What's up with Voice Command

[blackdogAC]

My state just passed a law making it illegal to operate hand-held devices while driving. So I'm checking out Voice Command on the G3. The options are pretty limited.
"Call Jim Smith"...OK, got that. it works petty well.
"Play Music"...it opens the stock music player wherever you last left off. There's no way to control what artist it will play. Or to stop it.

You can say "Open Rocket Player" or "Open Pandora" ...any app pretty much, seems to work.
But you can't stop anything. And you can't subsequently select music or anything else.

Anyone have some experience with this and any tips to share?

I don't have much experience on this, but I will ask the other ambassadors.

OK, thanks.

All I know is it doesn't work to well. I tried using it for just voice dialing and it kept rejecting me, almost started taking it personally.

Root the phone.
Buy the pro version of tasker and Auto Voice.
I can do things like:
BT On
BT Off
Volume Up
Silent Mode
Vibrate Mode
Auto Brightness On
Auto Brightness Off

The possibilities are endless.
Also integrated with Google Voice command so I say OK Google first the the other command.

Just download Commandr for free in the Play store and it does comparable things like that on the cheap.

Anything giving you the ability to select artists or albums in the stock or other music players?
I've heard of OK Gogle but frankly I'm hesitant to get overly-wrapped into their all-encompassing sphere. Yeah- I know, I'm on android and I have Gmail, but I think I want to limit it to that. And Commandr is made to run as an add-on to OK Google.
