Hi, I´m not certain that my issue is limited to the Desire but here goes...
Am I the only one experiencing that when I Start up endomondo tracker that after about a second or two my desire opens android market and shows search results as if I had searched for speechsynthesis data?
Well it is difficult to answer, when i dont know the exact app, but the speechsynthesis data from the market is for use with the android tts(text to speech). Is it possible, that this app uses some kind of text to speech to give messages through the speaker?
It is probarbly because the app needs this data file, and it should be fine, if you just install it.
Hope it helps
Yes it does. I use this app. I already have installed the voice to text IME mod which is available in this site somewhere. The app gives you pep talks amd has an audio coach built into it.
Try and install the IME mod and see if that works, as I haven't come across this problem.

(Here you go this is the thread for voice mod)
I have been using the app now for a long time and have text to speech installed, try downloading and installing tts from the market place and then re-launching endomondo

-voicesearch and speech to text. Installed HTC IME KB, Voice app and nothing work. I cant have the keyboard in the list of KB. And voice search doesnt work...(error connex)
thanks a lot
You want WinMo
oh no i dont
For all those questions, yes you do as it does them...the Desire doesn't as yet.
- It has Push for Googlemail, I think there is another app you can use for other account types
- Can't change default apps
- Can't use other SMS software (I don't think, could be wrong)
- Can't tether without rooting (as you've said)
HD2 does all these, some stock some with custom ROMs

- what about the support for Exchange push in the mail program?
-if you install another program, you may be able to. you can remove the defaults for applications in the settings. that's why you can switch between homescreens once you have installed launcher2.apk....
- there's plenty of other SMS software in the market, ChompSMS, Handcent etc.
- yes, you need to root.
But overall, yeah, it sounds like for the kinda stuff you want to do, winmo would be better all round.

Honestly you don't need google Earth it's 22mb and the maps does the same thing!
Also big drain on battery (Earth and Maps) so not something you would want to use all the time anyhow.
Search around for apps as you may find one that does same but for less space.
Also, are you using all the apps? Are a lot of them just games?
Be smart with the limited space.
It's not ideal I know, but until anything changes not a lot you can do.
-Internal memory
Yes, this is a pain. I wish Google would let us put stuff on SD card already without having to root the phone and HTC needs to put less preinstalled crap too replacing it with OTA on demand instead. Teeter? WTH!
-Wifi tethering
Yes, PDANet and some other application allow BT/WiFi/USD tethering with Windows/OSX and Linux. Probably not with iPad because it has no USB, BT is crap (if same as on iPhone) ... not real OS X.
-Push mail through the HTC app...possible?
No. Google's own email app will do push for Gmail accounts only. HTC email will check at specified intervals.
-How can i change the defaut app to open for X action...
You can't, as far as I know.
-Can i use another SMS software with the HTC message widget? exemple when i click new message it open the defaut one...
Yes. There are two very popular ones, but HTC's own is all I need.
-How can i use picasa ? i keep having an error (authentification...) in gallery app.
Yes. Not sure about your error. You can get Gallery app from N1 and use that instead of HTC's Photos.
-voicesearch and speech to text. Installed HTC IME KB, Voice app and nothing work. I cant have the keyboard in the list of KB. And voice search doesnt work...(error connex)
Hmm, by default HTC IME doesn't do voice. I installed Voice Search with Android default keyboard and have that feature now. Although I rarely use it. Swype FTW! Check the forums there was a link to the apk to get it all working.
thanks a lot...for the answer even though some are really mindblowing in the worst way
thx !
yup yup
You've summed up some of the biggest problems with Android and the Desire.
The inability to install apps to an SD card is a big problem - one that can be solved by waiting for root, or by waiting for the next release of Android (I think Google have said they are working on this feature for the next version). Basically, just by waiting.
I use IMAP IDLE with the K-9 email app for push IMAP email from my fastmail.fm account. Works instantly and perfectly. Love it.
Hope this helps a little.

My Applications/Manage Applications FCs on me all the time (it is probably some app installed from apk that causes this problem). Don't see said app show up in APK or ASTRO.
i dont get what u mean
why i cant find any compass in my DHD, is there an apk for the stock rom compass?
what is exactly the voice speak? each time i try to use it, it says connection problem, does it use internet connection? is there a way to use voice to write sms or call a contacts, and how to achieve it?
You can get compass from market.about speach search - tap help in aplication to see comands and video
Sent from my Best DhD
so about the compass can you confirm if the DHD should come with compass app built in, if yes how can i get the original compass, coz when i search the market i get a lot of compass and i dont know wich one is the htc one.
and for the voice command, where to type help, i dont get it
Settings - voice input and output
Sent from my Best DhD
voice input and output is another story man, and settings for this are good and well setuped.
you told me to enter help, where to enter it, and for the compass do u have any comment, can you told me if DHD come with a compass app built in or you are forced to install a third party compass from the market to use a compass feature
Have a look for search anywhere widget and put it on screen,it will automatically give help and video menu on first use
Sent from my Best DhD
ok got the help for voice so what about the compass issue?
It looks built in compass are only in maps and navigation. You want play with it at home?
Sent from my Best DhD
so there is no standalone compass like in winmo or iphone? just wondering
Its no use for standalone compass!
Sent from my Best DhD
Compass by Catch.com on the Market I find to be the best one. Plenty of options, and you can use the calibration tool in it to calibrate your phone's internal magnet. That is a big plus for me as before I calibrated it, the maps were off by about 4 degrees, and the phone itself doesn't have a built in calibration tool.

