Anyone have recent problems with Voice Search? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Voice Search was running just fine, then one day it started acting up (it would just freeze) I use the app called Assistant, which runs through Google Voice Search I assume because it was also freezing up when Voice Search started acting up. I tried un-installing then re-installing voice search, but that was a no go. I re-flashed the ROM I use (FreeGS3) to see if that was the problem, and it was not.

No...But that sounds familiar.

I've been having issues with it saying "no server connection" in full bars of 3g...but nothing like what you're running into. I suppose it could be your ROM, but I don't have that much experience. PA worked fine for me while I had it.

Vlingo - better than Google Voice?

anyone tried Vlingo? just downloaded and gave it a test and it's very accurate.
Not tried the updated Google Voice yet as I have a custom ROM, so can't auto update, but Vlingo is definitely better than the Voice Dialler that came with my ROM

I used to use it all the time on my blackberry's but never tried it on android, I hear good things about android so I may have to check it out, can it handle dialling people? as Google voice dialler sucks

[Q] Voice Search does not recognize first word/command.

I have been having a problem with Google Voice Search for the past while.
What is happening is when I activate the Voice Search and speak something like "Navigate to [random store name]" or "Map of [random place]" it just ignores the command part (Navigate/Map). It just searches the non-command part on google in the browser.
Also does not work with "Text", "Call", Dial" or any other command.
I have tried Clearing data/cache, uninstall/reinstall and neither have helped at all.
I have a HTC HeroC with the same setup and version and it works flawlessly.
It is not a timing thing as I can give it a few seconds before talking and it still does this.
While it is processing the command has a spike in the audio, so it is detecting that I said it.
Has anyone else experienced this? and how can I fix it?
Thanks.

[Q] Voice actions with Google Search in CM10.1VJ

Hi Everyone,
I installed the 4.2.2 ROM from vijendrahs, which runs great on the Desire.
But I cannot get Voice Actions to work. When I say "call xxx", I get the web search result of "call xxx" instead of the "xxx" contact like I expected.
Voice parameters are in french, but I tried english and it does not work better.
Has someone figured out a fix for this yet?
Thanks,

I'm experiencing the same problem on my GN2 (SCH-i605) running imnuts' Tweaked VZW remix. Every time I try a voice command it performs a web search instead. The developer of the ROM stated that it's working fine on his so that leads me to believe it's probably a setting we've accidentally toggled or maybe an app we have that's interfering with it and not the ROM itself.
I hope someone can shed some light on the situation.
Thanks,
Bodie
Edited to add solution: I went into the app manager and found com.google.android.voicesearch and cleared the cache and data and then did the same for the Google Search app and rebooted. As of right now mine is working again

Google Search Force Close

Hello everyone!
I'm running Hyperdrive on my S3, and I'm struggling with Google Search and getting it to work properly. I haven't had this issue before on the S3 or my Note, so I'm a little lost. It came pre-installed with this app. It would open, run through the Google Now setup, and then when it went to the part where it listens to what you're saying, the screen would freeze and it would force close (eventually). I removed it and reinstalled it from the market.. Same thing. I have tried different APK files I found and nothing is working.
I have also noticed that when the app is installed, I have two different search applications, so I think it's running a duplicate app somewhere, but I can't find it.. I have "Google" which takes me to the search thing, and then I have "Voice Search" which takes me there as well, both force close if I open them.
Any ideas? Where are all the files for these located? I thought I completely removed it, but maybe I missed something and it's causing issues.
Thanks for the help!

Sounds like your google voice is messed up somehow, If you manually type something into google now, does it work? I would say to try and clear cache and data for google search and framework in settings>apps>under all tab. Reboot phone, if this doesn't work, try a full wipe-ROM reflash. For future reference this should have been posted in Q&A.

[Q] Google Now voice setup error

Anyone getting this? When setting up voice for Ok Google its giving me "Can't use the microphone. Restart your device" Reboot did not resolve. Only At&t apps disabled. Using Nova or stock launcher still causes erro. I can talk on phone and use speaker phone and if I press google search voice works. I assume restore to factory would resolve but this is my 3rd unit and sick of restoring the device. Thoughts?
Worked perfectly on my G4..
Sadly still no Google Voice Now support in Dutch..
