So, I've been looking for a way to control your hero with your voice, like you can with the iPhone 3GS, where you can do just about anything by just telling it to do it.
Ofc i've searched an googled, but the only thing i find is "google talk / google voice" which AFAIK is a sort of IP phone which uses Internet to call with your special google number, which apparently is very cheap(closed beta though)..
anyway, is there an app for talking to your phone to make it do stuff?
I think i've seen a movie somewhere on the Internet where a guy speaks to a android devise and the phone types exactly what he said into a SMS Message without any wrongs... anyone else know about this?

I'm not sure but I think what your asking is in Android 1.6 check out the link below and you should see voice action start at 1:05 in the video.

Thank you, thats exactly what I was looking for
However only one part.. You know of a app that types what you say in like SMS and other textfields?(Or is this embedded with Android 1,6?)
When is the 1,6 release anyway?
1.6 is already out. We're waiting for someone to cook the ROM to be use in the Hero. The Sprint HTC Hero comes with 1.6.

Android 1.6 is being released for all Android phones starting last week. The new phones coming out should be or will be released with the newest rom available, thats why in this case HTC hero for Sprint is 1.6. The Hero is not due out until the 11th of Oct. i think, Android 1.6 is just the rom that was available for this phone.
The Speak function you asked about to run apps was released in an earlier Android I think Cup cake. The Text to speech TTS is a function released in Android 1.6. The video you seen I think I saw on a google video showing things possible with cup cake I think it was going to be in one of the roms to come, I will see if I can find that Video and post it later.

What can I do with this phone other then what it does out of the box?
Theres so little information and work I can find on it.
hey buddy,
there isnt alot of things that can be done with the phone right now.. which company do u have it from?
the first would be App Unlock your phone to be able to install applications .. jsut search on google "app unlock S620" and follow that procedure...
I have a wm6.0 running so i have a couple of skins and stuff installed... most of the stuff that can work on the Vox Forums can work on libra as well. besides the roms ofcourse.
if you got any other questions holla for sure... i know it was a pain for me to find any information on the phone!

surprised me too! the poor phone still doesn't have enough ram and is missing wifi, otherwise it would be perfect.
I just picked up one of these phones yesterday and am still getting used to not having a touch screen. If I'm not mistaken this phone does have the GPS. What's the process for getting it to work with Google Maps, etc?
Thanks
no this phone doesnt have gps....
it has the processor which is needed to have gps... but apparently it doesnt work with any company...
iv looked around for a fix .. but no one has found out one...
and 5800 doesnt have wifi built in either

Don't worry, your phone will still remain unlocked.
alright sweet, i was just a little worried because on another site (android forums) a user was saying that it may lose its unlocked status.

You might wanna wait though for upcoming phone in 2010 like Nexus that was rumored to be 199 unlocked but who knows might be less than 400 bux
My point is wait for something better since dream has very limited HW.
well i live in canada and we usually dont get access to nice phone right away, right now i am running an lg neon which is less than desirable. This would be my first smart phone so i will probably get it and keep it till 2011 or so. I appreciate your opinion though for sure.
Could I also get an answer for a thread link to the easiest method of rooting? I have heard about the instantroot.apk, would this work with an htc dream?

If you mean the GSM version then use this guide, it has a nice vid that should help out.
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/22/how-to-root-the-mytouch-3g-or-g1-in-one-click/
Follow each step and dont skip any.The GSM Dream cant be used on rogers or telus i think, not sure if they use CDMA(no sim)
There is no CDMA Dream Never heard of telus but Rogers is GSM fo sho.
i want to use it with fido (fido's parent company is rogers (they use sim)) would this still work? also does this work with all firmwares?
Will what work? If your phone accepts the SIM for the carrier you want to use now then it always will.. If not then you'll need an unlock code. Try the one click root method using flashrec.apk and report back if that doesn't work....
alright cool, im buying the phone on friday so ill report back later. (using the method in the video to root my htc dream)

A rom is like Win7 or linux and recovery mode is like DOS/CMD or maybe safe mode on a PC.The rom is flashed and the recovery mode is needed to flash custom roms from here and to flash themes.
ok sweet, you guys are actually a HUGE help in helping me understand this. So after i follow that video my phone will be "rooted" After that I go to install the latest rom from CG. Do i use the files in the video (the recovery file) or something better out now? also should i use the linda file manager he talks about or astro?

google names the updates after pastries. 1.5 is cupcake (1st version to have a soft keyboard) next is 1.6 donut (supports different screen sizes, new market, a bit snappier) and the latest is 2.0 eclair (what the droid has. not out for any other phones yet. refined browser, car home, and other cool features like navidation, you can get navigation on donut too though trough the market.)

