So I have had the S3 for a week or so now and I love it . Everything seems to have worked BUT the voice command for taking a picture.
YES the setting is on and YES the box is checked. I have reset the camera options and still the same thing no matter what I say it will still no take a picture. This was one of the features that turned me towards this phone. If anyone has any suggestions they will be greatly appreciated.

Hi all,
My son rooted ny Galaxy Note 2 (SGH-i317). After 3D Launcher crashed it, I tried the Galaxy Toolkit offered by mskip. It seemed to work well. I set the phone back to completely stock. (in the hopes of rooting again). But now I get these messages
a) google.process.gapps has stopped
b) Contacts has stopped
c) Gallery has stopped
When I try to dial a number the phone freezes after the first number then suts down. Contacts open in a plain black screen. At my wits end..ANY IDEAS from anyone will be greatly appreciated. I use this for work (NO my boss doesn't know yet)
Thank you

Hi guys,
I hope that this is the proper forum, if not please direct me to the correct one.
I am currently using a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6, non-rooted.
My problem started about 48 hours ago while I was voice dictating a test message.
I was doing my regular texting with the SwiftKey keyboard microphone (problem also replicates with the Samsung Keyboard as well) and the box at the bottom of the screen would not go away. I tried to X it out, hit the back button and the home button but nothing gets rid of it other than restarting the phone.
This all seemed to start happening after the Google App update.
I rolled back to the old version and it seemed to work fine. Last night, it updated itself again and problem was back.
I have included an image of what I am talking about.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very appreciative!
Thanks

I have to same issue that just happened and same as the screenshot.
Same issue...
This is so freaking ridiculous! A Google update that does this crap?!
I too own a S6 Edge Verizon 128GB and I noticed a couple of things.
If you bring up text to speak and then power off your phone.. Once you come back... you have locked it (Until restart)
I tried the following...
1) Reset the Dalvik Cache .. No luck.
2) tried force closing TTS and samsung text to speech.. no go.
3) Uninstalling latest update to the high quality voice. .. No Go.
4) Tried holding both buttons at the Same Time... No go..
5) For quibs and giggles.. Held down the close "X" for 5 whole minutes.
********************************************
What I think is going on is a time out error in the code.
So how i am able to get around it RARELY is..
Bring it up with the microphone button
Say what I need to say then hit the X to close it as FAST AS I CAN!!
I know that with all of our phone hackers, crackers and experts that we can ALL reach a Fix on this.
Damn Google...

One way I found that I can close it is by opening the menu that has active apps, then going to RAM, next turn the phone on its side (<--- yes do that), then hit clear memory a few times. And done its gone.
Thanks! That worked on my Sprint S4! (restarting phone has also worked for me, but this is easier.)
After holding down Home button to open the menu that has active apps, the options were still covered by the text to speak box. So I had to FIRST turn phone on its side to make visible the pie chart icon on bottom left, THEN then going to RAM tab and hiting clear memory a few times. When I turned it back to portait orientation, the text to speak box was gone. Thanks!
This has been happening to me all day long. so frustrating. I am also not the tech savy one in the house and hubby is not around. So thanks for the quick answer to get rid of it until he can uninstall the new update. Thanks
What is the pie chart menu option? What is the RAM tab? And will just be a little easier for Google to fix this? Lol
same problem here
Galaxy S6, same problem, started last night (September 24, 2015) . I do know that some updates were performed last night, not sure what. How do I uninstall the update? Which one is it? Help! I use voice typing constantly, and my phone is a brick when this thing locks up. It covers all my buttons. "Restart" doesn't clear it, I have to totally power off and back on. Right now, I have disable my voice key on my keyboard so that I don't accidentally touch it while waiting for solution.
Me too - just started today after some updates yesterday.
Same here....has anyone responded with a fix yet??
THANKS!
Glad it's not just me and my Note 3, but where does google get off sending out this kind of crap? It's enough to drive me to a windows phone.
Having the same issue only way I can get ride of it is to turn off my phone
same issue on moto droid mini; have to turn off phone too! poor QA google!!!!!
Me too. Galaxy S4. Have to shut the phone down and restart it to resolve the issue.
Piece of crap
Note 4 same problem started on the 24th

I have a stock ATT Note 4 which finally received the M update (yay!) except it kinda broke my gear s (boo!) Watch is working, as far as a watch goes, and still connects via bluetooth. However, I am not getting even one single notification for ANYTHING. I have not changed any settings. The only thing I've tried was a factory reset, which did nothing excpet lose my pedometer steps for today. Any clue? I really, REALLY miss getting those notifications...which is my primary use for my beloved Gear S. Please help!

