Anyone know of voice recognition software I can install to work with the keyboard?

Upgraded to Vegan 7 and lost this feature

When I install uberkeyboard it says no voice recognition is installed on the phone. Tried several others with same results

Thanks for any suggestions

:)
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] SoCal2:
Google voice search did it

Installed and working fine

Newbie error on my part

"OSVersion Android 2.3"

Nice.

Edit: So this is pretty interesting. The Galaxy S International is supposed to get it mid April, which is pretty soon. The fact that they are already testing builds on Sprint is a good sign.

Edit2: First post from OP whose name is Epic2.3? Did you find this out and register to post it? If so, awesome.

[Epic 4G General] murso74:
lol i'm almost dissapointed! i was looking forward to the CM7 build being created from the Nexus S rom.... almost but not. go sprint/samsung! i think getting a quick GB update would make the froyo debacle much more bearable. curious though... why 2.3 and not 2.4? i thought gingerbread officially made the transition to 2.4
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Also gotta tell you few brave posters out there who were optimists about GB and its shortened development window were right. Wish I could remember specifically who it was but no more than 2-3 I'd guess, and I admit I wasn't one. :-)
[Epic 4G General] deano0714:
Lets hope it doesnt get released in a few months.

Now we wait for a leaked build...
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
Ha! I hope the ones that were bashing Samsung feel bad now - I've always had confidence with them. :)
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I agree, kind of. We had leaked versions of Froyo back in early November. Froyo wasn't officially released until mid March. Thats 4 months. Obviously there were complications (z4root) that caused major delays and the porting of Gingerbread shouldn't be nearly as difficult for Samsung, but . . . . you never know. If Gingerbread is launched officially in mid August, its still a major disappointment.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
They haven't done much to deserve it. The least they could do at this point is confirm it to the public, not make people sit and hope.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
Given the relatively short gap between these rdfs and actual updates in the past, I actually don't expect this to come months later. Maybe overconfident of me but the differences between Froyo and GB being supposedly much less than Eclair to Froyo, I think it looks good--maybe just weeks?
[Epic 4G General] smwinn7:
I for one will not be holding my breath

Well I seen it on the engadget app on my phone, samsung began rolling out 2.3 on the galaxy s in europe, idk what that means for us, but just thought id let ppl know
[Epic 4G General] jtw78:
If we have anyone in Germany or thereabouts we might be able to score the update.zip file.

Engadget source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/16/galaxy-s-gingerbread-update-now-rolling-out-across-europe/
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
is Germany CDMA?
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Probably not.

Wouldn't matter anyway; our phones are too different for an update.zip to matter. Our only similarity with the Galaxy S i9000 that matters is the same processor and software.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
No part of Europe is AFAIK.

I know I can't wait for all the poo poo'ers to get bew phones so they can go complan elsewhere. You will be happy for a minute but you will complain eventually when you realize your life is still crap and the phone didn't make it any better :-)
[Epic 4G General] johndoehizzle:
So what can we expect from 2.3? ...smoother scrolling/ what's r the goods?...I'm on ec05.had di18,dk28,eb13 and now ec05.but haven't really seen much difference? ....not trying to sound stupid,but besides some newer apps being able to work with the newer android systems.what r the pros? ...I mean,I know its good/cool to have and be up to date/have the newest.but what r the goods that come with it?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
I see 2.2 as updating the functionality and 2.3 as updating the looks. There is obviously more to it than that simple generalization, but 2.3 looks a lot better than 2.2.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
2.3 is tailored to the hummingbird processor and will provide similar enhancements to froyo for the snapdragon.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Well, thats easy enough to test. I am running a bunch of tests right now and comparing them to the Nexus S' results from here:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/4059/nexus-s-and-android-23-review-gingerbread-for-the-holidays/8

Nexus S vs Epic4g with 2.2 (ACS 1.1):

Sunspider .9 = 6410 vs 7195 (lower is better)

