The new Google Voice

Is it slow or is it just me?
I get a text and when I launch it, there is a lag. Didn't happen before i updated it.
anyone else experience this

Noticed that as well, do you have the widgets installed. Going to try and take them off and see if that helps.

Yes! Smh, and it made other apps even lag for as long as I had it open smh.
Delivered by Aftashok's Captivate and the good people at Roc Nation Records

My phone is rooted, lag fix, sideloadable.
Using launcherpro. Only have beautiful widget and a twitter widget. Nothing that should create this lag. Will contact google soon.
Thanks people. Good to know I'm not the only one.

Sideload google voice
What is the point of sideloading GV? It is free already...

its the problem with google voice new version. i reverted to the older version using titanium backup, and i got it back to it speed. the newer version is causing the lag!
this is the version i had backed up and restored to: 0.4.0.12 (this is the version prior to the current one)

I updated mine as well a few days ago and I also notice the lag. Its pretty bad as far as I can tell. When I start typing, the cursor just sits there and a few seconds later the words appear. The app launch is pretty slow as well compared to the last version.
Does anyone have the old version .apk file they can send me?

I have the old .apk, would you like me to email it to you? Don't know how to post it...

Glad to know I'm not the only one! I hadn't used it much, and started using it after the update and noticed the same lag. Hopefully Google can fix it soon...

Same here, its embarrassing how slow it is to open from the program or the widget.

Could one of you upload or send me the older .apk as well please? I would much appreciate it. This lag is ridiculous!

Can I get the old google voice apk too? I never used the old one but the version i have now is HORRIBLY SLOW!

Could I get the old Google Voice .apk file PMed or emailed to me too? Thanks!

I could have sworn I posted this earlier. Am I not allowed to post links to an upload? This is a free app...I uploaded version 0.4.0.12 here: http://drop.io/jm3dxje
Thanks to graveheart_82 for emailing it to me.

This is awesome guys. I noticed that as well. I'm running cognition rom and it's fast as hell except when running gv. Glad to know i'm not the only one and thx guys for providing the .apk for the a good version.

Really glad that I bumped into this thread, the lag was driving me crazy. Thanks for posting the previous version.

Dungeon Hunter free from Gameloft

Wanted to make sure everyone knew about this. Link can be found via their twitter acct. Sadly at&t doesn't want us to have it. I'm sure there might be an easier way, but I will probably flash a quick galaxy s rom and see if it will let me pick it up that way. Anyone else interested in getting this? Or if you know an easier way of getting it please let me know.

Thanks for the heads up.

I can't get the game either, on an AT&T Captivate in Canada.

Yeah I have been trying different phones etc this morning to get it. I put my phone as the Droid on their page and put in my phone number. It sent me the download link but when I clicked it, It said no downloads are available for your phone. I am trying to find a way around this ... grrrrrr.

If you try to download it from the WAPStore with a Captivate Rom it will say its not available for your device..
Right above that message is the option to change your device.. lol
Amazingly simple work around. Just change your device to a Vibrant and bada bing. You got game.
EDIT: 181mb file must be downloaded after you download the initial 4.something or ruther mb apk

Same here. Lotta people also saying what's floating around out there won't work on our Galaxy S phones.

it works fine one cyanogen, i dont know if i can post the apk?? i dont think i can do that legally since its not gonna be free for long..

Worked!!! Perfect. Now to see if this thing will actually run on this phone ... should cause its a fellow galaxy s but ya never know....

Interesting ... It doesnt seem to recognize internal storage. It says 182 MB free space required on external SD and the screen only has 2 buttons ... retry or cancel. I have abour 6 gb free so hmmm ... maybe it's time to pony up for that expansion space.

Killer find, thanks for sharing!
didn't have a problem getting it with di11igaf's rom, well cause its awesome lol

Make sure your user agent is set to android.
What's with the SMS permissions?

