Buggy bugs let me know if you have them too - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

So some finicky things have happend since I got my Note 2 last week.
First is that when I enable speaker phone, im muted and whomever I call can't hear me. I verified this using my wife's phone.
Second, I'm coming from a Galaxy Nexus and a lot of the functionality of Google Now seems lost. For instance, if I say "text so-and-so" it wont do anythung but Google so-and-so...same thing with "navigate" or "take me to" and all other commands...
Did Samsung drop a deuce on Google Now so we'd be forced to use the crap-ball that is S-voice?
Let me know if any one of you has been having these or similar issues.
Also changed my vibrate notification to "heartbeat" but it only does it for calls, not texts.
Edit: running stock, unrooted

Haven't used the speakerphone yet but google now works just like with my Nexus.

Just tested. I have neither of these problems. What is your Note 2 running (stock or rooted)?

wipe data factory reset from asr(android stock recovery).

I have that problem sometimes as well. "navigate home" it searches Google "navigate to (city name)" has worked well for me.

[Solved][Q] GPS voice stuck on DATA CONNECTION LOST

I was using my GPS today to goto my cousins house, and I noticed every time it comes time for my GPS to announce the next turn, instead of saying something like "turn left" it says "data connection lost". At first I thought I was getting bad service, but then I realized I have full 4g and phone signal and my GPS is fine, its just changing the words to "data connection lost".
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm using Google Navigation fully updated on NRG 8/1 stock Rom with the most recent faux kernel. It only started happening, or rather I only noticed it, after I installed the Google Now Zip in the Amaze development section, so later I'm gonna uninstall and try it again. Any other suggestions?

I had a similar issue where it would give me a street name(I was not in my home state and the name was from home) instead of the turns although it was sending me in the right direction. I uninstalled and reinstalled....problem solved. Good luck.
Live and Die on this day....
Did you uninstall Now or Navigation?

Sorry yeah, I asked because I stated in OP that it started after I installed Google Now.
But you were right. Once I reinstalled Google Navigation it fixed.itself. thanks.

I.had it happen where it was just announcing the same direction over and over, but the map was still sending me the right way. I just deleted the app data, and ask was fine again.

Contacts not opening

I have the galaxy S2 but, it's the SCH-R760. What happens is when I tap the contacts app my screen goes black, then pops up the message android process acore has stopped working. My phone is rooted. It's been rooted for a few months now, and this issue just started last week. Anybody have any ideas on the problem, and a fix?

Did you flash a ROM? Or tried flashing one and coming back to stock?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I have not flashed since there is no recovery that I can find for my phone. So I wouldn't know how without that.

I had skype installed, and once I removed it my contacts work again. Why would skype cause that problem?

As Skype does request to access your contact list it is proably related to that.
You might have to try setting your contacts as a default.
I noticed in the past that sometimes it would ask me if I wanted to call contacts using Skype or Phone so my assumption is that somthing with the defaults is causing it to check Skype but it is also causing it to crash
So you're guess is the default contact app got changed to skype right? That makes sense. Whenever I dailed out it asked if I wanted to use skype or the dailer. Thanks
Sent from my SCH-R760 using xda app-developers app
This happened to me once. I had no choice but to delete contacts data from settings and then restore from old backups....
Everything was OK then.

Modal dialog insanity.

I love my Note 2. I would love it even more if I didn't see a modal popup every gps, every mobile data, every maps exit and others. Verizon or stock 4.1.1 issue? Solutions? Mod?

I know that my ROM no longer says anything about GPS, not sure about Mobile Data. Either way, why are you toggling them all the time? I leave GPS on all the time, data is always active unless in airplane mode, and I can still get through a day easily (usually 2+ days) without charging. Also, WTF is "Modal"? You usually get more help with proper spelling and without replying to yourself several times.

i have never seen it before
Does anyone know how to disable it from showing up on the Widget Locker lockscreen? I'm trying to have it so that I have to unlock the phone to see the pop up, but it's not working for me. I put com.ninja.sms in the disable popups thing but it still pops up.
Bought it. It force closes after minimal use on our device. Stock sense 4.

Very odd. I've given it a good 2 hours of total texting use since yesterday on a Sense 5 ROM with no force closing at all. Try re-installing it?

Bought it and it works super fast. New update today with pop up color changes. Dev is very responsive and hopes to make a full sms ap soon. Worth the try!

Trying out this app one thing I don't get is how do I send messages? And is there away to see all my messages using ninja app? Or is this app only a quick text reply app.
Edit: so I guess it's just a quick reply app.

Why pay for this when it does the same thing as facebook messenger . .? Or does it do anything that the chat heads doesn't do bc I can watch YouTube or be on xda and when someone txt me I can't reply quickly to that person or multiple people

This was available before chat heads was so that's part of it.
Also chat heads has seemed laggy to me when typing multiple messages where I don't have that issue with this.

This is a pretty neat app. I think it's pretty useful I like the pop ups. Works with Verizon messaging app and obviously stock. They really should come out with a full message app.

The latest update fixed the stability issues I was having. I'm on my phone 24/7 so the 'chat heads style' icons rock.

Best SMS app I've tried.
I'm very picky with sms apps as I don't like the idea of sharing my my sweet nothings with someone else's server (paranoia alert!) but, this app does what I want without that fear. I like the idea of picking who it alerts to and that I can keep my chats minimised while doing other things. I use sms flash and this app works really well with it as I use that app to alert me for pin codes and everyone else (because I don't use the reply feature) and Ninja for the important peeps. Cheers Dev!

It doesn't popup on lockscreen though. I find that a must have feature that gosms has. I would also like to initiate a conversation on it and you can't.

Google Voice for sure, you can also set it up so it is incorporated into your Phone or Dialer app. Plus email and/or text messages of the transcription it's great.
