It does work perfectly but it's odd that it's filtered out of the Market. You still have to side load it.

can someone post a 3.1 friendly apk here for us then ?
danka
where are you downloading the apk from??
I just downloaded it to my phone and grabbed it for my xoom.

so your saying google voice installs as long as we sideload it?
This doesn't surprise me, since the issue with Google Voice was the same issue as the Facebook Widget and that works too.
It seems Google relaxed the API a bit with regards to null intents
I just back it up to my drop box.. here's the link if you want to download it

so i thought i would be able to get msg's on my tablet and my phone but when i setup my sprint number with gvoice i stop getting msg's on my phone and only get them on gvoice on the tablet
you can also get apps directly on your xoom by downloading from amazon app store. there's a ton of apps that work fine but missing from the market. and you don't have to go through putting the app on your phone then moving to your xoom, and you will get updates.
Yeah, found this out last week. Unfortunately, push notifications are STILL not enabled (you still have to select a polling interval).

I figured 15mins was the best compromise.
One thing I did was change my Voice Notification E-mail from my default account to my GMail account, which means I at least get instantaneous notifications, but even still that's a hack.
FFS Google- you can't make this whole?!
Confirmed. It works perfectly. Thanks for the heads up.

Umm' stupid question I'm sure but here goes...
If I install the voice from your dropbox does it replace the Google voice on the xoom? As in no more video calls, or does this just add capability to use the calling features? I'm so confused..

Yes I am. Might be the polling interval but I uninstalled it until there is a fix or an official release
Hi there. I am throughougly enjoying my Xperia Z (an upgrade from iPhone 5). The only thing I miss from iPhone was that while I was riding my bike, I would be able to speak to Siri and request her to play specific songs or artists for me on the go. I can't seem to get this feature to work on Android.
What I'm looking for: A feature that with the press of a button on a handset/headset enables you to talk to your phone and request it to play a song.
Can this be done?
Thanks.
Does Voice Search do it?

Yea, android version of Siri is Google now, you can easily access it sliding with your finger from home button down your screen to the any place on top.

Plus one for Google now Def plays songs, videos,answers questions,checks calender,sets reminders,makes calls,emails,texts,really everything siri does but not as much personality plus the cards are useful and it seams as each update improves it

I use Robin - the Siri Challenger. Check the play store for it.
Thanks so much for your feedback, everyone. I recall having issues getting the android default voice assistant to play me music on the go. Can anyone 100 % confirm any voice assistant (default or otherwise) being able to playback music by vocal command?

Second this, is not the same nice voice I had on my one x. Is there a way to change or download a different module?

Supposedly, should go to settings - controls - language and input - text-to-speech (TTS) options - Samsung TTS engine and press configure cog. Then install voice data and download high quality voice female, but it doesn't do anything (in my case just a popup window that says it will download and nothing else happens). Can you please check this on your device also? It might be a software bug

You have to have Samsung apps enabled.

I did that too and mine downloaded but still Samsung voice. On Google map it used to be more human voice .

Yup, same here. I want the Google voice, not the HD samsung voice.
I have this problem on my Huawei P6, and from doing reseach I believe it's the TTS. If you look at under language and input, there is no Google-Text-To-Speach engine, but instead just the Samsung one.
I still couldn't find a way to download (or where to download the app for that matter) the Google TTS engine.
I hope some can figure this out, because that Samsung voice is really annoying. The funny thing is, Google Now have the correct voice/sound.

in the text to speech menu under advanced samsung has HD voice downloads and they all sound really good. and there free
I took a peek on the link provided as far as a work around for this issue/annoyance, and seems like a lot of work.
Anyway, I've found an easier solution. You have to be rooted and have Titanium backup. Not sure if it will for everyone, but it sure works on my phone.
All I did was freeze the Samsung TTS engine, and like a miracle my Google maps now sounds wonderful (it use the Google voice/speech) now.
Let me know if this works for you guys.
I'm happy now.

If you do this then when using navigation it will not say the name of the streets. It will only say turn right in 1000 feet.

Saying the street names is basic functionality. The omission is inexcusable.

Google's map navigation function is pretty better than apple's. It shouldn't be lead you to lost at a different location.
Looks like the latest Google Search update is testing always listening (lock screen, apps) for OK Google Hotword detection. Only for "certain accounts" at the moment though.
with Search 3.5 installed, certain Google accounts are now able to use “OK Google” Hotword detection in any screen, including the lock screen and third-party apps. Unfortunately, this feature is only available on a few accounts at the moment, but hopefully the rollout continues quickly.

I guess your account isn't one of the few.
Do you guys think it is just random accounts, or would these account holders know ahead of time that they have these special permissions? I'm assuming it's for accounts which signed up for some beta testing.
You are right. It might be for early beta testers.

Started working for me as soon as I installed the apk. Haven't done anything special as such to get it. You can get the hotword detection working from settings. Basically, it works exactly like a moto x except it doesn't work when the phone is both not being charged and also the screen is off. Waiting for custom hotwords now, "OK Google" seems kinda lame.
I read that it's being released in waves to different users and you also have to be on the latest Google play services 5.* But it is being rolled out in a back end search update in waves, few reports of users already having it.

I guess my account is part of "the few"??? I went to Google Settings -> Voice -> "OK Google" Detection and saw a few extra options including detect anywhere. Ticked those options and worked great even on Nova Launcher with Nova's native OK Google feature DISABLED.
I was watching an Android wear video on YouTube on my phone and with this turned on when the person in the video said "OK google" my phone heard it and tried to search.

Haha it's the "XBOX ON" issue all over again. I think maybe it should stop listening when the speaker is outputting sound since they're right next to each other.

1. Wrong forum
2. Use touch less controls and choose the phrase "okay, Google" or anything instead of trying to use Google. It'll save the headache.
Edit: I believe it's called moto voice now.