Since I do not have data I probably should not download this because the only internet i will be using is wifi. Does this phone have an option to turn off all data, to prevent accidental usage. (like the iphone)
Since I do not have data in my plan is their any reason for me to get this? i would think that google maps will suffice.
could somone also please exlplain SPL, from what i have read it is somesort of compatibility with roms, how can i check mine and does the latest CGM require a high SPL
So...
1) Does anybody know if the G1 will get an update... ever again?
2) Why is everyone reffering to the NEXUS ONE as the Google Phone... forget that the G1 is the Google Phone straight up/real talk?
3) I know I shouldn't say this but most phones on XDA have faded, will the G1 get like that anytime soon... it's already a year old DX!?
4) WHen is Mozilla FireFox Mobile Web browser posted get here?

1. yes, the g1 and mt3g are getting updates up to 2.6 firmware
2. Nexus One is designed by google itself, hardware and software. htc is just manufacturing it
3. I don't think android phones will fade that easily. Android being such a revolutionary mobile OS, most of these phones will stick

So i discovered the october ota update actually locked the Safesearch filtering option in the youtube app (it's all grayed out). Are there any ways to fix this besides just searching the vids thru the m.youtube site? It annoys me, cuz i can't find my favorite music video cuz it has 'Dickhead ' in the title!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
Might try and uninstall it and get one from another build. Shocked others havent noticed. I dont use it much myself so never noticed. Just checked the one on froyo and its not locked.
Yep, AT&T blocked this. See below for the app from a Fascinate dump. I removed the AT&T one, pushed this using ADB. It's unblocked.
Enjoy!
Thanks for that definitely worked to downgrade the youtube app, but did i lose the HQ button with the old version?

Also I've seen this being an issue on HTC Evo on Sprint, and also one of Motorola's Droids on Verizon so is/was every carrier doing this? It's pretty pathetic. I mean I get the idea of SafeSearch for kids but to have that turned on for everyone? Oh no I might see a video with a swear word! I'm not a child, and the "Being a Dickhead's cool" song is hardly offensive anyway. PS funny song by the way.
1.6.20(E) seems to be having this in every version. I guess the E stands for "emasculated". None of the other Youtube versions seem have the (E).

When I ask Corporate America to become my parent or protect me from evil, you'll be sure to see it in the headlines. Until then, I have two great parents, who have taught me right from wrong and how to act in public and etc.. I don't need some third party to protect me from the evils of the internet.
Give me my uncensored internet! And thanks for the fix Cappysw10!
So I went back to 1.6.20(emasculated) edition and will use the work around to search youtube's mobile site instead of through the app. But what I'm planning to do is try to talk to Samsung about this because I want to see the response. The HTC people have been blaming Sprint about this. But I heard it was fixed in Froyo... so if we can only get that..
What I think actually happened is the guys that wrote the app somehow disabled the adjustment. It could actually be a bug, instead of willful censorship like we are assuming. I've had programs in windows that have grayed menu settings based on some faulty registry settings.
There appears to be an update for the YouTube app in the market that fixes this now. It does allow you to alter the SafeSearch parameters. Check it out.
um can you be more specific about the update? like the full name so i can find it

Some Android phones do support CNAP. So it must be a problem with the software/radio.
Any guru volunteering to help out?
This was a big "WTF, seriously?" for me when I got my Nexus One after having a Nokia N95 for years where this worked perfectly. I've gotten used to it, but I'd love to have the name display again.
Do other carriers do this? People I know using Bell or Telus were surprised or even didn't believe me when I said I used to get name display with my N95, which suggests maybe they don't. Anyone know how common it is for carriers to send the name? I've been with Rogers for over 10 years now and just figured it was a standard thing like with landlines.
I had my SE W810i (best non-smartphone by far) and it worked perfectly. Since then, tried many phones, none of them supported CNAP. Had a nokia that would support it but wouldn't keep it in the call list. Pretty useless when I got missed calls.
I know some android phones do support CNAP. So this is entirely possible. We just need one of the gurus to figure out what has to be done!
I think it has something to do with this file : /data/misc/rild_ril.cnap

I believe Rogers is the only Canadian carrier that offers CNAP/name-display.
I remember the difficulties we had in trying to get it to work on Windows Mobile devices. There was a work-around, but it required , but it required using a specific file (rilphone.dll) from a Rogers ROM for the same/similar device... Maybe we need the /data/misc/rild_ril.cnap from a Rogers ROM for a similar device...
