I've seen a couple official Galaxy S 3 adds. They usually focus on S Voice. In the ad they can change the song and increase/decrease volume from the music player by just speaking. I keep trying but it doesn't work.
I'm not lazy. I actually hate S Voice. Just wanted to know if it's false advertisement..

Hi all,
i picked up a skyrocket about 2 weeks ago (coming from iphone 3gs) and was really disappointed to find out that the skyrocket does not support bluetooth initiated voice dialing.
what i mean is that i have a plantronics voyager pro (awesome headset) where i long press the button on the headset and it then beeps to prompt me to say "call so-and-so" this way while driving i don't have to look down at the phone at all.
this does not work with the skyrocket. i chatted with samsung tech support and they confirmed this is not a feature they included on a 250 dollar flagship phone and have no plans in the future to include it.
does the sgs2 allow for headset initiated voice dialing? specifically with the voyager pro or more generally any headset that you have tried? thanks!
I have a Galaxy S2 and I use a Motorola Finity bluetooth headset and voice dial works fine.

You might get more play on this in the Skyrocket forums rather than the i777 forums. The i777 has a samsung version of vlingo installed from the factory that works quite well for headset button initiated voice dialling (talks back to over the headset). I'm surprised that skyrocket doesn't have this, but there are a couple other options.
First is Google voice actions - should be available in the market I believe
second (probably better) is vlingo in the market - free app does what you want...

Why would he get more play in the skyrocket forums when he is specifically asking about the i777?

Gah. you are correct, I misread the post as asking how to get the features he was looking for on skyrocket, rather than what i777 has.
My apologies to the OP, you are in the right place.

Sorry about the confusion guys- to clarify I meant that I currently have the skyrocket and am thinking about switching to the sgs2 if the battery life is better and it supports bluetooth headset initiated voice dialing.
Thanks for the replies so far! Anyone else used any other BT headset other than the moto others have already mentioned?
I currently use a Sony HBH-DS980 and don't have any issues with Bluetooth Voice Dialing.

I use the Jabra Cruzer2 handsfree speaker phone and it works well - I did jettison the Vlingo app as I found it annoying to use and always kept my screen on (older market version, may have fixed in recent updates). I use ChoiceDialer as all I need it is for voice calling - I have no need for the other features that vlingo brings to the table.

I have no problems initiating a voicedial from my bluetooth headset, so long as the phone isn't in standby (black screen). That makes it pretty useless though, because if I'm driving with my phone in my pocket, I can't pull it out and enter my password to make the voice dialing work.
Does your voice dial work, even when the phone is in standby with a black screen?
There was another thread on this issue. I have the same problem. If the screen is locked with say the pattern lock the bluetooth headset will not initiate by pressing the button on the bluetooth headset.
Hmmm, am I doing anything wrong or what?
Anytime I tap Voice Command or Voice Talk then give it a command, it shows Processing with a cycling circle then hung.
It happens with or w/o bluetooth.
If it's hanging, then that doesn't sound like something you've done wrong. It should never hang.

It doesn't do that on miui.
I use a Motorola s305 and voice dial works fine. I didn't install any extra programs. Just hit the button on my headset and it worked. IIRC stock was that way to, but its been so long since I've run stock ...

Anyone know how I can get the UK female voice back for text to speech I had before my android 4.0.3 ICS update last night ? It's a dreary voice but one I got used to. I'm pretty sure it's the same voice that I'm still getting in Google satnav. If I could get the satnav voice into text to speech it would be great.
In language and input under text to speech output, I can choose either Google text to speech or Samsung TTS to read out my text. Google has one american female who sounds more phillipino and one english male whose voice sounds shaky. And in Samsung TTS, there's just one english voice, another female who sounds phillipino. Is that all the options I have for text to speech voices, have they taken away the voice I used to have? I use it to read out my appointments in my Calendar Snooze app. I read about Ivona text to speech on android market to add more voices but it says it's incompatible with my device so I didn't download it.
hello i have a nexus 5, i listen new music on my car using that phone, i would like to have an app that turns on the screen with the name of the artist-song im listening to...
for example if im listening to rancid-time bomb, i want the screen to tell me that for about 5 or 10 seconds.. then if another song starts then the screen should turn on and tell me that im listening to other artist other song.
do you know an app or xposed module that allows to do this?
are you an app developer than dares to create this kind of app?

