I'm not sure if this is true for other phones listed above, but for The Galaxy Note II, I had to make sure S-Voice was disabled (it says Voice Dialer on the first post).
Also, if you have downloaded bluetooth launcher you probably already tried:
"Google Search" and then selected "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity"
and was still launching S-Voice. Once you disable S Voice (note the space) go into Settings > Application manager and scroll to the right to ALL. Then find S Voice and disable it.
Once you disable it and hit the button on the paired bluetooth device, you will get a "Complete Action Using" dialog. Resist the temptation to choose Google search. I know it's the logical choice, however you will not get Google Now; you will get a Google voice dialer instead. So make sure you choose "Bluetooth Launch" and select ALWAYS. Now when you hit the bluetooth button, you should get Google Now.

soooo, no progress
still stuck at getting the microphone to actualy work when google now is accessed.
i see a thanks from member "exitcode1" did you have any better luck ?

My mistake... activating Now from bluetooth worked so well I just assumed the whole process would work, but the phone mic was actually hearing me from inside my bag, not the BT mic.

Is that even with the google now setting enabled to listen to google now voice searches via bluetooth when bluetooth device is connected???

I had to select the box to enable blutooth mic in Google now, then it worked. I still have to hit my bt button a few times the first time I use it.

Did you ever figure out how to fix this issue? I want Google Now to pop up when I press my bluetooth button on my headset. I'm currently running 4.1 on my DNA (About to me 4.2.2 in about 20 minutes)

I don't have a samsung phone. But I'll try using this method and see what happens.

Got mine working with HTC One, maximushd 30, kk 4.4 and a 2014 bmw.
Used bluetooth launch and chose voicesearchactivity under google search.
Also I made sure bluetooth headset was checked on in google now-settings-voice.

Google voice search still not working on Alpha 3

Anyone got same issue with Google voice search under Alpha 3

I have try recording voice at Webos, it is OK, but not working at android !
Have you tried voice search on another device? Reason I ask is last year I had issues with voice search returning jibberish when I used it, problem was with the voice data they collected getting screwed up online. If voice search fails on another device that's most likely the cause. You can clear the data in your Google account.
i think i might have misunderstood you. I use the actual google voice app for texting and I can search fine. there is another app call Voice Search which is completely different.
In any case, Voice Search app does not recognize that I say.

have you try using "Sound Recorder" app from Alpha 3, It is not working for me as well, the sound record got abnormal playback. the sound record only work on WebOS ! Sad.....
Google voice search from the market does not work for me either, but.... the mic button on smart keyboard pro does work. It works pretty good, especially if you talk directly into the top of the touchpad where the mic is. Just thought I'd let you guys know. FWIW the voice recording app ALSO works for me. it sounds a bit muffled, but it does record and playback legibly.

[Q] Prevent S Voice from starting when car docked? - TWO Workarounds Found

whenever I mount the phone to my car dock, S Voice comes on first! When it wasn't working on my Skyrocket, I just froze it and said screw this thing, but now that it works just fine on the SIII, every time I mount it to the car dock, I have to close out of it first before I can get Music up and running.... is there a work around for this to prevent it from coming on when mounted to the car dock I haven't thought of yet?
I quit using Tasker, it got to be too damn much on the phone, so I just use A2DP Volume to automate the connection - when I connect my car dock, it loads Music and adjusts BT volume for me, but it won't close an app on connection.... How can you prevent S Voice from coming up in the first place?
EDIT - I found these steps for turning off Voice Talk, the older version of Google's Voice Commands, and I'm going to give this a try. The motion part isn't applicable though, I think....
Try turning off DOUBLE TAP under Voice Talk settings.
Click on and bring up Voice Talk, then hit the bottom left button and click SETTINGS.
On the SETTINGS page, scroll down to the VOICE TALK section and click VOICE TALK SETTINGS.
On the next page, click on MOTION.
Next page, under MOTION ACTIVATION SERVICES, uncheck DOUBLE TAP.

WORKAROUNDS - We now have two workarounds to solve this problem.... Here they are:
If you like S Voice and just want to prevent it from starting up when car docked, use the Dock Nothingness app and select it by default the next time you car dock
If you don't like S Voice and want to block it completely, just freeze it with Titanium Backup and it won't run at all (PRO key must be installed for you to freeze and defrost apps)
Did you get anywhere with this problem - I'm in the same boat. What I'd really like is the old default car home to launch, but not getting s-voice (useless in my little convertible!) would be a great start!

