No i'm talking about the voice commands in settings that allowed you to answer calls
by saying answer.

When you setup Bixby voice you can control this by voice you just need to say Hi Bixby answer or reject. You can say hi bixby reject by sending text I'm busy.

in the older galaxy phones there was a toggle to turn on voice answer, that is no longer
an option on the S8. it was replaced by auto answer if connected to a bluetooth device or headphones.
I would like to avoid using bixby if possible, and was wondering if there was a way to port
that option from the older firmware.

yes i just put my language from german to englisch and there are following apps talk voice dailer voice search youtube at the buttom...
beside the ip google doesnt know my real location but maybe they look up the ip and change out the software?!
Well, i doubt that,
voice needs to verify the mobile number you're using, in my case i needed to have it verified by using my providers internet connection instead of WiFi, and it starts with +31, so they know where i am

[Q] S voice starting on its own

Anyone having this issue where s voice is randomly turning itself on when you are having a conversation with someone? It doesn't matter if it's in my pocket or not, it just happens. Even more annoying is you can't change the activation command to something less nerdy and obvious. Do you guys turn off the activate when screen is on option?

another issue i have is if i tell s voice to "call marcos pizza" it only looks in my contacts. If I use google voice search, it looks it up and calls. Lame!
So, is that just how it is, s voice not as powerful? I'd really like to use the screen off wake up feature that s voice provides, but not if it sucks like this.

I guess another solution is to keep the "hi galaxy" screen off wake up for when I need it and just use the double tap for regular google voice for most functions
Hi galaxy
open google search

Google Voice

Hey all,
Excuse my n00b but, I had Google Voice replacing my Verizon Vmail on my Galaxy Nexus. I just switched from the Gnex to the G2 and I am keeping my same number as the Gnex. Do I have to do anything to configure Google Voice to work or by default will LG's Voice Mate take over all of the vmails? I saw there was a similar thread but it was asking a slightly different question.
If Voicemate is defaulted, is it the same method to switch to Google Voice (dialing the codes on the phone?)
Thanks in advance,
-steve
What you need to do is go to the Verizon website for your account and set up busy/no answer forwarding to your Google number. It will work fine from there.

Just download Google Voice from the play store. It will automatically setup call forwarding during the initial setup. You only have to do I once. Then you can remove Google Voice, or keep it. Whatever.

thanks!
Just a friendly reminder, this should've gone in the Q&A forum, not here. Your post will probably be moved, and you may have a grumpy moderator on your tail.
sorry about that, i'm new to the g2 forums, my first thought was to go to Verizon specific. but noted for the future!

It would if there was a section for it but this is things in development only. :good:
Yea everything gets lumped together except Rom developments. There isn't really a General Verizon forum. So just stick to General, Q&A, and Themes and Apps.
Have fun though and welcome to XDA.

I had to setup call forwarding again on my account. I think VZW turned it off when I upgraded phones, as GVoice stopped storing voicemails after switching phones. Setup from within Voice wouldn't work for VZW, had to dial the following numbers:
*71<google voice number>
*90<google voice number>
*92<google voice number>
Replace the <google voice number> with your account's number and you'll get a pop-up dialog asking to confirm the call forwarding.

I got it working fine on my last G2. Broke the screen and got a replacement and now everything works except my messagesc aren't going to my voice account. They are going to my Verizon voicemail. I've set up voice like I've always done. Whenever I try to dial the numbers on the OP it just takes me to the Google voice, meaning it's already set up. I don't know. Iv haven't rooted this phone yet (looking for a computer that works), but once iv do I'll just restore my backup but until then it's annoying.
I can call using my coffee number but messages go to Verizon. I had the same problem on my first phone but forgot how I fixed it. It was also running a highly customised ROM though. It's much easier to have my messages go to voice. As of now I have no visual messages

How can I request a feature to Google?

Even though this should be in Android Wear by default, it's not.... Ability to send a text message or say "call ____" and being able to do it without a data/internet connection... as of right now you need data/internet to text or give a call command which is pretty dumb IMO. How can I request to Google to add this?

How to use the default Voicemail (not the Visual Voicemail)?

Im new to sprint, and got S7 edge but it keeps using the visual vm. I tried unsubscribing but it is still the default Voicemail, i dont want the app. I cant uninstall it.
On my note4 it gave you like a 30 day trial. I agree I didn't want it but it nags you to buy it. Just keep saying no, but enjoy the trial

How was it? I chatted with a CS and wasnt successful. I tried unsubscribing and disabled the voicemail app using package disabler but it wouldn't work.

Why not share with us the steps sprint tech support utilized to return your phone to original voicemail?
I used package disabler to disable the visual voicemail just fine.

There were no steps on my part. I called and said hey this visual voice is annoying. The tech support person said "I'll remove it from your account" and that was it. Try logging into your Sprint account and under "additional services" click "remove." Then just disable/uninstall it on your phone

Yeah my experience wasn't like that when I called in or is there anything under additional services for voicemail or am I able to uninstall or disable....
So what do you have in the bottom left corner of your phone keypad currently? Is the icon still there? If you click it what happens?

You did not mention that. Not sure how your going to call Sprint to remove the app when you are on ATT? You will have to take a chance on disabling it.

My wish is that we all slow down when we read and re-read before we post a reply. As you can read bLueBry said "I have an unlocked s7 930p" a sprint phone "my carrier is att."
I'm using 930u firmware on my 930p which doesn't have a voicemail app. I don't want visual voicemail, I would like the original dial in to voicemail and still get notifications.
