What does this do that you cannot do with the new google voice program?

When you put it in "InCar" mode you can say "Hey Vlingo" to wake it up and use voice commands.
FYI, this works on the VZW with the Incredible with no problem..

Also, it works! The new Google program is about 1/10 in getting what I say right.
Vlingo is (so far) about 5/5. I like that if it doesn't find what you're saying locally, it does a (very fast) internet search.

any word on making it work for other android devices? ie the g-1

Works great on the dinc. I appreciate the share!

thank you so much for sharing this app with the community. I have been fooling around with it for half an hour or so and it does some pretty awesome things. LOVE the in-car feature, completely hands-free and works perfectly, even reads and writes text messages for me. "hey vlingo"
Edit: Forgot to add, very accurate, even with names

Wow, the incar mode is really REALLY good. Anybody know how to have it differentiate between a contacts home and cell when sending a text message?

Say call blah blah mobile. That should work.

Google's voice search sucked at recognizing what I was saying for the first week or so, but then it got a lot better. I'm wondering if it learns your voice or something. Vlingo, on the other hand, worked well on day one. However, while it does a good job of recognizing what I am saying, it doesn't always give me the results I wanted. For instance, movie times never come up even though that's one of the examples the app shows, and it displays my exact phrase correctly (movie times near #####). It just says "No answer found". And I've also had trouble getting it to dial the right phone number for a contact. It's like it ignores when I say "mobile."

I'm having the same problem. It ignores when I say "mobile" after the contacts name. My g/f is getting irritated with the text to landline messages that repeat "test" lol

Is it necessary to install the standard Vlingo app before installing the incar pack?
I´ve been trying to download the installer but i still cant find it, it´s not in the market either.
It would be much if I ask to share the installer?

? It's in the second post of this thread.

anyway to successfully have this running in the background with the in-car? Currently it seems that the program has to be on main screen for me to say "Hey Vlingo" and it wakes...
Plus..too bad I cant say Jarvis to have it wake up

Instead of 'mobile' try saying 'cell'.

Right now the best way is to make two contacts for the person and label one cell and one home after the name. Best workaround at the moment.

Yeah, I went ahead and did that the other day, but thanks! Hopefully that will get sorted.
It would be nice if you could ask it to use your GV # by default as well.

i wonder if there is any way to train a contact that it gets wrong every time. Wifes name is tricky and unless i use her last name first it misses it every time.

Predictive dialing for android

Guys, is there a program that gives me predictive dialing for the android? I have Froyo.
I found Dial one or something like that and it works fine, BUT, there is a formatting problem and it puts the persons name on TOP of the date last called and all that and it makes it harder to read, AND looks ****ty!
I'm also using a program that makes my fonts bigger which might be interfering but normally, it doesn't.
THanks

Tried TakePhone yet? 30 day trial if you get it from his website, shsh.com, then buy it from him direct or from the market.

Thanks
I don't see anything about predictive dialing but I can give it a try.
If I get it from his site, how do I install it on the nexus?
Thanks
George

You could also try TouchPal dialer free from the Market. It's got predictive dialing and is a bit more speedy than DialerOne.

I remember I loved this on my T-Mobile Wing. I could type in 323 and dad would come up.
Nowadays, I just use the search button in the dialer to find the contact in question. Just type their name out haha.

It's bull****! You'd think that on a 700 dollar phone, this would be standard
THanks by the way, I'll try the latest suggestion.

Go there on the phone? Chrome to phone? ADB push? Copy to sd card?

Ok, that was greek to me, Download to the SD card?
I assume Chrome is what the browser is but what's that AD something?

Whew, that saved me from being a jerk! Just kidding....
Just go to his website on your phone and hit the download button. Chrome to Phone is a browser extension available in Chrome, Firefox, maybe other browsers, which lets you send a URL directly to the phone to download.

Hey, unlike all the other idiots, at least I'm aware of it. Makes me smarter then doesn't it?
I will give it a shot and I will most certainly screw it up so I'll be back soon

my droid incredible does this out of the box...