I have something better then that so that you don't need to look away from the road.
1.)Grab this app Utter https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brandall.nutter Install it, Open it.
2.)A notification for it will now be at the top, Select it, It will greet you with some form of greeting, It will then beep prompting you to tell it what to do.
3.) Say to it "Announce Notifications" it will open accessibility options and tell you to enable accessibility for utter, enable it.
4.)Repeat step 2, And again tell it to "Announce Notifications" This time it will say that it will announce notifications.
5.)Open your music app, Play a song. Make sure your music player of choice has notifications, otherwise this won't work.
6.)lock the phone and the next time the song changes utter will announce it for you. For me personally it comes out as "A notification from Spotify saying: Crown (Album Version) Explicit - Jay Z"
To stop Utter from announcing repeat step 2 but this time tell it "Turn off notifications" Also utter will use the default system google voice which in my opinion is poopy, So i use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ivona.tts.voicebeta.eng.gbr.amy It sounds more natural and it's just nicer. If you decide to use the voice i linked you need to set the phone to use it and make utter use it also in its settings. Utter WILL announce anything it receives, and i mean anything. It may be a good idea to disable notifications for most things while using this so that your music sessions in your car aren't interrupted much. Last but not least Utter is useful for tons of things just take a look at it's command list and you'll see, hope this is as helpful as i hope it may be. Cheers.
The utter method worked but I can't listen to it properly since the music is playing louder than the voice notification, I rather see the name of the screen is there a way?
notification of songs please
hello i have like one month trying to make my nexus 5 to wake up every beginning of song
telling me artist-song in my display
i don't want to listen a voice notification
only watch who is playing now..
i want an app similar to knock2 or dynamic notifications
that actual works for this thing i want
because knock2 and dynamic has worked for whatsapp and other apps
but is not working for ttpod music app
I think this may be a Samsung generic problem, but does anyone know if there is a way to stop notifications interrupting music playback without having to mute the phone? Really annoying having to do this every time.

I have exactly the same problem - it was not an issue when I was on the HTC One (M7). The S6 is a lovely phone, but I really want control over this.
The fix I have at the moment is the "Don't Pause" app, which detects when you are listening to music and puts the phone on vibrate, but what I really want is a subtle audio notification which does not pause the music or interrupt my podcast.

Thanks for the tip. Yeh, I'm coming from an M8 and it used to just play the notification over the top of the music which was fine as you usually couldn't even hear it anyway. I'll check out that app.
Thanks!
Seems to me like a software feature. Using the stock music player, notifications would pause the playback of music and then resume after. I didn't like this behavior either. I started using Poweramp. It has a "Short Audio Focus Change" option that I turn off. Now my notifications play over top of music.

I also come from HTC and this issue is driving me nuts. Even when notifications are muted my device is pausing when I use Google Messenger to SEND a text message. I've no idea why sending a message would cause my music player (Spotify) to pause briefly.
The same when I use my watch's "ok Google" feature - the music on my phone stops playing... that makes no sense to me. Why would the "ok google" feature of the watch pause the music on my phone while listening?
This also happens on Google Play Music. Really annoying.

If you use Lightflow, you may be able to do this by setting up your app notifications in Lightflow and then selecting "Audio Focus Ignored" in the Labs tab in Lightflow and it may fix it.
I know it worked on my Nexus 5 but I'm unsure whether it will work on the S6. It's worth a try if you're already using Lightflow for LED control.
More people are joining...and the plot thickens:silly:

Disable the outgoing sound in the settings of Google messenger to get rid of that issue.. But as for the rest, I've learned to live with it.

