Lumia 520 win8.1 voice commands.

After windows 8.1 update.
Voice commands have now moved to the search button and the start button now does nothing. This means I have lost the search function. Is this by design or by accident?
Also to save disturbing my sleep I turn off wifi at night as my emails are not that urgent. Don't want to mute the phone in case an urgent call comes in. It seems that wifi sense overrides and turns wifi back on. What is the quickest way of ensuring silence without going through numerous clicks?

Thanks for the update, SonicBlue. Let's further verify if the issue is SW related or not. Try the following steps and see if the 'call' voice command will work:
1. Reboot the phone. Press and hold the volume down & the power key for 10-15 seconds until it vibrates and restarts. This won't erase any of your files, but you will need to re-set up the date & time settings. 
2. Since the phone is already running Lumia Cyan, try checking if the system apps have already been updated as well. Go to Settings > swipe to applications > store > check for updates. 
3. Try to use the speech feature using another language pack. This will help verify if the issue is related to the English UK language pack that you're currently using or not. Make sure that the phone's regional settings are correctly set as well. Some commands only work within supported countries. You can check this link for info about the availability of voice commands per country: Feature and service availability - Go to Speech.
Let us know the outcome.

  • Lumia 520 voice calling

    I'm the new owner of a Lumia 520, and a very fine phone it is too.
    I use the voice calling facility with my car's bluetooth hands free kit (Nokia CK-7W) which works well, but I have one little niggle with it. The initial 'say the name now' tone and the read-back confirmation of the name are extremely quiet through the bluetooth kit, almost inaudible in fact. The volume of the call itself is fine, which leads me to believe they are sent from the phone at low level.
    Is there any way of increasing the volume of these notifications?

  • Lumia 520 touchscreen partial misalignement!

    UPDATED! LOOK AT LAST POST!
    Hello!
    I've occured a strange problem. I tried googling for similiar problems & solutions, but came out empty handed.
    Perhaps I haven't tried using the correct keywords yet, so I appologize if this problem has occured before and there already is a topic on it.
    PROBLEM:
    When typing with Lumia 520 normally (holding the phone vertically) it works perfectly. Flawless.
    When I go into landscape mode (for faster typing), some bugs occur. The keys on far left, and right work good. When I try to type:
    'f'' or 'r' or 'x' it comes out as ',' (comma)
    'd' or 'e' or 'z' it goes to emotes
    It's very annoying, because typing in vertical mode is much slower. 
    Not sure if related, but sometimes when it asks my permisson for something (slides down from top), asking something with 2 boxes "Allow" and "Deny"... Then when I press on "Allow", nothing happens.. But if I press "Deny" then "Allow" lights up and goes by that command. Not a big problem, because I can push Deny to Allow and to Deny I just hit the Back button.
    I have Cyan update. I've tried soft reset and replacing my languages, but no change.
    Changing the touchscreen sesnitivity from strong to average also had no effect.
    Core build 3056.40000.1349.10387
    Application Version 3.12.0.3
    Configuration ID 371513
    I hope someone has had a similiar problem and can help me out.
    It's a good phone if you take care of it okay. Hasn't failed me yet.

    So I figured out, that a small part of the touchscreen does not work properly or works poorly. (Like when I 'Accept' it registers 'Deny' instead.
    My warrant is void. So what could be the logical technical difficulty, that I'm facing? Replacing the touchscreen? Checking some kind of contacts?
    EDIT: Added a picture of the 'bad' areas. When pressing around the red area, then pink area works. Same with blue. All else works perfectly fine. I'm sad and confused - why only THAT AREA? 
    EDIT: Added another picture showing the misalignement.
    Touching the colored area activates the circled area!

    Hi Yuvvraajkumar,
    Welcome to the forum! 
    For which specific Lumia phone is this? Aside from installing the Lumia Black update, did you change some settings (region, language, etc.) in the phone prior to the issue? Note that some commands are available in specific regions only. See this: Feature and service availability. Make sure that the phone is set to a region where the said service is available.
    BTW, since the issue started after installing the Lumia Black SW, try also to verify if all system apps are updated. Try scanning the QR codes shown at this link: Nokia Windows Phone 8 App Updates.
    Let us know how it will go.

    To resolve your issue, please go to Windows 10 Tech Preview ISO <http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso> to install the localized build in Italian.
    I'm not exactly sure how you expect the OP to install the Windows 10 ISO on
    to his phone.

