I have done nothing to it and it is not completely black and white and dull. It has left my completely unable to send or read texts, see my background, take or look at pictures, and basically use any feature that requires me looking at my phone. Probably no help available, but if there is please tell.</p> My phone’s screen is totally ruined. I have done nothing to it and it is not completely black and white and dull.

If u bought ur phoen inc anada.. may 2005.. Ur phone will still be in warranty .. we say 1 yrs.. but we give15 months.. so if u rush ur phone.. i guess it still might qualify to be in warranty .. depending what date of may u bought it .. anyways.. I dont think u can save ur pictures.. They going to reload the software and everythings going to go away .. so .. its up to u .. what you want to do ..</p> Hey buddy ..

Last night I was charging the phone and this morning all I had was a white screen on the external display. It won't turn off either unless I take out the battery. I have never downloaded a thing from a computer. I purchased it in May 2005 so the warranty is expired. In order to turn it on, I take the battery out, place it back in and press power on. I still get the "White Screen of Death" and in the inside the P207 welcome screen only. I read above about software reloads and system resets. They mention "Roger's Site", but I don't know where this is. Can anyone help me with this? I have valuable pictures and info on the system I need to download.</p> <p>Thanks</p> Greetings All:

To be specific, let’s talk about speaker dependent large vocabulary computer speech recognition interfaces. LVCSR systems are quite amazing. They use statistical modelling at the level of parts of sounds to “listen” to human speech and then reconstruct whole sounds, parts and then whole syllables and then parts and whole words. LVCSR systems are things like Dragon NaturallySpeaking and the Samsung P207 phone. They aren’t the sorts of things described in this article. I also think that they’re fundamentally broken because when they work they’re magic and when they break they fail in a completely opaque way. Like this: You can’t interrogate an LVCSR system to understand what it doesn’t understand. You can only go merrily along enjoying the magic until it fails. And even then when it fails you have to ask if the system failed to understand because of some extra-system fault, for example you mis-spoke or there was a noise that affected the recognition, or because what you said just isn’t in the system. LVCSR systems are completely seamless until you fall off the edge of the world. Admittedly the capabilities of such systems are increasing and are already very large. Most people who end up using speech recognition systems will probably never encounter the seams. But when the blunder into a space that the system can’t cope with things don’t fail in a particularly elegant manner. And they never can because a system can’t know what it doesn’t know.
