For those of you who are interested, just saw on handango.com their new release.
I will wait for the first reports to pay the $40.- though. No trial.

So far so good..
Well just installed it a couple of hours ago and I have to admit so far this is pretty nice. No training needed, seems to work pretty good and has been dead on accurate so far.
Couple of initial thoughts on it:
1. Can't assign the button to activate the voice to the volume button, this seems to be an limit of the phone or OS and not the application. Basically you have to press a button that activates the voice command software before you speak, it works well but you can only use the calendar or contact button. Personally I would like to the volume button as I never use it for anything, and it is easily accessible via the thumb.
2. Can't seem to adjust the voice talking to you. I would have personally liked to adjust the ladies voice a little. Its ok though sounds ok though like all computer voices kinda blotchy and stuff.
All in all it is accurate and seems to do what it says. Easily launch applications, find contacts and dial stored contacts or a new number just by speaking.
I tried it, and not impressed.
For some things its accurate, however if all your contacts are english sounding names then its easier. If you have non english names, there is problems with recognition.
Additionally it seemed not to recognise anything with the earphones plugged in, and worse still with any kind of background noise, like in the car, no recognition.
Ive found fonix voicedial to be better.
I had fonix voicedial for a long time and IMO voice command is far superior if you have a lot of contacts. No training needed, from command to dialing the process is much much faster. Plus being able to control media player and view contacts verbally is great!
Does fonix voicedial work with an O2 XDAII ?
I haven't found the answer on there site... or perhaps didn't look well
Free Trial, DL and try it. Should work. It runs PPC2003
Thanks
is there a command line program that can load the bluetooth settings directly? or maybe a command line app that can automatically set a bluetooth device as handsfree or wirelessstereo.
and talking about command line apps, is there an app out there that can send sms through paramaters? something like "sendsms.exe +639175550000 hi how are you"
ciao!
woooot!
i found this:
http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases
i've been looking for something like these even before i got my athena.
i'll update you guys after i tested them
EDIT:
now, on a very busy street (prone with snatchers and the like), i can send a text message to my wife by just using the bluetooth earphones (plantronics pulsar 260). i can now speak to my headset "start: o.k." and then it'll send "okay honey. i love you." to her number. another scripted text message is "start: on my way" to send "ok honey, i'm on my way."
this is a very very convenient feature (imho) for something like an athena (big), specially while i'm walking (or running?) down the street which is usually crammed with people.
i'm sure i can find more ways to make my life easier, because of these apps. and hopefully, i can install vs2005 and do some more serious programming myself. hope you enjoyed this as much as i do.
ciao!

I think that you're not alone in this search... it sounds like the holy graal quest in windows mobile... as I've read this asking thing in many french forums.
as far as I know, it doesn't exist this software for windows mobile. And as it's not possible to use iphone or androïd's applications on winmo...
But you can try with "Voice Twister" of "Screaming Bee"...
Voice Twister is the first professional application that gives you the power to morph your voice on a Windows Mobile device.
Voice Twister is the first professional software that gives you the power to morph your voice on a Windows Mobile device.
The easy to use voice selection will have your friends and family laughing as your voice is converted to a Space Squirrel, or your kids are talking like a Giant at story time. Choose from the many preset voices, or you can use Tweak and Speak to change the pitch and add an effect, creating a unique voice of your own.
In addition to live voice changing, Voice Twister can play an existing audio file in the morphed voice, and save it to a new file. You can also record and save your live voice for play back later.
NOTE: Voice Twister is not designed to use during a phone call and cannot morph your voice within a phone call.
Here are some key features of "Voice Twister":
· Live morphing using Push-To-Talk (like a walkie-talkie) or if you have a headset, real-time morphing as you speak.
· Record your morphed voice to a wave file for later use.
· Morph and play an uncompressed wave file and optionally save it to a new file.

