About 48 hours into my Maxx ownership and mostly it's been good, but there are some things with voice input that I haven't gotten to work, or work the way I want.
1. When I ask it to show my agenda, it appears to only be looking at my primary Google calendar. I have several other Google calendars - two for volleyball teams which I share with them, one for personal stuff which I don't want to sync to Lotus Notes at work, etc. These other calendars do sync with and display in the Calendar app on the phone. Is there any way to get "OK Google Now" to include them?
2. "Listen to (song)". It takes me to the store and offers to let me buy the song. I already own the song and it's in my Google Music library. "Listen to (song2)". It opens a web search for the song. Etc. I have never been able to get it to open Play Music and play the darn song.
3. When I ask it to send a text, it's picky. "Text Sasha" doesn't work. "Send a text to Sasha saying ..." works. But, I can't see any way to edit the message before sending, and it usually gets at least one thing wrong in transcription. If I was younger I'd probably just let it go - I think people nowadays are used to garbled texts - but I'm old school and like my written communication to be correct.
4. The whole silliness of saying "OK Google Now" to my phone. I'd rather say something like "hey phone!".
