[Q] driving mode - S Voice - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi all,
I have 2 questions/notes to solve:
1. driving mode: text messages under driving mode is enalbed, but when I receive an sms , I have only the notification sound (no text to speech)
Incoming call, allarms, etc. working fine.
It's not really important, but I wanted to see working once.
My mistake/forgot something or it's a bug ?
2. S Voice: If i open S-voice from home buttom (double click), it doesn't work properly. Example: When I ask about time, I see the clock but no voice about time and the application freeze (microphone icon stay blue 5-10 sec.)
If I run S-voice from screen icon, It works fine.
Anyone have same situation ?

(20100718 - version 1.4.1 beta) MissedCallReminder

Hello all,
current version is 1.4.1 beta
my own attempt to add the missing "missed call" and "missed sms" reminder to WM 6, WM 6.1 and WM 6.5
the idea here was to keep it simple. the program can vibrate and or generate a chosen sound at a set interval, to notify the user that there are missed calls or unread sms messages. it will wakeup the device if needed to give the notification.
Note: The program has been created and tested on PocketPC phones only. This program might or might not work correctly on Smartphones.
to use:
install the cab on the device or the storage card.
launch the application and set your preferences.
click apply, the program will minimize. it is neccessary to keep the program running to have it generate new reminders, but it only uses the cpu when needed it does not poll every minute or so to see if a notification came in.
hope that someone will find this usefull
The program currently offers the following:
missed notification for missed call/ sms / mms and e-mail
No reminder when call is in progress
Option to set sound per reminder type (the sounds will,if needed, be generated all at once for the moment, this could be changed in the future)
option to "minimize to taskbar" or "minimize and hide"
Lock screen on phone call connect (I am using this myself and decided to keep it in. it locks the screen using the windows lock when a phonecall is connected. it unlocks the screen when a phonecall is finished. Default this is off, and you do not have to use it if you do not want to.)
Option to set vibrate time in seconds
LED vibrate number can be chosen from 0 till 20
Option to not wakeup the device
Option to not give reminder in set timespan (if you specify from 2300 till 0700, it means that the program will not generate a reminder between 2300 and 0700 each day)
About box
Should display in QVGA/VGA/WQVGA/WVGA
The program uses almost no cpu time, only when it is needed
one "advanced user" registry key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/MissedCallReminder:
debug: Default is "False", if set to "True", the program will generate debug information in a logfile. to help me indentify problems.
NOTE: apparently Omnia devices use the sms count for both SMS and MMS, that means that the program should generate a MMS reminder if SMS reminder is selected. I would like to hear from Omnia users if this is true.
1.4.1 beta release
bugfix: Reminders are given for a notification even if the notification is not selected in the notifications tab. (second attempt )
bugfix: If no reminder between is used the program does not correctly follow the time rule
bugfix: program still vibrates the phone if phone sound is set to silent
TODO (Things that will be in a next version):
Multi language support
WISHLIST (Things that might be in a next version, if i have the time and can make it work)
Option to stop generating a reminder after x minutes
option to stop generating a reminder after x times
KNOWN BUGs (things that,if possible, be fixed in a next version)
A small FAQ
Q: what does Vibrate LED number mean?
A: The LED number specified here is used to vibrate the device. This is different per device. Using the "Menu - Test vibrate" you can test if the number entered in the vibrate LED number field is the correct one for vibrating the device.
Q: what does the menu option "No icon in taskbar mean?
A: the option "Menu - No icon in taskbar" controls the "minimize to taskbar" or "minimize and hide".
When "No icon in taskbar" is NOT selected the program will minimize to the taskbar. the program can only be reopened using the icon in the taskbar. it is not visible in the taskmanager.
When "No icon in taskbar" is selected the program will only minimize. it can be reopened by relaunching the program. it is also visible in the taskmanager.
TouchFlo user should select the "No icon in taskbar". when doing this please close the program and relaunch it for the setting to take effect.
Q: What does "Lock screen on call connect" mean?
A: it locks the screen using the windows lock when a phonecall is connected. it unlocks the screen when a phonecall is finished. Default this is off, and you do not have to use it if you do not want to.
Q: I cannot relaunch the program when it is already running using the program icon.
A: please see post # 2:

Further explanation for the program does not start from program icon
I'll try to explain with some pictures how the program behaves when the no icon in taskbar option is selected or not selected. Just to be sure that it is not the cause for users who are experiencing problems with reopening the program using the program icon:
first situation:
You have installed MissedCallReminder and you start it for the first time, If you change nothing and select Apply the following will now happen:
Menu - no icon in taskbar is NOT selected (noiconintaskbar.jpg)
The program is not visible in any Taskmanager's application list
The MissedCallReminder icon is visible in the taskbar (Iconintaskbarnotselected.jpg)
When this is happening the program will not react to clicks on the program icon in the programs list, it can only be reopened using the taskbar icon.
second situation
You have installed MissedCallReminder and you start it for the first time, you select Menu - no icon in taskbar AND completely exit the application using Menu - Exit. You then restart the program and select Apply and the following will now happen:
Menu - no icon in taskbar is selected (Iconintaskbarselected.jpg)
The program is visible in any Taskmanager's application list (visibleintaskmanager.jpg)
The MissedCallReminder icon is NOT visible in the taskbar
When this is happening the program will react to clicks on the program icon in the programs list.
Request: If users experience this and are certain the above situation is not the case then i would be very interested in what the program registry settings are. if you are able to do this could those users please open a registry editor and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyMissedCallReminder and tell me the value of the key "minimizetotaskbar"
cool.. i'll be using it

Looks neat
Throwing in an idea, hope it's ok. It would be good if you could have reminders for only missed calls and not messages (or the other way around for that matter - looks like you will get the same reminders from both on the screenshots).
I'm biking a lot and don't always won't to stop to read a new message, hence reminders can be a bit annoying. On the other hand, I'm wearing my headset so I always pick up calls

Good Job, it works on my KS20
I like it, it is simple
No Vibrating
No vibrating on ASUS P535!
How do you HTC people cope with the reminder witch turns on the screen. In your pocket, an unwanted touch on the screen could run an application?
The Asus P535 has an HOLD button!
Too bad the button apply can't be reached with a 240x320 (landscape) display like the one used on the IPAQ 914C

when applying the settings you can also specify the LED number to vibrate (default is 1) . please try this. perhaps it will be usefull to have a test option.
regarding the unwanted touch problem, i personally use S2U2, so when the device wakes up i do not have this problem.
what i can do is add an option that the device does not wakeup when a reminder is given. but that does mean that you will not hear any reminder until the device wakes up.

There are programs that still work in SLEEP MODE (for example, autoflight is always telling me the time....even in sleep mode).
*Memory heap size = 1Mb (OsRemindMe = 1,6Mb)

i think the LED number for vibrate could be any number between 0 - 5, but i do not know for sure, it is 1 on my Touch. i must admit that setting the LED number is not very clear for first time users. I do not know how to make it so that it automatically uses the correct number.
I'm in the impression that you can not hear a sound if the device is in sleep mode. but perhaps i am mistaken? Autoflight generates a sound without waking up the device?
Thanks it's great
Always wanted an app like that for my WM6.1
nice piece of work
pretty nice work.. however, it would be good if following things can be revised?
--> can you plz add in a feature "number to repeat". FYI, i'm now using Throttle Launcher. So, i can't trigger off the reminder alarm. it would be good if it stops automatically after x-times (which can be set by user),
OR..
whenever i read/aware the missed call/msg, this reminder program would detect that missed call / unread msg = 0, thus OFF the reminder automatically. (This would be preferable)
Many Thanks....
add in some extra information..

regarding above statements, perhaps i shall further clarify....
a) add in "number to repeat"..
example: reminder will give notification every interval of 2mins for 5 times
I'm now using Touch (with Throttle Launcher interface, 240x320), perhaps this reminder program need user to off it manually? yet, it's too bad that i can't trigger this button... so, i suggest 2nd option which stated above....
Thanks...

if the user dismisses the missed calls and marks the unread sms as read while the program is running ,the program should know when not to give the reminder anymore.
however problems can arise if the program is not running and the user dismisses the missed call/unread sms notifications. the set reminder will then not be cancelled. this should be fixed in the next version. the next version will also have an option to clear generated reminders.
Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Personally I think this program has great potential. Just wish it could be revised to a better software.
I tried it yesterday. It rings to notify me that i have missed calls / unread msg.. somehow, I went to read the msg and checked the missed call.. yet, the reminder won't stop.. (and i din see any button to be pressed to stop, if there is any? )..
plz advise?
Thanks

