Brandall, thanks for your responses to my weather question, alarm command request, and WA registration related question. You are correct, I am looking for a way of creating an alarm (usually to wake me up, haha) by saying a specific time, rather than a calendar entry. Looking forward to the new additions and changes as they come! :)

Btw, is there a current way of using utter! to create notes for SpringPa in addition to the current Evernote option? I used to use Evernote, but converted to SpringPad, as I like the interface better. If this isn't currently possible, then I guess this is another request, haha. I definitely understand you have a lot on your plate in the way of requests and ideas of your own, as well as life outside of Android development. So thanks again, so much!
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Whenever you find the time of course. Thank you.

Working on Catch Notes, Springpad and Spotify right now, so you're in luck! Need to get work out how a user selects their default notes application to use just with utter! if they have more than one option installed... Not quite sure how yet, but I'm sure I'll suss it! Hopefully out in the next but one release - the next release will just be tidying stuff up to get it on the Play Store.

Can't send text via Google Voice?
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Years after its release, there's still no official API.. It is on my to-do list somewhere, but I don't like using unofficial libraries, they tend to be buggy. Also, I'm in the UK, so testing would be tricky...
[Android Apps and Games] alen1901:
Brandall, in future, when you "finish" utter, would it be hard to implement croatian language so utter can recognize my language. I think that would require implementing voice engine with that language support, right?

I keep getting a fc when I try to make a custom command and it happens as I have to confirm the command!!!!

Edit: it still creates the command it just doesn't fill in the complete/ fail phrase.
[Android Apps and Games] RoboJoe:
Couldn't it just be prompted at the first time based on what's installed? That, or perhaps simpler, just make the user explicitly state which app to use: "new Springpad", "new evernote", etc.

The API isn't official? That explains why there are very few GV apps! In any event, I use GV, so I could test it, if you'd like.
[Android Apps and Games] 5m0k3:
Also, I support the car mode proposition. I know constantly listening and analyzing inputs drains the battery, just add a recommendation that the phone be plugged in while in that mode.
[Android Apps and Games] chaosbringer:
Where are you seeing all these options? In the utter app I downloaded from market I do not a lot of the things you have listed here
[Android Apps and Games] shawn13165:
The market version is a little behind the latest version posted in this thread. Brandall posted it a day or two ago

I know EVA has a voice activation mode for car mode, maybe take a look at that.
[Android Apps and Games] oaman:
good job !

keep developing :good:
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
I'm working on making the custom commands available in any language. If there's a Croatian voice engine out there, you can use that - is there?

Thanks for reporting - just dropped you a PM

Yes! Sometimes my mind really does overcomplicate things - thank you. If more than one compatible application is installed, I'll put up a 'select you default' dialog! Why didn't I think of that....?!

Thank you. I'll be looking in to this feature a few releases down the line.

Absolutely - If it's plugged in/docked then it's not a problem. I've seen an issue raised from the dev of Eva with Google, where in Jelly Bean they've started adding beeps to continuous listening - it makes that option now unusable. I'll be implementing a different method though.

Thank you - I'll start putting a link to the latest test build in my signature, to make it easier to find.

Thank you!

For back-page arrivals, the latest test build can be found here

V2.2.5.3.7A up!

Hey folks, I hope this will be the Play Store version, so not much added I’m afraid, just tidied up a little.

I’ve included a standard disclaimer and privacy policy for the application as well as a disclaimer and explanation for use of the remote access feature.

I can’t believe how wordy the suggested disclaimers get! I tried to simplify them as much as possible.

I’ve just spent the last 5 hours trying to solve a compiling bug, 7am here and totally knackered, so these release notes don’t contain their usual waffle as I need to go to sleep!

The layout has changed a little to separate customisation from the settings.

Fixed a bug with the emails not sending correctly.

If you could give it a run out and see if it’s working ok please, I’d be very grateful as always.

