Since updating to 2.3.3 I cant use voice commands for anything except to search the web. I used to be able to hold the search button and say send message to ... hello, and it'd text ... a message with hello. Or I could say go to skysports.com and it'd open the browser and navigate there. Now when I use these commands it searches google for what I've said. Any ideas? Everyone on 2.3.3 have this problem?

Works perfect for me. I had some problems myself after updating. Back up you memory card and do a reinstall with SEUS. The PC Companion stuff it's not working very well.

just tried navigate to, that works, but send message to... doesn't work! a few others that i used to use don't work anymore!
Even on 2.3.2 the only command that worked for me was navigate to.
So no change there

Send message to and a name worked, call and a name worked, go to and a url would work, now none if them work...what's the story?

The solution is fairly simple, it only works when US English is selected as the language. If UK English is selected then you will only get a very limited set of the voice features.

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
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.

You can install it manually. I did it a few weeks ago and its been fine.

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.

Go here and follow all instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107499. This will make the option to install non-market apps straight on your device (HTC Aria) appear!!! Enjoy!
Known issues:
- Unable to send/receive mms (since settings are erased - maybe re-inputting them will enable it again?...)
- HTC Wallpaper list disappears (These wallpapers can still be accessed in their root folder - system/customize/resource)

Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I tried this on two Arias running 2.2 and it worked, but it disabled the HTC Wallpaper section options (the select screen comes up but there are no wsllpapers shown) and the MMS send/receive also doesn't work. As hard reset fixed these issues but also removed the "unknown sources" option.
I can load wsllpapers via the live wallpapers and gallery options, but I can't fix the MMS issue.
Sent from my HTC Aria using XDA App
it did work for me to unable 3rd party apps installation although it did reset the wallpaper and made the wallpapers disappear from the list but who cares.. I dont use MMS feature, so cant comment on that..
worked for me also but now can not recieve mms
Has anyone tried manually restoring MMS settings?

I'm glad I waited for more replies.
as long as I can download the .apk, its really not that big of a deal to me anyway. Just have to connect phone to pc, find the file, drag it to my computer and then install it with android injector. This works for amazon apps and any app I have download from here.
If u rooted ur phone you would not need this and rooted phones have been able to do this for quit sometime now. Duh!

What .apk are you talking about? There is no .apk you download to unlock this option. You have to clear the data of two specific system apps to do this.

I THINK that he's talking about root not being that big of a deal as long as he can sideload...I'm pretty sure. Over a long time of being on forums, I have learned to read and understand the most incomprehensible of verbiage.
sorry, i was generalizing. basically if you can download the app, even if you cant install it from your phone, there is a simple method to get it installed when you get to your computer.
edit: yes, I was talking about how easy it is to sideload. just my opinion. easier to do than possibly lose mms options with this method to get the unknown sources checkbox.
just going to wait for the actual update. which better come soon. as it was supposed to be out before this thread even started.

The update was out before this thread started but only some (very few) people got it. So if someone can't wait for it, since it seems like no one else is going to get it, and they can afford to lose the mms setting (which could be reset manually), then they can do this method.
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!
TIA

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.
