Help. So I was playing robo defense. Got a text and it automatically read it out loud.
Was using handcent. Deleted robo defense and handcent and its still reading them out loud with stock messaging app. Phone on vibrate or loud. Doesn't matter...
I get text it says out loud number and message..
Update: when someone sends me a text it no longer automatically pops up. I have to turn phone on for notification of text and it to be read out loud...
How do I make it stop?? Please. Thanks.

Try the accessibility menu in settings.
What am I looming for?
Says no accesibility apps.

possibly a setting under 'voice input & output / text-to-speech settings'
I looked there. Don't really see any options. Is there a way to.turn it off completely?
It just turned on at random. Thinking bout putting it in some other language so no one understands it.
Holding off on factory reset. Until nexus comes out.

There's an app for that!
Did you install it?
This has got to be the most incriminating bug ever! If my texts got read aloud every time I got them, I would not be alive to post this here today... lol
I think you have some shady friend who downloaded an app on your phone to make this happen.

Defintiely did not install any app or let anyone install anything on my phone.
Again, it happened while I was playing robo defense, I received a text and it read it out loud while i was playing. It then started to read them no matter what.
Just did a factory reset. Hopefully that fixed it.

I was going to say, uninstall handcent. There is probably a feature in it that does that

Factory reset fixed it..
I deleted handcent thinking that was the problem but it continued on stock messaging app. So I dunno.

lmao... I can imagine the messages from my drunk friends being read out loud!!! Hahahaha... Hell, texts from my sober friends would be bad enough.
Glad you got it fixed, but also glad you posted this thread. It really made me laugh.
Same here!
I have this same issue myself, it must be a bug. Luckily it always stays on vibrate. It started out of nowhere and I don't feel like doing a hard reset yet. I looked at every single possible option and none were selected. Hope the next MR update will fix it! HTC and VZW are normally very timely and effective at updating their phones so I'm not too worried. I must say, I don't have a single other bug in this phone which is impressive for such new hardware these days.

I remember this happening on my hd2 on winmo. I think voice cmd had accidentally been turned on.
I hope you weren't sexting.
My htc amaze is restarting it self when i go to update the weather while having the wireles on and i exhange the phone before two times with the same problem. WHat could be the solution?
Likely an app causing a conflict. Try a factory restore and test the weather widget before reloading your apps. It will likely work and if so start installing apps one by one while testing after each.
Its a long process and I've gone through it with an Inspire 4G, an app was killing my auto rotate.
Good luck!

The problem is that the 30 day period expire already and i change the phone 3 times already so they might not exchange it

exactly my thoughts, if it's happening to 3 different phones it's likely an app that you're installing, uninstall that one app do a factory reset and see if it's still doing it. be honest is it a naughty app?????!!!! j/k

Mine has suddenly restarted simply playing Angry Birds. I just came from a TP2 running WinMo 6.5 meaning the restart is so much faster that I'm not even that annoyed. But I've only had this device less than a week so I'm sure if it happens too often, that will change.

So I guess I do not kno how svoice works but it doesn't seem to be working for me anymore....
I tried "what's the weather like for today" it correctly shows the question, however takes a long time to process and comes back to say " no weather results, sorry"
Anyone else experiencing issues with svoice...I already tried deleting its data and restarting app no luck. it can do web searches but no weather at all

Must be something server related for s voice.

Well at least sounds like I'm def not alone... I will stop resetting things on my end.... wondering what's happened too...
Svoice is terrible nonetheless, It delays the home button (disable svoice and see the difference) it laggs way behind siri and has very limited capabilities. It would be adequate if you can use it when the phone is locked and can be used via headset. The major delay on the home button is a deal breaker itself to me
Down? Hasn't it always been "down"? Hahaha.

The first time I tried to get the weather from svoice was about a week ago with no problem. So I assume this is a network problem most likely that will be fixed on their end.

By resetting it, do you mean you went back to unrooted? Or just a stock rom?
By the way I'm running Bean's Custom Stock Rom on VZW and it's not working. I'm guessing it's just a server issue with the activation of so many new GS3's
In advance of the Olympics, Sammy has been doing all sorts of network maintance.
Yesterday all the TV services were down.
Is this only affecting Verizon devices?
Could it be related to the updates surrounding the Siri debacle?
I highly doubt it's from the number of activations.

In my opinion, S Voice isn't terrible but it is behind Siri.
To have the home button respond faster just uncheck the 'launch S Voice by double clicking the home key' in the settings. You can also use S Voice when the phone is locked. Setup Wake up commands and you're set.

Resetting meaning factory stock.mine is not rooted. Hope it's temporary.
servers either on maintenance or simply too flooded by too many users trying to use s voice at the same time. mines been intermittent since yesterday

Ok, so my mom has a Photon and the volume (ringtones and notifications mostly) wont work when shes had it on silent for more then 30 minutes. Ive tried everything I can think of to fix the issue and nothing has changed. Oh yea and she is on her 3rd one and they have all had the same problem. If anyone has any thoughts Id love t hear them!
Thanks.

Yes its on the stock rom. She wont let me root it because shes affraid it something will go wrong.
Does the sound come back once you've rebooted the phone? I mean, taking it out of silent should be enough to unsilence it

You would think that unsilencing it would be enough but for whatever reason in this case its not but yes the phone has to be rebooted every time in order or the volume to work again but sometimes that doesnt even work.
Odd... the only thing I can think of would be to restore it back to a stock SBF, but that might not do much since you've had the issue with 4 other phones. You shouldn't hurt it though

Yeah I agree. I would factory reset, not install any apps, test and see if the problem appears.
I woke up today to find all my contacts missing. Facebook and Google say that sync is down but should return shortly, but it said the samething lastnight. I was wondering if it was just me? I'm unrooted and just been enjoying the stock experience. Any help would be welcomed, and goodmorning to whomever reads this

IDK what it is, but I have done a reset or two as this was the only way to fix the syncing problem, but it always comes back for me and the only thing I can think of is it's related to the damn 2.06 update because my other devices have no problem syncing.
