I have installed the leaked Froyo release, and reinstalled all apps and settings using instuctions found on this forum. That all went very smoothly, so, thanks to the people here. I have to report one error in the system that has been reported in other forums many times. The new froyo voice actions from voice search do not work properly or at all in some cases. The new voice search understands my voice perfectly, but then fails to perform the voice activated commands ("voice actions") as google intended. If i say "Call John Smith", voice search performs a google search for the phrase "call john smith", rather than calling John Smith (John Smith would be a google contact). I spent quite some time looking for a solution but found none that work. Disabling contact sync, deleting the contact cache and resyncing from gmail does not work. I doublt I will be the only one who filnds this problem. If anyone is aware of a fix for this, please post a link.
Thanks

It's not a bug or a problem as a lot of people think of it. Voice search and Voice commands have been split in the Mesmerize build. This is not like a regular Google Vanilla build. Both work, and work very well, just not as most people are used to. I've posted a couple of replies to this same type of "problem" before, but you have explained yourself a lot better than most people. I assume that you had experience with other Android phones with both of these features built in to one application. Personally, this is my first and only Android so it's all that I am used to.
I hope this helps explain things and help you with the issue. It's helped other people in the past.

Does that mean there's a separate application for Voice Actions?
phedelt82,
I am alittle confused as to what you are saying, Are you referring to the Nuance voice commands as separate app. I can get that to work, but it is sluggish and less accurate than the google search version. There is a google video demonstrating voice actions from inside of voice search. I think this is supposed to be part of the stock rom, no need to download a separate app. That said there is an upgrade on the market for google search that becomes available once on 2.2. With or without this, the prolem still exists.
My understanding is that in Froyo, the google search app shound first interperate the words that are being spoken. Then based on what phrase it desides has been said either performs a google search on the phrase, or if the phrase contained the right opening keyword, such as "call" or "email" or "map" or "directions", it issues a 'voice action' command to the associated app. Eclair did this with some apps such as calling reasonably well right from the stock google voice search. In Froyo, the abilty of voice search to understand what is being said I would say is improved. However, it drops the ball when it comes to passing the intended command to the app. Oddly, It will call any resturant or bussiness not in my contacts with total reliability. Something is wrong possibly when the voice search recognises the keyword "call", executes the voice action assoicated with "call" (the dailer) and then finally gets confused when it somehow fails to find the contact requested, even though it is in the google contacts.
I was wondering if I am the only one with the problem of the market, or appbrain or any other wifi app FCing randomly? Also if enabling debugging and system lagfix in CWM recovery could b my problem? Thnx in advance and fo all the excellent work the devs have done on these ROMs and Kernels.
Sent from my Mesmerize using XDA,s awesome app
I had a modem crash error xD. Factory reset fixed it. Not a big deal at all. >.>
I realize the this is a Meserize forum but I am having the exact same problem with my Verizon Fascinate that I've update the to a leaked Froyo. Other voice commands seem to work fine and "Call <business name>" works great! But if I try "Call John Smith work1" then it does a google web search for that instead of dialing that phone book entry! It's very frustrating...
I'd be willing to bet that it's the same problem and will have the same solution (since the phones are so related). So I hoope someone has fix for this.

This appears to be a common issue and so far I haven't found anyone with an answer other than to use a different app.
I have still been unable to figure this out. I have found that the people I know with HTC's and froyo or DroidX and some others do not have this problem. Did Samsung somehow create this bug putting it into touchwiz, or is this possible a defect due to the non official release?

phidelt82, can you explain what you mean by the Voice Search and Voice Actions being split? If they are split, does that mean they can be accessed separately?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that this Speech to Text conversion doesn't take place on the device, but rather the voice data is sent to a web server that decodes it and send back the text?
Is this true?

Yes. All the options till this date use a server for it as the database would be too big to be housed inside a smartphone.

