Vlingo for Android Now Available!?!?!?

I have been a long time fan of Vlingo for Blackberry and I read that it is now available for Android. I can't seem to find it in the market and I even went to www.vlingo.com/getvlingo. When I pull up the link it opens the market and says that there are no results for my search? Has anyone been able to successfully install this on the N1 running Froyo? If so, please enlighten me on how to do so.
Also, does this new version support Bluetooth voice dial since 2.2 has the ability now? One more thing, I did the build.prop mod to show all protected apps in the Market. Maybe that has something to do with it? If so, how do I revert this as well?

Vlingo pulls up fine for me - stock 2.1 (search for vlingo pulls it right up)

I'm on Froyo and can't pull up vlingo either (also went through Market and the getvlingo links).
Can anyone throw it up on a mirror?
Thanks!

This is exactly what I am experiencing...

This is a paid app, I pulled it up on my old G1. I don't think anybody is gonna post it here. Sorry for everybody who would actually pay for it.

Geez, ten bucks? What is it supposed to do that the inbuilt voice command cannot?
I used Vlingo when I had a BB and I didn't like it, and it was free at that time.

This is what they've got on their blog.

well, considering that voice to text should be available in any field that you are using the stock keyboard (i use swype, so i only turn stock on when i'm in the car), seems like vlingo is worthless
maybe i'm wrong

Thats pretty deceiving, since you can use the built-in android VR to compose emails and txt messages. I've done it many times, and it works great. I also use it to update my facebook status. As far as i can tell, there's really nothing that you CAN'T do with the built in VR, since you can use it anywhere you can use the keyboard.

Just got a reply back from support.
I was asked if my phone is rooted and if so that's the issue because the Market blocks Dev and Rooted phones.
Errrrr, hmmmm.

Anybody going to dish out 10 bucks for it and give us a review?

I got the exact same email from them about 5 minutes ago. I was solely interested in BETTER Bluetooth voice dial which they DON'T support at this time... I'm over it!

I suspect it doesn't show up in the market on Froyo devices because Google changed their voice recognition API in Froyo. They'll have to make some changes to the code and compile it with the 2.2 sdk.
I bought the app on my 2.1 Droid. The voice recognition is a lot better than Google's. I can actually use this, talk naturally, and don't have to worry about making corrections after the fact. I've got it mapped to hold on search hardware button, I say "Send an email to John Doe subject look at this message I composed this entire email without using my keyboard". It will ask me to verify the contact and email address I want to send to, let me choose to send with gmail or my exchange account, and insert the subject line and text in the message automatically. It's very slick and makes voice recognition really useful on android.

Uh, how is that not false advertising??
I can open Gmail right now, click a text box, and press the voice button.
Wtf?

Read my post above yours. This is what they were referring to.
As far as froyo support, I may be wrong: http://blog.vlingo.com/2010/05/android-22-froyo-support-for-vlingo.html
Bottom line is that as soon as Android Market flips the switch and recognizes the 2.2 OS as an officially released OS, Vlingo will show up as available for download. We'll certainly let you know once Android Market makes the change, and all you Froyo pioneers will be free to download Vlingo at your leisure.

So the only difference is that you can create and send an email without actually opening the Gmail app?
That's still false advertising as you can indeed Compose an email through voice.
If they made a distinction between "open apps using your voice", then it would be correct. But the way they are phrasing it is totally false.

I bought it, mapped it to long-press search button. The very first time I used it, it worked perfectly. "Text Google Weather [my zip code]" and sure enough, Handcent opened and the TXT was 100% correct. That was the only time it worked though. Everything else was close, but enough off I had to manually input something (find the correct contact or change the body of the message). Wasn't very impressed with it at all.

The first thing I noticed was how broken the interaction was when she said "call wonton shop" and it didn't call anywhere. it just looked up the number. the first result was a teriyaki place...go figure.
the second thing i noticed was the price. $10? for real? no thanks.

Handcent 3.0

Can someone post the APK for Handcent 3.0 please? Thanks in advance.
I tried googling it, but I figured no one would have it up yet, since it was updated yesterday. Thanks again!

Pretty sure were not aloud to post or send .apks...
and I just updated Handcent, it's whatever to me.

