Does anybody know of a voice dialer software out there better than the one Google put out? If not, can someone PLEASE develop one? These things are supposed to be used in conjunction with a bluetooth headset and are supposed to avoid user input because of traffic laws yet the one Google put out prompts the user every time!
Isn't the bluetooth function coming in donut?
What do you mean "the bluetooth function"? Cupcake has full bluetooth capability and the voice dialer technically works with the voice dialer, just not even remotely well enough.
In reference to what your asking. Using your bluetooth to start voice dialing.
That's available right now. I can press the button on my headset to activate voice dialing. It works about 80% of the time. The problem is with the voice dialer application itself. Simply put: it sucks balls.
Does anyone know if the Quick Search Box's voice dialing feature is replacing the actual voice dialer? The teaser video for 1.6 shows it working well (ie figuring out WHO you want to call and doing it automatically without user input) but I also noted a voice dialer icon in the video and technically they pressed a button on the Quick Search Box to activate it. I'm wondering if that can be activated with a BT headset.

I hope so - i've been waiting (im)patiently for voice dial in the UK for a loooooong time
I love the way you have to put on an American accent to get the google voice dialer to work
Call home
English English - "Cawl hoeme" = random results
US english - "kahl hom" = call home
Rubbish
I had to rename the girlf in my phone to "love of my life" which works well. "K" offered me to call "Ed"... So its not great really. Voice search in google seems accurate though.
Direct dial shortcuts ftw. They actually require one less click than trying to voice dial.
BT headset voice dialling would be great though.
Real voice dialing for Android please! It's ridiculous how a 3 year old Windows Mobile device can have 100X better voice dialing...
When Verizon pushed out the KitKat update for the G2, one of the "features" I discovered is that voice dialing from a bluetooth headset got all messed up. Long-pressing the headset button still brings up a voice dialer, but it's an idiotic voice dialer that can't understand what I'm saying and even if it does, certain numbers it just goes "no entry" even though I have multiple numbers in that person's contact file. It's garbage.
There is a way to completely get rid of this and instead use Google Now when you long-press the button on a bluetooth headset. Steps are as follows:
1. Find and disable the pre-installed app called Voice Command
2. Install the app Bluetooth Launch - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kin.bluetooth_launch&hl=en
3. Open Bluetooth Launch. It's going to be a bit funky looking because it's not optimized for higher-resolution screens. You'll see a bunch of really small text with overlapping buttons on the left. It's ugly, but it'll still work.
4. Scroll down to Google Search, tap on it, and it'll expand a list of a bunch of things. Tap on the one that says 'com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity'
5. Pair up your bluetooth headset, and long-press the button like you would to voice dial. You should get a popup that asks which app you want to use. Select Google Search and then 'do this always' to set the default.
This should pop you over to Google Now, which can recognize voice commands just fine, unlike the worthless LG Voice Command. It should also make Google Now the default behavior for long pressing the bluetooth headset button.
Nice write up. Stock voice command works well for me along with non NOW search. I've boycotted NOW for it's ridiculous battery drain. At one point NOW and location services were decent in battery saving, recent service updates have made it worse though.
Thank you sir for showing us how to get back to using Google Now. After the latest Google Search update, BT dialing activated Google Dial instead, and this is the only fix I have found for it. So far this is working great on my Sprint Note 3, and I bet it will work for everyone's phone.
Hello guys, let's get right into it.
It's not just one profile, they are multiple profiles that work together.
So when your phone gets stolen there's pretty much nothing u can do if u have left ur data and GPS off, Tasker solves all of this. Btw I have a nexus 5 running android 7.1 NDE63P
Profile1: when my phone receives a text saying "gps", it activates it using SECURE SETTINGS working along with Tasker (root is required btw)
Profile2: when phone receives text saying " data", it obviously enables data through a shell command, the code is "svc data enable"
Profile3: when it receives a text saying "ring", it starts ringing like it has got no brain, I have an app installed called VOLUME LOCK, and what it does is it simply lets u set up your volume for (RINGER, ALARM, MEDIA) (in the Volume Lock app), and it locks them, so when the app is running u can not turn down the volume of anything, and I just force stop the app, and the first thing Tasker does after receiving the text that says " ring" is it launches the app, so Tasker goes like this ( Launch app, play music through media, play ringtone through ringer, play alarm ringtone through alarm) THIS IS USEFUL IF YOU LOST YOUR PHONE INSIDE THE HOUSE OR IF U WANNA FREAK OUT THE THIEF BECAUSE THERE'S NO WAY TO SHUT IT OFF (I even blocked power menu from lock screen using an app called SMART LOCKSCREEN PROTECTOR) and most people don't know that u can reboot phone by holding the power button for 10 seconds, so we're pretty safe here
Profile3: when phone receives text saying "dnd", Tasker simply puts phone on do not disturb if u just want to track your phone using ANDROID DEVICE MANAGER from a PC or something
I have all of these profiles backed up, just give me ur email and I'll happily send to you
And if u need any more explanation don't hesitate to ask.

