Google Now rarely responds. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know if this is better suited in the Jellybean thread, but I'd hate to see this drowned among the 100's of posts every day in that thread.
I am Swedish, but I've set everything possible to English (US) and to use Google.com instead of Google.se and to always speak back, yet it rarely does. It also completely ignores statements and only googles them. LIke if I say: "I can count to potato", it searches the web for it rather than throwing me a sassy comeback or whatever.

Google now only gives back useful information .. no jokes and useless chats.

That was a bit of a let down. I guess I've always expected Now to be a little chatty. Looks like I'm gonna have to find some other app for the actual chat.

Yes they do, but hopefully you as well
Try vlingo or just use s-voice (based on vlingo like siri).
Iris would also be something you could try, it's almost only usable as chat bot.
Google now is to get informations or handle tasks, no chat bot.

Help Need Making A very Personal App

Well basically, this girl I like, and me have the same phone, the Atrix 4G. Now I wanted to ask her to a dance, and wanna make an app for that, Something creative and original, like say plays a youtube video of me asking her to the dance, then opens up a prompt which says yes and no, if she selects yes, her phone calls/texts me the answer, what is your opinion on this? Will it work? Too Nerdy? Overkill?
I support this. Even if nerdy, id want to use it for jokes. Hah

Hahaha thanks for all the positive replies, yeah I've never coded before in any kind of form, I'm more of a hardware person, though you see fragmentation won't be a problem here as me and her have the same phone. Any more how to videos would be appreciated, I have a lot of time for this, but just wanted to put the idea out there and get some support, after all I thought android devs would be more helpful considering they develop for open source platforms.

If its a yes, there might be a reaction video depending on whether she agrees!
I hope you don't like this girl because she has the same phone as you. That's really... rhymes with day. But uh, if she says yes, put your app on the market and market it as able to get you dates. Btw, if she says yes and you two hit it off, are you going to make an app asking her can I see what is in your panties?

[Q] Why isn't phone announcing callers?

I noticed today that my SGSII no longer tells me who's calling. I don't know when it stopped doing it so I can't trace it back to something I did or installed. I know it was doing it, but not what app or process is responsible for it or why it no longer does. I remember there was a setting choice on whether to do this, but I can't find it nor did I turn it off. I'm guessing maybe Juice Defender or some other app may be inhibiting it. Any clues?
Do you mean callerid? CityID does that, but i think it is trial or something. Try TrueCaller, it is free from their website.

Black ops smartphone. Is this possible?

Does anyone know of or can start a section to make systems in phones systems, apps and add ons . Not for smartphones but to make Super smartphones. Like the ones we see on movies or at lest close to them.
Lol. I know it sounds stupid but I believe it can be a future for a civilian business or just a bad ass hoddy.
Please, let me know if your up for a challenge or how dumb this is. Lol.

Grammar nazis should just learn to read better. I can read that, backwards the whole only first and last letter thing, and even l3e7 speak fine.
another fact. People with very good grammar tend to get lazy with it, when you know. It doesn't matter. Or, also. And you should all be more sympathetic towards this considering the nature of this site. Who wants to go for perfect grammar when on a phone. Really, every time.
Moral of the rant, spend less time correcting peoples grammar and more time teaching your self to read less pathetically.

Typing with bad grammar sends me (at least me, can't speak for anyone else) that you don't actually give a damn about the problem you're trying to tell me about, you just want it fixed.
That's why it ticks me off. It's totally within your right to type however you want, but don't get upset when people call you out for it.

If it bugs you that much than it must mean you can barely read, and I don't mean you in specific. I kinda get where your coming from with the when asking for help part. But, no one even bothers to look at their page and see where there from or ask if they're using a translator or typing in a second language, both of which are courtesies, while yes in forum rules. But the bottom line is their poor grammar, especially when it's really bad is typically a foreign member. People are too trigger happy here now a days.