Nope, but I think your issue would be easier to overcome since you can just download Car Home Ultra or something similar, I don't want any car home to launch at all, just the A2DP Volume app which will launch Google Music for me....
I have everything set like they said on the S Voice settings page, so it doesn't activate with a double tap home input, but it still comes up! Now that I have Tasker running as well, it asks if I want to use S Voice or Tasker, or either of them by default, and I don't want any of them, really! If I say Tasker, I believe it will do nothing, but that might interfere with A2DP Volume, and then I have to set Tasker to run A2DP Volume when it is car docked..... that's straight up going around in circles now!!!
I have the same problem... please fix! I do not like S Voice...

Nothing I can do about it, I'm definitely not a dev....
I selected Tasker by default when car docked and it seems to work just fine right now, I don't have any task set when the car is docked, but at least it recognizes Tasker will take priority when car docked instead of S Voice! That's the best work around I know of so far....
Sorry if I'm mentioning the obvious, but if you go into s voice in the applications manager is anything set in its 'launch by default' section? I don't have anything in there now, but that may be because I set my car-launcher as default on docking. I don't know if 'on dock' was in there before.

If you are rooted, why don't you just freeze svoice? I didn't like it so I froze it when I was freezing all of the carrier installed crapware (didn't want to uninstall it in case I actually get some of the features enabled).. freeze it and you will never see it again.. (I don't think I would risk deleting it since if it breaks something else it is easy enough to unfreeze/thaw the application)... this of course requires you to have titanium backup and pay for the elite license which gives you these features..
Double Home doesn't launch anything anymore.. although I never had a problem with it launching when going into car-mode.. I had turned that feature off...
I am still a noob with the andriod phone.. I had an iphone before this.. but am finding that I really like the flexibility of andriod over iphone..
It looks like we have a decent work around, posted by zen0s on the Infuse car dock thread:
zen0s said:
I just tried this and it works great. To get rid of that annoying "S Voice" pop up everytime when phone is docked. Go to play store and download "Dock Nothingness". After you install it dock your phone and make "Dock Nothingness" as your default app. Now you won't be bother with those s-voice launching.
Click to expand...

I froze it using TiBU on my Skyrocket and that worked just fine because S Voice wasn't really working well with the phone, but now that I have an SIII, I want to use it when it is appropriate for me, not every time I dock the phone! So the two options stand, freeze it or run Dock Nothingness to prevent S Voice from starting up every time it is car docked!

Set Samsung Voice Command as default?

In previous versions of the Shostock ICS ROM, when I used voice commands with my Blueant Q2 headset, it automatically used Samsung Voice Command for making hands-free calls (worked great). But since I upgraded to 4.1.4, it defaults to Google Voice Dialer and then doesn't work. I can't find GVD in the applications list to deactivate nor can I find a way to make SVC the default.
Shoman didn't have any idea about the problem.
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.
I think shoman misunderstood your original question when he responded about installing SVC yourself, but you only gave him a couple hours to respond to your clarification about setting the default before you posted over here.
Which voice command pops up for you now when you press the search button on the phone? The Google Now one that has "Search, or say Google" in the search bar or a different one?

When I press the button my Blueant Q2 headset, the Google Voice Dialer pops up. The little red circle to the right of Google then has a never-ending circling line and GVD never seems to engage.
I want SVC to pop up, not GVD.
Does that help? Can you help?
BTW, I just upgraded to Shostock 4.1.4.
Gotcha. I think I understand. Have you tried a long press on your phone's search button to pop up all search/dial options and set Samsung's to default?

I just tried long pressing Search, per your suggestion, and set Samsung Voice Talk as the default. After that, when I long press Search SVC comes up. But when I use my headset, GVD still pops up.
Other ideas?
I do appreciate the help...
After messing around some, this seems to be a problem with 4.1.4. I use AVX as my default and hadn't gotten around to reinstalling it since I flashed shoman's latest. After restoring it, I set it to default and am having the same exact deal as you, a press on the search button opens Google Now but my headset starts the Google dialer with the spinning red circle even though my default is set to something else. A long press on the search button will open my default, though.
Just flashed back to 4.1.2 and the problem persisted, so it isn't the latest version of the Shostock ROM.
So what has changed? I don't know. But being able to voice dial while driving is essential for me and I can't do it now.
Thoughts?

It's more than that. Before Google Now, a press on the phone's search button opened whatever your default was set to (same as a long press on my Plantronics set). Now, a press always opens Google Now's search, and a long press opens your default. I could live with that, but our headsets now always open up neither, it starts the old google voice command. Pretty funky.

Hardly an "epic fail" on your part given the awesome ROM that you have created.

