What happened to the voice dialing on my I4G? I just acquired it and was surprised to learn there is apparently no voice dialing (Gingerbread 2.3.5). Puzzling, since my HTC Status with Gingerbread 2.3.3 had the feature and it worked quite well. This seems like a basic requirement with use of a hands free device.
The redial also seems goofy as it redials the last call - whether it was outcoing or incoming, which causes problems if the last call was from a number with a blocked caller ID. Likewise, the redial feature is a basic feature for handsfree use and worked flawlessly on my Status.
Is this HTC's idea of progress? Are ther any viable workarounds?
BTW, I've tried two custom ROMS without complete satisfaction. The Gingerbread ROM had the same problem, the Jelly Bean ROM correctly redialed, but did not do voice dialing.

Any help out there?

Anyone else having issues ?
I setup Google Voice as normal, and I only use if for international numbers.
When I try and make a call, GV starts, but then Sprint kicks in and tells me I cannot make calls to this number ?
Weirdly, it's not happening in Gumbo 1.5c which was my daily use ROM.
I am trying this on RegawMOD 2.0
I haven't heard of a good solution yet.
Does anyone know if GV works properly on the N1 and the Droid? Those two phones are "officially" running 2.1 now.
Wondering if it's a problem with 2.1 across the board, or if the problem only occurs on custom roms.....
For now what I've been doing if I really need a call to go out via google voice is just initiating the call through the web page. Not the best workaround, but it gets the job done.
The only "work-around" is that I can make calls through the web (use the browser), but I can't receive calls. I do receive pushed sms.
Install GV 2.0 (search forfor link), works like a charm on every 2.x I've used.
yupp.only version working is .2.thats what im using
In Damage's new thread (based on new Sprint Leak) there is a post that says this:

Works for me on DC2r2 although I was getting the same message at first. I had never used it before so I thought I just could dial the number straight out like a regular call but it doesn't work that way. You gotta call your GV number first then there is an option to make an international call. Press that option and enter the number and you should be good.
I have my phone set for GV to make my international calls only though. Don't know if setting it for all calls would allow me to dial the international number directly and not have to call my GV number.
I have a new HTC Inspire 4G / 2.2. Used a heavily-ROMed Tilt2 before, so new to Android. I find the built-in voice dialer to be a problem. Sometimes it's perfect, but other times it proposes bizar responses. That would be OK, but it does not respond to "no" and dials it anyway. So, can I replace the built-in dialer with a better one? This phone is rooted, S-OFF.
I am not sure if I understand your question.
If you are dialing by mistake you need call confirm app from market. This will solve your problem.
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.nanabit.callconfirm&feature=search_result
There are various dialer available in market like dialer one, go dialer you can give it a try.
Currently I hold down the dial button on my BT headset until the voice prompt comes up asking what I want. I can say a name or dictate a number and the voice confirms the choice. The built-in ATT voice command system does not bail out of I say "No" and some other problems. Sometimes it goes smoothly. So I'm looking for an app or some utility to flash that is a better voice dialing system.
Has anyone had success with voice dialing over Bluetooth? I have the Motorola Finity headset which worked great with the Motorola Atrix but it doesn't seem to work for voice dialing on the Infuse. I had the Captivate before and voice dialing didn't work until some of the later custom ROMs started to implement it, so maybe it's a Samsung thing.
From what I've heard is the same way. No BT voice dial.

it works if you install Cyberon Voice commander
there are market apps that work but many drain battery fast. it is better to have it from the manufacturer
i wish i could tell you how to set it up but i never use it so i never looked into it. many of the sgs apks will work on this so you may not need to wait that long.
voice speed dial app works great.
On Froyo, whether it be stock or Eagle's Blood, my bluetooth voice dialing works as its supposed to... I press the voice dial button, and my phone says "Speak Now", I say the name, and it tells me what name I said + "Dialing".
I can't speak for all Gingerbread builds, but on Paul's leak and CM7, I press the voice dial button, and I dont get any notification at all, nor do I get the confirmation when its dialing a name... I mean, it dials, and it calls out properly... but its annoying since I keep my phone in my pocket, and Im scared that it'll dial a wrong name without any confirmation...
Has anyone else had this experience?
Bump... Would really love some info on this...
Come on, doesn't ANYONE use bluetooth voice dialing with a handsfree device on gingerbread?

I am having the same problem, Did you figure this out?
I had issues with CM7 and bluetooth dialing, so I switched to EB 2.3.3, and haven't had but one issue. I had an app called Cyberon Voice Commander, and that failed to work properly on any GB ROM.
However, ChoiceDialer+ seems to be working just fine w/EB (2.3.3). Downside to CD+, is that you cannot (currently) use voice dialer and A2DP together on our phones...it will freeze up. I have to disable media connection on my phone to properly use CD+. I'm going to test out Vlingo, and see how that works out. Downside to Vlingo is, you have to use data connection.
If you're interested in trying ChoiceDialer, there is a free version available in The Market. Aside from the A2DP issue, it is a great app, and the Dev is very responsive.
How many of you experiencing this too? I literally just switched back to Android specifically to use Google Voice, ported my number back over to Google, bought a Note Edge and upgraded it to 5.1.1 immediately (stupid). Found out GV outgoing calls are broken.
This is a known issue and google says they're working on it (https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/urpXxSfS-kE) but it's definitely irritating.
Yep..same thing here!

I am using GV to make weekly International calls, better to pay $0.07/minute than T-Mobile's $1.25/minute!!!
But since 5.1.1 it's broken....Here is the solution (in the mean while), that I have been using - and it's working again.
Say you want to call the number: 000-123-4567
Say your own GV-number is 111-222-3333
Reprogram the contacts you need to call from GV, with the number in this format:
111-222-3333 , , your-passcode# , 2 , 000-123-4567#
This will dial your own GV number, will prompt you for your passcode followed by #-sign, Option 2 will allow you to make calls, followed by #.
Each ',' is a few seconds delay - I have not tried it without the delays, but it also makes it easier to understand (for us humans).
Ya, no thanks. That's just a huge hassle.
Same problem here Google Voice does not work on the Note 4
I've got the same problem with the Note 4 (not the Edge version). I'm thinking this is an Android 5.1.1. problem. I never had this before I did the upgrade to 5.1.1.
What I see happening is this:
- You dial to make the call.
- I have Google Voice set up to ask me each time
- While the prompt for Google Voice is on top of the dialer, I see the dialer is already making the call.
So the dialer is not waiting for GV before making the call.
I'm trying to find out how I can go back to the previous version of Android, but so far it looks like I'm not able to do this.
I have a t-mobile Note 4. Hopefully t-mobile will release their 6.x version and that will fix this issue.
