Post #415,627 by crazy 11/22/16 6:03:01 PM 11/22/16 6:03:02 PM Reply	Agreed (vastly better) for my G6 Not sure about the local statement. My vr has problems as I drive away from my house, and wifi data disappears. 3 seconds later it works again when my non wifi data connection firms up. I actually test to see how quietly spoken, quickly (running words together), and in heavy wind noise it will work. And am amazed how well it deals with it. The visual shows a series of mistakes and then it corrects itself, showing it understands not just the sounds I make but the context in which they make sense.
Post #415,629 by drook 11/22/16 7:36:55 PM 11/22/16 7:36:55 PM Reply	Did some looking Found this note on StackOverflow. "From what I can establish, Google tests the availability of a connection prior to deciding whether to use offline or online recognition. If a connection is available initially but is lost prior to the response, Google will supply a connection error, it won’t fall-back to offline." That seems to describe your testing. And I just tested, VR works in airplane mode. -- Drew
Post #415,630 by crazy 11/22/16 7:47:21 PM 11/22/16 7:47:21 PM Reply	Thanks While it works offline, I bet it doesn't work as well. For the vast majority of use (set alarm, launch known program, etc), local should be ok. But when doing complex dictation, I ASSUME online (with deep context analysis) would have an edge.

I want my e911 chip free flip phone back. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (1) - Oct. 4, 2016, 02:23:49 PM EDT

EVLeaks on Twitter mumbled something about flip phones coming back next year. - (Another Scott) - Oct. 4, 2016, 02:42:37 PM EDT

Nice colors - (drook) - (2) - Oct. 4, 2016, 02:49:42 PM EDT

Heh - (pwhysall) - (1) - Oct. 5, 2016, 03:03:03 AM EDT

Looks like these, too - (drook) - Oct. 5, 2016, 11:34:18 AM EDT

So, it's not a loss leader. :) - (a6l6e6x) - Oct. 4, 2016, 04:48:11 PM EDT

They're offering a new ecosystem with very fast hardware. - (Another Scott) - (11) - Oct. 5, 2016, 06:52:24 AM EDT

Eh? No they're not - (pwhysall) - (10) - Oct. 5, 2016, 11:47:31 AM EDT

Disagree. - (Another Scott) - (3) - Oct. 5, 2016, 11:58:01 AM EDT

It does sound appealing. I use very little data most months. - (Another Scott) - (2) - Oct. 5, 2016, 01:26:47 PM EDT

Yeah, you pay for all your data - (drook) - (1) - Oct. 5, 2016, 02:42:14 PM EDT

The unthrottled foreign data sounds great... - (Another Scott) - Oct. 18, 2016, 11:23:25 PM EDT

Mossberg thinks it's a big deal. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Oct. 5, 2016, 02:21:26 PM EDT

He's an outlier on this one - (pwhysall) - Oct. 6, 2016, 03:06:59 AM EDT

If you want a Pixel, avoid Verizon - (pwhysall) - (19) - Oct. 7, 2016, 03:19:39 AM EDT

Verizon's always been evil. - (Another Scott) - (18) - Oct. 7, 2016, 08:36:33 AM EDT

Worse than the ringtone - (drook) - (1) - Oct. 7, 2016, 10:21:22 AM EDT

Oooh. I'd forgotten about that. -NT - (Another Scott) - Oct. 7, 2016, 11:56:01 AM EDT

I couldn't care less about the bootloader - (pwhysall) - (15) - Oct. 7, 2016, 10:38:32 AM EDT

Yeahbut... - (Another Scott) - (14) - Oct. 7, 2016, 11:55:41 AM EDT

Yeahbut what? - (pwhysall) - (13) - Oct. 7, 2016, 02:29:17 PM EDT

"Don't be evil" - (mmoffitt) - (5) - Oct. 7, 2016, 02:34:07 PM EDT

You just did "ooh look a monkey" - (pwhysall) - (4) - Oct. 7, 2016, 06:05:54 PM EDT

All I'm saying is one is no better or worse than the other. The reasons may vary, but both are evil. -NT - (mmoffitt) - (3) - Oct. 9, 2016, 11:02:25 AM EDT

So what? - (pwhysall) - (2) - Oct. 9, 2016, 11:54:13 PM EDT

Exactly. - (mmoffitt) - (1) - Oct. 10, 2016, 08:13:39 AM EDT

And I just told you why not. - (pwhysall) - Oct. 10, 2016, 01:49:33 PM EDT

Eh? I don't like Verizon. - (Another Scott) - (6) - Oct. 7, 2016, 03:34:43 PM EDT

Google doesn't need to sell phones, though. - (pwhysall) - (5) - Oct. 7, 2016, 06:05:20 PM EDT

But... - (Another Scott) - (1) - Oct. 7, 2016, 06:15:23 PM EDT

Sure - (pwhysall) - Oct. 7, 2016, 06:44:49 PM EDT

+5, Interesting. - (static) - (2) - Oct. 7, 2016, 10:30:13 PM EDT

Might be worth double-checking that - (pwhysall) - (1) - Oct. 8, 2016, 02:25:31 AM EDT

No, it's not locked to Telstra. - (static) - Oct. 8, 2016, 03:21:24 AM EDT

Decided I just can't do it. New T-Mobile $330 LG V10 looks like a possible winner. - (Another Scott) - (21) - Nov. 11, 2016, 11:48:08 PM EST

New ones at eBay for $280. - (Another Scott) - Nov. 12, 2016, 10:35:20 AM EST

when I get a new, the local tmobile store is happy to put a sim in for me free -NT - (boxley) - (2) - Nov. 16, 2016, 08:50:45 PM EST

Good to know. - (Another Scott) - (1) - Nov. 17, 2016, 08:42:08 PM EST

they are as competent with their products as the applestore folks with theirs -NT - (boxley) - Nov. 17, 2016, 08:56:46 PM EST

Bah. The cutter, etc., won't arrive until Monday. Grr... -NT - (Another Scott) - (1) - Nov. 19, 2016, 07:29:50 PM EST

Patience, Grasshopper! :) -NT - (a6l6e6x) - Nov. 19, 2016, 08:57:11 PM EST

Initial thoughts. - (Another Scott) - (12) - Nov. 22, 2016, 11:22:28 AM EST

heh, just got a new t-mobile android phone - (boxley) - (11) - Nov. 22, 2016, 02:59:04 PM EST