thanks
thanks for ur kindly information dude..
really this is problem when it comes to games and application on windows mobile....
the developers like gameloft etc. not make games for wm...
take android or iphone for such app.
I mean howmany good gui supported games for windows mobile?
even we cannot have such good games for our motion sensor supported...
What are you talking about? Gameloft makes a ton of games for Pocket PC. As does EA Mobile. The Java versions for feature phones will also work via a MIDP compliant Java VM like phoneME. They are mostly sold via your carrier's WAP store, though. I guess that is what you meant. And yeah, they are difficult to get if your carrier doesn't sell them and there are no trials available to see if they are worth purchasing. Though, I guess things can also be found via Google. I haven't really tried.
I hope this question is ok to ask? I was hopingto be able to Skype on my viewsonic tablet I downloaded android app no use deleted. Tryed todownload for mircosoft won't allow me too I can't get a video feed to pop like I can using laptop? Can someone help me? Great device for email and web! But I need to Skye family.
Thanks

I don't think Skype for android does video yet. Check themes area, there are some threads there. Reelportal seems to work.

Calls Work
I have skype working on my tab with TnT lite 3.4 right now.
the android app doesnt have video yet, but i pay 3 bucks a month for unlimited calling in the US and my tab work beautiful to make calls, ordered a pizza off of it last night.
If your looking to video chat, the yahoo messenger app works great regonizes the camera built in.
But you have to download the yahoo mess app from the market and install it first, and then search for the yahoo messenger video add-on app for the video to work.
Good luck hope this helps.

Hello there new wannabe moderator! How ya doing
@OP:
We're flooded with similar requests for Skype; just did a quick search using the following keywords:
g tablet skype (http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partne...fhnf&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=g+tablet+skype&sa=Search)
Have a look at some of these threads, you likely find what you need.
Regards,
Just thought I would mention that I have been searching for an hour and still cant find a link....
I am using Yahoo messenger also. Video chat works great.
Fix that market!
Skype only showed up for me after doing the market fix.
Simple way:
-Force Stop Google Services Framework. Do not clear cache.
-Force Stop Market. Do not clear cache.
-Load Titanium Backup (rooted/free one works fine for me) and Wipe Cache for Google Service Framework.
-Run Market again (And you should get an Error!)
-Reboot and wait until all clear (SD scan complete and all) then load Market again.
While I appreciate the instructions as a newb, Not sure how to do what to do or where to get what to get.
How to force stop and titanium backup....
what any idiot knows, I aint got a clue about.

To force stop, go to Settings->Applications->System Applications and find the app in the list. Tap on it, and you'll see a "Force Stop" button.
Titanium is a market application. You can either download it from the market (if you can access the market), or you can download it directly from the author's site here: http://matrixrewriter.com/android/files/TitaniumBackup_latest.apk
Thanks to all.... I am not stupid but I admit ignorance. Than ks for the help..... Is now done and working and got skype. magic.

So I guess the version that was released for Verizon phones like the Thunderbolt aren't easily ported over, right?
Seems only VZ phones support skype video.
Here is the bottom line.
The current skype app for android does not support video conferencing. Only audio. The video version released for the thunderbolt is not compatible with the gtab, or anything else for that matter. Many of us have tried to make it compatible. No luck.
Skype was just bought by microsoft. And microsoft is well known for killing their software competitors, so don't hold your breath for a video skype for android anytime soon.
That said, you guys should have done a search for skype and other video conferencing apps. I'll be a nice guy and tell you which ones work and which ones don't work here.
Oovoo - works for froyo and ginger.
Yahoo messenger - works for froyo and ginger, you need the vid plugin app.
Skype - only audio.
Google talk - nada...
Vtok - works for some people, doesn't work for others, I'm still trying to figure out the determining factor.
Gay roulette - works wonderfully... so does every other random on-cam masturbation apps. Makes me wonder. If these random video chat apps work so well, why the hell can't the REAL VIDEO CHAT apps work? Boggles my mind why we can't get a decent video chat app even though the porno industry is light years ahead.

I disagree, that seems to be an overly simplistic view of the situation.
MS bought Skype to offer more services and be more competitive with their biggest rival at the moment: Google.
Google has a variety of voice calling services, and MS has NONE- this is their attempt to attract some of that market. And just like they are pushing bing maps and search on Android devices, don't be surprised if they push their voice services there as well. They did not buy Skype in order to push WP7, I don't believe that for a second (MS isn't that suicidal, it makes no good business sense).
Remember, Skype makes most of their money from phone calls to regular phones, and that is regardless of what OS you use (Mac, Linux, mobile, etc). MS didn't buy Skype to run them into the ground. They can't afford to go losing paying customers on this investment, so it would be silly for them to drop the growing mobile user base (especially with Google Voice calls over IP dangling over our heads).
Also, lets not forget their apparent deal with Verizon to release video mobile versions. Just because MS bought them doesn't mean all current contracts and deals are nullified. They might have projects set in motion and obligations to finish before MS has a say in shifting gears.

