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 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.

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.
The notification icon is a grey "i" in a grey circle.
Will uninstall whatever it is.
edit: went thru the latest astro apk and the notification icon was not in there, so its probably not astro.
I use astro and have never seen this. Not sure what it is that's doing it, but I don't think its astro.

Quick Uninstaller seems to be the culprit according to this.
This happened to me too recently, thought it was a fluke but after seeing this it reminded me. I dont have quick uninstaller so its not the only one doing it.
Are either of you guys using chrome 2 phone firefox extension, or any programs of that type?
Hmmm....I hope this isn't a security thing with C2DM.

Nope, you have to download chrome 2 phone. It's why I asked if you're using the firefox extention. That's not writting by the chrome 2 phone people and you don't know what's happening on their end.
The c2dm api is present, but you have to have an app installed to receive the intent.
In the Chrome 2 Phone combo, your browser extension sends the intent to the Chrome 2 Phone app, and the app displays the notification.
I can right a "happy buttons" app that I tell you displays happy faces, and that's all you think it does, however I can send ad notifications through the C2DM api and have it show a notification like the one you guys are seeing. All without the Chrome 2 Phone extention/apk combo.

edit: you wouldnt happen to know how i can be notified of voicemails without having the stock sprint apk installed?
Places is part of Facebook -- not sure if you can remove it without removing FB too.
Same deal with Latitude (I think) -- pretty sure its an integrated part of Google Maps that isn't its own program and can't be removed without getting rid of Maps altogether.

Go download Ic3Rom (way back in the Dev thread), then unzip that and pull the keyboard apk out of there. If I remember correctly, it was a basic AOSP keyboard without the voice stuff, or it maybe at least had the ability to turn it off and not have the voice button show up there.

I couldn't get Firefox 4 to show up in the app market, but it seems to load fine as an apk. You can get it here:

Installed perfectly from the web market send to my gtab, which is exactly the opposite of how most of the other apps work for me.
I tried that, but the market doesn't see my gtab as a device to send to, unfortunately.

You can "pull" the website to the left or right and tool bars appear on the sides. The right side has your bookmark, fwd, and back buttons. The left side has your tabs.
Wow, just used the google print cloud add on and was able to print a web page from the firefox browser to my hp2600n network printer. My Gtab is getting better.
Works on my HTC Incredible too. Thanks
The graphics look horrible to me when I go to websites using FF4. I open the same site in Dolphin or the others the graphics on a website look decent, but in FF they look bad. I have not been able to find anything in the config that controls the compression or graphics.
I set up my gtab as a new device from my desktop (sync). I don't see my saved tabs in the tabs on my gtab. any ideas?
Good start for FireFox & I'm sure it will get better as time comes along, but for me I'll wait till it gets better.
Currently I use only 2 browsers: Opera & Angel browser, with Angel browser being one of my favorites (for the time being).
I like the fact that you can type in a custom user agent, I set mine to Chrome Desktop & it works perfect. Tested on Hulu using the Flash Mod & it works fine as well.

Google Messages v--4.1.067 (Ettin_RC12_xxhdpi.arm64-v8a.phone) on Galaxy S10
When I open a chat with a person and tap on the "write a message" text box, instead of the text box coming up simply, the text box comes up AND it gives me the option tray of copy, paste, web search, etc. This is the thing you usually get if you double tap or press and hold. I'm getting it with a single tap and it's kinda annoying. Can anyone reproduce this? Any idea for a fix?
I have the same issue, pops up on both the stock messaging app AND google messages.
This is an issue with the March Security update or at least I hope it's an issue and not something new. I've made a post about it in the S10+ forum but haven't seen many responses to it. For me it happened every time I touched in a text field to bring up the keyboard. I know 2 other people that have the same issue after updating as well. I've rolled back to the February patch for now as it was pretty annoying for me.

So I've been digging into this a little and it appears to be a bug with Samsung's Clipboard History service. I can't figure out how to disable it. I tried disabling a few things using ADB with no luck. If you go into your clipboard history and "Delete All" it will no longer be an issue. I don't know if anyone knows how, but if there's a non-root method to remove Samsung's clipboard service it'll 'fix' the issue for now.

Yeah, I discovered this shortly after my post. I wasn't using the autofill service at first. But if you get rid of your password autofill service it'll go away lol.

Does this happen any where else besides the message app? I was having this issue in any text field that required me to tap in it to bring up the keyboard. I tried both Gboatd and Samsung keyboards and they both did the same. Can't remember if I tried the stock message app or not. I've rolled back to the Feb patch and will keep ignoring the update until it's fixed.

No I don't use Gboard. I just realized my phone sort of does this but I never knew it.

Up till I played around with it upon reading your post I never touched the message area before starting to type, I've never had to. For the heck of it this morning, I touched that area and the paste clipboard pop-up appeared. Like I said, I never see that because I just start typing and never saw it that way.
This has been from the first time I used the phone on the original software.
