Please understand, this is the first forum I've ever done. Here it goes. When I got my new Galaxy S 5, I didn't want to use the S Voice, so I wanted to disable it and get it out of the way. Being new to smart phones I must have deleted the app. I don't have an icon or anything that I can 'turn on'. I find no evidence of it ever being on my phone. I've even looked at the play store and typed in S Voice, and I don't see it. I need some help. I bought my phone new and unlocked so I could use Consumer Cellular.
I also own an Apple computer and OMG!! these two do not want to talk to each other :(

What steps did you do to "disabled" it?
For instance did you install and use a certain app such as titanium backup or did you just use tools that you had on your phone?

If you just used options that were on your phone try going to:
settings / Application Manager / sliding over to "all" / scroll down to "s voice" / if it's there try turning it back on

Yeah, thanks everyone for all your comments. I found it in the App Manager under the three little dots in some wierd place. I don't know how everyone learns this stuff. It's amazing to me. You all have a great day!
Agreed. It's a very weird place to have it. And if you use a launcher, it may not even be there, at least that's the case with Nova. I found there is a Samsung Apps widget you can use to get them installed, too. It was preloaded on my phone.

I'm using Nova launcher also, but he probably is not, so I did not mention that it shows up in the Nova screens.
