wired headset button starts google voice search on short click not on a long one as it does on any other phone. This overrides any other app and makes headset button useless. the only way to stop it is to disable voice search all together, but i do not want to do so. Is there any other way ?

So I have a bluetooth car kit in my truck that gives me the option to map either the "answer" or "hangup" bluetooth functions to a button on the steering wheel. There is no option to start a call and start the voice dialer, that's why I want this:
What I want to do is first map the "answer" function to the steering wheel and have it work like this when it's pressed:
1. When the phone is not ringing or in a call: Launch a custom app (like a voice dialer app)
2. When the phone is ringing: answer the call (Already does this)
3. When the phone is in a call: hang up
I guess the first step I need to do is figure out if the car is even sending the "answer" key to the phone when it's not in a call.
If someone knows of some docs or sample code on how to intercept these commands, it would be most helpful.
Thanks,
Master Baron
In most of the old Nokia phones, when you press and hold the button on the bluetooth headset, it opens voice dialer when not in a call. I think it has to be a way to do this.
Greeting:
I have an A2DP Jabra Bluetooth headset and SGS2 (Tmobile). I try to speak use google map voice command but it doesn't seem to work. It seems to work with Samsung VoiceTalk but not Voice search. Is there a way to use Google voice command via A2DP Bluetooth headset.
Your time and help is greatly appreciated.
It doesn't support it (stupidly).
See if you can select Vlingo (presumably what the Samsung VoiceTalk actually is) under Settings -> Voice Input & Output -> Voice recognizer.
You can then use Google Voice but it'll use Vlingo to do the audio gathering/processing. I think I got it working this way.
I try your instruction. However, when I hold the talk/call button on the headset; I got the voice prompt from Vlingo the 1st time but sub-sequently I have to look at the phone and hit the Taps To Speak. What is brand and model of your headset if you don't mind I am asking? Mine is Jabra BT530.
I've seen complaints that some bluetooth functionality has been "hijacked" by Voice-Talk. I couldm't figure out how not remap or change that (without root-??), or maybe I didn't dig deep enough to solve the problem. A long-press on the bluetooth call button launches Voice Talk, and that was all you could do with it.
I've been unhappy with the inabilty to hear navigation instructions through my BT earpiece. I have an old loud convertible (top up) and can't hear the directions through the phone's rear speaker. I downloaded the BTmono app, and no more Voice Talk on long-press! It goes into the old pairing mode just like it did before GALAXY S2 took over.
The point is that with BTmono, I now can listen to navigation or music and phone calls seamlessly through my mono BT earpiece. If I want Voice Talk, I just launch it just like any other app, or double tap on the home button. It too comes through the earpiece. If I want to go back to the "long-press to launch Voice Talk", I just uninstall BTmono. Maybe this will help someone.

Voice command problem when headset plugged in phone jack fix
When you plug your headset jack in to listen to music, then turn off the screen, the google voice search and voice dialer pop up. They turn your music off and ask you fo search command. Arhhhhh aggravating. Go to phone settings/ task manager/ all aps , scroll down to google search and click disable. That fixed my phone. The note 2 has nice hardware and crappy software............
I was considering whipping up a simple app that would simulate a bluetooth headset button press and then I could use google now from the watch. I figured it is already connected with a headset profile, so why couldn't I activate a button event?
Has anyone done this? If not can you help me find out how to do this?
Thanks all
