Google voice search - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
It used to be a microphone beside the google search widget.
when i was on 2.1 Brazil firmware it was there, but now I updated the phone to Rogers generic firmware and there no sign of that mic .
just wanted to know how can I active that mic again?
thank you

Wow, lucky that you made this thread!
I have exactly the same problem after upgrading my firmware, but on the Samsung I5800 phone (I guess the apk file is the same).
Bump!

Look in your applications to see if "Voice Search" is installed. If it's not maybe that's the problem, I don't know why Rogers wouldn't allow it though??? I could try to get the .apk from my phone if you need it but I can't post this here as it's not open source. PM me!

Hahah I was searching for the same thing today. There is the older version of the app you can download in the Themes and apps section put so fr it does not work on 2.1. The app market says the voice app is for 2.2 or higher. I would love to have the voice there though. I am temporarily using Vlingo but it is kinda ****e.

Voice recognizer not present

Hi All,
Loving my Hero, got over 420 apps installed and it's still running as fast as anything!!!
This phone is truly amazing, came from the G1 and it's in a different class.
Anyway I have noticed when trying to use a few voice apps I get the message:
Voice recognizer not present
I have looked for an answer on the forums but can't seem to find one.
I'm on Modaco 2.8, has anyone else got the same issue?
I'm wondering if it is down to the rom or my phone.
I've tried re-flashing the rom but it didn't help.

I've got the same problem with my htc dream. I think there's some sort of voice library missing because I don't have the voice search functionality in my search widget either.
There's a message in de android-developers mailing list that the voice recognition has been removed from uk releases of hero/dream.
How to Fix!
Install Voice Seach (by google) in the market to fix this issue. It contains the required Voice Recognizer and should get everything working! My Microphone button even showed back up in the keyboard after installing!
The app is not available in many countries, so here you can download the lastest version (v2.1.4) http://www.mediafire.com/?r9b47dcirtt8m98 and flash it from the Recovery.
(found it at MoDaCo)

Get Skype to work?

So Skype is working on many Android phones, just not on the HD2 (or at least I havent found a way to get it to work). Couldn't find it on the market and downloading it on skype.com does not work either.
Does anyone know why? I mean if it us running on other Android phones, is there maybe a third way to get the application on the phone?
Skype works on the hd2 but they removed from skype.com
Search here or google for "skype windows mobile 6.5" and
you will find a link to the client.
Sorry forgot to mention that I also run Android on my HD2 and are looking for the android version of skype. Any ideas where I can get that from?

Yea I did, its not on the market. Who here is using Skype on the HD2 with Android and how did you get it?
I was able to download skype from the android market. Installed successfully but once you try to actually chat or call.... it force closes he app. I hope somebody figures out a work around for this
i'm with 3 and managed to get it downloaded from their portal as they are heaviliy promoting skype.. but to download it you need to be on 3 i think

That's very strange. I downloaded, installed and ran Skype from the Android market yesterday. Just did a search for 'skype' et voila.

Can some one with Samsung Vibrant please upload for me the following app

Hello all,
I am living in Israel and i own the Galaxy i9000.
I ordered the T-Mobile "Vehicle Navigation Mount" form eBay and realize its wont work perfectly with out the "Samsung Car Home" app.
Without this app, the Aux output is not working.
its seems that only Vibrant users living in the USA can download this app.
I tried every thing, Market Enabler, VPN and Of course Google search for the APK.
but nothing...
In addition i wrote to Samsung USA and they told me they can not do anything...
if someone could please download this exact version (its the only version that should work):
market.android.com/details?id=com.samsung.att.carhome&feature=search_result
(Sorry its not a hyper link, i am not allowed to..)
and upload or send me the APK I will be thankful!
Thank so much for advance!
Find the bloater app on this forum somewhere and you can download it from there
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
it does not contain the Samsung Car Home app
Well... i tried that, it does not contain the Samsung Car Home app...
I am asking agin, could someone please download it and upload the APK?
here is the link again:
market.android.com/details?id=com.samsung.att.carhome&feature=search_result
Sorry for pushing..
Thanks for advance
try looking in the 2.2 roms in the dev section. some of them include car home app.
bionix rom has it. (i think) but im pretty sure there's a few 2.2 roms that has it packaged in.
cheers

I think this is what he is looking for -

'Other Add Ons'
or,

no.. its not what i am looking for..
i am looking for "Samsung Car Home" not Google Car Home..
i am using now a Rom of Darkys that include all the Samsung apps except the Samsung Car Home...
I need this specific version of the app:
market.android.com/details?id=com.samsung.att.carhome&feature=search_result
I hear/read somewhere that some versions/roms do not support USB audio out..you have to use the headphone jack. I know it says it on the dock package but that depends on the ROM sorry..
Pretty sure this is what you're looking for.

Try Voice Actions. It's like a modified version of Google Voice Search with extra functionality, such as "order me a pizza", "news about Bill Clinton", "what's the weather like?" etc.
plenty of apps are there now like
1. voice actions (i like the most)
2. speaktoit assistant
3. andy
4. iris
5. risi
6. vlingo
7. Eva
when i try any of those it says my device can't recognize voices... any ideas? am i missing something?
Download from market Google Voice Search and a Speech Synthesis.
At Iris (I have tested only this) better set your system to English language.

i did, but for some reason it still says the same...
iris dude....
OK guys, I'm either dumb or it's really not working for me. Tried synthesis, iris, and every other crap there is and it's just not working. Any ideas or tutorial so I can start from scratch and try to set it up?
I'm using Kyorarom v0.4.0.
Hmm I don't know why it can't run...
You have some error?
For me it is working after installing Google Voice Search, and SpeechSynthesis Data Installer(you need installer, because other don't work)

[Q] Speech/Voice input

Hi,
I am using CM7.1 B^N version and i want to use speech to text service of google, which usually show up when i press the mic icon in the keyboard. now the thing is i see no mic icon in the keyboard and i dont know how to enable it and if i try to download and use iris from the market it says no voice input service found and stuff like that.
i did the search and found that i need https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch to work on my mobile but when i try to install it it says (This app is incompatible with your Motorola MB860).
Any suggestion what to do ?
EDIT: i have found why i was unable to download it cos it is the part of gapps and i have skipped or installed small version of apps and that dont have it. just extracted the apk from full version gapps and now its working just fine.
Try downloading a keyboard from the Android Market. There are many good free ones. This should solve your problem if the keyboard you download has the speech recognition key on it. If not, download other keyboards which do have it (look at the photos of the keyboards before downloading).
If this solves your problem, don't forget to leave a thanks.
