Is there a way to open voice search directly without saying OK Google? Use to be able to, but now any shortcut seems to go to an inactive Google screen.

Is there anyway to just have google nav running without having to type addresses? It should just follow you around and show you where you are and where you are going etc.
I don't always want to type a destination address.
there is a live wallpaper that is google maps that follows you
If u just open the maps app it Should just go to ur location until u ask for a search or something

I believe he's talking about having the Google Navigation screen (like if your using the turn-by-turn directions) up and running without a destination. No, that's not possible
i set my dad up with a nexus s 4g the other week. he already had an evo shift and used gv as his vm provider, but when i went to set it up on his ns4g it did not give me any options to keep his number. normally when i set it up the first screen asks me if i want to integrate my gv and sprint numbers, but gives me the option to skip it. the ns4g didnt, and after i set it up i even went in and disassociated the numbers via the web interface to make sure i didnt miss it but when i went to set up the app again it forced the integration.
i searched but didnt find anything, is this normal? im planning to get the galaxy nexus but keeping my gv and regular numbers separate is a must so this would be a deal breaker. thanks!
nobody user google voice with their ns4g?

You going to have to go to www.google.com/voice. Log in and disable integration
I was looking for this online and couldn't find anything.
Basically I want to be able to make phone calls via Samsung Galaxy S 4G using an extension within Chrome.
i.e, I want to click on an extension (within Chrome), dial numbers on my computer keypad and have my phone call it.
And I want to be able to see my contact list AS WELL AS have the ability to dial numbers.
Is this possible???
Thanks!
Theres one for your body called your arm. It also has a hand that you can pick up your phone and dial/view contacts with.
For google chrome probably not.
Google Voice yes. Not sure if its exactly what ya want but it works.

Sounds like you'd benefit from using Google Voice
https://www.google.com/voice
Log into the google voice page, pick the contact you want to call and select call, it'll ask you which phone you'd like to connect with and you can use your sgs4g or even gtalk if you want to do it directly from your computer (you need a mic).

i tried that but it doesn't work.. if i click on the contact list, the only thing i can do is check the box associate with the contact.. nothing more..i then tried to sign up for google voice and I had to port my number to it. I tried the lite version but i'd rather have my voicemail goto my carrier (Tmobile) than to google..
Just kidding man ill look at google voice after class and see what i can find.

I'm trying to find a way to dial without unlocking my phone. Any ideas?

Standard google voice dial and voice search support that.
Somehow google doesn't offer voice dial on google market anymore, and it's also missing from the Samsung ROM, but if you find the apk here on this forum, install both and it works beautifully.
I love google now, but when I use it for an ordinary google search, I cannot open the links in tabs but have to view the link on the same page, diverting me from the google search results. I've also tried opening the results in my default browser but I can't figure out how to do that either.
Is there a way to get google now to allow tabs, or to share the search query with the default browser?
I stopped using Google now for regular google searches, unless of course I'm using voice (which I rarely do).
I find it annoying that the search results in Google now pop up so slowly, and the fact that when you press on a search result, it has to open it up in the default browser. If Google now was more integrated with the default browser I would use it more often.
Now, I normally just open the browser and type my google search in the address bar.

I quit using it for normal searches too, but I have the search widget on my homescreen and I prefer using that to launching the browser.
This frustrates me too.

Curious if anyone has found any kind of workaroinds method to get the "open in new tab" behavior?
I would have thought that by now Google would have corrected this. Silly me. .... They can't even provide "append voice note" in google Keep. I think their entire UX group for voice functions should be pink-slipped.