This is the most annoying thing ever about the Samsung S6. I just got it recently having switched from a One Plus One. Now I remember why I left Samsung before. This has been a recurring issue since the S1. On top of that, the audio notifications seem to be delayed and come after the vibration i.e. phone vibrates then and then the sound comes when a notification occurs.
Has anyone also experienced when headphones are plugged in with music playing and a notification occurs, the headphones cut off and music plays from the speakers?? This is especially frustrating when I'm on the bus or a quiet place.
Samsung really needs to fix this annoying issue.
hello everyone, i also was going through this annoying problem but for me i found the best solution on my galaxy s6, when im listening to my music . I went to settings clicked "sounds and notifications" then clicked "do not disturb" and turned it on . then scroll down on exeptions and u can turn off alarm , calls, messages . The cool thing is the notifications go throw u can see your notification light blinking and with no interruptions and once you stop listening to your music turn off "do not disturb" and everything back to normal. To me its the easy way on my galaxy s6 with out downloading extra apps and it works great ...
Hope it helped you guys out and can enjoy your music without any interruptions
Just to say "me too!". Sooooo annoying when listening to music or audio books. Can we some how let Samsung know about this?

I use Tasker to put my phone into "do not disturb" mode when my headphones are plugged in. I had it set up to go silent when I had my music app open before and found the headphone thing to be more effective. I haven't tried to just make it quieter, but it's probably possible.
Something to mess around with. Plus, Tasker does a ton of other cool stuff. Totally worth the $3 for the level of automation they offer.

Thank you that's been annoying the hell out of me but have changed settings now thank you! ?
This issue is still not resolved I take it? I cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn that crap off on my A3. I'm using Google Music.
When I listen to music the only thing that should interrupt is high priority communication. Basicly just phone calls and emergency/gouvernmental alerts. Evertything else is low-priority communications and won't ever take precedence over my music but I don't want to turn the notifications off completely.
The guy who figures having random whatsapp messages disturb your music experience obviously doesn't use his phone for listening to music while participating in several Whatsapp groups.
Hii everyone
I was facing same issue in Mi Max MIUI 8 running android MM.
I started using music folder player 2.1.4
preferences->behavior->handle audio focus->choose ignore audio focus.
Music didnt pause by incoming msgs (text,whatsapp, mails, etc).
Thanks.
Please share ur experience.

Wow you solved this for me after years of looking for a solution! Thanks!
For anyone interested, in Poweramp, go to Settings > Audio > Audio Focus and uncheck "Short Audio Focus Change"
Uconnect/ Bluetooth devices
I FOUND A FIX.
For me, using the Uconnect setup incoming sms message announcement did NOT work. It works ONLY for when you are listening to the radio. I like to use my music apps on my phone like Apple Music and like other people, Samsung Milk Music or others and when listening to this I would still get the extremely frustrating "New SMS message from (insert name) press uconnect phone button to..." blah blah and whenever I hit cancel to escape that long interrupt it would take 10 seconds to get back to my music and sometimes it would pause my music and while driving you cant simply go back in and play it. I figited with EVERYTHING. I tried the uconnect manual, I tried to disable notifications for both my message+ app I use and Apple Music and neither worked but the answer was much more simple than I thought. Here it is: go to your settings that has all the options like wifi, airplane mode etc... tap your bluetooth option and it should pull up not only the uconnect you have paired but all the otger bluetooth things you have paired. Next to it is a gear icon. Tap on that and it will appear all the thing uconnect has access to like media audio (music, videos) call audio, contact access and MESSAGE ACCESS. TURN THAT OFF. THIS WILL STOP INTERRUPTIONS DURING YOUR MUSIC APPS AND SUCH.
I have not used this with other bluetooth devices but it worked for my car and I hope it works for you too.
Long time ago I used to have Nokia N90, Symbian OS, it has a very good app call AutoPilot where I can let my phone automatically answer a caller with a custom answering voice such as "hello the person is not available, please leave your message". The app mute my mic so that the caller cannot hear me including the environment. The app also can auto record voice for specific caller. I also can put background music etc.
Now, using galaxy note 4, I'm looking for the similar app but I could not find one that compatile with my phone. Is there any such app exist in Galaxy Note 4?
I have tried this but it works only for other phones:
