All of a sudden Google Voice Search comes up as the only option to send a text message, find someone on my contacts list or search some other apps. Keyboard entry is no longer available.
How do I turn off the Google Voice Search? It's a real pita!
TIA!
Never mind. I figured it out. Thanks.
hi

Basically there are a lot of people with the same problem.
When we hold down the magnifying glass and say "Call someone" the person isn't dialled and instead a google search page is displayed. The search terms on this page are "Call someone"
Its almost as if the phone recognized the word call, but ignored its responsibility to actually call the person, and instead just thinks we want to search google for these terms.
I have a hunch it down to some of us installing the android keyboard to obtain voice input, before another method to obtain the feature was realised.
So my question to you suffering with this....
How did you enable voice input on your desire?

Sometimes it works for me, sometimes it ignores me.
ie sometime I say "dial xxx" and it calls them, other it does a google search. Sometimes I say "directions to xxx" and it opens directions/maps - others it google it again.
Unfortunately saying "what can I say" doesn't tell me anything - what I really need is some documentation on the keywords / commands required but I can't find reference to them anywhere.
Anyone know of any?
Thanks, M1
Press the magnifying glass and say nothing and it brings up search. Say something and the same happens.
Fixed
Maybe it has something to do with the local settings? I can choose the language and country > English(Netherlands), but not English(UK/US) or something..
So yes, I can't get it to work either..voice search 2.1 and android keyboard installed..
Have you actually installed the voice app? You are long pressing the mag key? The voice app mike is coming up?

Is Voice Search 2.1 a more recent version than the one pre-installed in the Desire? When I check my applications I get 'Version 140' under Voice Search....
It isn't pre-installed at all on the Desire, or wasn't on mine. The reason it doesn't work is because it isn't installed (in UK)
Anyone using Google Mobile App, Google Search (the individual App), or Google Voice?
What are your impressions, pros/cons?
Was just checking them out and wondering...
I use Google Voice and love it. It works very well and getting a text message of a transcription of a voice mail is very nice and much better than having to call in for voice mail.
i use google search and i like the today screen plugin, very cool
I've searched the forums for a while now and I'm not really finding the answer to my question.
Once it became available I did the whole 'Google Voice Enabled' to my number so everything will go to my google voice number. Everything is working fine except texting.
The main reason why I 'enabled' is so I wouldn't have to deal with two numbers (for SMS and MMS) and so I can use the regular texting app. In the app AND within the Google Voice website I have 'notify through text' option checked. Everything works fine but out of the blue it will up and stop working and NOTHING I can do will make it start again (even though at random times it'll start working again).
I hate the Voice app and had to uninstall it because, once again, no matter what I would do it wouldn't stop notifying me through the voice app AND the stock/handcent app.
Am I doing something wrong or is this something extremely frustrating happening to others?
Recap: I want to use my Google Voice number, no problems with the phone itself, no signal problems. Thanks!
Open google voice push menu then setings then sync and notifications. Then uncheck notifications via text message. After you do that you will get your notifications only through google voice unless its a multimedia message then its sent too the stock msg app
can someone tell me why Google Voice has taken over my text messaging? how do I get it to stop? I went to Google Voices site but could not find any way to stop it.
I had same problem, called sprint tech support, you have to be unrooted and call from another line not your phone, they give you codes to put in your dialer then your good to go. Good luck!

No need to unroot, if you set up your Google Voice with Sprint Integration this is a "feature" of that. I went went to google.com/voice and completely got rid of my Google voice acct, then on my phone I uninstalled the app. After that's all done to back to google.com/voice and set up a new account with a different number then your cell phone. After you set up a different num D/L Google voice from the market and this time when it asks if you wanna integrate your account click 'skip' and just use Google voice for your default voice mail.

it sends your voice to google to analyse it and sends back the text.
open the google voice app on your phone. goto sync and notifications. uncheck Inbox Notifications, and check text messages. Should be just like normal. You will then get a text message when there is a voicemail which you can open up the google voice app to listen to it.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Did you set it to be your default sms app?
Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Google Voice,
then scroll down to the area "Launch by Default" and clear the defaults.
I signed up for the Sprint+Google integration as soon as it came out. But I never get my voicemails. How do you get notification of it or check it from you phone(without signing into google voice through the browser)
It runs through the Google Voice app and not the "Voicemail" app. So you'll need to download Google Voice from the Market and then sign in through there.
Figured as much...I just don't like getting the texts through there. I just want to get my VM
