Change Default Voice Input - Amazon Fire Phone

Hey all. Wondering if anyone knows if possible how to change the default Voice Input app to something different. When you hold down the home button the voice input app comes up asking for input. However I would like to use a third party app like utter or voice input by Google to handle voice command instead of the system voice input app. Any ideas?

Oh and just fyi I tried resetting defaults in the app manager of the system voice input app but I don't get a prompt to change the default to another app when opening and using it. When I install the app utter it states there is no app that can handle text to speech. The Google Voice input works fine but I cannot make it default so in have to launch the app rather then pressing a button on a hands free device.

Google voice limited?

I downloaded voice from the marketplace but the only options I have are voice mail and that's it. I cam make calls or sms. Is there a way around this or am I stuck with only voice mail? Is anyone else having this problem?

Do you have a registered google voice account with a working GV phone number given to you by google? You need a full account for full functionality. Simply downloading the app is not enough.

Google Voice

I have an issue well I don't like this feature, its where when someone calls you to says who it is I believe and asks you to press 1 to talk or 2 to put it to VoiceMail. I don't like that and is very annoying and I unistalled Voice yet still asks me every phone call.

You have to log in on a PC and change the call screening option. Plus uninstalling the app does not stop Google Voice. You have to cancel it on a PC as well.

by off chance you have google voice installed and integrated into your sprint account? if you do, there is your problem. google voice does not encode them.
How would I go about taking voice off??

if you do have google voice activated and integrated with your sprint account, you need to log into the google voice on your pc and deactivate the integration with your sprint account. uninstall google voice from your phone, reboot and try your emoji. they should work now.
if you use google voice just for visual voicemail, you can still do that but don't integrate it with you sprint account by download the app again, open google voice and you'll be at the welcome screen, hit skip button, sign into your account is the next screen, hit sign in button, set up google voice is the next screen, hit next, make calls is the next screen, hit do not use google voice to make any calls and hit next button, set up voicemail is the next screen, hit next button, the next screen should say you need to dial a number to activate voicemail, tap on that number and call it, it will make some noise and end the call, back out till you are back at the google app, hit next, a popup will say you need to call that number again but you dont have to so just okay. now you should have google voice setup and use it for voicemail and your emojis should work with no problems.

Google Voice

I'm trying to get Google Voice working as my voicemail, but am having issues.
Has anyone else tried this?
When I tried to change my voicemail provider from "My Carrier" to "Google Voice" I get an error saying that it can't change the forwarding number.
I then tried to change the forwarding number in Call/Settings and I get a "Network or Sim Error"
Anyone have any insight?
Never mind, I tried it a couple more times and the damned thing switched.

Have Google voice forward the texts/voicemails to hangouts then uninstall the Google voice app all together.

I appreciate that you're trying to be helpful, but how does that fix the issue of not being able to switch from the carrier voicemail?
The issue is not with the app, it WAS with the phone, which was slved.

Ok Google can't call

Hi, i have an AT&T Note 4 on the latest firmware using stock launcher with google now cards turned off. I could start Google Now by saying "Ok Google", but when i say "call my wife", the google app would show my wife's contact card then proceed to start the call. However, it seems like it can't pull up the dialer app to place the call... Anyone know any fixes? I already tried to uninstall and reinstall the google app but nothing.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Perhaps a stupid question, but did you restart the phone? Mine USED to do that, but stopped. Have you disabled S Voice? Have you retrained and setup "OK Google?"

Thanks for your response. I do have s voice enabled. The issue is not getting Google now to recognize my voice. It detected my voice and proceed to initiate the call. However after it proceed to initiate the call by pulling the stock dialer, the stock dialer would pull up for a second then turned off. Thus no call was successfully placed.

And it does this every time? I had a period a couple months ago where it did this occasionally, but after a Google update, it stopped. So, let me ask: you've only got the stock dialer installed, right? Also, HOW are you activating Google Now? By saying "OK Google" or some other shortcut or widget (I don't use stock Touchwiz so I don't know offhand if you can set double tapping home key for Google)?

I only use the stock dialer. I activate it by saying "OK Google" then I would say "call my wife". Google would register the command then attempt to launch the stock dialer to make the call. However as soon as the stock dialer started up, it closes and nothing else happened.
