Motorola Atrix 4G :: Voice Quality After Upgrade To GB 2.3.4?
Jul 26, 2011
what's the verdict on the voice quality with noise suppression set back to "normal"? People that I've called seem to think it's acceptable now (haven't been asked to repeat myself), but if asked to choose, they do still believe that the "off" setting provides a better sounding voice, i.e. less muffled.
My photon is my first Android phone. I'm generally happy but have to say that voice recognition is atrocious. It's effectively unusable. It can't even recognize me saying "yes".My previous phones were a WinMo Treo Pro, preceded by a Palm OS Treo 750. Both had decent voice recognition. I was actually impressed with the WinMo recognition quality, although the functionality was limited.
I have noticed that the video playback, on the Lapdock, can be really clear, sharp and smooth. Other times it can be a little laggy, not as clear and blocky. (It changes between the two every 5 to 10 min.) Sometimes I've seen a message pop up that says something like, the video is not optimized for mobile. This is streaming thru Firefox, using HBO GO website. (I haven't had a chance to check this with netflix.) I've tried to let the buffers feel up for a few minutes as well.
I just got my Atrix 2 yesterday in hopes of it replacing my iPod touch as a music and phone device.I loaded up my stuff and went to my car to test it out (obviously through the headphone jack) and I was dramatically disappointed. I went straight to Amazon to look at the price of the latest iPod model! Sounds like a muffled tape deck.There are just plain out frequencies that are muffled or missing on the Atrix 2. Does not take a good ear to hear it either. I wish I could sit down with every person who looks at this or a Motorola engineer to show them.
I am using a Blue Ant Q1 Blue Tooth headset and updated to the latest firmware on it. Now when I tell the Blue Ant Voice command the command 'Phone prompt' it connects with my Blackberry Torch 9800 Nuance Voice command option with no problems.Now when I tell the Nuance voice command the numbers of a phone number I want to call, it will repeat it back to me to verifying the number. Now the numbers are clear when the voice command repeats the number I want to call.I swear it really sounds like the very first computer voice ever created, it's all garbled and muddy like. No real clarity in what it is repeating back to me.It is very hard to make out what the voice command is repeating back to me to verify the word I used to describe the number I want it to call.Now, I shut off my Blue Ant Blue Tooth headset and tried the Nuance voice commands with my phone only and I get the same poor quality computer animated voice issues coming out of my Blackberry Torch 9800.Is this normal, I sure hope not, after purchasing what I consider a top quality cell phone. I would expect more clarity with this software from Blackberry and Nuances.This is the one feature that I really need for a cell phone to perform well for me, since I am on the road a lot for my business and needs handsfree dialing.
Does someone know of a program that can speak the name of the caller just like every nokia does?
I have tried voice id caller and smsreader and neither works.
Voice id caller at least sounds a prefix you can customize, but not the actual name of the caller. I wonder if it depends on a specific ringtone. My ringtone is a minute long.
I will have a trip to Asia, but still would like to use my Atrix with wifi only when I was on my trip, so that I will not be charged the romaining service for either voice or data. I know I can disable my data service from the setup option, but no idea how to disable the voice service temporally?
Has anyone found a good third party app that will allow you to have visual voicemail on the Atrix? I had it on my old HTC Android and I really miss it. I tried one third party app but it required me to forward all calls to voicemail (no opportunity to answer any incoming calls)
had my Atrix for 4 days and love it (after returning an iPhone 4 after 3 weeks). I've also spent 4 days trying to figure out why I can't get my properly paired Atrix and handsfree speakerphone to voice dial at the touch of a button on the visor. Motorola's website of Atrix accessories says that it should work. I've tried several models and brands, and none worked properly. Today I found the solution! The Atrix won't voice dial if the phone is sleeping/locked.Once you enter your passcode or fingerprint, it works flawlessly.
I'm currently using my atrix 4g outside the usa and im also using a simcard from a different provider (a local provider in the country im at) My question is when ICS soon becomes available, will i encounter problems upgrading via OTA? if yes how can i upgrade to the official ICS OS?
there is update for my phone my present is this Andriod 2.2.2 there is up date for this and it only can be download from a WIfi connect. my wifi connect is low or not here is there a different way to get in my phone?
My bluetooth keeps disengaging especially after transferring between a phone call and listening to music. Voice activated dialing takes forever to boot up on my Atrix.
Mine is a all new Motorola Atrix 4G. Its since 2 months i had purchased.Since two days it started to give issues while talking calls. I am not able to hear the voice of caller. But the caller was able to hear properly without any issues.However, When I try to call any customer care phones, I am able to hear the automated voice too.It does not to make sense to me why I am not able to hear the callers' voice (only if it is humans).
I recently added Bluetooth to my 2011 Toyota Tacoma by installing: a Pioneer DEH-P6200BT, the handsfree steering wheel buttons, and a
PAC SWI-PS (interface between the steering wheel controls and the Pioneer). Everything works as expected except that the Voice Command button doesn't seem to do anything. I'm pretty sure the PAC SWI-PS is programmed correctly. the On Hook/Off Hook buttons work as do the audio control buttons. But the Atrix doesn't respond to the Voice Command button.
Is it possible change the voice recognition engine on the swype keyboard from Vlingo to google? For some reason it is not working after I updated my Vlingo to the latest version.
New to the forum. I've had an Atrix since April and love it. Looking forward to the 2.3.4 upgrade. I'm having an issue when connected via bluetooth to my 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I frequently get a "Voice Command Application has stopped unexpectedly" error. I then have to force close. Typically it's impossible to make or receive calls while connected. Other times everything works fine.I never had this error when I was connected via bluetooth to my previous car.
i am user of Motorola Atrix 4G.each and every thing which we need is available in the smart phone.but recently i heard about the cancellation of up gradation of android 2.3 to 4.0.A single core phone with less ram then the atrix that came out around the same time that has 4.0.4 while Atrix 4G is Dual core phone why Motorola stuck it on Gingerbread?me and my friends which are using Motorola Atrix 4G are very disappointed to hear about this cancellation...we dont want to change this awesome cell phone only for this reason.its our humble request to take back your decision and launch the up-gradation of Android 4.0 for Atrix 4G.
After a recent upgrade I noticed I cannot initiate a call via my bluetooth with the phone locked. I was able to do it with the earlier version. Using Plantronics Pro bluetooth. Is this a proprietary block to aftermarket bluetooth devices?? Is there a setting I am missing. Oh, I checked the box under Location and Security for Bluetooth Bypass, which, I thought would have taken care of the matter since it directly addresses the issue, and is new to the list.
Is there a way to change/improve the notification of voice mail. Compared to all my previous phones, the notification system is awful. All I want is simple specific audio alert and obvious visual notification when the phone wakes up, a feature I had on most of my previous basic cell phones.
Just recently my voice-dial over my bluetooth stopped working - when I hit the button on my headset, all it does it redial the last number I had dialed. I'm not aware of any phone updates since it last worked. I've powered the phone off and on and still no luck. It was bad enough when I had to "wake it up" in order to use it. This is very frustrating - when I'm driving, I'm on the highway. I'm not stopping regularly for traffic lights so I can dial!
their echo during any call, overall speaking quality is very bad. No one can't hear me form my xperia z2 and I have latest firmware update 23.1.a.1.28 is a problem hardware or software.
I recently restored my iPhone 5s and now Siri is using a very robotic voice. It's very low quality and unlike the human voice she had before. I've downloaded and enabled "Enhance Quality" as some people suggested, but it's not working.
My wife received the notice today to upgrade to GB OTA. She accidentally hit download, but must have been on Edge signal. The down load is at the very beginning, but is asking her to connect to wifi to finish the download. Is there away to cancel the download to upgrade later? I tried powering off the phone and going into the phone status menu with no luck.
My Atrix 2 (on AT&T) operating system was upgraded to 2.3.6 this morning and since then it has been continuously rebooting (going off then on again) every few minutes. I have removed the battery and replaced it. It still did it. I have NOT done a HARD reboot.
I am also getting the "Process system is not responding" error message and a blue bar that says that it is having trouble connecting to the network.
UPDATE:
After hours of rebooting, (I had it charging throughout the time) it has stopped and is acting "normally". I am worried that it will start again and I don't have a fix.
Here I am, 2 weeks later and it started continuously rebooting again. No new updates, no new apps, no new anything. What I did notice was that the battery was below 20%. I have plugged it in and will wait to see if it stops by itself again. The fix described below is requiring too much from a non-technical. I do not have Motoblur. My calendar and contacts are backed up to my gmail account and LOOKOUT.
It continued to reboot for over a day. I went to the AT&T store. They gave me a new phone!
i have a stock AT&T Atrix shipping version Blur_Version.4.1.26.MB860.ATT.en.US. im planning to SIM unlock it and send it to the Philippines. Is it possible to update to version Blur_Version.4.1.57.MB860.ATT.en.US to Blur_Version.4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US and to Blur_Version.4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US here in the Philippines? what should I do?
Is anyone else have erratic signal (dropping to Edge more and/or lower bars of 4g) after the ICS upgrade? Also when it does switch to Edge the AT&T in the upper left goes away for as much as 5 seconds--and during that time the phone has nothing at all--and does the sam thing when it comes back. I've done and FDR and cache clearing during the upgrade...just trying to see if I'm the only one or not?
First off, let me just say that I am very pleasantly surprised at how well the ICS upgrade went for my Atrix2. First off, the upgrade itself went smoothly and I lost no data. Second, the phone seems much snappier in all respects. Third, I like some of the new features that ICS provides.
One question I do have is whether it is possible to change the applications that are available on the lock screen? For example, I use a popular third party app for my camera (CameraZoom) and it would be nice to be able to access it from the lock screen instead of the stock camera.
