Where did it go? Sprint pulled the Touch from their website..... Could it be because they are updating them??????
The Touch is still there if you View All Phones. Someone goofed and made it so that the PDA/Smartphone tag doesn't show it.
Sprint goof?! no way!
Speaking of which I got a service number by email to take to a Sprint store to check on my music skipping problem. Only thing is that the problem is described as the wheel not working and locking up. How that happens after talking to the tech several minutes about mp3s skipping is beyond me. I'll be calling again next week to get the right one.
Bluetooth Voice Dialing is in the Froyo feature set.
I can't see this feature anywhere on the Desire after the 2.2 update. Anyone else?
I can't find it either...
really really annoyed about this!! when i bought the phone it was something I really needed! Was told it would be on the phone with 2.2 in a couple of months but now nothing!!! Grrrr!!!
I read somewhere that you can use the voice search do dial someone, and it actually works, but there are two problems:
1) Since the main objective of voice search is to search using google, you need to be on wireless or 3G to start using voice search, even if you don't want to use google at all. So if you don't leave your 3G active all the time, you'll have to activate it before launching voice search.
2) You can't launch voice search by pressing the action button on the bluetooth headset, so you still have to pull the phone out of the pocket to activate it and then give the command.
Those two problems pretty much makes voice search unusable as a replacement to a dedicated voice dialing dialog, because you always have to take the phone out of pocket and interact a lot with it to finally call someone. It's easier to just tap your contact's shortcut to call it.
It was in the leaked ROM that was floating around a couple of weeks ago too! My guess this will be coming in another update around the time that HTC release their car dock. Bloody gits.
in the prerelease 2.2 (LeeDroid) I am using if I press the talk button on the steering wheel it requests a voice command and then searches for whoever you said "call". But it its true that 3G MUST be activated.
Can anyone recommend a 2.2 ROM with HTC sense that has this feature? Is it a good idea for me to reflash do you think?
This was the one thing i was waiting for with the froyo release and it appears to be missing.
Im not seriously considering rooting my phone just to get this feature.
Can anybody recommend me a rom with this feature enabled?
I'm in the same boat, wasn't really bothered about rooting but now it looks like I'm going to have to!
I've emailed HTC on their support page, does anyone think I'm going to get a response?

HTC replied to me saying "we can decide what parts of the system are used and which are not".
Removing this from the release is ridiculous. It's so common now for use of hands-free kits to be compulsory, if not the only legal option.
It was my main reason to debrand and upgrade, only to find that it's been omitted.
Maybe some kind soul can manage to knock up an APK from a release where it was included (fingers crossed)
Well here's the response from HTC!
Not good really!
Hi Dave, Voice to text is only available in North America due to the limitations of the voice recognition software database that our phone uses. We are researching the possibility of expanding the coverage of the Voice-To-Text feature but we are still analyzing
the feasibility and currently have no schedule to relay this to you now. We have your contact information on our system and will contact you when we have a solution. Kind regards, Tom HTC

Don't tell me that HTC is not going to include this feature in Froyo! I bought my desire AFTER the announcement of Bluetooth voice dialing, and I thought I could wait for this to come in 2.2 update, and now they say they won't include it???? Are they crazy enough to omit one of the main features in Froyo??? What on earth are they thinking?!?!
Correct - they are NOT going to include it in Froyo 2.2
I have the official HTC version of Froyo that doesn't have it, and am rather upset as i would have rooted my phone to get this feature, but I was under the impression I didn't have to.
Now that I've updated to HTC's version not only do I still not have Bluetooth voice dialing, but I also don't have the option to root my phone anymore to get it.
Nice to see that they spent time on real things like a new android graphic, the way the lock displays and other useless but blingy stuff instead of items that were lacking that almost every other phone on the market has for granted.

If voice to text doesn't work, how does Google Voice search operate?
This is complete arse.
I thought that in the announcement Google said they were expanding it to work with different accents and languages?

I tried it a few days ago and thought it was terrible.
I've tried it and seems to work well, I've emailed the dev as well about the last comment but he said it uses the in built speech to text library so it will be as good / bad as any other android dialer
Hope that helps!

I have a sprint mogul and have been using SiriusWM6 to access Sirius. When I tried to sign on today I got a connection failure. The last time I signed on successfully was on Thursday 2/3/11.
Is anyone else having this problem and is there a way to correct this or get another program that works?
Thanks
I first noticed on 2/5/2011 that SXRadio2, which is another SiriusXM player for MinMo, does not work any longer. If you go to the Sirius.com online player, it's different than the one they've had for the past several years. I hope that someone is working on a fix or replacement app for those of us still on WinMo, since Sirius.com has a free app for ALL other devices! (Well, not all, but just Blackberry, Iphone, and Android.)
Why does the HD video call not work across carriers??? I don't understand this at all.. there's no need for Google Duo if they can just make the devices talk amongst carriers.. anybody know the specifics behind this?
I.e. I can't use the built in video call to call my gf ATT N7 from my Verizon N7

Well google duo is a google thing and the built in video chat in the dialer is a samsung thing. Even if they were to work across carriers, both phones would have to be newer samsungs. Google duo is for people with any phone manufacturer who want to video chat between each other.
Anyone with sprint having visual voicemail issues?
It seems they FINALLY released an app in the app store for unlocked models! yay!!! but it doesn't work. It hangs trying to activate like the manual apk install ones lol.
It will ONLY show in play store if you are on unlocked model and search for sprint visual voicemail. It has 0 reviews.
So I cross flashed my phone to Sprint FW as I wanted Calling Plus anyway so figure that will get me VM and ha, nope. So that one doens't do activation error it just never tells you that a voicemail came.
If you try to change any settings like advertisement options it times out talking to the server it claims.
So either me trying the new one first broke something on my account.
Activating an unlocked one broke something on the account (many times on activation they blow features away and re-add etc.)
Some other random issue.
I spent 2 hours on phone with sprint and they couldn't fix. They didn't ask about unlocked vs branded phone and I didn't really want to bring up I cross flashed and it worked in the past but who knows what it could be.
They sent a tkt in to a 3rd level I get to wait to hear back.
Anyone else having VM notification issues with sprint on locked or unlocked? Have you tried the app if you are unlocked or cross flashed and had luck?
I have an unlocked version on Sprint as well but I can't find the Visual Voicemail App in the play store. Is there any way you can link it? I can try it out and report back.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sprint.vvm
But do it from phone. On PC it says not avil in my country oddly. I also can't find it searching, it seems to only show up if your model is the unlocked one as since I flashed my phone to sprint now it doesn't show in search just my library from when I tried before flashing.
I tell you sprint is pissing me off though. VVM still not working and even flashed premium caller ID doesn't work. It fails to activate. On sprint side it knows it's unlocked device still so it restricts things out still it seems.
Basically only thing I have gained is calling plus (fake VoLTE).
Hmm I can't even download through my phone over LTE. It does the same thing "not available in this country" and "Item not found" in the play store. Very weird!
I got mine through Sprint, and VVM works fine.
Would love the answer to this been waiting months. The app store says this is not compatible with my model (so plus)
