Voice cmd for apps - Galaxy S III Themes and Apps (US Carriers)

Anyone got any ideas for getting this to work with google music? I want my cloud with voice commands.

It won't work for Google Music. Only the Samsung stock music app

Seems silly they'd put this option in our main settings and not application local if it wasn't intended for developers as an option.

Anyone know if this is part of S-Voice or which APK?
I have removed lots of system apps, long ago, and now realized this option is gone and I don't know which system app to restore.
Thanks.

go to Settings > Language and input, and set the 'Voice cmd for apps' toggle to on. You can also tap on that entry to see what commands are available and select which ones you want to activate.

Nice of you to help but you are missing the point - these option do not appear on my device in the Input/Languages screen.
Or atleast they didn't until I restored SVoice

That worked for me.
same issue
Hello,
Even I have tried "Settings > Language & Input > Google voice typing", small mic icon on keyboard seems inactive mode. When I have forced to use voice for input by using the setting, it turned back with connection problem. BTW I am using stock rom ICS 4.0.2.
Thanks in advance

I decided to open my data connection and its work. In fact I didn't understand cause when i bought this phone I haven't got any data connection and it was working very good. Anyway my problem has been solved by itself. Thanks
Interesting. This happened to me today as well.
I uninstalled Voice Search because I thought I never used it. I noticed voice typing was gone and after reinstalling Voice Search, I can't get voice typing back.
Voice Typing never appears in the Language and Input menu no matter what I do.
HELP!
Uninstall and reinstall Google Search and Voice. Check the keyboard settings and make sure voice is enabled.

[Q] How to restore google searchbar? [solved]

Anyone who could be so kind to guide me in the right direction on how to restore the searchbar? Hopefully with as little huzzle as possible.
Was fiddling around and managed to deactivate it..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Settings > Apps > All
Scroll down to Google Search, then Enable
Hope that helps
Actually its not in the app list anymore. I lost predictions from SwiftKey aswell. Tried to run the googlesearch.apk from system. This fixes the SwiftKey issue, but still no searchbar.

What Will T said is correct. I can suggest that you scroll to the bottom of the 'All' apps list and you should see it there. That list is sorted with disabled apps at the bottom.
OK I got it fixed now. But to clear things up if someone else encounters the same problem as me:
In the app list, google search only gave me the option to "force stop" and "remove installed updates" aswell as "remove data". I was not given the option to "enable" it again. Tried to install from system and reboot with no effect. Tried to force stop the app and then suddenly the enable option appeared.

Google Nav keeps wanting to install text-to-speech

Every time I open navigation I'm prompted with this message:
Voice Guidance
For voice-guided navigation, you need to install text-to-speech support from teh Android Market.
When I hit install I'm given these options:
Complete action using
IVONA Text-to-Speech HQ
Manage Google Text-to-speech voice data
When I open using IVONA it takes me to IVONA's page and asks me to install a voice (which I already have and works great if I choose to skip this nonsense).
When I open using the second option (manage google...) I'm given this option:
"Download this data to support speech synthesis on your device.
No downloadable voices
How do I get this prompt to stop? Voice guided nav is working just fine so why is it telling me to install this every time I open the app?
Anybody?
I have the same problem...anyone find a solutions?
May not be your issue, but check your settings /language & input / text to speech and be sure you select a default.
You need to enable it. I think its with the keyboard settings.

Unless the settings are elsewhere everything in the keyboard settings are enabled. Like I said, the voice navigation is working fine despite the prompt
Solved
I had the same problem, the dialog-box kept prompting and asking for download.
But when I did the following changes, it stopped and everything worked fine.
Settings ----> Language and Input ----> Text-to-Speech output -----> preferred TTS engine
by default "Samsung TTS" was selected. I changed it to "Google Text-to-Speech Engine" .
Once I made the above change , the Navigation worked fine without any download prompts.
By the way ,my device details are as follows.
Galaxy Note N7000
Android 4.0.3 Stock ROM
Hope it helps

OK Google anywhere detection after 5.0.1 update

I could have sworn that before the update I could use the ok google detection anywhere (after I enabled it search settings). I tried it again, and it's grayed out in the Search, Voice settings in Google Search. Only the top main option to enable OK google voice allows me to toggle it on or off.
Are you sure you weren't using Google Now launcher?

Disable S Voice in app management, reboot, then go back to Google Now settings. It shouldn't be grayed out anymore.
Woot! Your response led me on the right path. I am and was using the Google now launcher, but the reason I kept referring to Google Search (which is actually just called Google in the app store) is because I thought it was a separate app responsible for the search functionality and that it hooked into the Now launcher. So I uninstalled the standalone Google app, rebooted phone, and now the option is no longer grayed out in the voice detection section of the Now launcher settings.
I think it's strange that Google allows the Google search app to coexist and override the built in Now launcher search functionality (or at the very least seems to pull the standalone Google search app's settings when I try and configure them through the Now launcher)
I'm sooo confused right now. What I uninstalled was just an update. The "Google" search app is still installed and asking me to update it, which means it came built in to the firmware. Aarrghh!
I updated it, and the option for OK Google functionality anywhere in the phone (different apps, screen off, etc) now became grayed out again. So its' at least linked to that it seems. I also don't get the ability to train the OK Google voice recognition (also grayed out) with the updated Google (search) app. The stock, original firmware version of the app does allow it. Aggravating!
Yup I noticed the same thing, the ability seems broken after the update.

I followed the advice to disable the s voice app through the application manager, rebooted... And forgot to check it till today. Yes! Its working. I'm 99% sure it was disabling s voice that did it, and 1% possibility it was an a background google update... So I'm leaning toward the s voice fix.
Thank you to the 2nd poster above with the recommendation. Fixed it.
Hmm. My svoice is enabled and I am able 'ok google' from anywhere. Including the lock screen. I haven't actually used svoice since the update so I will try it and then see if ok google still works from everywhere.
I can 't force stop or disable S-Voice and OK Google options are grayed out. Any ideas?
In the past I was not able to disable s voice through the application manager, but this time I was.
A couple of possibilities I can think of. In the s voice settings, disable any available options that may be enabled, such as activating it via home button, etc. (Don't recall all the various settings now because it's gone completely from my application settings section)
Also, go into the Security settings of the phone and make sure s voice is not listed as a Device Administrator. I've noticed that apps can't be disabled or uninstalled as long as they're listed in this section as device admins. As usual reboot after just in case, and check if you can disable it then.
I haven't modified anything on the phone other than manually disabling a bunch of apps through application manager and replacing touchwiz with the Google Now home screen.

First, get rid of hivoice via adb. Then make sure that you have all necessary settings under Google account. Go through it one by one.
Make sure that you have the latest Google app installed. Give it all permissions and check settings.
Do not install any additional assistant app. It's under Google. Set it as a default assistant.
Now go to the Google apk and set under battery usage details App launch manually for all 3 counts.
Finally, go to open apps and lock both settings and google apps as you see on the attached picture (the lock sign is in a void place on the right above the window- push until locked).
Now you'll have your assistant always on when the screen is on if you don't kill it manually.
The Google assistant is not a native app for Chinese phone. Therefore Huawei aggressive app killer kills it after certain inactive time. Basically, locking it prevents that action.

so, you mean the google app has to be running in the background to keep assistant operative.
Exactly. I have it in background and since then it is always operative.
