(see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1145541).

have you, or by chance anybody else, had success with upgrading to gb?

if so, i would apreciate very much you publish how you proceeded.

Just installed Cyberon Voice Dialer v1.2.3 build 110421 from the Market. Works very well with voice tags via a BT headset.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hampa_D:
nice one, i bought the other Cyberon app Cyberon Voice Commander, hope it works as well as the dialer. the thing is that im now stuck with a huawei u8300 and it doesn't work as i want it to.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ice_coffee:
I don't understand why when our phones already have 2 good voice diallers 1 from google and one from samsung (both powered by vlingo)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Hampa_D:
do they handle Swedish language? it didn't work on my desire and not on my huawei u8300, can't remember if it worked on my Lg optimus 2x.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dosher:
Maybe I didn't spend long enough with those apps. What I want is to hit the button on my BT headset, say the contacts name and have the phone dial it immediately without going through any further steps. All this via the BT headset. I could never get this to work on the HD2 (the mic on the phone picked up the sound, not the BT headset) but Cyberon Voice Speed Dial on the SGS2 works perfectly.

Can you do that with either of the 2 included apps?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ice_coffee:
afaik yes, but I will dust off my old BT headset and check
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] scarecrow2012:
I can also confirm Cyberon Voice Speed Dial works via bluetooth. Vlingo also worked but you couldn't hear confirmation through the bluetooth headset so was a bit hit and miss / hit and hope its calling the right person. CSVD worked great on Windows mobile and does a similar job on Android.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] DrSlump76:
Does this phone support offline voice dialing as symbian phone does?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] egolfer:
THANKS for the incredible recommendation on Cyberon Speed Dial. EXACTLY what I was looking for!

I have a lot of foreign sounding contacts and the voice tagging is just like when I had my Palm Treo 600. Also works well starting up apps like Pandora, SMS, and Maps

HIGHLY recommend this app.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] wergio:
Another important difference is the need of internet connection for the 2 stock dialers. Cyberon's products instead work also without connection
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Manafa:
This voice dialer is really great, because you can record your own voice tag for each contact, instead to try talking like R2-D2 with the stock application. Unfortunately, I have one big issue - when I first installed this app, all works like a charm. When I double press the home button or BT headset button, Cyberon speed dial starts. Then I flash the phone with the latest firmware (KE7) and now when I press these buttons, starting the terrible stock application. I spoke with the tech support, but all of their suggestions doesn't work. If somebody have an idea how to make Cyberon as default application or to remove stock app without rooting the phone, I will be very, very grateful. Already tried in Application/Manage application to clear default values for stock voice commander, but clear default button is innactive (gray).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dosher:
Same problem for me with KE7 firmware - can't launch Voice Speed Dial from the BT headset. Have tried uninstalling it, unpairing the BT headset, turning off phone then removing battery. Then reinstalled app and re-paired headset. Still doesn't work.

Have reported this to Cyberon and they responded "...recent ROMs don't follow standard process of Android's definition to handle the Bluetooth activation event. We're not able to change it at this moment, but have reported this issue to Samsung, and hope they will fix it soon."

Meanwhile the only solution I've found is to root phone and then freeze Voice command using AntTek App Manager. Then unpair BT headset > soft reset > re-pair headset. I now have Voice Speed Dial launching from the headset again.

See post #5

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Idan73:
Just replace vlingo with stock android voice dialer app from sgs or from cm7 with root explorer in system/apps.

Works without internet, you can hear confirmations in bt headset, no need to re-pair the headset.

Or use cyberon.

Attached the version from nexus s.

Is there a way to replace the 'double tap' from launching Vilingo to Launch the Cyberion Voice Dialer app instead? If so, i'll be so glad to know how!
[Windows Phone 7 General] TIGGAH:
So I showed my phone off to a friend and she loved it. She was a Blackberry user and loved how fluid my phone is and it's feature set. For the record I have a Samsung Focus.

She came to me today with her brand new phone "just like mine" and was wondering how to make the screen look like mine does. I looked at her phone and she bought an iPhone 4...

/sigh

She thought for sure my phone had to be an iPhone because who else is there?

