Can anyone recomend an offline (I mean without connecting to Google Voice) application for voice dialing. I believe starting from Android 2.2 it is supported.
I've just installed NAND HDFI rom by gauner1986 if it is relevant.
I am looking for an application where I just press button on my bluetooth headset and say the contact name to dial. If the app can read aloud new SMSs and emails it's even better .
I actually found an application Choice Dialer Plus which does the dial via bluetooth with one problem though. I cannot launch the app with my bluetooth handset button. I have to touch the phone to launch the app and then will give command to dial.
I know my handset works alright as I just upgraded from WM6.5 where I had Microsoft voice commander.
It looks I am missing something in the android.
Do I need another application which can listen to the handset or I need something else installed to the android?

You can try my app. It works offline. Application is named VoiceButton. You can find it in GooglePlay.
I think this is what you need.

Thank you, Denis.
My question was from 2011, LOL.
I don't have the HD2 anymore but thank you anyway.
Hi all,
I'm looking for an app that will send the location of a WP8 phone by SMS when mobile internet is not available.
Even better if the app could respond to a SMS received.
I know there where apps like this for Windows Mobile 6.5 but haven't seen any for WP8.
Thanks,
JW

This is impossible for two reasons...
1) There is no API which would use services that cost you money on your behalf (well, except data connections, but when you turn it off, it stays off). Consequently, there is no way for apps to legally intercept SMSes.
2) Some mobile operators do not allow the usage of such apps, to prevent traffic overflows.
You can, however,. find apps which allow you to send location through SMS manually.
Well, no way for a third-party app in the store. It's actually possible with homebrew on interop-unlocked phones. I've considered writing a demo app for how to intercept and send SMS programmatically.
Wouldn't help unless you have a phone that can be interop-unlocked though.

This is not correct. Windows phone uses SMS intercept as a backup to trigger app download, location reporting, and remote ringing (aka find my phone) with capabilities ID_CAP_SMS_INTERCEPT_AGENT and ID_CAP_SMS_INTERCEPT_RECIPIENT. The API function to send an SMS is, logically enough, SmsSendMessage (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee498244.aspx). There are no laws that prevent intercepting SMS messages on the device to which the SMS is sent.
That's a CE API, not an NT one... it may be present on WP8 (un-modified, I mean; obviously they have *some* API for sending SMS) but the documentation you linked may be incorrect. In any case, I would be very interested to know what capability is required to use it... that would allow a wholsesale replacement of the built-in SMS utility, potentially (on capability-unlocked phones).
However, what I suspect mcosmin222 meant is that there's no such *public* API and no app that did that would ever be allowed into the store...

Thanks for all the replies. Gave me some more insight.
In the new Lumia Black software, there is this "Driving Mode". There you have the option to have auto text replies to incoming calls AND text messages.
So it looks there is some kind of API but probably not publicly available?

Legal way in the context of the marketplace.
There's legal APIs and illegal APIs, and anything which has to do with SMS (aside from Sms compose task) is illegal on the marketplace for the average developer.
There is obviously an API which allows WP8 to send SMS, but that is contained only for internal system use.

The app that might be of use to find which hidden API calls could be used to intercept SMS messages is the Nokia's "call + SMS filter" (http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/call-sms-filter/c459945b-d93f-4aae-9207-c6ab1d971357). But the unknown is whether or not that would work on non-Nokia's or could it work on all WP8 devices (I'd install it on my Ativ S to copy its content, but unfortunately it's FS access has been blocked with me installing GDR3, the developer 10521)...
Samsung has their own. Its called "call blocking"
Is it possible to develop an application by using the SMS to get the location?
I am sure this topic has been raised before but I just cant find anything. Anyone that has had an iphone before may be aware of the VIP feature which is nicely intergrated with the mail app. If a contact is a VIP the email is presented as a popup on the lock and home screen. I have been looking high and low for something like this, either in a mail app that has exchange active sync capabilities or an secondary app, for example a great example of such an app is popup notifier (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nlucas.popupnotificationslite) but its filtering simply sucks. In other words its all or nothing you can not nominate contacts to see notifications from.
Does anyone know of such an app, free or otherwise its something that I live by.
for anyone looking for this enotify seems to do the job ok - does not work with active-sync (exchange) but has EWS and IMAP.

I use Touchdown for my corporate mail. Not quite what you're looking for feature wise but it does have one neat trick up it's sleeve I find useful. You can create a client rule (based on subject, sender etc) that speaks who it's from & optionally the subject line.
I regularly do on call so find it useful to get an audible alert if mails arrive into a specific folder or from a specific set of users.
Also if I connect my phone to my motorycle helmet via my Garmin and put it in Car Mode I also get audible alerts if I'm on the road.
I'm wondering if you get all notifications on the Gear live or only the apps that had been updated to work with the watch?
I'm specially wondering about 3er party SMSs clients and other like Whatapp and Instagram that I use a lot.
Thanks
All apps. Essentially any app that generates notification on phone.
You can select apps from which you don't want to receive notification on watch thru android wear settings on your phone.

As stated in google io:
Wear plugs into the 4.3+ notification system. Any notification generated will get converted to a "wear" notification/card
Additionally, any apps that use "notification actions" (not sure what the offical name is) such as; "delete" and "archive" in gmail notifications will get converted to "action buttons" in wear that call the exact same code on the phone, thus producing the same results. This is useful to remember for apps that have notification actions on your phone but haven't updated to support wear.
Additional functionality such as "display extended cards" or "stack multiple notifications" (including the thing that hangouts can do where tapping would bring you a history of the chat on the watch itself) or "reply by voice" types is what would require an "update to the code"...THIS is what people are looking for in apps that "update to support wear".
[**] for instance, whatsapp notification would show up, whatsapp does not have any notifications action buttons on my phone so all I would see is "open in phone" (probably) as a button in my wear device. If they update the app we could tap the wear card to see the full conversation (including the full message rather than just what you would normally see in the notification slide on your phone) slide to the right to get a button to "reply by voice".
It uses the new notification access thingy. All notifications get sent to watch. Can exclude apps

When I'm at home by myself I need to use my bluetooth earphones/their built in mic together with live transcribe/speech-to-text a lot (now found under the accessibility menu, because for some reason giving it a home screen icon wasn't acceptable? Ugh), but I also often need to use my phone for other things (as one does).
Only problem is the app stops when put into the background (presumably because Google likes to make apps useless in the name of privacy and/or security...)
Is there a way to send apps like this to the background (in the sense that they aren't displayed on screen all the time) without suspending them or without pausing the mic/listening or something, using root/adb?
