Has anyone tried MS voice command? How was it?

The link to the trial at Handango is broken. I'd appreciate someone posting the trial if they have it.

And I AM after the trial. If you've got the full version please keep it to yourself.

Thanks.

EDIT: The link is working now. I'd still appreciate veiws though.

Does anyone here using Microsoft Voice Command ? Can somebody share a full version of it? or even post a link to where i can download crack for microsoft voice command ..i'll appreciate it a lot!
[General Topics] mindracing:
You can get a 5 day trial at handango.co.uk

It's awesome.
[General Topics] wacks:
Full version anyone?

i already have the 5 day trial for the microsoft voice command and indeed awesome ,does anyone here have a fullversion of it ? or even a cracked one? so we can enjoy the full program with out any hassle
[General Topics] mindracing:
Yes, Handango have loads of them £24.99 each.

If the software is good and does what you want then go buy it.

This site is a valuable resource and distributing illeagle s/w is a sure way to spoil it.

I have been using MS voice command for one year now. It is a great software especially the phone support. You can dial any phone number by speaking the number or any name from your contact. The problem is that if you are outside it will pick up wrong names sometimes. Another thing is the accent. The software is designed for american accent somehow.

Other than that it is a great software and perfect when driving. Another advantage is if you use your xda for listening to mp3 music files. I have hundereds of songs on a 1 GB SD card. I will speak the name of the song and it plays in WM player. You can also speak the name of the artist or the album.

I hope that helps.
[General Topics] wilesd:
MS have released a UK version of this now, although I've been using the full US version for sometime now with no problems with the voice recognition.

However the Voice dialling of phone numbers is based on US dialling codes so it doesn't recognise numbers if they are not in US format, However i Just voice dial using contact names and it works fine.

Best thing is there is no voice training necessary like Fonix ect.. and it will also control nearly every other Application via voice as well
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbhoyc:
Hi folks.

Dropped my phone yesterday and completely shattered the screen. Phone still works fine so I'm sure it's just the glass that's broke.

[/URL][/IMG]

Going to try fix it myself but was wondering if any members have had success in repairing a cracked screen.

What I want to know is is it possible to just buy and replace the glass? It does look possible going by some of the youtube tutorials but others say the only way to get a proper fix is to buy both the glass and digitizer. Thing is though I'm looking at a bill of a little over £10 for the glass or about £130 (cheapest I've seen) for both.

Anyone had success repairing only the glass and was the screen just as responsive? I've also heard it's very hard to get it perfect with air bubbles becoming an issue. Every single mobile repair shop have quoted me for both as they won't even attempt just replacing the glass so I guess it must be hard.

PS. I notice from searching that these threads can lead to a "gorilla glass shouldn't break" discussion. Really hope it can be avoided here as it usually ends up with the original question not getting answered. I do my best to look after my phone but don't like covers bulking up my phone so I take the chance. I have a screen protector on and that's it. As much as I try to be careful with my phone I have dropped it on a few occasions and it's been fine but I guess my luck ran out this time. The phone fell flat on it's screen onto mono block and I just knew this time it wasn't going to be ok when I picked it up:(

Thanks
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jobiza:
Mate, if you try to only replace the glass, you have to get rid of old glue and use new glue for the new glass, will be hard, but if you find a solution for this I might be interested too.

I have a small crack on the top corner of screen which does not come over the screen or cam, but I also would want to change my phones bezel to dark grey. It's so freaking cool! :d
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpm:
Just wondering if either of you had a case on when it happened?

I'm trying to ascertain if/which covers are a waste of time for protecting the screen.

Best of luck fixing them though.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mat9v:
I had a case of broken glass, watched a lot of videos thinking about doing it myself but in the end decided to just let someone else do it. About screen responsiveness, I have a personal feeling that it's more responsive than before, maybe there is less glue (or none at all now) than before so the glass is closer to a screen. There are no air bubbles so maybe no glue :) Personally I think it would be enough to put glue on the sides of screen just to create a seal against dirt getting between glass and display, it would also be easier in case of another broken glass :p

Here in Poland it cost me 75$ (UPS 2 way + glass + repair) and took 4 days total. I'm quite happy with the results :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FinancialWar:
? Should have used a case...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mat9v:
No case can protect you if your phone lands display down on uneven ground.....

