​I have had every Galaxy S phone for sprint, and the ONE thing i hate is the voicemail button in the dialer, mainly because i dont use sprint voicemail.
But my question is (I would be willing to help in anyway possible and even donate a few $) .. since the button mearly opens the sprint voicemail apk, could we find a way to make it open another apk? such as google voice, since that is what i use for my voicemails?

is it possible? i have thought about this for years, and no one has been able to help or really guide me on what to do. The button is nothing more than a glorified shortcut that opens a specific app....

Tried to search this.. anyone knows if I can voice dial with Desire? I need it when dial someone while driving through bluetooth. Thanks
I too would love an answer to this if anyone has one. Would be nice if the button on bluetooth handsfree kits started voice dialing as with my TouchHD, but just voice dialing would be a start. I am guessing that the only option would be using the voice search but I tried that and it just looked up whatever name I searched on google
Download and install the car dock (see here).
Amongst other things, it allows you to voice dial.
Regards,
Dave
You don't need the car dock app, if you have voice search installed, just long press the search button and say "call whoever".
Si
is there any non internet dependent voice dialer available
Am I missing something? Long press on search key does not bring up any voice search on my Desire... do I need to install any app?
mine puts call whoever into a Google search???

I havnt gotten my Desire yet, but is it really that easy? Just install that app?
Has someone actually made this work? All my searches go to google. Carl/Kal whatever...
Yep, works fine. DL'd to my PC, onto the card and bingo. Works perfectly.
Keeps saying download unsuccessful on my browser

Doesn't work on my handset it always performs a Google search. I've even tried unticking the Internet option in the Searchable Items list and it still searches Google. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling too.
Me too I think this might be a new version though but it wont download lol
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
It is a newer version than the one I originally had installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled this one.
Download to your PC, then move to the SD Card and install (just open with Astro.) It really works very well
Yes this works better now, only thing is when i say call mom etc
i get a list.. call mom, call mom mobile, call mom google search etc.. why dont it just do it lol
The stock voice dialer is useless. Is there one that works pretty well?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
What is wrong with the stock one? It seems to do everything I need it to do. It would be easier to make a suggestion if we know what you are looking for.
I think it works great.
hmm well if it was running all the time maybe, but having to click it each time, say what you want, then press it when it pops up is a bit dumb, is there a way for it to activate automatically after you say open a program, instead of just bringing a menu up on the screen for you to actually press ?
I need beta testers for this Rom/Mod. This Mod should be able to work on nearly any phone.

This mod is for any phone without service, like something you would give your teenager, so they can call and text on without any costs to you. You must be rooted!!
What does this mod do?
Google Voice Application for Calling and texting implemented

Unneeded applications removed, like the old MMS texting app
VoIP System Ready
Many more features to come.

The main direction this mod is just the very thing. Make sure you do have a Google Voice Account. You can get one free at http://google.com/voice Just be sure to load the Google Voice App, There is two applications, one is the modern texting app from the Play Store, and was is an integrated VoIP app, it's from another project from Sipdroid, I am going to update the version of it as well, but after you have your google account setup with your phone, you can simply open the app and click Register PBX Account for your Google Voice, and a registry box will appear for you to setup another account. It's really simple. I hope to make a video for it later on. Also I will also include a boot animation for the phone.
Great idea! I'm definitely trying this on my old HTC Hero. Is it a complete ROM or a patch for a ROM ? Because the zip is kinda small...4mb only.

It's not a compete rom, in order for me to do that, I would have to work on each phone at a time.

What is the actual name of the two apps?

The first app is the text messaging app, created by Google developers, and is already out on the market, at no cost.
The second app is a developer made app from a open source code for Sipdroid, I have modified the application and modified it to integrate it with the mod. So it's under Google Voice as a name.
I went ahead and made adjustments to the mod, it is now once again been reupdated, so if you used it already, just reload the back and do it again. I'm also going to make a uninstaller for this.

So is the text messaging app the Google Voice app then?
Here is something to think about - and it's actually kinda a big deal to me.
One of the STUUUPID things that verizon has done to us is to strip the VOIP settings out of the native dailer. If you use any of the 3rd party ROMS (well - any of the 3rd party ROMS that are not BLUR based) - you get that feature back in the native dailer. So what would be better would be to not install the sipdroid client at all and just use the native dailer to do all this.
Believe it or not that is one of my two HUGE complaints about this phone. If you want the VOIP in the native dailer - you loose HDMI because no 3rd party ROMS support it.
Now, interestingly, my HUGE 2nd complaint is that the lapdocks totally suck and I've never had any success with any of my lapdocks/bionics getting them to actually work. Even doing a factory reset..etc etc etc - the freakn lapdocks just dont freakn work.
I guess at this point (or pretty soon anyway) I'm not going to care because when my sucky verizon contract is up in a couple of months I'm switching carriers to Sprint and getting a Galaxy Note 2. I would get it on verizon - but the stuuuupid verizon folks have locked the bootloader on it and the stuuuupid verizon doesn't have unlimited bandwith and Sprint does.
My experience with VZ has been horrific. My HDMI didn't work so they sent me a 2nd phone. I sent the first one back but they claim they never got it and charged me $600 bucks for it. To top that off the 2nd phone's HDMI doesn't work either - and the friends phone that DOES have a working HDMI still wont work with the lapdock..etc etc etc.
Basiaclly they've screwed me out of about 700 bucks and I still don't have a working unit.
Ill be ur test subject

So this will only work for people that has a Google voice account? And where Google voice is available i.e. USA?

It's not clear for me... Does this replaces sms/dialer with GV compatible ones? or it is a whole ROM by itself (very basic one just for making calls/text)?
Is it country specific ? As I lives in India where is no google voice yet , which I eagerly wanted to try on my nexus 7 which do not have calling facility.

Hello everyone,
I have had the Nexus 4 for a few months and am for the most part happy with it. I am not a power user by any means,but the pure android experience has been very helpful to me. I just started a new career which required a lot of traveling to different locations and scheduling and the calendar and navigation have been like a godsend for me. The notetaking apps like keep are great too. Like having your own personal assistant.
There are few things I still struggle with, particually on the phone end. I tranferred my contacts over from a blackberry, I think google did this automatically. It takes me a while to scroll down to a contact(voice recog does not work great for names) - is there a "better" way to set-up your contacts for easier acess or to enhance voice dialing? I feel it takes me much longer to find a contact than to set the navigation system to a new location. Anyone find a good solution for this?
Thanks,
Rick
Hello... I'm new here too... After using a blackberry I missed the name search here on Nexus.. The stock dialer in my opinion is ****.. Try exdialer..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Start dialing the contact name on the dial pad, this might only be a feature on custom ROMs though. If you drag the list on the right, it should scroll faster, going by letter instead of one contact at a time. This should work on stock.
You can search for a contact. Also you can add favorites for faster access to them

What he said. You can search for a contact in the Phone app by name.
Hey
It isnt really a problem, but it kinda disturb me-when clicking on someone's name on contacts it immediatly calls him, is there any way to disable that ? for example, in galaxy S4-when you swipe the contact to the right it calls him and when you press it it shows info about him.
Please help me disabling that, thanks
Press on the contact image for options, use a 3rd party contacts application if that is useless to you.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
That actually only occurs if you go through the Phone application. If you launch the People application instead, pressing on the contact takes you to the contact info.
Go for exDialer. Hands down the best, detailed and smoothest contacts/phone app replacement around.. For me at least. Try it.
