Fully Remove Google Voice Search

Question

I am running Lollipop on the LG G3 and due to a loose connection on the audio jack google voice search gets activated everytime a slight movement of ANY attached cable.

Now, I would like to deactivate google voice search completely. My phone is rooted and i am willing to raze any part of the file system to stop this annoying hellfire.

It is annoying because I can be on a free-hands call and google voice search asks me over the speakers "In order to do a google voice search please unlock your phone".

Additionally, the same physical problem results on the default music player starting to play music. Is there a wat to deactivate the wire control for the music player ?

Answer 1

• Open your Google app (not chrome).
• Press "more"
• On the new screen press "settings"
• You should see "google assistant" and "voice", press "voice"
• Press "voice match" under the"ok Google" section.
• You have finally reached the screen you need. Here turn of the setting "access with voice match"

Answer 2

It should be pretty simple to just remove the app, I've done this on many devices without issue.

I recommend using Titanium Backup. Just find voice search in its app list, tap it, and choose uninstall.
