Voice Dialer

Am I missing something or does the phone really not have "Voice Dialer" on it? That seems kindof nuts?

Not nuts - more Tmo/HTC weirdness

***edit 6-23-11
There are mixed reports of Voice Dialer fc'ing when trying to call. The current Voice Search will actually directly dial for me now so I'd go with that or Vlingo seems to be popular if VDialer isn't working.

Excellent, thanks. I copied the one from my Vibrant and it would not install. I thought maybe it was not compatible. Yours is, thanks again.

Thanks Gorilla, this worked for my car home
Edit: follow up, seems to force-close when actually trying to dial?

See Voice Dialer works for me but I can't get the Voice search to actually call any of my contacts, it just searches for numbers on google

I have an app called vlingo that has voice controlled everything. Don't remember if it's t-mobile specific though

I'm getting the same FC on the Voice Dialer app. Vlingo actually seems to work very well. What will change when we're rooted, what will make it work then, why does it not, now?

There was an update to Voice Search a day ago maybe that changed something because Dialer was working for me. The first time I used Voice Search it tried to search google but after making sure my pronunciations were better it worked the same as Voice Dialer was - note that the way Voice Dialer was working was not the same as on my N1 - no calls are getting initiated. Every time it prompts me to do what it thinks I said. I'm not sure if that's cuz it's broken or because it has learned what to expect yet.
Weirdness - just tried VSearch and it direct dials and everything - no need for voice dialer.

When we're rooted (bootloader unlocked) there is a chance that whatever dependency failure is occurring can be resolved in a modded htc s4g stock rom or we can just load up cm7 or hopefully a stock release (my preference).

New question the about Voice Search. Will it look up phone contacts? I don't save my contacts to Google, just sync with Outlook on my phone.

is there a app that I can use to make the phone hear commands through my Jawbone headset?
I just want to be able to call someone while driving by pressing the voice command button on my headset...
everything else works but the voice command... I can redial with a couple button presses of the headset, answer and hangup calls, ect.
the apk posted works but not through the headset. it hears you from the phone's microphone... not very functional when driving.
plus Google's version that's included in the phone has better speech recognition.
why didn't HTC include this function?

It isn't working as well as I thought it would. After I speak, it pops up a menu and asks me who I want to call. Isn't the idea not to use the phone while driving? No idea why it is not recognizing the speech.

Google music reboots phone

It happens fairly often, any ideas?
DX 2.3.3

In retrospect it may have been equalizer app from market. Currently running cm7 with dsp manager, no reboot issues.

Mine doesn't reboot, but Music crashes every time I try to stream over 3g. Works great on wifi. Hope they get the bugs out, because I like the program.

I was having some issues at first. It was either gingerbread or equalizer. Works fine now with cyanogenmod.
DX+CM7

I used to have that issue, but it disappeared after a few factory resets (not because of google music, other reasons). It happened only when I started playing music then locked the device, but not every time it rebooted. I did have that music Fx equalizer however.
Because one signature isn't enough.

I hate doing resets, although I'm using Titanium now, so it should be an easy restore. Maybe I'll try that this weekend. Was kind of hoping for a app update that would fix it.

I don't think a factory reset if necessary, just remove the equalizer app if you have it, but if it's not the problem try everything before factory reset even if you have titanium, a single app isn't worth it because if you just restore everything back it's likely the problem will still be there.
Because one signature isn't enough.

Factory resets didn't fix my issue, even tried only downloading that app to make sure it wasn't interference from another one. But somehow I managed to get it to work when I unchecked cache music and wifi only from on to off and vice versa. Now it streams on both wifi and 3g like it's suppose to. Must have been a glitch in there.

G music is a data hog. I'm twenty days into my billing cycle and I've used over seven gigs of data on 3g. That's the only thing I've used differently. Luckily I have unlimited data, truly unlimited according to a Verizon Rep.

[Solved] Market not connecting properly

I am getting this issue since morning. Market loads up with base screen, and then from there on messes up by saying "Error retrieving information from the server. [DF-PFA-02]" or something like that. Most common error is "Connection timed out." and shows a Retry button.
Its happening on WiFi too, not just data. I have full signal where I am!!!
Is this happening to anyone else too? Looks like some issue in market app servers.
Things I tried:
1. Clearing market cache
2. Uninstalling updates
3. Rebooting

Neg...just dl from GP and ran an update on a couple of apps both data & me WIFI....no issues sir.

It is updating/installing apps. That's no issue. But I am getting these connectivity issues like about 50% of the times.

Well.. That's what happens on betas... They aren't perfect.
Maybe try reflashing it..

Oh no! I flashed the Zeus Beta only today morning (I've been on Beta since its release and never once had any issue with market).

same problem
hi im having the same problem on sgs2 i9100.. stock rom/firmware, I think it's a market issue, not to do with your custom rom.
for those who don't get an error, try to install "slash'em"

Right. Looks like this issue got resolved.

Yup, seems to have resolved itself.

A quick resolution.
I have found a solution to this issue for GSM phones. The only reason I am posting on a year old thread is this is the first search result for this issue on Google. If this issue does not resolve itself as it did for these guys, do the following:
1. Power Down the phone.
2. Remove the SIM.
3. Power the phone back On.
4. Go to the App or Applications menu and select the All tab to view all installed applications.
5. Find the Google Play services and Google Play Store, clear all data for both of these applications.
6. Start the Play Store and log-in.
7. Power Down the phone and replace the SIM card.
Upon restarting the phone, the Play Store should now work without issue.

