[HELP] Voice Search Problem!

[Tygr]

I have searched all over for a answer to this, however I can't seem find a working solution.

I press the mic hard key on my Liberty 2.0.1 Droid 2 and it comes up with
-Messaging (from liberty)
-and Voice Search

I downloaded Voice Search by Google several times now and still cannot get it to work. I remember before Liberty I could press the hard key and it would allow me to TALK, transcribing my speech into text. Now it forces me to use the Voice Search program which is rather finicky and not my taste.

Is there a way I can get this Voice to Text working correctly again? I miss it.

Try going to settings/applications/manage applications/voice search and clear data and cache.

 

[Tygr]

Thank you for the reply. I do that but still have the same problem.

I select inside the text box.
I press the mic hard key.
It brings up the 'speak now' menu.
I say hello.
It Google searches hello.

-_- Does anyone elses work correctly? I even reflashed!

 

[Tygr]

Help me please. I really enjoy the speed of liberty. I don't want to sacrifice functionality.

I've been looking all over every forum I know of to find a fix for your problem and I can't find a single thing. When you uninstall Voice Search (Voice to Text) it still leaves remnants of that app.

If you have a Terminal Emulator, on your Droid, try typing this in the Emulator:

su
mount -o rw,remount /system
rm -f /data/app/com.google.android.voicesearch-2.apk
pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch-2.apk

Make sure you hit enter after each line. When done, exit out of the Terminal, reboot your phone, go back to the Market re-download it and try again. See if that helped at all or not.

Swagger! I really REALLY appreciate your time and your effort in helping me. Upon visiting Google's website, I learned that Voice Search MAY NOT be what I am looking for!.

I think it was BLUR from Motorola that I associated with Google, presuming it was an Android addition. Checking into it currently.

That is what I am reading through atm.

Thanks again for your replies guys. <3

 

[Tygr]

No luck with my BLUR idea.

Trying your solution now.

In Terminal Emulator I started with
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
sysrw
success

su
says nothing

mount -o rw,remount /system
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory

rm -f /data/app/com.google.android.voicesearch-2.apk
rm failed for -f, Read-only file system

pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch-2.apk
Failure
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tried it a few times and still nothing. I used Root Explorer and it doesn't seem that I have a file by that name. Maybe I will try clear data and cache, reboot, reinstall and try your idea again.

Any more help is HIGHLY appreciated!

If you go into Root Explorer, go into data, then go into app. Look for a file "com.google.android.voicesearch-2.apk" That's where it is suppose to be located. If its not there then that may be also causing parts of your problem.

I have com.google.android.voicesearch-1.apk

With a 1 and not a 2. Does it make a difference?

 

[TheSwaggeR]

I don't imagine it does. Can you try it in the Terminal Emulator again? Only this time don't put "com.google.android.voicesearch-2.apk"

Change it to "com.google.android.voicesearch-1.apk" and see if that uninstalls it. That's why it failed because I put a 2 (which is what mine shows) and yours is a 1.

Then reboot, and try re-downloading Voice Search and see if that fixes anything.

 

[Tygr]

It replied with read only file system again. :/

 

[TheSwaggeR]

It's because your system isn't mounted. Once you mount your system it becomes read/write instead of read-only.

The lines I gave you is suppose to help you mount your system by using that command.

su means you're giving the Emulator SuperUser permission.

 

[Tygr]

When I type su it doesnt say anything, however terminal emulator gets superuser when i open it. It get a pop up immediately upon opening it that it is granted super user privileges.

Perhaps something is interfering with it mounting correctly? Earlier I posted my results with terminal emulator. Does the feedback from terminal look correct?

 

[TheSwaggeR]

Everything is fine except you aren't mounting your system first.

This line here:

mount -o rw,remount /system

Will mount your system. Notice "rw" that means read/write.

Are you doing all of this on the Terminal Emulator on your phone?

Here is the command lines again. Try without su this time. Type each line accordingly and hit enter where I say (hit enter).

mount -o rw,remount /system (hit enter)
rm -f /data/app/com.google.android.voicesearch-1.apk (hit enter)
pm uninstall com.google.android.voicesearch-1.apk (hit enter)

Exit out of Emulator. Reboot phone.

Make sure you use the space between the lines where it shows on the command lines above.

I am using Terminal Emulator from my phone, yes.

When I type
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
rm -f /data/app/com.google.android.voicesearch-1.apk
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I get text back that reads
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And I continue to type
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
rm -f /data/app/com.google.android.voicesearch-1.apk
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And in return I AGAIN get
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
rm failed for -f, Read-only file system
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



I feel like I need to do something different after it says
Usage: mount [-r] [-w] [-o options] [-t type] device directory
