Within settings of the Google TTS engine are two voices.English UK and English US. When set to US all speaking apps use the voice. When set to UK (even though when you Listen To An Example the UK voice plays) the apps continue to use US not UK. The Samsung TTS engine performs properly. On mine I have US and UK. When either is picked the apps use the appropriate voice, unlike Google. I have tried clearing data and cache,m no help.
Anyone else try this and having it work correctly or have an answer to the problem??

heya,
I have a Google Voice account, that's already been activated - I live in Australia, and I used LocalPhone to patch it through to my normal VoIP line here, to do the activation.
So I can login to the Google Voice website, send SMSes, and I've even received a transcripted voicemail (appears to be a tele-marketer...haha).
Anyhow, my question is, is it possible to activate Google Voice on the Android, outside the US? It seems to require its own activation, outside of the normal Google Voice activation, not sure if there's a workaround for people outside the US?
Cheers,
Victor
oh you did it through your voip, good job i did it with a temp us number but found out that will just end up paying long distance regardless.
Try activating it with wifi and make sure you are using the latest version from the market.
I'm overseas right now, which means that Google Voice technically doesn't work for me. However, because of SipDroid and Grunted's walkthrough (on this forum) I have google voice working.
I'd like to be able to use the new Voice Plus app, but when i search for it in the market or try to install it with AppBrain, I can't, because the app isn't available over here.
Can someone please pull the apk and post it? the app itself is free, just not available to those of us who are overseas.
Hey everyone,
I am wondering if y'all figured out if google voice can refresh itself to get text messages. My friend's phone receives text messages ONLY after she refreshes Google voice.
Anyone else have this issue or not issue, nuisance?
I don't think anybody really understands what you are asking. What phone does your friend have, and are you referring to the text messages that are forwarded to the phone from Google Voice, or the text messages that are sent directly to the phone, or something else entirely (viewing Google Voice text messages in an application or web browser)?
It's kind of hard to answer a question when I have no idea what you're asking.
As far as I know Google Voice is not capable to run on WP7. I tried it through the browser and it required a download which WP7 cannot accomodate. So yes please clarify the question and maybe we can help.
Are you perhaps talking about one of the GV apps ?
There are two (or maybe three) unofficial Google Voice apps in the market. That's what OP is asking about.
Remember those are unofficial 3rd party apps and each has their own pros and cons.
WP7 API currently is quite limited. To make full use of Google Voice capability, Microsoft need to open up API furthermore so that Google will port an official Google Voice over.
FYI, on my Android phone, the native Google Voice app is tightly integrated with phone dialer pad so that you don't need to use a separate dial pad to call through Google Voice. Also, the multi-tasking capability means Google Voice app can sit on the background to receive text messages and voice mails. These are currently not possible on WP7. One of the Google Voice app needs to setup a dedicated server (from donated funds) to support the push notification.
Three advantages about Google Voice:
* cheap international calls on your cell phone
* free SMS
* free visual voice mail.
After the update that incorporated Navigation into Google maps, the voice output has switched to the UK male voice.
I previously had it set to the US female voice and my Google Now, Text to speech and language settings are set to US English. I'm on CM10.1 Stable.
I've tried everything but it still reverts to UK Male for navigation and is the only time it does so.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to change it back?
Hey all,
i have been trying to find a solution on xda and the web for the following problem:
I have S4 with Omega v20 and cannot seem to be able to use ChatON voice or video chat. I find this feature to be very clean and stable compared to other services such as skype (yes call me crazy)
My brother also have an S4 with the chaton voice working fine. As a matter of fact he can call me through chaton voice. But i do not have that option to call him back.
I hope someone can suggest a solution. (i even set in wanam xposed system to "official" just in case the app checks)
Thanks.
