Yeah, that's why I am a little confused. It seems I am getting mixed information. But I noticed task took Loki out of his title, that's why I was curious about how fast this is evolving and what has changed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] LostInMyHead:
ATM, an ATT phone must be running a Loki recovery, and the ROM must be Loki patched, unless you flash non-Loki ROM, then a Loki Kernel.

Flashing a Loki ROM to a Canadian phone will bootloop. I will try to ask Task about his ROM.

Since your bootloader is unlocked, and I see no mention of Task's ROM being Loki patched, you should just be able to flash it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dxwilliams40:
You can flash it but it won't be supported. Task won't support anything he can't test. Questions about it just derails the thread.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] h0m3l3s5:
I'm using an ATT Siemens SX56. I went to http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ and cooked the new Siemens ROM image (NK.nb1). I burned the image on a 256MB PNY SD Card. I reset the XDA but the flash doesnt start. All it asked me was if I want to format the card or not. I even tried to hard-reset it, but still no luck.

I'm presently using a T-Mobile WM2003 Beta

I would say, you have the wrong bootloader on your device.

Try the fix bootloader option from the XDA Tools....

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rhd-android:
I have avoided Google now for the previous two iterations of phone... but I'm giving it a shot on the S4!

There are two outstanding Google Now questions that I can't seem to find a clear answer to by Googling (there's a joke in there somewhere).

1) How do I actually trigger Google now? I've tried saying Google, that doesn't work. The best I've been able to do is map the double home button to launch voice input, but that's s poor solution. If I have to use button presses to trigger it, then I may as well just do whatever I was trying to do in the first place with my fingers. IE, it's no time time savings to double press the home button and then say a command, vs just clicking on the app icon I'm trying to launch (probably a time penalty in fact).

What am I missing? Why isn't my Google Now listening to me in the background? Am I just using the wrong trigger word?

2) The beep that follows voice recognition is incredibly loud, substantially louder than the speech response that Google feeds back. How do I disable the beep entirely? It's redundant and disruptive. The best solution online seems to be to mute notifications in general. That's a non starter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] acruxksa:
You trigger it by starting the Google app and following the instructions. It's the google app, not the google+ app or the google settings app.

After that it just kind of runs. starts out slow at first but more cards appear over time, but you can pull it up anytime by running the google app.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rhd-android:
Yes.... I realize how to run the app.... and how to follow its instructions :)

How do I trigger it, that's my question/query/frustration. As mentioned, it works fine if I double-tap the home button to launch the Google Now app manually. It also works fine if I go into my apps and find the Google Now icon, and then launch it that way, or if I use a shortcut, widget, etc to open up the app.

What I can't figure out, is how to actually trigger it during regular use. Short of going in and manually launching Google Now, I can't get it to trigger - I can't get it to listen to me. I've tried saying "Google", "Android, "Ok Android", "Ok Google", etc, and almost every other ridiculous phrase I can think of. Nothing triggers it short of manually launching the app by hand.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] acruxksa:
Once I set it up, it comes up every time I tap on the google search bar. However, normally I don't mess with it, it just automatically sends me notification cards when it thinks I need them.

For instance right now it's showing me a notification card for the last Sharks Kings game, my upcoming flight and several cards for things I've researched a lot lately like the S4, Voodoo Sound, Vsonic GR02 headphones, Fiio E07K etc. Also has my stocks and the local weather. I didn't "do" anything to get the cards, they just appear in my notification bar or whenever I tap the search bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rhd-android:
That's fine - once setup, it comes up every time I tap the Google search bar too. That's not my issue.

My problem is that I cannot get it to trigger by my voice. Unless I manually launch the app first each and every time I want it to do something, it does not respond to my voice. It responds to my voice just fine

if I manually I launch the app first

, but that's the

only

time I can get it to work. At all other times, I may as well be speaking to my shoe ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] j510:
Hold menu button for couple seconds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ripper4209:
Easy answer. You can't you have to launch it first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rhd-android:
That can't be...? What use would a hands-free system be if you have to use your hands and navigate into an app before it will take hands-free voice commands?

Isn't the whole deal with this voice stuff that you can just talk to it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] geomax45:
In my experience, the hotword detection only works after you've manually triggered the app. It only relieves you from physically tapping the microphone icon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] wase4711:
get a bt headset and activate it that way..It can't be 100% hands free; it would have to be on all the time, and then you would complain about how much battery it was eating...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
On my Google Now, saying "Google" does work. As long as the actual App has already been activated and is standing by that is.