  • 5800 Voice Commands

    Hi,
    Is it possible to add to or replace the Synthesized voice commands for contacts?
    My old phone allowed me to record my own voice command for each contact but I can't see any way to do this with the 5800.

  • Landrover Evoque and Voice Commands - iOS 7 / iPhone 5S problems

    I have a Landrover Evoque which has Voice Controls.
    I also have iOS 7.0.3 and the iPhone 5S.
    Before the upgrade to phone and iOS the voice controls worked fine in that it could call a contact based upon voice recognition in the car.
    All worked fine until the new software upgrade.
    However, if I press the Voice Command button and say 'Phone Call Contact" it returns a response "No Handset Connected" and fails.
    However the phone is connected via Bluetooth and ALL of the contacts have been downloaded to the car address book.
    Anybody else have this?
    Anybody know of a fix?
    In case anybody asks - the Bluetooth has paired ok, mad it will make and receive calls - it also will play the music through the Bluetooth.
    However this is now more unsafe than it was before.

    No.
    You can try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    or on your phone settings - general - reset - reset network settings - you will have to re enter password for known wifi.

  • Voice Command does not function anywhere on phone

    Have owned the RAZR MAXX HD for two weeks.  Voice Command functionality does not work regardless of whether I try to open it from the apps list, dialer, or contacts list.  The error I get reads as follows: "Unfortunately, Voice Command has stopped."  If I use the Google Now microphone it does seem to work on a limited basis for certain contacts.  Would really like to use the phone hands free while driving but the lack of voice command functionality prevents this.

    Fixed it!  I had the same problem today with my Droid 4 and search the internet to find some answers.  Techs were saying that you cannot roll back updates for the OS  and what not but that is not true.  I found a free App on Google Play that did backups and restores for apps and the OS.  Even though it was too late to have a restore to go back to, I was able to see all the updates and loads that had happened today and uninstalled them from within the program and it did roll them back to the previous versions.  I had to uninstall Google Search, Google Play Books and Zillow. and then my Voice Commands would work again.  The error I was receiving when I tried to voice command was "Unfortunately Vioce Commands has stopped".  I hope this helps someone.  NOt trying to sell anything but the App that worked was AppMonster Free Backup Restore.

  • How do I use voice commands with CC on my Mac?

    Howdy all! Just made the switch to Adobe from Final Cut 7. Overall, I'm digging it a bunch.
    However, there's one aspect of CC on my Mac that's vexing me.
    As you may know, there is speech recognition / voice command software built in to Mountain Lion (it's been around for years, and many iterations of OSX). With this software, you can make any number of custom voice commands for another piece of software. For instance, in FCP 7, I can program the keystroke "l" (play track) to respond to the voice command, "Forward." (It can be any word or phrase you type in.) This works with other programs as well.
    All well and good, and pretty dang cool. However, I can't make any voice commands work with any of the CC software (I've tried Premiere and Media Encoder so far). I'm curious if anyone else has had any luck, or, perhaps, that the ported interface from Windows to Mac has some layer of code that (probably inadvertantly) blocks voice commands from working with CC on a Mac.
    Anyone got any tips? Tricks? Confirmation that this simply won't work on a Mac? (If the last, I'd love to know the "why" as well.)
    Thanks!

  • Can't play the video in my Lumia 520

    Hi
    I always love the work of nokia and this time trailer app is just Nice but there's a problem.
    I have downloaded 6 trailers and only 1 is able to play.
    Rest of them says "sorry we can't play this video on your phone".
    I have no idea what's wrong with my phone.
    Please help.
    I have a Lumia 520.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @livinglife,
    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions! 
    What is the error message displayed when you try playing the video? Have you tried using mobile data? If yes, does it show the same issue? What fixes have you tried so far? By the way, are you using the same phone model? 

  • Amber update is not working in my lumia 520

    sir,
       i have installed new update in my lumia 520 .it installed fully and successfully but i cannot find of new features in my phone !!?? features like call+sms filter ,radio and so on.., how can i solve this problem. 

    Perhaps a more helpful answer is to install "Lumia System Updater". That app will allow you to check and update all the system apps on your phone (such as "extras+info", "about" etc.) that are required for the Amber/GDR2 update to be "seen".
