Speaktoit Virtual Assistant - Epic 4G General

Has anyone got this to work on the Epic??? I installed it, and the program is able to understand my commands but I'm unable to hear any responses back. If you got this to work, could you give me a step by step on exactly what you did?

I just installed it and I can here it speak. Make sure your have media volume up. I'm running acs frozen.

Also I have both the speech and conversation mode on in the settings. And make sure you have pico tts installed. The app itself is not that accurate. I like "voice actions infinity" a lot better.

Yea I think there is something wrong then. Because I downloaded other apps like Vlingo and Voice Search and again, the program understands me but when it speaks back to me, I can't hear anything. My media volume is turned up. Do I have to add something to my phone? This is so frustrating.

Ok...go to your phone settings--voice input and output--text to speech settings--default engine--pico tts. Let me know how it goes please.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

Yea I went there and I selected Pico but it dosen't do anything. I even tried downloading espeak tts and when I go to select that engine it force closes. It seems like I either have something disabled or I'm missing something that won't allow me to use tts. By the way, Im able to hear fine while using a navigation program, its just anything else, I'm having problems.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

i think navigation is different since it's not actually reading anything to you from a text. are you running a costume rom or r u stock? have you tried restarting your phone after enabling the tts?

Im using the epic revolution fat free rom too by the way. I just sent a pm to the developer asking him was there something excluded from the rom that is not allowing me to hear from these programs. Hopefully he gets back to me as soon as possible.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I was just about to suggest contacting the developer. As long as you have tts enabled you should be good to go. It looks like an issue with the way your phone or rom is handling its text to speech engine. post his reply here because im sure others would like to know also (if in fact its a problem the rom). I wish i could be of any more help bro.

No doubt. I will let you know what he say. If he doesn't respond, I will post my question to the actual rom thread to see if someone could help me. Thanks!

Mine was not working either for about one minute..till i went to download that app they pretty much shove down your mouth when u first open the app. It may seem like it doesnt install..even the comments beneath will say it doesnt install...but it does..just on your sd card. It will create a folder. Go back in the app and Iris is working like a charm!!

XDA App force close

I tried to search this but since "xda app" is in so many sigs I can't find information.
When I post anything the xda app will force close and I have to sign in again. Is there a fix for this?
(I will now post this and kill the app.)
EDIT: posing a new thread didn't kill it.

This happens to me as well. Replying to a thread force closes the app on the Vibrant, but the post gets posted anyway.
I am also seeing this happen. I also noticed when I sign back in the swype keyboard is locked. Pressing any button will cause the app to try and sign back in. I will have to pull up another input method and then revert back to be able to type.
Ditto.

The fix for that is to turn it to landscape and enter the password. Not sure why, but it works.
So... We have concluded that the XDA App has a problem. Who fixes these kinds of things?

Mine worked fine for a while, now does the Force CLose with every post. Nothing changed in between working OK and FC state.
EDIT - I have a captivate.
haha...i thought I was the only one with this problem.

Same problem here.
New post doesn't kill it, but replies do.

I guess this is a Galaxy s problem. Still no solution?
pretty sure its an issue with the app itself, not the phone.
It's not just galaxyS. I'm back on my MT3G and while I don't get fc, I am forced to the login screen after (almost) every post. On the vibrant, it would fc but it seems to be the same bug. I would comment in the market so the app devs know about it.
One buggy app.

Happens on my Vibe too.
Yeah it used to do this on my G1 as well. Buggy app indeed but I still use it daily.

Consider buying the full tapatalk app, that's what the XDA app is based on. Some recent updates have made it a LOT more stable. Not perfect, but I don't get kicked out to the login prompt and such anymore.
Lol def a widespread issue, always happened to me but at least the post goes through do I've never thought to bring it up...kinda smart tip do do given this iiiiis a dev board, lol
Pooped from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app...
Dont mind the skidmarks...
XDA fc's on tapatalk too, dont know whats up with that.

SKYPE at last!!