On my "S Voice", saying, "Hi Galaxy" works, but it is customizable for other triggering phrases.

You are correct about Google Now only responding the first time though. If you want it to voice activate again you have to use the back key to get back to the original screen or completely re-launch it. It just seems that is the way it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rhd-android:
Wow - this is significantly less impressive than I had envisioned. I was under the mistaken impression that Google Now (and Siri on the iPhone) just responded to their trigger words whenever uttered.

This strikes me as somewhat limited in usefulness until they get these apps to listen constantly. If I need to know the weather, why use my hands to launch Google Now, then ask for the weather, and then wait for it, if I could instead just use my hands to launch my weather app directly?

I must be missing all the excitement - or maybe Siri / Google Now are meant for people who can't figure out their phones?

On the issue of that annoying confirmation sound, I'm halfway there. The APK is in data/apps, and it's called "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1.apk". Inside that apk there is a folder called "res", and inside that there's another folder called "raw". In that folder you'll find the WAV files for each sound.

Unfortunately, that's where my efforts die. I can't seem to open the wav files on a PC (even in audio editing software). I can't just delete them either, or Google Now crashes. I similarly can't just replace them with less annoying wav files from my PC - that crashes Google Now also. I'll see what I can do about finding a way to just upon them for the purpose of lowering their volume (or blanking them) and report back with my results (if any).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] @rbiter:
Don't you think some people DON'T want it on all the time? It could mistakenly trigger it and possibly do an unwanted action. It is fine in it's current implementation. I would think in the future as voice recognition and battery technology improves we might see an always on Google now or siri but right now it would/could cause more problems than create convenience.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] johnus:
A new version of Chrome (for desktop) is coming out that supposedly will do this, but it's just not feasible on a mobile device. At least not yet. Do you really want your phone's mic on 24/7 feeding audio to the processor, constantly running voice recognition on every sound it hears? Imagine how horrible the battery life would be. Not to mention the privacy concerns of that (and legal issues, I can see something like this breaking wiretap laws in several states).

Even Google Glass requires you to either touch it or activate it through a head motion so it starts listening. The same with Siri on iOS. The point is you only have to do one thing to start issuing a variety of commands. You can do it without looking at the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jsmith8858:
As mentioned, think logically about what you are asking for. If your phone's microphone was always on, listening to and parsing every single noise it hears 24/7 to detect the word Google, think about what the battery implications. Every sound it hears it must analyze, all day long. Then, consider any time it thinks it hears Google, it will immediately turn on and listen for more input and then try to respond to that. It's just not feasible to expect this without killing your battery and also dealing with the many false positives that might constantly be making your phone do stuff you didn't intend.

Having said that, you are missing the key part of Google Now which sort of addresses your issues with it. Google Now doesn't listen 24/7 for you to speak to it, it analyzes data such as your search history, location, Google now settings, gmail, calendar, and so on, to proactively give you information before you even ask for it. That's the appeal and the main idea of Now. You still get the searching, the voice commands, etc, but you also get an "assistant" that doesn't need you to constantly tell it what you want. (In theory of course)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rhd-android:
Yep - and that's where I thought the tech was at. I thought we had overcome these problems. I thought we were able to accomplish the above.

I played with it a bunch yesterday, and there was nothing that I could do faster with voice (given that I had to use hands to trigger the app first) than I could do with just hands alone. I tested a lot of common tasks, and launching the app + giving a voice command and waiting for the response action was always slower (not even factoring in voice errors - that's assuming 100% accuracy).

The ability to constantly listen is fundamental to voice commands being useful on a smartphone (in my mind). I just jumped the gun and thought we were there already (adverts certainly make it seem like we are). Until we hit that point, until we have a system that is responsive like KIT, or HAL, or LCARS, I think voice commands are impractical. It needs constant listening. Interestingly, it looks like the industry agrees:

http://www.technologyreview.com/new...d-respond-to-your-voice-even-when-its-asleep/

http://www.techradar.com/news/compu...mm-processor-will-always-be-listening-1132647

