I just got the S5 and I've always liked the voice control feature in case I need to answer a call by voice. But for the S5, if I turn the voice control on(call settings > answering and ending calls > Voice control) then caller ID voice prompt would turn on by default as well. But I don't want the annoying voice prompt telling me who's calling. My previous devices had the option of turning it off(S4, Note 2). But with the S5, I can't turn the voice prompt off and still keep the voice control! Am I missing something?
Is anyone using voice control and seeing the same thing???
I would like to know this too..

I purchased a Motorola TZ700 Roadster and paired it up with my Atrix. Pressed the Voice Dial button and it works.
Did it a few times and everything seems ok..
Then the Atrix screen goes blank (I have it set for two minutes)
If I hit the voice dial button on the roadster while the phone is 'asleep' the roadster beeps twice and I do not get a "say command" prompt.
If I unlock the phone and hit the roadsters voice dial it works.
Seems to only have a problem when the phone is asleep.
I then tried to play music over the roadster while the phone was asleep and it plays no problem.
Has anyone else come accross this? any solutions? Ideas?
Is this normal for a android phone?
Thanks,
Pete
Try freezing viingo. Worked for me.

Bluetooth voice dial
On my ATRIX and I believe all Android phones from Motorola if you have a password set bluetooth will not work to start voice command unless the phone is plugged in to a charger. I know my ATRIX will not start voice command unless I unlock the phone. Not good as I can't have a password and bluetooth voice dial, not happy.
hope this helps

Thanks for the replys.. Freezing vlingo didn't resolve it.
I'll guess I'll have to live with it and plug it in when I get in the car..
Appreciate the reply.. thought I was going nuts...

On the Atrix just having the screen off (no password set), bluetooth voice commands will not work. The funny thing is I can even hear the phone beaping but the headset does not beap back to take a voice command. Using all Plantronics headsets.
Does anyone have a headset that this does not happen and you can BT voice command with the screen off?
Bluetooth voice dial
I use a Motorola S605, EQ5, Finiti, Oasis and H15 they all work for voice commands with screen off. I did not have good luck with the S10-HD. Check your settings for bluetooth and I very strongly suggest you install MotoSpeak. In MotoSpeak under Settings Enable Voice Commands and Enable Listen. MotoSpeak is an amazing program!
Hope this helps,

I use a plantronics headset that works with voice dial as long as no pin/finger print security is enabled
There is a setting under "Security" that will enable voice dialing when the phone is locked
Anybody have any hints for using voice recognition with a headset? It knows I'm trying to talk to it, but it doesn't seem to know what I'm saying so it keeps telling me to try again instead of dialing.
I've been experimenting and if I use the Voice Search application on the phone everything appears to work except that somehow sound coming and going is completely cut off.
Voice Dialer doesn't work with the headset or without.
I can use Voice Search to place the call and then turn on my headset and switch over, but I get an error on the screen that the communication app has failed. The error being on screen doesn't interfere with the call though.
Odd effect is that the volume control buttons got stuck on bluetooth in-call volume. I had to restart the phone to clear it.
I assume you are referring to voice dialing from a bluetooth headset. As far as I can tell from reading the forums it never worked but has been fixed in the new 351 update (Android 2.2.2). It didnt work for me on the 318 build but now does on the 351 build. I dont believe voice search works from a bluetooth headset though as far as I know.

i use cyberon voice speed dial, it works but u have to shout loud the names
tried with different bt headsets
Hello,
I bought the app for voice dialing Voice Speed Dial. It looks very good. You want to use the voice dialing via BT HF (via the button), but unfortunately I still starts with Voice and when you turn it off, so I started Google.
I would please ask you how you can nastvit it to run directly Voice Speed Dial? Calmly, even if off or uninstall Google search with Voice - just do not use these applications.
Thanks so much for any advice.
Hello, i cannot get Voice Dial to work.
I use a Plantronics M55, which should - on long button press - initiate the phone's voice dial. I tried a lot of apps, whatever I try: nothing happens. I also miss a profile for 'remote control', in blootooth settings I only see phone audio and media audio.
Anyone got this running? Seems Sony forgot the bluetooth profile :/
Thanks for any hint!
I am trying to use the voice command feature w/my Galaxy S4 w/4.4.2 (KitKat, NK1).
Voyager and Edge headsets have a feature where a 2 second press on the Mute button when not in a call will launch Voice Search on the phone so you can use voice commands from the headset (e.g., "Call xyx on mobile") to make calls.
While connected to my phone but not in a call I press the Mute button for two seconds. I hear a brief low tone (from the headset) and then nothing - I never hear the Google Voice search tone/prompt coming from the phone through the headset.
Everything is configured properly as far as I can tell:
1. Audio over Bluetooth and requests over Bluetooth are enabled in Google Search.
2. Bluetooth commands are enabled in S4 settings when the phone screen is locked.
3. Phone is connected via BT to headset.
4. Legend has been granted access to contacts and call history. (Not sure this even matters for this issue.)
5. Firmware has been updated on the Legend to the latest and rebooted the headset and unpaired and paired it again.
I tried disabling S Voice (I never use it, but went ahead and turned it off) and that didn't help.
FWIW, I get the same results with the Edge headset as well. (Also updated to current firmware.) Since both fail I'm thinking that this is a Samsung issue.
Help! Any known work-around to get this to work. This makes the headset useless to make calls w/the phone in my pocket - I have to take my phone out, wake it up, enter my pin, and hit Home to go to the Google voice search prompt and then talk via the headset. Not exactly convenient.
Help! (And thanks!)
Holy Buttons, Batman. Figured it out.
<gulp> Operator error.
Was hitting the wrong button. Call button for 2 secs, not mute/voice command button.
Crawling back under my rock now.