Try dx.com

They generally sell spare parts of everything quite cheap. They do deliver free aswell (international) but waiting period could be 10 - 20 days.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crizolli:
Happened to me too.

I took it to the Samsung Repair Center and they did the assessment and told me that I could take the phone and that they'd call when they had the glass for the repair. 3 days later they called, I took the the phone there, 40 minutes later it was brand new.

They charged $80 for the service.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FinancialWar:
Op's phone landed flat....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnbhoyc:
Thanks for the replies guys. Looks like not many have actually done this.

Think I'm going to give separating the glass a chance. If I mess up the digitizer I can always just order another one anyway
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralphrmartin:
I've had a single line crack right across the screen for a couple of months now. Phone still works like there is no crack, and the cost of a repair (plus the chance of a botched repair) is too high to make me want to do it. Got a Galaxy Note 8 to replace it - but then its sim slot went faulty, so back to the Note 2 while that gets fixed under warranty.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddhard:
My honest advice is to let a pro repair your screen. On my previous phone I tried to replace the glass. Then I tried to replace glass and didgitiser. I warched the tutorials. Bought all the right tools. In the end my phone was "lost" so I got a new one on my insurance.

Save your self time money and stress. Send it to a pro.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanButton:
It ain't worth just replacing the glass, way too footery and likely to get dust/fingerprints between the display and the digitiser, if you can even get it separated without damaging the display.... I cracked the glass on mine, a Samsung service centre in the UK called Regenersis tried to rip me off and quoted for a new display + glass and a new main logic board, all to the tune of £300! There's absolutely nothing wrong with the main board and the phone works perfectly, they were just trying to make a quick buck or didn't want to do the work, figuring I was some n00b and would just say go-ahead.....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazza7111:
Wow for £300 you can buy another one and sell the cracked screen one on eBay
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockbigdave:
My Note 2 also met an unfortunate fate of glass-floor impact. I went down the cheap route after a lot of research and paid £30 for a glass, tools and 2M tape kit. It did the job, but I find that after a day or two, especially in this heatwave we're having at present in the UK the screen does start to lift a bit and the responsiveness of the screen does drop considerably. Pressing the screen down brings it back to normal however.

Also the cheap route brings about what looks like moisture under the screen. (attached) It's actually just where the glass is touching the digitiser, and only occurs in the middle of the screen. I assume this is only because the repair tape is on the outside of the digitiser so has some wiggle room. It'd probably not exist, or lift, if a LOCA glue was used or an all over repair adhesive was applied to the entire glass. Downside to both of these is future repairs are just as tricky as the initial repair, with lots of headgun/hairdryer use. Also with the adhesive I heard that it's very hard to get on without imperfections. I guess it depends on how well you can repair tech and/or how flush with cash you are at the time.

<RESOLVED> [HELP]N7100_IMEI 0049xx_SN 0000.._Service State "out of service"

Hi Guys. I got this issue after upgrading my Note II to the latest OMEGA ROM v17. After doing the upgrade I was able to use it for a couple of hours and then I realized though there is a signal I am not receiving any internet data (internet icon was gone). I restarted the phone, switch to flight mode back and forth, switch on/off data, but still no luck. I soon realized also that I am not receiving any SMS or call. I thought it was just my carrier so I called them and made a complaint like hell. They said that my line should be fine. From there I started reading for all possible reasons why I am getting this issue. I then found out that my IMEI that is showing on the phone is different on the sticker attached on the battery compartment. Serial number on the phone is 000000000. Service state is "Out of service" though it detects from which network my SIM is. I have tried to flash different custom ROMs and several stock ROMs, but with no go. Tried also different methods on restoring EFS and still no luck. Stupid me, I don't have any backup EFS file or a copy of a nand backup. I was able to get out of the factory mode, wifi and everything else are working except for not receiving any call or SMS because of the bad IMEI, SN, and the Service state "Out of service". I have read some fixes on other threads from a different android phones, but with no avail in fixing mine. I know there's a lot of thread of the same issue, but I want to create my own so I can make sure that people who got ideas on how to fix this is just referring to my "own" issue which will be easier for me to monitor the thread.
[Galaxy Note II General] red_hanks:
So I have tried the following:

- flashed different custom ROMs - no good

- flashed several stock ROMs - no good

- tried EFS Professional.exe - no good

- tried N7100_EFS_Backup_Restore_WIN - no good

- tried ARIZAPatch.apk - no good

- tried SGS tools - no good

- tried com.helroz.GSII_Repair_102.apk - no good

- tried NV-items_reader_writer.exe - I don't know how to make it work

- restored old EFS Backup - no good

- able to find an old NANDroid backup (when it was still working before), flashed it - no good

[Galaxy Note II General] red_hanks:

[Galaxy Note II General] aaleo:
move the following files in a backup folder somewhere to your internal SD card

.nv_core.bak,

.nv_core.bak.md5,

.nv_data.bak,

.nv_data.bak.md5,

nv_data.bin,

nv_data.bin.md5

moving them they will be deleted from the efs folder

Reboot.

Now you will have the generic IMEI.
[Galaxy Note II General] red_hanks:
I have tried that method but it just made my note2 switch to factory mode. Sorry to ask but have you tried that method on your own or you just copy pasted that from somewhere showing that you're willing to help but no certainty if that really works or will just mess up something?
[Galaxy Note II General] aaleo:
I did it. I did not have IMEI (0000000000) I think you can help it. The last thing that comes to mind to flash the original firmware from sammobile.com through odin.

You can restore files via adb

Just wondering, did you tried Kies Emergency restore???
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
find someone who has a SGN2 ,back up the image of efs partition 20mb , open it with a compiler on your pc, change the IMEI to same as yours on the box , recompile and restore.
[Galaxy Note II General] dazza7111:
Wow sounds complicated lol hope this don't happen to me!
[Galaxy Note II General] red_hanks:
Done with this with no luck.

Not sure how to do that, never use Kies before

Like what I have said, found an old backup of mine and it doesn't work. So it's pointless to try this.

I was sleepless (haha) trying to find solution for this. I came across this site and tried the app there. But as you can see on the image below, the button to change the IMEI is grayed out. There is not clear instructions on the site so it is kinda hard what to do in times like that. The app might be for a specific device but if it recognized the IMEI on my phone then it should be able to change it.
[Galaxy Note II General] red_hanks:
Time is important with me and I am out of time to research further. Seems like all suggested ways on how to resolve my issue were not working. I'm gonna drop by my note2 to samsung today...reverting back to original firmware..unrooting the phone...
[Galaxy Note II General] daimler1727:
I am pretty sure that this post will never have relevance to your problem, sir. I won't do any good at all... not a bit.

My point is that it would surely help a lot if you would continue posting the measures that you are continuously taking to solve your problem. In that way, other members like me, would have an idea on what to do in case we experience the same.

Thank you in advance, sir. :)
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
To use that you need to buy a Box which will cost you roughly$120.

And for backing up your EMEI partition the only reliable way to back up and restore is an application called EFS PRO I think the latest version is 19.xx, you can make a Google search.

[Galaxy Note II General] albuster:
You all gave solutions, i had same issue, and the only fix i found was this:

1.root and install triangle away

2.reset flash counter to "0"

3.open kies and do a firmware restoration (urgency firmware...)

4.with original firmware installation, go to samsung service

they will change firmware, change IMEI, and charging modul

This changes were made in 1h by samsung service here in Romania. I said too them that the problem occured after an official update, phone was connected to computer and updated with kies.

DON'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IMEI!!!

