So many people/blogs all keep saying its just a copy of Siri or that voice command is useless. But what's new is that this is active all the time. E.g. You can answer a call, snooze alarm etc with just voice and no need to start an app.
AFAIK this is a first. So many things can be done and it will only get better.
Is it really completely handsfree???
Thats what I also thought when samsung described the S-voice.
But then after watching all the videos, I reckon its not completely handsfree.
For example for the lock screen, you need to first press the power button or home button to get the screen on, and then say the command to unlock it.
Correct me if I am wrong.

i was wondering this and they made it sound like its completely hands free but that would be too good to be true probably unless it affects battery...

Not any longer...starting today, Vlingo servers are denying requests from the S-Voice app not installed on an SGS3. It was fun while it lasted... fortunaltely, flipboard isn't doing the same.

fair enough. but this is funny because reminds me a bit of apple - and how they said siri will only be on the 4S because the artificial intelligence algorithm requires at least a dual-core processor and what not. next thing you know it gets hacked and runs flawlessly on an iphone 2g
i would say, it's good, that the device has a lock-screen mode too, because when i have it in my pocket, i'm not interrested in starting programs or calls
but the S Voice will be for sure an awesome feature - i hope it will work for all languages fine
and about using it on different devices - i would imagine, that it could end in a developer <-> producer ping-pong same like siri?!

This would also explain why it Says something about network and not doing anything on the wifes Nexus, as I was sure it was working before
Has anyone tried to change their build prop to mirror GSIII ? and see if it works then, I would but the wife would have fit if I messed with her's
it is a shame it doesn't work anymore on my One X, but I don't blame Samsung for disabling it. I'm about to throw down $700 on this phone so I want it to keep its exclusives as much as possible haha.
Other than that, I would feel bad for all those people that worked together to integrated it only for it to get pirated.
Hey guys
I saw that the new Moto X has an assist feature which automatically puts your phone into a drive mode when the phone senses you are driving.
The biggest feature I am interested in is the phone reading my text messages while I drive.
Can we port this to the nexus 4?

I would love this as well. I see over here they have the completed dump of the phone. They have been toying around with the APKs, but I am far from a dev. If we could get assist and the "Ok Google Now" feature that'd be swell. :cyclops:
:good:+1 Either or both of these would be awesome if they wouldn't be heavy on battery, etc.
Nah, it wouldn't be as good as on the Moto X because that has a separate processor core for language processing and for listening out for your voice. It will drain the battery, although I think with tasker it would be cool to set it up so that it only listens for your voice when its charging or at home KR something.

Just found a Moto-Assist-equivalent free app! It's called Agent https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tryagent
The Motorola launched new features for moto x, some of these features can be installed on a nexus 4 as the bike asistit ?
Interesting Android smartwatch here. It can actually be used as a standalone phone, bands are GSM/GPRS Quad Band:GSM 850/900/DCS 1800/PCS 1900 MHZ (can this be used on AT&T?).
What I'm not seeing is if it can be used as a dialer for your phone, so you can just leave it in your pocket and make and receive calls like the Gear.
What do you guys think? I'm tempted to get it just to play around with.

Doing some further reading, yes you can initiate a call to your phone with it, woot! It also has music over bluetooth and local storage. It looks like it has no speaker/mic so you have to use a headset with it, boo, but that's ok.

Feature phone software, bleh.
Although I guess for 100 bucks you can't expect it to run Android.
Edit: Hmm, just noticed no where does it say there's a speaker built in...guess you have to use a headset to use it as a phone.
Also only compatible with Android 2.3-4.0. Doesn't say it works with newer.

Strange, I was also surprised by that 4.0 rather then 4.x reference. And I think you are right about headphone 3.5mm jack as the only way to listen to the music. Would have been great if they would include a camera in there.

Haha, first thing that crossed my mind when i saw it.
Dunno why but personally i find most smart watches just tend to look either dull, or just plain awful. Maybe it's because of the space they have to work with? Dunno :/
You guys realize it's a phone? It might be nice to have as a backup phone, or if I just want a tiny phone. It doesn't run apps, but I never had much use for apps on a 1.5" screen.
It's interesting, I may grab one just to play around with. It seems to have AT&T bands. I don't plan on using it like a watch though, it's too ugly like that. I'd just stick it in my pocket or clip it on.

We're fully aware. It's just between recent offerings like the Omate Truesmart and previous offerings like every chinese watch phone out there, this one seems like too little too late to really make sense right now.
If you want a cheap feature-phone watch check out what's available to get a style you like. This one is pretty big and ugly for what it does.

So I got one and got to say this thing is a perfect companion for a phone at work. Built in mic allows you to answer on your wrist and be like I'll call you back it also has Bluetooth audio out and wireless headset support. Weird thing is contacts and messages won't work without a sim has to have one active or not I'm on Verizon so its pointless to try lucky I had art laying around and it vibrates!! This thing is sweet to be cheap!!!

