That makes answering machine? What do you mean?
I take it voicemail is not good enough?
"I love my Springfield XD40"
answering machine automatic, which can record messages, send sms if this smartphone in silence, and things as well... As there are in symbian, for example
Download vlingo from market.
It will do almost everything
!
Try Iris or Vlingo/Vlingo Beta for US!
Vlingo is pretty good at answering questions, almost like Siri!
E.g. I asked who the members of The Black Eyed Peas were and Vlingo answered the right names!
Iris is better if you want almost like a virtual "person" to talk to!
hope i helped

I think he meant something that records incoming calls when you're away when he said answering machine, not an app that literally answers to him
This could work

Wow, i can't believe how many people have been looking for a simple app that answers a call and records the callers message, like voicemail BUT NOT on a remote server.
I live in a rural area and i have no reception at my home, so when i get home from work I can't even check my voicemail, not to mention all the people out there who have to pay for a voicemail service.

I am also looking for a phone answering machine like you, but if I understand correctly you don't have reception at home, so how could an offline answering machine app even work?
I have reception at work but i can't always answer, like when i am driving home... at least when i get home I can check what messages were left on my phone(not server)

Ok, I get it...
I just can't understand why such a basic feature, that almost all landline phones have, is nowhere to be found for android phones!

My guess would be because 98% of developers do not live in rural area's and don't have any real issues with being connected or not.. or simply being out of touch with reality like google's background data using up extreme amount$ of data time on peoples phones...

I thought of that, but the fact is, most users don't live in the USA where, it would seem, voicemail is free or included in all plans and data is cheap (for checking voicemail stored with online services)...
So what's the hangup? Is it for some obscure legal reason? Sometimes I wonder if it's not deliberate, to push us all into the cloud and take away the last controls we still have on personal data...

I did read a short thread somewhere that said perhaps it was a firmware issue but there were no real details so i never took it seriously.
As for data being cheap.. well here in Canada they figured out that they can charge extra for data and that is the direction it is going in.. for example, last year I had unlimited internet $45/mth, this year, same and only company available to me $45 15gb/daytime/mth and 40gb/night/mth... and for phones they talk in mb LOL

why androids dont have a basic feature called answering machine
back way in the burst age of symbian the answering machines were so popular and were easy to use bcoz the symbian platform has an option called line 1 and line 2, in which during the call the voice intercoms with the recieved call from line 1, answers it and leaves the voice message from line 2. this option was crossed out in the android platform due to some synical reasons where a lot of myths says that this option has created bandwidth vulnerabilites on the source code & for which it was avoided. so unless the source is added with a bit of spicy line option i think the answering machine with a auto voice message would b an imagination.
try this app
https play google com store apps details id ru yukhlin answeringmachine
You can take incoming phone call, record voice messages, enter tone dialing and answer voice or beeps in according to a self made script program.

So, i just came across this where the protocol of siri has been cracked and can now be ported to the original ipad + Android devices.
Looks like this can be done by an experienced developer, so posting it here.
Hope some genius can come out with some good results for all of us, and make his money too
http://applidium.com/en/news/cracking_siri/
hoping for this too
hmm.... i just found out that siri user apple server for 'her' artificial intelegence.
i though it was on iPhone 4, so 3gs can't taste siri.
anyway, this is great effort.
i really can't imagine android use apple server for using siri xD

Why would anyone port siri for android? Ever heard of google search? Come built in with android os since android came out to the market. Use the voice action of the app and it will do the same thing that siri does.. without the sarcastic answers that apple thought will save the craphone. Siri is just apple's varsion of google's google search. But if you are looking to ask her to marry you or find you a spot to dump a body, you should look out and see that there is life beyond sitting infront of the computer and hoping it will answer.

Well siri seems better at recognising voice commands... I used Iris which uses the wolframalpha database just like siri, and the only problem seems to be with the google voice recogniser api (probably cause i'm not american and it's not optimised for anyone but)... would be nice if it could recognise perfectly atleast but i guess that's google's work to do....

I know what you mean. I am not american either, and some times the system does not understand me unless i talk really slow like some kind of an analphabet in english class. Also, if you want it to call a persone or a number, you have to say dial. If you say call, it searches the web.. stupid.

As much of a gimmick as Siri is, Apple has managed to get itself a lot of attention. I guess it does not hurt that the media seems to ignore most smartphone technology until it is on the iPhone.