How do you log in to the playstore without your sim? Did you connect to wifi?

S Voice APK

The S Voice APK was leaked so I decided to download it and try it. There are some downloads that aren't working as they keep giving parse errors so I found one that does work. Some things work and some things don't. I am trying to set up a custom wake up command but I'm guessing either due to some proprietary technology limited to Samsung or just because the APK wasn't meant for our phone, it is giving me a "Unfortunately, S Voice has stopped." error.
Hopefully this can be changed to work with our HOXs better. It does seem to be able to answer my questions so I'm guessing it is able to connect to Samsung's servers. Asked where I was currently located and it brought up a map and I asked about the weather and it brought up a weather forcast even though I uninstalled HTC's weather apps. So there's hope I guess.

As always, install at your own risk.

Seems to have issues with wifi. If I have it turned on and go into the app, it only lets me do one command. Then I can press on the button but nothing happens. When I have wifi off, it works basically fine; albeit the voice is a little slow. Interestingly, I can turn it off before going in then have S Voice activate my wifi and as long as I don't leave the app, it works fine. As soon as I get out and go back in it stops working properly.

Eh not the greatest but better than what the hox has.

Completely useless.
In order to use it you have to click on the icon.
The whole point for something like this and siri to work is
no interaction with the touch screen.
Siri- raise to speak
S-Voice " Hi galaxy"

you can set it up to listen for the "hi galaxy" command, or another command of your choosing, it will use more battery, so it's not on by default.
for me though, it crashes every time it tries to complete my query.

Couldn'tget it to work either... Was hoping to try it out.

Try turning off the wifi and see if it still does it.

Does it connect for anyone. I just get network error

Wont work on my phone. I am using the clean rom. When i try to talk it says network issue, then when i try to change the voice prompt from hi galaxy, it force closes.

Was excited by the possiblities...as an iPhone 4s convert...but get nothing but network errors. Guessing that Sammy turned this off.

Yup. Ditto. I don't get anything but network errors or "I don't understand your request" if I push the mic button to talk and not say anything.

It works off and on. I had times it worked well with little lag, but also had periods where it would just kick off a network error or would FC. After clearing cache and waiting it would randomly start working again. It really isn't anything special though. It seems like it is just a skinned version of Vlingo. It also looks like it works alot kinda like Siri by using Wolfram Alpha.
Vlingo looks like they are beta testing a newer version of Vlingo assistant that has a wake up command option like S Voice. It only has a few options currently though

Try turning off wifi, going into apps and clearing out the data for S Voice. Then go into the program and set it up again.

i'll try that.
pretty sure the network errors (not force closes) are due to samsung not having the servers ready for public use, and as such are turning them on and off on their end.
on a slightly related topic, samsung really phoned it in on the UI for this app, they basically ripped off apple's setup, if they were having issues with apple legally before, this app and design is not going to help.
i wish samsung would hire some competent and creative developers for their products.

Works fine for me once I uninstalled the stock voice app.

This is the voice to go app for the galaxy note. It works awesome on my phone. It will text, nav, call, open apps, create and edit calendar events, and more. The only bug I get is when I hang up a phone call that was initiated using voice to go it will pop up a window saying that the app quot working.
It doesn't have every feature but it has a bunch and they work pretty reliably.

OK Google on any screen strangely appears and disappears

I was very keen to try this feature, so I updated the Google Search app to the latest one (3.5.14). Sadly, the feature has not yet provided to my google account, and so I wait.
But funny things happened this morning after I flash the developer version of Android L to my Nexus 5. There was an screen prompting me to say "OK Google" 3 times to activate Google Now on any screen. There were 3 options in my Google Now Voice settings: enable it from home screen, any screen, and lock screen.
I was indeed very surprised and delightful, however such a thing only last 3 minutes. It suddenly stopped. As for now I speak, 2 of those 3 options in voice settings are gone. However there is still an option to enable Audio History (image attached).
I'm guessing this is because the OK Google on any screen is location based and currently only works on several countries picked by Google itself. If that's the case I'm very certain the Americans will be the first. Can someone clarify?

It isn't regional. Its random Google Accounts.

I'm not sure, I'm in America and I had it working before and now it's not. Weird. I just tried again and I can't get it working. Maybe something on Google's end? I'm lost, too.

Well it's good to know it's not merely my fault. At first I began to think my voice is not qualified for activating Google Now lol.
It seems that currently we can only wait, let me know if yours works again
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

I had the same issue. I was on Android L and after about a day of using it, the options appeared. The text said "when screen is on OR charging" so I was curious to see if we could get always listening while charging. I put it on the charger and the options disappeared and never came back. I'm back on 4.4.4 and I still don't see it.

It's definitely server sider on Google's end. I too had it for a little bit, but it is now gone as well. Google is deploying it per account like they do with anything so it's not fully available yet and ready for use. Expect to see it enabled over the next few weeks.

There's already a fix! http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/29qya0/if_you_do_not_have_ok_google_everywhere_on_your/
Try it on, I got it working (for now, at least)
