyone else having this problem and has anyone found a fix?
Thanks
