I've tried Iris and Speaktoit Assistant. They need work but its a good start.
I want to add that voice recognition and AI are two completely different things. I'm referring to AI specific type apps.

Its far from good.
You are right. I just found a better one called Speaktoit Assistant. This one is way better.

Check out Jeannie and the paid version Voice Command Plus....on the Market. I asked "how many miles to the moon?" And got answer with source. Voice Command Plus is great. Paid the 3 bucks because free "Jeannie "version is good

I tried it and it seemed like it was just using canned responses and wasn't actually doing anything. Just seems like a scam to me.
What's the best AI app?
Iris is a good start but keep in mind its alpha so still has a lot of work needed.

when running this app it asks for either "Pico TTS" or "Samsung TTS," does anyone know what the difference is and which is a better choice?

Just different voices is all. Samsung (I think) sounds better.
Now onto a recommendation -
We Android users knew that the Apple people were going to show off Siri for a while, what the iPhone people may not know is how utterly useless all those voice recognition/AI apps are. Android has had these things for so long and they are only a novelty. Show off to your friends, use once or twice, move on and start typing everything you need.
No need to find better because it is going to just be a waste. Laugh at what the iPhone users show you, tell them it's cute, and then ask them to come back in two weeks and let you know how often they have actually used it.
Open Siri, hit microphone, "Do I need an umbrella in NY?" - How stupid is that?
Hold my search button, "Weather NY." - Easier and makes more sense.
Neither matters.

Oh ok thanks, will try out samsung tts next then, cuz I chose the 1st one listed, Pico tts...as for your statement, I completely agree 100%, to be honest I haven't seen Siri in action, apart from the videos, but even in those clips it doesn't seem very AI to me, just another Voice Recognition app/service...lmao "Do I need an umbrella in NY?" true dat, why the hell would I ever use that question towards my phone!
Do I need an umbrella?

Siri was I believe developed by Darpa. It was purchased by Apple for its intelligent AI. Siri is AI and its very intelligent. You guys should play with a 4S.

Please don't say it's AI. It's far from AI. It's voice recognition and control that's deeply integrated within a limited operating system. To say it's intelligent is not fully understanding the definition of intelligence.

Unless that thing is able to think on it's own, it is really not that intelligent.
I loaded up some of the Android apps to play with and then said to myself, when the heck will I ever use this. When I am sitting in my bedroom home alone so no one see's me having a conversation with my phone. I obviously removed all of them and kept my reliable Google Voice Search.
Google Voice Search on Android does everything I need it to minus having an actual dumb conversation with my phone. It gets me any information that I need and ask of it. Isn't that the main point of a program like this?
Why do people have to come in a thread and complain? If it doesn't interest you why even enter.
Obviously you guys haven't played with a 4S and understand that its not voice recognition.

Neither is Google voice search. Maybe we are interested in knowing what it is you like so much about Siri that you can't already do on Android. Do you enjoy asking your phone what are they wearing to bed tonight?
Is there even a name for people who enjoy talking dirty to their cell phone and get off on it?
Try Jeannie app. The paid version "Voice Actions Plus" is even better

My dad always brags to his friends that his phone (he also has the E4GT) is better than the iPhone and then when they ask him why he just tells me to explain. Of course I go on rambling about root stuff and it just goes over their head. So can anyone give me some easy tips on what to say in this scenario? What would make our phone better than the iPhone in simple terms? Of course I know the E4GT murders it for power users like us on XDA, but for the average user, it's different.
Anyways, here's what I can think of:
- 4G
- Bigger Screen
- Better camera (maybe)
- Ability to multitask
- Widgets
- Gapps and integration
- Flash (for when its needed)
- Live wallpapers
- Face unlock
What else?
Added based on responses:
- Replaceable battery
- Easier to tether
- Screen more durable when dropped (Gorilla Glass?)
- App market not as restrictive
- 3G speeds apparently better - depends on towers
Edit: For the record, I'm not insulting Apple products. Most of my family has an iPhone and it functions well. But I'm sure most of us here on developer forums can agree that Android as an OS is superior to iOS
#1 selling point:
This is not an Iphone!

Why do people on xda feel the need to convince others why their phone is better? It is just a piece of glass and plastic made by some some corporation at the hands of borderline slaves in another country. If some people find the iPhone to be more useful for themselves, good for them. Get over it.

Yeah total troll bait. You aren't gonna convert too many hipsters no matter how hard you try.
I don't mean to start an argument (nor am I expecting one since we're in the E4GT forums). I'm not even interested in "converting" anyone. I'm only looking for good responses that people can understand when they give you dirty looks for *gasp* picking this phone over the iPhone.

If it was posted in a iPhone forum then yes it might just be trolling. Here no.
Why is e4gt better?
Bigger screen

You own the device no special patented screws.
Customize everything most of the time without having to root. Were as iPhone requires jailbreak.
When dropped the screen is safer. Won't break as easily.
Apple's restrictive app market.
Up to date functions. Most of the time apple will release small improvements then call it innovation.

