To get the voice to work when upgrading you need to go under help and click on reset google maps. Works on my 8330 with os 4.5.0.51

Got it running on 4.5.0.69 on my 8310, and there is a voice search option though it’s not working very well. It can’t understand what I’m saying. I also noticed that this option only came up tonight as I was checking the maps, it wasn’t there when I first installed this morning. Maybe Google is still slowly implementing it and is why it’s not showing on the main Google Mobile site for download yet.

Look at the link. It says “blackberry-42″ not “blackberry-45″ so even though it is for 4.2 it still works on higher OSs.

It doesn’t work on my 8830 4.5.0.52 on VZW. It would stop loading at 90% after asking me if I granted access to the radio location or something like that. 2.2.1 did the same thing

Yea I got it on my 8320 but no voice search also. (2.2.2)

doc: I loaded 2.2.1 and now 2.2.2 on my 8830 — neither supports voice-activated search.

I have an 8820 from AT&T running 4.2.2.169 and the voice search does work on it

its faster overall to me. BUT voice search STILL doesn’t freaking work on my 8310 on AT&T running 4.5.0.69….. JEEZ when will this work??? and, yes, i have VAD installed…

Can somebody verify if you need to have VAD installed in order for this to work properly?

I guess it doesn’t matter if the Voice Recognition works because I was never able to get it to work correctly on my 8320 under 2.2.1 anyway.

I have voice enabled on my Cellular South 8330 running 4.5.0.51beta. It seems to work though haven’t tested it with a location locked in. A quick way to be sure if it’s enabled on your device, is to check the help option. There will be a special section there just for voice searching…even has a demo.

Tom were you able to load any version higher then 2.2.0 on your 8830?

By: Tom

Unfortunately, this does NOT add voice-activated search on my 8830/OS v4.2.2.196 (neither did the 2.2.1 beta).
