Hi I have a unique issue I am trying to fix, I was wondering if someone with the know how can help me out. Here is my problem, when I update to the new 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 the google search also updates to the newer version. I dont have text messaging on my plan and used google voice to send the messages. When I would say OK Google text "blank" subject "blank" I could set it to use google voice as the default, so it would send using google voice. Now when I update to 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 google search updates as well, now when I say "ok google" text "blank" subject " blank" it only tries to send the text through my mobile number, and i get a reply text form tmobile telling me texting is blocked, because I blocked it, because I am cheap. This same thing happened when I was on 4.4 and I updated "google search" through play store, my solution before was just uninstalling the updates, but on 4.4.1 or 4.4.2 google search is defaulted to the newer version that doesnt work with google voice. I tried deleteing patch/system/app/Googlehome.apk.p from the 4.4.1 update file and then sideloading the update, but that didnt work. Just wondering if anyone can help me out .Thanks in advance for your time.

Im not sure I correctly conveyed my problem to you, my apologizes
anyways i did fix my problem, I also took out velvet.apk.p from priv-app of the update zip, that stopped google search from upgrading, all works great now, Thanks to anyone who took the time to read my plea for help.

Can anyone out there make a google voice app so you can call through your google voice number or the actual phone number. I had a android phone and that was the best app available? Any GV users out there?
there is one already called iDialer, gooogle is your friend
thanks
yes google is my friend
invite
do i need an invite or can someone post a link
hmmm
the idialer doesn't quite work how i thought. need something closer to the google android app. anyone out there have any answers?
There is also another program that works along with iDialer called iContacts. Though I don't really remember what the android version is like. I guess it's time to boot XAndriod again on the Fuze to see what it looks like.

This is not a google made program either. The program is made by a person on this board I believe. No you do not need an invite to get it try searching got it and you'll find it. If you have a google account just follow the instructions and set it up.
GV Dialer
Any luck on a google voice app
Browser version is available...
I've used Google Voice through the web browser. It's not "pretty" but it works.
Posting here for anyone who camps Roe's threads (like me) lol
(pre cursor- uninstall google voice first, I didn't have it installed but some people did)
Steps I took
on my evo fully installed voice (switched roms recently didn't have it installed)
used Titanium to back up the app
Copied the 3 files to my titanium folder on the g tab
Restored the app
Lauched google voice. Got to where it said configure inbox then went back back back back to exit
inbox popped right up.
YMMV
Thanks for the confirmation!!! Looks like I finally have a serious reason to root my N1, I feel so behind the times.
Are you saying that should I do this, I'd be able to text from my GTab?
If so, please elaborate. I've never used Google Voice, but will if I can text from my tab. That'd be crazy awesome.
(Got a HTC Hero CDMA, rooted, stock ROM. GTab is running TnT 2.2, if any of that matters.)
Google Voice update
After yesterdays (12/8/10) update to GV. The entire app almost works now on the G-Tab. You can even "skip" the voicemail setup and get it working about 90%...just no VOIP calling yet
Ok. I'll download that from the market. Do I sign up online with my existing cell number?
How did you skip the VM setup... I couldn't skip this after the update...
thx
***nevermind --- I re-read the 1st post... :]
Works just as described. Texting works like a charm. Thanks.
No real work is required to get this up and running. Just install Google Voice via the marketplace and run it. I already had a Google Voice account, and when prompted I just told the setup program that the G-Tablet was my home phone or something. No problem texting or listening to voice mail.
Does anybody have voice calling on the G-Tab through SIP?

Awesome, thanks for the tip. I got it working too!
damn, i love this thing.
thnk there'll be post christmas sales or should i grab another now.
and thanks OP!
Some reason I can receive txt, but can't send from the tablet. Any suggestions?
i search "google voice" in market, but couldn't find application. anybody experience the same?
Moved to general
Ive searched for days on this particular issue and its driving me insane. I AM NOT missing the option in "voice search" settings to turn on "personalize speech recognition" as many have posted about.
I AM able to turn on "personalize speech recognition" via the settings in voice search, but on my google dashboard the speech section is missing and I see no evidence that google speech recognition accuracy is improving in any way. Ive tried clearing the app data and enabling search history without success.
I have only 1 gmail account linked to this phone and everything pertaining to that account (calendars, app store, etc.,) is updating correctly.
Im running ICS stock rom on a rooted HTC vivid with ATT service. I have voice search 3.0.1. The app store only has version 2.1.4. Id gladly uninstall 3.0.1 and install 2.1.4 from the app store if it would fix this problem but im worried uninstalling voice search could cause additional problems. Any help would be hugely appreciated.
thanks
anyone?
im sorry, but i would really like to solve this problem. Is there anywhere to get google or android support?
You are in the wrong section mate. Try Q&A. Best of luck.
It was recently announced that Voice+ was going to be integrated into Cyanogenmod 10.1, which would allow you to send Google Voice texts with the default system SMS app. (Link to the article.)
I'm really curious to try this because the Google Voice app has felt really buggy to me lately. I've tried searching for ROMs that have this feature, but haven't been able to find it.
Has anyone here been able to use Voice+ or any other similar service for Google Voice? If so, how can I install it? How has your experience been?
I think I've figured it out. Voice+ wasn't appearing until I installed the official Google Voice app. Please disregard.
I installed the nightly for cm11 from today hoping that I would have the dialer search feature that allows you to look up business phone numbers. The default dialer that comes with cm11 didn't seem to have this feature. When I did a google search I found out that you have to install a seperate dialer app with this capability. After installing the zip, the text box in the dialer said I could search for contacts or locations, but every attempt to search for a business didn't work. It only gave me contact results. Has anyone else had this issue?
