Can't find Ivona for S7E, worked fine on N7! - T-Mobile Note 7 Questions & Answers

Anyone else downgrade to the S7E? I had Ivona text to speech on my N7, but it's not compatible with the S7E? Is this right?

It looks as though Ivona has been pulled from Google PlayStore. I just loaded it from Titanium Backup onto a "new" Nexus 7 but it was unable to download the voice data. Looking on PlayStore it has vanished!

I can't find it on the Market either. Not on my Galaxy S (with JG5) or even on my Nexus One (though the Nexus One has it built in by default).
I thought Google and Samsung were including this in the Galaxy S by default - even the Google Blog states voice search is built in with the SGS and N1.
I'll try the apk that was posted earlier in the thread.
An alternative is also the free version of vlingo in the Samsung App Market. Same app as the $9.99 Market version, and it includes some nifty features such as reading incoming emails and texts out loud while in the car.

Thanks for posting the link. It works for me as well with JG5 firmware.
I also note that Paul at MoDaCo includes the voice search as an option in his MCR for SGS. You might be able to extract just the apk somehow from that.
Interesting for me that the Google Voice recognition is far INferior to the vlingo voice recognition accuracy. Both pale in comparison to the Nuance Dragon Dictate app on the iPhone.

google voice

Hey guys, I was wondering if there was a googlevoice workaround to activate the account on the gtab. It wants to send a txt msg but ofcorse it can't send one cause its not a phone. I've setup slipdroid but it wont register but shows my account when I go to pbx.org was wondering if maybe cause my googlevoice account on this tab couldn't finish setting up. Thanks
Matt
you have to update to the newest release then there is no problems
To follow up on what b3ltazar said, you may need to do the market fix in order to see google voice in the market. After the fix you will see google voice and can do the update. It will work after doing the update.
I have the new market. Running vegan 5.1 I tried the market fix but for some reason I never have and cashe when I got to allocations. Manage and tap on market. Why is this? Google voice is no where to be found in my market. Does anyone have the apk?
Thanks

I have it working... The workaround was to take the google voice on my phone, make a Titanium backup, copy those files over to the tab, and restore through Titanium backup as well. Afterwords, when you start voice, it walks you through the setup process and when it gets to the part trying to find the phone just back out of everything.
I've done this a couple times and it worked pretty well. You can text IF you have a google voice number.
Good luck!

That isn't really necessary anymore. Just update to the latest in the market, make sure the phone number you choose in Google voice has been added to your Google voice account, and text away...
If you don't see it in the market. Then you need to study up on market fixes. It is there in my market using vegaN Beta 5.1 and works fine. I use it everyday to talk to my kids..
I have it and it works great. Love texting from my g tablet

Slightly off-topic: Google Voice, and voice calls from Gtab, and in general?
Hi,
I have a Gmail and Google Voice account, and I guess that one thing that I've never quite understood is what Google Voice is, or is suppose to do, esp. vis-a-vis voice calls.
When I first got signed up for it, and when I'm in Google Voice (on a PC), I know that I can initiate a "voice call", but from what I can tell, the way that that works is that when you do a voice call from Google Voice, you tell it the number that you want to call (the "called number"), then Google Voice calls that called number, and calls you back on your REGULAR phone number. In other words, if the number that I have configured in Google Voice for myself is xxx-xxx-xxxx, when I initiate a call to yyy-yyy-yyyy, I get an incoming call on xxx-xxx-xxxx.
Then, awhile ago, Google announced that you could call from your Gmail account, and I was really surprised when I tried that. When I was in Gmail, I initiated a call to xxx-xxx-xxxx, and, I was able to talk to the called party ON MY PC, i.e., kind of like a "Skype out" phone call.
So, now that I have my Gtab, I was wondering: Is it possible to do the latter thing from my Gtab, i.e., to call a real phone number (xxx-xxx-xxxx) from my Gtab, and talk to that real phone via my Gtab, totally over Wifi on my end?
I've seen some posts and info about setting up sipdroid and pbx something or other, but I'm wondering if it's possible to do with just some combination of Google Voice app and Gmail app on the Gtab?
Thanks,
Jim
What version of Google Voice works for stock rom?
I have the same problem as many in this and 2 other threads.
Unable to get Google voice app to fully install. Does it only install / work on an UNstock gtab?
I can go to google voice in the browser and sent and receive texts, fine. But of course then you get no notification when messages come in.
As I said, I am runnning stock gtab, no mods. I was able to search and found Google voice in the gmarket but it gave me choices to sms or download to phone, or pc. I chose PC.
I click on install and at the screen where it asks for number confirmation, I select my cell phone, it returns error can not verify the number. (it is the same number I used to originally setup the gvoice on pc). I can not get past the voicemail setup page either, skip doesn't work and then back won't work and I am locked up.
There are so many great threads on this forum, but it seems many repeated questions because they remain unanswered, or perhaps there are so many version of tabs, the problems and solutions are ROM specific.
Its almost like we need sub forums, if running this, search here...

