[FIX] S Voice App "Network Error"

BlackElvis79 · May 21, 2012

After installing the S Voice app, use a root explorer app to edit your build.prop to mimic that of the SGSIII. SEE POST #5 FOR PIC GUIDE.

Change...
ro.product.model=(Your Device)

To...
ro.product.model=GT-I9300

Do the same with line ro.product.device

Save changes and exit app. Reboot device and enjoy.

EDIT: Its been reported that this may cause GWallet not to function!!

For the purpose of disclosure on what was modified, and for those that wish to make the changes manually, you can use apktool to decode the apk, then edit smali/com/vlingo/sdk/internal/deviceinfo/PhoneInfo.smali and modify:
"method public getModel()" and "method public getDeviceID()". Right before the return at the bottom of each function, put: const-string v1, "GT-I9300" (replace v1 with the value the return uses, v0 for getModel, v1 for getDeviceID.

thanks a lot man, but for the noobs like me, would you mind posting the file path to get to the build.prop?

/system/build.prop

Make sure you set /system/ as RW

Thanks for posting this... I'm wondering a couple of things:

- why did it work for a good 13 or 14 hours with no problem, through a few reboots, and never once give a network error -- and then suddenly start showing this, to me and to several other folks round the same time?

- if I modify build.prop as described, what's the potential impact on other operations on my Galaxy Nexus? Will other software get screwed up, thinking it's on a phone that's different than what it's really on?

Thinking about the first question brings me back to my earlier speculation that perhaps Samsung or Vlingo was filtering communication based on the S Voice unique ID -- but that was pretty much disproved. Now I'm wondering whether Vlingo is filtering traffic for this app based on device type, and is restricting it - for the moment - to S3 devices...

Thanks OP. Working for me now, sort of. Weather seems to think I'm in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Only 750 km's from my house. haha

Cheers!

thanks for this

Think420 · May 21, 2012

It sorta works now, but it's still not allowing me to set alarms/reminders via S-Voice

Just a quick question.. Does Lockscreen wake work on the galaxy Nexus?

So far, I've gone thru all of the apps on my device and haven't had any FC's. I'm currently downloading a few from market to see if there's any issues with that.

Hopefully, Sammie doesn't start filtering based on something else.

I usually ask for the weather by, "What's the weather in...?" If I just ask the weather without stating a location, it times out.

I did the above and i don't get a network error but i get a FC when the answer starts to come back from any questions. tks,

If you are getting FCs after making the the build.prop changes and rebooting just reinstall the apk and that should fix everything.
