Am I missing something or does the phone really not have "Voice Dialer" on it? That seems kindof nuts?
Not nuts - more Tmo/HTC weirdness
Here you go
***edit 6-23-11
There are mixed reports of Voice Dialer fc'ing when trying to call. The current Voice Search will actually directly dial for me now so I'd go with that or Vlingo seems to be popular if VDialer isn't working.

Excellent, thanks. I copied the one from my Vibrant and it would not install. I thought maybe it was not compatible. Yours is, thanks again.

Thanks Gorilla, this worked for my car home
Edit: follow up, seems to force-close when actually trying to dial?

See Voice Dialer works for me but I can't get the Voice search to actually call any of my contacts, it just searches for numbers on google
I have an app called vlingo that has voice controlled everything. Don't remember if it's t-mobile specific though

I'm getting the same FC on the Voice Dialer app. Vlingo actually seems to work very well. What will change when we're rooted, what will make it work then, why does it not, now?

There was an update to Voice Search a day ago maybe that changed something because Dialer was working for me. The first time I used Voice Search it tried to search google but after making sure my pronunciations were better it worked the same as Voice Dialer was - note that the way Voice Dialer was working was not the same as on my N1 - no calls are getting initiated. Every time it prompts me to do what it thinks I said. I'm not sure if that's cuz it's broken or because it has learned what to expect yet.
Weirdness - just tried VSearch and it direct dials and everything - no need for voice dialer.

When we're rooted (bootloader unlocked) there is a chance that whatever dependency failure is occurring can be resolved in a modded htc s4g stock rom or we can just load up cm7 or hopefully a stock release (my preference).

New question the about Voice Search. Will it look up phone contacts? I don't save my contacts to Google, just sync with Outlook on my phone.

is there a app that I can use to make the phone hear commands through my Jawbone headset?
I just want to be able to call someone while driving by pressing the voice command button on my headset...
everything else works but the voice command... I can redial with a couple button presses of the headset, answer and hangup calls, ect.
the apk posted works but not through the headset. it hears you from the phone's microphone... not very functional when driving.
plus Google's version that's included in the phone has better speech recognition.
why didn't HTC include this function?
It isn't working as well as I thought it would. After I speak, it pops up a menu and asks me who I want to call. Isn't the idea not to use the phone while driving? No idea why it is not recognizing the speech.

Anyone else not receiving their text messages through google voice. It was working fine for me when I had my desire. For some reason I never get the texts pushed to me. I have to open the google voice app to check if I have any texts. Thanks in advance.

My next suggestion would be to uninstall the app, and reinstall then. There's really nothing else you can do.
I tried that too. Tried resetting the phone and...I've tried 3 different sensations they all had the same issue. Only work around I found was if I added that gmail account and sync it and then forward the google voice texts to that gmail account. Btw thanks for ur suggestions. I googled the issue found one other person with the issue. Maybe it will be fixed with the 2.3.4 update.
It works fine for me. The only problems that arise are when my connection is shoddy it will not tell me about new texts.. otherwise it works great.
Dunno man. I have a T-Mobile Sensation, Google Voice works great stock, after the 2.3.4 OTA update, and on CM7.
Finally got it to work. It took a few tries of logging out and logging back in. Thanks for all the help guys.
The S Voice APK was leaked so I decided to download it and try it. There are some downloads that aren't working as they keep giving parse errors so I found one that does work. Some things work and some things don't. I am trying to set up a custom wake up command but I'm guessing either due to some proprietary technology limited to Samsung or just because the APK wasn't meant for our phone, it is giving me a "Unfortunately, S Voice has stopped." error.
Hopefully this can be changed to work with our HOXs better. It does seem to be able to answer my questions so I'm guessing it is able to connect to Samsung's servers. Asked where I was currently located and it brought up a map and I asked about the weather and it brought up a weather forcast even though I uninstalled HTC's weather apps. So there's hope I guess.

Seems to have issues with wifi. If I have it turned on and go into the app, it only lets me do one command. Then I can press on the button but nothing happens. When I have wifi off, it works basically fine; albeit the voice is a little slow. Interestingly, I can turn it off before going in then have S Voice activate my wifi and as long as I don't leave the app, it works fine. As soon as I get out and go back in it stops working properly.
Eh not the greatest but better than what the hox has.