Do you have the market on your tablet? If yes, then update google voice and it should let you finish the setup.

I appreciate your reply.
a few questions:
1. is you tab rooted?
(I am reading like crazy to get all this, but there is so much! I thought TB only works on rooted units, but not sure if it requires a certain rom)
2. which rom are you running?
If I ever get this, I'm going to create a matrix: root - rom - apps - working y/n
(former career = ui testing / documenting)

I have gmarket, no mods.
I go to market and see no "updates"
I searched for, and installed google voice, no luck.
I will go back and look up installing gapps, I seem to recall it requires some mods first and that is what I was trying to avoid until I am sure I want to keep the unit.
I am on the fence. I never realized how (don't boo me) "hooked on windows I am" I love my android phone, but when it comes to the things I like to do on a bigger screen, as much as I love the touch feature, I really am so much more productive on a laptop. I'm sure its a learning curve, and I LOVE playing with new technology - and this sight is LOADED with all you need to know about the tab. But I am a step by step person and I feel like I am spending more time searching than learning.
Its just me .. kudo's to all the folks that help and dev here .. its a very amazing team!

Sorry for the delay in repsonding, I didn't have this thread tagged to notify me of replies.
Been busy messing with the new CM7 Beta for the Gtab.
Ok so, answers:
1) Yes my tab is rooted, the stock OS out of the box sucked the big dill pickle. I was rooted and customed within two hrs of taking it out of the box.
2) After messing around with the five or so availale ROMS, I decided to make the VEGAn 5.1 beta my daily driver, it and TnT lite are the most stable IMHO, I chose VEGAn over TnT because the news and weather genie was absent from TnT and the VEGAn web browser offer much more flexibility as far as options go. I'm a news junkie!
Also the On-Screen soft keys on the notification bar [HOME, MENU, and BACK] are fantastic additions since the keys on the device don't light up, which makes it real [email protected]%# when using the device in a poorly lighted room.
3) As for TB, it is my understanding it will only work with rooted devices.
4) It is also my understanding that TB will work with MOST Android devices and most ROMS whether stock or customed. YES TB will work with stock OS ROMS provided the device is rooted. And yes it is possible to Root your device WITHOUT unlocking the BOOTLOADER, both my N1 and GTAB are rooted via this method. N1 with Universal Androot and my GTAB with Z4root.

I don't have many people to call and those I do call i prefer video, but i have placed a few Skype calls on the Gtab and it works just fine for voice. Doesn't give the option for video, almost like it doesn't recognize the camera. i tried Fring and when i go to do a test call it makes a hideous noice and i have to force shut down the app. So for voice Skype is great.
Google Voice in the Market.
For those who after the market fix are still unable to find the google voice app, here is what I found. There are 3 different fingerprints floating around. When I could not find voice in the marketplace I started experimenting with the diffrerent fingerprints, and to my surprise each one gives different search results, with diffrerent apps available / missing. On my tab, with the samsung Tab fingerprint I was able to locate the google voice app, but with the standard mahimahi 2.2 i could not

Thanks for the heads up!
So the fingerprint is changed via build.prop edit?
Would either one of these mess up the VS GTab?

All the standard disclaimers re: blowing up your tablet etc. are all still in effect. however the fingerprint method significantly improves the plain vanilla clear market cache fix, at least on my tab. YMMV

Are you rooted? I am and when I went though the initial account setup the Google Voice app was one of the optional apps to install.
Currently getting freeze-ups during voice mail options... gonna check some other versions. Can someone confirm this as well? I'm running Vega 5.1 beta
I have been running vegan 5.1 and have been able to get it to work before but just re flashed back to vegan from adam and I am now stuck on setting up voicemail screen too.
Edit: I just restored it back with titanium backup and its working fine now. Maybe its needs a newer version from the market. Maybe you can try sideloading the new version.

