Google search over S voice - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello, my car has an option to activate voice commands, and those commands are Google's, but after changing the stock ROM in my S7 edge, when I press that button, it activates S voice, is there a way to set google as the default ?
Thank you

Try "Settings/Applications/Default applications/Device assistance app" and set it to Google Now.

I see. Just tried it on my car. I have an old '97 BMW 528iA so I don't have a smart HU but I have a Bluetooth system connected to the built in handsfree of the car. Pressing the voice command button also activates S Voice for me. However, as long as the S7's display is turned on, I can use the "OK Google" command to use Google Now. I'll update this post when I find something new.

Voice Commands - working properly ?

If I say "Send text to [X] where are we meeting" the Galaxy S2 actually tries to search that phrase instead of actioning it.
Any way to correct this ?
Voice recognition info (love it!)
Hi, Yes if you have the stock phone, double tap the home button to access the Touchwiz Vlingo. I have found this to be not only more accurate than the Google input, but I don't need to get as close to the mic.
I have found it uncannily accurate, and this is the first phone where voice recognition has been more than a gimmick for me.
such as
"Text John Smith how are you doing John question mark"
will give you an SMS window in Vlingo
How are you doing John?
You then have the option to resend etc.
Other useful ones like 'Show me a map of nearest petrol stations"
or
'Navigate to EC1V 2AA'
or
Navigate to the nearest petrol station.
Theres loads of useful stuff on there, I love it's integration in search, nav, maps messaging (text and email) etc..
Driving mode allows you to keep it in permanent listening mode (also an option under voice settings in Settings). Do as SMS come in it will read to you, an you can say 'Reply Thanks for the update' etc.
Lastly, but no means least, you can set your highly amusing greeting under Settings->Voice input and output->Voice recog settings->Voice talk settings to whatever you want. Some words work better than others, like Yo! What do you want dude? You'll also find options under this lot for chosing Vlingo or Google.
Have fun.
Peter
Interesting .. I played with it yesterday too .. unfortunately my English is not good. Vlingo mostly does what I want .. but Google NEVER ! It seems like it does not even interpret commands .. if I say something like 'listen to xxx' .. it sometimes does understand what I said .. but instead of playing the song, it sends it to internet search. What do I do wrong ? Is there some option to setup google voice search ? Is it possible to use it instead of Vlingo ?

Unfortunately no .. this imho affects what is used when dictating text. But when I double press 'home', I still get Vlingo, even if I have set this setting to Google.

Hi, yes you will. The screen you are referring to is always powered by vlingo, as it is part of Touchwiz as far as I know (and as stock assigned to the double tap).
This setting controls the default voice engine (not software front end), so theoretically when for example you are dictating a text you will now be using Vlingo. But this will not change you using the Voice Talk when double click.
As for your problem, you should be saying 'play music by', rather than 'listen to' Curiously this does result in search for me too, but only when I have selected the Voice Commands from Apps and not when double clicking into it??!!
cheers
Peter
Ahh, cracked it!!
The Voice Control app accessed by double clicking home button accesses the same app, but will only let you use the set commands shown and a couple of other like maps. And for me always works well with 'Play Music' - not 'Listen to.'
Key difference between this and the Voice Commands app accessed from Applications is that that if it doesn't understand you it says it could not recognise command or similar.
whereas the one from Apps will run a search if it understood the words but not the command. Basically, two different implementations of 'don't understand command'.
Hope this helps!

[Q] Launch Google Voice Search with Bluetooth

Hello,
I want to launch Google Now in my LG G2 (TMO) when I press the Bluetooth button. But it only brings Voice Dialer. Tried disabling it and select Google Voice Search Activity in Bluetooth Launch app. But no help.
When Voice Dialer is disabled, Bluetooth Launch does not open anything.
Anyone have a work around?
Thanks,

I tried multiple bluetooths. Dont think Bluetooth device is the problem. Needs a way to trigger a custom app when Bluetooth button is pressed.

Same exact issue here. I desperately need this to work! Any other way to customize the bluetooth button?
It would be really nice but AFAIK this had been tried and failed on other devices as well.
I searched for a solution for my other phone (Note II) and didn't find one.
I'll be thrilled if someone proves me wrong.

