Voice dialer on LG G2

Hello
Recently got an LG G2. (Android 4.2.2)
Paired it with my Jawbone ERA without any problem. I can hear music, answer incomming calls and talk without any problem.

The bug is when I try to place a call from my Bluetooth device. When I push the button on my Jawbone era the voice dialer opens on the phone and tell me to say the command. This is done in French since
the language pack is set to Francais(France)
I would have liked to see French Canadian among the language packs but to non avail. ( may be it could make a difference if one existed ?)

Bizzarely, the splash screen of the "reconnaissance vocale" (vocal recognition or voice dialer) states "US English" at its top, even if I hear the commands in French.
When I say "appeler" (call) "un_nom" ( a name ) it will offer me multiple choices but then after I pick one and say the command, it says "je n'ai rien compris" ( I did not unsterstand).
I love the new phone but as far as this part is concerned, it sucks !
It used to run soooo smoothly on my old iPhone 4.0.

I want to be able to touch my ear device while in a car and place a call without having to manipulate the phone.

Is there a way to override the voice control and go through placing a call by the voice command and this by default ? Is there an app that would do the job ? Does a language pack exists for French Canadian ?

Please help ! I have benn pulling my hair on this one for a few weeks now.
 
Hi,
I also have a real problem with the Voice Command app that came with my LG G2 android. You should have heard the argument I had with it today, using my blue-tooth Jabra earpiece; "Call Bev". "Did you say call Doug mobile?" "no" "did you say Call Doug Home?" "No", "did you say Call Big R work". "NO!" "command not recognized. did you say Call Big R work?" "NO!" "command not recognized. Please say a command." "Call Bev". "did you say call Ben Haws?" "NO!" "command not recognized. Please say a command." " (shouting) Call Bev Mobile!" "Did you say call Berne?" Me; "SHUT UP!" And then I pulled out my phone from its carrying case on my hip and punched in the speed dial and hit send. Now, mind you, I've told it to "call Bev" several times before and it will answer "Did you say call Bev Mobile?" and I'll say "Yes" and it will say "Calling toBev mobile". VERY VERY annoying because this kind of thing happens all the time. I'm searching for a better voice command app for my LG G2.