I have created a project called '[PROJECT] Anti-Theft System'.
Please, help us to make it bigger, so if you can post your settings on there. . .

I have created a similar anti-theft protection like 'ziko900' that talks us on this thread.
Check out --> '[PROJECT] Anti-Theft System'
I also have one but only one profile and one task, it's all there but it lacks the ringer lock (in fact, mine does not make a noice except for the incomming message but i like the ringer lock idea).
It does ceveral checks on the different states of the GPS, Mobile Data and Wifi and turns them on accordingly. Then waits a while (for the GPS to get a fix), then gets the location and checks this against the last known one.
If the GPS get's a fix, the data is stored in variables, then it does the same for the mobile data location and then collects Wifi data.
Then this data is verified against the last known position and an SMS is generated which contains all this data (if it can't get a GPS or Mobile Data fix it also mentions this in the SMS) including battery level, active provider and all Wifi data it can get.
Then the SMS is send and then the phone is put back into it's previous state it was in (this last part is done to not interfere with other profiles i have currently running and for testing purposes).
I would like to include a bit more into this profile but that's for later.
Due to all the waiting and the timeouts in getting the location data, it can take up to 10 mins before a return SMS is received.
Now, it only works decently when you can get a GPS or Mobile Data fix. Otherwise the data returned isn't much of any value. Same goes for all those find my phone apps. If they don't get a location fix, they are not able to track your phone.

I have recently started using Tasker and I'm amazed at some of the things it can do (no root) and I'd be grateful for the profiles for dnd as I could definitely use it. If u have any other profiles u think are cool I will check them out. So far all I have it doing is using greenify to hibernate automatically and linking to my usual WiFi networks etc. Still trying to work out how to change to my WiFi when I lose my mobile data connection at home (for WiFi calling)
Can u send me the link my email [email protected]
Awesome

I love it man . the way you have backed up your phone for anti theft , thats amazing ..
If you can send me that backup on my email address - [email protected] , i would really appreciate that
Great Work
Can you please send me the link at
[email protected]
I really appreciate your work. Please send me your profiles.. [email protected]
Any way to send a sms to predefined number in case the SIM gets changed automatically?
That would be the best anti theft plugin as the thief firstly throws the old SIM away. Which actually renders these plugins useless.
send me also
my email id is [email protected]
What if the thief changed the SIM card? Or what if the thief removed the SIM card? What is your suggestion in that case?
Hi please send it to me [email protected]
Kindly forward me the link.

Realizing this is 6 months old now, But i'd be interested to take a look
Dear friends,
I would like the incoming call (while the phone is not in use) to appear as a popup or at least allow me to ignore it.
For now, if the note8 is not in use, the incoming call takes full screen and prevent any activity until I reject or answer it. This issue is extremely annoying as I just want to be able to ignore the call = put in background etc. and let's say unlock the phone with fingerprint and open home screen to check notifications etc.
I could not find any app which allows this option, any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Just press the home button. The phone app will be minimized while the phone is still ringing. You can then do other things on the phone.

My issue with pressing the Home button is that it also dismisses anything that I'm working on. I'm sometimes in the middle of a lovely YouTube video or movie when I get these annoying calls that I can always return at a later time. I want the thing I'm looking at presently to remain on-screen and continue to function as normal. Incoming calls disrupt Whatsapp voice notes I'm recording and Camera videos I'm recording with the native camera app.
