OK, hi all
I have a goofy problem.
I drive 2 cars, alternate them every other day.
One of them is Camry Hybrid. I stream music via AUX cable off ITune radio.
Problem is, ONLY in this car, every time I plug AUX cable in and turn ITune on, Google Voice search pops up. It became a pest, as it pops up every time I touch AUX cable in the phone or even move the phone. I made perfectly sure fingers do not touch the screen or any buttons, it still does it. I have to shut it down about 5-6 times in a row, before it stops popping. Have none of this issue with the other vehicle.
I never use this pgm and could care less about it.
How do I delete it or shut it down permanently? Can't find any settings to do so and can't locate in TiBUP to delete, or even in apps manager in settings.
Thank you.
Look for com.google.android.voicesearch

Whenever I have headphones or an auxiliary cord plugged into the headphone jack, the phone always thinks it's a headphone/mic combo. This caused it to do voice search or voice actions a lot, even though I didn't initiate anything. I froze those two apps with Titanium Backup, but now the phone will often call the most recent number in my call log (doesn't matter if it's a sent or received call), even though the phone's locked and the screen is off. I haven't really been able to notice any sort of pattern, though it does happen sometimes when I pick up the phone out of my car's cupholder, or when I take it out of my pocket.
Perhaps unrelated, the screen will often turn back on after I push the lock button.

Q-tip out the headphone jack. There's probably something conductive in there that is causing a short inside of it when the male jack is moved even a tiny bit, which is triggering the headset commands. (Re-Dial, Skip Track, Voice Search, Etc)
Just use a dry Q-tip, peel off enough of the cotton so that it'll fit in all the way, and wiggle it around. Should solve the problem till something else gets in there.

i would do what the guy said above but if that fails then you just my have some faulty hardware and might need to take it back to sprint to get a new one and of course if you are rooted you will have to go back to stock first
Use an app called headset blocker. It will stop the phone from thinking it has a headset with a mic

Has anyone had any issues when using both the cardock and a headset? I received both for Christmas and the behavior of the phone seems inconsistent. Once I have paired my phone and put it into the dock, I have inconsistent issues with
1) Using the "Calling" button to make calls
2) Long-press on my headset (Jawbone Icon) doesn't actually pull up the voice commands prompt
3) Voice search won't enable.
Also, when I take my phone out of the dock, sometimes I have to really work at getting back to my default homescreen and out of the Car Dock. Numerous back, home, screen offs, to get it to go back.
I've never used either the dock or a headset before, so I might be missing something basic. Any help is appreciated.
I have the dock and connect to my Stereo via BT with no issues. yea, sometimes it takes a few seconds for the phone to realize it is no longer in the dock and go back to my home screen, but I find that if I just dont touch anything once pulling it out it switches on its own faster.
as to your bt issues... never had them. by bt's only flaw is that every once in a while it unconnects from my stereo and I have to reconnect.
also what ROM are you using? Locked or unlocked?
The last couple weeks my phone has started to do this weird thing it has never done before. I plug my Vibrant into my car's head unit using a 1/8 inch to 1/8 inch audio patch cable. Whenever I remove the plug from the phone, the slider for "Media Volume" is overlayed on the screen and quickly drops to '0'. I have to pull up my mixer every time I get in the car and bring the slider back up to '15'.
I've had similar issues with the phone in the past, where plugging in will automatically start the music app, but there are several headset blocker apps that work fine and prevent that. These apps have no impact on the present issue, though. Anyone have any idea how to stop this?
I've seen a lot of mention of a "mute bug" in various roms. A search for that, or maybe "unmute bug", should provide some info.