LOL @ the gay roulette...
I've used Yahoo messenger before, and it DOES work pretty well, honestly- but it requires the person I'm calling to have YM as well, and to be perfectly honest, no one I know has it. Tango, etc, is similar- great service, if I'm calling other mobiles who happen to also have it installed already. Most of us are interested in Skype because we're calling family members, significant others, etc, who are not going to switch to a new service just because we have a cool new toy.
Oovoo is interesting- I didn't know they worked on Android (last I checked they didn't have a working client yet). I still have the same problem as before (no one has it), but I like the 3 way video feature. I might be able to convince people to switch to that because of the added functionality. Thanks for pointing that out!
Where can I find an oovoo .apk, though? It doesn't show up in my market (google or Amazon), and the version I found with a search here appears to be a beta that doesn't support video calling yet.
I'm running CM7 on my G-tab, btw.

You're forgetting something. MS is coming out with the tablet version of windows... called windows 8. Making skype friendly to google android will only enrich google more. If anything, they will make skype more friendly to windows 8 than anything else.

I'm not saying they're going to run skype into the ground. I just don't think making video chat accessible to android platform a priority right now for them. They will be coming out with windows 8 in a few months. I believe that's where they'll concentrate their effort.

The hacked version of oovoo specifically for gtab works. Here's the file.
Thanks for posting that, I'll try it later.
The Yahoo messenger app, meanwhile, is terrible! I remember it working ok on my Optimus' rear camera, but after trying it now I've had a totally different experience. First it wouldn't stop ringing (connected the call, but kept ringing, even after signing out. I had to FC the app to make it stop!), and even when it DID connect (on the 5th attempt), my video wouldn't transmit, and my friend's Nexus S I was calling only used the rear camera.
This app is useless!
Before I try Oovoo, it has just come to my attention that Fring supports plugging into other video chat protocols, including Gchat and Yahoo directly. Since Fring works pretty well on most mobile devices (I recall Fring to Fring working well, but didn't keep it cuz no one has fring!), could this be a better option? Then we could call other Fring users, and desktops using Gchat (or whoever is stuck using Yahoo IM I suppose). If I recall correctly, Gchat can even work in a web client without installing software, video and all, right?
That's might be a good alternative. Meanwhile, back to the whole Skype/Android/Microsoft thing, what ever happened to their aquisition of QIK? I thought part of the reason Skype bought Qik was to integrate their preexisting client and userbase of Android users into Skype. I can't believe MS would just drop all that, would they? And what will become of Qik in the end?

Yes, they would drop all of that. MS is getting ready to make a big splash with their windows 8 for tablet platform. The last thing they want is to add more options to their biggest software competitor, google.

