gayPhone has an attitude problem.
« on: 23 February 2013, 10:18:25 »
Regulars will know of my rants about crApples useless, pathetic, pointless voice dialling feature, that will call everyone in your address book, accept the one you want.

Well, in order to improve matters, I decided to enable Siri - crApple's server assisted Voice Assistant.

So, I'm having a conversation with the phone...

Me: "Call Mrs TheBoy at home"
pause
Phone: "Why, precisely?"
Eh?
Me: "Because I want to speak to her"
pause
Phone: "I can help you"

Siri now disabled again.  I have an old bag at home who is perfectly capable of answering me back, I don't need the bloody phone to do it.

Not really, it's crApple's poor system. I've never had a phone so bad at voicedialling. Even my old nokia was perfect at 100mph on the bike.

The pauses were to be expected, TBH, as was in a 2g only area (well, 2g for a 3GS that doesn't support 3g 900Mhz)

Must admit it is shite with background noise but works OK(ish) for an assistant :-\ :-\

As you managed to prove to me once, if you speak clearly it works fine ::) Perhaps it's your accent :-X

Don't understand why poor signal affects the voice dialling so badly, but it does. :-\

With Siri, it has to go off to Steve Jobs, and ask him.

With Siri disabled, its all on-phone, so should work no matter what the internet is like.

I can understand Siri needing Steve Jobs. But why does voice dialling need web acess at all? The 4 doesn't have Siri, voice dialling only, yet signal drops and no worky. :-\

My clunky 3gs, voicedialling is fast without Siri. Always wrong, but fast.  So not sure why yours should be so shite. Unless crApple built in a facility on the gayPhone 4 that the call could only happen after asking Sir Steve?
