For those who are new to this driving mode that they see in notification:
Settings > Language and Input > Text to Speech Output > Driving Mode > Message (Read out senders' information when new messages arrive)
= basing on what i've found in threads for previous versions, this is supposed to read out only the contacts name if it exists on your contact list, if not then it reads out number but doesn't read out the whole message.
i haven't gotten this to work on my sgs3.
Settings > Language and Input > Voice Search > Show body of Message(Show body of message when new message arrives while Driving Mode is on)
i haven't gotten this to work on my sgs3.
now for those who wonder how to enable reading out the whole message:
open svoice and leave it on background, since svoice needs net connection to run enable wifi or data.
= this one i was able to make it work. it reads the contact's name and/or number then reads out the entire message afterwards.
Settings > Language and Input > Text to Speech Output > Driving Mode > Unlock screen
this reads the time and temperature from accuweather and number of messages and missed calls.
anybody got that "show body of message" to work?
Worked for me but thats stupid that it requires svoice to be functioning in the background.

I have run into a problem which I believe started after I ran the titan_1.40_radio into my XV6800.
MS Outlook places the country code before all the contacts phone numbers and the country code for the US is +1 so at this point all the phone numbers in my contacts have +1 in front of the area code.
I had been synching my contacts between Outlook and my phone before installing this version of the radio and this was not a problem previously. I tried restoring the official VZW ROM today and that did not help, when dialing off the contact list I either get 3 beeps or a recorded message that the call cannot go through. If I dial myself, without a +1, the call goes through just fine. The reason I think it is the radio is because this is the only change I can isolate back to the start of the problem.
This brings me to my question, does anyone know where I can pull the original version of the VZW radio?
Has anyone else noticed this issue?

From the Mogul user manual:
3.10 Customizing Plus Code Dialing
You can customize how phone numbers that begin with a plus “+” sign will be dialed.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab >Phone > Services tab, or tap Menu > Options on the Phone screen and then tap the Services tab.
2. Select Plus Code Dialing, and then tap Get Settings.
3. To place local and international calls from the United States, select Enable under North American dialing.
When you place calls, the “+” sign at the beginning of phone numbers that you dial will be replaced as follows:
When you enter a long distance phone number that starts with “+1”, the “+” will be removed and the rest of the number will be dialed. For example, if you entered +1 416 123 4567, the number to be dialed will be 14161234567.
When you enter an international phone number that starts with a “+” followed by a digit other than 1, the “+” will be replaced with the United States international dialing code, which is already set by default. For example, if you entered +58 212 123 4567, the number to be dialed will be 011582121234567.
Tip:
If you modified the international dialing code, you can tap Reset to change it back to the default.

Thanks for the feedback and this is begining to identify the source of the problem and helped resolve it.
I went to Start > Settings > Personal tab >Phone > Services tab and there is no Select Plus Code Dialing option.
Are the services listed here part of the radio? I would not think they are but without flashing back to the stock VZW ROM I can not be sure.
I searched my registry for plus and found a few entries that appear to be related to this in:
HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\PlusCodeDialing
I have only the following three (along with (default) of course), they are:
PlusCodeEnable = 0
PlusCodeNumber = +
ResetNumber = +
Would you be willing to check your settings for these and post them here along with the the setting defined in your Start > Settings > Personal tab >Phone > Services tab > Select Plus Code Dialing settings?
I am curious if there are perhaps registry entries I am missing at this point.
I have changed the PlusCodeEnable from 0 to 1 and this has taken care of my problem for now. I will keep my eye on it as I build other ROMs and try to identify where it comes in from and how it comes in with the stock VZW ROM. I will most likely add it to the list of additional registry entries I include in ROMs as well.
I am still curious about how this is working for others out there cooking ROMS with DCD's kitchen.
Thanks,

I am running Energy ROM on my HTC Imagio. I store all my contact numbers using the plus code since I have numbers of people residing in different countries and have the same issue.
I have made the above changes and am able to dial numbers starting with the plus code, from the U.S. What do I have to change to dial when I am in, say, India? India's country code is 91 and the calling rules are a little more complicated than in the U.S. When calling international numbers, the + has to be replaced by 00. When calling long distance in India, the +91 has to be replaced with 0. I assume the rules must be different for other countries in Asia and Europe as well.
I was able to access an "Assisted Dialing" menu in the phone menu on the stock ROM but this menu does not exist in the modified ROM. Is it possible to add the Assisted Dialing option to modified ROMs? If so, that might be all I need. I would like to make sure I can dial using my contact list before traveling outside the U.S.
Thanks!
Can anyone tell me the registry setting to get plus code dialing to work for text messages too? I have edited my registry as mentioned here and it works fine for making phone calls. However, if I send a text to a country outside the U.S. using the plus coded phone number, it does not go out. If I replace + with 011, it works. I am able to send text messages to a plus coded number in the U.S. though.
Hope someone can help. It is a pain having to enter the whole number starting with 011-countrycode manually instead of using the plus coded number from the contact list. Thanks!
under settings -> call ->voicemail -> settings for my carrier
there is a voicemail number that isn't mines.. i bought this phone used so it's probably the previous owners number. how do i change this setting? when i click on it it just flashes and makes a sound but nothing happens, no text field pops up
Help please ...
I am trying to set my voicemail for the speed dial "1" key.
while at the keypad screen:-
menu-> call setting -> scroll to the heading "voicemail", option "voicemal service", is set default to "my carrier".
I then choose to change the "voicemail settings" -> "voicemail number", and enter the new voicemail number to dial, press ok .... and this is where the problem is...
When I press OK ... I get the following error "Voicemail number change unsuccessful"
I would like to to have this number changed , as every time manually dial my voicemail number it constantly ask for my password.
Why is this happening, I have purchased this phone outright, it is model type i9300, running Android 4.1.2.
Hopefully this can be an easy fix...?
PS...
This also causes a problem with Australian virtual mobile carriers, like Amaysim, Kogan, Aldi, who use Telstra & Optus as there underlying carriers, and and also will cause issues when travelling abroad, because you will not be able to access your voicemail if the number can not be changed to the full international dialing equivalent..
Hi,
(sorry if wrong forum)
I have an SGS2 running ICS and have setup my android's SIP client (internet calling) in phone > settings > internet call settings ("Accounts" and "Use internet calling", at the bottom).
I call many international numbers through sip. If I set the option "Use internet calling" to "Ask for every call", then every time I dial a number it asks whether to use "Mobile phone call" or "Internet call". If I choose the latter, then the call is made through my sip provider saving me lots of money.
It would be really useful if there was an app that would intercept calls to certain numbers I configure and change to internet call mode on the fly. The "prefixer" app does something close with prefixing/suffixing numbers.
Alternatively, I would also be happy with a widget that allows me to switch that phone option between "Ask for every call" and "Only for Internet calls" when tapped, so I don't have to navigate through menus all the time. For a dev this shouldn't be that hard I presume since it would just alter an existing OS option.
Is there any app/widget for this?
Cheers
I'm not aware of any apps/widgets, but using ICS you can simply put those numbers in as "Internet Call" fields.
Set your outbound SIP calling preference to "Internet Calls Only," then edit each of your overseas contacts and move their international numbers into the "Internet Call" field (click "Add New Field," then select "Internet Call" from the list).
This page explains it much better;

Thanks. The problem is that I visit those countries often enough to not want to do that. When I'm in that country, then I'd like to call direct s editing numbers back and forth becomes unattractive.
I found out that the "Prefixer" app actually does allow this. I match the numbers and automatically add the suffix @sip.domain.com (or whatever the SIP proxy host name is). It works but sometimes does not intercept the outgoing call so I have to be vigilant and cancel it quickly. Most of the times it works so I'm ok with the solution.
p.s. there are tons of SIP apps, some which do have call intercept features, but they don't work very well from what I found.

On Google Play there's the SIP Switch Widget, which does what you're searching for.
You can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.siebeck.sipswitch (unfortunately I'm not yet allowed to post links...)
Yeah this is a bummer for me. I wish I could just hold the call button for example to see a popup internet call / not if SIP (internet calling) settings were filled in Phone Settings. Another great feature would just be to define the local area code IE:416 and everything else would be over internet calling.
Simple eh? Too bad Google couldn't figure it out

Works for me. Dialer settings don't always show the correct settings, but calls are made with whatever the widget says they should be. To see the current settings, unload the dialer from memory, then check the selected setting.

Huh, now I was able to add the widget. It seems it works OK. Thanks for advice regarding dialer.

I have a very minor issue, but one that I'd like to solve, if possible. Here's the scenario:
My wife calls me from her work line, and the caller number shows her company's general line - (212) 555-1000. If I go into the dialer and dial it back, I get an operator.
However, she does have a direct extension, (212) 555-1010 - both numbers are under her contact (so I can quickly see that it's her calling). If I miss a call from her, I simply remember to go into the contact and choose the direct number instead of the main number.
What I'd like to know is if there is a way to tell Android when I try to dial "main number" under contact "wife," I really mean "direct number."
I doubt there is a way to do this as it's probably a security issue, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Any ideas?

You can use Tasker to create a profile for this situation
Install Tasker
set Tasker as a device admin:
Settings --> Security --> Device administrators --> Tasker
then in tasker create a new profile:
(+) --> Event --> Phone --> Missed Call
when prompted to enter a caller # hit the magnifying glass --> A Single Contact --> Choose the contact number for your wife's "main number"
then click on the back key and ---> New task (add a name to the task - optional)
now add an action to the task:
(+) ---> Phone ---> Call
When prompted to enter a Number to call, hit the magnifying glass and choose your wife's "direct number"
don't select the Auto Dial option. Then hit the back key twice till you are in the main menu of tasker.
Now every time your phone get a missed call from that "main number", you'll be prompted to call back the "direct number" when unlocking phone.
Just delete the main number form your contact. Then the only option to dial is the direct number..
Hi Everyone.
I have a couple of queries.
1. My Samsung Galaxy S6 edge is G925P which is a Sprint variant. The most annoying thing is that whenever I start the phone, after bootup, it always ask to activate voice commands etc. How to get rid of that?
2. in the messaging settings, I am unable to find the Delivery Reports. i open messages > Settings > More Settings > Text Messages. Here should be the option of Delivery Reports. but here only 1 option saying AUTO COMBINATION.
3. Is there any easy way to factory unlock this phone so that It should not show anything related to sprint including that Voice Activation Thingy?
Your help would be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Danish