I think you're not allowed to post unless it's free. I don't have google add-ons because I don't have a data plan. Thanks anyways :]

Hahaha no I am an end user of Handcent and just updated it from the market, it doesn't stand out much to me.
The new editing tools seem copied from Chomp anyway.

enjoy.........

Once loaded... how can I disable the resident SMS from ALSO running at the same time?
Greetings.
As my title indicated, once I have installed Handcent, or even ChompSMS... how do I disable the original resident SMS program from ALSO running? When I ran it before on my Motorola Droid - 2.1.1 - I would not only get the SMS text reader that came with the device, but also the downloaded program app. Having both pop-up in the task bar was more of a distraction than a battery drain. What command, if any, is available to keep the resident one OFF, rather than have it turn on, too?

disable notifications? that sounds pretty logical.

When running Handcent or ChompSMS - how do we...?!
Greetings!
I was wondering - when running either Handcent or ChompSMS... how do we DEselect or prevent the resident messaging app from also running - so we won't be getting TWO apps offering repeated messages...??

Android commander/Droid explorer or terminal to remove the apks. Keep a backup!

I cannot remember where I read this, but someone removed the original SMS/MMS app from autostart, and he did not receive messanges any more.
So turn off the notifications from the original SMS client is a good idea, removing or stopping it is not reccomendet.

Application for Nexus one?

hi im new on nexus one i search in forum no luck or maybe separate post, i came from windows mobile its a new world here i got my n1 yesterday i live in mexico but i have some questions about software, im using stock i didint root it yet

i will wait one week or something to see if all works well before root =) thanks a lot

Most, if not all of your questions could be answered by some searching. Thus I'll be really short. If you google "must have applications nexus one", you'll get everything you need.
1. Dialer One.
2. Fring.
3. No. Buy GPS navigation software.
4. SMS Backup for messages, and for contacts - did you understand the concept of Android, keeping the contacts in the cloud?
5. SMS Popup for SMS tones.

Your contacts, calendar, picasa photos, and gmail are all automatically synced with Google's servers over the air. You don't need to back any of that up.

incorrect.

ASTRO File Manager looks similar to Resco Explorer. It's free for now, but they may decide to charge for it later.

Well, it was a short version, yes?
Navigation works properly in some countries, not only in US. Not around the globe. AFAIK, it's currently functional w/o hacks only in US and UK.
Brut hack can be installed to make it work, but it's not guaranteed to work properly.

I am also very interested in this. I did a bit of research, and came across the DriveSafe.ly app. I downloaded it, and have played with it a little bit. It actually works pretty well! You have the ability to turn it on and off, and it has some really cool options like syncing with your bluetooth. Not bad for a free download from the android market.

u could just try the voice command..which gives option to read a sms or email wen it s received...

You can just look in the Market. There is "SayMyName", for example.

[Q] Ignore Calls by Sending Text

The stock Hero dialer/phone allows you to send a pre-determined text message to a caller when you hit the menu button as a call comes in. Is there ANY app in the Market or apk file we can pull from the stock rom to have this feature in CM6?
This feature came in handy quite often.

Bump to the top (or should this be in the apps section)?

Have you tried Dindy? (Can't post a link because I'm a new member but it is in the Market, or search App Brain for it)
I haven't tried it but it seems to have a lot of features and is much cheaper than Advanced Call Manager.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I am actually looking for the ability to send a text manually - like the stock HTC phone program. I want to choose wether to accept, send to voicemail, or text reply to the call.

w00t!
Just found SMS Receptionist in the Market for 99cents that does exactly what I'm looking for. If anyone knows of a free app, please share!

Dunno if these are exactly what you're looking for, but they're both free to try out
SwiftReply Free and SwiftReply Lite relatively the same name but they're made by two different people

I actually tried the Free version, but it didn't actually work. No option ever popped up for me to decline and send a text. And when I set it to automatically send, it never sent anything at all. The lite version only has the auto feature which declines all calls (not what i'm looking for).
Thanks though

This is a free app that does something like what you want, I think.

Excellent find! So far, it seems to be working as advertised. Needs more polish, but functionality trumps looks any day,

Agreed, I'm glad you like it!