I too used Vlingo with my Blackberry during the painful months that I had to use the Curve. It is the only thing that I miss about that device, and I too have been looking for this software. Vlingo was very smooth, and it processed everything on the device itself. Telus offers a Voice Command service, but even their proprietary version takes much longer to convert than Vlingo did.

It's basically Samsung's answer to Apple's Siri. Though I don't think it is as advanced, but not really sure. I only messed around with it briefly on SkyICS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S_Voice
Little comparison between the 2 - http://phandroid.com/2012/06/13/face-off-samsung-galaxy-s3s-s-voice-vs-iphone-4ss-siri-video/
Played around with it for a few minutes.
-Made a call
-Sent a text
-Set an alarm
All 3 without a single issue, voice recognition was great and I was mumbling quietly for the majority of commands including the actual text.
You can also use "Navigate to x" and "What is the weather".
If anyone find a comprehensive list of commands could you please post a link?
Thank you

i have used command's like "How is weather today?" "Where can I get pizza or gas?" "How does my day look?" and I got right answers.
The only issue I had was with Voice command integration. I have a Blueant Q2 and "Phone Command" should automatically invoke S-Voice. 8 out of 10 times it did not work and that's probably because it has not been properly integrated in S2. I am sure it works well in S3.
**UPDATE** I MADE IT WORK
Hey, I'm not sure if there is an answer to this...
I just got my GS3 and love it! However, Google Voice 0.3.0 (ya'll know why I love it) crashes on the ICS 4.0.4 platform. I have been using
Voice+ but I just don't like the call back feature. I have also found a smart gv dialer that automatically decides between gv and the cell carrier based upon certain rules but it still takes a while to complete the calling card style dial through.
YES, I WANT MY CAKE AND TO EAT IT TOO!!! or in this case my ice cream sandwich I know with the unlimited plans floating around most people don't care anymore. I have an OLD OLD OLD plan that is grandfathered in with unlimited data so I don't want to give it up.
My question is, does anyone know of a fix for the app crash that worked fine in 2.2. Or has anyone "recompiled" the app to work in ICS?
Thanks for any help...
THE ANSWER!!!
UPDATE:
Yay! I know it doesn't seem like much for some but those of us still using our trusty f&f plans this is big.
I hope this helps someone out there who found that the old GV 0.3.0 app would hang up and crash as soon as you touched next on the new ICS 4.0.4.
If you want to have the old GV 0.3.0 on ICS 4.0.4, follow these steps:
1. Install newest version of GV from play store.
2. Open GV and touch next but do not choose the displayed gmail account touch USE A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT (this is the only way to get this
to work!)
3. Type in your Gmail address and your password (I know it is the same one that was displayed on the previous page... THIS IS THE ONLY
WAY TO GET IT TO WORK!) Touch sign in.
4. Choose how you want GV to dial and whether or not you want to set up the GV Voicemail.
5. Now, download the old GV 0.3.0 apk here: http://www.freewarelovers.com/androi...oice_0.3.0.apk
Thank you www.freewarelovers.com!!
6. Make sure Install from Unknow Sources is selected under the security tab in your settings menu.
7. Open the Google_Voice_0.3.0.apk file (Look in your apps and touch Downloads to get to the downloaded files)
8. You will get a message that you are replacing an application and that all previous user data will be saved. Touch OK.
9. Touch Install.
Now you should have a working GV 0.3.0 apk that will allow you to call through GV utilizing only one access number place this number in your F&F list and make outgoing calls for free!
*Disclaimer - Although this works you may want to review your TOS to see if this violates your carriers terms for Friends and Family numbers.
If this helped you please show my thanks meter some love!

Gv works fine for me. Are you still stock or on a custom rom? Fresh gv download from play?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
GV works for me as well, I only use it for voicemails but I haven't had any odd issues. Btw, why are you on an older version? The app hasn't been updated since March but it's on build 0.4.2.54. I definitely suggest using the above users' suggestions.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
The reason for gv 0.3.0 is because this is the last version that does not use direct access numbers. It only uses one number for direct dialing out. Which means I can assign the one number to my f&f list.

I know it is fairly moot, I said almost the same thing in my original post. However, some of us don't like change. Also, I only have 500 minutes for my wife and I to share (makes our plan really cheap) but we do have F&F numbers. Generally the callback dialers don't put the outgoing number in the history and it takes 5 seconds or so to connect to the outgoing call (also fairly moot for the use of free calling).

Oh im sorry I think you misunderstood what I meant. The way you describe above didnt work for me, I still got force closed when launching GV after installing the older version. You can search here and see the thread regarding that.
What I meant was, there is a simple way to use the new version of google voice that allows for dialing one number only so that your friends and family list can have that one number in it still. I like the look of the new version personally, I would like a black themed one though so I may look for that later.
A side note, the new plans include unlimited voice anyways so it only really matters if you arent on one of the new plans.

First, what is your problem? Did you not read my posts or just like to come and insert your conjecture wherever you can? I stated I have a CHEAP plan with only 500 minutes. I pay $89/mo for two smartphones with unlimited data, TRY TO BEAT THAT PRICE!
Second, if you merely select the gmail account linked to your phone on the first set-up screen then it wont work. You must use the "use a different account option." Then yes, you manually type in the same gmail address that is more than likely the gmail address you use to link your android phone to google. This is the way that the old google voice app stores your user data and will allow the old gv app to work. Plus, there is no way to make the new gv app stop dialing direct access numbers.
Feel free to offer the way you "know" it can only dial one access number and I would be more than happy to try the new gv app.
UPDATE: Furthermore I have looked at all of your posts concerning this issue and you have not offered a single solution towards the problem nor explained work arounds you tried or how they failed or worked.

you are being way to hostile. I AM IN THE SAME BOAT AS YOU, I have 1400 minutes with a family plan. I am however fortunately on unlimited data. So I dont know what you mean by "insert your conjecture". I will beat it because I pay $150 for 5 lines and have unlimited data on at least 2 of the lines. So I understand the value of friends and family lists.
The "Second , if you merely select... " way doesnt work in all/most cases. I have discussed this in another thread that I had locked because there was no interest in this. The way I came up with works consistently.
I wasnt being confrontational to you, I even apologized that you misunderstood what I was saying. I will say it again too, sorry if what I was saying came across differently then what I said. I have tried your way on multiple phones repeatedly and kept getting force close. That is how I figured this other way that actually works on the new version of the app.
Still no help

no thanks, for someone being so hostile why would anyone want to share with you. you could of searched and easily seen the post I made a month ago about this and that it works but instead you rack up 7 posts boasting something new and being a jerk, as if no one else has ever thought of this. Theres other users that have pm'd me and I've helped them get this working properly on the new app version.
Right on for getting it to work because thats the goal really. But when you see that it doesnt work on all google voice accounts, you might want to rethink your responses.
p.s. good job searching after posting. No I am not gauging demand, I've helped people in pm because of WHY google voice calls a different out number each time normally.

