Hi guys,
I can't make calls by Voice Dialing with this phone.
I tried the voice dialer available in froyo, but even though the settings are offering "french", it works only with english sentences, and it requires confirmation on the screen.
Is it me or something is going wrong with that android stuff ?
thx.
You mean you can't dial someone and call them? Or that voice dialing doesn't work?

i think he means he cant call someone hands free, because voice dialer wont understand his french, and when he gets it to work in english it requires confirmation on the screen
exactly what I meant !
To answer your question - it is a phone. You can dial and make a call on it.
The issue you have is voice dialing, which isn't a feature every phone has and so isn't something the category of 'phone' comes under. The issue you've got is down to Google, even English UK isn't recognised properly...they'll sort it eventually
Here in Canada like in many other countries, it is prohibited to drive car and use a cell phone without an hands-free device, all the phones I used in the last 6-7 years were having full hands-free support .....
But not all phones have voice dialing. You'd still need to 'dial' to get a call, even though you have a hands-free kit of bluetooth headset.
It's illegal in the UK to use a phone whilst driving but I still do (if I absolutely have to, which is rare)
My previous phone, an LG8700 was doing that very well, completly hands-free with my bluettoth headset, and it was not a "smart-phone" ;-)

And you drive through red lights if "absolutely have to" ?
hi hi hi
bottom line, it does not make sense to me that a supposed "smart phone" not being able to do something "dumb phones" have been able to do for a decade !!!
Things could be simpler if there was a green "Call" button on Desire...
MrUsta:
If you want these buttons aim for WM or LG.
demercie:
Dumb phones don't have 1ghz processors so they recognize it much worser. And most of them can't connect to 3g, and none of them enhances voice detection through 3g.
And because you really need this function try finding older versions of the app and appeal on Google to fix this issue. No worries if it's not fixed in a month there's gotta be some bloody big problem.
Dany0,
To make a voice call, you need to press a button to activate the voice call. A dedicated "call" button could help here. For example, I have a trouble to initiate a voice call in a car using Parrot handsfree car kit (no proble to accept incoming calls though).

If you do , for ANY reason do that ;p the only smart thing about you is your phone ;p
Ok what i am trying to do is reactivate the dial pad so i can call out on Google voice if it is possible. I see the mobile network and data in the es explorer. But they are both blocked. i love voice on my home PC. I know my friend with an android phone can use it the same as a regular phone call just like selecting a browser or media player. i was trying to make an app that dose it. I do have root. I am not asking anybody to do it for me but some pointers would be a great help.
PS if you did do it i would love to know how as i am learning how to add permitions and other hooks. this one is eluding me!
look into groveip. There is a thread about it in the apps area.
thank you but not what i was asking
As i said i was wondering where i can do it. I have seen the groove post before. It seams like a nice app but it dose not meet one requirement. I wanted to make it so i could change it.
Even if you do get a standard Android dialer to work(not even sure if it's really in Honeycomb), you'd still need the physical hardware to be present and working(definitely not in the WiFi version and unlikely in the 3G version without lots of work), hence the need for something like GrooveIP.
again

again i want to do something similar to grove but i want control over the source so i can set it up. I want to be able to record incoming and out going calls on it. My Iphone wont let me do this and voice only dose it on incoming i want to be able to record all calls and since i broke my back at work i am long on time and short on money so thanks again for recommend of grove but it dose not do what i want it to
and i have reason for this.
i am asking if anybody knows where or how not an app.
to find the apk or how to add the service and fake it into thinking it has gsm or to reset the Dial as i believe that will be a good start

Sounds like you're just kind of making up your own thing, better get to writing your own code.
I haven't seen this mentioned but has anybody been able to use a BT headset to make, receive, and control calls? I can't. I get "this feature isn't supported on the connected phone" from my Blueant Q2. I know this was an issue with the Sensation and tried installing the voicedialer.apk but the phone won't allow it to be installed. I installed Vlingo but it crashes the phone and I have to do a reset to get it back. Thoughts? Experiences?
Update. We're apparently screwed. There's no native voice dialer included in ICS. I found one that installs but it loses its connection with the headset as soon as it starts. The folks on the Vivid forum are having the same issue. I tried the apps they discussed but they didn't work either. So I guess we wait for HTC to do something.