Deviation from topic???? that too from a MOD????
Actually google's voice search api is pretty good.. only not so much at recognising other accents.. which isnt really google's fault really... I mean there's no accent that u can TRULY call 'Indian" for instance... based on the latitude, I can see around 5 accents quite different from each other really....
American users: does it work well for you? I mean does google voice search generally transcribe voice to words correctly???

Well it works pretty well most of the time, however I do sometimes have to intentionally mispronounce some words, names for instance, and then sometimes the thing is totally in left field; still it is pretty good most of the time. I used voice dial in front of one of my many iPhone toting friends recently, and his jaw dropped...( and voice dial isn't exactly new...)

GV works 80% of the time for me as well and I have a 'midwestern' accent, or no accent. Sometimes the results are just weird
What really pisses me off is that I can't get it to understand "Mimi's Cafe" for the life of me, it interprets it as "Nini's Cafe".
Why it's trained to come up with a single restaurant close to Google HQ instead of the name of a decent sized chain restaurant is just too Bay Area centric.

Hmmm for me it's actually pretty terrible actually.. I tried English (Generic) and English(India) accents in GV settings.. and in both cases it generally doesnt recognise a word i say... it is quite entertaining at first but annoying eventually... I remember saying "Forum Mall" (like..."fohrummma mawla") and the best it got is "Form One"
So actually if Siri's voice recognition is better... and Apple does NOT mind (and they WILL mind) we could probably use only siri's VR engine.. (I say "probably" cause i'm not a dev.. just an enthusiast)

You are still right abt apple though
There is an app in the market and I'm sorry I can't remember the name but i downloaded it a while ago a.d it did most of what siri does. You could ask it random things and it would answer it would also preform actions on the phone just by speaking. But in talking to it I pissed it off then he wouldn't talk to me for 5 minutes. So my response was uninstalling it
Was it called iris?

As mentioned above, I've really had good experiences with google's own voice recognition stuff.
So after much thought about the issues we face from poor customer support at both verizon and moto and thinking of other instances in which the individual customer's voices fall on deaf ears... It comes to my thought, 'why don't we the customers, not just dx2, but all moto customers on xda that are tired, fed up and sick of all the ignorance up there rise up!' Not that we could actually go to the offices of moto and verizon. (though if people have the time, location, and desire go for it) But similar to bus boycotts of years past, or sit-ins at restaurants. What if we were to pass the word around, and then on a specific date, say the 16th of May, we all do whatever we can to talk to moto and verizon, ie: call customer service any moment we have, chat online when we're not to busy, email anyone we know there as often as we can. Just to talk about unlocking the bootloaders. Maybe after a day of taking all our complaints and seeing the numbers we actually represent, not to mention how this will bog down their infrastructure... Maybe they will hear us... After all there's nothing illegal about it and it has been proven an effective means to an end.

Lemme list a set of issues I have told reps so far:
1. Music stutters like a ***** (Rephrase! Don't say ***** to the rep, especially if it is a lady! )
2. Battery bug
3. Many times the screen does NOT turn on after hanging up from a call. It isn't the case that the phone is turned off, I still here notifications for texts and emails. The screen doesn't wish to turn on. (I noticed this on CM7, so may be a CM7 issue, but still worth mentioning).
4. Screen automatically clicks icons even if I don't do anything. (Happened few times on CM7, but I think I observed this on stock as well.)
5. Lags like a ***** sometimes (rephrase!!!) So much so that it feels like a 300-600 MHz single core Windows Mobile 6 phone! !
6. Crappy/buggy video recording. Overall poor camera quality in low light! It is just pathetic, I say.
7. So far, on stock blur, I didn't find a trouble free, foolproof way to do voice recording. The voice recording ****s up when quitting the recorder app OR turning off the screen OR both. Even on CM7 I many apps fail. However, one app namely PCMRecorder works. But still it is too buggy to call as working well.
8. Many times, compass points in random/wrong directions when navigating using Maps (either transit, walking, biking or driving directions).
AND MANY MOOOOORREE...
Thanks litetaker,
I do think we ought to keep it to pre-leak stock problems. The screen blackout for example is a 2nd init only bug. Can we keep references to rooting & roms out?