This doesn't work on my gtab (CM7 n85).
It turns on, signs in, but video calling is inactive and any voice calls made/received are terminated as soon as picked up.
Yahoo messenger (with video plugin) was also reported to work. Yet, I wasn't able to make/receive any calls with it (IMs sent fine, calls never goes through).
Any insights are welcomed and appreciated.
Ok so. I've been really wanting so much to like this new Nokia Lumia 920. I've had been waiting to get rid of this IPhone 4 because I remember the days of my brick HTC Tilt and how customizable Windows 6 phones were. So far, I'm am disappointed. It isn't that I hate the phone. It is just that I expected more. I was expecting a lot out of this phone and it has not met the high standard that I (they) set for it.
The first major complaint is the camera. Are we being fooled into thinking it is that much better in low light. Yes, from what I've seen in reviews, it is better, but in my own experience, it isn't that much greater (I have tried auto and night mode). Am I too used to SLR pictures? The camera was supposed to be a big selling point! We have already been fooled once by Nokia about their "Pure View." (http: // articles.latimes.com/2012/sep/06/business/la-fi-tn-nokia-fake-ad-20120906) I wonder if all of this is just a scam. Now it seems that Nokia is owning up to more camera flaws (http: // pocketnow.com/2012/11/05/nokia-lumia-920-camera-fix). I really hope that this isn't a hardware issue and that they fix it right and not try any tricks. It isn't that the pictures/videos I take are bad, but they aren't that much greater(if they are greater) than the competition. Duped?
Battery life: I just switched from an IPhone 4 with no 4G LTE so i'm unaware of the battery consumption of 4G LTE but I have noticed that the battery sure does drain a lot quicker. I'm used to being able to go a couple of days without having to charge. I have noticed ways of getting the phone to last longer. Ff you run Nokia Drive beta, the GPS stays on in the background even when it is closed (you will notice a target at the top status bar remains on). You can turn the background option off, or you have to restart your phone to turn off the GPS and it can consume your battery. Yes, this should be an easy fix, but think about all the people that have to deal with this. Also there is not way to switch off 4G LTE.
Limited voice commands: I'm a big user of the voice commands to play my music. One of the first things I've noticed about this phone is that there are no voice commands from the touch and hold windows button that allow you to play your music. I get it that you can get the "Hey DJ" app and use voice commands for music, but why didn't they just integrate this into the OS so that I don't have to unlock my screen, and tap a few places. Isn't the point of voice commands so that you don't have to look at the screen.
Here are some other small complaints (Maybe some XDA developers could help cook up some changes.... I have paypal ).
No separate volume for ringer and music.
Internet explorer is limited when you search through Google
It is easy to accidentally press the back or the search when using the phone with one hand and reaching across the screen.
No apparent way that I have found to get the Nokia Drive Beta to repeat the last spoken direction.
No seeking option in visual voice mail. You have to listen to the whole thing all over again to get to one point in the voicemail.
Bottom line. This phone seems rushed and unpolished. I got it that some of these issues are OS issues, but come on! Am I expecting too much or isn't this the phone that Nokia was making such a large deal about? 10 more days to give this a try before my return policy expires. Come on Nokia and Microsoft. Change my mind!
Camera taking blurry pictures is a SW issue, as you probably know from having read about it, which hopefully theyll have sorted out fast in an SW update. The nighttime pictures Ive taken are very nice, though, so I dont know whats going on there.
Battery for me is fine, Ive only had my phone for a day, so I cant really say much, but the way its worked so far it seems about the same as my SGS3 in that department. Which is quite good. But of course, I need more time for that.
Voice commands I never was a big user of, since I feel like a moron walking around yelling commands in english (especially when Im in a non-english speaking country). But Im sure its annoying.
Volume thing I agree on, that should be an easy fix for MS to make, really.
Not sure what you mean by "limited" when searching through Google?
The accidental pressing is much like on the SGS3, really. Just a habitual thing, youll get used to handling the phone so you eventually dont mispress.
Iunno, I have a single real annoyance and that is wordwrapping in IE10.
i'm not sure what you were expecting from the camera, but the low light shots are some of the best i've ever taken with a smartphone. and i've had my share of smartphones (this year i've probably had between 8-10 different handsets from various oem's) the daytime shots are a little bit soft, but on par with some of the better smarphone camera's i've used, and it's something that is completely possible to fix via firmware updates (as in, it's not a hardware flaw, but rather a software one)
battery is pretty good for me, on par with my SGS3, it's so much better than my 4s on iOS6 though. there are a couple quirks that are causing the battery to drain rapidly, but people haven't been able to point the blame completely yet. some people have had google accounts getting stuck on syncing constantly and that is killing the battery and the only solution for now is a hard reset. it's an odd issue since it wasn't present in wp7.x and afaik the method wp8 uses to sync is the same as before. it's something that will most likely be fixed via software updates as well
limited voice commands are something that wp8 has the ability to deal with but i'm also bummed they didn't add more voice controls to the built in apps. music in general seems like a really rushed revamp in wp8 which is surprising since the zune software was quite well done in 7.x and was also a major feature which i liked a lot about windows phone. they're changing a bunch of stuff though so it's something that will probably be updated over time. personally i don't like voice commands outside of when i'm driving because i feel like it's faster to just use my fingers, but i understand your disappointment.
volume is something i agree on as well, why microsoft hasn't figured out this is something people have been wanting since 7.0 is beyond me, it really seems like a pretty simple change to make, especially when one is rewriting the entire OS.
accidental pressing is something that will lessen with muscle memory, i always have a lot of issues with button presses and a lot of typos when switching phones, but after a couple weeks you learn to do it a lot less.
i remember getting drive to repeat the last direction, but for the life of me right now i can't figure out what i did. if i figure it out, i'll post it.
the OS isn't for everyone, but for people who like the curated user experience a semi-closed system provides, but don't like apple's 1 handset philosophy it's a good platform.
i admit, i get bored sometimes and end up going to android, but almost always, after about a month of whatever the latest and greatest android handset, i always come back to windows phone. once you figure out your workflow on it, it's really the most efficient and fluid mobile OS out there.

