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.
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…
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
Greeting peeps! I have os 4.5.0.52 on my 8310 curve and just tested the voice stuff on google maps 2.2.2 twice and got some error saying that there wasn’t enough cell phone reception and to try again when i am getting a better signal…what?!
will try again tomorrow when i get out of my condo (read: concrete block) and have some better reception. peace out!
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.
Unfortunately, this does NOT add voice-activated search on my 8830/OS v4.2.2.196 (neither did the 2.2.1 beta).
Tom were you able to load any version higher then 2.2.0 on your 8830?

Voice recognition is working for me on 2.2.0; Verizon Pearl 8130.
Correction: Voice recognition is working for me on 2.2.2; Verizon Pearl 8130
Voice isn’t working on my Sprint 8330 running .51
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.
Can somebody verify if you need to have VAD installed in order for this to work properly?

I have an 8820 from AT&T running 4.2.2.169 and the voice search does work on it
doc: I loaded 2.2.1 and now 2.2.2 on my 8830 — neither supports voice-activated search.
Yea I got it on my 8320 but no voice search also. (2.2.2)

does it work only on OS 4.5? I have a 8310 with 4.2.2
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.

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
