Database Develop

[OFF TOPIC] The off topic thread for (ex) Incredible S users :)

Alright, let's finally get all this off topic chatter out of development forums
Welcome to the place for us to hang out when we want to talk about things other than phones
This is posted in the Incredible S general because its intended for us to talk as an Incredible S community, not in the off topic forum
I think it would be best to keep personal things like where we go to work/school out of this, as this forum is a public place that anyone can see
Also try to keep things clean, as we have young people among us
Any incredible S user is welcome here, don't be scared by anyone Australian, feel free to ask questions too
I'm thinking new topics every now and then, or we can just go where the thread takes us
Again, anyone is welcome, please feel welcome, and if you like, please contribute to the thread
But don't see it as a place to get over your 10 post barrier
If you are spamming to get your 10 posts, we will dob you in
So, what to talk out?

Girls on xda?

Hi I was wondering if there were any girls in the xda community. Ive been hooked up of android since 2009 with my first android smartphone: the HTC Magic, a true innovative product back in the days. Are there other girls who have a strange passion for android(-smartphones) like me? would be cool to find out.
Cheers!

So the OP is girl,but the members replied are boys,including me.

I think there would be few girls here I know some girls who love smartphones but not into modifying

I hope to see a confirmation here that more than 1 girl is on xda : D

My simply saying so may not be enough confirmation for you..
But just a couple months ago in the off topic section... There were multiple girls joining in on the conversation. I can think of at least 4 or 5 girls from just that thread alone. So I assure you... They are present. Lol

Thread Cleaned

I couldn't follow the thread for a few days so I didn't read the already cleaned up postst, so I wanna make everyone clear that I am a girl who's just wondering if there were other girls who were like me and are the odd one out in their friendgroup because of the nerdy interest in smartphone personalising
So there is actually, that's cool to know! Always thought xda and android modifying is more of a men's world... it feels very good to know that there are other girl (devs) out there that are trying and succeeding to put their phones and android software to another level... You go girls!!! :highfive::laugh::good:

Holy crap...it actually worked. I've been checking the settings relentlessly over the past few days to no avail. I checked immediately before doing this and the options weren't there. I searched "okay google everywhere" from the main search bar, went back to home, went to the search settings, and the options were there.
I'm sorry for not believing you lol but that's incredibly weird. Glad to have it though. Now my LG G Watch needs to arrive =P

Fer cryinoutloud it actually worked! Finally I can stop the cryin' and start a-talkin'!
Now if only someone would create a hack that lets us go back to using Hey Google instead.

Normally I'd agree with your point, but here I think this thread has value - if perhaps for only a limited time. I've been reading the other thread religiously, but it -- like many threads lately, has become (understandably) heavily involved with operation on "L". It also branches off on many (valid) tangents on the subject - which is absolutely the point of the thread. However, easily lost in all that is this one simple tip that seems to resolve the one key, basic problem for those of us on KK who have the update & who are otherwise fully compliant and increasingly frustrated -- this gets it to work. So, for the sake of clarity & simplicity, I feel this is a perfectly reasonable & extremely valuable topic for the week or two... or three in which some number of us will be endlessly checking to see if we've finally had the feature flipped on. At the very least, the clarity of the thread title alerts members that some of us may actually need to "Force" it to work.
In other cases I'm not nearly so keen on breaking down subjects to such a granular level.

Go take a nap NaterTots, you're apparently grumpy. Despite what he wrote in the first post, this is a very helpful thread. The other thread didn't even have this solution, and goes about installing various APKs to get it working. In this case, you type 3 words into the app and it now works. Hugely nice.

That I kinda doubt. There was great flexibility in 4.4, but an early update (either KK or Search, can't recall which) cut us back to just OK Google. I suppose they wanted to limit chances of accidental triggers. With hotword everywhere I'd think they have even more of an incentive to keep this limitation in place. Ah well, it's no big deal but I can't help felling just a bit goofy reciting that script. :silly:

Nope no dice :crying:

Lousy 'trick' will only work on after the device is actually enabled. As to country-centred that's why I expected it to still work on UK English. I had only changed to US English out of frustration as I was waiting & waiting for the feature to kick in. I'm not actually in the UK, but I do prefer her speaking voice.

This kind of messed up my voice search. It recognized "ok google" to open up the search but nothing else. I had to delete Search data to get it working properly again. =\