Check the app permissions for the Samsung Gear app elements, make sure they're enabled

This issue was solved by doing a factory reset on my watch. Oddly, it didn't start working properly until a couple hours later, but it does now give me notifications again! I hope this helps someone else that may be having the same problem.
I have a galaxy s6 edge+ with a newly installed ROM (SmokkieROMv4) which I absolutely love because it's so snappy and battery life is awesome! It's like a brand new phone. Props to the makers!
Specs:
Android 7.0
Kernel: 3.10.61 SmokkieKERNEL_v2
Build number: SMOKKIEROM V4
Phone Model: SM-G955F (Galaxy s6 Edge+
Here is my problem, everything works great besides being able to talk to people!!! If I call my voicemail it automatically hangs up after exactly 6 seconds, if I call any other numbers it has no dial tone or any noise whatsoever but I think it does connect...just no sound.
Things I've tried:
1. Factory reset
2. Clearing all app data/cache/dalvik
3. Installed various phone/contacts .apk's and set them to my default calling app, and disabled the ones it came with. I did set all the permissions for the newly installed .apks with the same results when I call someone.
4. Disabled S voice and google assistant (Unable to toggle "Ok Google detection" in the google app because it's grayed out(disabled) for some reason.
5. Tried a different ROM with 7.0
Please if anyone knows how to fix this it would be very much appreciated as I do love this new update very much and everything else works flawlessly!

Interesting... Well, atleast i now know im not the only one with this issue....
the only somewhat fix for this is(and its not really a fix) and you can actually use the phone. Is to make sure you are connected to wifi and have wifi calling enabled and set as a priority use. It really sucks cause if your on the road or not home or whatnot that wont work, obviously.. I use skype alot with my data,which is somewhat ok for me.. IDK if Whatsapp would work as a bypass or not? ive never used it so im not sure with that. But theres definitely a major glitch somewhere in the samsung software or drivers for the phone itself. Cause unlike yours, mine is stock. No root,Roms etc.. just apps..
Im running 7.0 SM-G928T
Ive also talked to the tech guys for my carrier (T-Moblie) with no prevail what-so-ever... Question, is your phone in mint condition? .
Whatsapp
Yes whatsapp does work for me and is what I have had to use the past couple of days. Everything besides the actual phone app works correctly lol. But of course after playing around some my phone screen just shot out on me for some reason. It just blinks random colors and stays black most of the time. The last app I installed was called "Root Essentials" and shortly after my phone starts doing this. I have no idea how to fix. Can't afford a new phone at the moment either. Definetely need it to work though as it is used for work. Thanks for the help anyways.
Good afternoon,
I am trying to get into settings (gear icon) while in camera and it goes into settings for a split second and goes back to camera. I can not get into camera settings while in camera or if i go to the camera app and try from there? Does anybody know how to fix this issue? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dave
I don't know if it helps but did you already clear app data?
Yes, I have Pioneer. I cleared app cache first and then app data. Still to no avail. Today is the 3rd day I have had this phone.
Does anybody know if Best Buy still has a Samsung center in it for technical issues?
If so, will they charge me or fix it for free. If they do charge, I will return this phone and get AT&T to mail me another one. i hate to do that because I have all my settings fixed on this new phone.
That's very strange. You have a touch panel issue of some app is interfering.
Try to boot into safe mode and see if it happens. If it works, you may have some app interfering in camera software. Don't know.

I have fixed the problem. The problem was in Settings -->Developer options-->Don't keep activities. I turned it off and now everything works. It's strange to me but everything is working now.
