[Q] S Voice FAQ/How To/Tips - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Google seems to be fairly devoid of any useful information about the specifics of S-Voice. I was wondering if we've started anything like a FAQ for S Voice around here yet?
S Voice seems to be full of hidden or not so easy to find options. For example, my fiance and I both got Galaxy 3's at the same time. After messing around with the phones for several hours we got to the point where whenever she received a text message or call, S Voice would announce that person's name (EX: Incoming call from Samantha) while mine did not. It took us about 5 days to figure out this had to do with driving mode.
Driving mode: Incoming calls and new notifications will be read out automatically:
You can toggle driving mode by double tapping the home key and telling S-Voice "Driving mode on/off" or by going to Settings-->Language and input-->Text-to-speech output-->Driving Mode
What tips/tricks/Easter Eggs have you come across so far?

Great idea for a thread. Seems the voice apps never have very complete documentation on what you can do.

settings, language and input, then turn on voice cmd for apps,
now you can say answer or reject a call, say cheese to take a picture, say snooze to the alarm and control you music by saying next, previous etc etc
don't forget to hit the Thanks Button if I help you

Cool...one caveat: works on only certain apps. For example, this does not work on in Mixzing, but does work on the Stock Music Player.

Kudos to Samsung or Vlingo for this, I'm a big fan of Hitchhikers Guide so today when I asked S Voice "What is the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything?" I was pleasantly surprised by its thrifty response.

[APP][2010-02-06]Google Voice Visual Voicemail

I've developed a finger friendly application that allows you to access your Google Voice mailbox right from your handset. Right now, it's pretty simple and just lets you see who called and when and play the voicemail but I'm planning on adding more features such as starring, marking items as read, and transcriptions pretty soon (right now it is 'read only' per say).

Under the white boxes is people's names. It cross references the phone numbers with those in your address book to display by name instead of just the phone numbers. Some caveats/requirements... it utilizes the Silvermoon project for the GUI and therefore requires OpenGL support. It will "work" without OpenGL however it will be rather slow. Also, it saves the configuration and voicemails to \Storage Card\GoogleVoice so it requires a storage card to be present.

Let me know what you think and what sort of features you'd like to see as well as any bugs.
Looks nice. Thanks!
Awesome Thanks!!
It's work just a bit slow
This is a great app, hope RustyGrom can improve the performance of it. Thanks!
I am running this on my Touch Pro2.. Works pretty good. Still some issues with the screens, but over all a great app. If I can help beta test I would love to help.
And thank you very much for your hard work.
This is almost exactly what I've been looking for... however, on my TP2, all I get is a black screen with the soft buttons on the bottom.
Have you ever used Skype for Windows Mobile? Their mobile visual vm inbox is EXACTLY what I want to do with GV... But if I could get this app to work, it would be start...

Google voice app question

Hi everyone,
I currently have my sprint number setup with google voice, and I'm using google voice to manage my number. I have multiple greetings for work, meetings and stuff and I found out that there's no feature to schedule certain greetings to play on the website.
Does anybody know of a work around to do this, or an app for android that can set a schedule and change the greetings directly from my phone?
Thanks.
Nothin, huh?
None that I know of. I searched around and was unable to find anything.
WUESTSIDER!

groov,
Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but you can edit greetings by going into Contacts and selecting one, which brings up this screen:

Then click on Edit Google Voice Settings and you get this screen:
It allows you to record new greetings or select from existing ones. If that's not what you meant, don't mind me. I often get confused.
And don't you guys harass my locksmith!

Thanks, but what I'm trying to do is have my greetings switch around at certain times. Oh well...manual it is.
Makes sense, I don't have a clue.

There's very few voicemail services that provide such a feature.

[Q] Google Voice Typing Correction and Keyboard overlap

hello, its been a lot while since i login and come to xda, im here when i have o2 windows "mobile" 6/6.5, now i am an android user, using sony xperia z with 4.3
enough with introduction, as the title said, i have problem about the google voice (GV for now) and keyboard, im not the same as everybody with missing GVT or wanting to disable it, i actually like it a lot, especially because it support my language (not english).
using voice input is easy:
1. i press the GV icon
2. i talk
3. text coming out, there will be miss typed/heard sentences
4. you know, if the system doubt your speech and want to correct it, you just tap the word with grey underline,it indicating that it have multiple option
5. then you choose the correct sentences
sadly, my step number 4 is a problem, because the correction that pop up to correcting/delete sentences is being blocked by keyboard, that is why i say it also a keyboard problem. so i cannot choose anything from it. and i have this problem since 4.2.2, the first day i upgraded it to 4.3 is okay, but suddenly it happen again. i don't think i will resetting or formatting because i have a lot of app and chat history that i cannot delete
and lastly, what do you called that correction feature? because i search over internet and i cannot find someone with this problem, possibly i don't use the correct keyword.
here is the screenshot and i highlighted the point of this thread with red in case you want to skip reading.

S9 bug

Same for me... I'm using an s9. I've been woken up several times because of it. I use both DND and turn sounds to silent now. It's my first Android phone after having many years of iPhones and I'm starting to regret the switch. Such a simple thing to not have QAd before release..
Seems to be working fine for me. The only notifications sounds I get with DND set to custom are alarms.
Looking at your screenshot, it looks like you've told DND to allow notifications from apps. Try turning off the "Allow reminders" option and see what happens.
I have no exceptions, including turning off alarms, and calls still very through intermittently

Question Is it possible to disable notification vibration from all apps except calls and messages?

I was taking a nap yesterday and had my Galaxy S22 right next to me. Right before I fell asleep, it vibrated. Which app as it? It was weather! Weather for ****s sake! I disabled vibration on it but would like to do for all other apps except for calls and messages.

Yes. Settings -> Notifications ->
Tap more and toggle off the apps you want to stop notifications for.
You can also set up Do not disturb and have only phone calls get through or phone calls from numbers you set as favorites.
I use the Do not disturb function. I set it up to turn on at a certain time in the evening and turn off at a certain time in the morning. The only notifications I allow are for contacts that are in my favorites.
I want it so when DND is off, vibration is off for all apps including phone and messages, but when it's off, only those two apps vibrate. Is there a way to just make all apps not vibrate and with exceptions?
Edit: I got a solution from this Reddit comment. I created this rule with the BuzzKill app. I tested it using a notification tester, making notifications when the rule was on and off. I also checked if calls and messages would vibrate with do no disturb off, and silence with DND off (which I want it to), and it does.
