All,
I am wondering if other google voice app users are experience the same issues I am seeing. I have reported a bug to Google on how the autocomplete feature in Google Voice will not always work. Link to my post at Google is here:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=275813d2bb452112&hl=en
Do others have this isssue? I wanted to start here within the DINC forum. I was not sure where else to post this. If people are having this issue, could you please confirm it here as well as post it in the google support forum?
Thanks for your help!
i looked at your post, and it seems that it is only reproduceable with the HTC keyboard. I use swype and I didnt have that problem. I noticed a quick work around when using the HTC keyboard- instead of pressing down keyboard after selecting your contact, just press the back softtouch button...works.

Yes, you are correct. You need the stock keyboard.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Update: Google pushed an updated version of the app. Problem is now fixed.

Ok guys i got the voice search working. So when you click search button the mic comes up and you search.
This is how.
Go to settings, applications and click allow third party applications to install.
Link the phone via htc sync to your pc.
Go to this link and download the file and open the rar, click , install onto phone.

(insert http before)
Happy searching
p.s. this is not my own work, just passing on the information
This is the original thread that found the above app:
http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/60120-do-you-have-quick-search-mic.html
The original location of the app:
http://code.google.com/p/voicesearch/
So you can monitor if there is an update.
I have tested this on my HTC Desire and it works fine, no error, no quirks, no FC, just works.
Why on Earth was this removed? Works (so far) flawlessly on my unbranded / unlocked Desire. Cheers.
Fantastic app, of course I searched for various 'rude' words (not the obvious ones that are no doubt blocked) and the first links in each case went to Urban Dictionary
Tried some sensible searches and EVERY single one worked as expected - very impressed, well done Google!
Now why on earth is this not a standard app.....
Am I missing something lol? its been on mine from the start lol

Brilliant, thank you.
Does this change the htc keyboard?
I wasn't aware it was missing? It appears to have been there from the start for me, using the Orange ROM, haven't bothered debranding it yet.
No.
This will not add that mic button in the keyboard.

Mine was there on the Orange branded ROM, but since disappeared after flashing to generic. They must've done this themselves as part of their 'branding' process - something actually worth doing for once! Well done Orange!
oddness: *only* google search
I got a Desire on T-mob today, and I've been playing to add this.
I've got the voice search enabled, and I've added the new keyboard with a mic button on it - all well so far. However, if I do a search, and press the mic I get the "Speak Now" dialogue, and it says "Google Search". So I can do a Google search fine, but I can't for example ring someone in my phone book. I can google them, but that's not quite the same!
Can anyone help?

Which keyboard is this? How can I add it to my T-Mobile Desire?
Try vlingo or Choice Dialler.

my phone's recognising my contacts names when I speak, it's just defaulting to google search for them rather than local search..
phil, could you post what you did to enable voice search, just in case I've done something differently? "call joe bloggs" doesn't do it for me, it just does a google search for the term...!
Sorry i took a while to reply, This is what i did to install the voice search.
1) Go to settings > applications > click allow third party applications to install.
2) Go to >
http://nimbu.amorvi.com/2010/04/add-voice-search-to-htc-phones/
3) Download for the htc desire.
4) Plug your desire into a usb port on your pc.
5) Click htc sync ( Make sure it up and running on your pc too)
6) Open the file you downloaded in step 3.
7) Follow the instructions. Click next once (i think) then it will promt on your phone, press install.
8) Click the search button on your desire (bottom left hard button, little magnifieing glass)
9) A little microphone should appear, click that to voice search.
All done,
Few hints >
Long press the button to go straight to voice search.
To call someone, you have to say > call "persons name"
Saying something normally will google search that.
PM me if you need more help.
As i said, i wasn't the one who made this file or anything, just happened to be
one of the first to get the device and get this working.
Sorry if this is posted in the wrong location, but my Swype no longer auto spaces correctly. Rather than adding a space every word, it has started to add a space every 2 words. I now have to hit the space bar after every word I type. I have reinstalled Swype and it still has not fixed the problem. I have done a search on XDA and the net and still cant find a solution. Any thoughts from you guys?
I have the same problem. It's what made me stop using it. The only way mine would fix (and I know this sounds weird) is to delete all my messages. I moved on and now I'm using Resco Keyboard. Much better than the stock kb.
Yeah I ended up doing a hard reset because I was having so many problems with the phone. Now everything is back to normal. I might check out Resco Keyboard.
Why don't you switch to the latest version of Swype? It's great!
v3.19.20.20.6343
There is a small issue with Auto Spacing not working with HTC Messaging and Twitter. That can easily be fixed here.
Believe me, there is no on-screen keyboard that holds it's own in a contest with Swype. This thing is what got me off Hardware Keyboards.
swype never works for me!!! haha

Hey guys,
Does anyone use Gesture Search from Google? I just found out about this app and I'm lovin' it! but I couldn't figure out how to use the 'Double flip' function in the app. From what I saw, the app's suppose to start when you flip the phone, it's a neat function but apparently I can't get to work on my Rachael anyone got any ideas?
Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD3ZYKIqj7A
sounds interesting, going try that app right now
I can't get the flip to work either...

doesn't work with yours as well huh? maybe i should report a bug to Google
It also didn't work for me, I was going to post my own thread about it
did not work for me as well, updated and tried as soon as i got the market updates notification
Me neither! Tried on all settings, tried left handed, right handed. But nope, no joy.
I use it all the time to dial numbers..
I cant stand the stock dialer app, and the 5 clicks to get to someone.
gesture only takes a few seconds.
Always worked fine for me.

Yea, that's what i love about this app. I can just swipe two letters
and my friend would pop up on my screen and I can just tap the call button.
Lovin' it! But we're talking about the Double Flip function on the new
update for the app (ver 1.2). Does that work for you?
I just posted a thread on the Google Discussion page, hopefully someone
can fix this. Will keep you guys posted

Awesome. I posted a thread on their discussion page as well. Hope it gets fixed
Not sure if this is unique to my phone or not, but a couple of bugs that I've noticed on my Bell Desire Z, and wondering if anyone else noticed these:
1. If you assign one of the 2 keyboard shortcut keys to Google Talk, it tries to load Talk, and then force closes.
2. If you use prediction with the hardware keyboard, the prediction does not work at times. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it doesn't show up.
Wondering if anyone else could confirm these for me?
Thanks!
Yep! The Google talk one is exactly like you said on my UK desire z. Not an issue for me but it indicates something in need of a fix.
The text correction thing I have also noticed. Whenever the corrections aren't appearing,do a long press (bringing up the cursor magnifier) then start typing, this makes it start correcting again. I don't know exactly what causes the problem, I think its something to do with having focus on the box you are typing in. Maybe.

It's good to know that I'm not alone. I have contacted HTC about this, and they don't admit to either issue.
I have stock Note 3 and I've been running into issues with a lag or delay while using Swype in hangouts and other apps. I'm assuming it's an issue with Swype and it causes me to lose whole words. I wish the other Swype-esque keyboards were as good, but even the Google keyboard gets wrong more often than not compared.
The new hangouts has some additional issues for me where nothing I type shows up and the send button doesn't replace the camera location. I usually have to change keyboards to fix it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You are not the only one...
Thought I was going crazy. But yes - definitely a Swype + Hangouts issue afoot.
Not sure if this is the place for help - I'd think hitting the Swype forums is best shot (which is my next port of call - this thread came up top on Google when I searched just now for this issue).
cheers
I have the same problem using Swype in Hangout on my Droid Maxx. I don't have issues with Swype in any other apps.
Swype becomes sluggish and whole words are oddly lost, among other problems.
