I have a problem with my S Voice
Because of the famous homescreen redraw problem, I 'turned off' S voice in application management.
Now the program completely dissapear! Its not in the Play Store and I cannot get it from Kies or Samsung Apps!
I think this is really weard since I only pushed the Turn off button and not the 'Delete' button. Furthermore there weren't any warnings. But now it's just gone!
Can somebody help me with this issue?
A very very warm thank yo
two ideas
Settings>manage app>all app>s voice>reactivate
Google search bar widget> s voice

is there a way to make Google now voice search the default app for double clicking the home button instead of s voice? I tried clearing s voice default but it didn't have any. I tried disabling it but then Google dialer stepped up and I couldn't find it in the apps menu...
I don't like s voice because it doesn't understand my accent and it can't do some things...

Use a different launcher such as Nova. You can change the home button and menu button. I have my Menu button set as Google now voice search when i long hold the button. The home button if i long hold i have it set just to do regular Google now search.
nova settings > gestures and buttons

This is what I've been using.

Set that as your default launcher, then set whatever you want for single and double home presses within Home2.

I don't even bother with this. If I want GNow, I just long press the menu button and tap "G". Two taps instead of one. Whoopty doo.

Works fine for me...
You still need to turn off the option in S Voice so it's not listening for the double tap.

I assume you mean me by "the other guy" I just read my comment and I realized that I made a mistake.
Of course I meant "long press HOME" button.
My bad. Sorry.

Completely replace the voice!
I read all your comments you guys. But what I think what he means is that he wants to completely replace the actual voice in the Svoice stock app that came with the phone to the voice that Google now has. The way I have it is to do nothing when double pressing the home button. Since the 4.1.1 update dropped for all S3's, it came with Google now installed with the Google search bar widget. Well, I was wondering the same thing on how to remove the voice from S voice, and replace it with Google now's voice. Cuz I really don't like the custom voice integrated with with the s voice app. I like Google now's voice way better. And it sounds more human-like than than the "so called" Siri and S voice put together. If anybody knows how to do this, post your instructions! Cheers!

I've solved it since. I have one of two ways to do this.
1. disable svoice's double tap home to open from I'd settings, then instal home 2 shortcut from the app store. this did it for me, however I like the second one better
2. I also needed an easier way to use the buttons with the s pen like home and back so I enabled on screen keys and modified the key layout to disable menu and back hardware keys and made the home key a search key. now I have home, back, menu and recent apps buttons on screen and the home button is a regular search so when I long press it I get ASKED! What voice program I want it to handle...
hope this helps

Google Search can't open apps nor send messages. What if you're cooking and u wanna be hands free? That's why I stick with svoice. But I don't like her voice. Can u replace the VOICE instead of just button pressing?

I just got this phone today and so far I love it. One thing that is bothering me is the google search widget that is on the home screen. Is there a way to remove this? I've tried everything I can think of. Thanks!

You can disable it but you can't use the space it used to take up at the top of the home screen. I just got holo launcher (a home screen app) and now I have all that space usable too.

After disable Google Search, try to apply the theme again and the search bar should be disappeared.
I was wondering if anybody knew the cause or solution to this issue. I am trying to get to the settings. I press menu but it pops up and then it blinks off the screen so fast I can't even read it. I am rooted using ACE 4.6.1 with Splash v7 update 5 installed. I have removed Google search 2.3.xx and downloaded it from the market again and I still have the same issue.
Its an issue with tw phones I believe. I read multiple are having the same thing in the google now play store spot.
Im having it too.
Most likely they are working on it

I see you are on a custom ROM so this will not help you unless you can get a hold of the stock Google Search apk. I am on stock and uninstalled the updates for Google Search now all is well.
Google now
I don't think that's the case. I am using note 1 and have the issue. Using stock rom
Type A letter into the search bar. Press menu and go to settings. Go to voice. Disable hot word detection. Problem solved.
All you do is go to the voice app instead and hit settings promblem solved

Here's what I'm doing:
1. Open camera
2. Tap gear for settings
3. Scroll down to "Take photos using voice"
4. When I try to tap "on", the camera freezes right there (can't back out with arrow, can't do anything), then it crashes.
Anyone else experienced this? All the other settings work fine in there, just that one's screwed up. Which is, of course... annoying!
Thanks for anyone's advice.
Di you have it enabled in s voice already?

I had that setting on since I discovered it and just recently I deleted svoice. So I went to see if it was working because I read the previous posts and guess what? No response loll. I guess ill be installing svoice back

Is there a way I can disable S Voice? I wish I could replace it with Google Now, but if I could at least disable it I would be happy. I keep pressing the home button through the cover and start the S Voice app by accident at the worst possible and most embarrassing times. It's driving me berserk! :banghead:
Edit: never mind I got it. I unchecked everything in the S Voice settings menu after I launched S Voice and now when I press the home key I get the Google Now voice search prompt. Exactly what I wanted. (I'm also using Nova launcher, not sure if that also helps. )

Just go into settings, App Manager and S Voice and hit disable. If you ever want it back you can enable.
I have just the thing for you. Go into s voice settings and disable "open via the home key", then download "Home2Shortcut" from the play store. This application allows you to open any app through a double press of the main home key. I.e. Google now.
