hey everyone,
Weird thing happened today. I am in a review session (finals this week... ugh) and I get a text message from my wife. For the first time ever the phone reads it out loud even though my phone is on silent! It was embarrassing because of the whole phone going off in class but also because of the content of the message...
I really want to turn this off... any tips?
What I know:
driving mode is off
beautiful widgets silent mode shuts it off.
Thanks!!
Have you installed the cluezee app? If so and you opened it, that could be it. Also try enabling and disabling drive mode then rebooting. Vlingo could also be the culprit if it's inadvertently on.

Hi Guys,
Somehow I seem to have turned on a feature which reads out the number of the person sending me a text message. This happens when my phone is on silent too. Which is begining to annoy me, especially when I am at work. Have had a look through settings for SMS but can't see the option to turn it on or disable it. Does anyone know how I can switch it off?
Thanks.

I have not seen any Settings like this in my Mobile for now.If you are sure you changed some settings and than it started reading out numbers use factory default settings it might Help but before doing that wait for some time some other members might know how to stop it.If you have not Received any answer about this than use factory default settings.
The thing is I don't remember changing any settings for this at all. It's not something I wanted to have switched on. I'm reluctant to do a factory reset as I have my phone setup just perfectly at the moment.
Hit the home button twice to get the voice launcher up, turn off "driving mode"
Job done.
Thanks for that. Although I managed to resolve it another way. Went into Settings - voice input and output and de-selected Driving mode.
Your way is a lot quicker though. One for the books.
No worries, took me 48 hours to figure it out for myself the first time.
Ok first ever post, I seek answers !!!
My S2 has started doing some very odd things -
1st it started returning to the clock desktop screen when pressing the home button instead of returning to the proper home screen, now its randomly launching into the Voice talk app screen by itself ?? I have tried a full reset and removed all non standard apps and this hasnt solved the problem.
Battery Drain is full to 0 in about 3 hours with limited use and if I turn it off it actually turns itself back on by itself !
Any ideas, Im assuming its ****** !
Great phone up until this point !
mine starts the voice command by itself too. its irritating at times. Also i have noticed that my battery drains faster than usual. Not sure why its causing
mine has bee launching that damned voice talk thing, too. it normally happens when i preas the home button, and it drives me nuts hecause it even talks aloud when i expect the phone to be silent. (where's the freaking global mute??)
Well if you press the Home button twice then Voice Talk will start. To reduce battery drainage, go to settings, Un-check Use location and Wake Up command. And disable Car mode when not needed,
Sorry, I forgot to edit my post (was going to before i got distracted by other tasks), but I meant to take out the "when I press the home button" part since it was redundant. What I meant was that it happens when I press it just once. I understand that double press launches it, it's why it annoys so much when it launches with just one press.

did you guys ever get a fix for this? cause i get this aswell.. and it's driving me ****ing nuts!!! running KG6
u could try force closing in running apps inside settings/applications/running apps?? i get the same ocasionally and that method seems to work for me?
Have Same problem
I have the same problem as you, my voice talk app is launching very often by it self for me 2. I tried to reset my phone to factory settings but didn't work, and my battery is only lasting for max 12hours+-, depends on my use.
Can se in the battery usage that my phone OS is using 96% battery and screen is using 2% an 2% for something else.(don't remember because im offshore and can't use mobile phone here) normaly the Android OS should use less more than 96%
This is very fustrating!! do annyone know what to do here?? probably root the phone an delete the Voice Talk App ??? or can there be some problem with the phone electronics that makes the phone act this strange??
Hope someone finds this out!!
I love this phone but this is making me crazy!! hehe
Voice talk starting can't turn off solved!!!!!
Was driving me nuts but finally found how to turn off the annoying voice talk by F*****G VERLINGO. Go to Settings, Motion then turn off double tap it has worked for me thank F**K.
My question is... why did all our phones started having the same problem at the same time... I've turned off double tap and it seems to have worked for me too, but that is not a definitive solution, cause it was allways turned on and there were no prob before. My problem started about 3months after i upgraded my phone to ICS.

Was any solution found for this problem? My S2 is not only launching tap and speak, but playing music, putting itself in to car mode, re-booting itself. Battery draining extra quick and taking all day to re-charge. It's posessed.
hi everyone,
I recently upgraded to 4.3 and finding it very annoying about two notifications as explained below.
Whenever I disable the flight mode or mobile data, a message keeps popping up which is very annoying on my day to day activities.
Please refer to attached screen shots.
Why don't they have a tick box to say something like "Do not show again" or so ....
is there any solution to get rid of this?
Thanks and cheers to all ....
Couldn't agree more! I can't stand this! Why isn't there a "do not show again" message. They seriously think we are stupid or that we're going to go crying to tech support when we can't make calls because airplane mode is active.
Has anyone found a solution for this on 4.3?
I have never had any popup dialog box when toggling the Mobile Data button.
However ever since 4.2 which I have been using for the last 6 months the Flight Mode popup dialog box comes up every single time you toggle it on or off which is the most annoying thing about Android I have ever experienced. (since I use Flight mode several times daily).
I'm guessing the suggestion of having "Do Not Show Again" would be more suitably aimed at either Samsung or Google (Android)?, and I seriously doubt that those guys will change/fix it.
So is there anyone here in XDA land that could provide a fix/mod/hack for this issue please?
I also had the same popup msg problem when turning up the volume (on 4.2) which was annoying as all hell! -But I haven't seen it again since 4.3 though I'm not sure if that was from the JB update, or if it was a part of Omega ROM's old Loud Volume hack which seems to be no longer available since 4.3
Anyway thanks in advance for anyone's help to permanently disable popup msgs.
Cheers
I tried googling but couldn't find any results.
I like the Silent Connected Phone feature because it prevent my phone from ringing when I am already wearing my watch. The problem is, when I got home, and I put my watch on the table or charger, then when I call come in, my phone will not ring as well, and both my watch and phone will just vibrate.
Is there a way for the watch to detect that its not on my hand (I noticed that sometimes the display goes blank), and then disable the silent mode on my phone?
Or is there an app or workaround that can do this?
Thanks in advance!
Hi all, first of all... I am posting this here because I've discovered this "feature" via my S10, but it probably isn't necessarily a S10 feature. It just never happened with my S7 and my work iPhone doesn't replicate it either.
Right, so if you open a private message/conversation on Instagram and with your screen on, flip the phone with the screen facing down, it will start recording audio (you will notice a little vibration if you have vibrations activated).
The behaviour gets even weirder if you keep your phone facing down long enough before you turn it again... as the screen stays completely switched off but the app still records audio. It takes a few tries to turn the screen back on. However, if you turn the phone again shortly after the vibration, it will flash back on again.
Anybody noticed this before? Is quite unusual and I cannot really tell why this is even a feature... other than secretly recording a conversation?
Huh, just tried it and you are totally right. I'm guessing it's a bug. I never send direct messages on instagram but that definitely seems like it could be a big problem. I tried a quick google search and couldn't find anything about it either.
It's so you can put your phone up to your face (like if you had a phone call) it will record an audio message for you automatically. It's doing what it is supposed to but it does make sense to be a little bit worried about this. Instagram should implement some way to disable this feature.
Its like the same on whatsapp when you listening to an voice message and And tilt your phone in your hand as if you were on the phone it will be black too thats a stupid function in the s10
