I did the same thing today, and no gas prices button, as far as the voice search is a setting i believe. open live and go to settings, voice command on/off is there
the page cannot be found, check the name and try again

Use that wls.live.com address through your phone browser connected to cell data and not connected through wifi and you should be able to download it. I just tried and it works great. I didn't know what I was missing. The sattelite images look better than the google maps app. The page wouldn't load for me either when I was trying through wifi.
i only use wifi....i dont have a data plan...what happens now?
Here you go: For those of you that want gas prices back.
thanks sugar lips!
yo what the hell...lol....the reason i uninstalled it to begin with is because it stopped connecting...and i just installed it...and it still doesnt connect....i only use wifi and my pie works...and so does everything else..
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.
Guys quick question, runnning stock 2.1, or a custom 2.2, My navigation would use the default voice I set in settings, it also said street names.
Since using CM7 I notice Nav is using its own voice selection and not reading street names.
My GMAPS is upto date.
What is going on?
In order to get the street names read to you, I always had to install a text to speech library from the market. It has always prompted me to do so the first time I started Navigation. It doesnt show up in my apps list, so I am not sure of the exact name.
There's a CM7 sticky for this kind of thing.

No excuse for double posting it.
Please do not double post.

Just investigating which one are you using for your Android phone.
I have tested Sygic which is nice but FC is high and Motonav which has good maps but UI is really bad...
So if you could help me to decide and tell me what is available for our andoid hd2 would be nice.
tnx
I use the Google Navigation, works quite good.
Only downside is that it doesn't show the speed.
I've also used Sygic Aura, but I didn't like it.

other downside is that it isn't offline navigation and uses phone data connection for maps.
I've tried it also but didn't tell you that i need "offline" maps too in the first post

I use also Google Navigation, and it is very simple and usefull.
I use Navigon at the moment, quite good but doesnt always take you the way you want to go, but all sat nav's suffer this. The trouble of knowing local roads I guesss
Im using sygic without any issue,but make sure you are using v.8.24 !
Hope it helps ;-)

If you plan your route at home, it will cache the maps needed,
so this way it works offline.
But I don't know for sure, and if you change your route, you will need a data connection.
While I was googling this, I found mapdroyd.com
seems to be Google Maps, the offline version (haven't tried myself)
I've tried most of them, but found iGo MyWay to be the best by far.
hi

How did you get it on the HD2? Do you have to be running Sense?

Ah, I couldn't find it on the Market, and I was reading and thought it might be affiliated with HTC Sense or something.
Google maps will come with an offline version soon. http://www.androidworld.nl/84790/google-maps-navigatie-binnenkort-met-offline-kaarten/ (dutch link) This will save a lot in data traffic. I hope they add speed and speedcams to it as well.
The most usefull part of google maps for me is the very acurate traffic information, by far the best I've seen.
i use Aura sygic, it's the best GPS i've try on Android 2.3.3, can use it offline, just download maps before.
I have only used google navigator. I was most impressed by its ability to track my location and announce voice prompts when the screen is off, which saved a lot of the battery and the necessity to have a dash/windshield mount.
i use Copilot live. but i missed my iGo and tomtom on winmo
Try nDrive, it's ok, but I preffer Sygic

Hi,
Got my LG Watch R yesterday and still sorta getting to know it, but last night around 2am, I got a notification saying "16mins to Work", despite not working and being a student and directing me to a place I've never been before.
I don't even know when or how I set this notification (if I did) or how google thought I would want to go there.
I think it may be a notification from google maps, as there is an option to navigate when you swipe to left a few times which opens google maps on your phone.
Any help would be massive appreciated.
Hi,
It's an information coming from Google Now and I never found a solution to stop it. In Google Now you can settle your Home and Work location and it works with these. Unfortunately, even if you don't give a Work location, it sometimes comes up with an info anyway... :silly:

Thanks man, seems you're right. Opened the google app and I can see it there. This is very annoying, what if you don't go somewhere everyday or you're off from work? It seems theres no way to even mess with the notification settings.
