my s voice wont stop.... - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well let me start of by saying i bought my galaxy s3 a few weeks ago and up until recently i loved it.
It was super fast i could use it like a mini tablet i absoulty loved this phone,but a few days ago i encoutered a small problem with s voice androids form of suri. Now this problem is kinda strange so i will explain in steps what is happening.
Ok first every 2 hours on the dot s voice pops up and asks me what im wearing and tells me the weather outside is hot and hummid it also tells me that a cold front is moving in.....
When i turn my phone off it wakes itself up and s voice says i need to stop playing hard.
Then well the big problem it starts telling me its gonna do bad things to me and it was me to do things to it.
so why am i having this problem and what can i do to fix it?
-----just incase somone thinks im legit let this be the disclaimer-----
my galaxy s3 has not and is not likely sexualy harrased me s voice has never given me wrong information on the weather.
anyways this thread is about all the crazy rumors you guys have heard on other websites and youtube about the new s voice or the new g3.

Bump.

Spy application

Hello XDA community, I wanted to know if there is a spy application out there that will allow me to record for at least an hour. I ask because I suspect my girlfriend is cheating on me and worst of all I think she's doing it in my crib. I tried out both the stock camera and spy phone but neither seems to record more than 20 or 30 minutes. She starts work latter than me and I think she's had another man in my house.

Lol... I think you need more than a app.

Dam bro. You need to go to your nearest spy shop. Heck buy a digital voice recorder at Super Wally World aka WalMart and leave it recording when you leave. That can record for a couple or more hours. Good luck pal.
Or just go home early if you can?
Isnt there an app for this purpose? I something on current affair where they spy on you thru your own phone.
Bazzle
Thanks for all the feedback so far fellas.

This is probably what I would do. It's small, it's descrete, and it will record while hidden, unlike a camera. Best of luck!
Wow, that sucks! Have you tried the old fashioned method of talking to her?
And if I recall, some of those digital recorders will sit in "standby mode" and only start recording when it detects sound; you can test is with some moaning (sorry, just had to do it).
Best of luck to you...and, don't do anything stupid; no woman is worth jail time
Dunno if you still need help but just stick a camera on record for a ton of hours and hide it in something. A mate of mine cut a little hole in a Mc Donalds drink and popped his camera in there. Caught his wife messing around.
Something real discrete. That or you could just talk to her..
I hope you get it all sorted out soon though. A regular camera set on record for a long time would work fine. Just make sure to use fresh batteries.
Perhaps your phone isn't what you should be using to fix your issue. It'd probably be better for you to talk it out with her, quietly.
Thanks for all the suggestions. Much appreciated

You can use "securet livestream" to see your camera from another place. you can put it even in hidden mode. Or if you have a laptop or a PC with a webcam you can use "vitamin D" its a program that records when a specific point in the screen moves like a dog moving, someone crossing the door or things like that.

[Q] is anyone else getting constant freezes?

I have tried in freezing all the apps to Bo extent and haven't uninstalled anything. I thought it might have been launcher pro so I uninstalled that with no success. It happens frequently when listening to music. Maybe I need a task killer? Help?

Haven't had this problem.
Can't say that I have had this problem.

ive never had that propblem... i dont know what moto did, but this is the most stable android phone ive ever owned, and ive owned just about every one verizon has sold.
Well I can't seeing it being a defect because it allows me to click the app, but it freezes halfway through. Maybe I'm not giving i enough time to boot up..?
I've had this issue as well. Freezing mostly when playing Angry Birds. I'm not sure if it was to do with Wifi since I only play when working at the gift shop and I'm on wifi because no cell service in that part of the hospital

Folders open on their own

I have this problem with my new Galaxy S3. I searched the Internet, and found someone with the same problem. The thread is quoted here:
My folders are opening on their own
If I wake the phone, or close an app, my games folder opens by itself. This also happened with my news folder, I thought it had been a problem with a news app in the folder so I deleted it. But now it's the games folder ! Is this down to an app conflict ? As far as I can see it happens randomly, not triggered by something I'm doing. I thought it might be something to do with automatically opening regularly accessed folders but it's not consistent.
*really hoping you lot aren't getting sick of my inane android-newbie questions*

Is anybody here at XDA having the same issue? It's REALLY REALLY annoying.
Maybe somebody got a solution?
Thanks in advance
It happens to me as well sometimes folders on ny home screen are open after closing apps or returning to home screen. I think it is a bug which will be fixed soon.

