anyone know how to do this?
still curious to see if this is doable, id really like to be able to use that button to play music, or send texts, navigate,... etc
voice dialer does just that, dials... i want more!
Hey guys I recently flashed the newest Miui (2.6.8) and I don't have the microphone option on the keyboard for speech recognition.
I've installed voice search and enabled the microphone option under the default keyboard settings however it is still not there. I read somewhere that there should be an option called "Google voice typing" under Settings > Language & Input but i do not have that and was wondering if anyone knows how I can get that input method.
Big Thanks!
Does anyone know how to change the default program "voice dialer" on the lock screen and replace it with Google Now(search). On my old phone, gnex, i was able to disable "voice dialer" for my blue tooth headset to work. On the m8, there is no voice dialer to disable. If this helps anyone, when the phone is unlocked and i hit the voice button on my Bluetooth, Google now opens. When the screen is locked, voice Dialer opens.
I would also like to know how to change this.

Same. I use a bluetooth headset, I find it incredibly annoying that I can't use Google now when my phone is locked in my pocket. Voice dialler is so crap it can't recognize basic English words.

I use bluetooth launcher from the play store. It does the trick for me. I followed this guide and now I can access Google Now without touching my phone with my bluetooth. http://hackerspace.lifehacker.com/reassign-your-bluetooth-phone-button-to-open-google-n-1507391132
Wanted to bump this to the top-- I tried the solution above and lets just say it wasn't elegant. I'm trying to have it work with my 435i which is actually programmed to play nicely with google now--problem is the M8 boots up voice dialer instead of Google Now.
With the solution above, it will start voice search, and search and give me an answer, but then I have to manually exit google now on the phone before it will let me search again, and even then it's iffy.
Have there been any more developments on this front?

Hello,
I recently convinced my friend (iPhone enthusiast) to give android a try. He constantly uses his wired headset to make voice dials and verbal text messages. With his new HTC One M8, when his phone is locked, instead of Google Now opening form a headset button press, Google Voice launcher opens.
Any luck on getting Google Now to be the default voices search from the lock screen?
Does Note edge support incoming call voice announcement? I don't find any settings
Up....
Is not possible at all?
Samsung is really cutting corners on note edge.
on my note3, she speaks out the phone numbers,
and you can also say "alarm stop" to stop the alarm.
on note edge, you need a app for that.
just search caller annonce on play store.

Completely incorrect they just moved everything around to make you explore the device. I believe the option you're looking for is located under "language and input" then scroll to the bottom and select "read notifications aloud". I had the Note 3.....before getting this actually and all the stuff that you say it doesnt do it does just fine. If its not working for you most likely you jumped the gun and removed S Voice. S Voice is required for all voice commands even though your not using it freezing it or removing it will cause voice commands to stop working. Ex. Camera voice commands, music player voice commands, etc.
Read notifications aloud setting also has been now removed from Note 5. This is frustrating.
i have Samsung galaxy s8+ and it does not have the feature of announcing incoming calls. does anyone have the same problem?
Hi all,
I am having an issue with my Galaxy S6 Edge+ with Bluetooth forcing the speakerphone when I am making a call and driving. This has just starting occurring since the Nougat update. If someone calls me I can still answer from the head unit and the Bluetooth works perfectly. The issue is when I make a call and press the steering wheel Bluetooth button. When I do this and say the name of the person to call I get the voice command saying "Calling so and so mobile...ON SPEAKERPHONE". It says it's calling the person but then says ON SPEAKERPHONE.
What is interesting is I played around with different settings, reset my phone, unpaired and repaired, and still the same issue since the Nougat Update. But what is interesting is that I found if I make a call while my screen is active (screen is on), and I make the same Bluetooth call, I can see the google voice icon pop up on my phone, the call is made CORRECTLY, through Bluetooth. However, if my screen is off and I make the call, it ALWAYS reverts to speakerphone. So as long as I touch my phone to make the screen active for 5 or 10 seconds or whatever I have the screen set to, as long as the screen is on the Bluetooth always performs correctly. I can not figure out how to prevent the speakerphone from being the primary source when the phone screen is off and I make a Bluetooth outbound call.
Again, if someone calls me, it doesn't matter if my phone is locked, screen is off or on, the Bluetooth always works fine. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Any help is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Seems to me that the wakelock for Bluetooth calling is set to be inactive while screen is off. See if you can find that wakelock or some other wakelock that would disable Bluetooth calling and switch it so that screen off does not interfere.

@ droidriven, thank you for your reply. I have never heard of wake lock before, is this an option within settings on my Galaxy S6 Edge+? I never had this issue with prior OS's but with Nougat this issue immediately became present. If you could lead me in the right direction where I might find the wake lock setting for Bluetooth, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you again.
it looks like you are on to something. I checked this again and anytime I make a call via Bluetooth voice command and where my screen is off, I hear the automated voice command say calling so and so....on speakerphone....but when it says this, the screen stays locked and does not activate on the voice/Bluetooth command to call. I am using google voice and see no settings for wake lock or anything similar but I have pinned this down to anytime the screen is off, the voice command/Bluetooth always go to speaker phone. If someone calls me, it always works correctly, but that is because when someone calls me, my screen automatically engages/turns on.
Anyone else have this issue? It's definitely a problem and dangerous to have to grab my phone to turn it on or unlock it before making a voice/Bluetooth call. Any help to fix this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Go to PlayStore and do a search for:
Wakelock Detector
Wakelock are system processes and don't have a "setting" to manage them.
Use this app to find the running wakelocks, if you track it down you can then look for a way to manage it the way you need it to work. It works with root and without, instructions for without root are in the link.

Then read this to understand wakelocks

Droidriven,
I have a little more info on this issue. I did more research and realized somehow my "S VOICE" app was disabled so I enabled it and right away this issue was fixed! With S VOICE enabled, anytime I use the voice recognition button to make a call the screen on my phone immediately activates and the call works without going to speaker phone. With S Voice I can at least use the voice recognition button to make a Bluetooth call while driving and not have to worry about the call going to speakerphone.
The only issue I have noticed is it appears S VOICE isn't as accurate as google voice and google voice worked perfectly for me before the Nougat update. Now that I've isolated this issue to google voice where the screen will not activate when using the voice recognition button on my steering wheel to make a Bluetooth call and which causes all calls to go to speakerphone.....is this still something this wakelock detector may fix? My phone is not rooted and I have downloaded the non-rooted version of wakelock detector, I just don't know if it's going to help or not. It's odd that google voice worked fine prior to the Nougat update, whether my screen was off or locked when using Bluetooth and now all of a sudden this issue is present.
Any suggestions on this now that we know it's only google voice that has the problem and not S VOICE?

According to this and many other links I checked out, this is a common issue due to G Voice and S Voice incompatibility.