I restored back to 4.1.1 and it works great. As I need hands-free, I'll stick with that until this problem gets ironed out (or you create a JB ROM!).

How to disable long press headset button activates google now?

Hi guys, I need a little help here.
On ICS I used to skip songs on Poweramp using the headset button, but since I upgraded to Jellybean, the long press goes to Voice Search on Google Now? Is there a way to disable that? I already configured on Poweramp to use the long press, gave it high priority, but google voice continues taking place and there's no options there to disable it.
Any idea?

If you install a headset button conytol app and set the sensitivity of the buttons to your personal need it works pretty good.
This app does not only control the buttons but also the app itself, like Poweramp,, but also online players like Spotify an Rdio. Free, no ads.

That/those smarties in google dev team who come up with this idea should be punished @%!^#[email protected]$^@$^$&U
I've made the app which brings back long-press functionality for the button. Headset Remapper remaps “HEADSETHOOK WAKE” key with the “MEDIA_NEXT WAKE”. In other words when you press the play/pause/accept/decline button (the one in the middle or the only one in your remote) it will be “seen” by the Android OS as the SKIP button (next song).
Having this done you can use your button again with its full functionality (I checked that it works with this app: Headset Button Controller). Remember that you need to configure the SKIP (MEDIA_NEXT) button not the the play/pause/accept/decline !
This app needs ROOT to run!

I tried the app and it didn't work for me on a US Cellular Galaxy S3. I'm not sure why. I started it, granted it root, and it said it was successful when I made the change.

I then restored the original file with the app. Then I followed these manual instructions in this thread and rebooted. I need to point out that I do not have a sec_jack.kl file, so I only edited Generic.kl. After doing the edit by hand and rebooting, long press now works the way I want and doesn't launch Google Now. :victory: I use Headset Button Controller for assigning the functions.

[Q] LG Voice Recognition w/Bluetooth

I looked to see if anyone else was having this issue and found that there was not a thread for it yet. Instead of going into detail, I have simply posted my exchange with LG from online support, since it is all describe there.
David Miller: I preordered and now have an LG G3, which I think is a wonderful device, except for an issue that I have related to the LG voice recognition software. I am frequently in my car and use bluetooth. When I press the bluetooth button, I get the LG voice control software, "Say a Command." When I say a command, it is on the rare occassion that the software actually gets it right. Typically, it says, "command not recognized" to something as simple as "call mom mobile," or when it asks whether I want to call mom mobile and I say yes, it also says command not recognized.
David Miller: The other thing that I noticed is that it is more likely to get the command correct if I do not wake the software by bluetooth, but instead wake the phone and unlock the screen.
David Miller: I previously got the advice to restore factory settings, which I did. No improvement.
Frank: i understand
David Miller: Google Now seems to recognize my commands with no issues whatsoever.
David Miller: Also, the ok genie command doesn't seem to work.
Frank: in this case i can escalate the issue
Frank: to have an update pushed out to solve this issue.
If anyone has experienced this issue and has found a solution, please post here. Thanks.
I am in the same boat.
Any one now how to bypass the LG Voice and make bluetooth trigger Google Now? That should fix our issues....

Not a clue unfortunately. Couldn't even do it with my previous Nexus phone. Google had the dialer attached to the bluetooth rather than Google Now. It completely limited the actions that you could perform with bluetooth, but at least it recognized my command to call.

You can setup Google Now to record through bluetooth.
Touch the microphone, then the settings. Now choose "voice" .
Now go to the bottom of the page and select "Bluetooth Headset".
Now select "OK Google Detection" and select all the boxes.
You should be good.
OK Google would work everywhere and through the BT headset.

I disabled/froze the LG voice command and now mine defaults to Google Now on my Lg Tones. Try this, it worked for me.
Disabled LG Voice Command and Stereo launches Voice Dial, so guess LG Voice is better than nothing... Wish there was a way to make Google now work. Cortana worked just fine with my stereo lol...

What is the exact name of the LG Voice Command app, b/c I only have an LG Voice Command Speech Pack.