I have a seat of Beats headphones. The advance and rewind buttons actally control the volume slider instead, not what I was hoping. However, a long press on the stop/ pause button will bring up Google Now.

Yeah, but these are wired aren't they.? I think what we all looking for here is BT solution.

I've searched for this solution for hours, nothing, nada, even on here no one can figure it out. There used to be a workaround involving a bluetooth activation app, but that doesn't work anymore, although the app is still on the app market. What's interesting to me is that in Cyanogenmod 10.2 on my G2 when I press my bluetooth it gave me an option to use Googles voice dialer, or Google search. I picked Google search and it works, but for some reason the phone cannot pick up my voice thru bluetooth, so it's kind of useless.
I'm quite surprised and disappointed that no one has been able to figure this out, but maybe it's just more complex and/or individual to each device.
It is because phone launch MIC_VOICE_COMMAND intent action instead of VOICE_COMMAND. I wrote small application that intercept MIC_VOICE_COMMAND and run VOICE_COMMAND. I tried it with motorolla Voice Commands (installed on system partition) and it is works fine.
Removed gnl.apk because it is does not work.

It works fine for me, Just download and install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nuance.android.vsuite.vsuiteapp
Move it to system application via Titanium Backup. Then you may use apk from my first message to run it instead of standard voice dialer.

Hi, can you elaborate on this? I downloaded the voice command program but it won't run, saying "Not a system app. Illegal installation". I know it needs to be moved to the system folder to work, but can you elaborate on this? Is this in /settings/apps ? Also where is the voice command .apk located to move from? Also the last apk you mention is the gnl.apk?
Thanks, this will be awesome, much appreciated.

Voice Commander is build-in application for all Motorola phones and to work it must be installed on system partition, To do it you must have root & Titanium Backup Pro (paid version because only paid version have this feature).
- Run Titanium Backup

- Swipe to the left for "Special features:

[Q] LG G2 change default app launched when bluetooth call button is pressed

I have been searching the internet for the past few days to try to find a solution to this issue, but to no avail. When I long press the call button on my Plantronics 520 bluetooth headset, the phone launches the "Voice Dialer" app. This app is TERRIBLE at voice recognition (go figure). I have tried using this workaround, but a) I am not using a Nexus 4, b) the phone I have is completely stock, and c) I have a different headset. I would like to choose what app is launched when I long press the bluetooth call button. Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm running android 4.2.2.

+1 on this...the Voice Dialer is terrible...I don't understand how it could be so bad and how LG's interface does not allow for choosing a default app for this feature.
Bump...hoping little issues like this get addressed by one of the talented devs out there somewhere. These nagging little issues have my LG sidelined in favor of my DNA (for now). That being said, I already miss the screen on the G2 and the placement of the soft keys vs. the DNA. Here's hoping to see more development of the LG software with helpful mods like being able to set defaults on voice control, sleep settings for notification LED, etc.

Yep. Instuctions in post #30 are little confusing. If you want Google Now voice search just skip step with Voice Commands all together. No need to make system app to anything. BTW, I'm using Motorola Voice Commands instead of Google Now Voice search so I made it as system app because it won't work otherwise and I skipped other steps because there's no need for Bluetooth launch app if you're using just Motorola Voice Commands. But, ddv2005 app will work on stock LG 4.2.2 because it intercepts LG coded action for mic voice commands and ask just for voice commands. In KitKat 4.4 there's no LG code, just pure AOSP, so I can't see how it could work.

then you need to go to google now settings and choose to record audio ffrom bt sets and then reboot test and it should work out thank you so much alex for the help (and making my bt useable )
2 thanks for you!!
Yep. That's the reason I'm using Motorola Voice commands. You should try it on KitKat. Maybe it'll work.
ATT LG G2 stock 4.4.2 Google Now Search
On ATT LG G2 (D800) I got the phone button on my LG Tone+ headset (HSB-730) to open the Google Now Voice Search finally in 4.4.2. I have not tested this in 4.2.2 but it may work:
Go into the Apps settings and find LG's voice search
Disable it
Install Google Now (It's probably already installed)
Press the phone button on your BT headset
It should now bring up the voice search app that is a part of Google Now
That worked on my phone!

