Help Not 'Hi Galaxy'

Is there a way to activate google now instead of s voice?

I wonder if you could launch Google Now with S Voice? :p I know it's an extra step, but worth a shot.

On a more serious note, I read that S Voice can be shut off or disabled; though I'm not sure if one has to launch S Voice and go into the settings there, or if the option is in the settings menu somewhere.

Yes you can change the wake up command to whatever you want!

This as as far as I can get. So how?

Looks like settings are changed again with 4.3.

Can you guys press and hold the menu key to get google? I can on the Note 2 without any issues and press the mic icon in the search bar to speak.

Is that what some of you are looking for? Or did that change with 4.3?


Yes that option is still available but on 4.3 you can wake up s voice option by simply saying "hi galaxy" *insert command* but you can change that wake up command to something like "hello beautiful* or whatever you choose and s voice is ready to be used

Interesting they had to move the option elsewhere. In 4.1.2, you just go into S Voice settings to change the basic wake up phrase for S Voice and you're done. You can also setup 4 different wake up functions as well. No need to go into lock screen options for that.
