Hopefully this is something I've overlooked. I've searched but couldn't find much. I have the wired headphones and when I use the long press it opens up the default music player. I planned to use this in the car and would rather it open voice search. Is this possible to change? Is it a different press...3 shorts or something? Using stock rom.
Use an app...

As strychninetwitch said, app...as simple as googling it here ya go seems to be the easy way.
I did Google but couldn't definitively find if I could do it on stock rom or not. I thought maybe there were some buried settings or someone would pipe up and say to upgrade to gb. I guess not. It looks like maybe you can with BT headset.Thanks for the link.

I'm on GB right now and searched all through settings,no good. I'm sure you could with a BT with multiple buttons..
Thanks for checking. Your link doesn't work. At least not on the phone. I searched for kober in the market and found it though. Made it launch voice search so that worked. I haven't explored much further.

Well it was a link to the android market website, so that's why. From what I read the button settings are changeable to your liking...
Yea. The search is working. Now just have to figure out how to reactivate voice/mic if I pause while speaking during a text.
I think your link is busted due to double http:

Is anyone else having issues with the accuracy of spoken word in Voice Search? For example, I say "navigate to the nearest hospital" and it thinks I'm saying "kkkk new york" This feature worked perfectly on my EVO. Anyone else noticing this or am I missing something?
Thanks!
All good here bro?

Bummer. I was hoping everyone would jump in and say something along the lines of "yeah it sucks BIG TIME" lol
K, I'll have to mess with it some more.
Try to adjust the voice search settings. Take off all the restrictions and it should work better.

mien sucks too!
Mine works really well
I updated mine from the market and it seems to be more accurate.

Aaah! That's a good idea! Will give it a shot. Why didn't I think of that? Probably cause I was overthinking it. You get a Thanks button press
I'm having the same exact problem with all of the k's! Updating hasn't fixed it, clearing the data hasn't fixed it... I've tried using voice on multiple applications and I keep getting that same problem. It'll do a bunch of k's and then just part of what I actually said. I don't know if it's a microphone problem?

Does the screen brightness short cut not work. Also it hangs sometimes when I use the network. Like market or file upload or Internet. It acts like its loading but a simple back and restart and it works. Thoughts? Where do I post issues with it. Also my defaults refresh sometimes.

Also is there a short cut way to quit a app not just minimize. With out task manager and force close. Like a quit button.

Hangs allot. Also why can't I use Google voice mail it wont sync my new carrier when I try. Is it Normal to forward my calls to another number. Like is that my real att voice mail or a preinstalled voice mail. Am I asking in the right place just checking my voice mail works

sounds like you could also benefit from learning basic ANDROID usage, not necessarily directly related to the skyrocket....
Hard to use the phone to get info. I'm learning. Trying to. Also I don't use drugs. Not nice say that. Thanks for the info though. Not the pipe comment. Lol. I will read up best I can on the phone. Will have a computer Monday then be easy

Lol. More the issue is taking one problem at a time.
And when asking for help, making your request easy to understand.
Otherwise it can seem......overwhelming
So pick one issue, do a google search, and if you still don't understand, come back here with what you found and we'll help you as much as we can.

Just curious, does the new Market seem a lot faster for you guys too?
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/12/14/download-android-market-3-4-4/
Just download and install. No root needed either. Seems much better. Also looks better on my Tab than the older version.
Nice. Can't wait to check it out later.

How do I install this? Should I manually push the apk with root explorer for it to work? I tried regular install but it doesn't install.
Update: I manually pushed it with root explorer and it worked. Thx for the tip.
sent from my CommandCenter using xda premium
I would push/replace, clear dalvik and reboot.
I just installed like any other apk... No problem
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I simply downloaded it... clicked on the completed download... then had the option to install... went straight to the market and checked the version, no issues at all.
Renamed and pushed no problem. Def faster.
I hope this fixes the "insufficient space" bug on our phones.
Noticeably faster for me.

when it comes to the market, it only updates when it's open. it's the only app that does it that way. all other apps will show in the notifications. if I'm wrong, please let me know, but I don't think that's the case.

How do you know that this is the ONLY app?
But anyway, my point is if Google can do it on Android platform it does not matter with one app or many.
PS: off-topic, Google Map subscribes to bunch of intents, so it would be launched when you turn-on screen, WiFi etc... I would like start application when I press app icon... There are no other way to opt-out other then disable Map in pm.
Google maps can be stopped by using the app autostarts. All those apps that start by themselves when you do something, ie reboot phone connect to wifi ect... no longer plague me. True, I just delete most of them, but there are some I actually use (like maps and Gmail).
Unfortunately I can no longer find the exact app I use in the market, though I'm sure there are others that do the same thing. If anyone would like the apk for the one I use just let me know and I can post it next time I'm on my laptop.

Autostarts is a paid app in the market.
If you found the developer posted it for free on XDA, please link to that... otherwise this breaks XDA rules.

My bad go back and see my previous posting, I didn't see it on the market when I looked last week. I just checked again and your right, it is still there. I'm not at my laptop now. Either need to have a mod delete my post or I'll do it tonight when I'm on the computer again.

It's under maintenance. If you use either the xda app or Tapatalk you will notice that the "participated" function isn't working either. The two issues are related.
That's understandable, however there is still a search function available. Even in the app, so I don't understand what all the fuss is about.

Hello all,
Ever since I flashed emancipation ROM on my infuse, pressing the search capacitive button no longer opens up the Google search box.
Otherwise the button works fine. long pressing the search button opens the “speak now"dialog and everything but not the Google search function for some reason.
Can someone guide me on how to bring back this functionality.
Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
This is because you probably do not have the Google Search app. If you want to get the functionality back, all you have to do is go on the Play Store and download Google Search.
Hope this works.

that's what I thought at first too. It is not included in the ROM but even after downloading the Google search app the issue persists. I will try flashing a different ROM.
Thanks for reply

Kind of embarrassing, but I've had this phone for over a year now and for some reason have never noticed or used the capacitive search button. Thanks for bringing this up, as I'm using it daily now. Handy!

Yep, I have the long press set to use Vlingo by default now, and that has come in very handy when driving with a Bluetooth headset.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2
so i installed a different rom hoping this issue would be fixed (Mind of Mac) and still same thing. I really like that fact that before i could simply "tap" the capacitive search button ONCE and search apps/contacts/internet/google serach...now i gotta use the google search widget which is extra work.
any one have anyideas?
thanks
