Does anybody know of a way to change the bluetooth voice dialling app?
I would rather have "Voice Actions" launch than the default Vlingo voice app when I use my bluetooth kit, but I can't find a way to change the app that opens.
Does anyone know of a way? I would rather not root but will consider it if that's the only way.
Thanks
Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> look for Vlingo, select it and "Clear Defaults".
Next time you start the dialer it'll hopefully ask what you want as default, set it to voice search and tick the box.
You can also go to settings -> voice input+output and select the app you want to process voice input. Vlingo's processor seems to work much better than Google's, YMMV.

Tried that already; vlingo isn't listed but I looked at the voice commands app and there's no.option to clear defaults. Also I can change the speech engine in voice input+output but not the app itself.
Any other ideas?
Anyone?
If there's any way to do this someone on XDA must know, this place is like the pool of all knowledge when it comes to hacking devices to do what we want them to do

I just realised that the earlier poster (knightnz) was probably using a custom ROM - so, presumably, if I root and install a custom ROM I will be able to change the bluetooth app, I just can't do it on Samsung's ROM? I repeat that there is no option to "clear defaults" in the default voice commands app on Samsung's ROM.
If so, I might root.
Thanks in advance for any answers

I was able to switch back and forth. Which messaging program are you using? Verify the settings, restart and then try it?

Does this work only in the multitouch keyboard, or will it work with swype as well?
the messaging program im using is the one that comes with the phone which is "text messaging" i believe, and the default voice input is set to google. and still it doesnt work i rebooted my phone twice.
Hi,
On the stock ROM you could manage app associations in the settings.
I'm running CM11 now and I don't see anything like that.
So how are you managing your app associations?
I can see where to clear them but no dashboard for viewing/changing them.
Unless I'm missing something.

The app association is simply the pop up box with the choice of apps to use when select something that requires another app to open it. And you select "Always" or "Just Once", selecting "Always" sets your association.
This may be a dumb question, but is there a way to launch Wear apps without using voice? For example, Evernote Wear seems to require that I use voice or pull out my phone and open the Evernote app. That seems to defeat the purpose of having a screen on my wrist that responds to touch...
Is it there if you go into the voice search menu and then scroll down? That's where the settings and things are so I'd expect apps to be listed there.

Yeah, it appears you have to go to the voice menu, scroll all the way to the bottom and tap "Start..." to see the list of apps. Seems like kind of a kludgy way to do it, but I'm just glad there's an option.
I think the watch is mainly made to be navigated by voice.

This. It works just fine with voice, but it gets awkward in public when you have to say "ok google open notes". Hopefully they will add a feature to launch apps directly from the homescreen as the scrolling down in the voice menu takes way longer than opening the app on the phone anyway.

I just got the Maps 9.2.0 update (officially from the Play Store)
You can read about it here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...oice-level-auto-corrects-misspelled-searches/
There's supposed to be an option to adjust the volume of the guidance voice called "Voice Level," but I don't seem to have it on my Z3 (stock firmware 77). Does anyone else have this option? To check, go to Maps > (hamburger) > Settings > Navigation settings > Voice Level.
Bump?

Same here. French version, stock rom.
I do not have this option when I open the maps app. I searched the help section in maps and voice level is listed as a beta feature only on *some* android devices 4.4 kitkat and above. Instructions for use in the help section state "while navigating". Perhaps you must actually have navigation going (select destination and route>start navigation) in order for the option to appear in the settings?
*edit: the tilt option is there while NOT navigating. I will have to test my theory next time I am in the car.

Thanks but the option unfortunately still doesn't show up. I assume I could get it to work with a build.prop edit, but I don't want to unlock my bootloader =_=
Hi,
Mate 10 Pro user here.
When I play audio via Bluetooth to my car or headphones, after the screen switches off the audio stops.
When I switch the screen back on the audio starts back up.
Any ideas? Seems like some power optimisation, but I can't find anywhere to fix it.

Which player are you using? It sounds like the 'phone is killing your (presumably non-stock) music player.
i have the same issue using google play music

None of these are by default allowed to run in the background (thank Huawei's rather vicious power management system), which would explain why they're being killed as soon as the system thinks you're no longer using them.
Go to Settings -> Battery -> Launch and switch whichever player you want to use to "manage manually," and leave all three manual settings set to "on" (or in the very least, leave the "run in background" option enabled).
This should then allow your preferred media player to continue running in the background after the screen locks.

Thanks a lot for that.
Seems to be working perfectly.
This is actually what i was looking for, but coming from Pure Android based roms, I didnt know what "Launch" was

To tell you the truth, I was getting ready to try to sell my Mate 10 when it was three days old, because the power saving features are so intrusive.
As time has progressed though, I've learnt to embrace its idiosyncrasies and am now very happy with it all 'round.
Just one more point which I'm sure you'll encounter sooner rather than later - if you need an app to consistently run in the background (for example, Tasker or an e-mail client), you'll want to tell the Mate 10 to allow it to do so;
Settings -> Apps & Notifications -> Apps -> Settings (the cog at the bottom of the screen) -> Special Access -> Battery Optimisation
... then set your critical apps to "Don't Optimise."
Until I did this for K9 Mail and Tasker, I was only getting notification updates when I unlocked the 'phone, which more often than not was a couple of hours after I was sent an urgent e-mail.

You are happy that this setting works for you! For me for example, that doesnt solves anything! I would sell it for sure, but theres just no point. gonna wait one year, but not going to buy huawei by any means.
