thanks KenKiller for the reply,
I have searched the free app market for such a software but could not find, do you know if it is available as a paid app?
ahhh I missss that auto-vibrate so much !!!!!
I loved it on my magic. no need to hold the phone on our ears until they pick up
i tried to search for it, but in the end found many more threads where people asked for this function to be removed from many other phones.
Guess it's hard to please the whole world.
Place the phone.apk from this thread onto your SD card and use APKInstaller to install it. It should overwrite your stock phone.apk and will provide you the feature set you desire.
However, I don't know if this has been attempted on a SGS before - so be ready to restore your stock ROM if it doesn't work...

Waiting for a brave soul to try this.
I'm pretty sure the Phone app that comes with SGS is quite unique. After installing launcherpro the default phone button wouldn't even work until I replaced it.

Thanks for your help, I will do it once i get my SGS
Is there any news about this issue ?
uhhhh, sounds fun, let me book mark this and try it when i have spare time to mess around with my phone
For some reason the setting for this is in Settings > Sound and Display, Vibrate for Incoming Calls which is by default unticked. I thought I saw another somewhere else, going to poke around a bit more.
Edit: Damn, can't find it. I swear I saw options for vibrating at the start and/or end and or during calls, maybe I'm getting confused with my Magic though?
I really miss that feature from my old phone. The nearest app I can find is this http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-cn-cwd-callvibrate-BApt.aspx

Did they fix the isues with the stock music player? (problems with large music databases, no .m3u support)
I heard that if you are rooted you can still get OTA updates because you don't change the firmware. Is this true? Because I would like an OTA update to fix my GPS. and i'm simply rooted for wifi tethering.
I noticed everything in the first post plus.
1. Photo Viewer/Gallery shows newest photos first. The way it should have been!
GPS does appear to be fixed. Using GPS Test from the Market I was NEVER able to get more than 2 satellites in use (even though it would see 10 to 12). Right after I updated, I went outside and within 10 seconds GPS Test said it was using 9 out of 10!!!!
Used MyTracks to track me and walked around the campus...it wasn't a perfect track but it was WAY better than before. This was just a short test, but based on what GPS Test is telling me I have to think that it is indeed fixed.
That was my experience. I was rooted via the OCLF app without the lag fix installed. The update installed fine and when it was all done I was still root.

Anyone actually use the Genius button on a regular basis ?
Anyone else find it to be a stupid useless waste of space like I do ?
Discuss/your thoughts on it.
we have a Genius Button??? i havent even touch it once! USELESS for me, would love to find a way to remove the function and put something else that is usefull.
There is a thread in the dev section IIRC on how to remap it. I've tried it a few times, but it does not seem entirely useful or time saving.
I used it in the car when running stock. At the moment I'm using cm7 and it's mapped to Google Voice Search, which is similar in capability.
HTC Glacier running CM7 #28
Never used it while I was stock. In CM I have it remaped.

If you are having a problem with it verifying your contact list often try this:
When it activates and asks you to speak push the menu button. It will pull up the Settings and from there you can turn off the contact verification by going into Phonebook Updates and selecting manual. Or make some other adjustments to help speed it up a little.
I tried it and it worked well, but it takes 20 seconds for it to startup initially, and isn't very fast even after that.
So I remapped the keys so a press gives me search and a press-hold gives me voice search instead of the Genius Button app. Now I use it and find it useful. I'm tempted to see if I can turn it into a dialer button so I can always get to the phone app, since this is a phone....
using it to activate google voice search is better for me.

Dude, what are you talking about? It dont take more than one second to open. I press the button and it opens just as fast as google voice search would. You need to go into Settings/Phonebook Updates and set it to manual. Then it wont try to update your contacts every few times you use it.

When we mentioned it taking forever to open, we weren't talking about the contact list updates. Mine has been on manual since I bought the phone. The app opens right away, but it doesn't actually start listening for commands, for at least 30 seconds, if not sometimes more. It isn't scanning or doing anything else you can turn off, it's just VERY laggy to start listening.

Hmmm...wierd, I dont have that problem at all. It starts listening as soon as I hit the button and the app opens. I even just tested it again and timed it with my stop watch.. From the time I longpress my button and it vibrates to open Genius it took 3.7 seconds for it to open and say "listening", me say "open rom manager" and it repeated it back to me and opened it. That is total time from the button press to when Rom Manager was actually open.
I am not sure what rom you guys are running or if you are rooted or not but if it is taking 5, 10, or 20 seconds for it to accept a command from you, then u got something going on. I am on CM7.
I am not here to argue with anyone over the opinion of a app. To each his own. But what I dont like to see is someone calling a app a useless waste of space, when it isn't. It is just like any other app, some people use and like it and some dont.

Mine took:
20 seconds the first time, 4 seconds the second time (I found the shorter time didn't last all that long in actual use). Yes, I had it on the default setting of updating contacts automatically. I don't see why I should have to change a default and give up the functionality for it to work. Still, I changed the setting, since I don't care about it, and rebooted my phone. 2 seconds to prompt me. I tried to open "Timer" and it kept opening "Camera" but that's a different topic. Nice to know it can be reasonably fast (thank you for the tip!), but the Google voice search is faster still and lets me call all contacts, even new ones.

No, *I* don't have something going on, the phone does. It did this from stock, it did this on several phones (I kept trying til I got a good screen), it does this rooted.
If the automatic update of contacts is so tough for it, it was a poorly chosen default, but it hardly constitutes my having something going on.

