Something weird is going on with my phone. I'm currently running rooted stock and every now and then my OSD notifications become delayed by several minutes. An example of this is the volume control. When I press it nothing shows on the screen, the volume changes but the OSD doesn't appear. 5 minutes or so later it does. The same goes for text messages, etc. Restarting fixes it. Any ideas?

I hate to say it but I think you are in need of a factory reset. If that is a little too much to swallow try removing some *shady* looking apps that may be causing bad things to happen.

I've been trying to avoid that. Starting to think I may have to as well.

Factory reset didn't fix it unfortunately. Uggh. Time for a replacement.

Hi guys:
Since I am quite new to here with less posts, I can not post this question to the development forum yet. But I hope someone can help me on the Rom modifications.
The AT&T Note is my first Android device. I like it and rooted and flshed with the modified Saurom VIIa already. But I just could not find a way to ture off the voice alarm on new email arrival.
In stock rom, I only hear a pin drop sound notification of new emails, which is perfect. However, in the Saurom, I now get a female voice alter "one new email" which is annoying when it is quiet or during a meeting. I search almost everywhere on my note and just could not find a way to turn it off. Did I miss anything or is this a "built-in" feature for the Saurom?
Again, I am sorry to post the question here, since I could not potst in the development forum yet. Thanks a lot for your help!
Turn off driving mode in settings.

I had the same problem if you're talking about a sound notification of a new email, only mine was set to a loud and irritating siren noise.
You have to open up the email app and go to menu -> settings and there is a notification section where you can disable or change the tone.

Thanks for the reply. But I was talking talking about "sound" notice, which is fine and can be turn off. I was talking about the "voice" notification, which tells you (in a female voice) "one new email". I can't turn the lady off. Not sure where and how to get rid of it

Where is driving mode? I could not find it in settings......
Sorry this is my first Android device, and not very familiar with the settings yet......
Do these steps:
Settings
Voice input and output
Text to speech settings
Uncheck driving mode
That should take care of it!

Thanks! Got it!
Is there any way to turn the voice prompts off? That is, when I open a folder or go to edit home screen, my phone "talks" and it is quite annoying.
Thanks!

Having the same issue
I'm also having the same issue as you. I think there might be an app in the app store to fix it. I'll try to do some research about it. If i find out any more info, I will let you know.
I have problem also, is this allready fixed somewhere?
+1 this is really annoying! Only way to make sure its not going to shout at you in silent situations is to put media volume to 0. Still effort though, kinda ridiculous.
Driving mode on/off
Or
In setting, accesebilities Talkback ...on/off.............It's for blind and/or disability.

Fixed
Just go to app manager and disable Samsung TTS and Google Text-to-speech. now my touchwizz dont talk anymore
Okay, so my s-voice won't do anything? I say "call mom home" it prints the words I front of me & does nothing? Same thing when I give it a math problem, launch an app, or anything at all? Do I need a replacement or am I doing something wrong? I actually use voice commands alot!
Ok go to settings, application manager, on the top click all find S-voice hit it the click clear data. Hit thanks if this helps!

Clearing data worked & factory reset has worked once alsw, but I don't know why it keeps happening?
Samsung really needs to get their act together with S-Voice. Their software development on this was rushed, and it shows. S-Voice often stops working and requires clearing the App data, and even when it works, the app's inability to understand variation in syntax makes it far more limited than Apple's Siri.
I also notice that when I do a Google search using S-Voice, the web search is done through a Samsung sponsored adsense account, so it's evident that S-Voice is mainly an attempt by Samsung to monetize their users' google searches rather than an earnest effort to improve user experience.
The Galaxy S3 is great phone overall, but I hope Samsung comes out with an S-Voice update that will do this phone justice. Meanwhile, I'd love to be able to replace the double-click home button with Google Search instead of S-Voice.
However, at least I can access vanilla Google search quickly with a long-hold on the capacitive menu button.
I haven't had a problem with it yet. It sometimes gets mixed up and doesn't know what I say.

Lol I was having problems with S-Voice on my International SGS III understanding my words until I changed it from "English UK" to "English US" very odd indeed...
I'm running SVoice on my SGS2 with no problems and it's not even for our phone.
I wonder why you guys are having issues with it?
Powered by the SGSII
only problem i've had is while driving it will pick up the road noise and not end the voice command entry automatically, also if there is too much road noise the app will not audibly alert as it stops if it hears any sound
While not too surprised by it, the performance while driving leaves S-Voice worthless to me. If my window is down, I pretty much can't use it.
Also, I tried using it to launch Waze... it prints the correct name, but then says it can't find the app. I have yet to get it to open a non-default app.

I agree 100%! I use voice commands a lot, and mostly in the car is when I use them. That's the only time you ever NEED hands free control over the phone, and yet it's almost worthless in the car! I have to roll up the windows, close the sunroof, and if the AC is on you can for get it, lol. I think I'm gonna try the original vlingo app I've always used, because I know they are behind svoices software, but it worked better when I downloaded it to replace the Samsung tinkered vlingo on my s2. It could possibly be that the mic on the gs3 is very sensitive though? None the less, every phone has some apps that I don't care for.
Sorry for this noob question, tried searching but couldn't find any similar posts. When i receive a call the ringtone starts in a low volume, then suddenly goes to maximum, is there a setting to remove this please? Iam not using any modified ringtones iam using the stock one.
Thanks for any help....

Sorry, that's the default Samsung behaviour in ringtones
I think you can change it, via root.
That is done by Samsung, for making your life easier. The volume starts low because in a meeting for example where you have forgotten to put your phone on mute, if it rings...it won't annoy or disturbe other people!
In other words, it happens for you to have a few seconds to silence it, before others hear it!

Mine does the same as what the OP is saying. But we are talking under 1 second before it goes from quiet to full in one jump. Surely that cant be deliberately programmed by Samsung?
Thanks for the replies how can it be changed via root? What do you have to do?

You can go and check out the thread in the themes and apps section. Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729717
Thanks for the link, i would rather leave it as it is for now, i just thought there was a setting which would remove this.
