How to set alarm with voice search? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Anyone know how to get voice search to set an alarm? Like I hold down search and say set alarm for X? It says I don't have the correct program installed..
Alternatively, anyone know which app works with this?

Ask Siri to do it?

Thanks, but no. If you watch the Google voice search videos they show this being done.
Oh and kick rocks.

the stock gingerbread clock works for this. You should be able to pull one from another phone or ROM. And at least some of the alarm clock apps in the market do the same; I believe Alarm Klock is one of them.
It's handy but I like the timer function of the Samsung clock enough to give up the voice commands for now.

Download market version of vlingo its way better than native voice search

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Found one that works. Sucks that I have to manually confirm the alarm.

Works good using Speaktoit Assistant just tried it after reading post, told her to set alarm for 6:00 p.m. she replied setting alarm for 6:00 p.m. went into the clock app and there's a caption above alarm saying set by assistant. If you try Speaktoit I would also recommended Ivona for a speach engine. All are free in market.

[Q] Alarm clock?

is there a better alarm clock than the stock one? one with more options and tones and such?
Options such as what? Any alarm tones/sounds (although there is a file size limit on stock rom) can be added/selected by the user.

the pre-alarm is so awesome.....
I like g-alarm, but it is paid. It was the only good custom alarm app for Win 6.5 and I stuck with it when I switched.
If you are really bad about hitting the snooze a lot without thinking about it you can set up puzzles and math problems to solve before the alarm will shut off.

Google Desk Clock FTW!
Best clock out there....
Just push the apk file to your system/app folder...

+1. Always works, and hasn't failed me.
I also set it up so I'm forced to solve math problems in order to snooze it. It ALMOST helps me get up on time.

I don't have a problem with the stock alarm in general but is there one where I can tap to snooze? When my alarm goes off at 6am it is sometimes difficult to differentiate between snooze and off on stock.

As for snooze, this clock has a great one ....

Pull down Notification Menu

Hi guys
Question: Does anyone know of an app, that can also give us Android users the kind of functionality on the Iphone 5 pull down? (See Screenshot)
I would like to see my mails listed, maybe the first 2 or so, with sms, weather etc?
I have looked, maybe this is a nice dev opp?
There are apps you use to get like this, but one single app, i think we still dont have...

yeah, sorry. I saw that. Perhaps should have mentioned it.
I'm on stock 2.3.4. and it said it wouldn't work.
so thanks for re-using the search function for me.
Don't get me wrong but the notification/widget implementation on iOS is not pretty efficient in my opinion.
I'd hate to be constantly pulling down just so see what's up with the weather or whatever.
I rather have my widgets on the unlock screen or desktop as Android does.
Cheers!

[Q] video app with similar stock features?

I want to put an AOKP rom on my phone but there are a few little things I like about the stock Samsung Android apps. For one I like the smart alarms on the Samsung clock app but I've got that covered. I also like the video app that gives you a button to rotate the screen even if you have auto rotate off which I usually do. Is there an app that anyone knows of on the marketplace that can do this like stock?

Yeah I noticed it after I posted it but figured it would pretty much be the same for either phone considering it's an app alternative so I didn't bother switching it over lol.

Tectile profile widget

Is there an app/widget (for root or stock) that can activate the profiles created in samsung tectile app? I don't want to have to have another tectile just to return to a normal profile, would be fine doing it from a widget. Currently I go through the app to return to a normal, kind of a pita...

I don't know about an app to trigger a tectile, but you could use Tasker to change what you want.
Steep learning curve, but incredibly powerful.

I don't know why but I read the title as "testicle." What the hell is tectile? I've never heard of it.
Edit: Ah, nvm. I did a quick google. Believe it or not I've had 3 different devices with NFC and have never even used it once.
I'll give Tasker a try. I am alright with learning curves. It looks like I can create a "normal" profile and just activate that through a widget. Thanks for the response.

NFC task launcher can set the NFC tags to have 2 tasks, I. El. One to mute sound, then tap again to turn sound back on.

Use voice to text without data/wifi

I'm not sure what i did because it was over a year ago, but I was able to use voice to text from clicking the speaker button in my keyboard. On any app anytime without Wi-Fi and with data off. Does anyone know where I got that ability? Gtalk enabler? Offline vtt? Idk I'm sure it was a zip or apk but I can't remember what. Google search had no results. I was using task650 4.1.2 unicorn JB rom

Look under the Language & Input settings in System settings: you have to enable Google Voice typing, then it will work.
Lol. I just noticed it was preinstalled just didn't know how to activate it. Thanks
