A threat to iPhone? Don't think so; not yet!

It's an annoyance, but it seems like a pretty small issue, especially if you like the phone and everything else.

Can you email or write Samsung support or open a ticket? You might have a better chance of getting answers from behind first line support. There may be an acceptable work around or something like that. There might be something physical you could do or try. At least you might get a better (more technical) explanation. I would be skeptical that "fike" is being recognized completely and on some discard/ignore list? I would expect other similar sounding words to be in there like "find", so what is it about "fike"? May not solve the problem but it would be interesting to understand.

Thanks for at least trying to understand. I find it fascinating too; although more aggravating! I just want my voice dialing to work. That's all. I want to keep the phone; it is so big and bright and advanced in every other way. It is laughable (really,) the preposterous replies I get from S-Voice. Just insane. I asked to 'Call Rite Aid Pharmacy' She came back with, get this, 'I can do an internet search for CALL RITE AID PHARMACY!!!' Why didn't she just call? I'm afraid I'm going to see about getting the Razr Maxx Monday. Don't want to. Maybe I'll try your advice. How long do I have to return phone?

It is certainly NOT a small issue to me. It's not just an annoyance. It is THE deciding factor on any mobile phone. Voice dialing and using my bluetooth are necessities for me. I understand that it may not be for everyone. But for me; it is.

Found a great app; Cyberon Voice Commander. It works! It doesn't have as many commands as S-Voice. But I can now make calls and receive calls without ever touching my phone! Am getting ready to do a backup, hard reset of phone and hard reset of Jawbone Headset. Cyberon Voice might have just saved this Samsung customer! Yeah!