Word wrapping is exactly what I mean when I say searching through Google is limited. If you use IE and search through google, at the top of the page, you get a: "This page adapted for your browser comes from...." If you search through through the built in Bing search, you don't get the word wrap. You get the actual page. This is very lame and I think its Microsoft's way of getting us to use Bing instead of google.
Also if you just enter the URL, there is no text wrapping.
Okay? Ive set Google as my default search engine in IE10, and while word wrapping doesnt seem to exist and double-tap to zoom isnt really working perfectly, I havent seen a big change from searching with google and searching with bing or just using a bookmark or directly typing in the url :s ?

This will happen if you have the 'defaul view' as desktop, if you select 'mobile' they will display fine, it is annoying, what I did was install the Google app and I just use that for my search and browsing.

Ok so it does text wrap well if you choose the mobile option for internet explore. I for one do not like the mobile version and chose to set my settings to desktop (sorry still a newbie so i can't post links)

If you set your IE settings to desktop and search with Google, you get a funky altered website that looks like this at the top.
ht tp://postimage.org/image/j1gnmwfr1/
It seems like the phone is sending to Google that it wants to still be a mobile phone. When you search with Bing you don't get this option. If you search with Google in Desktop mode, you can scroll to the bottom to get to the desktop site but it can be a hassle.
ht tp://postimage.org/image/5zuyx1rct/
Like I said, I like the desktop mode because I can zoom in and out and make great use of this huge screen.
Hoping google releases Chrome.
Yeah normally I like using desktop mode myself, but my most visited website works really well in its mobile form, so I figured "what the hell".
Would be interesting to see Chrome for WP8. I dont see why not, it is available for W8.

If you look at the URL of the page in your sample image, the URL is one on Google.com. It seems that Google recognized that you're on a phone and gave you a search results page that contains modified URLs that point back to Google itself (not to xda-developers.com) and that Google then proxied it for you, reformatting things to fit your phone.
Your complaint seems to be with Google for forcing you in to a "mobilized" view. Unless Google can't tell which "website preference" you're set to (mobile or desktop). I don't know how that preference gets conveyed in HTTP requests. Sorry.

My Rogers variant has the "max speed" option to shut off LTE. The AT&T one doesn't seem to have that... so this is an AT&T issue, not a Nokia one. And if AT&T is doing this on Windows Phone, I'd assume they are customizing their Android phones similarly, no? (I have no experience with Android.)

I get it that you can get the "Hey DJ" app and use voice commands for music, but why didn't they just integrate this into the OS so that I don't have to unlock my screen, and tap a few places. Isn't the point of voice commands so that you don't have to look at the screen.

This is an OS issue, so not too much to do with Nokia. The voice commands in WP8 are extensible. That means 3rd party developers can easily create apps that support it. I think Urbanspoon, Hey DJ and Audible are already out and support voice commands (meaning you can launch the apps by long pressing the windows button).
I expect a lot more apps will add that feature because it's so easy to implement. That makes the lack of voice commands for the built in apps really strange.

Uhm, you could always launch ANY app with your voice, even on WP7.
Those new apps support voice commands for other things. For example, from your start screen you might be able to say, "Urbanspoon, find nearby burgers" and it'll launch and go straight to finding burger restaurants around you. I have no clue what their apps actually support, but I know that it's possible to make an app that does that!
