Using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors, OnePlus claims they have created a customized voice recognition/command feature, much like the one found on the Moto X and newer DROID devices from Motorola.
The company has taken to its forum yet again, the last time to tease the dimensions of its upcoming One device, to speak briefly on their growing relationship with the team of developers at Cyanogen Inc. who are helping to create the phone’s OS.
In true OnePlus form, they are asking community members to choose which command will be programmed into the feature to wake devices from sleep mode. So far, there are three options – “Ok, OnePlus!,” “Wake up, OnePlus!” and “Alakazam!”
We’ve developed a new voice recognition/command feature based on Qualcomm’s technology which the Cyanogen team has implemented into our customized version of CyanogenMod OS. Now, you can train your OnePlus One to recognize your voice and perform different tasks even when the phone is locked!
To take part in the poll, head on over to the OnePlus forums.
I guess everyone wants a piece of what the Moto X has.
quickly skimmed the title and read it as the new htc one was going to have this feature. i was thinking, wow not a bad idea by htc. using moto’s idea but still not bad as a way to save a sinking ship.
Keep wondering if they’re going to get in trouble with HTC for the name…
There’s something to be said when 7 months out from the moto x’s launch companies are still touting similar features as New and Exciting… Does anybody remember the Spec-Heads that bashed the moto x on its 2012 components, yet it’s still inspiring 2014 tech.
This comment is unrelated to this article, but I have to say this… I know you need to make money, but the ads on this site make me feel like I’m going to TMZ or some other site laden with ads. I can’t even mouse over or click anywhere without fear of clicking on an ad and being redirected to another site.
Do the ads, just be tasteful and professional. Find another way to generate revenue. Maybe meet the Google News requirements and do some SEO optimization in your posts. That would drive more traffic and you could in theory have less ads.
It’s a great site, but I’ve been hitting other popular Android sites since these ads started. It’s all the same news, I just prefer DL.
Same here. It’s getting ridiculous. The site takes a long time to load and I dare not touch or scroll because things keep jumping around due to the ads. Some ads are so large that I have trouble telling them apart from the actual entries. Love this site, but good lord the ads are getting bad.
Every day there’s somebody bitching, and every day, nobody cares.
No one cares until this site no longer exists and you see your favorite writers writing for another blog.
Seriously? People are still bitching about this?
Install this and shut your mouth: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adblock/gighmmpiobklfepjocnamgkkbiglidom
That shows how bad it is. Droid-Life is now the main reason I have an ad blocker…and this is coming from the guy who whitelists blogs I support to show ads. Droid-Life has crossed into sketchy spam territory though.
They’re the only reason I have one.
I need it for Android Police, too. Their ads are just as nuts, especially on mobile.
Don’t get me wrong, I love both sites. But the ads are overpowering.
You mean you don’t want to clean your Android and make it faster?
AdBlock Plus is a dream, no ads, and it even blocks Flash ads that slow down your PC
maybe you could ask to pay for a subscription, then the rest of us wouldn’t have to see you complain about ads
Desktop is really clean to look at. Sure there are ads but it’s far less than most other websites. If you’re on mobile why don’t you just use newsstand? Sure you still have to go to the site to read the comments but for anyone else that just wants to read the articles voila! option.
If it weren’t for me visiting the site from mobile on occasion, I wouldn’t even know the site had ads.
I accidentally click on the ads all the time on the mobile version, annoying, but hope the clicks count for them
Ad blocker for chrome. Seriously, 100% honest, I didn’t even know there was advertising on this site until you said something and I disabled adblock. Adblock is the best extension for chrome ever created. No YouTube ads either. I have kind of taken for granted that adblock does all this for me, thanks for the reminder.
I’m listening…
It’s hard to say without seeing the final product, but it seems like this company gets it right. Asking potential customers what they would like to see in features, adding features that people generally enjoy and not taking themselves too seriously. The phone may be a hunk of junk but i bet some people will buy it because of their consumer friendly attitude.
My hope is that Koush is influencing the hardware development of this phone.
Hoping to see this in the main CM code base for all similar SnapDragon powered devices.
