Can NOT get voice search to work for sms

when i say "send text to reciepient how are you peter?"
  the entire command goes in to the message OR it brings me to a google search.  What I want to do is have it send a message to someone in my contact list

    Hey gailga!
I am sorry that you are having problems with your voice to text function. I know that I love that feature! Actually, you can find out what exactly to say and how to say it by touching the small ? at the bottom right when you initiate S Voice. For example, for texts, all you have to say is "Text (contact name) message. What's up?" And it will create a new text to your contact name with what is said after the word "message." Find out about more things that you can do in the small ? at the bottom. I would make sure that you speak clearly because the default for anything S Voice can't understand is to do a Google Search. Happy texting!

  • After update to OS4.2.1 I can not get the ringer to work for incoming calls

    after update to OS4.2.1 I can not get the ringer to work for incoming calls. If I set Vibrate on, that's the only notification I get. Tried everything including blowing away ALL my apps and restoring phone to new. Lost all my apps but the ringer still won't ring

    God Bless u! LOL I have an otterbox case on my phone and had no clue that the mute button was there....Thank you so much!! The volume on my movies & everything else worked...even when I would go into "settings" and adjust the volume of the ringtone. I knew it was something simple...Thanks again..

  • Can not get my wireless to work for windows

    Just bought a new macbook pro 15 and used bootcamp to install windows 7 pro. Now I can not get any internet, wired or wireless. Is there any drives I can install to solve this problem?

    Yes, from within Windows install the drivers you downloaded when you first ran Bootcamp Assistant. It was the first menu item in Bootcamp Assistant.

  • Can not get my podcasts to work for users

    Hello, hopefully I have posted this under the appropriate section. I am having problems with my users being able to access my podcasts. The problem is as follows:
    The problem is that the podcasts do not work within itunes as a podcast (the error message in itunes is that the file is corrupt), however they play fine in itunes (and windows media player) when downloaded onto your hard drive then played as you would any music file.
    I have tried the following things:
    -rewriting the podcast.xml file (using a Google tutorial)it is a valid xml feed.
    -reformatting the source mp3s and using completely different source mp3s
    -deleting and re subscribing to the podcast within itunes
    -moving the podcasts to and from my streaming server and modifying folder structure
    None of these methods have worked for me. Is there something I am doing wrong? Something further I need to configure.
    The problem happens on itunes 7 but happened in previous versions as well, I believe the last time they worked correct was itunes 5.
    Thank you
    -Dave

    anyone expireance anything similar?

  • I can not get into the iTunes store for the past two days.  I can do a search on the music in upper right corner.  However, the screen is white with "iTunes" in the middle when I do. Any suggestions?  Thank you.

  • Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode

    Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode
    Hello, I am having problems migrating data from my old PC running XP (SP3) to my new Mac Pro 2012 using the Migration Assistant.
    - I downloaded and installed the Windows Migration Assistant from Apple
    - My Mac recognized PC and displays passcode
    - The sasscode does not show / display on my PC
    - My Mac is then stuck in "authenticating" loop and the PC is stuck "waiting for Mac to connect."
    - Both computers are connected on same network (have connected PC on WIFI and using ethernet to Reuter)
    I have looked on support site and only response I saw says to reinstall Windows Migration Assistant (which I have done)
    Any ideas?  If cant get this to workare there instructions for manually bring across relevant data eg itunes music and apps, photos, picasa data etc?

    Why not turn off the Windows firewall and uninstall any other firewall software you have installed?
    If you are using a Norton product uninstall it and discard it. To fully unistall most Norton products you have to go to the Norton website and download a soecial program to completely get rid of it. The normal uninstall feature built into the program will not remove all of it.

  • Help... I can not get my microphone to work

    Help.... I can NOT get my microphone to work with my Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional card. When I plug it in and test it (in either Configure Speech Recoginition - Windows Vista / or in Counter-Strike Source, Test Microphone Button under the game options) both indicate that the system is not receiving any sound. However, both the speakers (5.1) and headphones work fine. I am using a Plantronics headset.
    I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Below are my complete system specifications. Let me know what additional information you need, if any.
