Ok I usually am good at fixing things like this or searching it out but this has been a fail.
I'm using nova launcher on my s5. I'm trying to set the home button long press to the standard "voice search"
Every method I have tried results in failure and I get the same result: google search will pop up... but it's not voice ready. It's just sitting there with the "say "ok google" search screen.
I'm trying to accomplish the result of selecting voice search from app tray.
Basically I want a hands free option almost for the long press without saying ok google
Seems simple enough..... but not

Something happened to my tab's screen a while ago, where I sent it back to replace it with a new screen, but during the repairment, due to the carelessness of Samsung's employee, something happened to the search button, now the search button autostarts itself from time to time, before I deleted the voice search apk, voice search comes out by itself with vibrations repeatedly, after I deleted the voice search apk, what comes out in the same way is google search...and after I deleted google search apk and turn off the vibration, the screen would come to a state of nonresponse to any operation from time to time....
I hope there's an application which I could use to disable the search button, as I don't really use it at all, or if there's any file I could delete in the android system to do this, I am reallt tired of sending it back to samsung, which would again mean one to two months' waiting....anybody please help...
Seems nobody is willing to help here...really disappointed....

I can't say for sure but if you are running a different rom (I'm running CM7) there may be an option to disable the button... under CM7 I have an option for search key behavior, I can tell it to run a custom app, leave custom app blank and it does nothing when I press it... not sure if this helps but its a shot in the dark...
SGT+CM7=AWESOMENESS!!!
Our nexus have search button which used to search within the running application, for eg, in music player if we press search button it used to search for songs in that player, but this feature is not available in 4.1. Wherever we are, pressing search button opens Google now! Does anyone know how to reassign that button to search within app only, and long pressing to open Google now??????

not everything requires a mod. just press the search and type your song/artist/album name. dont press go. let it filter and it will give you your results. if you press go, it will search the web and you have to select phone from the bottom ribbon.
make sure you have enabled google now --> settings--> phone search --> play music
somethings just need a bit of understanding
I think the best behavior is the original one, search in the app that is opened. I hate when I am in the browser and I click the search and google nows opens. The same happens in all apps like gmail app, I press to search an email and bye bye the apps goes away. I don't really care if galaxy nexus don't have this button. We do and so we should get some advantage of it.
Kind regards
I just picked up an era and the only thing I don't like about it is the long press of the function button brings up voice dial, but the native program it opens is svoice. At first I thought that would be ideal, but it take literally 5 seconds before I can speak a name. I would much rather have the function button open gnow.
How do I change this?

I have both the Jawbone Era and Big Jambox. Unfortunately, I never set up any voice dialing. Maybe it's something you can change if you connect the Era to the PC and open it up in MyTalk.
I know if you delete s voice then Google voice search comes up instead, does work better than s voice, just no voice texting feature

Ok now I have a new issue. The era will connect to phone, then to media, then instantly disconnects from media. I was playing music all day without issue, but now I can't get it to connect to media.
And no, I don't have cpu access currently so I can't connect it and check the my talk settings.
Any ideas?

I tried this but when I hit the push to talk button it just freezes and then shuts down?

I found an app called bluetooth launch from the play store (free) that allows me to assign any function I want to the smart button. I was able to assign google voice search but it's still clumsy. I think I'm gonna give svoice another shot, but the issue I have is that whenever I hit the button it takes like 7 seconds before it listens for my command.

I have gone through my AT&T Note 3 thoroughly and disabled most bloat.
I am finding the "My Magazine" app quite annoying due to single clicks of home button while on home screen and accidental upward swipes.
I have yet to figure out how to uninstall or disable it yet.
Does anyone know how?

I think until root is achieved if you cant disable it in app manager if you use a third party launcher it stops it from activating

Open My Magazine, hit your menu key, settings, you can turn off the option to open it via the home button... Unfortunately not with swipe up though. It seems like swiping is more difficult to open it anyway so it's less annoying.

is there any way to start the my magazine as an app and put on my home screen etc?
i cannot seems to find it in the app draw
I don't understand why they have this and flipboard. It is basically the same thing with a different interface and less customization.
It's annoying as hell for me because I already have flipboard as a damn widget. What's worse is you can't even put your flipboard account on there.

In a search on another thread to find a solution for getting to the home screen or home page without pressing the home button, user Dankchild provided this app:
Swipe Home Button Free
It creates a small area at the bottom of the screen where you can swipe up and it will take you home (or another custom action you set). You have to swipe from a little off the bottom of the screen up, and the magazine action is still there if you start on the screen, but since installing this and getting used to swiping from the bottom starting off the screen, I haven't opened the magazine application once. Not a fix but it is working great for me and killing two birds with one stone!
I'm looking for the same thing-a way to disable the stupid My Magazine swipe-up gesture. It's half baked and useless to me. Flipboard is much better and more customizable and I hate that the gesture is there at all in the stock launcher. There has to be a way around this somehow.
I went in to My Magazine and turned off the launch when pressing home button. Then with my phone rooted I froze it with titanium backup. Now if you swipe up from the bottom you get a little popup that says "No app found" or something like that. I have not found a way to get rid of that completely, maybe with that swipe up program listed above.
I also went into My Mag and disabled the button. Switched to NOVA launcher and now it doesnt activate if you swype up from the bottom of the screen...not sure if I did anything to disable it.

If you disable the apk it messes with the stock e-mail app for some reason. I spent days trying to figure out why until someone in another thread suggested I try unfreezing it. Now I haven't had any issues for about 3 days with the e-mail app.

Is this only with the stock e-mail (not gmail) app, or does it effect other stock apps too?

This happens on my VZ Note 3 as well. Don't understand what links them.

I read that this method is doing a fc whit the email apps
I am pretty disappointed with this. I was hoping I would not have to root the device.
You MUST agree to the Terms and Conditions / Privacy Policies to be able to "disable" the home button binding. If you force stop, clear data then the binding returns.
What was Samsung thinking when they thought they should FORCE everyone to use it or SUFFER the inconvenience...

Jokesonme gave you the answer! With that app you don't have to root and you can have it do nothing when you swipe or switch it to a different app.
Thanks jokesonme!!

Did not work for me. Even with installing the app and trying different bindings, it will either FC TouchWiz or go to the app not found screen in Google Play.
Sadface. Can't wait to put on a custom ROM without all the bloat.
This is horrible every like 20 minutes I'm gettin the error. I don't wanna root I wanna stick to stock.
Any other options?
If you're on KitKat 4.4 and go to your Google search app and type in "OK GOOGLE EVERYWHERE" without quotations then click search. Then back up one page. Go to search settings then voice you will now see the option to "manage voice" turn it on the click "agree". Then back in settings/voice click " hot word detection" and then keep checking every option and you will have to teach your voice by saying "OK GOOGLE" 3 times. Once completed you can say "OK GOOGLE" any where and search pops up. In any app it doesn't matter where. And you don't have to be on the Google Now Launcher. Check it out. Its pretty cool.
I noticed after enabling that I cannot use the camera to record. It says "cannot start recording while other application is using audio".
Fresh 4.4.2 from the back to stock guide no root just a fresh phone.

Oh wow. So that's why I'm getting that error too. It never dawned on me that's what it was. Cool. Well not really that sucks. I've got the google now launcher on there too. I'm gonna try it. See if same results
The video recorder still doesn't work with the Google Now Launcher. I downloaded from Google market the "Google Camera" and it works. Video, still pick , and sound during playback. With the Google Now launcher. I haven't tried it on stock launcher.
Sweet I'm going to check that out.