I wonder if this lack of knowledge will be the doom of WP7...
[Windows Phone 7 General] hboos:
it's like how people want to know the difference between an ipod and an mp3 player.

blame the retailers. and blame us geeks for knowing too much.
[Windows Phone 7 General] weepatc:
To OP......guess you didn't pass on enough info to your friend. I have a mate who after playing with my HD7 ditched his iPhone & bought an HD7 the next day. I keep passing on info about updates to him as coming from iPhone it's obvious to him a lot of features he's been used to are currently missing. Guess we've gotta keep flying the flag for this wonderful OS until MS catch up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TIGGAH:
I told her multiple times it was a Windows phone. I guess it just didn't sink in. I have gotten over ten new WP7 users at work and 3 friends jumped on it out of work. I am doing my part! lol

A lot of the doctors I work with think anything Microsoft is evil and Apple is righteous (how backwards they have it) so converting them is a challenge but I am working on it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Here come to all retards at my school, who have iPhone. They can sing out loud the song "Windows Phone sucks, iPhone rocks" for all day... Since i am the only one in the school have the Windows Phone.

The lacks of understanding the different between Windows Mobile 6.5 and Windows Phone 7, also some missing features , make they feel good about their iPhone.

My Friend also proud of his iPhone because his Fruit Ninja version run smoother than the Windows Phone version and that mean my phone sucks! LMAO...

Even i show them the correctly example of how Windows Phone 7 beat the crap out of iOS4 in speed and multi-tasking, they just tell me to shut up and they don't even care because they know the iPhone is the best! LOL...

Not only me, even Android user at school be blamed about this too...

The respond that i hear about my phone usually : "Okay, that's cool, but your phone sucks d*** "

I have nothing to tell them because they are all retarded, they don't even know what the different between Megabyte and Gigabyte is...
[Windows Phone 7 General] greystreets:
Ah, the insecurities of youth. We've all been there. Your friends will look back one day and realize how stupid they were. Just enjoy your phone and don't worry about what others think. You'll be a happier person because of it.

I just smile and laughing at them because they are being so stupid. They can laugh at me, but they don't even know what they are actually laughing about... Since i am the student from another country, so they think they are smarter than me...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Avandor:
Tell her to return the iPhone and take her yourself to get a new WP7... or there are ways to make the iPhone look like the WP7 :cool:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Oscardog777:
*Facepalm*

Did you tell her to take it back? :p
[Windows Phone 7 General] TIGGAH:
Yeah, I suggested she bring it back.

I think her reality matrix is blown right now though. How could a non-Apple product be so much better?! The commercials say that's not right!?
[Windows Phone 7 General] PieOfJustice:
Everyone who looks at my phone asks me if it is a iPhone. Like mentioned before they only seem to know about Blackberry and Apple. Unless they are of a younger age they usually are not familiar with Android products either.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vel0city1:
I was in a Panda Express watching a baseball game on my phone through Slingplayer. A woman commented on how awesome that app was and how its so neat what you can do on iPhones these days.

*sigh*
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
BB users are desperate for anything other than a BB these days, Lol.

BTW (not to the person I quoted, someone else after him) it's not cool to generalize an entire class of people as idiots just because they prefer another product.

And I'm still wondering why my post that said the above was deleted out of this thread...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
I've lost count of the number of times someone has accused my HD7 of being a bloody iPhone.

I always take great pains to correct them and to point out the iPhone is merely a minority interest in the great pool of smartphones out there. Apple have less than 50% of the smartphone market, therefore if you see someone with a smartphone, the chances are it is NOT an iPhone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
id loooooove to have that kind of minority interest in my product !!!
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Minority riiight.

It's the best recognized smartphone product ever.
[Windows Phone 7 General] nicksti:
What Jim said is accurate. The iPhone's marketshare is in the minority in the smartphone sales. But boy that is a surface analysis of the market.

The iPhone is the best selling smartphone in 2010. If someone was interested in walking around with multiple smartphones from the same maker then I would see the point of citing marketshare.

I could understand if you owned a Samsung Galaxy device and it be mistaken for an iPhone, but not an HTC. When you see the UI you would have to see the difference immediately.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
This discussion is pointless anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
Its the best selling smartphone but its in the minority? That made no sense at all.

http://www.tipb.com/2011/05/06/appl...eed:+TheIphoneBlog+(TiPb:+iPhone,+iPad,+iPod)
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
It is the minority.

