[Q] Problem with Voice Actions/Vlingo???

---

I am quite frustrated, and wondering if there is a problem with my phone, or if I could have made some sort of unintentional setting change for my SGS2. I have had the phone for 2 weeks with no problems, but all of a sudden today my Google Voice Actions and Vlingo will not work. From my best assessment, it is not hearing my voice or not hearing it well enough to make anything out. Whenever I speak something into the phone -- and I have done this on this phone and my HD2 so I'm not new to speaking my requests -- it will sometimes immediately come back and say "No Matches Found". Once in a while it will open a browser window, and try to searc for 1 or two or three letter gibberish words: i.e. "bh", or "fns", or "g". It certainly does NOT recognize ANYTHING it used to! Just for fun, I downloaded JEANNIE, which seems to be another voice-action-type program. That also does not work. The microphone icon doesn't seem to light up much (which further makes me think it cannot "hear" me, and the program responds with, "pardon?" Phone calls I make are ok -- people can hear me -- just not these programs!! IS there a setting that I could have changed that prevents the programs from hearing my voice?? BTW, I did try to go to the Voice Actions app in MANAGE PROGRAMS and erased data, but that didn't help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, otherwise I'll take it back to the store and see if they'll exchange it or know what's going on!

Thank you all for your reading this and for your help!

Did you reboot or at least kill and restart the app?

uninstall it and then reintall it i just tested mines and i hav no issuses but ive only had my sinse thursday plus i rooted mines and removed most of the carrier apps

dude vlingo sucks man, the galaxy version is so much better

Does anyone know how, when in car mode, to get VLingo to navigate to a contact (say Home, for example)? You would think this would be a basic function for a hands-free program in car mode, but I can't figure it out. Everytime I say "Navigate to Home", it tries to take me to some Home bakery or something like that. Can I even navigate to an address I give it with this thing?

I know it's been overhyped, but Siri is the one thing from that fruit phone I wish this phone had. Don't get me wrong. I was so close to getting the "other" phone, but opted for the Samsung instead. And after playing around with the iphone, I'm glad I did. But Vlingo seriously makes me want to punch it in the screen sometimes.

Well, I figured out how to get Vlingo to go home. Go to Vlingo->Settings->Voice talk Settings->Home address and type in your home address. Now you can say "Navigate to Home".

But after using it more, I see more problems with it. Vlingo can navigate to restaurants, but not contacts. It can call contacts, but not restaurants. WTF Vlingo?!? Can we get all of the above please in the near future?