If it's the page I'm thinking about there should be a "Skip" button there, that will finish up the setup and you can finish setting your voice mail options via a web browser and manage GV settings through the account settings page of your google acount.
From a browser Upper right hand corner of your google page.
Account Settings > Voice > Voice Settings.
From there you can record a voice mail for your callers to hear when they call.
Bunch of options there.
i tried setting up the options on my pc but it didnt work. it still freezes at that point. and when i hit the skip button it just freezes.
can you upload the apk you used yujikaido79?

How do you make phone call using Google Voice?
Works on vegan expirimental froyo.
bluetooth with voice?
So if I was to be able to get Voice on my gtab would there be a way to make and recieve phonecalls with a bluetooth headset?
Unless something has changed, Google is not VOIP, so no, you can't make calls with it. You can still text with it, as well as check your voicemail, which are the two things I use it for on the tab.
I have google voice app on my Gtab, and it works... but I can't find my contact list to send texts.... I am just stuck at my mailbox... can anyway explain to me what I am not doing correct?
Thanks!

Sometimes you just have to keep going back. It may close and you have to reopen it.
not sure if this is common news, but i just installed VEGAn 5.1 + the 5.1.1 supplement. i did the market fix documented several places (load market, clear cache, force stop, google framework, etc.) and was able to find google voice in the market. from there it allowed me to update, and once updated i could skip the voicemail setup as well. now everything is up and running fine.
google voice on GTab
I am running the vegan experimental, I side loaded in Google Voice. I know google voice is not voip but I was thinking of trying something along the lines of the google voice- sipgate trick people have been using for the Galaxy Tab. LifeHacker has an article describing what I want to do but they use a softphone on a pc, I am trying to achieve the same success via a sipgate app from the android market. I have read in other forums about people getting it to work on the Galaxy Tab. I was wondering if anyone has gotten it to work on the GTab. PS I would love to link the LifeHacker site but can't due to my noobness to this forum.
Actually I just got it to work so I can make and receive calls from my tablet. Will post some tips on how to get it to work later. Still working out the kinks.

I would be really interested in your guide or someone's elses on how to make calls with google voice.

[PSA] OK Google works with the screen off!

Just a PSA for all you guys. If you go into the google search settings, tap voice, enable audio history, then set up the OK google training, there's an option for having it listen when the screen is off.
This basically works by using s voice to set up the OK google command, then instead of launching s voice when the command is heard, it launches google now. It works pretty seamlessly and (as far as I can tell) as good as the Moto X.

[Q] Disable Moto Voice in favor of Google Now

Does anyone know of a way to disable Moto Voice and simply use the voice wake to activate Google Now? Perhaps via an Xposed module?
Moto Voice, in it's current iteration is too slow and not value added enough for me to prefer it over Google Now. Plus, if I hear "Opening Google" one more time, I'm going to go crazy.

it's pretty simple: open the Moto App, tap the Settings button on top right, tap the Voice button/icon and uncheck the Launch phrase. you might have to setup up voice activation on Google Now. like you i prefer Google Now for the time being. hope this was helpful.:good:

That will disable the voice wake. I'm looking for a way to jump straight into Google Now anytime I say my Moto Voice launch phrase.
OK, yeah that's different. Interpreted that you wanted to just go to Google Now. With my suggestion, saying "OK Google" takes you to Google Now (vs your moto launch phase).

Do you have the pure edition or carrier? Pure if you root there is a way to do it, if its carrier and locked you can't, sorry. Hopefully Lollipop will make it possible too, Nexus 6 has ambient display to rip off active display, and will use the always listening chip it has to act like moto voice, but built into google now.

Thanks! Now I need to figure out if I want to root my phone now or wait for L and Xposed to run on ART.
Lollipop is supposed to be able to do ok google from screen off with phones using the always listening chips. The nexus 6 and 9 are supposed to use it with theirs. I'm still hoping that our moto's well be able to use it as part of stock android so i don't have to use moto voice at all. Only i don't know if they intend to add custom phrase support, which i could stand losing. Though i concur about ART xposed, that i can't wait for.
