[Q] Voice Talk

---

Samsung Galaxy Note is my first ever Android phone so please excuse me for what might be something easy to fix and obvious.

Basically, just done a hard reset via holding volume, home and power buttons as I wanted to return the phone to stock because I traded it for my iPhone. I was showing friends the voice recognition software last night and all was fine. However I just went to write a Facebook status and thought I'd try the voice recognition but there's a red line through the microphone.

I've been through the settings and couldn't see anything, so thought I'd try the Voice Talk app again. It loaded up and I gave it a command then it crashed and kicked me back to the home screen where it took a couple of seconds for my apps to show up.

I tried double clicking the home button to which I was greeted with 'say your command'. Gave it a command and it was fine. However once I cancelled it and went to the main menu of Voice Talk, it locked up and threw me out again.

Any ideas?? I know not many people use it and I probably won't, but I would like it to work just for them random occasions when you want to mess about.


Please be as beginner friendly as possible

Oh, and I'm running stock... far to early to start rooting when I'm still getting used to everything after 4 years with Apple.

Ok.. I took the plunge and did a factory reset through the 'Privacy' app and now it works again

Didn't have much to lose as I'm still waiting for my SD card so I thought I might as well.

However, once I connected to the market I had a notification saying I had a firmware update available. I was already on 2.3.6 and after applying this update I'm still on 2.3.6!?

Could someone please reassure me this phone is definitely running stock rom and latest update?

your FW is stock n you have latest ROM installed.
Just keep in mind when you update not necessary gingerbread version also update(2.3.6).
look to build number XXLB1, so your ROM version is known as LB1 (latest)

Thanks for that, some less worrying now. I'll see how it goes this time - hopefully just a one off glitch.

I was just a bit worried about the 'Kernal' as it looked like it had an email address in the middle of some gibberish code. lol

This is absolutely normal
Your ROM is XXLB1
Your Kernel is XXLB1
Baseband (Modem ) is also XXLB1
it is perfact n latest

Voice command doesnt work only when accessed from double press home key

Hi, i have a bit of a problem with note voice talk. i hope its ok to ask here since this is about voice talk.
I am on Stock ICS, rooted. I am a bit confused. voice talk works fine if i open the application, say "hi galaxy", activate it and give my command.
however.... if i access voicetalk by double pressing home key. It wont accept any command as if the mic is mute i have to press cancel, say "hi galaxy" and it will work normally. anyone have any idea what happen to my voice talk and how to fix it?
thanx before

i am also prompted to update my firmware.is this absolutely necessary? will i still get ics ota even while my phone is sitting on kernel xxkk9 baseband xxkk5? reason i am reluctant to update is : i have a lot of app (games) that require over 1GIG of data files. im worried if i update i will lose all that info...

can i update without losing all of this?


or one more question, i recently bought fifa12 ..i notice that today the app has an update in google play. will updating this mean i have to re download data files again?

silly Qs i know , but please enlighten

Official updated and non wipe version of stock rom won't erase data.
Play update also won't.