There is no standalone compass app installed in the stock ROM. I would also recommend Compass by Catch.com.

Hi, i have a HTC Desire unroot and unbranded and fully updated to everything that is possibly out for the device. lately for some odd reason when i use apps such as google map navigation or the new google translate (with the sms translate and convo translate) it has been speaking program codes for the google map navigation and for the google translate, especially the asian dialogs and some other language. Currently have the espeaktt selected for voice output, i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but the same problem still consist. I don't know if its cause the apps are still in beta or is it just me. If its just me can anyone help me and tell me how to fix this problem?
Thank you
From what I understand of your post it does sound like its a bug in their app. If the app is reading you system code instead of the proper directions. It is most likely a problem inside the app. You should report the issue to the developer via the appropriate channels.

thanks a lot for the info. I just tried the google maps navigation with another voice engine and it was fine so if I'm not mistaken i think its the espeaktt app.

As the title says this is a mod to enable google maps with voice navigation outside US. If this has been discussed in the SGS2 thread,please delete it but i tried to search and none found in this forum.
all credits are due to all the people that have made this into a working mod
This is the original thread where i got all the info from :
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007132
Basically i just followed the instructions from original forum and here is the summary of how i did it.
1. made a backup of google maps using titanium backup.
2. in manage application settings, cleared data and stop maps as well as streetview applications.
3.using root explorer navigate to system/app and move the map.apk and streetview.apk files to my backup folder in the external sd card.(just as alternate backup since titanium already made a backup)
4. using root explorer, Installed the maps5.5.0-ownhere.apk which i got from the original forum to the system/apps folder.
5 reinstalled the streetview app from the market.
6. Rebooted and started the maps application everything was running fine.
when i was driving just to test the app..i found out i did not have the voice guidance...
so for voice guidance this is what i did.
1. Go to settings/voice input and output/text to speech settings
found out default engine was on samsung TTS...i changed that to pico TTS
2. Language for spoken text select English UK( to make it same as my
language&keyboard settings)
3. in the text to speech setting i checked the always use my settings box.
Did another test drive...on the phone, i selected the NAV app from the app drawer and voila!...google navigation (beta) successfully launched and was able to give me turn by turn voice guidance.
Pros and cons:
pros:
Alternative free navigation app with voice guidance for people outside us.
Cons:
Needs a working data connection
Obvious battery drainer if not plugged in to power source.
phone gets pretty hot( i guess this app is not optimized for dual core and while it is running..probably both the cores went into high gear) anyway my car dock is located at a position where the aircond can cool the back of the phone pretty well..so mine was not hot when using it in the car.
when exiting the nav app...found it is still running in the back ground and draining battery( got to manually kill it from task manager)
If you guys decide to try this...usual disclaimer: Do this at your own risk
Hi guys. First post for me but I've been reading these forums ever since I got my GN in January. Thanks to these forums I successfully updated my phone to yakju, then takju, and this morning to takju with JB 4.1.1. So...first I want to say thanks.
Second, I do have a question regarding the Sound Recorder app in JB. I noticed it for the first time when it popped up as an option while trying to upload to Facebook. I don't see it in the app or widget drawer. I checked in settings> apps>all and I see it there. Is there a way to add it to the home screen or actually launch it? Maybe I'm missing something and in that case feel free to pwn me.
Thanks in advance...
i too would like to know this, if anyone has any idea?
Just as in previous versions of android, the sound recorder app is not able to launch via the app drawer. If you really want to launch it, there is some code that you can put in to a terminal app, but the app will not actually save sounds to your phone. It is used as an extension of sorts that records sounds into certain apps, messages, etc... If you want to record audio files to your phone check out an app like Easy Voice Recorder on Google Play Store or my personal favorite, TapeMachine Recorder. (Sorry, can't post links yet.)
thanks for this jong31 - this is my first android device so wasn't aware of this particular limitation seen as all my other handsets down the years have always had a voice/sounder recorder built in!
i will go and download from the store now
