yeah, I always wondered where the tagging was... it's about time!
Pretty nice. But hope they can do a little more about the group feature.
gets better with every update... like the new photo/video function
I am not a heavy facebook user, so the changes did not seem all that significant to me.
Maybe with a better app, I will start using it more??
My thoughts are ...
FINALLY! Posts can be removed!
It is almost an exact copy of the iPhone app tho so if this is done with the facebook app, let's hope developers start doing it more often One thing they must remember tho is ... WE HAVE A MENU BUTTON!

It has annoyed me ever since my mate posted something (that I didn't want him to ) on my wall using his crappy BB 8520, when I tried removing it I couldn't ha, even with friendcaster Pro so I had to ask him to do it and he could of his basic blackberry haha
I like it. Especially the way you can choose what group you want to see the post. I can't do that with the Facebook website.
Some devs at dexetra.com had developed this app called iris (siri spelled reverse) during a hackathon...in just eight hours.....here is the app....its in early beta so....don't expect much from it.....

This! I downloaded the file, but I have yet to install it.
There is an article on this here. Downloading and installing in a second. I think it's hilarious that Apple made this their top marketing point for the 4S and in 8 hours, something incredibly similar gets developed (not to mention other apps that work pretty much the same, like Vlingo and such).

Using it right now, it's not like Siri, but I'm sure it will get there, pretty similar to Vlingo, although this one seems to be quicker, at least for me.
Anyway, it's already on the Android Market. Linkage.

I installed it and uninstalled it roughly five minutes later. It is definitely an alpha (as noted in its title) and in its current state, it's nothing more than a concept app. It has potential though!

Eva is actually pretty responsive with a lot of command options. Like setting reminders, calendar dates, texts, etc. Still getting to know the program a bit better but so far its pretty good.
Pretty cool I think. It gave me a couple laughs. I wish it didnt speak the question or statement you asked, and really wish the voice wasn't so annoying and more smoother. But its still early, can't wait for more updates. I'm enjoying it.

One thing I don't care much is for the UI on Iris or Eva. I think Devs might consider more of a ICS UI. That's why I'm currently using Vlingo, clean and slick, with no cheesy avatar, or play-school looking UI.

i couldnt agree more. this app is actually awesome and cant wait for more updates, but i would like the UI to be on par with the rest of the Android UI. you know, look cooler
Gunna check it out, im confident android will get something equivalent, if not better than siri
What time is it?

Wat? It's UK BST, here, and that wasn't what I asked!
What is the time?

Same wrongness, and that wasn't a date request!
Set a reminder in ten minutes.
In 45 minutes? Why in 45 minutes?
...and it gets worse. Silly Eliza bot.
The speech recognition is good, but that's a library import. The utility is nil.
Still sounds very funny, but I will look forward to future versions. And its a fact, the devs here on XDA are so damn good.
I've used it once or twice and although laggy and sometimes times out but it's interesting and I look forwards to further progress :]
I just download a new app ib the Market that totally blow my mind of and is the fact that, alpha yet, is a amazing copy of Siri and does almost everything like Siri ... it call, text, search google and talk with me perfectly amazing, do you guys know about that app?

I just tried and tested the SIRI app and........
Speaktoit Assistant is about 100 times better, faster and a lot more
accurate than the Siri app is.
(it even has a teaching mode if you ask for it nicely)
You will see!!!
agreed just tried it out! Amazing

My friend unleashed Siri on me for the first time with his iPhone to show it off. The overall functionality of that program blew my mind the way its able to understand questions and commands in so many different ways and perform its actions... I started looking into an Android alternative, and let me tell you, we got a lot of catching up to do... I tried Iris, and its OK but its laggy and only understands simple commands.... Speaktoit on the otherhand, was way more functional with added features that Siri lacks and has so much potential.... play with it and post your opinions, I'm just glad that the devs jumped on this early and are doing an awesome job with what they've put out... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK LADIES AND GENTS!

