Hi
As above im wondering if the S3 can read out loud a text message like you can do with the iphone 4s ?
I have tried various settings and searched internet but cant find anything .
Hopefully im just missing something obvious as i can see the " Text to Speech" setting but i just can get it to read out anything
Im going nuts cause it was so easy on iphone but i cant figure this out at all .... nothing in manual that was helpfull either .
Thanks

I'm texting this girl I want to get with and she say that every text says "Hi, my name is david and you have the wrong number". It said something different when I was on CleanROM, and because of said problem I switched to SteelROM. Now I have the same problem.
Is it something caused by the ROMs because this only happened when I switched from Synergy.
I'm going back to Synergy now. I also have this thing when someone calls and I click to answer it, it says that someone is calling and I have to press '1' to answer it.
How can I fix this. It's pissing me off because this chick is getting mad and that's not good for business. lmfao But seriously, please help.

the press 1 to answer thing is a google voice issue.. the text maybe as well.. how long ago did you set it up?? go to the google voice website from a computer and check through all of your settings, i know from there you can change the press 1 thing.. i would then look at the settings for that person individually..
i know my best friend had almost the exact same thing happen with a girl that he was interested in.. but he just wouldnt receive her texts, she didnt get a random text back.. he ended up unsubscribing from voice to fix it, because he didnt want to take the time to fix the settings.

I believe the problem here is the fact that I nor anyone else who has looked at this has any idea what the OP is talking about.
It doesn't help that he abbreviates horribly and uses SMS slang. Nor the fact that he seems to explain his thoughts thoroughly.
Please help us help you, by taking the time to properly type out the problem or situation you wish to correct. Without basic information or even understanding the problem there is no possible way for us to help you.
Flash SMSs are
Flash SMSs or class 0 sms are SMS, but are not shown normally and it doesnt go into the inbox
They are shown as a popup with an OK button only. Once you press OK, the message is gone. It is used by some service providers as a means to tell (mostly pre-paid) users how much money they spend for the last call/sms/mms/data activity etc.
I hope this will raise this thread from the dead as i want to block my data usage flash sms.
Anyone? I really want to disable the constant popups from my service provider.

not a flash sms, but also very annoying (might address your case too):

Solution to Block Flash Messages Display on Screen
=======================================================================================================
I suffered a lot the same way as u r getting flash messges too many times, i called my serivce provider(idea), but they didn't help me.
Finally i found an app which could solve my problem. Yes, my problem solved 100%. I am very much happy now. I am not getting flash msgs on my screen after installing this app.
You can disable Flash Messages in your mobile, if ur mobile is an Android.
Go To Google Play, search for USSD Blocker, Install "Balance Update/USSD Blocker by Sriram Melkote"
I hope this app will help you, if u r an Android User.
I am getting annoyed by this stupid flash notification I get everytime when i send an sms (particularly in india)
Is there anyway to disable this thing ? it is very very annoying.. hope the experts here would help me out with
call service provider and shout at them..
droid is doing what they are sending. if you want to disable popup completely from inside of os then you might need to dig out the source of generation
completely isnt a good option... as we would need to see our balance now and then.. and even last call cost...
just for sms would be better.. even after rooting these stupid things cant be get rid off.. lot of searching and stil couldnt find any solution
You can try search in android apps and games section "balance update / USSD blocker".

You service provider is responsible for this, nothing to do it with android... Try contacting them!

Thanks a lot bro, it worked.. was searching a long time for this thing..
Hey,
I have a weird problem.... Sometimes (like 2-3 times since i bought my phone in june) i search for something and then a pornpage shows up instead of the searchresults. I use chrome. Believe it or not, but i have never searched for porn or watched porn on my phone....
Anyone who can help me troubleshoot this?
PS! Please, if you cant control yourself and have to answer something stupid, then try to ignore this post.
Thanks
Could looks like network spoofing, do you trust your network provider ? I mean, are you connected to a free hotspot ?

It will be linked for the search results that you have used on your pc whilst logged into your gmail account
The tabs are linked between your chrome browser on the PC and the Chrome browser on your phone whilst logged in with your gmail account

So how can i get rid of that?
You'll never hear me complain about that!
Does an actual website show up? And if so, same one every time? Or are the search results returning porn sites?
Assuming it's an actual site. So you type in the search bar, hit "search" and the site just pops up?
Are you absolutely sure you are on Google when searching? Maybe it's a spoofed web address made to look like it that you somehow bookmarked... Or are you searching in the chrome address bar?

Check your chrome at home and clear all history and tabs and this should stop it.

Yes but in his case it's a page which show up (I guess), not a search suggestion ...
I had that problem also on my S2. I was a free app that was doing that.

Yes and actual porn page shows up. Dont remeber what page, but always the same. I type in the search field in chrome (not at google.no page) and the page comes automatically up. The searchresults for the actual word is ignored.

Doesnt have to be a suspect app could just be one that has an agreement with an ad company to make more money from the app
I had some free moving wallpapers installed for my children.
But there actually is a lot of "extras" installed and not always cleanly removed when removing the app.
I ended up wiping the phone and start fresh.
OK thanks guys for quick responses Most probably an app that's causing it. Weird that they can overrule chrome's searchresults...

Nop, you are getting search suggestion on what have you searched. That's why I have the web search history turned off: https://history.google.com/history/?hl=en&ctz=-120
you can also out-out here: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ or remove the porn websites from your "interest" list
are you logged in to your google account on your PC or laptop? and is someone else using it? If so maybe chrome synced search results from pc to your phone

In my case i got the result page before "hitting enter" So it was really annoying, but it did not happen all the time.
Could be your search provider??
Is there an option to change search provider in chrome?

Hey Friendz can we really hide "last seen" on WhatsApp..??
.
.

Yes there is a small trick, which i found out yesterday..
For me i have a samsung galaxy 5 and no internet on my phone(but it also works on phone data plan) i use Wifi, the trick is for me to have wifi on so i can recieve messages and once i do, i just turn off my wifi and then open the whatsapp message. after that you can even type a reply if you want send it, close whatsapp completly and start your wifi again. it wel then send the message but you wont have come online, my friends still think its freaky that i was last online 3 days ago while im still talking to them the only downside is that you yourself then cant see when someone else was last online cause to get that information you need to be in the message and online. hope this helps.

thanks! It's much better than the previous method!
But it would be better if it can automatically connect whatsapp again when I return to homescreen, so that msg can be sent and last seen can be hid as well!:fingers-crossed:

yes that you can just take another phone add a contact that you want to see and you can spy their status without being seen! I'm surprised you didn't figure this out obviously you can do many tricks for this. one is saving multiple data profiles for whatsapp and it requires root
another way for anyone, stock unrooted phone, is installing and uninstalling or clear data, change sim etc etc

you need to use titanium backup, make a backup of whatsapp. Then delete whatsapp data and create a new account with a new phone number.
You might need to move the old backup from /sdcard/TitaniumBackup saved as .tar.gz to some other folder and then you can swap whenever you need to change profile.
I hope you can understand what I mean!
maybe I'll try it
thanks! It's much better than the previous method!
