Not 100% but in settings > apps look for Skype then clear data/cache and try that ( might need a reboot)

All you have to do is clear the cache data from the phone app so go to settings applications manage all scroll down to dialer and clear the defaults for it thats it.
If you are not using Skype all the time you may wanna consider going into the settings for Skype and not letting it start on boot and/or login automatically and that will also take care of the problem
My wife started playing with my note , and I have notice that everytime I get an e-mail or call that my phone tells me " You got 1 new e-mail " or tells me who is calling. Anyone have an idea ?
I am confused as to what you are asking. You dont want to know when someone is calling you or texting you?
You can turn off notifications in the menu settings of the messaging app.
As for phone calls, well you will probably need to download a blocker app to stop phone call notifications.
Sorry for the confusion.
I don't know if she install something but does your Note notify you via voice that you got 1 new e-mail.
Or like when someone calls that this person is calling you or the number ?
It kills me to hear that while I am listing to music.
I think he means that it is talking aloud to him. I had that with some ROM I flashed on my last phone. I had to do into settings> applications > all applications and clear defaults/data on any app that had TTS in the name Example - Pico TTS. TTS stands for text to speech.
idk for sure, but perhaps she turned the Driving Mode on.
goto Settings / Voice Input and Output / Text to Speech settings.
is Driving mode checked green? if so, uncheck it and do a test call, see if it stops the phone from talking to you.
tx --- art.

You are the BESTEST !!!!! LOL. Why she did that , I have no idea. For all I know she is getting kicks and giggles for it. But thanks. That was it !
It sounds like she turned on the Vlingo Voice App with Driving enabled?
I did the same thing when I first got the Note last week.
np Fred, lucky guess lol. i'm glad you asked, now i know what that option means
Hello all,
I have googled and googled and searched, and I can't find anyone with the same issue I have. I don't know if I'm using the wrong search terms or what.
I cannot seem to get a default dialer setting for ALL phone numbers.
- I have Dialer One installed because I like it better than the default.
- It installed no problem, though even when I was in the app, it would still switch to the default to make the actual call, I think. But that didn't bother me too much... at least I could use it to find the number I wanted.
- Then I installed Skype.
Now, every time I call a phone number that I have not called recently, the thing pops up AGAIN asking me if I want to dial it with "Phone" or "Skype." (Dialer One is never an option.) I can tell it to use the Phone always... but it will only set it for that phone number. I'm constantly calling new phone numbers, and I'm sick of having to continually tell it to always use the phone!
Soooo.... can anyone tell me how to do at least one of these:
- Either make Dialer One the default for all calls and phone numbers.
- Or make the default phone dialer the default for all calls and phone numbers... I can still open Dialer One to locate the number I want.
- Or somehow tell it to stop offering Skype to me. Ever. I'll open the Skype app when I want to call that way.
Note:
- In my Settings | Applications, there is no default dialer listed at all. Dialer One is the only thing listed. I may have tried to uninstall it back when I installed dialer one... which may be why I'm having issues. Maybe?
- Skype settings has absolutely nothing in settings to "Never offer" or anything of the sort.
- Every solution I've found says to clear the defaults, make a call, and choose always. Like I said... I do that dozens of times every week and it still keeps popping up.
***I do have the phone rooted, in case the solution requires that.***
Thanks in advance!
You can not replace the phone dialer..that will always be use whenever you are dialing some one. However installing a custom dialer will only give you a front end of the dialer but it will still use the default dialer software to dial some one.
Now try dialing any number thru SGS3 default dialer. It will ask you to dial thru phone or Skype. Choose phone and always.
Just Got my Le Max 2 820x from Geekbuying yesterday. Seems like a great phone. My one huge problem with it, and I'm hoping it can be solved, is that I sometimes don't receive SMS or MMS when people send them to me. I don't know why it works sometimes and doesn't others. I had a friend send me 7 text messages over the course of the day yesterday and I didn't receive any of them. I used my sons phone to send a test SMS and I didn't get it. Then like 2 seconds later I tried again and got it. I used his phone to send a picture (MMS) and it showed up fine. I texted his phone with the Le Max 2 and it showed up fine. Then I sent a picture (MMS) to his phone and it showed up fine.
I can't be using this phone if I'm going to be missing text messages. It's 95% how I communicate. I've already checked the APN settings and they appear correct. If they weren't, I probably wouldn't be able to send or receive SMS or MMS whatsoever. I'm going to do more testing today, but could DOZE be turning off my cell radio when it goes to sleep somehow so that they phone doesn't "see" the text messages when they come in? I'm hoping it's a software problem. Here's my rom info:
EUI VERSION: 5.8.015S (Stable)
Build Number: FEXCNFN5801507014S
Security Update: June 1, 2016
Please help! Oh, and last thing, I've already tried changing the messaging app from default, to Google Messenger, to Textra and it doesn't seem to make any difference.
Try with rom CM13, everything wil be ok.
I have the same phone and same problem and I fixed it. Search on Playstore Handcent Next SMS and install it than click Inbox > More > Settings > All > MMS (Network settings for MMS) > MMS framework than select Smart > Carrier Setup > Mode (Select from list) than just choose your country and your carrier thats it. I hope you can fix the problem. if you fix the problem just let me know please. Sorry about my english.

I didn't fix it, but I found what the problem was, and I found a workaround. Refer to this post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/le-max-2/help/swiping-app-closed-task-manager-t3481571
Basically, if I leave the messing app (textra) running in the background, I get all the messages and texts. But If I use the app manager/recent apps button and swipe the textra app to close it, somehow the system disables it until I open it again. That's why I was missing messages. So my workaround is to ALWAYS leave the Textra app running in the background and never swipe it closed.

Hi,
I had almost the same issue as you. I did try a custom rom and thought it fixed it, I couldn't unroot that one and BT didn't work though so I went back to stock, sometimes with SMS and some times without. Then the other day I was peeking in the hidden menu and saw something I couldn't understand "SMS over IMS" - it's apparently a way to use SMS as a IP-messenger i.e SMS over LTE. I tried to set it to "NO" which seems to have fixed it.
can you tell where is this hidden menu for "SMS over IMS"?
Thanks!
Hi,
Iam from India and i'm using leX821 version of le max 2. Here,I use a 4G network called Jio. So automatically my data turns on and off while surfing the net. Please reply for the answer
Whenever I install a launcher on stock 6.0 firmware my phone doesn't notify me when I get a call. It maybe shows 1 but the other calls that I know I received do not show a notification nor in the call logs. I only know I got the call after receiving a voicemail. This happens after installing any custom rom as well. The call that came through was a number on my contacts list idk if that is relevant. I am asking for the precise things I need to do to get call notifications to work i.e. defaults and such things. The only way I can get call notifications to work for all calls is to go back to stock, and as soon as I would install a launcher boom 99% calls I do not get notified.

Add a solved tag in thread name.
This is an continuation to the problem to try and figure out a fix. The solved bit was not correct I just went back to stock.
Whenever I install a launcher on stock 6.0.1 firmware my phone stops notifying me when I get a call. It maybe shows 1 but the other calls that I know I received do not show a notification nor in the call logs. I only know I got the call after receiving a voicemail.

Update: I set app permissions, default app settings and phone manager notifications to whatever launcher I use and that still doesn't fix the problem. I have tried what is mentioned in other threads as the above without success which is why this thread was created. I'm not sure if my phone is somehow "notification bricked" after installing an launcher.