Please, I know I am not reading this. Gameloft actually has done it right because they KNOW ATT app locks their phones so that is why they don't allow it. Imagine if they allowed you to spend the $5 to buy the game, only to find out you couldn't install it, you would be even more mad.
Needless to say there IS a fix as I installed it on my phone right now. You do NOT have to have a special rom to do it either, this is all you need
Requirements:
Phone rooted (got to market and get "One click Lag Fix" does it easliy)
App unlocked or sideload capable
If you have done that go to this post and read this thread. I am also attaching the apk for this, just in case if no one wants to bother with the stuff below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819721
What you want to do is change the build.prop. PLEASE MAKE COPIES of your original before you overwrite it. That really is your only goal for reading that thread.
Changing the build.prop makes the phone look like the i9000 which Gameloft will allow you to install the app. After the app has downloaded and installed. Copy the original build.prop over again and reboot your phone. You must reboot your phone each time you overwrite the file. Hope this helps.
I figured it is a useful trick to know as know it will have helped me for the 2nd time.

Or you can use the Android Central sideload wonder machine ... it works! Did it earlier

Still a fail... http://twitter.com/gameloft one tweet they say it works, the next no, this has NOTHING to do with rooting or anything else, it is a pure case of bad marketing and failing to do their research...

I managed to get it, they say they were having problems. This morning when I tried it sent me a text to site but I didn't think you could change the phone from there. I tried a minute ago and changed phone to vibrant and all is good.
Be sure to check back on their site. They will have more coming out through Christmas, but the links only stay up for about a day. Some days its iPhone while others will be for Android.

S voice issues on Note 2

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a strange issue. S-voice does not work for me on the GG using a recently updated (4.3 stock rom) Note 2. What I mean is that every time I try to use S-voice a highly distorted voice says "I didn't catch that", regardless of what I say. I tested the device on my gf's Note 3 and it works fine. As such, there are no issues with the GG device, per se. So, I continued to troubleshoot and figured it was my Note 2 S-voice that is the problem. I was thinking that since I installed the G4 s-voice, which worked fine on my Note 2, this might be the cause. I uninstalled S-voice on my phone and tried to run S-voice on the GG. The watch gave me a message stating I needed to install S-voice on my phone. When I looked at my phone it took me to the Samsung app store with the S-voice app ready to download. I installed the app from the app store on my phone and tried again. Same problem. I don't know how to fix this. So, I was wondering if anyone else is having a similar issue. Here is my info.
sgh317m (Canada)
Stock rom 4.3
rooted phone
official s-voice
If I forgot any pertinent details, please let me know.
Thank you everyone in advance.

Omg, same issue here, i317m on Rogers, stock rooted note 2, 4.3 and for the life of me s - voice doesn't work! Same exact issue! I thought I forgot how to s - voice lol!!

I'd be curious to know if you also loaded the S4 s-voice or have you always been using the default version? I noticed Samsung updated the app for the Note 2 in the app store, but I'm not sure if my upgrading unofficially may have cause any issues such, as no longer being a system file? I'm not sure. Such knowledge is beyond me.
Hopefully, a wise soul will enlighten us.

No s4 s - voice... Just stock note 2 s - voice. So, really, it should work as is. Apart from a complete Odin and reroot, I dunno.

Fair to assume you never had an issues with s-voice? I seem to recall when I first put s-voice on my SGS II I had a similar experience to current predicament, but I'm not sure what resolved it.

I've never had an issue at all with s - voice.

Hey guys... found this thread on Google. This was the only note 2 s voice issue with GG that I've found so it's reassuring (unforunately) that this is a common issue...
I have a stock note 2. No mods or anything... s voice does not work at all on galaxy gear. Works 100% brilliantly on the note 2... it's a garbled mess of "I didnt catch that" on the Gear. I've tried everything and I have no accent (just a normal Canadian, eh ; ) lol. ... but of the million commands I gave that are in the "?" Icon as legit 'things to say' it did not once do anything but say "I didnt catch that"....
...I hope Samsung is aware of this and fixes it... lol... I returned a watch and said it was defective already hahaha.

Hi I am using a Bell Note 2 with the GG and have no problems with s-voice but I am using the Skynote RC9z 4.3 custom Rom. I am interested to know is anyone on the stock bell having the issue? If so I could flash back to stock and see what happens. Also anyone on stock having issues with the GG weather app? mine keeps telling me to set the city on the device widget but it is set. Funny thing though when I ask svoice on the watch what the weather is like it has no problem telling me.