Sorry kennyglass, not trolling at all. In fact, I took a second to think about the google voice app functionality and this thread. There is a reason Google changed the app from the old version to new version and why it dials random multiple numbers. So, posting in public how to circumvent that might not be the best idea, especially if we want it to continue to function with one number dialing.
You can look that there is no less then 3 threads related to this subject that I posted over the past couple months.
1. How to check compatibility with older version of google voice app to ICS and the SGS3
2. How google voice apps functions and why one gv account dials a single number while others dial multiple numbers (when setup the same with the same versions of apps)
3. How to get it working and the interest of others wanting to know how to do it with the newest version of the app.
You just have to search before starting a new thread.
This isnt where I just saw a random thread in General and said lets mess with the guy, NO, in fact this has been a couple months in the making where I tested, asked questions, tested more, then figured out how to do it. As I said before, it might not be the best idea to post how to do it on the newest version of the app where it works on every gv account (not just some). I have helped many others already on how to do it privately as I am not sure I want google to discover this and stop it. Surely you know that google did this at the pressure of the Cellular providers?
The kind, not so negative people that want help have figured out that they can simply pm me and I'll help. Also, I wasnt flaming, trolling, nor was I even negative. I complimented the OP for figuring out a way that works for him. I even apologized TWICE for any misunderstanding, but I didnt feel to much like sharing publicly after being told what is your problem or to prove it... would you?
maybe people shouldnt read 'tone' on the internet, reading doesnt always translate to tone well..........
and to note the half read posts comment, it is hard to reply to a post that is edited over and over, hence the ORIGINAL quote, to inform the reader what was being commented on.
Thanks for the PM tillithz. The process was simple and easy and it works.
Since, I came up with a way that works 100% of the time without using an OLD version and I am happily helping others get it working as well, I will link to the ORIGINAL thread so that I dont ruffle any feathers here. You can either use the OP'ers method with the old version of the app or visit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=31936430#post31936430 for a current method. enjoy!
Trying to use a different google account, and then using my same name and password didn't work. It said that user already existed. So I was forced to sign in using my main google account. Went through the rest of the steps and everything appears to work, I was able to install GV 0.3 and open it up. Although it doesn't appear to actually function. It won't download my new messages, for instance. Any help?
I was able to make this trick work by installing google voice version 0.4.2.54 along with google voice version 0.3.0. Thanks for the great trick! Its very usefulx for those of us on a legacy plan.

home 2, i havent got a clue where the options being suggested are from the blogpost and from both the xda thread and stackexchange it appears bluetooth launcher hasnt been updated, i tried to use it before on my s3 wasn't great by any respect.
The main reason for is that the default option uses the us voice, which is strange as I have gone through google search, google now and many other options and they all say uk which actually from me playing around really does make the difference in voice recognition to me personally, also its soooo frickin slow to call someone on voice dialler compared to google now.

You can try using this to activate Google Now instead of the voice dialer.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kin.bluetooth_launch
Open the app, scroll down to Google Search, click it, then choose the 3rd option com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity, launch the voice dialer and you'll get an option to choose Bluetooth Launch as the default, choose that....PROFIT!!!!
Hope this helps.
disable voicedial.apk or remove it works just fine for me.

cheers all the blutooth app worked
I just wrote a simple app (improved over Bluetooth Launch for this purpose, I think). I describe it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/bt-activate-google-voice-dialer-t3012622
So this, might be a CM question, but has anyone using google voice on a stock rom seen the integration message in the updated google hangouts app "Migrate google voice to hangouts"? I've gotten the update, but I haven't seen the message as of yet and was just curious if the CM voice+ thing was interfering with it.

Thanks
I'm not using an OPO, but I do have my # ported to Google Voice. I have yet to see the message. I was reading a blurb on PhoneArena that the transition is not going too smoothly. I'd recommend to wait a bit, and let Google sort it all out.

My thoughts exactly, hoping they sort everything out as well. I have my Google Voice number and my regular number. I actually use both for different sets of people since Google Voice can't do international calling. To accomplish this took some fiddling though. I have Hangouts set to my default sms app, and Voice+ option disabled, this way the two environments stay separate. Otherwise all messages would be sent from either one or the other number completely.
Ideally would love to run everything through Hangouts with the option to choose how the communication is sent: phone's number, gv number, or hangout (the way it is now in how you can choose sms or hangout). Can't be an easy thing they're doing trying to integrate everything.
I have been waiting a long time for this. I hadn't seen that droid life article, thanks zephik. Hopefully they flip the switch back on soon. I use my GV number exclusively, so this integration is a godsend.

Hehe droid life is a pretty good site. They have some exclusives here and there. My main android blogs are AndroidPolice, droid life, and Android central. Mainly AndroidPolice though.
