if you want to be able to voice dial, do not buy the htc sensation. the voice search doesn't work with bluetooth, and the phone is incapable of voicedialing. if you manage to get the apk for voice dialing installed,it will only force close on the phone; and other people posting in this forum will happily lead you astray and tell you to use expensive third party apps that will not work anyway. vlingo is the most commonly refered app and though it is free,it is not available for the sensation and if you manage to get it by way of work around,then it will actually ''brick'' your phone. this is a good phone, but the only option i have found that actually works is to use my pioneer z130 car stereo, which saves the contacts to the head unit itself and has its own voice dialing that does work. however, this is the only option.as a car stereo business owner and the holder of a masters degree in computer science,i have tried everything to make it work, but this pioneer stereo option was a fluke. so if you want to use bt for voice commands or voice dial period....by a different device,not a sensation.:mad:

I don't use bluetooth but I can voice-dial just fine.

Just because bluetooth may not work with voice search doesn't mean the phone itself is incapable of voice-dialing.

Mark me as dumb too then, because it won't work for me. I can do anything at all with the google button, from emails to texts, to google searches, maps, etc.

When I do a call command, it searches the web for "call [whoever I said]"

When I hold the call button on my bluetooth headset for 2 seconds, and try to voice dial, it calls but calls no one. no number. gives me to TMO.

I'm not ragging on the phone. It seems it works without bluetooth, but if you have it working with bluetooth, what settings are you using? because the stock android isn't working for me.

Vlingo works fine here.. it didn't "brick" my phone. I use it everyday...

Have you considered that it coups be tire phone malfunctioning, your blue tooth malfunctioning or your accent? All things that affect the reliability of vice dialing.

Pretty weird that you can't seem to accept that voice dialing does work for others...

you are all wonderful liars. i can see this forum is not for honest people. this is a shame. vlingo does not work on the sensation and it will brick a phone. too many of my customers as well as myself have experienced this. and as for the moron who suggested i dont know how to use a phone,bite me. you are not capable of an intelligent thought if albert einstein were pulling your strings himself. you liars are pathetic.if you dont have something constructive to post in reply to my thread stay the [email protected]#$ off of it.especially if you dont know the difference between the truth and an outright lie.

kind of hard to accept that it works for others when the code doesnt exist in the phone and the manufacturer even tells you that the phone doesnt have it. i guess you people got a special shipment the manufacturer dont know about.
