I don’t know why, when I use Gboard voice input under LTE connection, screen show "can’t connect to Google" but it’s no problem under Bluetooth connection.
Theory:
Wont there be a conflict here:
Google voice commands.
Meaning when you use Gboard, it may disconnect google voice commands while you do so?
(Whats the name now for voice control when you say 'google, play..'?)
possible bug.
In effect your lte drops connection to online google when using Gboard until your finished, and give connection back to google voice?
They may think your trying voice Gboard to hack lte lol...
I experienced the same issue with Gboard and Voice on my W4 Classic LTE, but I "thought" (maybe wrong) that the issue was caused by the W4 LTE not having Google Assistant installed. Gboard is not the "Default" keyboard and all its mic function might be looking to link to Google Assistant not Samsung Bixby.

After a struggle, I have successfully paired my NS with a Parrot CK3000 Bluetooth car kit. This is great because I can now activate the voice dialer from my steering wheel... however, the voice recognition on the NS voice dialer is less than useless!!!! It does not recognise names very well and you end up calling random people. Trying to "Call Sam", always ends up calling Simon. I have tried changing the voice settings to English UK (preferred), English Generic and US but no joy.
My old WM device had excellent voice dialing, worked spot on every time. At least it asked you first if the selected contact was correct! The google voice dial app just dials straight away!
Is there a better voice dialer app? Preferably one that doesn't involve active data?
Moved to Q&A
Sorry Thought this was an app question
I never use the voice dialer app, but I use the Google Voice Actions to say "call Sam" without problems. I don't know if they use the same voice engine, but you might want to try. I think it's actually called the Voice Search app. Must be US English for proper function.
Actually, might not be a good solution for you, since you have to hit accept key on the phone, so not true hands free.
Ok, this is very weird.
I've been using Google Voice for over 2 years now on Android. I've also had an app called GVmynumber which dials to my Google Voice then dials out a number. They've worked great.
Over the past week, I've been experiencing the following problem:
When the menu comes up asking me to call with google voice or call without google voice, and I choose call with google voice, then the same menu reappears. I click it again and it keeps reappearing. But if I click call without google voice it's fine.
Things I have tried:
1. Reinstalling the apps.
2. Rebooting.
3. Changing the google voice toggle back and forth.
Anyone have any ideas on this?
I upgraded to One S from MyTouch 4G, and noticed the following issues with voice dialing:
1. I used to use the dedicated button on MT4G. On 1S, when I try to use the google search "microphone" button, it has terrible voice recognition. Vlingo works much better than stock functionality.
2. As mentioned in PC mag review, voice dialing via blue tooth is missing. The only workaround is through a third party app. As someone suggested, I installed Vlingo, and using its "in car" method, it seems to work fine.
Are there any other build in google apps/tools that may improve voice recognition/voice dialing?
What other apps do people use for voice control/voice dial?
Thanks.
Bluetooth voice dialing is not working for me either. Pressing the connect button on my BT device does not launch the BT voice recognition like it should.
This was also an issue on the Nexus One for months when it was initially released - I don't know how HTC did not recognize this problem during testing.
I wish I had an answer for you, but I just wanted to say thanks for the Vlingo suggestion, that's what I'm using for now.
You welcome. While I like One S overall, the voice control/recognition options are a step back compared to MyTouch 4G.
Google Now seems much more capable than Google's (not ASOP's, which is not much better than Google's) voice dialer. I use it a lot since my BT Stereo has a dedicated call button that when held down brings it up. Is there any way to bring up google now instead of the voice dialer, without using a 3rd party BT launcher app?
Also, unrelated, the OK Google command stopped working (and the prompt dissappered) for me, about a week ago, and hasn't returned. I'm in the US.
Lastly, is there a working WiFi tether with T-Mobile $30/mo plan?
How can I get Google Now/Search to work offline? I've got Google voice typing to work offline through settings > language & input methods but I'm unable to use it with Google Now. Anyone have any ideas?
ex: I'd like to just say "Open Settings" to be able open the settings app without being online...
I'm struggling with this issue as well. Sometimes when I'm traveling, I'll be in an area with no data connection or WiFi. I can say "OK Google" to activate the voice search...however, any command I give it (i.e. Play 'artist') is met with "Can't reach Google at the moment. You can still use the mic to place calls. Say "Call" and a name or number." I know the offline voice recognition works, because I can turn off my WiFi and data and use the voice input to write text. I have Xposed installed and I tried the "GoogleOfflineVoice" module, but I'm still met with the same message.
Does anyone have any ideas of a work around for this? This is particularly frustrating because I used the Google Search API and Tasker to automate a lot of my phone usage while I'm in the car. However, if I don't have a data connection, it no longer functions.
If you don't have a data connection it's never going to work. It has to go to Google servers where the database is and all the heavy lifting takes place