Browsermark = 37597 vs 35605

Neocore = FPS limit reached

Quake 3 = FPS limit reached

Quadrant CPU = 4345 vs 1423

Quadrant I/O = Meaningless number since ACS is on EXT vs RFS (807 vs 4097 if you care)

Linpack = 14.277 vs 13.866

Epic4g 2.2 (ACS 1.1) vs 2.1 stock:

Sunspider .9 = 7195 vs 15532 (lower is better)

Browsermark = 35605 vs 28229

Neocore = FPS limit reached

Quake 3 = FPS limit reached

Quadrant CPU = 1423 vs 772

Quadrant I/O = Meaningless number since ACS is on EXT vs RFS (4097 vs 935)

Linpack = 13.866 vs 8.135

So it looks like we ARE in for a bit of improvement even though 2.2 improved things greatly. Obviously they optimized SOMETHING, most likely the jit compiler to work well with the hummingbird looking at those Quadrant CPU scores. As to whether it will be noticeable in the real world, its a tentative maybe. Looks like things will be 5-10% faster than what we have right now. Of course thats before the devs start optimizing things.

Supposedly gingerbread has better power management, better copy and paste, NFC support, and lots of other small improvements. They also rewrote all the power timer codes, so in theory the TWS bug is gone.
[Epic 4G General] Kitteh298:
wait wait.. how can copy/paste get any better, it works well, i cant think of any other way to do it o.o
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Idk, but the copy and paste dragger we have now fc's some apps when I use it. I still do it the way we did in eclair.

The text handle will highlight text to copy rather than trying to hold shift and swiping finger across text so much better.

Currently, I hold down on a text field, hit select text and pick what I want. The new froyo blue dragger causes apps like memo and xda app for example to fc for me.

All this is great for epic users. I still have my epic but have moved on to tmobile and a g2. Sure hardware wise the epic is a better phone but htc get updated more often than not and right now the epic is at none. I'm running cyanogen and loving it. I just hopes this come sooner than later to avoid more epic users leaving.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
umm...what are you basing this on? The Epic has received plenty of updates...
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
reality? 10char
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
It's only received one real update, the rest were bug fixes that, quite frankly, shouldn't have been necessary.
[Epic 4G General] intx:
And the G2(being stock android) still doesn't have an official 2.3
[Epic 4G General] tumbes20000:
I don't see why it will take sprint/samsung too long to update since they are now going to carry the nexus. Isn't the nexus basically a galaxy s phone, so hardware wise should be easy?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
Well then what other HTC phones have received more than one update by those standards? Not the Evo for sure.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Google updates the Nexus, not Samsung or Sprint so no, they have to load their crap on it, "test it to meet their standards" and a million other BS excuses.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
The Evo is guaranteed at least one more to Gingerbread via official announcement and through it's entire life (almost a year) has only needed one bug fix which was released within a week of it's release, the Epic has jack squat.
[Epic 4G General] intx:
I don't know where you're getting "only one bug".

Just recently they had to fix a bug where Evos would randomly reboot multiple times a day and show incorrect location(stuff like Egypt when you're in the US).
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Like you said "recently". I switched from my evo in September, so I wouldn't have any recent bugs, but I know for a fact in the 4 months I used mine there were less bugs in both eclair and froyo.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
So far I have receved DI18, EB13 and EC05 OTA. I have heard a few received DK28 before it was pulled. That's 3 or 4 updates. 1 being a major update and 2 being maintenance updates.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
"Maintenance Updates" shouldn't be considered updates, all they do is fix problems that shouldn't exist in the first place.
[Epic 4G General] usfslacker:
Ok, guys, its official; this guy's living in La La Land and has no authority to discuss this topic any further. Any further posts should be glossed over.

The Evo had a whole slew of updates thrown at it at launch for everything from ridiculously awful battery life to other miscellaneous fixes, just like the Epic. Software bugs are an inherent reality to making things this complex. Don't like them? Get a Jitterbug. The Epic may not have "Gingerbread: Coming Soon!" plastered on its product page, but we know its coming from a specific, reliable Sprint source. The Evo also had several fixes come much more recently, namely the FPS cap removal. BOTH will get Gingerbread (probably about the same time barring unforeseen difficulties on either side), both will launch with bugs that will take an additional OTA to hammer out most likely, and both with STILL be fantastic phones into next year.