From the watch description:
Smart Sync Function: Can sync with smart phone, downloading phonebook and call history (iOS 4.0+ and Android 2.3+) to the device. When using Android 2.3+ OS, download and install the WiMe NanoSmart APK on the Android device and the NanoSmart will sync with the Android device (Google calendar events, new Gmail notification, call history, phonebook, sent/received SMS).
Have you tried to install WiMe NanoSmart?
I'm on 4.3 AOKP linario I can't say its bougus but the contacts sync but....... With out each and every number having the country code in it it refuses to call or message weird right? Gmail hasn't worked or calendar. I refuse to downgrade for it. I use this to get away with texting and calling at work via mini Bluetooth headset and a beanie lol.

Why, it is the same number of syllables? And Moto is somewhat an unusual word like Google.
This is actually a topic I was going to start on Reddit a few days ago. How "Ok Moto" is so much easier to say, and just makes more sense than the ridiculous phrase they came up with. It's also adding to their brand recognition every time someone sees/hears you use it.
I recall reading here that when someone looked into the code that handles decoding the phrase the original may have been "hello moto". The "OK google now" was clearly a google influence. I have tried various other word combos but none work as well as "ok google now", the code is clearly optimized for it.

I dropped the "Now" entirely and so far it seems to work just fine with "OK Moto!". Will run with it until I notice any problems. It complained a bit on the 3rd training attempt, but I finally got it to accept the new phrase.

I did that, too and it is working fine for me. Much easier to say OK Moto. And no big deal to retrain if it gives me false positives.
I found just OK moto was activating it when just saying OK. By changing it to ok moto now it works just like saying OK Google now.

That works, too; it is just that it responds before I even get to say "X". So it is really responding to "OK Moto".

It should say/show that your phrase is incorrect. Given enough times it will set it to whatever you say. Mine would respond to "Ok Moo Cow" but the ambient noise issues and accidental dials when I was doing nothing made me change back.
I've had numerous false activations while driving, and once while it was in my pocket. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

Friends--
If you're like me, you've found the native 'ok google' prompt to be a much faster / more elegant solution on lollipop than the moto middleman.
We can disable the moto software and enable the google implementation, however we are never given the option for it to work while the screen is off (and unplugged). We know that the hardware is there, so I am assuming that there is a flag somewhere that we need to change.
I'm going to start exploring on my own, but anyone else who can help look / has ideas on where to look, i figured this thread could be a group development project on this.
Looking forward to this!
Anyone have a thought on where to start looking?

After disabling Moto Voice, go to the Google Settings app -> Search & Now -> Voice -> "Ok Google" Detection.
There you can set "Ok Google" to respond then the device is locked.

I look forward to your findings. Being able to use Ok Google from the screen off state -while- unplugged would be nice to have. I'd bet dollar to doughnuts that moto disabled the necessary flag in order to allow their Voice middleware to function properly - without giving it the ability to set it back when Voice is disabled.
I think I've read something somewhere about flag 199? It's likely I'm mistaken though.
Good luck!

The hardware in the Moto X 2014 was designed to work with Motorola's implementation of screen-off voice recognition. Unfortunately the phone came out just a little too early to have the "standard" Google implementation since phones supporting that did not start coming out until ~1 month later.
It's not that easy
The X8 processing core in this device comes with a Natural Language Computing Processor NLCP core built in, which is a proprietary low power implementation. Therefore, the software portion that handles the output from the core is custom made by Motorola, and is not something that you find in the Android source tree, because a low power LCP core like the X8 never existed before. Similarly, the 'Ok Google' implementation is Google's proprietary implementation, part of the Google Suite of Applications, only to be installed as add-ons on devices that are compatible with 'Android Compatibility Definition Document'. The apps provided by Google usually do not undergo any OEM customizations.
To conclude, it's not as easy as enabling/ disabling a flag in the Android source to link to proprietary implementations from different vendors together.
P.S - Google's 'Ok Google' may work from from all the screens including a secure lock screen, but it cannot leverage the low power LCP core. This will impact your battery life !!!

Yeah got it to work yesterday (with the screen off) for about 2 hours. Then it started not to work at all. Went back to Moto native app and its hit and miss with the app. hopefully it get fix cause its pretty annoying that the reason why i got this phone is because of this feature.
Not only the response is slower and unstable but it is limited to a single person..
Native ok google never fails... Its quicker.. And allows my girlfriend to give commands to the phone on the car along with me...
This thread has a simple tasker profile to do this. http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1rfqsj/psa_note_3_has_always_listening_out_of_the_box/
That doesn't help me, since I would like the option to use both at the same time. What chip is the nexus 6 using, I thought they were close. Both TI dsps right? Would it be possible to trick now into thinking it is on a Nexus 6?

Its the exact same chip. We should be able to have that feature working on ours as well. We'd have a better chance if we reach out to Motorola to make it possible. Just like switching on the ambient display, they should let us chose between google now or moto voice!