Not that I really want to prolong this convo. But I'm kind of interested on what you expected it to do? I'm not a huge fan of it. Its a nifty thing. But I believe the verdict is out on what it does. And it does do what it is made to do. So where did it fall short?
my best use: what is the weather in (insert location). works like a charm, and what time is it. lol.
Just thought I would be able to control my phone by voice command (ie: launch alarm, app, almost anything I do by touch) guess its cool to some just not what I was hoping for oh well one day just hope not to long already got one foot in the grave.

All missing. Really? I will donate to whoever fixes that lameness.
/Rant over
edit....sigh...typo
second screen record was supposed to be Google wallet
But....you already donated to Samsung...
All kidding aside, shoehorning this into the OS that I don't believe (please correct me if I'm wrong) has been officially released (kernel and all) yet will be an ugly endeavor.
I applaud the ROM cooks for their hard work, and agree. I've done my share of donations to the Evo3D gurus, and will continue to for the future the Note2 wizards. I really doubt we'll see these features, at least seamlessly as we'd like, prior to Samsung releasing them.
While I can honestly say I'm disappointed for the same reasons, along with the fact that inductive charging on the Sprint models has been made almost impossible. (I've recently learned you may be able to physically mod the phone)
I also must admit, over all, this is the single best smart phone I've had, the only other phone I've been this excited about was the Palm Pre when it was first released (zomg true [email protected]#)
So, /rant signed, added to, and amended with a pat on the back to Samsung for delivering an awesome phone on it's own standing even with flaws. :good:
Palm pre. I'm a die hard palm lover.
I was on treocentral and pre central most of my days.
Love the palm. Wish it. Had better hardware

Screen record will probably need to be a hack as some rumors are going around about a patent in the US vs. Europe.
Why Multi-App view is not working is unknown.
Google Wallet is dependent on Sprint allowing it, from what I hear.
Inductive charging has something to do with the outside case contacts with the internal battery contacts. the hardware my be causing this limitation although there is a rumor of a hardware hack for this going around as well.
So, I got my new phone. Yay.

Personally I like having a second phone to quickly and easily show off something cool on the new phone via video. I had a d2g that had a bad esn (I thought I could use it in Europe, but was locked out there too) and I used it a lot for that.
Also I use it when going abroad, as it will work in Europe and the states.
Also, I love using my old phones as alarm clocks. You'd be amazed how many days an old BB Curve will last with all the radios turned off. I'm guessing a Dinc2 would be good that way too.

Two questions. Could it be a GPS without a data connection?
Also, does anyone know of an app that makes your phone networked attached storage and / or plug it into a hard drive and act as an interface for NAS?

I know GPS will work without data, but if you need to pull up directions for navigation, you need to be on WiFi to download the coordinates. After that if you don't make it re-route it will work. As for the 2nd question.....idk

really on all these ideas. I still have my Eris (though the trackball still scrolls left) as an emergency backup, mp3/Pandora player for in-house and garage (anywhere WiFi reaches), and white noise machine for sleeping baby.
Sometimes wish it didn't have that trackball issue so I could use it more efficiantly, so a fully operational DInc2 laying around would be an awesome thing to have.
What did you end up getting?
Thanks for the advice. I also like the idea of an experimental unit, now that I do not rely on the device daily, I can check out the jellybean rom and try out google now

Yea, I used up all the paper in the house. It only lasts for a short while now, but it does work for a little (usually). I even replaced the trackball with a blackberry one. I was thinking about trying just caking the area around the trackball/circuit board with JB weld to prevent flex which I think is causing the intermittent contact issue caused by the location of the charging port in relation to the trackball.
Ah well, either way it is extra and it wont be the end of the workl if I destroy it!

htc/Verizon asks that you place your inc2 on end of barrel of a 12 gauge, insert 3in slug, make it rain incredible flakes. now your inc2 has been officially updated by Verizon
Like someone else mentioned, the phone could be used as a VOIP home phone. All it requires is a Google Voice account and an app called GrooveIP (there's a free version, but the $5 full-featured version is definitely worth the money in my opinion). I also take it with me when I travel, since most airports and lots of hotels offer free WiFi, which allows me to make as many phone calls as I like without running up my minutes. I've been using my Inc2 for this purpose for awhile now, and it's very nice to have. I keep the phone in a dock and also use it for streaming music when I'm home as well as for my alarm clock. Just because the phone isn't activated on a wireless plan shouldn't mean that it can't serve a purpose.
Only other piece of advice; I would steer clear of ICS/JB based Roms if using it as a VOIP phone. I had nothing but trouble with the audio settings on GrooveIP. But the stock Rom, or any GB-based Rom should work fine. I use MROM (which is CM7 based) and it works exactly as expected.
