I have been trying to get Google Now to tell me what my next appointment is but all it ever seems to do is web search and not actually look at my google calendar. I do get cards that show me what my appointment is when i open Google now but it does not speak them to me when i ask. does anybody know what i am doing wrong?
It will speak to me if i ask it "how tall is Barack Obama?"
I have made sure that everything is set to English US, even though it does speak to me in the Australian voice if i have it set to English (Australia) it still does not answer my question? When is my next appointment??? I don't know where i need to be next so please help??
Seriously, i am not overly impressed with google now at the moment and was expecting a bit better integration with the rest of the phone and accounts on it.

Svoice will do it but that means using 2 different voice apps when it should all be in the 1.

They're both on your phone anyway no? Just use whichever one suites your needs at the time. Google now to find out how tall Obama is, lol, and svoice for the other stuff.
I'm sure it'll work fine either when it's updated or when official jb is out and Samsung have coded it properly or whatever needs doing.
I'm experiencing similar problem but worse. Everything I'm asking to do or just ask simple questions - Google Now do simple web search... I set everything in English but with no luck.

Same issue here.
Just a thought;
do you use 's planner' and does it sync to google account? If it doesn't sync, google now might not have access to s planner to get the data from phone directly. Hence why s voice would work...
me too i'm not that impressed of google now as of now
been trying earlier all it can do is search in the web for pretty basic things like how old,how tall,who wins, who this is.etc but can't add an event to my calender

Hi all, u need to speak "when is my next appointment?" Instead.
I just had the same problem which is how I found this, and when I tried again saying "when is my next appointment" rather than "what is my next appointment" it worked. A lot of times its about ur word choice. So try when instead of what.

Correct me if I;m wrong, but isnt the point of Google Now to automatically bring these appointments to your attention, and not have to ask or search for the information you need? I should not have to ask Google Now when my next appointment is, it should be there like the pesky how far it is to my home in traffic card, that i dont need since its the exact same drive every single day 5 days a week. Why will these appointments now ushow up on their own cards by them selves as they should via Google Now?
Sintax error
The problem is how you word the question I just tried it myself instead of saying "what is my next appointment" say "when is my next appointment" and it will work perfectly.
"What's my next meeting" is working :cyclops:

I know when I tried it didn't work but because google is constantly improving the service I would say that the vocabulary that Google now understands is constantly expanding. Like the other day I found out if you say "what's the weather" it will only give you the current temperature but if you say "what's the weather today" it gives current temperature and the daily forecast.

Hehe cool, any other hints like that one?
Google just recently in included this question along with other features such as gmail integration in the latest iteration of Google now.
First go to the Google play store and search "Google search"; update if avalible
Next go into Google now (swipe up from bottom) and say "Google!" (Wait for the beep) "When is my next appointment?"
Do not use conjunctions like when's or what's my next appointment; Google will not recognize these.
Hope this helps!

Hello,
I just purchased a Galaxy S II, model SHW-M250S. However, I do not think it came with the voice talk software. Does anyone know why that would be? Any way to add it to the phone (other than vlingo from the app store) I have been trying to figure it out online for a little bit now so I am posing the question to those with a lot more knowledge about phones than myself. Thank you.
You mean a voice command application? Vlingo is the closest you can get right now.
Yes voice commands. I thought the GS2 came with a "voice talk" application preloaded. In videos I have seen users just click applications and it is right but my phone lacks this.
There are three, voice talk, voice command, and voice search. Not sure what are the difference among them as they all seem to do more or less the same thing.
Sent from my phone via tap tap tap
Hmm, well I have the voice search but it just searches google. It won't open apps or let me dictate messages or anything.
You are right, I got them confused, voice search does google, but the other two more or less do the same thing. They should all be in your app drawer.
I don't think they are I wonder how it got left off the phone? Kinda disappointing. Too expensive of a phone to be missing stuff imo.

double tap home button and if its the first time you've done it you will need to click ok to samsung Disclaimer - No need to install another app
Is there any app ( like reQALL, which isn't that user friendly) in which I can send reminders to my friend ( of course if they've installed the same app ) .
e.g: If I've to remind him to call some one at a particular time
I'm using the good old method now, Saving reminder in my mobile and calling him to check with that person
I think I 've asked this question at wrong time.
Looks like i've asked this question at the wrong time where in every one ( including me ) were closely tracking ICS instead of the forum
I'm surprised
I'm surprised to see no replies from XDA . I really thought I will get some answer
Ummm, send a text message. If you need, there are apps that allow you to type a message and have it sent at a particular time.
I'm a bit confused about why you would need an app for this? Can your friend not make a note/calendar entry/alarm for themselves?
Sent from my Evo + MIUI using Tapatalk!
Thanks for the reply Jane. Say Suppose if I want to send it to a group of people ( with Android phone and the app installed in all their mobiles), where in I set an appointment and send it to all of them , a notification pops up whether you want to update your calendar Yes/No . Clicking a Yes makes an entry in his mobile? some thing on this line.
And to answer your other question, Yes he can set a alarm /reminder as well. All the Apps are the just Ideas of making things easy isn't it?
Replying again to push my thread up , Really sorry for the spam I just want the thread to be seen by developer who knows about this .
Suggestion:
Make a Google account, let your friend(s) to sign in. Once you set reminder, everyone will get.
A yay for you?