Simple solution with result - NO WARRANTY AFFECTED
[Galaxy Note II General] red_hanks:
Finally! I have my "precious" with me hahaha...

I was not able to fix it on my own and got no spare time to read a lot of post and investigate which is the best fix for this issue.

So what I did...revert back to stock/original firmware, unroot the device, with 0-samsung official-official status on download mode, Samsung service center accepted my unit for an in-warranty repair. It only took them 5mins to fix the issue. Their asking me a lot of things, what happened, what I did, Did I do something, of course I acted as if I don't know anything about flashing and messing up an Android phone (I'm a good actor, hehe). And here I am, enjoying my note II again. Too sad, I was not or we were not able to solve this issue on our own. Thanks to all that tried to help. Sorry for those who will have the same issue and will come across this thread, you may find something useful here or maybe not, all I can say is good luck to you mate :)

It's not hate, just that i've tried anything else and didn't work so the easiest way adn also the shortest way (as time) is to reset flash counter, flash official firmware, then go to samsung service center and act like you don't know nothing :D

That worked for me after tried anything for 3 days i think, after 3 days everything solved in 1 hour.

Cheers mate and listen, no one is searching forum before and no one reads and this is a fact.
[Galaxy Note II General] red_hanks:
So I went back again to the good guys from Samsung. Pretending I am a noob of course, explaining that my note 2 suddenly did not work again. They asked me what happened and I just told them that I hit auto update and that's it. They fix my note 2 and they asked if I can leave it for 30mins so they can observe it. They told me that if it happens again, then they have to replace the main board :o... hahaha. I wonder what tools (hardware and software) they are using, and they can fix it in less than 10mins?...I was thinking to invest on some hardware/software that is universally compatible on most phone that can fix most issues. JTAG? what else.

I can't settle for a stock ROM now that for more than 5years now I've been flashing ROMs since the "Windows' Mobile" days and I know how good it is to have a custom ROM.

I would really like to know the best way to fix this so I can start flashing again.

I guess I need to read a lot first and make a lot of investigation before flashing another custom ROM. That means I will be stuck with this stock ROM until I can find the best fix for this IMEI 0049xx_SN 0000.._Service State "out of service" issue...or maybe switch to a different brand?
[Galaxy Note II General] red_hanks:
I know there are lot of threads out there pointing you in the right direction on how to unroot your note2 making the status to no-Samsung Official-Official. But let me just indicate here what I did just to make it much easier for those who got no luck in fixing the same issue that I got.

1. While the note 2 is rooted, install Triangle Away.

2. Some custom kernels will make the flash count to 1 even you use Triangle Away (I always use RedPill Kernel) so to fix this flash the Adam kernel. There's a Odin and CWM version.

3. Run triangle away and reset the flash counter.

4. Go to download mode and flash a Stock Firmware.

5. Go to stock recovery and wipe the phone.

6. Switch it on, go to Manage Applications and look for syscope and clear the data.

7. Reboot your note 2.

You can check the status by going to Download mode (press and hold "power" + "Vol Down" + "Home Key" buttons all at the same time.

This works for me!

7.

I want to share what happened to me might help you.

I was on omega v16 then upgraded to v17. My dad wanted to use the phone to check it out so I flashed stock firmware. It was the stock was mc3. I found out I kost my imei and it became 04999xxx like urs. Luckily I had a backed up efs long aho so I rooted phone restored it and reboot all went ok thank god. I reflashed omega v17 again after he tried it for some time all ok :)
[Galaxy Note II General] red_hanks:
Just to update everyone...after I got my Note II from Samsung service center, I rooted it using CF Root, so I can access the root folder. I copied the EFS folder and just to make sure the EFS folder under Factory (root/factory/EFS).

Then I tried to mess up with my Note II again. Flashed XXDME4 modem first but like what I've expected I got the same issue after flashing an ME6 based ROM.

- Copied the backup EFS folder back to root.

- Flashed back the Stock ROM

- Wiped everything

and it works again.