I haven't tried speaktoit but I will, but Iris I fond kind of amusing with its sarcastic remarks. My wife asked me to ASK THE PHONE IF SHE WILL MARRY YOU so I did. (My wife has issues with me on the phone tweaking it all the time) and Iris came back with, WE WILL HAVE TO DATE FIRST. My wife about died.
I think it can and will be an amazing app, not bad that the giluy came up with a semi working model of it after ONLY 8 hours. So I would say it is safe to assume he will make it work even better. Now to test out speaktoit.

Hi:
Speaktoit seems awesome. I liked it better than Iris.
I was wondering is there a way to change to a male voice?
I see it gives the options of Pico TTS, or Samsung TTS, but they both sound similar.
How can I add new voices?
Thanks so much!
SVOX is what you're looking for. There may be free apps, but it's worked great for me. Each voice comes with a free two week trial.

You might want to also look at "Eva Intern". Right now I have Vlingo, Speaktoit, and Eva Intern on my phone. Looked at Iris. Don't remember why I uninstalled it.
I prefer straight up Voice Actions. Having it talk back to me is cute and all, but ultimately it just adds time to getting things done. Once the novelty wears off, it's just a nuisance IMO.

I tried Eva....insanely annoying. It wouldn't just read out the text messages that came in, it interrupted anything else I was doing at the time to go full screen and read the message. When I backed out of it it would just go back to the home screen. Even when I told it to exit, it would start back up again. I uninstalled it soon after I began to get annoyed with it.
I currently have Speaktoit, Vlingo Personal Assistant, Iris, and Skyvi.
Speaktoit is pretty decent especially after the last update. Their word filter was so strong you couldn't even ask for information on something if it had what it considered a "bad word" in the name. I did notice that when I give it a name, it doesn't seem to stay set for long. It keeps going back to Sam. It's still pretty sweet though.
Vlingo is pretty nice. I'm thinking I like the app from the market better than the one made for the GSII that came with the phone. I like how it doesn't just read out the responses to you, but lets you choose for it to read them back or not. The voice is also more "natural" than others.
Iris has a long way to go, but looks to be on the right track. I don't like how it repeats what you ask it and then takes longer than it really should to respond to you. The quirky responses are pretty funny at times.
Skyvi is one I haven't really heard people mention, but I found it in the market and gave it a shot. I like how you can connect to facebook and twitter and then interact with those services from the app. You can have it read your news updates from facebook, your own wall, or other friends' walls. You can also have it read your twitter feed out loud to you. This is among the other typical voice commands most of the others have. I haven't seen any others that will read your facebook and twitter feeds to you though.
Pretty funny that Iris is just Siri spelled backward. Hope it ends up working well.
Well, that just sucks.

Yes, stating ones opinion is indeed, "policing."
Re: no its not. That's dumb.
I saw the humor just fine. Allow me to reiterate: jokes can in fact, be bad. I thought it was a poorly executed joke. Get over it. Not everyone needs to agree and just because someone disagrees with you, doesn't mean you need to start making posts that attack others.

The thing is we feel you are the who likes to attack and are rude in your comments. Like I tried to say in a earlier post to you, but you will never understand it. The one thing is you do offer a lot of help to people with some of your replies, just stop trying to be the moderator. That is for someone else to do.

Thats soooo olddd omg. There is an app called carrier iq to tell if u if you have it. Most of providers have removed and almost every single custom rom has it removed. Dude this article is form december 2011.
That's old news. Like, really old. Look at the date on the article. Verizon doesn't use CIQ on any of it's devices. It may use something else, but so far we don't know of anything, so any claims otherwise are just FUD.

http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/8/30...cy-officer-magnolia-mobley-culture-of-privacy
as stated by other memebers, IQ has been removed from most newer devices or has been changed to collect data anonymously
yeah i noticed it was old but just thought it was an interesting read... shouldnt of put the title that way but never the less its interesting.
i guess the cool thing is that developers can find these things since android is an open platform. If you were running an iPhone chances are you could never know!