That just opens the old google voice dialer, not Google Now.
Same issue and I'm SO dissapointed. Upgraded from an S4...and today I get on my motorcycle, paired just fine, pressed the button on my Sena SMH10, and heard nothing for about 10 minutes. Stopped at a light, pulled out my phone, and Voice Command was still "initializing". Put it back in my pocket, and then a few minutes later it scared the crap out of me yelling "Say a command!!!". I said "play music" and it wanted to call someone. I said "No", and it didn't recognize my command. What a POS!
I need the ability to send texts, make calls, play music (select artist or album, etc.).
Really upset... I guess I'll try to disable it and use OK Google, but I know already that when I say "play music" its going to be streaming stuff and not using my local music.
If anyone finds a fix for this, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mark

This is going to sound a bit odd, but I think that the phone is not initially using the bluetooth mic, but instead that on the phone. When I have the phone near my mouth after hitting the bluetooth button, it seems to get my commands right. I sent an email to LG customer support to see if they have any fixes in the works.
VoiceCommand 1.1.1
HERE'S ANOTHER WORKAROUND BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO MANUALLY PUT PHONE BACK TO SLEEP AFTER USING....
I am using the Jawbone IconHD, shouldn't matter but It works.
Must Be Rooted, Must have Titanium Backup!!
1.Download VoiceCommand https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.itdevcrowd.voicecommand
2. Open TB, find Voicecommand 1.1.1 - Tap it - swipe to the left - scroll down to CONVERT TO SYSTEM APP
3. Put phone to sleep, hold down button on Headset.....Google Now
FOR WHATEVER REASON THIS WORKAROUND WILL OVERRIDE THE "DIM AND PUT TO SLEEP AFTER SO MANY MINUTES" BUT AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT WAKE PHONE WITH BT BUTTON, PHONE WILL GO BACK TO SLEEP AS USUAL
NoI installed Bluetooth Launcher yesterday, to use with my hbs-800 headset, now get Google now voice actions instead of lg.
The font is ridiculously small on a g3; if you have an HDMI output adapter, use it, to select Google search, them the second voice actions option in the sublist that opens.
I can now use commands like Call, weather in, directions to, start, ...
I'll check out voice command, sounds like it gets to the same result, but without futzing with the selection window.
I didn't know TB had the promote to system app function. Thanks!
I second this app. No frills, but very useful. Can set the button on your headset to launch whatever you like, including Google Now voice launcher. Works great.

I wanted to note that the entry you want to check is different than one you mentioned, at least on my phone.
For me, it is actually the 4th one down, "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.voicesearchactivity

Thanks for the correction, memory is the first thing to go
Anyhow, I'm enjoying BT launcher. The one thing I would love is to find a working widget to turn GPS on or off, so I could use "start gpstoggle" as a spoken command. So far the only one I've seen that actuality does this is the GPS part of power toggles, and there is no way to split that element off as a standalone commandable action. Everything else I've tried just acts as a shortcut to the Locations tab, you still have to then press the on/off button.
i have the same problem!

I looked to see if anyone else was having this issue and found that there was not a thread for it yet. Instead of going into detail, I have simply posted my exchange with LG from online support, since it is all describe there.
David Miller: I preordered and now have an LG G3, which I think is a wonderful device, except for an issue that I have related to the LG voice recognition software. I am frequently in my car and use bluetooth. When I press the bluetooth button, I get the LG voice control software, "Say a Command." When I say a command, it is on the rare occassion that the software actually gets it right. Typically, it says, "command not recognized" to something as simple as "call mom mobile," or when it asks whether I want to call mom mobile and I say yes, it also says command not recognized.
David Miller: The other thing that I noticed is that it is more likely to get the command correct if I do not wake the software by bluetooth, but instead wake the phone and unlock the screen.
David Miller: I previously got the advice to restore factory settings, which I did. No improvement.
Frank: i understand
David Miller: Google Now seems to recognize my commands with no issues whatsoever.
David Miller: Also, the ok genie command doesn't seem to work.
Frank: in this case i can escalate the issue
Frank: to have an update pushed out to solve this issue.
If anyone has experienced this issue and has found a solution, please post here. Thanks.[/QUOTE
I am having the exact same issues, all other v commands work except the LG phones v command for placing call and or opening apps. I hope someone will correct this quickly otherwise I will have to go back to my Motorola, I really like the LG with this exception but it is a serious issue because I really need to be totally hands free.

On my Verizon LG G3, I followed the directions in this thread to disable the "Voice Command" app from within the Application Manager and I ensured that "Bluetooth Headset" was on from within the Google Settings app under the "Voice" menu. When I press the Bluetooth button in my Toyota Tacoma, it now calls up the Google app which prompts me for a voice instruction. These steps eliminate LG's crappy Voice Command app. :victory:

My D855 with stock ROM is completely unresponsive to the Bluetooth push button.
I set the:
Google -> Search -> voice -> Hands free -> Allow Bluetooth request on locked screen
Google -> Search -> voice -> Record from Bluetooth
The oldest firmware I tried was STOCK ROM v21A.
I am not alone with this problem:

May be an older Android version triggers Voice recognition from Bluetooth.
