The stock voice dialer is useless. Is there one that works pretty well?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
What is wrong with the stock one? It seems to do everything I need it to do. It would be easier to make a suggestion if we know what you are looking for.
I think it works great.
hmm well if it was running all the time maybe, but having to click it each time, say what you want, then press it when it pops up is a bit dumb, is there a way for it to activate automatically after you say open a program, instead of just bringing a menu up on the screen for you to actually press ?

I haven't seen it...but maybe try to sign out and back into your google account? Seems like it's some sort of verification step for your account? I'm just drawing at straws though...
Ive tried that. Even tried a doing a factory reset and it doesnt happen as much anymore, but still does once or twice a day
Am I the only one with this issue ? After I press the genius button the app pops up but it takes a while until it starts listening...and with this phone I expect little to no lagg...

I have the same problem.
Mine became much quicker when I deleted its app data. However lag crept back in.
Sent from my HTC Glacier
mine seems to lag, with a message says loading contacts. I feel that should be a background load instead of stopping the app temporarily
I would think it would only load contacts once..but. mine did it a few times in a row and sometimes not at all......
So I wonder what's up with the genius button ?
Why does it lag on such great hArdware ?

I have the same issue. Takes about 15 seconds on mine ven overclocked to 1.3mhz
Turn load contacts to manual just remember to update when you add new contacts

Fine. But the lag is present even before the contact database update begins.
After hitting the genius button I have about a one second delay before it says listening. Which is not really a big deal

Yeah, it happens to all of us. It's annoying, too, because the Genius Button is almost always wrong in understanding voice commands. When using the stock Google Voice Actions, I have a margin of error of like 10%. Using Dragon's engine, I'm accidentally calling phones 75% of the time. :/
I wish they'd just give us the option to toggle between Genius / normal Search.

If you do the Re-Map genius button mod you can.
Just LONG PRESS to use normal voice search.

would it still have lagg, say if I remap it to something like Google Voice Search ?....
Not sure if this changes in 2.2, but the stock dialer is horrid compared to HTC, it isn't the worst thing in the world, but I am surprised there aren't more dialers available. I was wondering what people use for a dialer, do you usually download a 3rd party app? Use a dev-made dialer?
Just have not had this so long, I would love to just hear the responses.
Thanks so much in advance (and can we stick this to 2.1? The dialer may change in 2.2 but I have stuck with 2.1)
Dialer in 2.2 is not any better. In fact it logs your sms as call logs so for somone like me who goes through 6000 ( literary) texts a month it becomes annoying. I'm using "diar one". Its fast and has a lot more cutomization options. Give it a shot. It's free on the market.

My rom disables this. Can I ask? What don't you guys like about it?
cd's or tapes?
Hi. What rom r u running? I'm on dk28 and my text logs show up in my call logs. I can switch to missed or dialed calls through the setting but that is not the friendliest way. I liked the stock one but since I went to 2.2 the daler anoyed me a bit.

I am on 2.1 on the Quantum ROM but I am 99% sure it is the stock dialer, maybe colored differently.
What I don't like about it is that when you start typing someone's name in the htc dialer, i.e. you start typing "aro" it will pull up "aron" and other names with "aro" in it or the numbers in it, and you can scroll down through the names.
With this dialer, if you are trying to say call David, you may need to type "DAVID" before it actually shows up because when you hit "D,A,V" you can't scroll through them all, it gives you ONE suggestion.
Maybe it's just personal preference, I just wish I knew how to update the .apk better, a 3rd party sounds a little iffy.
Try FastDialer. It is fast and pretty complex.

On your stock dialer start typinyg D A V then to the right of where u r typing an arrow should appear (righ above the "3 DEF" button) click that arrow and you should have a list of names that contain D A V or the associated numbers. That's assuming yu have other names or numbers that are similar to D A V. Let me know if it worked. Thx.

I like "Dialer One" a lot. It's free on the market and has all the features I expect from a good dialer.
Hi,
I'm running CM7 at the moment. Does anyone has a suggestion for a good dialer?

Dialer one is okay

Rom Development - only meant for very advanced technical discussion directly related to ROM development activity and the delivery of actual ROMs and ROM components ONLY. Nothing else goes in here.
@lukyjay:
I've reviewed this thread and it seems like a legitimate request for a Dialer application which is typically classified as a Theme/App - no action taken.
dialer one is ok
dialer2 is better
Whenever i'm on a stock rom i use Youlu.
atakephone is a very good dialer. in my opinion way better than dialer one or 2 or even the htc dialer.
its not for free but very cheap (~1,50€)
if you come from sense use dialer2
it rocks
dialer one
After trying DialerOne for a long time and now using Dialer2 (which is pretty, but very slow) I still find that they're both inferior to the Sense dialer :/. I wish the "stock" CM dialer were better, as right now I feel stuck with a slow dialer due to needing the search capabilities of Sense-like dialers.
Also, DialerOne didn't display contact images in call history despite displaying them fine in the contacts list.
I downloaded yesterday "atakephone", haven't yet tested it fully, but it really looks promising. Worth a try.

youlu is very nice, or dialer one if you want something less pretty and more basic.
If only there was an "old fashioned" phone dialer app where you rotate the wheel until you get to the number and repeat for each digit.

Same here, only weather started to work after a while, like if I only said "weather" instead of the whole phrase. Only real problems I'm noticing so far is that talk back can be iffy (only works sometimes) and I get a fc every time I try to set a wake command in settings. I'm sure there is more to report, only played with it a bit.

It doesn't know where to hide a dead body
Gues I'll have to ask someone with an iphone to help me..
what makes this any different than voice actions, jeannie, or vlingo? actually those seem to work better than s-voice....
It seems to only handle small requests. Like "open music" and open "XDA". Its faster to just open the app from the drawer. It is pretty funny trying to send SMS and looking at what it thinks you said. Or just messing around, like "Text *blank* message o I c u 8 1 2. Try turning up your media volume in volumes menu and unchecking "link volumes" to get talk back.
