Not sure why you are having so many problems on the s2. I have an s2 with utter on and it is running fine. The shake to wake works from the lock screen so long as the phone is awake on mine.

As for not staying in memory, mine is quite happy no matter if the lock screen is on or not. I do occasionally get the "Utter has become self aware", but that is just utter refreshing itself and does not come on consistently when coming of the lock screen.

Do you have an after market lock screen on? Mine is standard. Do you have any other app that uses shake to activate it? Are you running a custom rom? Mine is stock standard on ics.

Otherwise I can only imagine that you have some other app that is interfering with utter. My friend had a water effect wallpaper with sound that screwed up the speech on his phone.

It was only when he uninstalled the wallpaper and reinstalled it with the sound effects off, that we realized that it was the culprit. (it also screwed up his headphones as it would not cut the speaker out when the headphones were plugged in. We were beginning to think that it was a hardware problem until we found the wallpaper was screwing it up.)

Did you disable Juice Defender entirely or just took Utter off the list? Did you reboot after disabling?

If you're rooted and have "profiles", is Utter in one of those and maybe being disabled?

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Completely disabled and rebooted and still doing it not rooted yet worried about bricking as I'm on 4.0.4 which can be a bit dodgy I hear :screwy:

No after market apps, custom rom or live wallpaper everything stock. Might try a factory data reset and start from scratch ;)

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Somethings to make sure you have done before labeling utter as at fault...

Make sure that you have all task killing/battery saving apps completely uninstalled.

Utter should have an icon in the notification bar to keep it in the foreground. Go into settings to see if this is set correctly.

Check out your ram and see what other apps may be hogging your ram and disable the big ones that may be unnecessary.

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Not saying Utter is at fault quite the contrary the fault lies somewhere on my phone hence the idea to reset and start from scratch. Utter worked faultlessly on my HTC Desire so must be something on the S2 but thanks for your suggestions :)

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

If you're a root user and you have issues with ram, I suggest taking a look at greenify. Pretty awesome app so far. Forces user defined apps into hibernation. And can free up ram.

I converted Google maps into a user app and forced it into hibernation. I hate that it used to run in the background. And i did this with a few of my apps. Works great so far.

I'm having an issue creating an utter! shortcut (not the settings one, but the one for it to start listening) in applications such as WidgetLocker. The shortcut is always created on the desktop rather than in the application. Is there any way around this?

Can you please elaborate. I would love to be able to use utter to execute certain functions within another app, if i am understanding you correctly. on sense i could make short cuts to "features" within an app. havnt figured it out with non sense jelly bean.

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

can you disable utters voice, simply have it click when you start it listening. basically work the way it does when your volume is off even if volume is on.
[Android Apps and Games] gloscherrybomb:
Sure, try putting some spaces or dots for the custom "yes master" thingy

Thank you, just by chance i clicked the "!" and she told me you can just click create and leave the field blank and this will get rid of all of the messages.

this should be a check box. i would not have known about it if i did not click the "!".

Is there a way to make utter open specific functions within apps? something like creating shortcuts to "specific feature"s in sense rom? or even just having a 3rd app that would do that would be nice.

You will find details if you read the user guide within the app. It shows you how to launch activities in specific apps. Please read it as it will answer a lot of basic questions.
[Android Apps and Games] gfinockio:
Is utter!'s inability to recognize any contacts a known issue? It seems I can sometimes "call" or "dial" a contact, but I can never "text" them. Not any of them. Visual results show that it is getting the name correct, but it will not find a contact to text, ever.

Known issue? I can't seem to find a clear answer in the 200+ pages of the thread...
[Android Apps and Games] usaff22:
Hello everyone! :)

Same here.

Also, for anyone who has contacts whose names are not easily recognized, you can go to Customization > Nicknames and and set contacts as "my brother" for example. It's a simple but awesome workaround that unfortunately Google Voice Search doesn't have.
[Android Apps and Games] gfinockio:
Google Voice Search recognizes all of my contacts. These are not "non-English" names - names like Brian, Rob, Greg, Mom, etc.

I set up a couple of "nicknames" in utter!, but even that didn't seem to work. I just can't text anyone, it seems.

Running it on an Nexus S, Jelly Bean ROM, using stock message app.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Are you using the correct syntax? It should be nothing more than "text Brian" for example
[Android Apps and Games] birddseedd:
I do not think the specific button i want to press is an activity.
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Then your best bet is searching the tasker forums for a script that allows you to find out exactly which button it is you're trying to push and then use tasker to execute it with another script.
[Android Apps and Games] gfinockio:
Yes - I say "Text Rob Test Message", and nothing works.