This is such a simple problem..
I tried explaining this to HTC tech support but they only have AT&T phones to look at and hold when customers call in.
The AT&T HTC One (M7) phone uses a custom setup for its car dock mode.
I am asking anyone who does NOT have the AT&T version to do a simple car dock mode test.
Here is the problem:
In Car Dock mode (whether you launch it via the app drawer or you plug it in to the official dock which launches it for you) in the bottom right corner is the SPEAK icon.
Launching SPEAK will enable you to call someone or search for music by voice (simple) it also has confirmation though unlike Google Voice Dialer or Google Voice Search.
(there is no icon in the App Drawer) it is only accessible in CAR Mode.
The problem is when you launch it, by design it searches through your contacts and music for just a few seconds to check if you have new contacts or music since the last time you launched it and becomes aware of them. So when opening SPEAK it says on the screen:
"PLEASE WAIT A FEW SECONDS WHILE UPDATING CONTACTS AND MUSIC".. (not the exact wording but close enough)
(it also says audibly via the speakers "PLEASE WAIT" (again, not the exact wording but close enough)
Then when its done searching (about 1 - 3 seconds) it makes a tone and starts listening for your commands.
This works perfect and its a great feature when driving.
NOW HERE IS THE PROBLEM I NEED TESTED:
When a bluetooth device is connected it will hang on the screen where it says:
"PLEASE WAIT A FEW SECONDS WHILE UPDATING CONTACTS AND MUSIC".. (not the exact wording but close enough)
At this point you should hear "PLEASE WAIT" (again, not the exact wording but close enough) but that NEVER happens, it just hangs there until you disconnect the bluetooth device and then reconnect it. Upon the bluetooth device reconnecting it finishes searching and works without any problems.
NOW PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY..
It works with a bluetooth car stereo, headset, etc just fine if you launch the SPEAK app from the Car Dock icon. All is spoken through the bluetooth device and all is perfect like you would expect.
Its ONLY when launching it via your bluetooth button that it hangs.
So the audio stream is working either way, but its the initialization from the bluetooth device that causes the hang..
THIS IS SO SIMPLE TO TEST FOR ANYONE WITH A BLUETOOTH CAR STEREO, HEADSET, ETC. EXCEPT FOR HTC BECAUSE THEY ONLY HAVE THE STUPID AT&T VERSION AT HTC TECH SUPPORT (argh!)
I managed to get it to work back to back successfully only once but I can not get it to do it again.
IF I can get a few people to verify this flaw we can get a fix started via HTC.
I tried to report the problem to them but they can not see what I am talking about so directing them to this forum after others verify it might just make the difference.
Any and all help is very appreciated, thanks...
Have you been able to use any other bluetooth device successfully? And have you checked the compatibility of that device with your phone? From what you're telling me, it seems very much like a bluetooth device compatibility problem, which is the same issue I had when I had a custom ROM flashed with my old HTC Rezound

Absolutely not a bluetooth device incompatibility.
All bluetooth devices I have tested (3 different models total: 1 car stereo and 2 different earpieces) work just fine when NOT in CAR mode.
The HTC One (M7) treats a bluetooth button press the same as any other android phone when NOT in CAR mode.
It will bring up a different dialer which uses voice commands and this works fine.
Answering phone calls and dialing out via bluetooth work on both earpieces when not in CAR mode.
The car stereo also starts the voice dialer when NOT in CAR mode, same as the 2 earpieces that were tested.
ONLY CAR mode will start SPEAK when pressing the same bluetooth button.
However as I described above, You can successfully use all 3 bluetooth devices (audio is routed through all 3 devices' microphones and speakers) if you press the SPEAK icon in CAR mode.
Pressing the bluetooth button to start SPEAK causes the fail on all 3. Sounds like the SPEAK app to me but I/we won't know without more feedback.
Thanks for the suggestion but I have now successfully tested 3 different devices that can START and HANGUP and REDIAL calls but the same 3 fail when pressing the bluetooth button in CAR mode hence I am trying to verify if others experience the same results.
Do you have a bluetooth earpiece or car stereo with bluetooth to test yours with?
I sadly don't have a device that I can test with my phone at the moment. I will see if I can dig one up and test it on my own. Have you tried going to your carrier and resolving the issue with them? I'm sure they'll be happy to replace the phone if it's still under warranty (seeing as it just came out, it should be) and the issue is legitimate.

Replacing a phone with a design flaw just gets me another phone with a design flaw. That is why we need to test it here and verify what results we all get.
I have the EXACT same problem using Bose 2 Bluetooth headset!