Battery yes GAWD battery! How did I forget about that horrendous thing! Evernote does a wonderful job of keeping your voice recordings organized in the voice note section. The service has been invaluable to me as I have lots of ideas to keep track of and typing on a rocky bus is not easy
I've heard about the post call screen issues from more than a few people now, that should definitely be highlighted. It would scare me into not wanting take very many calls and I'd imagine the older, less-text messaging crowd would'nt lik it either.
A thought: I know many have contacted Moto or Verizon customer support and have been passed up the rep hierarchy time and again. To those who have, were you given any kind of extension to dial or the number of a particular department that could better answer your question? If we could all skip over general support somehow and concentrate on a more "effective" department, a critical mass of complaints could be reached and we would be passed further up the ladder; to a person(s) would could actually provide good, solid information.
Btw called Motorola support and heres how it went:
Me: expressing my concerns not really driving into the woman hard (please dont take that the wrong way lol)
Rep: Could you hold please?
Me: Sure :waits for 45 minutes: Hangs up phone
Didnt have time for that!!
May 16th and organizing
So I choose may 16th cause that's in about a month or so which should be plenty of time to notify all motorola users not just people on our phone but all the phones motorola claimed they'd unlock... Kinda like everyone uniting on a brute force of their customer service. As far as organization, it don't think it needs to be that elaborate. We tell everyone we can that owns a moto to call, im, email, or whatever to moto and verizon on that day as often as they can... If we can only get 5,000 people to participate and each of us makes 3 calls on that day for 3min. each that'd be 750 hrs of phone calls... That's got to raise some attention, not to mention cause a more then a few problems...

Yea that sounds like a great plan
I wasn't thinking there should be some big elaborate scheme to the whole thing
But some kind of organization to show Motorola that the customers WILL and CAN unite and become a force to be reckoned with.
Maybe include a start time at which point most people should really start their calls/emails.
Say maybe 7-9am(we will have to pick a timezone to base that on so everyone adjusts accordingly, my thoughts are to have it start between 7-9am where they are located.) That way pretty early in their work day all of a sudden within 15-30 minutes of the first few calls , their phone lines and emails suddenly explode into a furious action under "attack" causing them to wonder what the hell is going on, will frustrate them slightly and hopefully cause them to make a decision better suited to our wants/needs ...then continues all day long to rack up the total man hours spent on it. But I feel like an initiao BOOM of calls/emails to grab their attention would hopefully get them to realize the users have become completely fed up with the non existent customer relations
So when is it?

What practical use do you see for S-Voice besides waking up phone & ask for weather?
Let's discuss that here, so we could build our experience of possible use ways of S-Voice for the time when we'll get our hands on the phone
I don't see much practical use except maybe for apple fanboys...
Besides in a car I find voice controls hardly practical and sometimes obnoxious.

It doesn't look very stylish to type silently on your phone while waiting in line at Starbucks. So have a conversation with your phone while you wait in line. The Galaxy S3 is just like an old friend who is ready to strike up a conversation with you. All you have to do is say "Hi Galaxy!"
You can shout obscenity at it while you're pissed off at work. There is a market for anger management apps.

The SGS2 is no fun to talk with because it is just a phone..
But the Galaxy S3 is a different story. She is natural and human. She knows when I sleep. She watches me every moment of the day. She always knows what I want next.
I think it depends what its capable of. Can you ask it to do calculations? can you ask it to create a shopping list? can you ask it to play a certain song? or could you ask it to read out a text message, ask it to call someone.

also really curious of how much it is capable of
The key will be extending it to other apps unlike the POS that is Siri which only works with Apple apps. E.g. Can I use SVoice to send messages or make calls using custom dialed or SMS.
I hope to be a greek version otherwise it is useless for me
I have uninstalled vlingo. Google voice search is handy, when I search for something but don't know how to spell it.
Svoice could be useful while driving in my car to trigger a phone call.

The SGS2 is no fun to talk with because it is just a phone..
But the Galaxy S3 is a different story. She is natural and human. She knows when I sleep. She watches me every moment of the day. She always knows what I want next.

Creepy... Perhaps it will delete your contacts in anger if you stop looking at it when it talks with you.

yes voice apps are useless if they dont understand your own language. i use my phone in english so phone part may not be important but cant have my all frinds have english names to start a voice call
I'm on the road a lot for work, and listen a LOT of music. Driving and scrolling through tracks can be a bit of a hazard sometimes, so I'm really hoping I can just tell my phone to play a track or album and it does it.
That alone would be a selling point for me.

