1) flashing a 2.22 radio via recovery if you have a 3.22 or 1.33 radio via recovery *will* brick your phone

2) flashing the 1.33.0013d spl with a 1.22 radio via recovery *will* brick your phone

through recovery i verify that i have Build : Ra-Dream-v1.7.0.

Siri is VLINGO

Guys, if you check out the videos, you'll see SIRI IS VLINGO. Maybe a newer version, but it's still vlingo.

I could not resist to urge the laugh when I saw that Apple is actually not innovating this time, but copying and lagging behind at least 6 months.

The whole design, look and feel of the application is exactly that of "Voice Talk" on my Samsung Galaxy S II. Which is actually made by Vlingo.

It seems like apple's momentum is slowing down.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4rkb1t:
Siri is faaaaaaaar far away from Vlingo.

Vlingo is a voice parser "do that", "update facebook", "send to XXXX subject YYYY text ZZZZZZ"

Siri is gramaticaly far away from this. It is suposed that if you say "Siri, send a mail to XXXXX with this: blablalballblalbalbla" and siri will ask you for the subject, if you dont want it, you will be able to say "no, withouth subject" or "send it, i don't care". And siri will do it.

As I said it is suposed to work like this Siri.

For example, I installed Vlingo, I asked for the weather in Barcelona (Spain), and it said me "no coincidence".

On siri you can ask for the weather, if this afternoon are going to rain... and siri will UNDERSTAND you ( understand != parse ) and will give you the same answer... because at the end, you want to know the same: weather.

I love android as much as I can.... but if siri works as it's suposed to work and as Apple said... there isn't anything on android that works like that (yet).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
Nope. If you start using Google Voice Search and you have infact enabled something idk the exact sentence but its a personalized voice. Everytime you tell it to search something, it learns your vocabulary, how you talk. Thats basically what Vlingo does too. If you download vlingo and then start telling it to do ****, its not going to work, you have to talk carefully the first few times.

I just tried vlingo, i said "Weather in Frisco, Texas" and it brought up google and showed me the weather.

Sure its not as UIcandy as Siri, but it does what it does. Siri is AI, i know that and i know that vlingo isn't. but think about it. Vlingo is ONE app, vs a thousand in the voice market. Siri was a COMPANY. BOUGHT by apple and refined.

If Google took time to actually do crap like this, it wouldn't take long at all. Their Google Voice search is only a step behind because Siri understands when you talk in a accent etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpmccormick:
Still not the same. Google's speaker icon works great for what it is, and Vlingo goes a step further, but Siri goes way beyond Vlingo.

If you tell Siri: "Remind me to call home when I leave work." It will (supposedly). It will know when you left work by your location changing, and it will wake up and say "Remember to call home, would you like me to connect you now?" or something like that (supposedly).

There is no app that does anything like that (I just tried a bunch).

As far as I can tell from searching/trying apps, there is no app that will even let you set an alarm or add an event to your Google Calendar using only your voice.

Now my guess is, it's not going to work in the real world as well as it does in those Apple Ads. I expect tons of tech news saying it sucks. If it does work as good as they promise though, I hope we get it soon. If not, I might actually consider jumping ship to an iPhone in a year or too (naw, just kidding... it is an awesome feature I would use all the time though, if it really works like the ads).

Voice Engine For Android

Actually SpeakToIt allows you to add entries into your calendar by voice, text, email, update Twitter and Facebook, call people and answer any question just by you asking/ordering it to.

I added IVONA on top of SpeakToIt and the voice is really natural and warm.

I also tried EVA and Voice Actions but SpeakToIt is the best...IMHO.

Someone already stated, if Google wanted to make a superior voice engine, it could do so very easily. The basics are there with Google Voice Search which is just PHENOMENAL for learning your speech traits.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj1337:
The app Voice Actions, not by Google, is the same, if not better than Siri.

Try it out, search voice actions on the market (it has an infinite sign at the end).

It interact with you too. A bit slow, and needs polishing but very good indeed. Does everything like open apps, create calendar reminders, sets alarm, turens on Eigil and gps and bluetooth, and much more.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faisalplex:
Try Speaktoit, it works exactly like Siri.

It's even better than Siri, can do more stuffs.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuroneko007:
OK, I'll admit I haven't used Siri, just seen demos and various tech articles on the net. But then again, I'm guessing that 99% of people replying in this thread haven't used Siri either.

I'm currently using SpeakToIt Assistant, which is not bad.

On the other hand, when I see comments like

then I have to be a little skeptical. Even if Siri doesn't work quite as well as it does in Apple publicity material, there are several things that it does a lot better than SpeakToIt (which as far as I can tell is currently the best solution for Android)

1) It can set an alarm (no, SpeakToIt cannot yet do this, even if other softwares can)

2) After the first action (eg "Email Bill subject Hello message What's up Bill?"), you still have to press the "send" button yourself. With Siri you can do this by voice.