Voice dialing does not work on my T-mobile HTC one with my JVC stereo either. I have exactly the same symptoms you describe. My nexus one with CM 7.1 works perfectly and has for the last two years - so I know the issues I have are not related to my stereo.
Other things that work perfectly on my nexus one but are broken on the HTC one include:
AVRCP play / pause commands in music
AVRCP play / pause command in beyond pod
Wifi tethering
Notification light (HTC one light only flashes for five minutes, or not at all if connected to power)
Google voice (resets to T-mobile voicemail every few days)
Does not seem to get push notifications (have to wake the phone to check email, etc – presumably this is for power savings, but despite this nexus one has better battery life)
I think I am going to return the HTC one and wait for the next nexus device. The camera, speakers and screen are great on the HTC one, but every one of the above issues is a deal breaker for me (I use car mode / AVRCP a LOT). I’d consider cyanogen mod, but the lack of native camera support (optical image stabilization, low light performance, etc) due to no HTC camera driver source code / reliance on sense UI removes one of the biggest advantages this phone has over a nexus phone. I think I could stay with sense and root / hack a fix to all of the above problems except for voice commands in car mode (the original topic of this post) – I have no faith HTC will ever fix this. I tried using google search / voice commands as a replacement, but could not get that to work either. If anyone has a workaround for this issue please let me know, as that would be the difference between me keeping and retuning this phone. I have spent a month trying to like this phone, but it has too many software issues (above plus no recent apps button, menu overflow button). My nexus one just works – no need to research hacks on XDA to fix HTC and T-mobile limitations.

The Renovate ROM is fantastic you should really give it a try, the only thing that still does not work is the HTC speak app, but everything else you mentioned above I have not seen any problems with my mine.
They have updated the Renovate rom to 2.0 but I'm still running 1.0 with no issues at all.
I love the rom, the phone is fantastic except for the one issue with the voice dialer which eventually they will release an update for. You need to change the play/pause button when rooted to be the same key (key 200) if thats the problem.
I also set my forward track button to bring up Google search when long pressed, its great for driving to be able to long press a button on the stereo that I don't really use in that way already to do a Google voice search. I then use llama to return back to car dock mode after 20 seconds so that way I can get my results read to me from Google through the JVC so then it automatically goes back to car dock mode after long pressing the foward track key.
I can verify the same behavior. I came in looking for a MacGyver fix for the dock slipping and found this. When just connected to my headset no issues, but also add the car stereo in the mix and even with my headset I get the endless delay. I have always flashed my phones as soon as possible but with this I think I am going to wait and see what ROMS the senseless edition might bring that sounds imminent. Although I think I may be the only one who LIKES blinkfeed.
I like blinkfeed too.. I know some people complain about it, it's a sweet feature if you ask me but can't please all the people all the time..
I've now also an issue with my dock in that when I dock the phone it goes in to car mode, but then straight away opens up "Display Settings" even if i go "home", a few seconds later it opens it back up. Annoying, don't want to do a factory reset just yet.
Hi, I've got this issue too on my European HTC One with plantronic Discovery 975 headset
I'm getting this weird thing happening. I'm getting a Google voice search prompt when my Aux plugged in. Always used the same aux cable with other android phones and have never experienced this. I already have poweramp set to automatically play music when the aux is connected. But before my music will play I have to listen to Google say "if you just said something I didn't hear what it was". So annoying

Happens to me too on occasions. Thought it was caused by static when I plug in.

Nuther your not alone.
I have it happen on occasion.
When I googled this exact thing, it appears it has happened on other phones too.
Kind of funny when I plug in at night (I listen to music on phone through external speakers) I sometimes hear her say... "I''m sorry I didn't catch that."
Ditto. If you said something I didnt catch it..
No one has any idea to resolve it? It's weird. Only seen this on this phone
Sent from my LG-H901 using Tapatalk
I found that this is due to bad connection of your earphone, you can try to slightly pull your earphone a bit out the socket and you will get the google search pops up.
I've been getting the same problem. Very annoying. I've been searching the settings on this phone for a fix. My cable is not bad but obviously I see here from the other responses that it is an aux cable issue.
Is there any way to just disable the Google voice thing entirely? I never use it
Did y'all try the smart setting feature in settings you may have the "turn this app on when earphones are plugged in"
This was happening to me too but I turned if off in smart settings along with other things that turn in via Bluetooth connection.
Hope this helps
