I recently updated to 2.3.6 and everything is great except Voice Talk. I know many of you know what I'm talking about. Double tapping home to bring up Voice Talk no longer works. Also, "Auto-start listening" does not work no matter if it is checked or unchecked in settings. There is not an option in the settings to toggle double tap on/off, I know the long press on search works but I use that feature for Sound Hound. Any suggestions?
If you found a double tap home on/off toggle in settings somewhere and you have 2.3.6 installed, please reply with a screen shot and tell me where you found it because I have looked everywhere and I don't see it.
Long hold the search capacitive button

few quick questions...
1. Is there a way to put a delay on the lockscreen once the screen timesout. I havent seen it in the settings (I try to use lockpro, but when I put a delay on it, it defaults to the phone lockscreen..any help with that?)
2. did the font choco..?? come on the skyrocket...How can i get. I did download the font app and it is not in there, nor the market
3. I could ask as many have, which is best, pandora iheartradio or slacker...or I could pick one that I like...Slacker. But more importantly, do any of them use less battery and data??
4. I am using Smart Keyboard Pro. Love it. But i am hitting some key, occasionally, and it repeats the previously typed word. What am I hitting, any idea? If sounds crazy, disregard LOL but it happens a ton
5. When I double tap HOME. the Voice Talk works. BUT...if I say Search Macy's expecting to find Macy's on the net OR say FIND Macy's expecting to find maps to the local Macy's...it does not happen like when I hold down the search key and say it.
I get a weird google page with a small search box. Is there a way to change the home tap to Voice Search instead of Voice Talk ... or to make it function like that?
Thanks so much

Since I cannot get the voice dialer to work with bluetooth on my fb21 based rom I am left with using vlingo. I noticed something and I was wondering if it was the same for others. If I double tap the home button quickly, it launches vlingo. Is there anyway to disable that?
I have installed Gooogle Now on my stock rooted Touchwiz ROM from the famous Google Now thread.
My only issue is something is hardcoded in the ROM to not allow me to change what app double tapping home starts. There are no apps on the market that say they can do this that work either. I have tried them all.
My issue now is that if I double tap Google Now's "Voice dialer" only shows up which is an activity within the Now application. I have turned s-voice off as I think Now is better. So basically double tapping (which is also the same thing as holding down a bluetooth device's button for voice search to come up) I can only tell it to call people using the Google Now app. Other people on AOSP ROMs can get the full Now Voice Search to show up when double tapping but something in Touchwiz always defaults it just to the "voice dialer" instead. If I uninstall Now I get an option on double tap to choose s-voice or the normal ICS voice search so I know it can be changed but that same window does not come up asking which default task to use when double tapping with Now installed. I have cleared all defaults also, and that window still doesn't pop up.
So something in the Touchwiz ROM prevents me changing what double tap does, or it is something in Now, but I find that unlikely since other people with other devices (even the SII running touchwiz) can change the function.
Any help would be appreciated.
Our phone has a feature called Quicklinks, whereby if you pressed the search button plus a hardware keyboard key, you could quickly launch applications (i.e. search+e = email app).
Now, a bug in the software meant that the phone would sometimes think the search button was constantly pressed, so you would open the keyboard to answer to an SMS for example, and find yourself launching an app instead. The only workaround was to use the on-screen keyboard.
Before, in GB, this functionality could be disabled by going to Settings->Applications and disabling QuickLinks. This made the problem go away.
------
Enter ICS. The feature, with the same bug is still there, but I cannot find the QuickLinks entry in Settings->Applications. I've looked everywhere and I cannot find it.
Does anybody know where it is or how to disable it on the unusable official build of ICS?
Hello everyone,
While I was testing my phone and pressing everywhere, I might found a feature I didn't read anywhere.
I know there is the ZenMotion, and it works great. By writing a "C" on the screen, you launch the camera app. But I don't talk of that (and I disabled this shortcut)
After locking the screen, press the volume button twice (down-down, up-up or even up-down and down-up). It launches also the camera app.
This isn't a ZenMotion feature (I disabled everything and the shortcut still works).
Is someone having this shortcut too? Did someone know how to disable the shorctcut?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The setting for the double click volume key to launch camera from sleep is in Settings -> Lock Screen
At least on the US version running the WW firmware. See attached image.
Ohhh. Got it. The setting is here.
Thanks!