Mine is unlocked from Rogers and am using it on Koodo. Of course I installed the Rogers rom. My weather app works fine unless I use s voice.
I've been playing with the language settings (switching between Samsung and Google) and I got s voice to work 4 whole times but not successively. Maybe someone else could mess about as well?

I'm on bell. Stock note 2. S voice isn't working.

Im Glad that this is happening to a few people, as i was thinking my watch was defective -
I ended up calling SAMSUNG about this and they had no clue of course, so i explained 'our' issue and they have opened a case -

Defiantly going to make that call - I tested out my Galaxy Gear with my Wife's S4, worked no problem, so...it sounds more like a Note 2 issues.

Okayyyy... i talked to samsung Canada support... they said that they're aware of an issue with the 4.3 update. I had already mentioned that i returned a watch already. He made it clear "there's nothing wrong with your hardware... it was an error in the update" ... He said to wait a few days and call back, they'll likely have a solution or at least more information on a coming solution.

Just to be clear, I called the number below and ended up talking with some guy in the Caribbean.

Customer support is available 7 days a week, 365 days of the year.
He looked around and couldn't find anything pertaining to my complaint.
If you guys call and they have no idea, try referring them to the CASE # 2123030231 and see what they say -
I'm planning on calling back next week even though the rep told me not to expect anything to happen for at least a month or so.

Here's a fun fact. I called Samsung Canada today and the rep said he can't find that case number. He went on to say that there are no known issues with using the GG and note 2. Really brightened my day.

Ok I have now flashed a Rogers and a Bell stock on my note 2 both have the same issue s-voice sounds like its underwater and says it cant understand me but if I flash the SkyNote 9z custom ROM based off the AT&T 4.3 update the watch s-voice works just fine. I tried decompiling some of the relevant APKs and JARs and it seems that there are differences in the implementation of the Bluetooth.apk but flat swapping that file crashes BT services and I am not skilled enough to figure out how to correct the issue via programming.
I am headed back to SkyNote at least till they fix this.

I might be wrong but do you think this has something to do with 4.3 rom using LE BT whereas 4.1 had BT?
I was just curious what might happen if we installed the BT apk from 4.1. Would s voice work? Or am I way off?

[Q] AT&T Tech support just offered to remote access my device,

Did anyone else know about this option? How do we disable such a thing? Seems pretty invasive.

I had it done on my M8. They have to send you a link to the app, and you have to install it, they can't just do it without your permission.
The app will also block any access to keyboard (when they used it, I had to type everything and it specifically states that all access to the screen is currently blocked when typing anything), it basically just lets them use the device a bit, and check some settings to make sure everything is proper.
Just uninstall the app after, and done.

If it was new device, I don't see how they would do that unless they were going to use ATT Locker (which I hate). If to external, then it's just a setting in the phone that'll move everything to the external.
Still, she would have to ask for your permission, which she did. I wouldn't worry about it, they can't get that data anyway.

I called att once when I had my s4. However I had that phone so locked down even they couldn't get a connection established. When they would try to connect they would get a rejection message and my phone would force close the app. They use this to trouble shoot our phones when we call support. They ask you to accept a text link which grants them control of your phone. What you see they see. I do not like this because they can see notifications like text messages in the status bar. You will also be asked to install an apk. I don't like this idea because I have private information on my phone. But someone who is not very literate with phones may need this type of support to fix their phone malfunctions.

Not giving choice of "Just Once" and "Always"

As the title said, the phone doesn't give me the choice of always or just once, there's only a menu and I can click the app that automatically becomes the "default" app... It sucks as I need to save a pdf from Outlook to One Drive to then open it in write pdf but it won't since one drive is the default app and I don't get the choice...
How do I fix that??

Experiencing the same.. Any fix? And the menu button [(long-press) back button] sometimes doesn't work well.

I don't think you can "fix" it but you can undo the default by going to settings then applications then going into default applications and clearing that apps default.

