[Q] Launching Google Now by voice - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hey guys,
If you guys have had a look at the new Moto X, then you have seen the new voice features, like how you can start up Google Now with your voice, from anywhere in the phone. Do you know a way to do that on a GS4?
Thanks

Can't do it on the s4

This requires a sensor only the X has.

But you can start up SVoice with your voice.

And therein lies the solution. Just write a tasker profile to launch Google now and kill s voice whenever s voice launches.

Without the moto x low power always on processors, it will eat up your battery though

1. Do you like it compared to your previous phone? 2. Best feature in your opinion? 3. Is Touchless control working 100%?

Ok seriously though, can you see the pixels if you look closely. I'm not asking about the color or anything. Just can you discern pixels up close.

what color back do you have and if it's a solid color does it have a smooth or rubberized feel to it?

Previous phone was HTC One. Wife has the S4. I've had nearly all the good ones. Its as good as the One or S4. Its different though. Build quality is great. Feels solid. Camera not great. Too many soft photos.
Best feature is active notifications. Changes the way you could use the phone.
Touchless working for me. After training, of course. I did have one fail on it, with "OK Google Now" in the car. Said it again and it came right up.

If I am about an inch away from the screen and focus real hard i can see tiny jaggedness in the ATT symbol in notification drawer. Non issue.

I bought the white. Which is the woven white. Its a smooth feel. It isn't like the Galaxy Nexus which is what I thought it would be like looking at it.

Have you tried any aftermarket camera apps to see if the pic quality improves?

I just did with the 4.3 camera from the S4 and quality appears similar. Again, not terrible, but not as good as the One or S4.

Is the very right edge of your display slight raised. Can you feel it if you swipe off the edge.

I like the One a lot. I didn't like Sense and converted it to Google Play Edition. Was pretty good on that ROM. Honestly, it wasn't what I didn't like about the One but what I like about the X (Active Notifications, Touchless Control, Moto Assist). Those additions are actually useful.
If I had to pick one thing about the One I didn't like, it'd be the power button. All the way on the top left. Had to re-adjust to turn on every time. Obviously very minor issue though.

Double tap to wake is necessary on the One as far as I'm concerned.

As a right handed person the raised left would be no big deal.

As you use it more, can you report about real world battery life? I'm debating between X and Maxx. For me, 2 days on the Maxx is overkill and if the X comfortably makes it through 20 hours without looking over its shoulder too hard it's a win in my opinion.

New message wake

I may be missing it, but does anybody see an option that won't wake the screen when a new message comes in?

Yeah you need to have a custom room or xposed mod to get the setting back.

Dang, seriously? I guess I'm so used to rooted phones that I didn't realize that wasn't just a general setting. We need root bad.

For SMS/MMS, I installed Textra and turned off the native messaging app. Textra allows you to not wake up the screen in settings. Not exactly a fix, but I'm liking the app so far.

Not sure what's going on then. I will uninstall and install and try again.

Uninstalled and reinstalled, still no option to deposit. The only options are account balances and pay bills.

that was happening to me to, then all the sudden its working fine again. maybe it was turning the daydream feature on and off a bunch, but whatever I did fixed it.

I tried turning it off and on a bunch of times, and now it still does the same flickering, but now when I touch the screen, it says "day dream have stopped responding". Before it would just exit daydream mode. Now it crashes

Video is hit or miss for me when I record it. It seems overexposed and kind of has trails on motion.

So apparently holding down the recent apps button opens the menu feature in apps. So now that I have that function my Chase app has the ability to deposit checks again.

Just found the solution - if you are using a tablet hold the recent window button down and the menu pops up:fingers-crossed:

Disable moto voice in favor of Google now?

Anyone know how to do this so Google now responds when the screen is off? Or do we need to wait for a root?
I would rather cut out the middle man (moto voice) when using touchless voice controls. I have it working for except when the screen is off.

I'm trying to get OK Google voice activation set up but it keeps telling me unable to use microphone please restart device. Does anyone have it set up? Is something wrong with my mic?
Perhaps it's because of Moto Voice?