Yes, I want this too...
even if it doesn't cone built into the phone, shouldn't we be able to find a mod for it?

if there is going to be a gps reminder thingy ill be extremely happy. nothing like pulling into walmart and having your phone remind you to get the toilet paper you have desperately been needing for a couple days. it can be quite the cleansing experience.
i am also wondering if they are going to throw in the sheep reference towards apple users. i know its petty, but if i could get the phone to make fun of some of the tree huggers that hang out in starbucks... i might get a laugh and it would make my purchase of the phone all the more worth it.
If it's extensible enough so other apps can use it them it may be really useful. Google Voice hasn't done this. e.g. 'forward this email to my Tennis group and upload all attachments to Dropbox'. Or 'Play TuneIn channel ABC'. Complex voice commands could really be useful. We know Siri is nothing more than a simple keyword recognition engine so I'm hoping Samsung has done something better.
Agree, until we know what its capabilities are there is no way to make a guess at how useful it might be.
I am confused. Where is Facebook, Google+, Gmail, google voice, 3rd party messengers, Tinder, full navigation, youtube...etc? Shouldn't I be able to fully respond to messages on most apps but the apps arent even available in store. Can't log into a business wifi network that has welcome screen. All the apps in the samsung store are pointless except for maybe 10. I'm really lost here. WHat am I suppose to do with this $400 watch? lmao Its on my wrist right now and I'm like uh........ Maybe this was just for Marathon runners? lol
yea they're lacking on the software department. if they don't get enough companies to jump on board to their custom OS it's going to fail
Probably should have browsed the gear 2 area before jumping into this one as it's the same device but with cell radios. Same complaints for the last year. Lol
Yes same thought here I can't this this lasting tizen is dead already not enough devs signed up for development Samsung just trying to get a slice of the pie give it six months it will join the rest of the dead end gear lol in the back of my drawer

by then people will have another verison to complain about. Well at least we didn't by the Tizen only phone
Again. Expectations are just through the roof with not even a week old device. Should always research first before jumping right in.

ya, if i want youtube or facebook, i pull out my S5
Google Now gives me updates on weather and when to leave for appointments and how long it's going to take. I like that. It's Tizen and Samsung not Google, so I never expected Google Now. Hangouts is the only app I'd really like to see added over text messages.
My big beef is that I can't reply to emails send emails or even create tasks with s-voice. Those few things will make me happy but they need to happen soon.

Or how about just having wifi that’s included on the app? I understand every app is not going to make every user happy. I was just giving examples. I have a 2 inch screen on my risk.... Thought it was going to do something. Not necessarily make me fly but just common task. Maybe respond to emails or hangouts? Am I reaching to far? Full GPS car navigation? Am I still reaching to far? Google VOice app so all calls show same number as my phone? I'm just barley touching my toes.. Hope I'm still not reaching too far.
Google does not allow Google apps on non Google certified mobile devices and certainly not on other OSes other than iOS ... and we know why that is. End of story.
If you need Google apps on a watch this device is not for you. See how Android Wear works for you.
Been using AntTek Blacklist to kill spam and unwanted calls, but it's total crap now. Instead of using the pick up / hang up it sends to voicemail and turns ringer to off. If I do not notice a call was blocked by blacklist my phone ringer will sit on mute and I miss real calls. The pick up / hang up on blocked calls is very important. I do not want the voice mail! So I am done with it and looking for a good alternative recommended that will pick up and kill unwanted calls effectively
AntTek is ZERO help and if I wasn't too lazy I would spend the day writing reviews all over the web on their crap service...
AntTek support is just awful. Actually, that is not accurate, it does not even exist. After I complained my ticket was not replied to after 6 weeks, they just closed it unanswered. I know 4 bucks is not huge money, but if I buy a premium app I want it to work, and I want support to reply, at least in a week
Any recommendation on a replacement would be cool. Thanks
Have you tried Whoscall?

Thanks. How does it block the call? I read the description and I'm not clear. Does it pick up and immediately hang up?
I see this was moved to QandA. Not sure if this is because I slagged AntTek or the content, not really important.
AntTeks zero support needs to be addressed. What is the best way to address this on a board this large? Honest question. They need to be called out and XDA is a powerhouse so I want to make sure they have at least one negative review on here
This is not a case of someone with little tech knowledge being silly or misinformed, this is really a company that is dine and dash. My first android was the G1, I know what is good and bad service and I know how to use android
A company that is fine collecting a few bucks from 1000s of people and moving on needs to be called out