Yes... ish
I posted the same question a few days ago, but I got no reply, so I bought the phone anyway and tried. Vlingo sort of works with my jawbone earpiece. What I do not like at all is the fact that it does not confirm the command before dialling, or at least I did not figure out how to set it up properly, with the result of dialing the wrong contact in case of a misunderstanding.
I am really missing the simplicity of the blackberry voice dialler, amongst other things (mostly due, I guess, to my being a newbie with android). It was a no-brainer, whilst all the solutions I have seen for android are slightly more cumbersome.
Thanks to the other thread you linked I think I am going to try cyberon voice commander. I could save a couple of dollars/euros buying their voice dialler, but as far as I can see it needs training to attach voice tags to contacts. I don't like the idea of spending time to do that.
This seems like such a basic feature these days, why the hell hasn't it got it?!!!
this is very disappointing news. all the reviews i looked at mentioned voice dialing as a feature. and i just ordered a blueant q2. just tried using voice dial on my phone menu. awful.
i found a retail site online that says the blueant q2 is not compatible with the htc one x and identified several other bluetooth items (including blueant) that are. i decided to try the jawbone era and have it on order. not as many desirable (to me) features as the q2, but if it works, it will be a step up from nothing.
online site is htcpediadotcom. i don't know how reliable it is; first time i've looked at it.
I only just noticed yesterday that the phone would not send the bluetooth connection to the head unit in my car, even though it was connected to it.
I had to use the phones loudspeaker....
All of the Android phones in the past 2 years have worked fine!
Okay, so here is my one frustration so far with my otherwise nearly perfect Google Galaxy Nexus phone - the voice dialer on Bluetooth stinks. I am using a Jawbone (original) with it, and it pairs just fine. But the voice dialer seems to have a mind of it's own, and I cannot hear the prompts much of the time. Also, it appears to start only when the spirit moves it. I was tempted to try out the Jawbone Companion on the play store, but it does not support the original Jawbone.
Also, I tried out VLingo Voice Talk 2.8.2, but it FCs on me very often.
What I am looking for is functionality similar to what my WinMo HTC Touch Pro 2 had. Very easy to use - one of the few good things about Win Mo! So, how can this be fixed?
I find cyberon voice commander to be the best BT dialer. The confirmation feature works very well.
If you use BT dialing a lot or tend to toggle airplane mode BT on the GN will grey out and require a reboot once or twice a day. This is an ICS documented bug and not due to any app.

Thanks for the recommendation. I broke down and ordered a Jawbone Icon last night, and will see how Jawbone Companion works with it. It sounds though, like Voice Commander is the direction I will head. I need to make sure I will have 2 good days to test it in to make sure it does what I am looking for.
Good luck and let us know how it works out.
I was searching the 32GB + WiFi + LTE on BestBuy and Amazon but I haven't found nothing. Why?
When it will become available?

Probably because Google hasn't released it yet.
Come on, did you really need to ask that question? A simple search would have shown that it's not scheduled to be released for another few weeks, if not longer. The N73G didn't come out until a month or two after the Wi-Fi models did.

No one knows. However, if it's like the N73G, the answer is no.

Out of the box? According to this link, no.
I use the original Nexus (wifi only) as a phone though with a verizon 4g hotspot. VOIP calling over mobile broadband (4g) is just as good if not better than calls over GSM. Really I'll be surprised if VOIP calls don't become more common than PSTN in 5 or 6 years. Especially since SIP to SIP calls are free (it's really not much different than emailing someone).
Search for tutorials by acegolfer in this forum if you're interested in how to set this up.
VOIP over LTE with, for example, Google Voice plus Groove IP is the way to go. I use that nearly 100% of the time on my phone even plus you have the benefits of switching numbers on the fly (work/personal) and the management features like blocking numbers, do not disturb, etc. are great.
Every single time someone asks about whether the N7 can do voice calling, people always want to chime in with irrelevant suggestions. The question is whether it can make standard GSM calls over the carrier's network, not whether you can make VoIP calls. Of course you can do that, just like you can use Skype, Google Hangouts, etc. - but that's not the question.
That's like someone asking if it can run MS Office and responding back, sure, it can do that if you install an RDP or VNC client and connect to your desktop and launch office from your computer. Two completely different things.
As I said earlier, the N73G can NOT place carrier voice calls. There are two threads in it's respective forum where people, a year later, still think that feature is "just around the corner" - it's not. Whether or not the new N7-LTE can do that is still up in the air. But there is a big difference between using VoIP and being able to make/receive calls natively.
And as someone who works with VoIP professionally (SIP specifically) on a daily basis, I completely disagree that using a VoIP application over 3G/LTE is just as good as a standard GSM call. It's not. If all you care about is making the occasional call to a friend or family member, sure, it's a perfectly fine alternative. But if you are talking about using it as a frequently used method of making and receiving calls to replace your cell phone with - absolutely not. Especially not for business purposes. The call quality will almost certainly not be better than GSM, unless you are using a high bandwidth codec like G711. And even then you will have to deal with common issues like packet loss, jitter, high latency spikes, etc. which will likely negate any benefits. Trying to use it while moving between towers can result in dropped calls if your IP changes. Even having it in standby will cause you to lose registration and thus possibly miss inbound calls. And don't even get me started on the battery life.

You don't have to flip out. They are just trying to be helpful and there are plenty of people who don't realize what they can and can't do. Also, for work, I would much rather use BBM voice over my cdma call.
