Google now doesnt call local businesses - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

since the update to jellybean i have not been able to call local places by saying ie call gamestop and it calls the closest gamestop to me. it either pulls up random contacts or says no contact found and leaves a search bar for videos about the said business. anyone else with this prob? or a fix?

i have the same issue.. my guess is we have to wait for google.

If I say call game stop or any business it trays to call a contact in my phone that sounds nothing gets like what I say lol

Same problem here. The old google search was great for calling local businesses. Has Google addressed this issue?

Thank Apple and their idiotic patents for that. Google had to strip a few features to try and stop a sales ban from happening in the future.
Don't worry if Google comes out on top in the end it may be added back.

I do not believe this is why it doesn't work. If I clear the data on Google search (or reinstall the app) the voice search will work just like before. I say call "business" and it finds the nearest and dials it. After a few hours it will stop working and only pull up my contacts. If it was a feature removed then it wouldn't work at all. It definitely appears to be a bug. Very frustrating bug.

Instead of saying call "business".. say "business" phone number and it pulls up the closest numbers In Your area..
I use this to call dominos about 2 to 3 times a week.. lol
I say "dominoes phone number" and it pulls up the 3 closest to me..
Hope this helps..

its probably just crap . I wouldnt worry to much. If you start to repeatedly receive the message, call sprint...
I think it is cause of cm7. I checked for my voicemail app and it is no longer present.

Yo man thats a voice mail you have if you are using a AOSP rom or CM7 if it doesnt have sprint VM APK cause its senseless you will get that message every time you get a voicemail. kinda sucks.
If you want the texts to stop, you can reinstall sprint voicemail:

Installing the sprint vvm won't stop the texts. Those will continue to come regardless as far as I know. I use Google Voice for all of my vm needs though.
Those texts are completely normal with AOSP ROMs. As stated before, it happens every time you get a voicemail. I think it's part of what makes VVM work. Some people use black list apps like Super Private Conversation to block them.
I use cm7 with youmail and I don't get those texts. If you use youmail it actually fwd all missed calls to its server so sprint never gets it. Annoyance averted. And it works really well as an alternative vvm.

Thats almost definitely it. It a setting you can change in Google voice.
Sounds like you have Google Voice.
I believe this has something to do with Google Voice's Call Presentation settings. Turning it off makes it so that the first phone to pick up an incoming call, will automatically answer it.
I've uninstalled it before and relized that stock voicemail blows donkey...but I will try it again.

You can either set it up for just voicemail or you can use the full integration of Google Voice. The full integration enables you to screen calls, block unwanted phone numbers from calling you, handling your SMS traffic and a bunch of other things.
It sounds like you have the full integration enabled.
Yup, definitely Google voice. Log into you account via a computer and go through the settings and you'll see it there.
Like everyone else said gvoice change it online

Settings/calls/voice screening •OFF
Its should be off by default. It took me forever to figure that out.
Edit: Yea I ment its on by default, but should be set off and to switch it on if you wanted that feature.

Nope. It's set to on by default--which, I think, is a bad idea. Most people automatically hang up when they get anything resembling a voicemail so I ended up having to call people back because of that feature. I quickly turned it off. Voice is otherwise great, though.
Yes I noticed I get alot of 3 sec voice mails. Thx all

Gotta love the Google Voicemail to text.

Since when was Google Wallet not supported on rooted devices?

Welcome to the forums! Have a look around, try out the search button.
As WiredPirate mentioned, this has been discussed a few times.
The good news is that it's more of a "not officially condoned" as opposed to a "not going to work" type of support. Continue to use Wallet to your heart's content, just understand that there are certain risks on a rooted device - and Google won't be responsible if you run into problems.
Yea I can confirm that it still works. I only saw that message once... then never again. It just means that if you run a Rooted rom, you won't get support if something goes wrong or your money becomes missing.

This is not true. I spoke with Google CS about this and the man I spoke with assured me that the message meant if the app doesnt function in the way it should, ie. not transfering data via NFC or pressing a button doesnt work, that Google is not responsible to help you troubleshoot it. Not that you cannot cancel your card or retrieve your funds if you loose your phone. The phrase he used repetitively was "Your money is still your money", if for some reason your cash 'disappears' just call and they will straighten it out. But if the app is not transmitting or if it is spazzing out, do not expect them to help you troubleshoot it and get it working properly again, which I imagine they would initially try to do anyways or atleast give you suggestions on things to try but would eventually say "we are not responsible" if you are taking up too much of their time.
I hadn't planned on replying to this question since it has been covered several times but I had to clear up the misinformation.
Today was just the first time I ever noticed this warning in the app like that. I've been rooted forever, but I thought it might have been due to a recent update (and no topics showed up in the little "topic title search" thing).
Been like this for weeks. Its effectively a "user beware" notice.

Is there a "fix" for this?

I'm currently running Jelly Belly, though I don't think that has any effect on what I'm posting about, because this issue was occurring even before I rooted and ROM'd up my phone a while back. Basically, the problem (well, more like personal annoyance, I guess) is that when I get a call while my screen is off, only a sliver of the top of the contact picture shows. I thought the entire picture was supposed to show? Here's an example of what it looks like (I blacked out the phone number, so ignore that part):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I bring the phone down from my face to end the call, the full picture is showing (along with a big red button to end the call), but when I actually get a call, it shows like it does in that picture I posted.
Is there any "fix" for this, or is that just how it's "supposed" to be?
I don't know why, but that picture looks creepy for some reason.
butter and jelly please...
My guess is that the incoming call is over laying the contact picture.

Heh, my dad doesn't really like to be photographed, but I want all my contacts to have a photo, so... Working on taking a better one, but eh, you know how people can be.

So, is there a way to fix/ change that? Like I said, it's been like that even when my phone was stock, pre-rooted/ unlocked, etc. Another thing I noticed, too, is that when I'm listening to music (via Play Music), the album art in the lock screen kinda does the same thing. That wasn't as big a deal to me as the contact pictures when I get a phone call, though.
You have to remove the picture and when you add it back you need to adjust the crop box until you get the image sized and positioned to your liking.

Google Now not working right. Anyone else seen this???

So if I use Google Now (NOT SVoice) to call someone here is an example of what I see a lot:
ME - CALL JOHN SMITH HOME
Google Now - completely recognizes "Call John Smith Home" (since that is exactly what it transcribed in the search bar).
Google Now - shows a card for Davy Jones Mobile (as an example).
For some reason the card it picks is COMPLETELY different from what was transcribed up top.
Anyone else seeing this?
Works fine for me...what rom are you running? What mods? These are things you a should include along with your question.

Sorry I am 100% stock
Here is an example. You can tell by the names that neither of them are standard names, but Google Now PERFECTLY recognized what I was trying to say, and wanted to call COMPLETELY the wrong person:

Have you tried to delete cache & data of Google Voice/Search? You could always delete it & re-install to see if it helps or not.
Happens to me as well. I am stock on att.
I have read somewhere that you need to have the contacts synced to Google. Are yours phone or Google contacts? I use only phone contacts.
had google now have issues 2 days in a row on my GN2 and N7. So it seems to be a issue throughout there whole system. Didnt seem like to big of a issue, just had to reconnect it.
Edit*
Nevermind. Don't wanna be mean.

Not sure what you said, but would love to hear what you had to say nicely.
To the others, my contacts are and have always been sync'd to Google. I will try the reinstall, and clearing cache, etc.