If you look at US sales, Android is at 31%, followed by RIM at 30%. IOS comes third at 24.7%

http://www.comscore.com/Press_Event...uary_2011_U.S._Mobile_Subscriber_Market_Share

If you look at the numbers on a worldwide scale, IOS still loses. Symbian is king here with 37.6% followed by android with 22.7%. IOS pretty much ties in third with it and RIM having about 16% each.

http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1543014

The question, though, is it true that most average users assume a smartphone with a fluid touch and tile based UI is IOS?

In my experience, in the US, I'm afraid it is.

If it is, why is this so?

I would proffer that it is because Iphone refined and brought that interface to the masses. Their success has prompted some of the other platforms to follow suit, android and WP7, but because Iphone made it popular, that UI is essentially equated to an Iphone.

So yes, Iphone is the minority. and still, yes, it is one of the most recognized smartphones.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
^ that made even less sense. I bet every OS maker wants to be your minority.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
@munkeyphyst

What you wrote is totally stupid.

The only real minority is WP7 is with it's laughable sales and almost no market share. For now of course.

iPhone with 20 or 30% of market is a huge chunk of the market. And considering it's just one phone with iOS compared to tons of Androids and many WP7's, it's the absolute ****ing king.

There is no other smartphone on this planet which is constantly growing in it's sales year by year and selling huge millions all the time. Regarding HARDWARE it's a total ruler.

I don't like the iPhone philosophy, that's why I couldn't deal with WP7 - just to be clear on this.

Regarding OS Android rules of course.

I tell you MS is DREAMING of having at least this "minority" part of market. For now it looks like a very hard task however possible.
[Windows Phone 7 General] TIGGAH:
Man, I wish I could prevent some people from posting in threads I create....
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Oh poor you, unluckily you post on open forum :D

So I would like to ask you:

what is so great about your threads topic/content worth a separate thread and the discussion? And what can be really discussed about iPhone/WP7 recognition onn the market without going deeper into the decision making, successes and failures of makers? Please shed some light, because if you posted the original topic just to chit chat than yeah, WP7 is already doomed.
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
So TIGGAH's decision to "chit chat" is the deciding factor in WP7 being "doomed" or not? wow, such power you hold TIGGAH. decide carefully...
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
Haha of course not directly. :)
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
Oh, whew... Thanks for the clarification
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
1. Those marketshare figures do not account for the Verizon iPhone which launched in February. iOS is one phone on one carrier in those figures, and you think it's losing badly? Seriously? Can you make any less sense? Andorid needed a hundred phones to get there and RIM seems to have 3 different phones for each carrier... RIM is held up by the corporate market, though...

2. Symbian is king because of the proliferation of cheap nokia handsets. Most of those devices can't even began to compare with high end iOS/Android or even the WP7 devices with almost 2-year old hardware in them... A lot of Symbian phones can be considered feature phones. The OS is so watered down in them to make it fit on those crappy devices... That being said, buying a cheap Symbian phone in some markets just makes more sense. Getting an expensive high end smartphone subsidized usually comes with mandatory data packages and things like that... It makes more sense for people in emerging markets/developing nations to either get a cheap Curve/Symbian phone off contract, or get a free feature phone and save a ton of money. In the US people don't care too much about that because the standard of living is much higher and data is much cheaper here. There are some places where 500MB data plans there cost as much as a 2GB-5GB/Unlimited data plan here...

3. The WP7 UX is nice at first but it becomes a royal pain in the ass once you're used it a while. No Universal Search. Tiles that scroll for days, and an app list that scrolls for days with no way to quickly get to things like on Android (Press Search Button, type a couple letters and tap the app). Mango is supposed to fix some of this stuff but from what I've seen things like Universal Search is still missing, and instead of a grid of icons you'll be constantly looking at a grid of letters when you're trying to find apps.

Live tiles are really no different than Widgets that update via push notifications on Andorid.

The iPhone is the single most popular and best selling phone in the world. It's the only phone that has people lining up behind the block to get one...

And no, I don't think people should be trying to copy it just because that phone (or any other that copied it) was successful. If people want iOS they will buy an iOS device (iTouch or iPhone, or iPad). WebOS is fantastic and it doesn't even begin to resemble any other major smartphone OS on the market... They actually innovated.. Dunno about WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
As usual, you either didn't read, misread, or selectively read my post before you responded with your whole diatribe of half accurate, near truth interpreatations of what I posted.

