How do I disable Google Voice or whatever it is that keeps saying "sorry, if you said something...I did not catch it", every time I plug in my head phones. Thank you in advance.
It's Google Now and you can't unless you uninstall or freeze it. It sucks.

Hello,
I'm not doing well with the integrated voice dialer. It is nice that it is free but not very accurate ( have about 400 contacts and often it just tries to dial stuff on in my contacts). I also get frustrated it dials the wrong number without verification that it has the right number.
The MS command was very accurate. It might seem crazy but if that is made by a third party, do they make a droid version? I'm very new to android so I appreciate the info.
Try Vlingo. I find that it is generally more accurate than the free google voice recognition.

+1 for vlingo. I feel the same way about MS Voice Command, in comparison to the stock voice search on android.
Thanks - I just tried VLINGO - maybe I don't have it set up properly. I want something just MS Voice command where I press the button on my headset and it I say "call john doe at mobile" and it properly selects the name from my contacts and then says "call john doe on mobile" and I say yes and it dials.
VLINGO kept on coming up with on screen prompts. I don't want to look at my phone while I'm driving.

The first time you trigger it (by holding the search button), it will ask you some crap. Just go through that once, and it won't do it again. Next time you hit it, it will just pop up a screen that says "Listening..." At that point just say, "Call homer simpson mobile" and it will do so. It has been remarkably accurate for me. And you can even have it do other things than dial (send text to..., etc.).
Overall, I like it about as well as MS voice command, and it does more.
Also, no need to hit "go" when you're done speaking. Just wait a second and it will figure it out. The less interaction with the screen, the better, in my opinion.
Thanks - I think my mistake was setting it for vlingo inCar. I still could use your help a bit further. I don't know how to have it give me a verbal confirmation vs. on screen. I also don't know how to have it search my contacts and not the web/yellow pages. When I'm calling via BT, I know who I want to call.

I haven't used it, but here is how you setup verbal confirmations: open the app, click menu, settings, click advanced, and check "text to speech (beta)."
I've never had mine search the web. Are you using "Call..." or just saying the person's name? Try saying "call peter griffin at home" instead of just "peter griffin" and see if that works better for you. There must be a setting to disable that, because I've never had it search the web when I was trying to dial someone. However, I don't use it with bluetooth very often.

It's doing the same thing for me when I try to call a contact, if I don't say @ mobile or @ work. If I say @ mobile or @ work then it works pretty good. The deal breaker for me is that while using it if I hit the call/end button on my bluetooth it just shuts off the bluetooth earpiece and doesn't hang up the call like the standard dialer does.
My phone is using my Google Voice number to send texts and make calls even though I'm quite sure I told it not to do this when I installed it. Any way to reverse this?
uninstall and then reinstall. it would be the easiest way to fix it. because i think you completed the google voice + sprint integration thing instead of skipping it and idk how to reverse it other than going into the google voice settings on your computer.
hope this helps

Disabling it online worked. I don't know why the app can't do that. Thanks!
Log onto Google voice from a computer. Go to settings. Uncheck "Recieve text messages on this phone" also make sure on your phone texts go to the "messaging app".
You should also be able to change your default phone number.
Yep, sounds like you ended up shifting your Google Voice to your phone.
You have to go into Google Voice via a browser to undo it.

I've been playing around S voice and it's worse than the standard voice command android comes with. I was trying to find the app for it but could not. Only S voice was in the applications. I saw it is installed under "manage applications" but I can't open the application. Can someone help me find the file to run the standard voice command app? Thanks.
Couldn't agree more. I used the stock "Voice Search" app on my last phone to send text messages ("Text [CONTACT] message [MESSAGE]"), and it worked great. "S Voice" is pitiful. Has a tough time recognizing my contact names, and doesn't even pick up spoken punctuation.
So to bring back the option to use the "Voice Search" app, I just uninstalled the one that came with the phone (version 3.something), and then reinstalled from the market (which currently has version 2.1.4). Was able to find it in my app tray after that.
One caveat: I'm rooted, and uninstalled using Titanium Backup. You may not be able to do it from the "Application Manager".
Hope this helps!
Yeah I removed it as well. I found it too slow to respond to what you say. Anyway voice command doesn't really seem that useful to me. If I set an alarm using voice I would be paranoid and check the alarm was actually set.
I've connected an old Android phone to a bluetooth speaker and installed the Google Assistant Launcher, effectively creating a FAUX Google Home. I THINK I finally got it to work, but having one major issue... it only seems to respond to my voice. When my wife says "Okay Google," it doesn't respond. I see that Google Home just got an update for multiple users, but it doesn't appear like that has come to the phone. Anyway to have it recognize anyone's voice? Even with a 3rd party app or something? I leave the phone plugged in all the time, so just need something to hand off to Google Assistant.
Not sure how it happened, but someone left me a voicemail on at&t and now phone shows this annoying "new voicemail" notification. I can not turn it off because it is created by "phone services", and samsung prohibits me from disabling voicemail notifications. I don't have access to at&t voicemail, and I don't want to. I just want to shut it down and never see it again.
I'm starting to have buyers remorse for getting this piece of junk which force feeds me with stuff I don't wanna eat
Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, u my only hope
Well I'm not Obi Wan Kenobi and the only force I can use is sudo. Try notifications off by Giorgi on the Google play store.
