Sorry, yeh i mean't Gingerbread, would be really good if we had it on OMC as it looks as good as Siri

It's only for ICS. It's possible on a non SGS III if you change build.prop. Don't know how to do that though. And it doesn't work in Dutch so no use for me.

I have it installed but it's honestly a massive waste of time/space. For me once I talk to it once it stops doing anything at all. But that's just me

Because Samsung have blocked non S3 access to the server

Yes but it has a fix. Open the build.prop with Es File Explorer for example and change the model of the phone to the samsung galaxy model. In the xda topic for the S Voice you can find how to do it

True, but it takes up so much space, and takes ages to free enough up

Edit: Done some build.prop changes, what does need changing?

Use Speaktoit Assistent instead of S Voice.

I prefer Vlingo, which S voice is based on

It is vlingo, but a worse version in my opinion, it doesn't seem to want to hear my voice more than once

I'm confused.

Samsung are android, no?

Android want to be open and free, no?

So, why is Samsung doing what apple did with Siri and closing access to non s3 phones? That seems pretty closed up to me.

And, yeah. It's rubbish. It's worse than the original vlingo and uses up ten times more room and cannot be moved...

Samsung is a company that uses Android on some of their devices.

They do not have to share any of their innovations.

Lol, they become more like apple with every invention.

Release a new phone with a slightly slimmer design and faster processor. Slate apple for doing the same thing with the iPhones.

Lolwut,

Also, they are becoming so closed up. S voice...

Their tablet range didn't even have the correct android advantages, SD card storage etc... Just like the iPad.

:/ their becoming the company they hate.

Maybe this is why apple is sueing them so much?.. Meh.

I don't see how they become more like apple. There are plenty of voice assistants out there. S.voice uses a lot of Google voice (as far as I can tell) I recommend you download skyvi from the play store if you want a siri(ish) experience on a droid.

Not all handsets are identical and each one brings something new or different to the party.

Anyway what is wrong with apple? They use a similar business model to Google, ensuring their users actually use their products. Samsung is just a manufacturer, why would you choose a Samsung over a HTC if they were the same? I don't understand your argument. :wacko:

No..

I don't mean S voice (although it is just a 'copy' and a bad one at that of Siri. Google now is miles better...)

I meant how Samsung and apple are locked in patent wars and Samsung create android devices.

For some reason, most Samsung users seem content on thinking they have more freedom than iOS users. When, the truth is, Samsung devices are being closed almost as tight as iDevices.

No SD storage on tablets, making it harder and harder to root. Creating silly policies and rules. Closing off programmes they made (althought it looks like they need more work before they can proudly close it off...)

I'm just saying. They use android, which is open source. They are not very open source though. Bei googles biggest helper next to HTC in the android world, they should keep this open sourceness...

All I said was it is ironic how a company that creates devices with an open OS is making them tighter and tighter.

Hang on a second - Samsung also makes Nexus devices (Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus at least) - the most open devices there are...

But to be fair, that's Google's design, not their own...
