Anyone point me to a dev who could write me the change to source that would allow me to toggle google voice search disable/enable from my homescreen please...?
I have the issue where plugging in my aux cable to run my device thru car audio system annoyingly triggers google voice search as soon as I plug in the cable to headphone jack and I have to turn it off 3-5 times as it just randomly keeps turning back on and then it finally settles but then randomly the mic won't work when i get a call... it's acting buggy so I even tried a fresh GApps package to no avail.
It was fine when i had Android 4xx versions on this Z1c and started as soon as I put CM12 on it.
Weirdly the google voice search app shows as an icon in my apps list which I can happily press and open and it takes me to the 'listening' screen that annoyingly triggers on with the aux cable, but if I go to settings->apps->all there is no sign of it to try and disable....? how can it not be in there...? If there I could make a shortcut to that point. I have root but no idea where within the system files I might locate the very place I need to go.
Oh.... and plugging in the hands free headphones that came with the Z1c works perfectly and of course they have a 4 pole jack with the mic section. My aux cable is 3 pole because it doesn't need mic ability as it's only transferring the output to car audio.... and as i said this 3 pole aux cable worked fine with JB and KK.
I'm gonna try a 4pole male to 3 pole male cable when it arrives in the post, but I think this has to be a software issue.... so simply turning off Voice search as and when I choose would be a workable and straightforward solution for me.
Any help much appreciated

I have an Acura, and every bluetooth phone I have had in the past I could pair with the car, and plug in an Aux line to the headphone jack to listen to music, then if a call came in, it would come through my spearkers.
Now with the EP4g, it comes through the speakers, but no one can hear me, and I can't hear them until I unplug the aux line.
Anyone else have a problem?
i had a conference call on my phone in the car via my AUX input today. The parties were heard through the speakers of the car and they were able to hear me, but complained about a really bad echo and that I was VERY hard to hear. These in car conference calls were fine on my EVO with the same setup. I have not tried the in car bluetooth yet as I didn't think I would need it. Will be trying that next.
Just did a test with my Nissan and had to pull out the AUX cable before I could hear the other end on my speakers. The other end said they could hear me the entire time.
Something is going on with the aux cable. I really like the phone, but I don't like trying to figure **** out.

I was under the impression that the mic becomes disabled when the AUX cable is in. Had similar behavior on my old Palm Centro. It went into "headset" mode and the mic turned off. In my thread, someone said that it is working fine. Perhaps there is something else causing it?
Do you use or does the Samsung voice dial app automatically launch when you put your aux cable in? Mine does. The mic does not work for it either. Maybe its the culprit?
***** My issue was fixed by changing the TTY settings *****
Settings>Call Settings>TTY mode>TTY VCO
Its just an aux cable, no mic to it. I plug it in and dont see anything in the status bar and no apps launch.
Right, but when the AUX cable is put in, the Microphone on the epic is disabled, at least that's my working theory. IDK, maybe its just something with mine, but at the moment, no-one can hear me when the aux cable is installed, and i cannot use the voice search applications

I will give that a try, any idea what that mode does? Manual doesn't really help.

VCO stands for Voice carry over. I could be wrong on the exact purpose, but i understand that it is designed to allow those with hearing impediments but capable of speaking to use their own voice while their speaker is hooked up to another device to assist in hearing.
Basically, it keeps the microphone on the device "ON" while the audio is outputted to another device. In our case, the car speakers.
Otherwise, when the device is outputting audio, it is looking for another source of voice input. If you car had a hands-free option built in, it would work just fine without changing the setting as the voice input would be coming from the hands free option.
Just a guess really. Glad its working for me, hope it works for you!
Yes it wierd, My car does have bluetooth built in, but when the aux cable is plugged in it doesn't send sound to the handsfree. Not sure what the issue is.

Can anyone also confirm that this works?
I have an iphone 4s right now, but I really want to go back to android and get a GSII, but that bluetooth problem was a big hassle when I had the Epic 4G. However, with the Epic 4G, someone wrote an app that would allow you to reroute sound through bluetooth with the aux was plugged in. I'm hoping there's a fix out there...
I have a weird problem. When I plug my phone into my car charger I lose the voice and other alerts in Google Maps and other applications that 'speak' or give alerts. Not entirely. I still get sound in some apps (Tested with Angry Birds for instance). Unplugging the charger it works fine.
So I took it indoors to test on the original charger and cable and also on a USB cable attached to my PC. It worked fine. Hmm. Odd. So I took it back to the car charger and lo and behold it also works fine.
Puzzling.
My only thoughts are when the phone is going from sleep to car charger it causes this bug to surface.
I'm running JJ Hybrid 3.1 at the moment and one of the later ArcKnight kernels.
Anyone else come across this issue and/or have a fix/workaround?

