Did you try turning up the media volume?
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
Yep it might be just the volume..
Try this if it helps you:
Settings - Language & input - Text-to-speech output
And then under General tap on Listen to an example.
You might need to tap on it once or twice and then put the volume up.
You should hear the female voice.

On my N1, I used vrecorder and when I had the phone call on speaker phone it recorded fine. The widget worked well. Vrecorder does not show up in the market for me with the NS. Anyone know a good app to use? Everything I tried does not work.
Anyone?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
vrecorder must be a protected app. It should show once Google fixes the Market to recognize our phones.
Meanwhile, if you're rooted, there are ways to change the build.prop file to make them show for you. I'll leave that for other threads, where it's well explained and easily found with the search.
I don't have a specific app recommendation for you, though.
Vrecorder shows up in the market now. It doesn't record calls good though. I think the Nexus One recorder calls better while on speaker phone because there was a second Michael near the speaker. While on speaker phone with the Nexus S and recording, you can't hear the other end when you play the recording.

Google Voice... Press 4 During a Call to Start / End =)
Then you can find them in recordings online or via the app.
Enjoy!

One-way recording
Before, when I was using Galaxy S, it was possible to record during a call.
But it was only possible one-way recording, that means, only my voice.
Now, with my Nexus S, it is not possible to record at all during a call.
There is no sound.
Anyone know my?

Funny... I updated the out of the box voice-search with what was available on the Android market from Google. It seems to work fine for me.
I hold down the Search key until it pops up, speak, receive bacon.
It seems to usually work fine with "Navigate To..." commands and "Send Text to ..." commands. Also, just speaking stuff to search seems to work. I have never gotten the "Play..." or some of the other commands to work properly.

It doesn't support your language...I had mine set to UK English, when I changed it to Irish English, it used Generic English for it and all the commands work well now!

^This...
Yeah, for some reason, a lot of the commands are not enabled for "alternate" languages. Set to US English or General/Generic English in the system language settings, and then it should hopefully work. If you don't want to do it for the System language, then you can also do the following:
Main Screen (Home)->Menu button->"Settings"->"Voice Input & Output"->"Voice Recognizer Settings"->"Language"->set it to "English (US)".
This should make the accuracy a tiny bit less due to non-American accent (particularly if you have a heavy accent comparatively), but it enables a lot more of the command usages.

If your contacts are synced with google just press and hold the search key and use voice search. If your contacts are synced with anything else go get the voice dialer apk from the themes and apps forum
sent from HTC Sensation
Cool, will that work with a bt hands free kit as well?
maybe? there was a thread going around about that in the General forum & IIRC the someone found a work around.
Use vlingo
Never a straight answer
This man asked a question if his new highly expensive, state of the art, phone would do voice dialing.
If you intend to do voice dialing with bluetoth, it will not work. The only thing that may help is a blue ant Q2, which stores your contacts in the earpiece. You also need to have phone commands built into the phone software which I believe comes with gigerbread 2.3
I have asked direct questions in these forums and am amazed at the indirect answers that are given. always a work around. Why not just say this expensive toy will not hands free voice dial.
Sorry for the rant but some people dont even know what an apk is.
Look into the blueant Q2 jawbone also make the Era but in my opinion not as good
Thanks.
it does seem odd that new tech doent have something that was included in phones many years ago. Exp with more and more places requiring hands free driving now.

Yes it does. As others todl you first you have to install "voice dialer" and then 3rd party "voice speed dial" program. My favorite one is "cyberon voice speed dialer" with that program i can assign voice tags to my contacts and all i have to do after pressing the BT button is call that name example "john" and it will dial the number i assigned for that name.
good luck
The sensation has voice dialer by default just launch the phone app and you will see a mic icon on the left

I tried a Samsung hm 3700. It was absolutely flawless on my g2x. Recognition and commands went smoothly. It just didn't have a2dp function though you can listen to music. Just no control.
vlingo for sensation?
whoever the moron is that keeps telling people to use vlingo for the voice dialing on the htc sensation is definetely an idiot as this app is not offered for the sensation and if you try to install the apk it will brick your device. i recomend you not listen to that idiot.

you must never have tried to use it or you would not have just showed your lack of intelligent thought. the sensation does not have voice dialing and if you try to use that mic to voice search in the phone app it will only search for the contact. it is quicker to do it manually. so before you post,please make sure you know wtf you are talking about

Yea there is. It's a setting called Hotword Detection. You should be able to find it by opening Google Now>Menu>Settings>Voice but it's no longer in my settings and apparently a few people have lost the setting as well after flashing. :'(

I opened this thread because I did not find any relevant information about google now in the other threads.
I realized that Google Now in Nexus S does not have the same answers with cards, as in the Galaxy Nexus.
Do you know why? have you noticed other differences?
Make sure you have "Search on Google.com" enabled in Google now ->Settings -> Privacy and Accounts, since the Knowledge graph which powers it is more or less limited to Google.com at the moment.
My problem with Google Now is limited to voice search. Besides the ocassional slow start up, it seems the graphics/UI/animation have trouble keeping up with the audio (chime, audio input, audio output), which hurts when it activates a voice action but you can't see the card to check if it's right or not. Does everybody else get this?
I already have google.com enable but I was never able to get any card.
I tried several examples that work with GNexus
Did you get a card using voice search?
In my Nexus S I also noticed the slow start up.
Does anyone know if it's possible to make a home screen shortcut to google now? I use ADW EX for a launcher and it doesn't have the option yet in the Swipe Up setting to launch google now, but if there's a way to make a shortcut, you can set swipe up to launch an app or shortcut.
Also, I can't seem to setup the sports cards. I follow Formula 1 in the summer, but also NBA summer leagues, but I can't setup the sports cards to give me any information at all on these things.

No need, in Jelly Bean the Search button is permanently mapped to Google now system wide (you can't use it for app specific search anymore). If you still want a shortcut, just make a shortcut to the Google app. Google app = Google now.
So...egg on my face. Hit the "search" capacitive button and it went straight to google now. Embarrassed.
Now, about those sports teams....I read an article that teams you search for in Google are enabled in the "edit teams" option, which is currently greyed out for me. Anybody get this option enabled? I've tried many things and it's not working for me.

Enables you to use the search button and make a typing search instead of voice search, but the best part is the microphone in the widget still works if you want.
So click the search button brings typing even if voice is activated. 2 in 1

And there was another guy that said that his "edit teams" in the sports card section is grayed out, this is true with me also. Won't even let me click anything in any sport; anyone know how to fix that?
