Does anyone know of a real working app to use for voice actions, especially texts? I have to exchange texts as I drive, and I cannot find anything that works like Siri/iPhone.
On the iPhone, you can send AND hear texts easily:
-find the physical home button by feel and hold it for 2 seconds
-Ask Siri if there are any new messages, she reads them
The whole exchange can be done hands and eyes free and it works even if the screen is locked with a pin.
On the One, you have to turn on the phone first. Fortunately easy by double tapping the screen. But next, the pin code has to be entered and phone unlocked. Then, I have to find Google Now, and realize it won't read text messages back.
3rd party apps like Robin would do it, but they don't work with car Bluetooth. Those also require looking at the screen to find and launch the app. Worse, when connected to car Bluetooth, the internal Mic is disabled so voice functionality doesn't work at all.
I really don't want to go back to iPhone, but this is really starting to be an issue.
Surely there is some app that allows for hands free, eyes free texting via Bluetooth?
