IPhone :: When Can We Expect Siri To Be Able To Search For Locations In The UK
Apr 10, 2012
I was pretty surprised that Siri can't search for locations and businesses in Britain yet. I read online that it was expected in 2012, but since we're 4 months into the year already I'm wondering how long it will actually be, surely it cannot be that hard to do?
Siri can't find or doesn't know where or what The Grand Canyon National Park is, or the Mojave Nation Preserve or Yellow Stone National Park or a host of other well know national parks. Is there a fix or a work around for this? Funny since Siri will gladly look up the distance to the planet Neptune but she is completely clueless about National Parks?
I am unable to get response when I ask Siri about locations in Canada The IPhone 4S was bought in Canada but is not able to answer simple questions such as locations or local points of interests.
If preorders are this bad, what should i expect from in store activation? I have work at 4 the day it comes out, do you think it would take less then 3 hours?
For all those who liked reading about Steve Jobs' emails to people, as obnoxious as they often were, I'm sorry to tell you but they are about to end.
Now that class action lawsuits are springing up all around Apple (one even using a SJ email to a customer as part of the supporting evidence), I can assure you that Apple Legal is putting the brakes on Steve sending out any more emails.He will protest for sure, but the lawyers always win.
What I expect and hope Nokia & Microsoft would bring in future Nokia Lumia Phone Updates.The most important feauture to add is a centralized search option which will allow to search the phone, messages, galary, contacts and the web as like the IPhone have.Get a brightness meter instead the options of LOW, MEDIUM & HIG.Option to disable AUTO - ROTATE Screen.Option to use phone as a WiFi Hotspot.Make Zune able to install applications plus improve it to synchronize documents etc.Full Phone Backup accessible from SkyDrive and by PC.Use phone as Mass- Storage Media.Allow Bluetooth to send receive files over other phones and computers.Nokia Drive must include points of interest places with option to navigate directly from Nokia Drive, Integration of google search in nokia maps.More settings option must be included with new features such as message lock etc.
How do I remove a 'wife' from iPhone. I told Siri that my partner was my wife then I married her and changed her contact details and now Siri thinks I have two wives and asks which one when I ask Siri to call or send a message.
Without me doing anything, my (new) HTC ONE M9 started requiring me to SPEAK the necessary text (e.g. passwords) instead of presenting the keyboard where one would normally type the text.
Started with VIBER OUT (when I tried to purchase credit) but now it is pervasive - AY text input is expected through voice.
A small window at the bottom of the screen pops-up (with a mic button and the google logo on it) - I can't get rid of it ...
"Frequent Locations" states that I was in Beijing, China yesterday but I haven't been to China in 4 years. It's very accurate otherwise, telling me my home, work and favourite cafe among other things. I just noticed this one location in Beijing.
Is there a known issue with the Search Screen Keyboard not hiding itself when you leave the search screen in IOS 5.1.1? Ever since I upgraded, if I go to the search screen, then flick the screen back to the first Aps page, the keyboard stays there in the middle of the screen and I have to click the off button off and on again.
Pulled the battery on my phone today and now Browser does not have the options to seach via a search engine. Its just an address bar. Ex. If I type yahoo, it will just go to [URL] It used to show the search engines I could use. Also, in the options it would let me choose my default before, now there is nothing in the options about search engines.
I've been transferring some favourite ringtones onto my E6. Now when you personalise a profile and go to select a ringtone, you are given some location options, Download sound clips, tones, songs and sound clips.
The ringtones aren't songs so I'm not saving them with my music otherwise the media player will just treat them as music. So that rules out "songs" Tones seems to be a system folder in which the standard ringtones are saved and to which the user is not allowed to even see, never mind access.
So I decided I'll manually save my ringtones in the "sound clips" folder. I have tried saving my ringtones into the folder called "sound clips" which appears on all three drives, the phone memory, mass memory and memory card yet still nothing appears in "sound clips" selection when attempting to select a ringtone.
I hope I'm not missing something obvious here but does anyone know where the "sound clips" folder used by the ringtone selector is actually located?
As an aside, have you noticed when you browse the folders of the E6 using the built in file manager and then do the same from your PC via a USB connection, some of the folders have completely different names. Hardly logical or intuitive and it makes life difficult for numb nuts here trying to find his ringtones.
Finally i got my x10 from SE service center with MB replacement. i need to prevent the problem causing again which was motherboard faulty due to my location is low level gsm signal strength. so what should i set up in the hand set to prevent this?
My phone is a Sony Xperia® Z3v purchased 6/2015.  My question pertains to the different storage locations on the phone.  I hope that I am making my question crystal clear.  About the “Internal Storage” folder on my phone.  I noticed that when I take a picture using the phone’s camera, it automatically puts the picture in a folder called, “Camera.” I can see this folder when I open the “File Commander” on my phone, and I can view the picture this way. Also, I can view this picture by opening up the “Album” on my phone.  I noticed that when I open File Commander, I can also get to a bunch of folders under “Internal Storage.” I can create sub folders in this folder and move my pictures here, if I want to. If I move a picture to this location, it is no longer viewable by opening, “The Album.” But who cares. Not a big deal, as I can always just open the File Commander if I want to see my pictures.  Next – I connected my phone to my PC running Windows 7 and noticed that all the folders are recognized and show in windows explorer EXCEPT the “Internal Storage” folder.  My question is WHERE should I store my pics and videos and other files on my phone so that if the Android operating system were to fail and I had to reinstall it, the files would not disappear? If I make a file system under “Internal Storage” and save my files there, will the files be gone if the operating system has to be reinstalled or if I upgrade to a later version of the OS?
Whenever I'm at school my battery drains exponentially. Today I was writing a final exam and had my phone in my bag for 3 hours, in that time the battery dropped from 80% to 45%. I don't think my signal is the problem because I have 3-4 bars of lte at all times when I'm at school. As for optimizations I'm doing most of the tips erasat provided in his thread. I am connected to wifi too. The battery stats on the phone doesn't show anything is draining my battery. What could be the culprit?
Also this only happens when I'm at school not anywhere else. This has been going on ever since I got my s6 (3 months).
How do I save locations on my Samsung S6 phone other than tagging photos? Would like to go to a saved location and have Google maps audibly tell me how to get there. Do I have to always take a picture? Don't want to do that.
The GPS otherwise known as LOCATION always disables itself. I must activate it many times everyday. Is there a setting that will KEEP LOCATION activated?
Ever since the GB update this super handy little app has been a bit on the forgetful side. Meaning, after I take the time to put a target into the directory for "Shared folders" it has little more than short term memory. All the connection information is lost shortly after I stop using the app and go to reconnect when the data is needed. Is there a cure?
