For some reason my voice commands are crap since I rooted. I've done everything I can think of to make it better. But no success.
Any ideas? I stock with CWM

Most likely not related to simply being rooted... could have been something you did with your root privileges maybe...
I rarely use Voice Commands as it is, but it could be a number of things... try a different voice app, a different ROM, or flash the FXZ and start over.
Define "crap". Is it not recognizing your words? I'm trying the Vlingo app now. Seems a little better than stock. The voice command app has never been very good at recognition for me. Voice search on the other hand is pretty good.
The End.
Voice commands has always worked fine for me :\

Hi all,
New to the Android scene. I have an iPhone3gs and am leaning towards the Inspire over the Atrix. Quick noob question. Can Swype be installed on this device?
Yes but
Unless you are rooted (which at least for now looks semi-difficult), you need to sideload it. I haven't had enough posts yet to post an outside link, but you can Google "install swype inspire" and the first hit should get you started.

easiest guide you'll find. Literally took me 5 minutes, and I've never run commands on a computer. Hardest thing was to find a torrent for WinZip lol
@antioch216: Thanks. That was the link I wanted to post!
It's very easy. Didn't take me all that long either. I used the Mac/Linux method and it was easy breezy.
Thanks for the link. One other question. What are your thoughts on Swype vs the stock keyboard? I've never actually used it myself but have heard lots of hype surrounding it.
Thanks!
Swype is really awesome I think. It's really easy to get used to. In my experience you only have to use one finger and it's pretty forgiving in terms of the letters you hit.

Swype is much faster for me once I got used to it.... except when it's messing up. Sometimes the autocorrect is just so bad that it would be faster to send the message in morse code, but that doesn't happen often.
i'm a big fan of swype.
Go here and you can download the beta version of swype to your phone http://www.swypeinc.com/

In that case go to your swype settings, and adjust your speed vs. accuracy and see what works best for you.

not rooted yet and I have the installer already for beta use but it won't let me install and I don't have the unknown sources under application settings either...is this guide a workaround or only for rooted phones?
Would def like to try out swype if I could

nope, no root required. I haven't rooted and I just followed the guide and now I've got Swype!
AT&T blocks the ability to download from other sources (sideloading) and so this program is essentially a work around, but doesn't disturb any original settings. So if anything happened to your phone, AT&T wouldn't know unless the employee knew about this stuff.
Just follow the guide, and you'll have Swype, it's pretty easy
cool beans ...tried it out and works real smooth....thnx

My main problem comes from the built-in dictionary, not it's prediction. Why the hell would I use "beefier" when I'm trying to type "before"?

I believe every time you reset, you just have to change the input mode. It's just a default setting that isn't changeable to my knowledge. It happens to everyone
On my captivate, using Swype, when I pressed in the text area, I got a little button to move the cursor around. I get the same type little button with the default keyboard on my Inspire. With Swype, though, I get just a cursor, and I have to press and hold to magnify, more like an iphone. Is there any way to change that?

yeah but are you getting voicemails? care to share your apk at all?
Here's the apk I used. You also need your data from a working vvm backup.
EDIT: Yes I am getting voicemails.
Have you had any luck with it?

I have the Nexus S 4g. Since vvm is not installed, I had Google Voice take over my voicemail. Now, when I install this apk, it won't provision. Not surprising I guess since Sprint now thinks that Google has my number. How do I reverse this? I don't see any way in GV to undo my number from it.

There is no way to do it from the app, go to google.com/voice log in and you can disable there. I did not like Google voice prefer sprint but can't get it to work. From what I have seen only way to get sprint vvm to work on this phone is if u previously had a titanium backup from another phone like someone above mentioned.

You know what I did, I used unyaffs to get into a clockwork recovery backup made on my previous phone(an epic) and did some digging. The fie you will need is in data/data called 'com.coremobility.app.vnotes'. I deleted the one that installing the app created and put in the one I dug out of my backup and it seems to be working fine. I have received two voicemails with it. Hope this is helpful
Edit: ignore the above, there is more to it apparently...not working as it should
Dam that sounded so promising bro,i wish we could fig this out I will dog into my back ups from my epic also

Major bummer. I am just about ready to turn this phone in because of this VM issue. Tried GV as my primary but it drove me crazy, especially since it took over sms as well.
I may have a titanium back up on my old Evo SD card. Where does one find the data file?
yeah, that doesnt seem to work, i pulled old data files and added to new vm apk but it actually sends voicemail alert to old phone, so there has to an esn # included somewhere that i cant find....
but yeah the app is there just not functioning
Why the hell wasn't there visual voicemail in the first place?!?!?!

Im running youmail and its real close to original VVM from sprint it just has to send you a txt to notify you of a new voicemail or you can config to check for new mails at intervals
As above, my Galaxy S2 on 3 is always thinking I'm trying to tether it, and I'm not!.
Every time I try to connect to the Internet it gives me the message 'your plan does not include tethering, contact us to upgrade you sevice' etc etc, but I'm not tethering it nor am I trying to ,
Can anybody help me out because it's driving us nuts now

It worked once after that, it went to the Google home screen but when I typed in a search it came back with the tethering message

I'd call back.
Maybe it's possible your mobile browser is sending the incorrect User Agent (I don't even know how) - does this happen no matter which browser you use ? What if you uninstall and re-install the browser ?
If that doesn't work, I think it's their problem that they need to fix.

Can I just say that I love a couple of the Samsung Apps? Sure S Finder is pointless (to me) and S Voice needs to get WAY better for me to use it, the voice is far too robotic (unless people know something I'm doing wrong? High quality voices?) and it lacks some grammar understanding. But S Health, S Note and a couple others are actually damn good. To date I haven't found an app that is as accurate as S Health is for mo I to ring my activity. It does struggle when GPS is weak to maintain an accurate speed (I walk faster than 2 S Health, we both know this, haha), but my word is it good..just could it stop using the really awful robotic Samsung voice? S Note is another good one, it does things incredibly well, scrapbook isn't bad, I use it from time to time, and the camera app is closing in on the LG idea. Though LG still has far better manual control, and it STAYS IN MANUAL MODE IF YOU PUT IT THERE...SAMSUNG..I WANT RAW, NOT JPG. I digress, I still love some of their apps. They really have come a long way!
There are higher quality voices, but I still prefer to use Google Now, but definitely agree with S Health and S Note. Can't find anything like em on the store

I've migrated to S Voice because Google Now is no longer working correctly for me. Anytime I tell it to call or text someone, it pulls up a freaking search page.

Yeah..I'm going to give S-Voice a try, Google Now has decided it wants to never let me use "ok google". I can set it up a million times and it just never works. Sad, I'll miss that. It was working two days ago too, it's confusing. Also! So Voice can READ MY MESSAGES TO ME, haha.
So, when I say ok google, I get the prompt with "How can I help" but I coulda swore she used to actually say it. Does anyone elses actually talk and ask "how can I help" rather than just the text showing up?
IF so, trying to figure out whats wrong here...
An update removed it. This way it is now is majorly streamlined compared to the 7.1 Assistant in October when I got the phone. It worked yah, but this is smooth now.
It doesn't cut me off mid sentence nearly as much.
I am pretty sure yours is working fine if it gives audio feedback with some answers. Just a beep to start seems normal for me currently.