I did find that VERY occasionally it will pick up the contact if I say the full name, and pause... and then it asks me for the message. I can't use the nicknames, or say it as one statement as you can with Google Now, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

"utter!" text icon for WidgetLocker shortcut

To add to GLDavis' mentioned solution that Ben created for us, if you'd like to change the icon in WidgetLocker so that it looks more like the "Google" text, but says "utter!" instead, feel free to use this icon that I created and shared earlier in this thread. Screenshots of the icon, as well as instructions for using it, are located here. :)
[Android Apps and Games] Extreme_One:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

You can't (currently) say it as one complete phrase.

You have to say 'text Rob' an then utter! will ask you what you want to say...
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

Utter is command specific. So for example if your contact is listed as John then say "text John".... Nothing else! Utter will then prompt you for the message. If he's listed as John Doe... Then say "text John Doe". Nothing else and utter will prompt you for the message. Check the command list if something doesn't work as it's very helpful. You can also say "float command list" and it will appear on your screen. Make it a good day!
[Android Apps and Games] Iamnotacrook:
I just thought everyone should know this - I got drunk last night, went on a bar crawl etc, tried to phone a taxi and kept accidentally bringing up Utter! Eventually, I brought myself round to telling the ever so helpful voice assistant to "**** off". First off, I found it amazing that Google's TTS managed to recognize a drunken yorkshireman and to actually understand what I was saying, but also I'd warn other users against doing this - Utter! promptly uninstalled itself (I think it asked me to make sure, but I was drunk, sod it). Me and my friend sat laughing at this for about 10 minutes until a policeman came and politely ushered us off the tram tracks in town centre. Anyway, TL;DR, don't tell Utter! to **** off.

Utter Abilities

I read a post recently of a coming release of Utter! which may address the following points.

This is a personal wishlist for the app. I hope I don't step on Brandall's toes.

While some elements of my desires could be answered by a "Personal Assistant" type of app,

none of them seem to have the well-rounded and far-reaching capabilities of Utter!

Here are possibly redundant ideas and some of them may already exist in the combination of Utter! + Tasker.

Define a name for Utter!

This has been discussed.

If the ability for "always listening" is enabled, Utter! should wait until it hears a default

or user-defined phrase to activate;

"Phone, hear me", "Hello Utter", "Slave, attend your master", etc. are all valid.

Schedule Handling

"What is my schedule for today?",

"Create an appointment at 8:15 am to buy groceries at Publix.",

etc.

File Creation and Recitation

"Create a note called 'Book Ideas' and begin dictation."

The user begins to dictate their ideas and they are saved in the file specified.

"Please read the file 'Book Ideas'." The file is read aloud.

Location-based Reminders

This is iffy and loosely defined.

The easiest way is to say "I am at <insert name> now.", "Record location and label it <insert name>", etc.

One could then attach a note to this approximate area and the user will be notified when appropriate.

I'm very excited about the coming update. With all the user interaction in this forum, I read truly remarkable ideas and Brandall implements them with great skill.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
tilleyrw-features

Those are great ideas and you can utilize a couple features if you have some other apps installed-

**Create an appt....I know that there will be some improvements in the next release but no other details

**File Creation...If you use Evernote you can set it to "mark" your GPS when you make a note..then

Tell Utter "New Voice Note", it will open Evernote and you can speak your note. Evernote will record the location. When you exit, you can name the file, or it will automatically save it (I use this daily)...see the attached screenshot for my recorded messages.

*You can also say create a note...but then you have to type that in.

**Location based...Evernote would work as above, or you could just say "I've parked my car" and that will get a GPS fix. Then you say "where's my car" and Google Streets will pull it up, normally with at least the Street name for you. I don't think you could add notes though.

And, like you...we are all waiting with Baited Breath for the new release!!!
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Hello. I'm assuming you tried what I posted for you earlier?

No known issues with texts, so that leads me to believe the ROM...are you rooted? That's the only known issue we have seen is that some ROM's don't like to play nice, or are you using the stock messaging app or a 3rd party?

Also, just a few posts back someone else having an issue with contacts and it had something to do with the way they were setup on his phone...it was something like a "space" somewhere in all of his contacts that was misleading Utter. I would point somewhere along those lines and see if you have one contact that works consistently, and one that doesn't. Then look carefully how they are formatted and see if you find a difference.

That might also be your problem with Texts.