I will Keep the thread alive for one more day and I will close it, i don't want to spam .
I think this is one kinda app which is not in existence, Developers can take this idea and they can build one if they want it
It's said in the thread name. Is that normal or what should I do to get it right? I tried to search this subject but it's impossible to search as the search words are too common and I can't filter out the results I need. Please enlighten me in the subject matter...
Thanks in advance.
P.S. It was also hard to put this thread in appropriate forum, so if I have mistaken in that regard, mods please relocate the thread.
So nobody even knows is this normal or not?
Nobody uses Google Now?
So, 53 views - from which I guess 3 I can write on my own account - and nobody from 50 people uses Google Now... Really? That can only mean two things. Google has seriously f..ked up with the service, I mean if even one out of 50 people doesn't use it, it's definitely a fail. Or, a more probable reality is that not a single user from those 50 who actually has ever tried Google Now bothered to answer my question. This is EPIC fail, dear XDA-Developers Forum. It's not the community it used to be, where it was meant that users support each other. And that's really sad.
When I say view email it opens the stock mail app.

Thank You for Your effort! I am sorry, I wasn't being accurate in my original post. I was referring to the situation when I have a "package shipped" card in Google Now and there is a link below that - "View email". When clicking that one, I am redirected to browser instead Gmail app... I have Gmail app set as default for emails.
UP. Please someone test it...
Anyone?!
I sometimes get a notification which tells me about various applications that can be downloaded, I find these notifications extremely annoying, not only because I hate advertisements and put a lot of effort into stopping then on my desktop PC which I am very experienced with, but on the HTC one, when I get one of these notifications it uses the default notification sound, which makes me think I have a text message (sometimes at ridiculous times of the day) but instead it's telling me about star cam or some other crappy app. In this respect the advertisements are worse than on my desktop PC, as I never turn the mobile off in case I am being contacted, so the possibility of getting these annoying notifications is 24/7.
I don't know why, but I never had this problem on my htc desire HD, or the tytn 1 and tytn 2, only my htc one.
I need to stop these advertisments! I have tried going into "App info" for google play store to disable "show notification" but I don't seem to be able to find it except for "notify me about updates to apps i've downloaded" now this doesn't seem like it, because that only counts for apps I already have and only for updates. My problem is for notifications about apps I never had, also the app updates notification never seems to make a sound (Which is good) but this other notification uses the default notification sound as I stated before.
I have come across various apps that supposedly stop ads, but I don't want to get my phones resources bogged down with apps that may or may not do what I want and might not even work anyway, but I need some help please!

sigh.. always someone suggests google. By that statement this website could not exist at all, everything could be googled, the whole point of a forum is a more comprehensive and interactive 'forum' with which to ask questions and get detailed answers.
as I said.. I already know about adaway and other apps which stop ads. I have already done a "simple search"
https://www.google.co.uk/#q=android+play+store+app+advertisements&spell=1+
first page 10/10 all results come back with different apps you can download. None of them specify this particular problem and may or may not be generic ad removers.
Clue: description of number 1 app result :
The Google AdSense app provides an easy way to access key data from your AdSense and AdMob account. Access reporting features anywhere, directly from your mobile phone. The first version of the app gives you access to: the key earnings information (that are now also accessible via widget), top custom and URL channels, ad units and sites reports, payment alerts.
Please note: YouTube revenue and revenue from the legacy AdMob are not available in this app.

It was already clearly established in one of my posts that I did in fact do research, that's also a fact, please refer to the above post. Before coming here I already checked the first 10-20 links which were all apps.
Obviously research yields results eventually, which is why I already tried that first and posting here is an extension of that and also another method of "research" which by the way is always my last resort, not because I don't like forums, because I do, but I always do my best to avoid the obnoxious and repetitive "google it" responses you get, even when it's obviously not valid... and that's a fact too.
I think that these aren't Google ads... This happened to me before after installing a app. I don't remember what app it was but the app was sending me ads for crappy ads... Check the apps you installed since you started getting these notifications

The OP spelled the app as two words. I just searched for the app and found it, it's one word. I was only suggesting that maybe that's why you didn't find the app. Either way, it's not the end of the world; first world problems )
For what it's worth... I found the app by spelling the app's name as the OP spelled it (two words), but I also didn't search for it as one word.

How to find new apps?
Hi,
Just wondering if there is an efficient way to search for new apps. I have 3 issues:
1. Interested in anything new just developed that may not have been available the last time I checked
2. Still searching for an app that allows me to control ppt slides on my laptop that are being projected.
3. After finding an app that I searched for, the app is being displayed with the header:"about 2 results" even though only 1 app is displayed. What is that about?
For issue 1 I have been going to the Gear Manager>Samsung Gear apps>Top>sort by new.
That shows me 300 apps. Is that really all there is? Using the category tab is not that useful, since you can't sort by date and many apps show up in pretty much all categories. I thought there were over 1000 apps available? So where are they?
For issue 2, I have tried PreGear, but it required download of additional programs and admin password, which I don't have for my work laptop. Someone suggested a YouTube video that promoted an app capped Air PPT for Samsung Gear S, but no matter how I searched for it, I can't find it in the Gear store and the video did not provide info on how to get it. Any other ideas as to this type of app? Is there another place to find apps for my Gear S besides the Gear manager?
Issue 3 is just plain irritating. If this is caused by something I am doing, would be good to know, because right now it feels like the gear store itself has no clue as to how many apps it has...
