Google Voice

While everyone's stated that Google Voice for Honeycomb is in the works, I thought I'd try the *.apk hacked together here and it actually worked fine on the TF as well.
On a side note, obviously that'll only work for text messages as calls can't be made or received over data with Google Voice. Anybody ever use GrooVe IP? I'm curious if anybody has used it to do Google Voice over data (on their tablet or even on a phone, just curious how well it works / how the experience is). It sounds very interesting. The tablet could almost be used as a house/speaker phone, over our Google Voice line.

I did a test call to myself from my TF with just Groove IP and it made the call. Couldn't test the quality because it was just me.
I also tested this on my wifi Galaxy Tab and it worked.
Edit: tried a real call on Galaxy tab w a BT headset and it didn't pick up the voice. It looks like others are having luck with it on the TF which is great.

I am going to try this on my Transformer.
Quick Question:
I am going to the Bahamas next week and am taking my Transformer. If I get this to work and have a Wifi connection down there, do you think I will be able to make calls with my GV or would I be charged a roaming fee?

This is awesome. I can send text messages from my TF now.

This should work fine, as the developer himself stated in a thread I was reading about it. I'll try and get a link. As long as you have internet, and a Google Voice account, GrooVe IP should work. Granted, I still haven't bought it, but I'm thinking about it.
Question: If you purchase an app and have two Android devices, it should work for both for the price of one right?

GrooveIP works fine on the Transformer. I just made a couple of calls over my Google Voice using it on the TF.
The only issue I've had with it is that the dialing screen is orientation locked to portrait which makes it look ridiculous (and makes it a bit hard to interact with) when you're in docked mode or otherwise using landscape orientation.

For texting on google voice, is there anyway for the texts to appear as they come in?
The only settings I can find, is for the application to refresh every XX minutes.

No you don't have to have voice installed. I had a hard time setting up my GrooVe IP and found that you must completely exit from the app and restart for the settings to take effect. My voice username is my email address and when typing it in for some reason the keyboard kept wanting to put an extra space in the address. After I corrected that and exited out I was fine.

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
Here you go
***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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

The whole point for something like this and siri to work is
no interaction with the touch screen.

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.

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.

Do you happen to be using two factor account authentication?

Tried clearing the app, reloading it, deactivating and re activating the phone\account via google voices web settings.
I am using two factor authentication as per a month ago. but if i recall correctly my google voice was still working with that enabled on my moto x before i got the nexus 5. I could be mistaken though. Anyone?

Mine originally was acting kind of funny upon first install - I uninstalled and re-installed it was fine.

If you're using a prepaid plan, I wonder if this is what you're running into:
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/voice/bPJ0u3fJiFo
Look about half-way down the page, it seems that some have needed to have T-Mobile disable their own voicemail in order to get GVoice to work. Maybe this is the answer, maybe not, but I saw it and thought it might help. If you got your Nexus through T-Mobile/postpaid, may not be the answer.

I seem to of found the problem. I was testing calls from my work phone, and they were all getting directed into the Spam folder. You cannot view the spam folder on the android app, however once i moved the calls\voicemails from the spam folder via the web interface, they all came flooding into my phone.

I was noticed odd issues with Google Voice also. When I make a test call to my phone from my wife's phone and it actually calls me twice. Maybe someone else can help me confirm.. Call your phone from another phone and just let it keep ringing. See if it calls twice. Almost seems like its calling both primary and Google Voice #'s
