This Voice Mate app on my LG G4 for AT&T is driving me crazy. I can't listen to music in m car without this thing popping up and causing PowerAmp to pause, skip, and stop. I looked around and found on some other threads that people purchased TIBU Pro and used the Freeze option. Does anyone know of any alternatives before I decide to buy this app? I really want to get rid of Voice Mate, but I'd like to know what other alternatives may be available. Thanks.
Are you rooted?

I am. I downloaded TiBU and I was able to stop that program from coming up whenever I plug an auxiliary cord in. Now the Google app is doing what Voice Mate was doing so I'm guessing I should do the same thing with this too.

I have been looking for a method to play music over my car stereo while on the phone with my bluetooth. Basically I need a method to chose where audio from phones plays. any ideas?
probably that's not possible, at least i don't know any way. when answer/making a call it just turns off the music
It does pause the music but if you hit play I be live it will play the music and the call. I just need a method to select the out put location independently.
I hang up on people who dont turn their music off while I am trying to talk to them. Just saying.

Lol, yeah. I don't understand why you would want to listen to music while you're talking to someone..?
Regardless, I don't think there's a (easy) solution to this.
You guy's remember the early 90s when people would play music while recording a beeper message? This reminds me of it

I find when listening to Pandora or music when my phone is in my pocket, my notifications are so low and muted other than hearing a short break in the song, I usually wind up missing a text/e-mail/etc....
Is there any way to force the notifications to play through the headphone jack?
Thanks in advance!!
Never had this issue. I listen to Pandora all the time.

Do you use launcher pro or another similar app? If so there is a setting with in Launcher PRO under advance that you can turn up notifications.
I'm on Nova right now and I don't see any options for notifications. I want to say the last time I remember this working was in CM7. All I want to do is force the notification to play through the headphone jack and not out the speaker.
Thanks in advance!

lol - thanks!
The description in google play sounds cool, but doesn't directly address my question... will the pro version will allow me to select where I want my notifications played through?
call me a cheapo - but I have yet to buy anything from google play!
I had similar experiences. I wished that that there was a way to disable the notifications from interrupting the music.

I don't see a setting in it for that. Sorry I thought all sound gets played through headphones if you have something plugged in.
Hi all.
I was wondering if you may be able to help with some advice regarding the G3.
Here's where I'm at.. I've been using a loan g3 for a week and I love it.. That screen just blows my mind. I've tried the Xperia Z2, the. htc M8.. Neither of them match or even come close.
What I am finding though is there is one issue that really irritates me. The lack of being able to call up the voice mate software using the headset. It is impossible. To give you an idea of where i was before.. I used an iPhone 5S and A Galaxy s5.. I used Siri all the time and find S Voice to be brilliant. I drive a lot and also walk around a lot listening to music and I hate walking worth my phone in my hands in London. Total muggers target.
With the S5, you just press the headset call button for a few seconds and it brings up S Voice which then allows me to play music without looking at the phone. I can't believe the same functionality has been left out of the g3. I've been through all the menus and tried saying the keywords to bring it up and it doesn't work. Am I totally missing something or has LG dropped the ball here?
The only thing I can find that is close is to press the unlock button while the phone is in my pocket to unlock the screen and then use the headset button which does bring up Voice mate. But it then doesn't do anything until I press the onscreen button to complete my command. If I press the headset button again, it doesn't do anything.
Similarly, the S5 features a car mode which just works. It audio connects to my Bluetooth stereo and then opens itself and plays tunes just by me saying Hi Galaxy. I can't seem to find anyway of achieving this with the g3. It's a big thing because having to unlock the phone then find the software key then swipe up to voice mate means I take my eyes off the road which really isn't ideal.
Can anybody help? It may sound like an insignificant thing but this is a big thing to me and means I'll have to plump for the s5 even though my heart tells me I really want the g3 more.
Oh and how do you guys find battery life? Is there a way of emulating the extreme power saving mode brought to us by the likes of the s5 and HTC One m8 rather than the pretty paltry built in battery save app?
Thanks in advance.

You have to activate voice recognition on the lockscreen within voice mate settings and the app starts listening with the "LG Mobile" or "Hello Genie" hotword (whatever you've set from these two).
My battery life is pretty solid, around a day and a half with moderate (web, streamed music, some casual games,...) and through the whole day with heavy (web, music, high demand games,...) use.
LG's implementation of this is horrible on all of their phones; I have been trying to get this to work on my LG flex for 6 months and it just wont..
I might be confused but can't you just press the dedicated button on your earphones to start playing music? Why do you need to go through Voice Mate? Also, Google Now now supports voice commands for music playback as well. I believe that can be activated by long pressing the headset button.
I wanted to use voice mate to make calls, but, its absolutely worthless on the LG flex; it never recognizes a word you say..
Hope its better for you folks on the G3

Hi Japultra,
This is the thing.
There are three buttons on the headset. The main one just stops and starts music. Long pressing it starts nothing. It just sits there. Long pressing the volume down button launches the camera, and the same with the up button launching the note taking software. These are no changeable.
They don't launch VoiceMate OR Google Now.
I like to talk to my phone and tell it to play particular songs, then to call someone, then maybe play a song by someone else. Rather than having to walk down the street with my phone in my hand like a mugger's target doing it all the old fashioned way.

Is there no way to set Google Now to be the default on the long press of the button? Also, which parts of London are you walking through that's so dangerous? I live here and have never had an issue with my phone.

Not that I can figure out - but if you know a way, please share.
I walk through a lot of London. Granted, mostly between Knightsbridge where I work and Surrey - but that's not the point.. It just takes once for a phone to be snatched out of a hand and I switch between songs that often, it's so easy with S-Voice or Siri to just hit the cable. I can't believe the G3 has left this out. Seems potty.

Have you tried activating Google Now? I'm pretty sure this is possible on all Android handsets - just gotta figure out how....

Yes, I have tried that. It makes no difference
Hi all,
I bought my dad a pair of the Yurbuds Inspire Talk headphones for Father's Day and apparently every time he uses them, the microphone picks up ambient noise and thinks that it is giving a command. So, this Nuance Voice Control app pops up and stops his music whenever the wind whooshes through the microphone etc, rendering them pretty much useless.
I've tried to find the app to disable/uninstall it by going through Google app search, the application manager, and the Play Store search, but nothing comes up. I know that the obvious choice would be to root it and try to disable it through Titanium Backup or something, but the problem is that my dad isn't very tech-savvy in the first place and is not at all partial to the idea of me rooting his phone.
So, is there any way to disable or uninstall the app without rooting it or does he just need a new and different pair of headphones?
Thanks
As the title States... Any time I turn Bluetooth on... Google play music starts playing automatically.... Anyone know how to prevent this?
I hit pause/stop and try to start another Bluetooth app (such as watch ESPN) and music starts playing again.
Never figured out how. It's happened on all my past phones. GS7, 6P, iPhone 5S

Please explain for those of use not familiar with it please. Thanks.
I think many Bluetooth devices (especially cars) automatically send the play/pause command after pairing. Unfortunately, not much you can do other than setup a tasker task to play/pause after pairing to the devices you are having trouble with.

You will have to buy Tasker and then go to this website...http://androidforums.com/threads/ho...ally-playing-google-music-every-time.867286/. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the forum, there is a guy who explains exactly what to do. Its working for me so far.
Edit...Tasker is not working. I don't know what to do now
Same here. I had disabled Play music for now.
