On Samsung Galaxy S2 (not rooted) everytime I accidently double press the home button, the voice command app comes up.
How can I disable this?
For a non-rooted phone, this is the best I have found:
Now if you double-tap, a short sound will be heard, but you won't hear the "What would you like to do?" anymore.
I have disabled it using App-Freeze on Titanium Backup. This works well, and is entirely reversible, but appears to require both the Pro key (paid) and root.
A possible alternative would be removing it using either the terminal or ADB. The apk in question is /system/app/VoiceToGo.apk (com.vlingo.client.samsung), and my phone hasn't had a problem with it having been disabled. I would recommend backing it up, though, on the off chance.
- Install Go Launcher from Google Play.
- Open the app drawer.
- Press and hold on the blue voice command icon until it starts shaking.
- Click on the "X" button and choose uninstall. Follow the instructions.
- Optionally, you can uninstall Go Launcher.
You can follow the following steps to disable Voice Command
on ICS:
home screen
go to Settings
then Applications
.Voice Command
in the Downloaded
or All
tabs Disable
option appears - select and then ok
. It will not prompt again.Clear data
and then ok
. The next time you mistakenly double click do not confirm the Samsung Disclaimer but select the back button instead.Double press the menu key in the S Voice application, go to Settings, and disable starting S Voice via double pressing the home button.
I just upgraded my S2 to ICS and continued facing the same problem.. The solution for the problem is Settings -> Language and Input -> Keyboard and input methods. Make sure Google voice typing is unchecked... Problem solved...
Now I have installed Cyanogenmod 9 and this does not happen anymore. I don't think, this problem can be solved via settings of Samsungs Android version
I don't know about the S2, but I've just discovered that for the Galaxy Note, there's a setting "Launch voice talk" (launch by double-tapping home) that only appears when Vlingo is set as the voice recognition engine. If you choose Google, the option goes away.
Inside the voice command:
On Droid Razr, running ICS, it is under Accessibility, in the system settings menu:
Scroll to the bottom and you should see a double tap home launch field, click it and it will allow you to set it to "none".