Skype finally made it to Android and Legend in particular. Haven't tested it with voice calls yet. Now, maybe GTalk will follow?
I've tested it a bit and it even works on EDGE. I couldn't believe that myself but it does.
Link
Hmm... Just seeing the list of permissions it requires confirms I'll stay away from this one as I did from the PC version.
Oh well I lived without it so far without any problem, this won't change
edit: and for a 2.1 stock legend, that's also a pretty big app to install!
Now, maybe GTalk will follow?

Gtalk is a stock app on Android. Or i'm missing your point?
Tested Skype for few mins, seems to work fine. Great sound quality, but... It's so heavyweight and there is no option to shut it down COMPLETELY. Lastly, my phone went offline (which newer happened before) so i just uninstalled it and already forgot. Bloatware.
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
It froze my phone twice, had to reboot several times... This release of Skype makes Legend unusable, at least my Legend.
skype.apk file
Can someone please post the Skype.apk file.
The Skype download for Android link doesn't work.
Thanks,

If you use Market Access, you can gain entry to it.
I did this and downloaded the app, however, i keeps crashing within seconds of me running it. Any idea why?
When I try to sign in, it instantly says try again later, seems like it doesn't even try to sign me in. Any earthlings having the same problem?
Works fine on my phone.

Skype works on my phone so far. However I do see a lot of comments that say the login fails after a while.
EDIT: Spoke too soon... Skype just crashed, and now I can't sign in either

just wondering how much data it uses?
Don't know about data yet, but it seems to be sucking quite a bit of battery though.
Swype from my Legend using XDA App
and it ain't possible to disable the app. only by going to settings - active services
In "my info" tab, press menu and there's an Sign Out option.

We are looking for "Shut that f**k off COMPLETELY" option, no just to sign out. Even when you are signed out it uses quite a lot of resources.

Sensorserver_ya

Does anybody know what this is? I was checking what has used my battery in the settings menu and this showed up as having used 3%. I have no idea what it is....... Running JT's super clean ROM and stock kernel.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Compass. I learned that because catch.com "compass" would not let it go after closing the app it left the process hanging at 60% till reboot.
The full process name is /system/bin/sensorserver_yamaha
Edit: More definitive answer in capture.
good day.
Thank you, chopper - is this something that is normally supposed to be running? I never remember seeing it before - is there any way to close it or is it an essential function?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
yes, it's normal and essential
it facilitates orientation/screen rotation
(ie, accelerometer/compass)
Thank you! My day is now complete - I learned something new

Control PS3 with Android??

I looked around for a app, but could not find one that works.
I found the best one called blueputdroid, but that app won't work on my phone because I have ADFREE and it blocks host, and the app dev doesn't want to have ad's disabled.. soo the app doesn't work without disabling and restoring the hosts.
Anyone have any ideas of a similar app?
bumppppppppppp
I've been looking for an app like that too, but no luck. The best I could do was control media centers that I stream to the PS3....close enough
that'd be sweet
I'd love to get an app like that.
I wish there was an app that would let me use the phone as a Bluetooth keyboard for sending out messages through psn

Oh man that would be awesome!!! I hate using the pop-up keyboard with the control. I wonder if its possible..?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
It is possible, I tried the app Blueputdroid, you guys can too, there's pro and free ads/noads im guessing, but even on the free if you have adfree enabled and your hosts have been changed, the app refuses to start up, so someone who HASNT used adfree can try it and tell us.
Some ROMS have adfree auto-enabled, idk how to get away from that if i ever wanted to.

Google now for ICS

I got to at least run on the atrix, we just need more people to mess with it and figure out how to get it working fully http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1749045

yeah thats the problem everyone has been having
I'm surprised there's not more activity on this. Has anybody looked into exactly what it would take to get this working on a non-AOSP build? Or is this just such uncharted territory that we don't know where to start? I'm obviously no dev, but I would assume we'd probably be able to get this working prior to getting an actual Jell Bean build stable on our devices. Hell, I'd buy a beer for the person or people that can get this working!
Got it on my Atrix running CM9. Running nice even without voice search. You can still use your keyboards voice search.

Every time I launch it I get a "Network Settings" error [which doesn't seem to be service effecting(except that it closes the google header and only brings up the text box)], and it won't allow me to use my keyboard's voice input (Stock AOKP keyboard). It will pull up info cards and set reminders and such, but it's not quite as flawless as all the review videos I've seen.
