Develop Bugs

So, how'd you all like (or dislike) iris?

If you haven't heard about iris go here;
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/Gingerbread-Iris-Siri-iOS-Honeycomb,news-12968.html
So, what do you think about it? I think it's unreal that they made in in just 8 hours! Grated, it has a few problems but overall it's extremely well done. One problem that really annoyed me was that it was working fine, then about 4 hours later it would give me complete and utter crap for answers. Now it's working again, if I was to ask "How did Jhon F Kennedy die?" I would receive a full answer provided with pictures, dates, etc. Whereas before I would receive answers such as "He was bitten by a werewolf." or "He sold his soul to Yelloweyes to let Jake live."
Anyway, what's your take on this?
Please - No Apple Fanboys.
Some examples of my conversations with iris;

I tried it today. It was useless. I installed tts etc... But it just kept giving me gibberish. The market said voice search was incompatible with my I9100

Check out IVONA it's free until the 15th of november, and it sounds extremely realistic;
Demo: http://www.ivona.com/
Download: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ivona.tts
BTW the data that's needed to be downloaded is about 200mb. But it's worth it.

i like it, lol (juvenile i know, but still funny)

I think all this voice stuff is crap I'm betting it doesn't take off, it's just a gimmick. Who in real life is going to start chatting to their phone in any real social situation its unrealistic to say the least. The only thing its good for is showing off how clever your phone is, which imo is stupid.

agreed.
Just a silly gimmick that in reality doesnt actually work that well.

So..it's cleverbot with a speech synthesizer that can apparently do some fact querys?
Isn't the main point of Siri that it interacts with your phone and does stuff there?
I wouldn't call a text-to-speech cleverbot the same as siri or even remotely close..
8 hours doesn't matter in this case - it's simply programming speech-to-text and vice versa from the bot.
Actual interpretation and phone interaction is a completely different and much more difficult thing.

They've already stated that they will be adding voice interactions within the next few updates.

Was Iris even intended to be serious?

Yes. I'm not sure why you're all fobbing it off. Anyway, here's some upcoming features;
- in 2 days apparently it's going to become supersmart -
Features they will add eventually also include:
Location services
Reminders
Better commands (Such as better contact lookups, etc.)
Weather
etc. etc.

Speaker Proximity App

Just wanted to share this app for those that missed it. Works well and is very handy. Should be a stock option imo.
It’s called Speaker Proximity, and it allows your phone to automatically toggle between speaker and ear piece during a call by using your phone’s proximity sensor.
The app is not in the market, but you can pick it up through its Google Project page.
Download: http://speakerproximity.googlecode.com/files/SpeakerProximity_v.0.3.5beta.apk

Only tried on one call and seems to works good! Thanks you for posting!

I haven't tried this on a call yet but I love the concept. My only wish is that it would toggle the microphone to mute when speaker phone is on so that I could just pickup the phone if I needed to say something.
So I went digging through the code and found just where to put it. I think this may get me to try my hand at android development. I do Java for work anyway...

Sweet, would be nice if this option could be incorporated in to cyanogenmod.

Wondering if this app would conflict with my Motorola Roadster bluetooth device that sits on my cars window visor while driving... Hmmm

Great app! works great on my Galaxy S Plus. I only wish it had the option to delay the switch to speaker mode for, let's say, half a second for the case I switch the phone to the other ear. Also the conference mode doesn't seem to work for me, but that's not a big deal.

I had a patch that did this on my pre and loved it.

yeah do that, i think that would be a great addon for it. you should also look into what the guy about 2 or 3 posts down said about adding a delay to it for people just wanting to switch ears. if you try, keep us updated. i know id be very interested in trying it out.

seems interesting, will give it a go, and see how it fares.

This app rocks! Uses very little ram and is a must when needing to use the dialer for menu options during calls
"Example: press 1 for english, press 5 for blah blah" it should be in all stock roms by default with a on/off setting

Working well on my galaxy nexus, good one

Did not work for me. I tried to place a call and the speaker never came on. Also when I would call someone my phone did not even make the ringing sounds as if you are calling someone.

Y'all should really give this one a try it's out together quite well.

Any thoughts on it? I think it's awesome. Looks way better but I think they took out the function where you can skip ahead in the song

I wish it were. As far as worthwhile music apps this is the one you want though. I pay $10 a month and it's worth every penny there's also a $5 dollar one if I remember correctly.
It's free to use on pc though

Assuming you downloaded the new version of Spotify and have a G Nex, when you are playing a song just let the screen time out. It will appear on the lockscreen much like Google Music does.
If that doesn't work try clearing the data for Spotify.
The problem is when I pause a song in the lockscreen and leave for a minute it won't play again.

Oic... Sounds like Android is closing the program because it thinks it's being unused. I'll try

Yeah, the lockscreen control is iffy. No scrobble to last.fm. And pause stops all together. You have to re-enter the app to start it all over.
I'd never tried spotify before so I got the 48 hours free. And then I'll sign up for the 30 days free; however, the Rdio app has a lot more extras and functionality. And it's also recently been updated to holo theme, as well.

When I came across the review of the new Spotify revamp over on Engadget today, I couldn't help but...