1. I never said IOS was "losing badly." In fact, if you did/can read, I said that in spite of it's 3rd place numbers, it's the most recognized phone OS. I can only use the numbers that exist. If you have access to some numbers that show that IOS gained a 5% bump in US sales with the Verizon deal, please share.

2. Duh, that's why I gave both the US and worldwide numbers. Even if you take Symbian out of the the mix of the Worldwide sales, IOS places 3rd by .3%, just saying... third in OS in US, 4th worldwide and significantly less in hardware sales for both.

3. I wasn't talking about WP7. You brought that up so that you can pull out your repetitive, WP7 bashing drivel about what you think or how you feel. Your typical move. Argue a point that the person your responding to didn't make, essentially arguing with yourself. again...

Please take a breath, read, and think before you post...

Why compare a OS thats been around for 4 years too one thats not even been out for a year yet?
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
ios world

op -

on second thought, you did nothing wrong. you didn't fail to inform, educate, or profess wp7's positives (in your opinion).

you just did what people do when asked their opinion, and then the friend effect took over:

a "hey, cool phone, what is it ?"

b "a wp7 whatsit by whoever"

a "pretty ! show me more"

b "snazzzzz flick snazzzzz flick"

a "i'm getting one of those"

.....time.......

.....store......

a "i'm looking for a smartphone, i think it might have been made by whatsit or whoever"

sales "ya, we have those i think. or you can get an iphone over here"

.... queue huge display, lights, a billion apps ....

sales "your friends have them"

a "omg, this is mo better, and all my friends have them... i'll take it"

that's how it happens man, if the salesperson even acknowledges the briefly alive request for wp-whatever on some device. iphone = sale. they know this. s

[General Questions and Answers] lollipop1:
I have received this upgrade and have had nothing but trouble since installing it. I was wondering if there was a way I can put my phone back to the way it was?

Basically, since the update, the only difference in my phone that I notice is an app called "Dock" which is basically a new screen for when you are driving. I have had nothing but trouble receiving calls or texts and at worst, I have received texts 26 hours after they were sent. My work depends on my company being able to contact me at any given time which, since the update, they have had a great difficulty doing.

Is there any way I can roll back the phone to the previous software as HTC and my network company are shockingly bad at making any attempt to solve the problem?

Thanks
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr3muToS:
Hey guys,

anybody knows a stable ROM, which Supports the SIM Contacts on a T-mobile Sim?

i tried new MIUI and the new CM.. both cant handle SIM Contacts...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
What happens when you select "Import from SIM" on CM7?

I don't have any contacts on my SIM so can't test.

Is it really that important that you would choose a ROM based on this? Surely your contacts are sync'd with your gmail account and there are several apps that can export to the SIM should you decide to not buy another Android phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr3muToS:
Hey,

on MIUI and CW7, it always told you , there arent any contacts on you SIM.. but they r! i google for 2 days now and see that much ppl got this problem...

if i wanna sync mc contacts from sim with googlemail i need to flash back on a RUU completely and thats what i dont want.. i spend 3 hours yesterday in debranding, rooting and stuff..

my problem is, iam chaning the phone sometimes, so i got a organised Sim Contact list, and if i start the phone, i want that my sim contacts can be used...

i remember leedroid 2.3.x workd with the SIm perfectly... but i want to try another rom :-/
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Best advice then would be to either find an App in the Market that can do this for you or install LeeDroid, do the import to Gmail then go back to what ever ROM you liked the most.

Best of everything then.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr3muToS:
yeah the problem is...no app is working, cuz i cant find your sim, or cant find contacts on it...

then i think i have to go back to a RUU sync with google , install a custom rom again and import it
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
You said LeeDroid worked so why not try that first? easier than using an RUU (IMO).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pr3muToS:
i dunno if i made something worng.. but on leedroid my touch was defect after some bugging.. now i got my new DHD since yesterday.. so i dont rly want to use this rom again...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Wouldn't have been the ROM.

Then ok, use what ever you have to to get your SIM contacts sync'd to Google account (if too many to do manually although even after importing SIM contacts you'll probably have to go through them to tidy them up) and maybe get T-Mobile to send you a new SIM as they can get a bit screwy after a while (which could be another issue).