Utter is one of the greatest inventions EVER. I'd say 98% of the time it does what I want... AI holds strong at 1.05 or more (without tasker),

The 'where's my car' has always been right give or take a few feet, the wave to wake does work IF I hold my hand 2-3inches above and wave as though I am checking the reflection in a window when I think somethings outside haha... Not my cup of tea and tricky to actually get function but it does work =) as does shake which is my preferred method... Engine searches (ie Google, Bing, etc) seem to respond LESS accurate more often as far as understanding what words I say (such as it thinks kayak is hi yak) way more then regular commands (what time is it?) -which is something I'm curious about,if it is my pronunciation,Google servers,or something with utter!-... The only disappointment as to what I expected from utter! is that I am sad I can't use the features with a (D)...it's like looking at bacon but being told not to eat it,though I do look forward to those being implemented. Another downside for me is how cluttered the main menu appears. Though I appreciate the large amount of things utter can do, and understand the vast amount of settings,configuration options, tutorials, command list, etc are easier to find the way its grouped now...but It looks like a confusing and daunting task to the average end user (me) who is usually used to seeing 3 options on an app's menu 1)settings 2)theme 3)advanced settings. Other then those little things utter! has surpassed my expectations for it and I think it is a wonderfully executed idea and wholeheartedly appreciate the devs time, coding, and maintenance (Thanks!).... Only other thing I can think of is desired options that aren't really necessary like a phrase to wake (much like the app Voice control (full)),answering of questions (ex;what is the speed of light?),and jokes. Sorry it's so long winded, keep up the fantastic work =)

Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

I just found out about this because I have apparently been living in a hole. I've been using Dragon in my car and it's nice because it has a wake up command that I can just say and it starts listening. Does this have, or will it have this feature (I haven't been able to find much info about it either online or in the settings)? I like to be completely hands free in the car.

I know it would take up a lot of battery to be always listening for the wake up command, but I have it plugged in in my car and it would be a nice option to have for truly hands free. Would be even better if you could customize what it was!
[Android Apps and Games] regor99:
Forget Samsung and Apple. It's Utter releases I can't wait for!

I REALLY want only ONE upgrade...and that's in Advance Settings -> Try Again -> Handling unknown commands -> send command to Tasker.

The Tasker task would be an empty task called UTTER which is user programmable in Tasker.

The unknown command would be entered to Tasker as a %UTTER variable.

The UTTER task can then act as a hub in Tasker for all tasks.

It would mean no reprogramming for my tasks with their wildcards, if/or statements and scripts in utter, yum!

I would pay major bucks just for that one function,

Hope you're listen out there Ben....
[Android Apps and Games] bruce7373:
Re: [APP 2.3+][V3.0.2] BETA! | utter! | Your OFFLINE voice controlled personal assist

^^^^^ So, do you mean instead of creating a customized command in utter for each Tasker task you wish to run, you would only have to say any task name to utter and it would run? If so, that'd be brilliant.

[Android Apps and Games] regor99:
I actually mean if you said

"hi" or "hi how are you doing?" or "hi to you" or anything with "hi" in the sentence. (Command to %UTTER)

Then task UTTER could have just one line

Action ->misc->Say

Hi Bruce!

if %UTTER=*hi*

would produce the voice reply "Hi Bruce"

The * is a wildcard in tasker so if "hi" is in the sentence you will always get the same response of "Hi Bruce!". Very powerful as now you don't have to get the exact phrase right to get utter to do something just the "key word(s)"

The advantage of this is it only happens if Utter cannot find an answer. So it has priority.

Hope I made myself clear.

Somewhat complex request:

I have utter on my phone. I also have utter on my Android HDMI dongle. There is no microphone on the dongle. Is it possible, using tasker or anything else at my disposal, to send the commands from utter on my phone to utter on the dongle to execute?

Probably too far fetched sadly.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
If you're rooted I think you could because you can communicate with Utter using {shell} commands. Utter has the advance setting, then under that the power users and then remote control.

The scope of what you're asking though is way beyond my expertise. I'm sure it would take a significant amount of knowledge to have them talk to each other, but I see it as being possible.

"Busy" Tasker profile re-designed

Hi Guys, thanks to lncoln who posted it earlier on this thread

I got this very cool profile but the graphic part of it was a bit too small so I re-designed the Scenes to make everything bigger and brighter.

here you go:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/55065441/Busy%20V2.prj.zip
[Android Apps and Games] easiuser:
"My biggest feature request is still being able to pass arguments to Tasker commands, though. That is, when the begining of a command matches a custom command I've bound to a Tasker task, send everything leftover to the task as %par1."

This is my biggest feature request as well.

I use a work around by setting up replacement words "Tasker Process" for "Remember this". Utter will copy anything I say after "Tasker Process' into the clipboard. I then have a Tasker profile that triggers off a change in the clipboard contents and processes the first word as the task name and the rest as %par1 to the task. I can then say "Tasker process agenda for tomorrow" or "Tasker process agenda for today" and tasker call my agenda task and read my appointments for the requested day.

Only issue is Utter tells me all about saving the information to the clipboard.
[Android Apps and Games] regor99:
I get you - then you use a derivative of %CLIP - the clipboard contents to drive tasker. That's very simple but oh so clever. Brandall, can we get rid of the narrative about the clipboard and/or incorporate it into my "try again" suggestion?
