Hero by HTC

Mine hasnt worked since the MR update in November.

Mine too.  Almost never works.  Just keeps listening and listening.  My RAZR handled this and BT beautifully.

I think that a discussion re the abominable Voice Dial app in the HTC Hero by Sprint is important!  However, I have read all of the posts which are all the "same".  Where are the answers from Sprint since this is a Sprint app not an android app which does not exist.  I have been a Sprint Premier client for many years, but all I get are sales messages.  No solutions!

Actually, this is an official Android app. Sprint and HTC had no part in its creation. When we get the update to 2.1 it will probably be a lot better. For now, try to learn how to speak to it. Be as clear and concise as possible. I wish it would work as good as voice search.

Well, I don't know where you are getting your information, but I had this app on my G1. It looked and functioned the EXACT same way. I highly doubt Sprint changed it, because there would be something different about it. If I remember correctly, it never worked very well on my G1 either. Sorry, but this isn't Sprint's fault. Sprint only made their normal navigation, tv, nfl, and nascar apps. Oh and a visual voicemail app. The rest are either HTC or stock Android. I would look for better information next time, because I know that I am right, as I have been with Android longer than you.

I found a great app that works better. It's called Choice Dialer. There's a free version with more features than the stock one, and a $3 version that also has commands for music and reminders and such. Check it out. Also there are settings for when it decides to do an action without confirmation. It uses a decent amount of memory, so you may have to turn off the features you don't use. I stopped using the Sense homescreen for a modified normal homescreen, so I have a lot more memory to work with. Hope this helps.
