    Voice dialing problem solved

    My phone stopped being able to voice dial via my Kenwood radio in my truck with the Android 4.3 upgrade. It was always flaky with 4.2 but it worked most of the time. Upgrading to 4.4.2 didn't help. Now after much frustration it is working. First I apologize but the only step that I know that is...

    I admit I don't check this forum but about every three or four weeks on average but it seems the last time I was here this forum was a lot more active. There were a couple of threads about ICS and the Captivate not getting it. Now nothing. Everybody upgrading to new phones?

    One feature I want more than any other is voice activated dialing. I've read where some Froyo users have got it to work but not very well. Does Gingerbread provide a robust voice activated dialing feature that actually works well?

    Anyone using this setup? I'm looking at this setup but I need voice dialing. Obviously the Captivate does not support voice dialing but the CK3100 is supposed to have it's own voice dialing capability if I read the specs correctly. Another issue is the phonebook which I understand will only...

    Any inexpensive repeaters available?

    Our old Motorola Razr phones always got at least two bars and usually three inside our house. Our new Samsung Captivates are lucky to get one bar. Is there an inexpensive repeater that would work? It's not worth paying hundreds to use our cell phones in our house when we have a land line.

    Possible to always be unlocked?

    Neither my wife or I keep any sensitive data on our phones. We both find it to be a pain to have to swipe the unlock screen to answer calls or otherwise use the phone. Is there a way to remove this requirement? An app that does this?

    Accessories Does screen protector.......

    decrease sensitivity of the touchscreen? In my case that would probably be a good thing as I'm always inadvertently touching buttons and starting apps. I'm thinking of having my home screen blank and moving my home screen apps to the second page.