Don't worry though, with a username like Xbox 360 I don't expect you to be a very informed consumer, and I expect you to like your defects more hardware encoded than software so that you can chip MS an extra $300 for a backup.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Let's glance over this post:

Ad Hominem, Classy.

If you really want to sink to that level than with a username like usfslacker I wouldn't expect you to be very qualified at anything.

Arguments about usernames don't make too much sense now do they?

Neither do arguments over the internet, so I will not continue to argue with you.
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
i dont' know why people are including updates that were pulled for screwing up peoples phones. we've gotten 2... DI18 and EC05. the first one was a maintenence update and the second one was 6 months late. we still have most of the big bugs that have been plaguing us since the beginning and some new ones to boot. most of the bug fixes have been done by the devs on this board
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Ok calm down guys. Jeez. Every computer that has run software has had updates to fix problems. What do you consider Service Pack 2 for windows? If you say bugs shouldn't exist, most electronics would never come out. It's naive to think otherwise.
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
Name one phone that has had no issues ever.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
I'm not saying bugs shouldn't exist, what I'm saying is that having more bugfixes than any other phone (that I've ever used) when it's the best phone a company makes doesn't exactly inspire confidence in consumers and is a big part of why so many people go with the iPhone. As the cliche goes, "It just works".
[Epic 4G General] murso74:
i can't. but i can name a ton that have had much better support then the Epic. or any samsung phone for that matter
[Epic 4G General] The Root:
iPhone had the left hand debacle where Steve Jobs told users stfu and sent them a free case. I don't think the bug had yet been fixed.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
You're missing the point, people could care less about an over sensationalized bug like that, software wise it's rock solid, and that's all that matter to most people. Even as a fan of Android and WebOS I have to admit it's well made software.
[Epic 4G General] roghaj:
What about the red phone in the oval office?

The roms to follow this official release are going to be (I was going to say epic) great. Let hope they put the code out on release day like they have been doing.

Are we going to get rid of the 2.2 release rumors thread or at least change it to 2.3?

[Epic 4G General] gTen:
um..first of all this was concerning G2 vs Epic...I wasnt aware G2 recieved more then 1 update by those standards..

That said bug fixes are always necessary..

um..there was an official announcement? I must have missed it..only a leak was seen...either way we are going to get Gingerbread 2 via them working on ED12..

Last I checked wasn't evo on 2.2 while Epic on 2.2.1? so we effectively got 2 updates while Evo only got 1 by your standard...

And Evo had PLENTY of bugs..the 30fps bug is a very famous one that took forever to fix..then the random reboots..I can go on...

There was a DG17->DG27 update for those that got it first day. and the other few min..and DI07 which was mostly a content update...

Its not more then any other phone...it depends when you get the phone...my friend got a phone 2 month ago...they are not tech savvy..all they complained about was battery life and haven't even noticed most of the bugs..so apparent they are not that apparent..then again they also complaiend baout iphone's bad battery life..
[Epic 4G General] asj2583:
who cares about stock 2.3 android when it has fully working cyanogen mod 7 which is android 2.3 plus more and this badboy can be overclocked 1.9 ghz!
[Epic 4G General] asj2583:
thats prob user error and not a bug.
[Epic 4G General] asj2583:
regarding htc vs samsung. i noticed that htc has there stuff more together than samsung. if a samsung does recieve any updates at all it prob thanx to the great devs here at xda. samsung seem to get handsets out which are outdated and instead of updating the software they just take out another handset and give there other samsung user the middle finger. htc still updates the nexus one, enough said!
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
We will have fully working cm7 soon too...and rumor is cm7 is going to stop supporting future htc phones...

also, 1.9ghz has not as much benefit as people think.. remember how the G2 does better at 800mhz then Evo at 1ghz? what makes the difference? the GPU..right now we are entering a point where Hardware Acceleration is vital...so even at 1.9ghz and Epic at 1ghz, the Epic would still be smoother...

