[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Hi folks, thanks so much for all the feedback - digested it all - snipped for the sake of concise reading of the reply!

Great! It would be cool to have some more videos floating around of what utter! and other apps combined can do.

You're very kind, thank you :good:

1) It's still on my list to fix - I contacted the dev who created the UI design I'm using, but after saying he'd take a look to see if it could be done, I've not heard back from him. Spent hours on it :( If I can't solve, I'm wondering whether it's best to take it out for now. notifydatasetchanged() doesn't work unfortunately, due to reasons I won't bore you with! But +1 on knowing that it should!

2) hmmm... the export itself should take milliseconds, so I hadn't considered any UI necessary. I'll look back over my code - if you're watching logcat when you do it, is there any error or warning in the output?

Thanks, I hope to keep it less than that, but still a total unknown for me. Will see what happens once there are a few more downloads and the general feedback from there. Making a list of known bugs is on my list to-do over the next couple of days, so there is a link in the app.

Could you treble check the login details you entered please - It's working fine for me (although everything always does!)

Thanks for this.

1) Nope, the XML is just exporting your custom phrases and word replacements, nothing communal, as yet.

2) To clarify the cloud back-up as a few have asked - When you wipe your device, or get a new one and you login to your gmail account, you'll find that your apps and settings will be restored from the Google Servers (if you've selected this option in the settings). The cloud back-up/restore replicates and forces this feature.

In their documentation, it states that 'the request will be queued to be actioned at some time in the future'. I've no idea how long this is in production - I can force it immediately in testing...

To clarify, it's nothing to do with saving to Dropbox or Evernote - specifically the Google back-up service.

3) Damn, thanks for letting me know - If you watch the logcat when you do this, any errors or warnings?

4) I'll add both FileExpert and Astro to the list and see if I can get them included ASAP. Thanks for the tip.

I hope you're right!!

Really appreciate your time taken to provide this feedback, thank you.

1) It's possible that some users may wish to browse a directory, email a file(coming soon) etc whilst on a call and quicker to ask utter! to do this for them. I'll add an option to disable this though. You might want to look at reducing the sensitivity of shake-to-wake - details in the command list.

2) It's a really frustrating bug that can't be solved unless you force close utter! Briefly, Google Voice Search (GVS) decides when to time-out the recognition request, utter! just sits and waits for the response. Sometimes GVS gets it wrong and leaves the device hanging. Any attempts to make another request will only queue the action and do nothing else - hence all I can do is toast the warning. Working on how to elegantly kill utter! to solve this...

3) I get the 'No more room on this page' error on a few different custom launchers, but the link still does appear. This is only one way to add shortcuts from an application so there is nothing I can change... On my list is to quadruple check my code and then send some emails to the devs. I don't use widget locker, but I'm surprised that 'widgets' isn't in the list to add!? That uses a different implementation, so I was hoping it would solve the previous issue... damn...

4) If it happens again, would be great to dive to a logging app and grab the output for me.

5) utter! should never activate on its own - It could only be a very delayed speech request (timing out as detailed above), or somehow the shake/wave has activated it?

6) Read above about the tick/cross - I can't solve :(

7) That's very odd... I'll check my code. What exactly do you mean by 'activates' - does it speak the intro??

Thanks for your thoughts. I've put this on hold until the beta release and what comes of it is behind me. It's going to take a little setting up before I can open it up to users to have a play with. A couple of weeks at the most I hope.

1) I'm going to have to make the odd YouTube video - I've considered a pendulum animation to copy or vibrates/LED flashes to demonstrate the rhythm, but all to much effort. Coming soon!

2) Yes, I'm hoping when I get my new website space a wiki will be available. Until then, I reference a selection of posts on here when you press 'User Guide'

3) A plugin is in the making, for WA and voice/recognition providers and language packs. Not going to be easy to construct though, so I need a clear head to create the implementation. Want it available soon though!

4) No Bluetooth or headset support as yet. Failed in my previous attempts, but will revisit very soon.

Thanks once more for all of the above.

I'll definitely handle all of this in the app soon. Lots to consider though from what you've said! Which one exactly is number 5?

See above in bold for the Cloud explanation. Restore from cloud on device two should work... May need a little more work if it's failing...

See above in bold!

That's odd, it really shouldn't activate - was mentioned above too. Does it actually speak and then lock up the device somehow??

Thanks for your thoughts. Still uncertain about the base 'premium' price for the app. I hope that many plugins will be available around the $1 dollar mark - users can then choose whether to install just one, or all available...

That is much better!

If anyone has got it working via Bluetooth already, I'd be keen to know their set-up.

+1 to all of the above - thank you so much. Cracking on with a few of the issues reported and will have another build out very soon. Planning the beta release and video to be ready for 9am Monday morning (UK time)!
