I have seen a video on YouTube for siri for android,but apparently it only comes with Samsung Galaxy,iv tried Eva,omega,iris,etc but the galaxy version can be used without touching the Mic,it has a magic word,as soon as the words "Hi Galaxy" are said the app starts working, does anyone know any other apps that have a magic word to activate,insted of pressing the Mic on screen.

That seems weird, since it means the mic would have to be on 100% of the time, and software would have to monitor what you say. Seems like epic battery drain to me.
I agree with above comment, also I really don't understand why people want siri on Android, Cant you guys just be happy with the one pre-installed? Yea It don't do all that cool stuff but hey it works..
Update,here is the video link.

I'm going put the link up for you, Nokia used to have a magic word years ago,so its nothing new ,I'm just amazed we still have to touch the screen,in todays technology, ill put the clip up so you can see what I mean.

The mic was active once the app opens. He'd have to use a touch interface to open the app though. If he closes that app, saying, "Hi Galaxy" won't do anything.

Well, that clears it up for me. I can't see any app wanting the mic & software to be running 100% of the time. That'd seriously drain your battery. At that rate, rather than launch the app, I'll just long press the search button to open voice search. Same amount of touches, same result.
I thought with cIQ the mic is active? oh wait maybe that was their next update. LOL
How often would you really use Siri is my question.
Support TrevE! Fah Q CIQ!!
I know some people who use Siri a lot. I imagine it's like how texting was when it first came out. All you have to do is get used to it.

Ok, I was reading some posts on XDA, when all of a sudden,it went to my home screen went to the app launcher, scrolled down, went to settings and started going through ****? The really weird thing is that the haptic feedback was going every time something was pressed, as if I were pressing them, including the time it went to the home screen from XDA. I just battery pulled jic. I have lookout, WTF happened?

lol Some scary **** there.
But you're not the only one. I can confirm this happening to me, no more than twenty mikes ago. I had my phone plugged into my car stereo, and all of a sudden **** just started to go crazy on the screen. It closed the current player, opened up Google Music, then tried to call, opened up Google Voice, and accessed the messenger. And get this, all this was happening while the screen was locked. I'm starting to believe what connerrs wrote just a few post earlier.
LOL, hasn't happened lately, I haven't laughed like that in a while...

hey guys.
back on my OG Evo 4G i was rocking a customized version of Vringo that I had whipped up. unfortunately it seems as if Vringo was pulled from the market and/or doesn't exist anymore.
I found a couple of apps, the best one so far is called Video Caller ID (free) and it seems to do what I want well. I have a very high bitrate .mp4 file and it looks amazing when I get a call. problem is the UI leaves much to be desired.
i've got the app on my desktop and will try to modify the layout and do some photoshop magic, but i'm wondering if there is already a decent (in features) and good-looking app that will do the same?
anyone else have a video ringtone app or like the idea of using one? let's talk about it.
thanks for any info you can share.
I too would like to know if anyone knows....

My problem is that when you get a call you have to answer twice,otherwise it would be ok .

Whenever siri comes up in conversation around here, why doesn't anyone ever bring up the speaktoit assistant found in sense 3.5 roms? It has so far proven to be not only quicker but, I personally think, more accurate. If you haven't tried it then I recomment u do.

I agree it really is great. I use it more for fun than for real but while driving it works so great.
I've been using Speaktoit for a couple of weeks now, and it's fantastic. It's especially great when you mix it with the SVOX Classic TTS engine or the Loquendo Susan TTS engine.

My favorite is if you tell her to do something inappropriate (yes, sometimes I still have teenager thoughts) she says "hey, cool your jets!" or "Let's keep this professional" or my favorite "I'm not that kind of secretary!"
yea nice app
the only "****" is that it trys to obtain the IMEI no. and the current position like 10 times a day (every day)...
even thou i didnt used that app at these days...

So I saw the story this morning about someone being cheated out of the Smoked by Windows Phone challenge and what not... First time I heard about this marketing campaign actually so I looked at Microsoft's page for it which is lined with YouTube videos showing how it's faster than any other phone...
The first 2 videos (all i've looked at so far) are "let's see who can take a picture and upload it to facebook the fastest." Of course WP7 wins every time, but what I'm shocked at is their balls to make a dedicated camera button the selling point as if it's a new thing. "If I hold this dedicated camera button on the side, it opens the camera..." Yeah, I can do that too. Then he points out 1 button upload to Fb - swipe left to right on camera to show preview, tap to upload. Yeah, for us, tap preview, tap image to open share option. And everyone seems to be mesmerized by this crap they don't realize they already have! (ok, not everyone has the dedicated camera button)
You could argue that most people don't know how to use Android. Well... same could be said for any new device... They're just picking on those that don't know.
If you want to see for yourself...

Try holding it down -- phone should give you some haptic feedback and then open the camera.
Of course, on the 3D, you can just drag the camera icon into your unlock ring and achieve the same thing.
I just tried myself. Pressed the power button, dragged the camera icon into the unlock ring, snapped a pic, pressed the "Share" icon that appears during the short after-shot preview, and had I wanted to, I could've hit the Facebook option (I didn't ... who wants to see a pic of my monitor??). It took roughly 4 or 5 seconds, less if I were younger and could move faster

I did see that. I didn't wanna turn it into a discussion about that whole thing. I was amazed at how they're trying to spin their whole camera thing. Watching some more, yeah... there are some other things they're more efficient with. But it's still an ugly and uninteresting OS.

I was skeptical, and in fact wasn't going to upgrade. My Evo 4G started going flaky though so I decided to upgrade. My humble $0.02:
- ultralight and rigid. exudes quality construction
- phone has a nice feel to all the surfaces
- Beats Audio - I thought this was pure marketing nonsense, then tried with the same quality headphones on this and my old Evo and there's a clear difference. Same thing when I plug in from the headphone jack to my truck stereo. Very surprised.
- speed - can't bog this thing down with anything I've thrown at it
- Battery - still not perfect but I think it's a bit more efficient than my old Evo. At work where I get very little signal it still sucks the battery dry trying to reconnect voice all day. I may just put it in airplane mode when at work. Frigging army construction regulations.
Any dissenters? I'd recommend this phone more strongly than any other phone I've had at the time.
In this forum i dont think anyone will disagree, yes it is a great phone. Have some fun,go over to the s3 forums and brag it up
This phone is extremely solid compared to the Evo 3D, which I passionately hate and wish I had never owned. Unfortunately, a bad signal is always a deathtrap for a phone's battery, but it seems the rest of it is working out for you.

Do any other cell phone providers have good service at your work? I use an app called roam control. In my gym the free-weights are on a lower level with terrible signal. With the force roam on the app I'm able to get constant solid data, so I can listen to the tune in radio app. Just a thought.

If u search "roam control" on playstore there will be an app called "no roam control" or something like that. Anyways it is the first one on the list. It is by the same developer and there's a link to their website. U can buy a license and download it straight from there. Only thing that sucks is u will probably have to buy a new license for every new phone.