And I’m asleep…….

EDIT: Previous release notes can be read here

V2.2.6A up! Play Store Release

Hi folks, just a few minor fixes to the above release.

If I could please ask you to install directly from the Play Store so to use their logging feature if there's a crash.

You can get it from here

I've posted the apk below in case you can't access the Play Store for some reason.

What's coming?

My to-do list is actually getting very scary to look at! I'll be spending the next few days going back over my code to tidy things up a bit, as the app is now doing hundreds of things before it even starts to listen! I want to make sure there is virtually no delay. I'll start on new features after that.

I want to get the Tasker Plugin working as a priority - waiting on the dev coming back to me.

I want to get Wolfram Alpha integration included - waiting on their Rep coming back to me.

I want to get the community phrase database up and running - waiting on me getting my ass into gear!

If there's a feature you think is essential for the app at this stage, please do let me know - suggestions always welcome and will make the to-do list somewhere!

Finally, just wanted to thank you all again for your support to help me get to this stage. Remembering back to those hazy days of V0.0.1 and a pretty much useless application, so many of you have stuck with it up until now and I can't thank you enough for that.

If utter! makes me a millionaire, we shall all be going out and getting very drunk on me!

Over and out!

Ben

[Android Apps and Games] Extreme_One:
Tested create command - edit command

Tested custom phrases - edit custom phrases

Sometimes the confirmation phrase fails when it really shouldn't (?) Otherwise all is working really well so far.

Looking forward to intelligence provided by Wolfram ... And the community ... I have a few ideas for community phrases ...

Q. If we submit the same community phrase but a different response - Will Utter choose a random response?
[Android Apps and Games] eisenbathb:
Hey brandall about the crash log you wanted me to send... it wasn't utter causing it!
[Android Apps and Games] ironlood:
Well this app has come along so much since 0.0.1 that 0.0.1 looked like the dark ages.

Quick idea

what about creating a public file on Google drive for people to start throwing community comments around.
[Android Apps and Games] Drifternz:
OK - Now testing utter on Samsung Note 10.1. No problems so far.
[Android Apps and Games] Extreme_One:
Just a couple of ideas I had for added features. (Nothing groundbreaking I'm afraid ;) )

Sorry if these have already been mentioned.

I say "flip a coin"

Utter says: "heads or tails"

I choose one and Utter responds with the appropriate " heads you win/lose " etc.

I say "generate a random number between 1 and 20"

Utter responds ... :0

I say "roll the dice"

Utter says "Ok. The dice rolls and lands *x* up"

I say "roll a twenty-sided dice"

etc.

Btw I wanted to try the "compose an email, subject ****, body ***" as shown in the Youtube video but Utter didn't understand. Is that feature disabled? I don't use GMail but the stock email client if that's important.
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
Just say email "so and so" and it will ask what do you want to say. Then it will ask "subject". After that it will ask if you want to proof read. Say yes and it will display the message. If you say no it will send your email.
[Android Apps and Games] brandall:
Thanks for your testing - Not sure whether I should be more relaxed on matching the custom phrase, or whether this failing alerts the user that they may want to use a different keyword - as it wasn't recognised successfully twice in a row...

A. Yes, I assume there will be many answers to the same question, so a random one will be picked.

I'll cross it off the list! Thanks for letting me know.

0.0.1 was certainly a little feature lacking! :D

I'm hoping to have a website area set up soon, which will have different sections in it, so will hang on for that rather than post a doc, which could get pretty messy - or accidentally deleted!!

I like them! It's been on my list for ages to include a lottery number generator - I like the heads or tails idea too. I'll put them all on this list! Thank you!