HTC doesnt update the N1, Google does! As for HTC recieving updates..if you've used HTC for a logn time you would know that ALL updates to HTC were done by devs..HTC update record has been TERRIBLE..only reason we used HTC was because of the devs...but they have improved lately..and so has samsung..Samsung is newer to the Android game, but they seem to be getting on track lately...

And FYI, Samsung only abandoned 1 device the behold..thats it! (from that came the rumor that Samsung never updates their phones)
[Epic 4G General] dieselg5:
I can't believe you people still praise this phone like god himself uses it as his personal phone. You can't accept that other phones are 100x better than this piece of s**t will ever be. You remind me of Apple fanboys that will lick the sweat off of Steve's balls and say it's not salty because he made Apple and everything Apple makes is the best thing ever made in the universe.

It's just sad.....
[Epic 4G General] asj2583:
Well everyone is entiled to there opions. Regardless if htc, google or xda updates the phones, htc handsets are updated more frequently than samsung expect for maybe the nexus s as this is updated by google. I remade the jump back to htc since this is my second htc handset as I preveously had the evo which I gave to my wife and couldn't recover as she didn't wan. the epic! Let's just hope the epic gets 2.3 so the poor sucker who buys the epic of me can be updated. Btw, how much should I sell the epic for if I can sell it as it has a crack on the screen but still working.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Its actually a known bug..not a user error...

No one is "praising" anything...we just want a "fair" assessment..its like HTC and Samsung join up to beat you up...HTC hits you with a crowbar and Samsung slaps you...

And when you go to the police you claim Samsung did all the beating and HTC is an innocent bystander...

In my opinion I see both HTC and Samsung as brands I can buy, I chose Samsung due to the hardware..simple as that as HTC kept shafting outdated hardware!

see perfect example of what I just said..you said "Well everyone is entiled to there opions. Regardless if htc,

google

or xda updates the phones" and before "htc still updates the nexus one, enough said!"..but Nexus S is unfair to give to samsung? see the bias right there? I am not saying your being biased on purpose..but many are biased subconsciously even without realizing!

and FYI, Galaxy S has already been updated to Gingerbread..not one HTC made device has official Gingerbread.

Also, the Galaxy S is receiving 100X more development then the moment..and considering that HTC plans to lock people down and doesnt release source code..expect next generation Samsung and LG and other manufactures to catch up to HTC xda development or even surpass it.

Thats fine, everyone has their preferences..either way Epic is getting Gingerbread....

I love how you pointed out my "logical fallacy" and then openly admitted that Apple's glaring oversight on HARDWARE is OK because the software is rock solid. Regardless of your knee jerk defense of your screen name (and yes, in the interest of full disclosure, I go to USF and my work ethic could be described as subpar, what of it?), it doesn't make my argument any less poignant. You want to discount someone's argument? Use a part of the post relevant to the discussion.

And no one's making out Samsung to be a magical Savior or maligning HTC as awful. Both are OEMs, both aren't perfect, and both have sporty records, ESPECIALLY when comparing these two phones.

I would say having bug fixes actually solidifies my confidence in a company...it shows that they are knowledgable of an issue...and are working to fix it and provide the most complete product reasonably possible.

I enjoy my Epic...thru all the "bugs" that did or didnt exist. I personally havent had an issue with my phone aside from the keyboard...which I could deal with. Every phone has its issues...its just which ones can you deal with? As far as I'm concerned...the Epic was and still is a wonderful phone. I will be moving on to the next once the Nexus and EVO 3D drop...not because I dont like my Epic, but rather because I want the next best thing.

I've wondered the same thing. I'd assume that perhaps Samsung has already backed it way off to be more of a launcher and the integration more modular and removable. BUT at the same time, we might see Sprint ID take over instead with the stock launcher.
