Voice Commands on the Vibrant - Vibrant General

My buddy has a Droid X that has 2.1 update 1 and he has voice actions/commands on his phone... so it definitelyisnt 2.2 only... anyone know how hard that would be to get on to our phones? I havent even been able to find the apk or any info about it...

Download Vlingo from the market. It is now a free app and should get the job done.

I appreciate the suggestion.. I have played with vlingo a little... I just like the google one a little better... it incorporates itself a little better IMO..
I checked the Epic 4G dump.. just to see if it was in there maybe... and no go... downloading the droid x dump... lets see what I find...
Update: Installed the Voice Commands APK with no problem... but does nothing... so... renamed the vibrant search with keyboard and moved it to sdcard... rebooting now.. going to try and uninstall the vibrant voice search next... then going to try and install the droid x voice search
So far no go... the voice commands appears in the menu... but it does nothing... apparently its dependent on another file... or maybe something in the framework that isnt included with the vibrant... anyone able to help?

Try Edwin it has a different functionalty to vlingo. I uae it for spelling and conversions.

where do you get google voice search? I've looked for it in the market and can't find it. Is voice recognition a feature only available in later versions of android?
It is a feature available for 1.6. SE decided not to add it to the OS.
Most rooted Android 1.6 Roms have that. It was quite useful when I had my rooted HTC Magic. Just press the voice icon at the search widget and you could do a Google search without using the keyboard. Too bad SE decided not to carry that on the X10.

bummer. I knew what I was getting into and I still love the X10, but I'm definitely looking forward to a root. hopefully someone can pull it off, and soon
I have the voice search app on my x10....and i can also use the speech to text mic button on the htc keyboard.
Might depend on where you got the phone. Had 2 x10i only the first one had voice recognition. I'm using a x10a now with no voice.

Voice dial anyone?

Tried to search this.. anyone knows if I can voice dial with Desire? I need it when dial someone while driving through bluetooth. Thanks
I too would love an answer to this if anyone has one. Would be nice if the button on bluetooth handsfree kits started voice dialing as with my TouchHD, but just voice dialing would be a start. I am guessing that the only option would be using the voice search but I tried that and it just looked up whatever name I searched on google
Download and install the car dock (see here).
Amongst other things, it allows you to voice dial.
Regards,
Dave
You don't need the car dock app, if you have voice search installed, just long press the search button and say "call whoever".
Si
is there any non internet dependent voice dialer available
Am I missing something? Long press on search key does not bring up any voice search on my Desire... do I need to install any app?
mine puts call whoever into a Google search???

I havnt gotten my Desire yet, but is it really that easy? Just install that app?
Has someone actually made this work? All my searches go to google. Carl/Kal whatever...
Yep, works fine. DL'd to my PC, onto the card and bingo. Works perfectly.
Keeps saying download unsuccessful on my browser

Doesn't work on my handset it always performs a Google search. I've even tried unticking the Internet option in the Searchable Items list and it still searches Google. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling too.
Me too I think this might be a new version though but it wont download lol
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
It is a newer version than the one I originally had installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled this one.
Download to your PC, then move to the SD Card and install (just open with Astro.) It really works very well
Yes this works better now, only thing is when i say call mom etc
i get a list.. call mom, call mom mobile, call mom google search etc.. why dont it just do it lol

Droid X keyboard on Fascinate? Anyone done it yet?

I am sorry if this has been posted and answered already. I am trying to get the Droid X keyboard on my Fascinate. I have put the apk file on my SD card. I plug my Fascinate from my Macbook Pro, and go into Astro File Manager. I click on the apk file, open it, and it says "Uninstall" and "Launch". When I click uninstall, it begins to do so then it says "Uninstall was not successful." When I click launch, it says "Activity was not found." It doesn't give me a choice to install the apk file. Then I try with Apps Installer, when I click it it says "Application Not Installed."
So basically I can install apk files on my Samsung Fascinate. I have also made sure to download the apk file that is for Android phones running 2.1 Eclair. I also tried this with the Samsung Keypad that is the standard keypad that is on all the Galaxy S phones (go to Youtube and search "Samsung Captivate keyboard options"...it is the keyboard shown 0:20 to 0:53) but for some reason it isn't on the Fascinate. I love that keyboard so I am trying to get it on the Fascinate but that is also not working.
Can someone help please?
Basically same results here I'm getting:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_ALREADY_EXISTS]
when trying to install using adb. I'm assuming the current keyboard on the phone is using the same name as the DroidX one wants to use..
Being a recent Better Keyboard convert, I would recommend installing that. It appears to be well worth the $2.99, when compared to the stock Fascinate keyboard (blech).

I'm starting to like Swype quite a lot, but it does take a bit getting used to.
Has anyoen figured this out?
Not sure if it's possible. Mainly because they are different resolutions. The D2 and DX are 854x480, while the Fascinate is 800x480. Plus, it sounds like they are the same name, and I have no idea how or what you would need to re-name.
I have it installed and am using it right now, you need to use root explorer and put it in system/apps, click it and install.
I'm liking the HTC IME keyboard on my fascinate. The hi res version works really well.

Ditto. I've been using Swype, Better Keyboard, Swiftkey, And Ultra KB. HTC is free and customizable as it gets.

Anyone else getting force closes? I installed properly, but once you reboot and if your using the DX keyboard you will get force closes, any known fixes?

I have the same issue
I have this issue as well. What I did to stop that is really a temp fix. Just change the input method to another keyboard before you reboot it. When it boots back into the OS and you have that keyboard active the processes call for things that are specific to the Droid X that the Fascinate doesnt have. Until someone codes it correctly for the Fascinate you will get those force closes.
Actually, nobody is installing the DX keyboard properly.

Try that. Installs via clockwork.

I want Google VOICE ACTIONS on 2.1

I know voice actions is only available on android 2.2, is there anyway we can get the .Apk file for our 2.1
I want Voice Actions too. I've been pretty happy with Vlingo as a substitute though.

Google is yur friend, but here. Youll prob have to download an app installer from the market and also make sure you have have checked the phone to allow installation of 3rd party apps.

I already have voice search which is great. But I want voice actions, which is only available on 2.2
vlingo is good, but I'd rather use Google's stuff. Stupid X10 not upgrading to 2.2
And I did do a google search first and couldn't find an .apk for voice actions.
Anybody?!!!
I was going to use Vlingo but it only supports spanish on blackberrys.

Voice Actions from Pannous. Works well on 2.1, but I still looking for google Voice Actions. Give it a try.

What I do like about this one, is it follows through and does the action without having to click anything. Example... text, Heather, "Please call me". It actually sends the text message without opening messaging.

"hey google" not showing up...

So. I loaded up the Nexsys 5, Google home, PrebuiltGmsCore and Velvet apks on the Hyper 1.1 Rom. All works fine, except, I don't get the "say Google" on the google search bar.
I tried the moving off English US to UK and back.. but that didn't help.
Also, one iteration of me playing around, it was there for a brief time and then gone when I reloaded... so I know its possible, just don't know enough about the way its setup to know what to look for.
Any help would be great!

OK FIXED!!!!!!!!!
This is what I did...
Under Language and Input, > Google voice typing, >settings >Offline speech recognition.
Go to the all tab and make sure English (US) is the only option and re-download it.
Thanks for all the suggestions...

I did that and my phone would not go into deep sleep. Checked my wake locks and Google search was keeping the phone up. Un installed the language pack update and my phone is deep sleeping again. Might just be me, but you might Check. It was killing my battery.