Well, I think that's common sense and the sad thing is, some HTC phones have it and some don't. Makes no damn sense at all.
I had it on an HTC three years ago
What about the option of having LARGE fonts? Large enough for ol' farts like me?
NOthing. Gotta pimp my $hit to get apps on there to do it. Damn embarrassment to techs all over the world. They make a phone that can make coffee but they can't even figure out the simplest of things like hey, use the WHOLE screen for stuff, hey, have an option for large fonts, large icons, less space between icons and options for a large clock..
I think they're all idiots and that's my final answer!

try youlu address book...
the best in my opinion

Is this available in the market? I tried androlib but it's not there
Thanks

Dialer One is.

DialerOne is laggy.
I wasn't able to fine TouchPad dialer on the market neither on AppBrain. Could someone help with link.
Meanwhile I'll try youlu address book.

balex, let me know where you find youlu and what you think about it.
Thanks

Yep, very nice and very peppy little app. However, I managed to change the layout in the favorites to thumbnails and I don't know how to get it back to LIST mode.
Any advice?
Thanks

That's because you've spelled it wrong. It's TOUCHPAL, not touchpad. It's free in the market, works great in English and Chinese, and is a lot speedier than DialerOne, but has all the same features.

Youlu is faster than DialerOne but there are 3 things I'm missing here:
1. There is no * on the dial pad. I didn't find an option to call to phone number *1234.
2. With DialerOne I have shortcut to the call log screen and it appears with dial pad. I can start searching (T9 style) right away. In Youlu there are different tabs/screens for dial pad, calls log, contacts and favorites. If I use shortcut to calls log I have to do extra click for dial pad
3. In DialerOne there are few places you can press on a single line on calls log screen: 1. direct call, 2. calls log of specific contact, 3. mini-menu to dial, sms, face, mail to the contact or open contact details. It's less options in Youlu: direct call to the number or calls log of the specific contact (like if you got 3 calls from him and return one back)
I'm still wondering what best for me.

Youtube

It's not really much, but I have noticed that finding youtube on the market is incredibly difficult. Whenever I search "youtube," I get hundreds of results that are not youtube before I give up. I realize that it can be done by scanning a QR code, but I deal like google should at least have a better search engine for the market.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

When I search for "youtube" in the market it's usually in the first 3 results that are shown :/. That's wierd, I know the market is based on phone carrier and region but still you'd think something as common as "youtube" would get roughly the same results regardless of configuration.

might going to m.google.com and clicking youtube help? Just thinking off the top of my head.

Search by Publisher perhaps?

Look for the official one, should be 4th

That's strange - I get it as the 4th result when I search. I'm on T-Mobile in the US -- same as you?

[Q] Android Apps Questions

I am new to the Android Market. I just got the Transformer but I have had an IPhone for years so maybe that is why I am confused.
Lets says if I do a Search for Facebook apps...tons of apps that don't even have facebook in the name or description come up. Is that normal or am I doing something wrong?
Another question, then when I do one of the side options how come it only lets me see a few? I am sure there is way more then what it is showing me.
Thanks in advance.

No, you aren't doing it wrong. Dev's can "tag" their apps with search keywords. So, anything that interfaces with Facebook in some manner could have a facebook keyword - it would be up to the user to determine if the app fits the need. An app could be one like "Flow" which a user could interface directly with facebook with - or, it could be a plugin for another app/widget that allows the user to view posts or pictures from facebook.

Not sure what you mean by "side options" - which screen? the general screen, a particular application's preview/order screen?

Oh thanks makes sense now. I meant like if you click app store Entertainment you cant seem to browse all of them. Also is there a way to get rid of the scrolling apps on top?

[Q] Petty Google Search Annoyance

When I search from either the Google search widget or the HTC browser, instead of returning the results on the standard Google homepage, the results get returned as per the attachment.
Any ideas on how I can fix it? I know it is a trivial issue, but it is really annoying.
Thanks.

Never seen that before. Mine goes to the Google page search results.
Have you tried updating the Google Search app? It's in the Market.

Yep, I tried that with no joy.
I assume it's some kind of Vodafone addition in order to try to gather metrics on usage.
It's just really annoying and I'd very much like to go back to the proper results page...

I'm not sure I get what the problem is... The screenshot looks like the search results on my phone and pc browser.

Here is an example of the searches side by side.
As I say, it's a petty problem but very annoying.

re:Browser settings
Just open the browser, menu>more>settings> tick mobile view

Unfortunately that setting was already ticked.
I think that someone has created a custom search (Using this: http://www.google.com/cse/) and incorporated that instead. I assume it must be Vodafone.
