Hey guys I'm rooted and what not I have google now enabled so when I say OK google I can voice dial or what not just fine.
But if I have my screen off and try to use voice dial with my BT headset it uses a really shi**y voice dial I've never seen before. How can I change that? To be like my moot x or nexus phones ? They have a much better voice dial system...
Thanks for any help.

I use Bluetooth Launch from the Play Store. With that you can choose to use Google Search with a long press from your BT headset. It's not perfect, but it's a heck of a lot better than that crappy Google Dial.
Thanks bud I will try it and see how it works...
That app does not work any other ideas?

The text in the app choices is very small, but if you get out your magnifying glass and follow the directions here, it will work: http://hackerspace.lifehacker.com/reassign-your-bluetooth-phone-button-to-open-google-n-1507391132

I have the rezound, as well as a Kindle Fire, and I installed Google Voice on them. I read through other threads, and no luck with my problem.
I have used Google Voice on my computer to call and text people, and with my upcoming trip to europe, it would be nice to use that to call people back home.
Problem, I have it installed on two devices, yet on both it doesn't give me the option to call, or even compose any sort of message at all. Any ideas on what I can do? The only options I get are refresh, settings, and search.
For me, when I'm in my inbox (or any other folder) I have a compose button on the bottom left. For calls, can you go into settings, Making calls, and change it to ask for all calls? Then use your dialer to place a call and it should prompt you.

click settings. the second option in the settings menu controls the ability to make calls via google voice. it is however done by dialing a forwarding service and therefore uses your minutes. it is not voip.

I pretty much use Google Voice as my primary mode of voice calling. You don't make a call through the app. Simply go to settings, and tell it to either use GV for every call, or ask it to prompt you at every call whether to call from your phone or to call from GV. Then when you simply dial as normal through the dialer app, it will either just use GV if you told it to, or ask you which to use.
BTW, All GV calling functionality is disabled on wifi tablets. I honestly have no experience with 3G/4G tablets, but on my Wifi Transformers I have to install a SIP client on the tablet and route GV calls to another VOIP service I use.

I'm a bit confused. I thought the only Google Voice calling solution was GrooveIP if you want to send and receive calls properly for your Google Voice phone number. GrooveIP does not use your minutes and is definitely VOIP.
On every device I tried it on, there is a bit of delay with GrooveIP, but the quality is good (good internet connection required, whether its 4G or strong 3G or WiFi.)
Can you please elaborate a bit? Are you just using Google Voice app, but its using your minutes?

When you use the google voice app, it dials into the google voice services which then forwards the call to the number you dialed. You get charged for the minutes during the call as a result. This also breaks free mobile to mobile calling.
GrooveIP is a 3rd party app that lets you connect to GV via VOIP so you don't have that forwarding call.
Use sipdroid with pbxs function. Tie it to Google voice, download Google voice callback, and presto. Have it on an old evo for my 8 year old daughter. She loves texting with Google voice. Makes her feel like a teenager. There is sometimes a slight echo, but completely usable.

This is exactly how I made voice calling possible with my GV number on my wifi tablet.
Has anyone successfully used a SIP account on SIII?
Yes all the time...
Which app are you guys using? Anyone use native sip app which is within android? I tried using native but I noticed how during the call you cannot use the keypad. For example, after initial call connects, and the other side says - for technical support press 1, then the keypad doesn't work since the call is already connected. Anyone having this issue?
A how-to would be great...

I think I know what you mean.
You actually get the keypad, but no DTMF tone being sent to the other end, right?
I was going to suggest sipdroid but seems like sipdroid also have the same issue.
weird.

erm, maybe you can try viber? It has this feature though(although I've never used it)
Google Voice is free for calls in the US and possibly Canada IIRC. If you set up your Google voice number to not forward calls, and use the GrooveIP app. The Lite version will work fine for wifi only, but if you want to use 3G or find the app useful and want to support the dev while getting extra features, get the paid version.
Can you call numbers too or do you have to have the contacts themselves like skype?
Google voice is NOT a VOIP service, just a call forwarding service. You might want to give this thread a look.
:Edit: I didn't read spunker88's reply thoroughly enough. The thread I mentioned has a lot of information about setting up VOIP as he recommends.

Yes, you can call any US number, landlines or cell phones using GrooveIP which uses your Google Voice account. The app itself is done pretty well, it acts as a dialer and allows you to dial your phone's contacts through it.
Just be aware that this with this setup you'll have a separate phone number and you'll have to leave GrooveIP running while connected to wifi in order to receive calls.
Does bluetooth dialing (long press on headset, say call Bob) work on the stock HTC One? I have seen a lot of discussion of JB phones that voice dialing is broken on (including my non-rooted One X). I was thinking about upgrading, but wanted to see about this first.

Did you try disabling Google Search on the One X? That worked on some models of phone.
Regardless, has anyone tried to do voice dial via bluetooth on the One? That would be a big pain if it didn't work.
I just killed my old Captivate and was thinking about jumping from Sammy to HTC on AT&T.

Yes, I tried that. It disabled Google search as expected but it didn't help the voice dial. Maybe if they ever make the OTA JB on the One X rootable that will fix it.
Has anyone who go the new One tried BT voice dialing?

Went to Best Buy and asked to pair a BT headset to a One. Voice dialing worked fine.

On my One, with the Google Search update it stops working over Bluetooth. If I uninstall the update for google Search, it works again.
I'm using the stock ROM.

This is a great little handset but limited by no dial function it is pretty well limited!
I mean answering calls is great but to make a call you have to get the ultra out and dial and then swap to the handset.
Is there any way to voice dial or are we hoping for an update from Sony?

Currently there is no way to access your address book. Probably wont be either as imagine the time it would take to scroll through your contacts. I have over 500, so thats just not an option.
To access a dialer, and move between numbers is probably the only real choice, but that would still take a long time.
I can't see any of these being implemented by Sony.
My 2 cents
I bought mine yesterday, and yes , the fact that you can only access he call log but not contacts is annoying. But can't someone write a small app for it to bring up the contacts just like my car does? i mean i can enter contacts and then i have to select the first letter. this could be fairly ok-ish, right?
Is there a way to use it to wake google now and get google now to dial the number we want?
Fwiw I sold the phone and bought a note 3
Lovely bit of kit but too compromised as a phone for me