Did u test other kernel/roms?
Not yet no. Just tested again after a long sleep and it's doing the same thing on a USB cable connected to the PC. Guess I will have to try another ROM and kernel after all.
Well I tried changing the kernel from ArcKnight to Radeon but it made no difference. It seems to just randomly cut out when the USB cable is plugged in. A reboot sorts it out for a while. I am wondering if it's some rogue service or the fact I disabled some framework elements using Autostarts. I think all I can do is flash another ROM and run it with minimal apps for a while. I will look into flashing the new stock ICS ROM that just came out.
OK figured out what the problem was. It was the bluetooth connection to my car stereo kicking in (hence why it worked on a charger away from the car). If I was listening to a radio station bluetooth was still enabled and sending audio alerts from the phone to the car stereo so I could not hear them. If I changed to bluetooth audio on the car stereo I could hear them, So it was a simple matter of disabling media audio in the phones bluetooth settings.
I've put this reply in so if anyone else has the same issue they can search for the answer.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has experienced this issue as Google shows. Has anyone found a fix to the stupid headphone jack not working thing. How if you use certain devices the phone will not output audio. Like the aux in my car or at my work? BT works fine. Headphones work fine its mainly aux. Unplugging the device and replugging it a few times will eventually solve the issue. the thing I think is funny. I plug my aux in and it shows the little aux symbol on my phone in the status bar. but as soon as I start Google Music, it goes away and disables the aux cable. obviously that is a software thing. Is anyone working on it?

Stupid lg it's always something with them so the best fix is to rub your aux cable.... Can't wait for cm but thank you for the threads
EDIT: tried soundabout, fixes issue at least for me thanks bfranklin!
settings:
Soundabout service > auto restart
Wired Headset Behavior > all checked but the last one

I run soundabout pro and never any issue with my aux out with any device I was plugged into
Soundabout only somewhat works for my headphones.. Powered headphones really confuse the crap out of this device.
Lol

Plug the 3 pole male to male aux cable from Z1c headphone jack to car stereo.... now you have everything thru the car audio... music which automatically interrupts for phone calls (the mic is of course a bit distant and callers report you sounding like you're in a tunnel but it works) .... and of course the ability to tap the google microphone icon and speak requests to make calls or play certain tracks and of course search the net..... all working flawlessly while using Android 4xx versions
Now you change to Android 5 in a custom ROM.... CM12.... now the same scenario runs perfectly but only if you've rebooted the phone and haven't used the google voice search since reboot so it's not been started as a service and running in the background.
If you have already opened voice search you find that everytime you plug in the aux cable the google voice search randomly triggers and even tho you can cancel it... up it comes again maybe 3-4 times until it stays off...... but then it'll fire up again randomly as you're driving along.... and so on... and so on.... until you get really sick of it cos it's not behaving as it should and it's bloody annoying..... :crying:
The puzzle is how do you stop the voice search from running as a background service once you've used it after a fresh boot so you don't get this annoying glitch....???
A twist to the puzzle is that using the headphones that came in the box with the Z1c doesn't cause the issue, but that possibly has something to do with the 4 pole jack (as opposed to the 3 pole on aux cable) having a separate mic channel for input from the hands free mic positioned on the headphone cable.
If anyone clever enough to know how to reprogram the google voice app to not remain running as a background process after it's first opening post boot, then please chime in.... I'd love to here from you.
Tasker maybe? App ops app? Just some suggestions...

Hello,
When I plug in my regular headphones/earbuds (Sennheiser CX 150) into the LG G4 (Sprint) when the screen is off, the phone mistakenly thinks I've plugged in a headset/mic combo (the status icon is the headset/mic), even though there is no mic, just earbuds. Annoyingly, the phone also wakes the screen and launches the Voice Mate app. Just because I've plugged in my earbuds while the screen was off.
But when I plug in those earbuds when the screen is already on/awake, the phone correctly recognizes them as headphones (no microphone) and doesn't launch the Voice Mate app, just sits there on whatever screen was displayed, but adds the headphone icon at the top of the screen (as it should for these earbuds).
Anyone know why the phone would do this misbehavior when plugging regular earbuds in while screen is off? As a work-around I've been waking my phone screen before plugging in the earbuds, but I'd prefer to understand why the phone is misbehaving like this when I try to plug in the earbuds when the screen is off?
Can I disable the voice mate launching at least? Almost as if the phone thinks I've done something to initiate that too, upon plugging in the earbuds with screen off.
Same problem in my car
When I plug my car's aux audio cable into the headphone jack of my G4, faiiiil. Same problem - - my " okay, Google" commands fall on deaf ears, because the mic has been silenced. This happens to me whether the screen is black or lit - - and annoyingly, there seems to be no way to change the mic setting manually. Unless someone here can enlighten me? THANKS!
Have a T-Mobile g4 and it works normal with my bose headphones screen on and off. Bluetooth works great. Aux wire used is a griffen flat cable and no issues on playback
I have the same weirdness when I plug in my aux cable in my car - I get the wired headset icon, or some other icon that I don't recognize (it looks like a sideways s with a plug on the end). Sprint version.
The simple-est fix is this .. Plug your usb cord into your computer and your phone at the same time... wait a minute, and then disconnect. It has fixed this issue SEVERAL times on my G4 .. hopefully the simple fix does the trick for you as well
Same issue here. I'm starting to think it's a static electricity thing too? Like, the first time I plug in, it incorrectly classifies it. But if I unplug and try again, it usually works.
Sometimes, when I'm on the USB cable when I try, it works. But I really get bothered by the mischaracterization of earbuds as a headset that launches the voice recognition, so annoying!
So keep monitoring the patterns, see if you can influence it through static discharge/grounding, or screen on/off, angle of audio cable insertion, or whatever. Seems to me like it's not totally 100% predictable though.