I dont think it will be fixed, because i contacted Samsung today, and they wasn't aware of the bug. So we need more people to contact Samsung, to tell them about this.

The person you spoke to wasn't aware; it doesn't mean the developers aren't.

You may be right about that.
But how can we users tip the developer department about bugs?
There is also the bug where the notification sounds is played by the speaker, even if the head phones is plugged in.
And i don't know if this is a software bug, but i also get very LOW sound when the head phones are plugged in. Can easily hear the noise from outside when having the volumen at max and listening to music/radio/what ever.
Reporting in. Got the bug here too. Games folder will randomly open when I quit an app / return to the home screen. It's intermittent and rare but slightly annoying.

Experienced this yesterday at a T-Mobile store and thought I had suddenly forgot how to operate a phone. Glad I came across this thread and confirmed I'm not crazy. Waiting to get hands on with the Incredible 4 tomorrow before deciding which to purchase.

Folder's opening on their own
I have had this on every iteration of the firm available in the UK (BTU). Not experienced it on any other launcher. I would use Apex full time but I have weird widget size problems which is even more annoying.
same here... any news about a fix?
Folder Bug
...having the same problem...pretty annoying. No solution so far. It is always the game folder.
Hi guys,
This happens to me as well. It's always the Games folder. I tried renaming that, thinking that it has to do somehow with it's name. Also, maybe we can trace it back to some of the games inside. Mine are:
Real Racing 2
Angry Birds Space
Zynga Poker
Asphalt 7
888 Poker
So let me know if any of you experimenting this has one of those in the Games folder. Thanks guys!
Regards,
Marius

people cannot hear some times when the S3 is close to my face

has any one experienced problems while talking on the phone? it doesn't always happen but the other person on the line stops hearing me until I move the phone a little away from my face and they can start hearing me again. Its very annoying and weird, maybe it has to do something with the senor? I am on stock but rooted, I tried another rom and same issues.
Even though the mic placement is uite traditional for today's mordendo phones, I do find the GS3 is a bit more sensitive than others. Had some people complain about hearing me when on speakerphone and when I had it on my face.

I also had this issue today when I switched hands the party on the other line could not hear what I was saying, it was like I Was muted, it was only when I moved it away from my face and back were they able to hear me.
Same here . Have had the issue before rooting and after.

Could it be the screen protector messing around with the sensors ? Are the ones with the problem all have screen protectors ?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I have been having the same problem. I'll be talking and for some reason the person on the other end will stop hearing me. So far, they have hung up before I could figure out how to fix the problem.
It only happens when I have the phone next to my face and it doesn't happen with every call. It also has NEVER happened when I use my bluetooth headset.
I do not have a screen protector on and my phone is stock. Sprint is the carrier I am using. I did not have this problem on any other phone I have owned.
Anyone have suggestions to keep this from happening?
I hope it doesn't turn out to be a defect

I'm not sure about anybody else, but I'm using an otterbox case, and I'm convinced that its what is causing my voice to sound muffled, anybody else using a case?

Defects

Perhaps I really just do have bad luck but thought I would share my experiences... I got the One through pre order and the device was solid except for a small gap at the bottom that I could live with. However, about 3 weeks in I was using my speakers to listen to some music using google play all access my device was burning hot when I picked it up from my bed (hot enough to a point in which I actually felt the burning sensation in my palm) I immediately ended all processes and did a restary just to be safe, when the device restarted I noticed there was no boot animation sound and soon realized that my speakers were inoperable and wouldnt generate a sound for anything. Then when I got my warranty replacement I noticed that my screen had a warm tint and flickered quite often and after about an hour of using it thw device shut off and wouldnt turn back on no matter what key combination I tried, and the led wouldnt turn on either. I visited a local at&t store that happened to be the store that the regional manager was visiting that day (the only piece of goodluck) where he just took the device (without box or anything at all just the phone) reversed my upgrade and let me pick any device of the same value for free.. (which I couldnt believe because even customer retention said I was out of luck and would have to try again with another refurb, btw I grabbed a gs4 which im ok with for now, might be back to the One once these issues are sorted out) sorry for the rant but this experience with at&t has definitely instilled some faith for me that at&t isnt always useless.

He's letting others know and maybe asking if its common. People who don't have the One yet, like me, want to know how detective the phone can be. I'm not gonna use my upgrade until later when all of this is fixed with the future batches. Thanks for the info OP!