3) Context-sensitive confirmations: eg "Call Bill at work"; if the assistant doesn't understand, and asks you "Would you like to call Bill - Home or Bill - Work", and you say "Work", it won't understand. You need to repeat "Call Bill at work". Siri understands this.

4) Calendar scheduling: Quite impressive with Siri is that if you try and schedule a calendar appointment that clashes with another, Siri will warn you of this. SpeakToIt has no such capability (if you check their developer forum, the dev does not even realise/consider this to be a problem)

Don't get me wrong, SpeakToIt is not a bad start, and it is still just a beta. But then, so is Siri. I just wouldn't try entering into a competition with one of your iPhone4S-toting friends into whose voice control system is better, because you will lose.

DISCLAIMER: I am a 100% Android fanboi who will NEVER buy an Apple product. It just makes me a little sad when Apple comes out with something better than we have, and I really hope that Android catches up/comes out with something that kicks Apple's butt on this front soon. I just don't think it is quite there yet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmegalodon:
If you're really interested you should check "Eva." Someone mentioned this, and from what I can tell seems to offer similar features. I'm not entirely up to speed on what Siri does (in total) but "Eva" seems to offer some similar abilities.

There is even "Evan," so if you don't want an annoying robotic female voice you can get an annoying male robotic voice.

edit: I guess it is called "Eva intern."

Too bad Eva(n) is just in english. I can talk and understand english pretty fine, but I need to control my device in my native language :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuroneko007:
I tried EVA (Intern) on my HTC Desire (CM 7.1, OC 1.2Ghz) and found it quite laggy. Often it asked for "more time" to work on speech parsing before responding. That's fine, probably just my old hardware :o

On the other hand, comparing with Siri and SpeakToIt, I found it quite lacking. It did have better integration with the calendar than Speaktoit (able to look up schedules for whenever you like), and also some good features like shake-to-wake and the fact that it doesn't pop up a dialog every time it is listening for you to speak. However, it is not even remotely capable of conversation/interaction (even asking "what is your name" made it try a TrueKnowledge search), which makes it a lot less fun to use.

No matter how many times I asked it to play a song (and it responded with "playing"!), it never managed to open the music player.

My wife is stored in my contacts under her full name, but the nickname field is "wife". With SpeakToIt (and Siri), I can say "call my wife", but EVA searches for a contact called "my wife", and throws a "does not exist" error, so I have to use un-natural language and say "call wife".

My wife has 2 stored email addresses, Gmail and carrier mail (stored as "Gmail" and "mobile"). If I say "email wife" it always uses the carrier mail address. If I say "email wife gmail", it either doesn't understand me, or sends an email to the wife's carrier mail address with the message "gmail".

[Edit: If you were wondering, my wife is Japanese so no English-language based speech recognition can recognise her name, hence I have to use the nickname "wife" to get it to work]

Again, the app has really great potential. However, its lack of natural language interaction and other limitations lead me to say that is still far from a polished end product.

Uninstalled for now, back to SpeakToIt. But I'm starting to get interested in developing my own app to do this, as I'm not satisfied with any of the solutions out there.

You guys don't understand what Siri is. Siri is Artificial Intelligence and it was developed by Darpa. How Apple managed to buy it is beyond me. Those other alternatives use Voice Recognition. These are two completely different things.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuroneko007:
I think you're really overestimating Siri there. It's just a well-polished text analysis algorithm. With a little more work, these Android solutions will easily be as good. The main difference - which is largely irrelevant to users outside the US - is that because Siri has Apple behind it, they can partner with many websites to offer tie-in services, whereas the Android apps are independent and need to do everything by themselves.

Earlier this evening, my phone was working fine.

Just installed a new lockscreen theme, everything was fine.

[Running 1.9.16]

Well, I noticed that it started to become very laggy. Things that were lagging started force-closing.

Themes, Messaging, Launcher7. None of these things ever lagged and I've had the ROM installed since the 16th. With no problems.

I don't know why all of a sudden it's started to mess up.

Well, now it's becoming a much worse problem.

First of all, I can't even power off, reboot or anything. I hold the power button down, nothing pops up, I release it and it just turns the screen off.

I wake the phone and I'm not even prompted with a lockscreen. It's just, where I left off.

I do a few battery-pulls and when it loads up, the same problems persist.

I can't do anything. Literally.

Well, I'm finally able to mount my SD card to my computer. All my files and such are still there.

I download 1.9.30 for the Fascinate and put it on my card, load the card up and battery-pull (since that's the only way I can get into recovery, powering it back on with volume and power buttons), wipe my cache, dalvik cache, etc.

Install zip from SDcard, choose the zip, apply and it sits there for a second and reboots, but it reboots to the 1.9.16 that I had installed already...and the problems continue.

What do I need to do? This sucks.

Also, I did manage to backup everything; Settings, contacts, mms, my apps, etc.