The old Spotify app used to FC, freeze, and fail to successfully sync music for offline use. The revamped app has solved all these issues for me. Not to mention the app is MUCH more responsive than the old version.
If you are a Spotify user this is a must have.

But in my case, all the starred items in that playlist do not appear. Anybody else experiencing this?

The Spotify Preview works so much better than the one listen in the Play Store. I do notice some pausing while streaming. Is this happening to anyone else? It may just be my cruddy data connection in the office. Dunno though.

Does the alfa tags work via blue tooth (does it show the name of the song in car stereo, when streaming through blue tooth)?

One problem I'm having that I'd like confirmed or not is that there seems to be no way now to listen through your entire music collection as one giant playlist. I used to do this quite a lot on the old spotify and set to shuffle to jump randomly between all playlists. Don't seem to be able to do that now. Am I missing something?

Thanks so much for posting that!!! Love the service but hated the app. It was super buggy with a horrible UI and limited features. This is so much better.

My phones acting all glitchy..:(

First I noticed that my email icon says I have 205 emails, no matter what. I also noticed that my voicemail icon doesnt like to clear. All my ringtones were set back to default even my email and text. Even after resetting my email ringtone it still wont sound. My multi-window kept opening every time I hit the back button even though I had made it stay closed by pressing and holding the back button. I had to restart my phone for that to work correctly. While this was going on, my phones battery was really bad for 2 days. I didnt even use it, it was connected to wifi and the battery drained by 8 pm, with no use. Its 10:45 here right now and I have 80%, which is good. I noticed the screen flickers with white sometimes too when I hit the home key. I am getting really tired of my phone not working. There was another thing that wasnt working correctly but I forgot what it was, a restart fixed it though. Anyone else having problems? what should I do? I know it isnt much but I like my stuff to work correctly. I Am stock rooted. I am not on lk8.

No one has a response?

Factory reset it?

Sounds like something is borked from a bad download or flash. I would reset to rule out the normal issues. With all the sms and app backup programs out there you don't stand to lose much, if anything, by reflashing the rom.
Why the hesitation?
Rooting can be great but typically is to install a program (feature) or rom that didn't come stock. If you're doing this and can't afford to reset if a conflict comes up then it generally its a good idea to stay 100% stock and let sprint fix your issues [which they typically do with a reset]
If you decide to reset try sms backup, and an app backup program like titanium or app backup and restore.
Good luck!

Here's the solution for in call notifications (annoying screenshots too!)
Go to dialer -hit menu - call settings - call alerts - uncheck "alerts on call"

Since Roam Control seems to be defunct should we offer a bounty

It seems roam control is defunct (based on lack of basic response and updates), but I see no reason reason another developer could not step in and offer a viable replacement. Should we put together a bounty and hope to entice a developer to design a replacement app? I am sure their are enough sprint users that would kick in.

I agree. Anyone interested?

I am.

I wish there would be some headway on this. There's been some change in the past two days that leaves me with 0 signal in my office and, of course, it won't stay on roaming and keeps bouncing back and forth. I don't know if they're having issues at this one tower, or if they have changed the direction of the antenna, or what.

I was looking for this as well to get my phone to force roam in places I got bad service. I had the app on my EVo, and EVo 3D and got spoiled. My service sucks at work and home even with the Airrave. This is what I did and it works for me.
- download this Hidden Menu apk View attachment HiddenMenu_No_Root.apk and install it
- download this zip View attachment Modded_VZW_PRLs.zip
- Once you download the Modded Verizon Zip. Extract the files. Rename the PRL that says 00002 to Test.prl. (Feel free to try other PRL's. Just posting what works for me). Use Move or Copy (My Files stock app, Astro, or whatever you use) to put Test.Prl on root of Sd Card, (not ext card).
- Once its on the root of the SDCard storage turn off your wifi, and your data.
- click on the Hideen Menu app (apk) you downloaded and installed already
- tap launch settings> ##DATA#Menu>View>PRL Write.
- After you tap PRL Write the phone should reboot.
- After reboot Tap Menu>System Settings>About Phone>Status and you should see this below

PRL should show 2
If it does you are now roaming. If it doesnt. Then try again. It usually works if data and wifi is off. If your looking to go back to Sprint. Just update your PRL the normal way. This wouldnt be considered "on the fly" like the roaming app, (without a reboot) but its fast, close enough and does the job for ME. If this is a repeat of what everyone already knew, ignore this obviously. This is for ppl that may not know or the search button isnt working for you.... I'm using Jelly Bomb btw. I know it doesnt work on AOSP Roms. Dont know about the others.
**I'm sure everyone knows the consequences for roaming too much on Sprint. I actually had my account terminated before for the same. Which in my case worked out. They terminated the contract but not my line, phone number or account so I was able to come back as a new account. May have got lucky. Dunno & dont want to find out. I try to use it just AS NEEDED and go easy on the DATA roaming as well. I monitor my bills just to be sure.. Dont get lazy and leave it roaming all day everyday because your content with having service everywhere like I did. Take it off when in places you have Sprint service.
Hope this helps

So................ I am in the middle of building my MC2 H20 ROM and I will see about putting this in my ROM maybe as a toggle option in the dropdown, and in settings. I will see what time permits. If I finish the rom before this is complete I will focus on this.