I hate this "feature" depending on what I am doing I always want to use different apps to open files. Come on Samsung (or Google) fix this. I think it is Samsung as I had a G4 and had the option on my G4

Kinda fixed it by using Better Open With from the play store...

I got the 5.1.1 s6 edge update just this morning and it didnt give me a choice, just chose a permanent option just like on note 5 that i got this afternoon. You can always reset defaults, but once you open a link in an app with a specific app, dont you want to keep that choice for the future? I don't mind the change

This is frustrating! I'm going to check out that app. I'm commenting to be a part of this thread for future fixes.

The problem in note 5 . I have note 4 with lollipop 5.1.1 and has no problem
I hate the disappearance of (just once and always) option that i used frequently, hope to fix it in next update

You can go into default apps and clear it. Then choose your app when you open that file. Or, use ES File Explorer to open as. There's no problem with the phone. There cut out unnecessary crap, which I think is better. That screen would always come up and piss people off. Haha.

There's no fix for this, at least for now, I talked with Samsung Customer support they did like that to "please their customers" (I don't understand); it's not a lollipop issue, other models like core prime and others with 5.1.1 still ask always or just once, it's really frustrating, but even more frustrating is to find people out there that is happy with this change, ''unnecessary crap'' they call it, since they do not know how to use their phones looks like they want everybody else to suffer, it's so simple if you do not like it! just click ALWAYS and leave the rest of the people that use their phones for more than just calls, chat and listen to music to keep using our amazing JUST ONCE and let us be happy!!!!, what else we will have to take from Samsung?
NO SD CARD SWAP
NO WATER PROOF
NO BATTERY SWAP
COPYCAT DESIGN
EAR PHONES PLUG AT THE BOTTOM
AND NOW THEY TOOK OUR OPTION TO CHOOSE!!!!
this company it's going backwards or what?

this happened on my note 4 as well with 5.1.1.
the change was completely unnecessary, as people could just click "always" if they wanted. why remove the option?
but for those of us who open diff links in diff apps depending on the context. we are screwed?
has anyone found a fix?

Don't call unnecessary crap to such a smart option just because you only use your cellphone just for chat and Facebook navigation, it's very simple, it's just two options and by simply clicking ALWAYS!!! you can be happy! and leave the rest of us, those who really use our cellphones as smart devices enjoy our freedom to CHOSE!!! and let us be happy with our choice that we miss so much ''JUST ONCE''.

There's no fix for this, at least for now, I talked with Samsung Customer support they did like that to "please their customers" (I don't understand); it's not a lollipop issue, other models like core prime and others with 5.1.1 still ask always or just once, it's really frustrating, but even more frustrating is to find people out there that is happy with this change, ''unnecessary crap'' they call it, since they do not know how to use their phones looks like they want everybody else to suffer, it's so simple if you do not like it! just click ALWAYS and leave the rest of the people that use their phones for more than just calls, chat and listen to music to keep using our amazing JUST ONCE and let us be happy!!!!, what else we will have to take from Samsung?
NO SD CARD SWAP
NO WATER PROOF
NO BATTERY SWAP
COPYCAT DESIGN
EAR PHONES PLUG AT THE BOTTOM
AND NOW THEY TOOK OUR OPTION TO CHOOSE!!!!
this company it's going backwards or what?

If you hate the phone so much, why did you buy it? Relax man, it is what it is. You yelling here isn't going to change anything.

Exactly... Sell it on swappa and move on if you hate it so much...

You can go into default apps and clear it. Then choose your app when you open that file. Or, use ES File Explorer to open as. There's no problem with the phone. There cut out unnecessary crap, which I think is better. That screen would always come up and piss people off. Haha.

You shouldn't give useless advises, I would if I could, first I have to wait up to 6 months for another swap and second I can't sell it for the price that I paid for the phone which it's dropping very quickly.
Luckily it's not all over and this app will fill the emptiness in the heart of those who miss the liberty of CHOOSING, the app "Better Open With" will make your life easier, it worked for me and don't ask for any information.

Thanks for this app. Just noticed this same issue on my S7 and sometimes I use different browsers for search. So having to go in and clear out the default each time wouldnt have been cool. I like how the app has a countdown and pause as well. Great suggestion.
