Ok, ridiculously stupid question here.

I flashed the G Now zip, double-checked permissions. How do I open the app?? It doesn't show up in my applications list, and I can't find any widgets for it.

Went back and re-flashed again, still nothing.

Edit: found it, it's just called "Google." Silly me.

First, In calendar settings, have your phone # verified. Google will send you a text msg.

Once your phone is verified, create a contact "calendar", use the number google used to text ya from as the phone number for calendar

Than, just use google now to voice text calendar whatever you want, like "text calendar meeting tomorrow with Jenna, Bella and Lisa" :silly:

Hey Lioryte - haven't seen you in a long time.

Anyway, I did all that and confirmed it. My problem is with it performing the text function via voice. In other words, I start it up and it recognizes what I'm saying, but it just doesn't actually create or send a text. It's like it doesn't recognize the "text" command function.
[Android Apps and Games] lioryte:
Yea, ltnt... does it work and in regular text msg? ie just text calendar something like meeting Monday 8am. See if that works
[Android Apps and Games] rfarrah:
Yes, I should have said that outright. I can manually text to my calendar and it does post it (which really is pretty cool). Maybe it just doesn't like my voice. :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] lioryte:
Lol can you voice text at all? Maybe try to set calendar again?
[Android Apps and Games] rfarrah:
Nope, voice text not working for me at all. I checked settings earlier today to see if there was something I was missing, but couldn't find any new button to push or box to check.

This little snippet is probably the cause of the Calander Workaround not working for me. Thought I'd post it here for anyone else. I will see tomorrow if the shortcodes have been unblocked. Took too many days to get to this, but what can you do, lol? I also changed to the R3 versions of velvet and GoogleTTS. When I tap the search bar, Google now opens, but when I say "google", the microphone doesn't open. It can hear me and text populates the search bar, but the past search results disappear and no new results come up. I have to manually tap the mic to get it to do anything, in which case it pops up, pulsates and works normally. If I am correct, the only real difference between the various versions is the velvet.apk and maybe the GoogleTTS. Now, I did this because it said "auto launch would work with the R3 version. So, am I trying to auto-launch wrong?

EDIT: I was right, shortcodes were blocked for me for some reason. Finally got them unblocked.

EDIT: Yes, finally got it working thanks to your excellent instructions. "Note to self" worked once but now fc's, but I can live with that.

If CM9 is ICS(I can't remember), then I'd check the first six posts of the Google Now thread to trouble shoot. Read everything carefully, it is really complete. If CM9 is not ICS, then that's your problem right there.

You probably don't have enough system space. Look at the end of the first post in the Google Now for ICS thread linked in my sig, and follow the posting instructions on what information we need from you to determine the problem.

text hot word not working

Hi All

I have been searching around here for a few hours yesterday and today tying to figure out why the 'text' hotword is not working for me. I have been able to get it to text a contact via voice once, but never to the calendar contact. It just keeps bringing up web search results.

I saw a few people having what looked like the same issue, but I didn't see a solution.

Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running VZW Galaxy S3 with the latest CleanRom, I have also tried it with the same results on today's Official CM10 Nighties w/ JustunBean inverted Gapps.

Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] bso44:
When you guys send a text via Google Now, do you get a status bar that counts down and automatically sends or do you have to manually press the "send"? I could've sworn that texts were automatically sent before but now I'm only given the option to manually send.
[Android Apps and Games] Firstsage:
The one time it worked for me i had to manually send, meaning it showed me the contact and the message.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
I just solved this for myself a couple of days ago. I'm sure my problems began within the last 10 pages or so. Just look back. I couldn't get the setup correct in Google Calendar on my PC. The key for me was to re-enable short codes from T-Mobile to finish the Google Calendar setup. After that following the rest of the instructions, it works.
[Android Apps and Games] TheCrow1372:
Yeah but don't u notice that if u set it up the way he says that when u say "text calender, met Bob at 10:30am Tuesday" or what ever it just goes to actually text calender it doesn't seem to put the date in the actual calender? I set it up exactly as mentioned and put it in contacts as (Calender 48...., primary) and as I said it creates a text not an actual date??

[Android Apps and Games] Firstsage:
Thanks for the response RaymondPJR. I did see your post and thought our issues were similar, but different in that I can't get Google Now to recognize that I want to send a text. It sees the request as a web search. That is the issue I am trying to address. Seems like it is not recognizing the hot word 'text' or 'text message'.

I am new to the android community, so maybe we are saying the same thing?
[Android Apps and Games] DeSaint2:
Have you tried "send message to contact message here"?
[Android Apps and Games] Firstsage:
Hey DeSaint2-

Yep, I tried 'send text message' 'send text' 'text' all of the different ways i could think of. It always seems to pickup on the last words and do a search.
[Android Apps and Games] RaymondPJR:
For me it does both, I think that's how this hack is supposed to work. I get a test message of whatever I said, and it gets put into my Calendar. When I finally got it working, I started getting a daily itinerary via text message as well as the event set in my calendar.

---------- Post added at 08:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

What version are you using, I'm using M7 that I installed manually, plus i didn't forget to change Googlesearchbar_usa.apk to Googlesearchbar.apk, just deleting "_usa". Don't remember why, but the instructions said to do that. "Note to self" is the one that works just once for me no matter what version of hacked Gmail I use, but I'm going to give up on that for now.
[Android Apps and Games] cajunflavoredbob:
All current full zips will delete the "_usa" version apks as well. No need to rename them anymore.

It didn't work when I spoke the calendar event I wanted to add so I manually texted to see if it would, and it did. Any suggestion? I didn't get the option to send text via voice search.. how can I get that pop up to show up.. I think that might be my problem.

EDIT: Saying "text calender" doesn't work for me for some reason but I changed my calender contact name to "Sarah" or "Gabby" (made up name not in my contact list) and it works like a charm for me. Go figure!

All I can do is show you how it works for me.

1. Speak a command-"Text Calendar, blah, blah, blah...

2. Card shows up with text and option to send-thumbnail #1.

3. Tap to send and dialog box shows up, tap Messaging voice text, set as default-thumbnail #2.

4. Message shows up in drop down menu(sms messaging too)-thumbnail #3.

5. Event is added to Calendar, in this case Samsung Calendar-thumbnail #4.

I have no idea why you can't get the option to choose between Google Search and Voice Search. No idea about the calendar either, but maybe someone more knowledgeable will chime in.

Try spelling the name, I used Voice Plus/Jeannie a lot until just recently rooted and changed to G-Now and all the personal voice data accumulated still works. It takes time for it to learn but it does...and at times is scary how good it had gotten. The JB software combined with my voice recognition in G-now (and the mic on Razr Maxx) set it up so that it was picking up me reading threads to myself, pieced it together and did what I wanted...all while phone was sitting next to my laptop! Also, might be good to try using Jeannie/Voice Plus by Pannous to get voice recognition built up without conflicts that seem to come from flashing G-Now on ICS. (And Jeannie is fun to "train"; she plays a great game of 20 questions!)

Hope this helps, I love using voice commands so the more users I can convert the better!