[Q] Svoice voice Wake up?

I've been trying to figure this out since I got the phone, I need some help. How do you wake up the phone while the screen is off using voice?
I turned "voice wake up" on in the svoice settings but it doesn't work. Some people say this was never a feature but apps like "S for switch voice" claim it's a working feature.
It would be awesome if anyone can help,

I just chatted with Samsung live chat thing. They said it is a feature
"Alastair: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?
Visitor: Hi, can you explain to me how to get my Galaxy S5 to wake up while the screen is off using S voice?
Alastair: I understand that you require information how to wake up the device using S Voice. Is that correct?
Visitor: yes
Alastair: Thank you for confirming.
Alastair: May I know the model number of the device? You may find it in Applications>Settings>General>About Device. You can also find the model number beneath the Phone's battery. Generally model number starts with SGH,SPH,SCH,GT or SM.
Visitor: SM-g900v
Alastair: Thank you for the model number.
Alastair: I would like to inform you that you need to say "Hello Galaxy" to wake up the device.
Visitor: can i do this while the screen is off?
Alastair: Yes, the device will wake up when the screen is off."
After a long chat, and factory resetting, they recommended me to return it to Verizon. Still cant get it to work
Guess I will wait and see if this problem is addressed by Samsung, or if the Samsung live chat person has no idea what they are talking about.
I can't get S Voice to wake up at all - Ok Google works fine for Google Now but the default wake up command and my custom wake up command are doing nothing to wake up S Voice.
I'm glad I see no point to S Voice considering the robustness of Google Now.
I'm having same issue, s voice won't wake phone no matter what. I figured eh whatever cause google now is awesome:thumbup:

I don't mean to bump this thread but I figured it out if anyone is interested.
Turn on Car mode then exit out (make sure you still have the steering wheel notification in the status bar). Now you can say "hi galaxy" whenever.
What makes this good is that you can download "S for switch voice" app on the play store. That opens Google Now instead of Svoice. Works just like a Moto X now

I thought would ask on this thread to keep the spam down.
Can this svoice wakeup thing be achieved now that we have root? I mean the function is already there with car mode, but maybe someone could strip down the car mode to have it only wake up with voice, and not mess with Bluetooth or restrict minimum volume.
I know this requires more work then I can imagine and is probably pretty low on anyone's priority list, but if anyone could tell me how to do it or link me to a fix, that would be awesome.

[PSA] OK Google works with the screen off!

Just a PSA for all you guys. If you go into the google search settings, tap voice, enable audio history, then set up the OK google training, there's an option for having it listen when the screen is off.
This basically works by using s voice to set up the OK google command, then instead of launching s voice when the command is heard, it launches google now. It works pretty seamlessly and (as far as I can tell) as good as the Moto X.

Not true, I'm noticing my phone won't go into deep sleep with it on.
It does work with OK Google.
But if you use a custom phrase, that works to wake up the phone but doesn't work on the home screen.
So there you still have to say OK Google.

It might be another app that's doing that. The 805 chip has a dedicated always listening chip. The entire point is for it to not affect the battery. Use it the entire day and see if you really get any worse battery life than with it off. I can assure you you won't.

Cool, thanks
Not OK Google
I can't get my voice training to work. When I get to the screen where it prompts me to say "OK Google" 4 times to train it, after I press the Mic button it never registers my voice... just sits there at 0/4 attempts. I have rebooted, etc.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

THANK YOU! I went into the S-Voice settings (because I had done nothing with it since getting the phone) and first went through all the configuration of S-Voice. Left that app, went back into it and turned all of the S-Voice features off, and then went back to the Google Search settings and into the Voice portion. I then was able to train OK Google the required 4 times. It now works great. Uttering an "OK Google" with the screen off (and locked) will invoke it. Works just like I have wanted it to ever since I saw the feature on the Moto X and was always frustrated I couldn't have it on a better phone!
So guys your saying that ok google depends on svoice still? In other words of you freeze svoice with titanium backup, "Ok Google" command will not work with the screen off? Can someone check please?