^ that tech largely addresses jsmith8858's concerns.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] @rbiter:
It's not there yet. It is still very handy when you're multitasking and the best example is driving. Sure I would love to not have to tap my phone a couple if times, but it is still worlds better than losing focus taking my phone out if dock, making those couple taps and typing out my message or commands. Not to mention keeping a CPU and microphone running at all times keeping your phone awake at the same time and it is just not viable. I don't think apple could pull it off either as it would just keep iOS running and running when the phone is not in use. Then there's the privacy factor. I don't think this will be viable for at least another couple of years.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] MentalToast:
Siri also doesn't respond by keyword launch. S-voice seems like the only one that does and it's definitely less than stellar. As jsmith8858 said above, it's a proactive assistant. Google Now is there for you to give you information it believes you might need before you ask for it. I.e. If i google a place on google maps on my desktop, When i look at google now on my phone a moment later, it has the pop up of directions and estimated time (that i can bring up in maps or navigation by tapping) of where it was when I just searched.

There are third party apps you can use with custom roms that you can bind double-tap home button to initiate voice search, or you can add voice search as a shortcut on your lock screen as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KILLplay:
I was watching TV and someone on TV said Google, and it triggered the app so I'm pretty sure that there is a way to do it without using your hands, especially because of how many times they said there was a way during one of those recent Key notes regarding it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jpdediego:
As far as I know, the only phone that triggers Google now by saying "Ok Google now" is the new moto X, but it has a processor dedicated to ear what you are saying.

I don't know if this ability cam be ported to our s4 and what will be the price to pay about battery consumption.

If it is compatible and can be programmed to work on a7 cores in the i9500 version it might be doable. I don't think anybody knows how specialized the two co processors are in the moto x.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TheColdOne:
I read through the thread and didn't notice an answer to the second question.

Is there a way to turn off the beep/ding when activating voice search? It is VERY loud, to the point of causing pain, and I couldn't find any options to turn it down/off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rhd-android:
There was no solution suggested :(

I tried manually deleting the beep audio file from the APK, but I only succeeded in creating a force-closing version of Google voice search.

I suspect that someone with more experience modifying APKs could relatively easily delete the beep file for us, or more likely, replace the file with blank audio, and provide a modified APK. I don't know if that's allowed under XDA / other rules or not. If it isn't, I'm not meaning to encourage it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] danny39:
The S4 doesn't have that feature. That's Moto X/Nexus 5 stuff
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] NighthawkXL:
I'm using Home2 Shortcut in order to have Google Voice Search activate when I double-tap the Home button, akin to S-Voice. From there I can use it to launch apps, control Google Now,etc. is that what your looking for?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] johnus:
If you install the new KitKat launcher from the Nexus 5 along with the updated GNow, you get this functionality - at least while you are on a home screen or in Google Now.

Am I the only one that hates the built in Gallery App and how slow it is when you have a lot of pics.

This isnt a problem as I have QuickPic installed. However the Messaging (and Mail) add do NOT give you a list of image pickers when you attached (very anti Android HTC)

Can someone fix this? Or know a solution.

Thanks

Dan
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] Galactus:
I quite like the stock gallery, it's smooth for me and is a whole world smoother than the stock gallery on the S3 and S4. QuickPic is nice though
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] chief1978:
I have 37 albums with 50-100 pics in teach. Trust me it's slow, and every time I attach a pic it defaults to events install of albums.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] Galactus:
Anything will be a bit slow if its got a possible 3700 photos, especially since it's always auto generating zoes on the fly. Not sure about the whole events thing, if I pick Albums it stays as albums, even if I add new photos. Sounds like you'd be better off just using QuickPic to be honest and you'll just have to work with the Gallery as it is. Maybe try a different messaging app and see if it lets you dictate what app to use when attaching photos.

Edit: I'm using GoSMS. Tried attaching a photo as SMS and it brought up a list of apps to choose from (gallery, dropbox etc)
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] chief1978:
Thanks but thats the issue really.

I am using a combination of Handcent and Stock - the reason I have to go to stock is sending MMS over Wifi (TMobile). Handcent doesnt support that.

So its just an annoyance but one I was hoping to resolve by just using Stock - but without it being able to attach from 3rd party Galleries it is a problem.

I am just frustrated that HTC didn't make their Messaging/Mail app support the normal Android methods of attaching files and providing a list of compatible apps.

Also of note - when you are in QuickPic and you Share a Image - the messaging App doesn't appear. Which again - bad HTC Bad!!!
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] Galactus:
Yeah that really is silly of them, forcing you to use their apps pretty much. Same as how they've made it so that only their official headset with volume controls actually work. All other 3 button headsets can only skip tracks
