Hello one and all.
Did I read somewhere that the voice control on this phone can read out texts?
Or did I dream this somewhere while inhabiting a paralell universe?
If it can then how do you get it to do it?
Thanks
I read that too, here...

I don't have my SGS2 yet. I'm getting it tomorrow, so I can't try this out for myself yet.
I have had a text message while in the mode and it read out the number but not the text.
I does read back your text after you have dictated it before it sends it.
One more thing.
The 'hey galaxy' start is a bit hit and miss.
Any tips on how to say 'hey galaxy' correctly so the phone turns on straight away.
Thanks
You need to enable driving mode for it to read out the number to you. Am actually not sure if it can read out the text itself- just said that based on several posts I read on here.
You should say Hi Galaxy (thats what's suggested) not Hey (both works fine for me though).
Sent from my GT-I9100
I have tried both and tried different levels of voice but it seem a bit intermittant.
Another thing.
When I turn it on and put the phone in its cradle the mic seem very very sensative and is picking up noises in the car and thinks I want to do something.
If I manage to wake it up and say something, the level indicator stays at the top as it is picking background noise up and thinks I am still talking.
I have tried it in a quiet room and when I get it to wake up it works a treat but in the car I am assuming its picking up driving noises.
Any tips?

I did search, but didn't find anything...
I'd like to disable the messaging button and PIE button on my phone when I've got an active call. Whenever I'm on a call, and hold the phone to my ear, I end up pressing one or both buttons. It gets really tiring having to constantly close the messaging app, or PIE every time I get off the phone.
So, is there a way to disable those buttons with a call active?
Thanks

havent seen an app around that can do that...
Do I just have abnormally big ears?
It drives me nuts, anyone else have this problem?
No, you're not the only one!

Happens to me too - but usually it only happens when I jam the phone between my head and shoulder (hands-free mode )....don't think it's related to ear size....
Probably the only solution is to stick a BT headset in your ear and always answer the phone with that.....or press 'OK' a couple of times when you end the call!
Not much help, but at least now you know you're not alone

True...
And, I think it might only happen when I have the phone between my ear and shoulder too... which ends up being like all the time.
Problem with the bluetooth thing, is two fold
1) I've not found one that is loud enough
2) I don't like wearing it all the time, so put it down... when the phone rings, and I pickup the bluetooth, and try to answer with it, the phone has stopped ringing by the time the phone and earpiece are paired...

...ain't that just the way
One thing I've just thought of, though I've not tried it yet....
If your phone is "locked" (from the today screen plugin) and a call comes in, you get the popup to show who's calling etc. - do the messaging and PIE buttons still operate in those circumstances? If not, you might just have found yourself a solution
Mark.
<locks phone>
Dunno, but not a bad thought.
I'll give that a shot, thanks
I've had a look through the original manual and I've searched around for an answer to this but it doesn't seem to be a topic of discussion.
I'm looking to disable the screen that comes up after making a call, the one where it shows the person you just spoke to and gives options to call them back or message them etc. Is there any way of disabling this and just going right back to where you were previously?
The only reason for this is that when using the car in hands free mode with my car it causes a bit of an issue where it stalls after the end of the call.
When the call ends, it ends with my car but when the screen comes on the phone it initiates the call with my car again (My car thinks there is a call in progress). It's not until this screen goes away that my car turns off the hands free.
I know it's a little annoyance but I would really love to get rid of it.
Thanks
I am now on my third hands free car kit with my S3 and get the same issue with every one. I pair my phone. Connect my phone and it works ok for some time, could be an hour could be days. When working properly I press button on hands free kit to make voice call. Get a small sound to alert me to speak name of whom I want to call. When it works, it will then call the person I say. When it goes wonky, as it does, regularly, I press the button on hands free and await the signal to say the name. This time however, the sound that is made sounds all distorted and although the svoice screen appears on screen, it does not recognise what I say. I can receive incoming calls and answer them by pressing button at all times it just seems somehow to screw up the Bluetooth function every now and again. I have reset phone, did upgrades, (official ones, not rooted) and still happens. Anyone any ideas what issue is. As I mentioned it has happened with three different hands free kits I have bought so definitely the phone. Thanks for any help.

Hi
I've recently got one of the EU 1/8 Omate Truesmart watches. To start with it was fine, but after realizing I had missed some calls yesterday I realized that the watch made no sounds and the mic wasn't working either when I made some test phone calls. The vibrate does still work. I've changed the Modes in the Audio Profile but that doesn't seem to have made a difference.
Has anyone else had these problems?
I suspect the mic and speaker are in different parts of the watch, so I'm guessing its a software issue rather than something has shaken loose. I tried to work out how to reset the watch, but so far I haven't worked out how to do that (I haven't patched it yet, so it still has the original version of the firmware etc).
Thanks for any assistance
Somehow I managed to get the sound and mic working again . The last thing I was trying was to turn the watch off and on repeatedly, pressing or holding the two buttons down while it booted. One of the other posts suggested that I could get to a menu to reset the watch this way. Whilst I never saw a menu, on one occasion it did take longer to boot than normal (a few extra seconds) so I may have selected an option with out realising.
I've been reading here for months waiting for my TS to arrive and today it has!
I quickly found that all sound and mic was not working and my heart sank. But reading this question and the poster's own reply, and a hint from elsewhere, I turned off "fast boot" in the accessibility menu, shut down and restarted, and hey presto, sound input and output works fine. The "fast boot off" setting seems to be required in order to make the device really reboot.
Many, many thanks to all here who have been contributing to the knowledge base on this device. Hopefully I can now contribute, if only from the point of view of a non-expert man-in-the-street end user, from time to time.
So, at times I'm riding my bike and want to make a phone call. So at a red light I make the call, turn off the screen and put the phone in my pocket. While riding, i can speak to the other person with my headphones+mic.
That controller has a button near the mic, it usually starts/pauses/resumes music. It can also be used to answer a call.
What I need now is for it to end a call when pressed. It is currently putting the call on hold when pressed. I have an Android 4.4.2 (Lolipop didn't impress me) Micromax Unite 2 (A106/8GB). Rooted.
Any advice? Maybe something that doesn't require root, so it's simpler. Like a setting I missed in the basic Android settings page.
EDIT: Uhh, I searched for my phone and used the create new thread button. I don't know how it came into the uhh, "xda-developers~>Android Development and Hacking~>Miscellaneous Android Development". I don't see an option to try moving it into a more suitable section. Any admins help?
