Is it possible for Always Listening Tech to be on this phone in the future? - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

? Can you explain a little bit better what you want to do?

Haitu wants to know if you can say something like "Ok Google" and have the phone wake up without having to touch anything like the Moto X. Unfortunately, people are reporting I'm other threads that this feature is not available.

Unfortunately not... Only Google phones can do this

Not quite. My S4 with a custom cyanogenmod rom does it too. So it can be possible.

There is an app on the play store called open mic +. It will give you this feature and because of the many mics present on the HTC One m8,it should work well

All the 3rd party apps I have tried are extremely slow compared to my moto x or my tablet running Google Now Launcher. Its a nice feature, but dont find myself using it that much, and its more of a gimmick.

One thing Google needs to improve - Podcast integration

I love ICS, especially for the small things like the Google Music controls on the lock screen (even the secure lock screens). but, it makes their podcast app Listen look even more dated than it already was.
i know there are quality third part podcasting apps, but you guys think Google will touch this soon? Will they add features like speed control, drag-able organization, and quick controls on the lock screen? Or will they finally integrate podcasts into Google Music?
Anyone have any insight?
As far as I can tell, Listen is dead. A good replacement which I use is Pocket Casts. It's well worth the low price.
BeyondPod has my vote for best podcast Manager.
I just have it use my Google Reader feeds to transition from Listen.

Beyond Pod is what I use as well. Not a real polished app but definitely gets the job done. Easy to setup and can automatically download new podcasts and delte old ones from storage.

What makes BeyondPod so much nicer than Listen? I mean i'm open to paying for a great app and such, but Listen has yet to demonstrate any huge flaws that I've felt the need to replace it.
Very curious what has made others dump Listen/pay for a replacement.
i love listen but since labs has been shut down so is further development of listen. i still use it though. im just very used to it.
Just use Pocket Casts best app on the market for podcasts and they have just amazing support team,,,, amazing support team... I can't say it enough.
I do a lot of podcasts and have tried them all, the one that works great for me is dogcather

Its 'doggcatcher'
Yeah my favourite too. If anyone has tried windows phone 7 you'll know what good podcast integration is.
I think it needs to be integrated into Google music. Maybe their working on it.

I got it for free via Amazon's App Store promotion. However I feel bad for getting it for free now. Apparently, Amazon asked them if they wanted to be a part of the Free promotion; Amazon gave them a bunch of numbers about why this would be good for pocket casts, how it would increase sales overall, yadda yadda yadda. Well after the promotion, they obviously had a TON of new users (all of whom did not pay nor did Amazon pay PocketCasts), but they really did not make any money and instead had to find ways to support all these new users. With that said, I probably never would have downloaded (and tried) the App, so while I didn't specifically give them money, I recommend it all the time and encourage users to buy it. I'm super upset that Google cancelled updates/support for Listen but I can at least hope that 3rd party developers such as pocket casts can cash-in.

Try, preferences, headset, pause audio.

So sad that Google doesn't support Listen anymore.
I've tried almost every similar app but I always go back to Listen for one reason: no other app lists podcasts by date/time added.
I hate the way some apps place the number of unlistened items next to the podcast's name, forcing you to check every item individually. I just want a single, chronological list.

Listen was abandoned long before Labs was axed. The affiliated Google Groups page was forsaken by the developers 12+ months ago.
This is especially curious since Google Analytics must show how widely used it is.

Siri app.

Checkout speakoit in the market...
Try iris from the market. It is free, and i think you will like it, but i believe it is still in alpha.
Hope this helps!
vlingo
free in the app store...works pretty good too
When i read your title, i thought you have some idea about Siri like android apps for my Desire Z
...
Vlingo is the best imo. Iris is barely halfbaked

Android's had a Siri-like app since the G1 on Day One. It's called "Google Search." :3
Try Alice. Its pretty early in development but promising.

I know right! Amazing how apple blows something so rudamentary and "done before" way out of proportion and then claims others stole the idea from them...I predict 2012 will not bode well for apple...and google has something up its sleeve for 2012..

"Dragon Go" app, if you're rooted and using "swype" it automatically shows it under the "other apps" section in the latest ota from Nuance(company that bought/owns swype). FYI, Nuance & "Dragon" are the developers of "Dragon Naturally Speaking" software, the #1 dictation software on the market today-and are also the company Apple contracted to help build "Siri" for them(so I'm told-have not confirmed personally though). They're software is amazing on PC, phone is no different-haven't found out if dragon dictation can be done through Dragon Go to PC yet though...
Try Alicoid. It is as close as you can get by now.
Device: HTC Desire Z
Rom: Virtuous Quattro RC3
Clockspeed: 1.2 gHz

try Assistant in the market
You want Evi, it is very similar to siri

Samsung Remote App (tv remote control) not working on one X

Anyone know why? It won't even install from the apk. And its the only phone in the list of phones i've owned when i go to the android market on my pc, that says its incompatible with.

Samsung must have declared something in the manifest that makes the market think HOX is incompatible. Might be the resolution, or something else. The solution - never buy anything other that a vacuum cleaner from Samsung

Same here, although it doesn't do everything Samsung Remote does. The app also stopped working a while ago on iOS 5.1, so apparently they don't give it much thought.
Its 2.2.5.

Smart Stay

I've seen that the SIII ROM has been lauched and allready the S-Voice apk was posted on the forum.I was wondering if somebody has the Smart Stay apk and will it work on the HOX?
I might be completely wrong, just speculating but i think that they would make a feature like part of kernel/ROM so it wont be readily available :/ I hope it does become readily available !!
Yeah i was thinking about that too,otherwise i think that the developers would launch the app allready.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Yeah, I wouldn't think It's just an Apk you can use, It's probably built well into the framework
Guys, you might want to check screebl app in Google play, it does keep screen on while depending on phone's axis orientation.
But yes smart stay is much better Lol.

Supertube and pvstar are not working do they work for you?

Hello. I recently purchased my note 3 coming from a HTC sensation one thing I noticed it that one of my favorite apps supertube would no longer work with my new note 3. When I play a video in it and press the home button the video should keep playing in the background but it isint.
So I then tried pvstar and the same issue happened when I leave the app the audio stops even tho its supposed to keep playing. I have used these apps for a while with my sensation so is it that they just don't work with the note 3?
Would you mind testing them out on your phone and see if they will still play?
Thanks

I have same issue on my s3.
On my old Galaxy Trend supertube was working fine but now i face same issue as you i hope someone knows a fix.
One easy solution is multiwindow. Then make the YouTube window really small.
i already found the solution:
use viral its much better and does the same thing.

Was just about to reccomend viral. Since supertube was taken down from the playstore and viral works perfectly with the Note 3.
