Hi All,
Installed the updated Mod keyboard (v27) and now whenever I long press the search key and Google voice search comes up it gives me a notification sound on completion of the search or a different one if cancelled.
These are not the stock HTC notification sounds - shorter, just a couple of notes.
It didn't do this with v25, though I am not sure it is a keyboard issue as the defaults go when updated.
I CANNOT find how to stop this - not in keyboard setting, web settings, sound settings, not anywhere.
First - do you have the sound? Long press the key (the physical key with mag glass on) and make a voice search. Does it sound when it completes? Or if you cancel?
Second, do you know how to mute it or delete it?
Nobody gets the beep sounds?
Everybody gets the beep sounds?
Somebody press the button and tell me if it plays a tone!
There has to be somebody out there who has voicesearch and can find 5 secs to press the button and tell me if it sounds a tone when you press cancel.
Apparently not. Maybe its the world cup
It sounds like a soft cricket for me. Kinda like Dzz.
So it does appears on your install of the voice app?
Peculiar. It first appeared when I updated the keyboard app, not when I updated the voice app. I've rolled back to earlier versions of both, but it still is there. Could it be direct from google somehow? I wish I could turn it off (can only be done by muting the speaker.)
My media volume is set to 12/15, system volume is 6/7, ringer is 6/7, and I could baaarely hear it.
Hi,
I have the Rogers version Galaxy S Glide (Android 235), non-rooted as not allowed in order to use it for work email.
Using Motorola S10-HD stereo bluetooth headset.
When paired and connected, pressing the BT Call button does nothing.
Holding the BT Call button performs a redial of the last number.
I've read for other devices with Android 2.2 or higher that the Google Voice Dialer should start when holding the Call button but it doesnt. It will only start if I hold the search button on the phone itself.
Any confirmation from others or suggestions to make it work?
Thanks.

I am using a Nokia BT headset but working fine, can you check on Settings > Wireless and network > bluetooth settings > [Moto S10-HD] > tap and hold, and see if it's connected with "Phone" and "Media"

Yes, both "Phone" and "Media" are listed in the BT settings and both are ticked.
Have tried repairing with no change.

Yes, already updated it from the Play store.

Do you have access to another Bluetooth headset you could try with the phone? Maybe there's something wrong with your current headset.

I just tried a Nokia BH-104 but it also doesn't start Voice Search/Dial.
It also acts slightly differently to the S10-HD.
Call button press - nothing
Call button long press - nothing
Call button double press - last number redial

Oh now this is becoming a real challenge. I also have Nokia BH-104 and I will, in all my best, try and replicate your issue and see.
EDIT: Positive! The call button on both my Nokia Headsets does not trigger Voice Search.....I can only redial my recent called contact via double press.

I gather we are stuck?
Is there an app that allows remapping the BT call key to start another app, even though this function should work standard to start Voice Search?

I believe voice dial/search does that, don't know what google did....
On google phones (Nexus One/S), I believe, the voice dial app pops out once call key on BT headset is pressed.....but I wanna search further....

I have a Motorola T505 in the car and it works well just that it does not work if the phone is at the lock screen. Needs to be unlocked for the call button to work. I assume you already made sure the phone was not at the lock screen. Just wondering is their anyway to make it work with the lock screen still active?

Did a bit more testing.
I installed Vlingo, then something changed.
Instead of nothing happening when pressing the BT call button (Motorola S10-HD), now I get a choice:
Vlingo
Vlingo In-Car
but still no Voice Search option
I then found this App in the Play Google Store called Bluetooth Launch.
It allows you to assign any function to launch when the BT headset call button is pressed.
Now I get:
Bluetooth Launch
Vlingo
Vlingo In-Car
I set Bluetooth Launch to start Voice Search and it works!.
Vlingo is not a bad option either since it can be set to start listening on launching.
However, I realized all this only happens when the phone is in wake mode.
If its asleep, nothing happens, so you still have to touch and wake up the phone then press the BT button.
So still not totally hands free.
Asleep or locked the phone does not respond which is quite annoying when driving. My old phone (Windows Mobile 6.1) alloud voice dialing even though it was locked. I loved being paired with my Bluetooth as I still could do everything via Bluetooth. Sucks that Android which is so powerful does not work well with BT.

Did some more searching and it appears that the move from Froyo to Gingerbread changed the way BT call wake up works.
When the phone is secured with a pin or pattern to unlock, the BT call button wont wake it up..
I did have a pattern lock enabled, which I've since turned off.
Now pressing the BT call button while the phone is in standby wakes it up and runs Vlingo straight into listening mode waiting for a command.
So seems to work OK, just that I cant have a secured lock enabled.

Ya I have seen that it works as you mentioned but I like having the lock pattern and was hoping there was a way to get Bluetooth call button to work even though the phone is locked. Kind of sucks if there is no way around this. The whole point to the Bluetooth is that the phone can stay in my pocket locked so as not to press any buttons by accident and I can make calls from my Bluetooth device.
Hi,
I use the headset button to control my music. From what I have figured out, one press pauses/plays music... two fast presses skips the track... I have tried this, and it works. But sometimes when I double tap the button, it starts ringing the last person I called Can I turn this off? This is really annoying, I seriously do not see why anyone would want this feature.
Iv'e tried one of those headset button apps, and wasn't very impressed, It only worked half of the time.
I mainly just want to stop the button calling people
Anyone any idea?
Thanks.
If you're using PowerAMP try turning on the 'High Priority' headset button handler. If that doesn't work or you have any other music player there's a free app called 'JAYS Headset Control' (works for any headset not just JAYS). Also has a lot of customisation you can do to your headset button actions .
Hello,
I used to hold the button on my mic for a time when cycling to launch "google voice dialer" but now that I've uploade my software it doesnt work anymore. the common functions as play/pause/skip track are still working so i guess It is not the headphone. I could double tap the home key button to lauch the google voice dialer but still doesnt work.
Could anyonee help me out?
Thanks
Hello everyone
I've been struggling for a few hours now... to get my voice button on the headset to activate Google assistance.
At first it opened Svoice then i tried all sort of programs like Bluetooth launcher and Hint2Search, also checked out every possible options on the phone/google/plt hub (the plantronic app).
And the best result I've gotten so far is the launch of Google now (which is different from assistant)
So as you may have guessed, my question is how do I get google assistant on (same as when i hold my home button) when i hold my headset button.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 edge // Android 8.0.0]
Any help is very appreciated,
Have a good day

red button on boom
the way to activate Google Voice is by pressing the red button on the mic boom. Its not the button you use to answer calls. It is also the mute button.