Completely useless.
In order to use it you have to click on the icon.
The whole point for something like this and siri to work is
no interaction with the touch screen.
Siri- raise to speak
S-Voice " Hi galaxy"

you can set it up to listen for the "hi galaxy" command, or another command of your choosing, it will use more battery, so it's not on by default.
for me though, it crashes every time it tries to complete my query.
Couldn'tget it to work either... Was hoping to try it out.

Try turning off the wifi and see if it still does it.
Does it connect for anyone. I just get network error

Wont work on my phone. I am using the clean rom. When i try to talk it says network issue, then when i try to change the voice prompt from hi galaxy, it force closes.
Was excited by the possiblities...as an iPhone 4s convert...but get nothing but network errors. Guessing that Sammy turned this off.

Yup. Ditto. I don't get anything but network errors or "I don't understand your request" if I push the mic button to talk and not say anything.

It works off and on. I had times it worked well with little lag, but also had periods where it would just kick off a network error or would FC. After clearing cache and waiting it would randomly start working again. It really isn't anything special though. It seems like it is just a skinned version of Vlingo. It also looks like it works alot kinda like Siri by using Wolfram Alpha.
Vlingo looks like they are beta testing a newer version of Vlingo assistant that has a wake up command option like S Voice. It only has a few options currently though

Try turning off wifi, going into apps and clearing out the data for S Voice. Then go into the program and set it up again.

i'll try that.
pretty sure the network errors (not force closes) are due to samsung not having the servers ready for public use, and as such are turning them on and off on their end.
on a slightly related topic, samsung really phoned it in on the UI for this app, they basically ripped off apple's setup, if they were having issues with apple legally before, this app and design is not going to help.
i wish samsung would hire some competent and creative developers for their products.
Works fine for me once I uninstalled the stock voice app.

Downloaded and tried this app out, works flawlessly. When they add more features it will surpass siri and s voice.

This is the voice to go app for the galaxy note. It works awesome on my phone. It will text, nav, call, open apps, create and edit calendar events, and more. The only bug I get is when I hang up a phone call that was initiated using voice to go it will pop up a window saying that the app quot working.
It doesn't have every feature but it has a bunch and they work pretty reliably.

Any ideas why? I'm on jelly bean. It will tell me the lefts and rights, but no street names. I've toggled between the Samsung and Google TTS things and no fix.
It works fine on my nexus 7. It works fine on my girlfriends iPhone and that just pisses me off lol
any ideas? Uninstalled updates and still no go. I use nav every day and the streets names are very helpful to avoid looking at the phone.
anybody??

I am having the same issue. There seems to be a little bit of people reporting it online, but haven't found a solution yet. It seems like it is an issue with Google's TTS engine. Hopefully there is a maps update soon that resolves this.

Few things I have tried, and their results:
1. Cleared Search cache -> Uninstalled Search updates -> Restarted phone
-No change except no longer have Google Now
2. Updated Search back again
3. Cleared Maps cache -> Uninstalled Maps updates -> Restarted phone
-Maps speaks street names, but with the old scary robot voice
4. Updated Maps back again
-Maps stops speaking street names, but keeps scary robot lady voice.
5. Cleared Maps cache again -> restarted phone again
-Maps speaks street names again, but the scary robot lady voice still won't go away.
Clear Maps data and it will resolve the problem. I've noticed this happens every time I fix permissions in Recovery.

Just tried this, and I still have the scary robot voice person. It looks like I have kept street names in the voice navigation though, at least.

I tried everything above and still no go. I have flashed a lot of roms and even though I was back to stock JB, still had the issue. So, I backed up and ODIN'ed back to stock ICS, OTA'ed to JB, and now its working again. Who knows what file was screwed up. Then I unlocked bootloader and rooted, still working.

When I select the Text-to-speech output I only have Samsung TTS as an option?
I found that by formatting, going back to stock, and clean flashing CM10.1 that everything is resolved.
Hi

I followed a tread about this issue last year which never got resolved; apparently a lot of folks are having this problem, still.
I too have tried several wake-up commands but, like you, not of them worked. Like you, I can give commands as long as I touch the mic icon.
Did you ever get an answer to this question?

Sadly not no. Google Voice works perfect tho.
If you turn off google voice activation it will work. That's how I fixed it on mine anyway. Edit. Just checked and turning off google voice activation still makes s voices come back on.
