My Fonix VoiceDial keeps bringing up the Settings for Voices and Parameters instead of just going straight to voice dial.
I have to press ok before i can speak to dial a number right pain in the ass.
Can't find why it is doing this any ideas?
I think it's because you haven't selected a reading voice. You must select one of these so it can read back the contact details.
It seems very smart at recognising contacts - but not so good at determining a YES from a NO!
Hi all!
I've a Touch Cruise. When in phone I used to continue press number 1 and it dials to my voicemail service.
But one day this didn't work anymore. I continue press 1 and nothing, but it works with direct dials 2 to 9... any clues?
I've seted the voicemail number...
Best,
Juan
Go into the phone application -
choose menu/options...
select services tab at the bottom
select Voice Mail and Text Messages and press the Get Settings button
make sure the Voice Mail: box has the correct number for your network's voice mail access.
thanks gadgetgaz,
I've already done it, and also deleted the number and re entered it, but it still do not work... any other clue?
best,
Juan
AT&Ts website says that it supports voice dialing. The Samsung Galaxy S website says that there should be a Voice Command app. Where is it? I don't see it anywhere! I paried up my bluetooth headset and when I push the button (which on my last phone would activate Voice Dial) nothing happens.
Anyone??
Voice dialing via bluetooth on Android 2.1 doesn't work.
Android 2.2 fixes it (Nexus One FTW!), who knows when Captivate will get the update.
Tap and hold the Search button to activate voice search.
There should be an app called Voice Dialing. Use that to voice dial.

I beg to differ, I just figured this out. You can say "call -contact name-" and it dials the number.

Don't know what magic you're doing, but when I do that it just does a google search for "call [contact name]"
My Captivate does the same thing, I have tried to voice dial and all it does is google search. Everyone keeps saying there is an app but there isn't. It is pissing me off, I downloaded apps and none of them work. This really really bites.
I will be watching this thread anxiously.
But I may be making progress! I have purchased VLingo, and it looks like it may end up working like Microsoft Voice Command.
I just did a "Call <First/Last Name> on Mobile, and it dialed".
I'll post back as I progress. This is exactly what I"m looking for.

I'm not sure either then. I simply hold the search button at the bottom-right of the phone, it prompts for voice, then i simply say "call XXXXXXX" and it dials. I do have to say the entire contact name, though, both first and last name, exactly how it appears in the list. But it works
I just tried it and it worked for me too. FAST.
What is missing is a validation step, like MS Voice command offers. It will never understand you correctly all the time.
No Voice Dial for Me Too!
I don't seem to have the ability to voice dial either.
Speaking a contact's name into the Google utility only pulls up a Google search.
I would be interested to know if the people that are having similar problems have their phones rooted or not.
I am rooted.
I am rooted, as of this morning, and it was just an hour or so when I realized I could do it with Google search and didn't need Vlingo

I could do it before I was rooted
When I use voice dial I have to say contact name and either mobile or home or work to get it to work right.
How is Voice Dial Activated?
How, exactly, are successful users activating Voice Dial?
Is it just by pressing the microphone button on the Google search bar on the home screen? Or is there supposed to be a dedicated "Voice Dial" app?
Also, where are the settings located to configure voice dial?
I was able to get it work. I use the google search widget and click the microphone then speak. BUT, it only finds contacts that are from Google. If I try to call any of my Exchange contacts it does a google lookup, but if it is a contact from google sync (gmail/voice) it works fine.
I can't get mine to work. Been trying it for the past two days.
The google search voice command isn't voice dialing for me. I have no idea what is going on. HELP ME lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I can't wait for a custom ROM to fix all the problems including this.
We've Been Scammed!!!
AT&T has scammed us!
I chatted online today with ATT support and the person said that I would have to pay monthly for their voice dial service. After telling her, politely, where to stick her voice dial service, she suggested that I contact Samsung.
After 45 mins, and two support people later, it was finally explained to me that the Captivate is the only version of the Galaxy S that does NOT come equipped with the Voice Command software and that I would have to purchase a third party app from the Market in order to get that capability.
So what it looks like to me is that ATT had the voice command function removed on the Captivate so they could push their own voice dial plan for $4.99 per month.
BASTERDS!!!
I can't wait for the ROMs to start rolling out so I can exact my revenge!

you have to say the full name thats in the address book for it to immediately dial as well. if you dont it shows the "did you mean" box and you can choose from there.
I installed Vlingo from Marketplace. Works like a charm. The programs from Marketplace are all pretty cheap compared to WindowsMobile.
My voice dial works. however I have to enunciate very clearly and quickly.
"call Contact Name" brings me to the Contact's page to select which number to dial.
"call Contact Name mobile" dials immediately.
There is even a confirmation feature for my phone where it gives a pop up with my Contact's picture with a ring slowly rotating around it with an option to "dial" or "cancel" doing nothing until the ring completes it's 360 degree rotation will default to dialing, pressing dial will dial immediately, and cancel will cancel the command.
My firmware version is 2.1-update1

my dads stock nexus s 4g will not voice dial (or text) any of his contacts, it only does local results. with every android phone ive had i can hit the mic in the google search bar, say "call john doe" and my phone will call it, or i say "send text to john doe what time is dinner" and it will have john doe in the to field and "what time is dinner" in the message field. on his phone i say "call john doe" and it finds a local result for john doe and calls them, or it does a google search for "call john doe." if i say "send text to john doe what time is dinner" the to field will be blank, and the message will say "to john doe what time is dinner." if i use the crappy voice dialer instead of voice actions it will call the contact. i cant for the life of me figure out why this wont work on his nexus, someone help!
Open the Google Search app, hit menu and settings then adjust the searchable terms to include contacts. Hopefully should work.
I have GV installed on my N5. If I don't answer the call or decline it it sends people to my Tmobile VM instead of my GV VM. If I tell my phone to Forward unanswered calls to my GV number and I decline a call. The other persons phone rings until it puts them to GV, but on my side I have declined the call, then there is silence, then 1 second ring and then the call ends.
How can I get rid of the phone giving me a 2nd quick ring before shooting the person to GV VM?

Hello,
This is my first post so I hope it helps with the first part of your problem you are having with Google Voice.
Follow these steps to have your mobile phone use Google Voice for voicemail instead of your carrier's voicemail. You can always go back to using your carrier's voicemail later if you want, by entering another code.
Enter the following exactly as written, as if you are dialing someone:
**004* "Your Google Voice Number" #
Press "Send" or "Call" on your phone to dial that number. When you see the confirmation message on your phone, you are done!