You are getting way too worked up over this. He didn't say it is a "useless waste of space", he asked if anyone else found it to be a "useless waste of space like I do", which is quite different. Even so, it would clearly be his opinion.
I generally find the Genius Button app to be accurate, not withstanding the above, but the Google voice search does nearly as much and works out of the box. It isn't worth my time to re-edit the keys to bring the app back.
Please note, I said "my time", not "your time" or "everyone's time"
Anyone, I don't suppose there is a way to make the physical "genius" button a general 'Find' like it is on my wife's Droid X?
Google voice search seems too be more intuitive, less intrusive, and launches much faster in my opinion. I've remapped genius button to launch google voice search.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
hey excarnate,
1st...thanks for correcting my spelling
2nd...dont assume that I am worked up over something so trivial as if you or anyone else likes, wants to use or doesn't want to use a app. I could really care less and was only trying to let people know there are settings that can be adjusted to make it faster.
3rd...While I think that Google voice search works great I don't think it has all of the capabilities that Genius does but Genius has all of the ones that Voice search does. So to compare the two is a little harder than just saying that Google voice search is better because it is faster. Genius wins hands down when it comes to the amount of things it does in comparison to Google Voice search. Try telling Google voice search to "turn on wifi", "Open Settings", "turn of GPS"
4th...I am not sure what the "find" feature is on the droid phone but since you have taken the time to remap your genius button you can use the app called Button Shortcut (free in market) or Launchkey (free on xda) to open any other app with the long press of Genius/Search button.
Not sure why you decided to try and pick apart my post, but its all good.

Originally I used Button Shortcut to launch the Genius Button app, but after rooting my current phone (with a good screen!) I gave up on Genius Button. If I knew I could have turned off one of the defaults to make it perform acceptably, I would have made it the long press default. Maybe I still will, if I remap the button for any other reason.
Find, is simply find within the current app. If I'm in contacts, the find button lets you find something in contacts. If I'm in a webpage, I believe it lets one search in the webpage (I don't use her phone much so I'm not sure about this).
[mini rant about the contacts app on the MT4G deleted]
So my new take on the Genius Button is: it is worthless out-of-the-box. If your contacts are stable, disable automatic updates and only remap the long press (if desired). If your contacts aren't stable and are important, dump it for the Google search & voice search.
[New information: Even with manual updates of contacts it is very slow to start when on hands free (hands free mode or not). I plan to freeze it in Titanium Pro.]
Greetings one and all! After much toiling and lurking on XDA (as well as some experimentation on my end) I have finally got my Bluetooth enabled voice dialer working flawlessly! I can now initiate all sorts of voice commands directly from my headset without needing to touch the Tab at all.
I shall now explain how.
Download and ADB Push/RootExplorer/Etc the attached VoiceDialer.apk to /system/app.
This one is different from the other APKs I've found posted on xda. I ripped it straight from my N1. It doesn't mute your headset when you long-press call and talks with a robotic voice instead of a flat beep.
Secondly (and what I believe to be *the* major detail) is an alternate lockscreen is required. The Tab wasn't really built for BT voice dialing (unlike the N1), so the stock lockscreen isn't programmed to wake and unlock when Long-press Call is initiated. In my case I used WidgetLocker because it is pure awesome. Worth every penny.
And finally I do have Google's Car Home Core & Launcher installed. While I question the direct correlation, I do know they do work closely together and frankly it doesn't hurt.
Feel free to install, mix & match as you please. Perhaps you don't need a 3rd party lockscreen with this particular iteration of VoiceDialer.apk. I haven't bothered to find out.
Also don't confuse this version of VoiceDialer with others posted around XDA. It is 72.8 KB where the others I've found are 40kb and 80kb respectively.
Best of luck and enjoy your new found headset freedom!
Nice finding, I'll give it a try. However, your VoiceDialer APK is not signed. I've already created a signed version, so if you don't mind, you will find it attached.
Anyone try this out yet?
Sounds great... Will try tomorrow.

Ahh, thanks for supplying that. To be perfectly honest I have no idea whatsoever what the difference between a signed and unsigned APK are. I just used what I knew worked for me.

You're welcome. An unsigned apk cannot be installed directly through adb. You will receive an error complaining about a certificate.
BTW: There is a newer version (2.2.1.4) of the Google Car Home App floating around here. Google made available a customizable version for Nexus One and Motorola Droid. However this version runs perfectly nice on my tab.

vlingo works from samsung apps, but you still need to do the lock screen thing, as otherwise you need to unlock every time you want to use a voice command, which is a bit of a pain.. don't understand why samsung wouldn't have implemented this!
Thanks for the tip. Vlingo works. I heard it drains battery though, is that the case for you?
I am trying out widget locker for locking the screen as suggested by the OP. Defeats the purpose of voicedial if I have to take it out to turn it on every time I want to call, I might as well dial it on the tab.
Edit: After a few hours of playing with widget locker, I still can't get bluetooth voice command going when the tab's screen is off...

When you receive a call, it shows a reject message menu, that if you choose one message, it reject the call and send the message immediatelly.
And in call settings you can define those messages.

Any software for android that can access tweaks?
I did found couple more tweaks!
First one goes for the camera and enabling HDR mode: ro.config.hw.camera.hdr=false ,change that to true and you will find new option in camera settings.
Another two are not working for me but someone with more knowledge could maybe find what I am missing and make it work. First one is for .FLAC support in stock music player: ro.config.ape_flac_enable=false, change that to true and player will try to play FLAC files but does not work-before that it would not even try to play it.
Second one is for IP calls: ro.config.hw_support_ipcall=false
ro.config.ipcall=false
Make that both true and you will find new option in caller. If someone find out something else or how to make to work the two I found pleas let us know.thank you.