Deactivate the SMS reader

I had checked with the driving mode... it is off. but still i do have the problem
Either,
Settings- Call- Call alert- Alerts on call- Off/Sound/Voice/Vibration
Or,
Settings- Voice Input and Output- Text to speech settings- Driving mode settings- Untick Message.

no vibration for incoming txt messages

Hi there.
My Sony Xperia S does not vibrate for incoming text messages. The options in
Messages-> settings -> vibration notification is checked.
Also in Settings -> Sound -> Vibrate -> always on .
The phone neither vibrates when sound is ON nor when it is OFF..
Rest it vibrates for incoming calls and keypad touch..
Please HELP..!!!
Go to the messaging app, press the menu button and choose settings. In there youll find the vibrate settings for messages
But agreed. Makes no sense that there isn't a shortcut from the settings app or something
Sendt fra min Xperia S via Tapatalk
try this solution
I used to had the same problem and the solution that work for me was downloading this app called "VIBRATION WIDGET".. You just search for it on the market (i cant post links for now)
This is a widget that when you activate it pops up a window that ask you to turn on the vibration (notifications, calls, etc) just click YES/ACTIVATE and there you have it. Problem solved
Sorry about my awefull english
Thanks button if you find this usefull
DONE..!!!
Finally m done with it..
Factory reset was done..it works now...

Notification problem

Hello,
I am French and I use Google Translate to help me, sorry for my writing ... ,
Here, I have a double problem, we are several to have this problem on S9 / S9 +,
When I miss a call, I used to have a "missed call" icon to notify, only there I have no icons, none on AOD, the lock screen, and on the phone application no logo. ..
I looked in the settings, notification and advanced settings notifications, nothing makes it ... this is very frustrating.
The second problem that follows and concerns all applications that have notifications, I receive a message (SMS) or Snap, so everything works fine (AOD, lock screen etc. ..) and as soon as I launch the application message or snap (application I tried) but without looking at the message the whole thing also disappears, both the "1" on the application on the AOD ....
I am really disturbed by his changes so that I come to you for help, imagine that Samsung's service failed to answer me ....
Thank you again for all the help you will bring me 
Thank you very much,

Question Realme GT 5G - a few functionality issues

Hello,
I have been the owner of the Realme GT 5G phone for 2 weeks - it has Andoird 11 (v RMX2202_11_A.11) with realme UI 2.0. I spent hours trying to configure a few things, but I failed. As I didn't get the desired results, I decided to try to find help on the forum.
So, starting from the beginning:
1. I have a problem with the Facebook Messenger app, because when I work in vibration mode, notifications coming from the app are only signaled with a very short and delicate vibration. This vibration lasts for about 1 millisecond, which I can barely feel when I'm holding phone in my hand and expecting the notification. I checked vibration for notifications from other applications and they work properly.
a) I have all notification settings turned on in the Messenger app.
b) In settings -> Sounds and vibrations -> vibration intensity -> the sliders for the vibration with the ring and the vibration with the notification I have set to maximum
c) Battery settings for Messenger app are "optimization off"
When I have ring mode on, the Messenger notifications are properly signaled with a sound.
So what is wrong with vibration pattern for this app? Why the notifications are not properly signaled? What can I do to get normal vibration notification?
2. I have 2 games in "Game space app", version of the app is 4.5.27_6d29cc7_210603.
a) When I'm using app #1 - the Messenger chat bubbles are on top of the app, so I can see them for the entire time <- and that's what I would like to achieve.
b) When I'm using app #2 - the Messenger chat bubbles are hiding under the app #2, so I have to show the navigation bar (swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen), to see chat bubbles on the screen.
In settings for Messenger I have set "Display over other apps" as on.
Which setting is responsible for this feature?
3. Another problem with notifications from some apps (inter alia: Gmail, and game #1).
I'm using original Always On Display mode.
The problem is that some notifications don't come when the phone is locked and Always On Display is working.
Notifications from text messages, calls, facebook messenger or game #2 arrive normal, at the time of their receipt.
But from Gmail or game #1 notifications only arrive when I press the power button and wake up the screen. So when the screen is locked, there are no chances to get notification from those apps. This is silly because notifications are there to notify you of an event when you are not using your phone. But in this case, they only notify when the phone is in use.
a) Battery settings for these apps are "optimization off", "allow auto startup", "allow background activity".
b) In notification settings these apps have all settings on. They can notify everywhere and everytime but that doesn't solve the problem.
What else can I do, to receive these notifications on time?
Thank you for your help
