I presume *#*#4686#*#* still works, but I would like to know if there are others.
For Samsung devices, you can see the voice codec used during a call by using *#0011, but I found no such capability with the Nexus line.
Specifically, I would like to know the Pixel is using AMR:WB (AT&T HD Voice) or EVS:WB (T-Mobile Enhanced Voice Service).
Thanks.

Has anyone found a good hands-free blue tooth voice dialer, with confirmation, for the Galaxy Nexus?
The stock Android Voice dialer sux. It never gets the command right, and does not confirm - it just always dials the wrong number. Vsuite (by Nuance) was great on my Droid X2, but it is OEM software for motoblur that will not run on the GN. "Voice Actions" will not seem to work with blue tooth on the GN - maybe a compatibility problem.
"Choice Voice Dial" is also not compatable with ICS. Dev says there are incompatibilities with Android 4.x and he's "looking into it". There are others I've tried that either won't initiate calls with blue tooth, or they don't confirm the "call command" so you never know who you are calling.
I REALLY need to find a good hands free voice dialer for my new GN that works with a blue tooth headset. Has anyone found one they like?
I used to use Vlingo (not sure if on GNex) and thought it worked very well. Can't remember if it confirmed, but worked with BT and very accurate.
I agree that the stock stuff is subpar.
I used Cyberon Voice Commander with a BT headset on my previous HTC Desire and it worked really well. It did do confirmations and I found the matching better because you can record your own 'voice tags' for common contacts, so it is matching against your own voice with a higher success rate. Although the Android Market says it is compatible with the Galaxy Nexus, it is not. The developer has acknowledged this and says a new version should be out soon that will support GNex.
In the meantime, I'm trying a number of different ones (Vlingo, Nuance GO, etc) but haven't really found one that i liked.
Thanks Opus. Nuance Dragon Go might be promising, but it's not ready for ICS yet either. If you find anything, please post back. I'll do the same.

Hello,
First android phone here. Loving the voice search for sending texts, setting alarms, etc. Is there a way I can make it work with a bluetooth headset? I can't even get regular voice dial to work.
I am sure there are 3rd party apps that will work, but I really like the one from Google, it works _so_ much better than all the 3rd party ones I tried on my iPHone, and I like it's simplicity.
The voice dial button on Jawbone doesn't work. I even tried installing Jawbone companion software. If I launch the voice search app and speak into headset, it is still trying to pick up voice from the phone mic.
It is a stock international if that matters. (so bizarre they didn't just come up with a new model to differentiate the NA and Int'l versions).
THanks,
~S
i've been trying to follow this issue from april, when i received my one x (int'l, stock, taiwan manufacture, seems to be uk version). no joy yet. i did read in passing in one thread that htc is supposedly aware there is an issue with blue tooth voice dialing (and presumably search) and has said it is working on it. but i'm not holding my breath.
I'm glad it's not just me!
I just bought the HTC hands free kit (CAR V100) and it's advertised a having voice dialling/voice command as well as announcing callers names.
Buggered if I can get either to work.

Been trying to solve it since with SGS1, SGS2, now with HOX. Guess I need to write my own app. All I was able to find out was this app:
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=cyberon&c=apps (look for cyberon in play store)
works quite nice but only with its own commands, still no option to use google voice search via BT.
Does anyone know if this is working on any of the custom ROM's?
Hi everyone. I know certain carriers support HD-Voice (AMR-WB), for example Telus/Koodo and I believe Rogers/Fido... unsure about Bell.
My question is, how can you enable AMR-WB? You can find it in the service menu but it says "OFF."
Tried searching but could not find anything on the i747. I would love to have this feature as sound quality is 100x better with it enabled (if calling another user on the same network with HD enabled handset, ie Nexus 4).

You ever find an answer? I'm about to buy one and this would most likely be the deciding factor : o

I tried everything I could think of and could not get it working. My guess is the international version you can enable just not the Canadian version.
The point is moot anyhow, the person I know who I was trying to get this working for ended up getting the S4 Mini, which *does* have HD Voice enabled (in Canada at least!).
Works great on my Nexus 5 as well

either way could you link me to what you used? like guides or youtube video. From my understanding it's in the secret dialer menu the option. I know T-mobile phones have it but I'm sure about the i747
I have been using the original Tab 7inch as a mobile office since it came out. It runs my trading programs and phone quality is great enough for business. Can the ATT Tab 3 (7 or 8 in) make phone calls? It appears some international versions can but the ATT model does not have a phone icon. Not sure if just adding a dialer is the solution or if hardware is missing.

I use an app called "Spare Phone" to use the tablet as a phone. It requires you also have Google Voice .
I use earbuds for the calls.

Thanks Unreasnbl. That appears to be a voip solution but I am looking for native cellular voice calls. I guess I'll stick with my first gen tab for the time being.
Thanks again
Was this project never undertaken? I am also looking for a way to make phone calls that will not count towards my data (i.e., I want to use my own phone number), but so far I only see the old GTab information. Can anyone point in the right direction? I have used hangouts dialer to make calls, but it is only showing up as private, and I cannot receive calls (when they call my number it goes to voicemail immediately).
Why does the HD video call not work across carriers??? I don't understand this at all.. there's no need for Google Duo if they can just make the devices talk amongst carriers.. anybody know the specifics behind this?
I.e. I can't use the built in video call to call my gf ATT N7 from my Verizon N7

Well google duo is a google thing and the built in video chat in the dialer is a samsung thing. Even if they were to work across carriers, both phones would have to be newer samsungs. Google duo is for people with any phone manufacturer who want to video chat between each other.