As far as email and other commands go, I'm working on allowing the user to say as much of the content as they want on first instruction - So, 'email Joe Bloggs, how are you today' - then the response will be 'do you want to add a subject. Same for alarms and calendar entries, it's very difficult working out what could be a title, or a date format, or time or just complete rubbish sent back in the voice data! It's going to take me a while.. In the mean time, emails and texts are structured as GLDavis points out below:

V2.2.6.1A up! Play Store Release

Hey folks, just uploaded V2.2.6.1A to the Play Store. Only contains bug fixes for the errors reported. There doesn't seem to be too many, which is credit to all of you of course :good:

It seems to take a few hours before it's available as an update from the Play Store here

Would be great if you could install it directly from there so to use their logging feature if you get a crash.

I normally post the apk here too in case some users can't access the Play Store - but I assume everyone actually can?? Let me know if you can't!

Right, time for the next test build! And a coffee...

EDIT: V2.2.6.2A now uploaded - More bug fixes and enabled ads on some of the pages.
[Android Apps and Games] AlexLink89:
Hi Brandall, and gratz for your outstanding application :)

I just want to give you some ideas. I didn't read the previous 100 pages, so I don't know if someone told you that before.

1) I saw the native language and custom commands function; both works very well.

Also, I tried to set the voice in my own language (italian) and test some custom commands. Got no problem at all. So I was thinking, why don't you give us the possibility of changing the default commands? Something like the creation of custom commands: in this way everyone can set utter in the language and the way he likes:

Ex: What's the time? command ---> Edit and set "Che ora è?" in my own language.

It would be nice to edit answers too.

Another thing i thought is: is it possible to search contacts in native language? I have no idea of some names pronounce :confused:

One last thing: will you ever implement a google talk text command? For example "Talk to Herp Derp hello"

Thank you for reading and sorry for bad english :)
[Android Apps and Games] GLDavis:
I just realized that a command "redial" would be nice to have. I'm at home today due to hurricane Sandy so I have some calls to make. Redial I think would be a nice option :)

In addition there is no option to call or dial a number NOT in your contact list. ie: Call 555-222-2222 for example.
[Android Apps and Games] HunnyBearLewis:
This is one of few apps I don't mind having ads in at all - you put in so much work you deserve something for it :thumbup:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
I've only had my GN for about two weeks now, but the other day I noticed that when a bright light is reflecting off its screen, I can see hairline scratches in the surface. Never experienced this with my Nexus One, or Panache, or Milestone, or Optimus One. Is anyone else getting these too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigmike2424:
Happened to me too. I just put a cover on it. Not even noticeable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jbuck1984:
Luckily no scratches here. I keep mine naked, and never keep it around any of my keys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Yes you can only see them in sunlight at the right angle. I think its actualky just the oleophobic coating which the nexus one did not have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Okay well I grabbed a cheap $8 screen protector at a local store to prevent further damage for now. And you're right, the scratches are no longer visible. Unfortunately it's an awful protector. I thought the matte texture might be nice, but it creates this distracting effervescent effect on the screen. Also I can't seem to get the air out of the edges.

But it'll do until I order something better and it arrives. Any recommendations for protectors that look and feel good, aren't overpriced, and will ship to Canada without costing double?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjzah:
Check out Liquid Armor
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
A little apprehensive about that one. Can it even be removed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
just ignore them if they are so small that you can only see it under sunlight at certain angles. my atrix had a bunch of those after a while but i can never see them when the screen is on. sounds like you prefer the feel of the glass than a plastic screen protector anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Without a protector - they are very visible when any light, even soft indoor lighting, reflects off the surface of the screen. And in the few weeks since I got my GN, a total of about 6 prominent scratches and 4-8 other little tiny ones have appeared. I do prefer the feel of the glass but this is just ridiculous - every Android I owned before this had so much more of a resilient screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3BeersKen:
Not sure about where to buy the screen protector, but a hint in putting them on to get the bubbles out and them position correctly.

After you clean the screen ... put a fine mist of glass cleaner on the screen then apply the protector ... the liquid will allow you to slide the protector into place and then as you smooth it out, it pushes the excess liquid out the side and will generally smooth out without leaving the air bubbles.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
What kind of glass cleaner do you mean? Many are alcohol based, which I assume would affect the plastic and also fail to evaporate when trapped in between.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cpomike13:
Me 2

Mine scratched on some coin change in my pocket.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I did a good screen cleaning today in sunlight, and damn just have tons of micro scratches, all in the bottom middle where it gets constant use. No way its the glass, just the coating considering how well i treat my phone. Like crazy insane, its never been in any pocket ever, not even once.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Yeah I'd say any scratch that is hard to see under a screen protector is only on the coating - when you add the protector, the total thickness of the two "coatings" becomes more even and the optics don't favour visibility. If the scratch gets down into the glass, then you'd still see it under a protector.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] loldevil:
Hi guys!

Is there some way to make our razr read/write in another filesystem than FAT32?!

My propose is watch some 1080p movies via HDMI on my TV..

Ty!

:)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sonicfishcake:
I take it they are very large video files? Fat32 has a file size limit of 4GB I believe. The only way is to use a tool to split your video files into chunks smaller than this.

As an afterthought, have you tried formatting your microsd card in windows as NTFS and copying your film across and playing on the razr (assuming you have a card big enough)? As Android is essentially Linux it should be able to read NTFS though I don't have any files big enough to test myself.

NTFS doesn't have that limit.

Good luck!

EDIT: been looking around and if you have trouble, try Drive Mount on the Android Market. You will need to be rooted & busyboxed up if you are not already. This will allow you to read NTFS formatted SD Cards
[Motorola Droid RAZR] loldevil:
Yeah, sometimes its about 5gb files... another 12gb files..

I've got android 2.3.5, stock rom, rooted.. and NTFS, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4 are not recognize ):

The drive mount on market, is incompatible with Razr..

Thank You for response..!

Hey,

The sense 3.5s deffinatly have a lot in them which make them a lot of fun and appealing to many, their downfall is the battery drains thats why I have been sticking with stock and it will last me though the day! but for the true 3.5 lover energy knows what they are doing. I personally havent used it myself but I have heard many things and it being one of the better battery consuming roms. So just nandroid and flash away if you dont like it just restore!

i use the Energy rom with the anthrax kernel and my battery life is way better than stock. with moderate use I can get 14-15 hours and still have 35-45% left. I hear that the freedom 0.9 kernel is awesome with this rom. Some of the guys are getting 30+ hours with this rom, freedom kernel and 3500Mah battery. i use a 1750Mah battery and have a 1500Mah powerskin charging case jsut in case i get into some heavy use. the downfall with this phone is the screen size and it will always be your largest battery consumer. I forgot to mention that my results are at work where my signal is for **** and about 75% of my time is spent roaming or looking for a better signal.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHow7zer:
Ok, I've looked everywhere for a solution to this, but no one seems to have the same issue. Every time I try to download a file, no matter how large or what type, the download completes then immediately fails! I takes anywhere between 5 to 7 sessions of hitting the "retry" button for the download to complete. This is unacceptable for me when I am tethered to my limited data plan or when I am making long, time consuming downloads.

I am frustrated to the point where I want to snap my tablet in half! This is my only "computer" at the moment other than my Nexus One so you can see where my anger is coming from. I have tried all the latest updates from Krakd and Revolver (currently on revolver) but none of them have revealed any results. I even had the same issues with the stock firmware!

I'm hoping this is just a software issue as I don't want to have to return my Transformer unless I really have to.

Help me XDA! You're my only hope!

First and foremost, have you tried to download on wifi and have the same problem? I also have a 3g unlimited plan through metro and sometimes have the same issue.

Most carriers will "CAP" data and not allow you to download large files while tethered. Please reply. Also, as another poster posted, this was said to me from playfulgod, if you have an issue, always go back and wipe and reinstall, when you wipe, wipe a couple of times to make sure and reinstall.
