I tried a search and maybe didn't search right. Yesterday while on the phone needed to find some info on the net and could not use the internet. As soon as I hung up the Internet worked again. I am on an unlocked phone with Verizon. I am sure it is something simple but can an old guy get a little help please. Thanks.

Hey was just wondering if anyone could hook me up with voice to text search plug in.
I'm not rooted if that makes a difference. Thanks
Hey there used to be a Google Code page but I can't find it (think they took it down).
No idea whether or not you need root (I have root) but I do have the apk on my sdcard. It works for me. All I know is that it DOES require 2.1
So took it out and mirrored it and here u go. Try it out and let me know if it works for you.
Thanks!!
Hey, sorry for the late response I went on vacation and forgot to reply.
But anyways works amazing! No need for root. Thanks. Take care
Voice Search
Hi Pals,
This works fine on my htc desire. But it requires me to be connected to internet all the time. If I shutdown my internet it does not work.
Is that normal?
Yes. That is normal operation. Your voice data is sent to Google and analyzed by their servers, then sent back to you in text form.
Hi all,
Thanks for a least looking at this thread and providing feedback. So here is my situation.
1. Bought EVO 4g from a friend who bought new phone and transferred his phone number from Sprint to Verizon so the phone does not have access to Sprint's network.
2. My wife has a crappy MetroPCS phone I would like to replace with the EVO 4g.
3. I have all the software that has been talked about in many threads here: diagnosis drivers, cdma workshop, prl, and a few other things which I can't remember.
4. I have rooted the phone with S-OFF and currently running MetrogenMod 4.5
Q1: Does the phone need to be on the Sprint network in order for me to get the phone working on MetroPCS?
Q2: After reading all of the forums it sounds like the phone will magically work on MetroPCS' network, but something tells me I'm missing something?
Q3: How do I get my wife's phone number transferred over to this phone? It seems I can only transfer the current phone number that the phone has even though it is not mine.
Thanks again in advance and I apologize if these questions have been asked before, but I did not see any.

PS: Ok after reading and getting familiar with this stuff it seems there are two ways of doing this, but I rather get some expertise from someone first :
1. Easiest method. Call MetroPCS and request an ESN swap. Since I own both phones I don't foresee this as illegal and I've heard of people successfully getting this done.
2. Hardest method and possibly bricking the phone. Call Sprint and request MLS number. Then use the software that is available to get ESN from old phone and write it to the new phone. If done right, the new phone will act and connect as if it were the old phone.
To all, am I correct in the above assumptions?
You shouldn't need to call sprint for your msl..search the play store for "msl reader". It'll save you that hassle anyways. ....Did a quick search and found this guide over on af.. http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/538899-guide-metro-pcs-donor-flash.html .. I flashed to boost so thats the extent of my experience. Hope it helps.

Hi nrvlljr,
Thanks for the encouragement. Unfortunately it did not work for me. For some reason the phone is unable to log into the MetroPCS network as my old phone. One thing that confused me about the instructions was to save the nam1 and Nam2 data for my old phone because not once after that did I use this data to reprogram the new phone. All it says is to replace the ESN and meid numbers in the nvm folder and reboot.
Next I tried the MetroPCS tutorial in the developer forum to get MetroPCS working, ROM and everything without success. I'm able to connect via roaming, but not on my current phone number.
Anyways, if you or anyone here has any ideas, I would gladly appreciate it. At least the phone is not bricked, yet.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, so after more fiddling, I was able to get Data working, but no talk and text. To get data working, I had to run DFS to import the latest PRL from MetroPCS into the phone. Once I did that and rebooted the phone, 3G started to work, but still could not get Talk and Text to work.
Then I did the worst thing that I could have done, I think. I order for me to get Talk and Text working, I took the phone to a MetroPCS. Well, I let them run the phone through Houdini and now Talk and Text work, but I can't get 3G to work even though I have a plan that has Talk, Text and Data and I have reloaded the MetroPCS PRL in the phone.
Has anyone ran into this problem? Would I have to get my phone off the MetroPCS database in order for me to get 3G running again? Any help would be gladly appreciated.
Hello, I, new here..
I have literally tried everything i have read from forum to forum, post to post, from installing DIAG drivers to QPST, apn, anycut, everything i have found and cannot make my EVO to connect to the web. My sister had this phone fully working (except 4G) and now that i transferred it to my account i make calls and text but not MMS or WEB. less 3G. I am very frustrated but willing to keep on reading instructions if anyone would be able to help!!. Thank you very much and you guys are doing a very great job. miraculously i am obtaining knowledge i never even though it existed! unfortunately havent being able to solve my problem.

What kind of phone did you use for the donor flash? I had this problem with my old evo 4g. I had it donor flashed from a freeform 1. Even though I was paying for 3g the evo didnt get it. I assumed it was because my freeform didnt have 3g so the ESN being read by the network on my evo didnt require it to send 3g data. Just a guess

Well I Did manage to get my evo working, it still has some bugs... For some reason the phone goes to a sleep mode or something and when someone calls me it goes straight to voice mail, also I don't receive my text messages sometimes for 20 to 30 mins or hours after someone sends them. i can make a call & Then it seems to work right. I have had a few times where when I tried calling out it didn't seem to work either, I think it would go to there voice mail or say this call could not be completed or something. ( It doesn't do that very often)..
It Seems Like It has this problem of losing the network after I switch towers from one town to another or when I plug it in to a computer or charger but not for sure.
My internet seems to work always weather 3G or wifi though 3G sometimes is really slow untill I reboot my phone & seems to pick up for a while.
Thanks

Sounds like you might need to update your PRL. (either automatically or manually). Have you done that yet? You should update your data profile also while you're at it.
pm me if you need more

I having a similar problem with my phone, my phone does show 3g icon however I m only getting 130kbps. I been reading all over the internet until I found this post that shows that AAA key is phone specific and if not configure phone get stuck on 1x. I think that I might have changed this value by mistake, not sure, question is where can I find out the correct value for my Evo? Phone is flashed to carrrier in Dominican Republic, voice works fine. Carrier will not provide much help. Also if any one can advice of correct data configuration for this phone, what type of credentials I need, just to double check data configuration, as I stated carrier customer service will not provide much help. I am using DFS tool to update PRL, etc. Really appreciate any help on this!!!!

Well one solution would be to swap handsets on your account with your carrier to a phone that you'll be able to read all the required info from. Then read and save. Then write the correct info onto your Evo and switch handsets back. The downside to this is it requires you to have another phone... But it will work.
Hi first off let me start out by saying I am a big newb to this kind of thing the most I have ever done is root a couple of phones and installed a couple of roms a long time ago. I didn't intend on buying my opt g but I was on Craigslist and saw it at a steal of a price so I picked it up. The phone was already previously flashed to cricket (that's what I have) it was on the sprint network before. I activated it when I got home but my data does not work I read up on line and by the looks of it I think there is a fix for this I haven't tested Mms but I will put my money on saying it doesn't work either. Can someone help me get pointed in the right direction to where I can find a tutorial or guide on how to get my data working. I found some stuff but it's for other phones and I didn't really understand the directions and the stuff I found was from 2010 so I'm thinking that's old info. In advance thank you everyone also I don't know if it matters or not but on my cricket plan I have 3g so that's what I am trying to get to work on phone

I think you just need to change the APN's.
Go to Settings->More...->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names and select the relevant APN if it is there.
If not, you'll need to find the details for your provider (Google "Cricket APN") and add them to the device (don't forget to save).
Hello!
I bought a refurbished Tab S from Amazon. Got it this past weekend, logged in and set it up and it runs great over Wi-Fi. However, I'm getting an error while it's trying to activate the tablet and it fails every time I ask it to check for an update to the OS (it's on 4.X right now).
I found a post saying you do down volume once, up twice, etc... but that doesn't seem to do it. Unless I'm doing it wrong? I unlock the tablet, am at the home screen and then try it.
Thank you!
it will not update if it's not on the verizon network and it probably won't activate without a sim in it.
if it's working, don' worry bout it.
Have you tried kies/smart switch?
If someone here can catch the ota and upload it you could flash it with odin.
