I installed the TTS Samsung HD UK voice. I'm American, but prefer that voice. I installed it but no app seem to use it. S Voice still sounds like a robot. I thought it would just be easier to switch to google for tts, but google doesnt play music on my command. Is it even possible to chamge S Voice's voice? I find google is great for searching, but S Voice controlls the phone. I plan to use Hands Free a lot while driving and really want to change the voice. Any help with this?
Dolphin browser: Do I have to hit OK before I download an image every time? I set dedault download location to SD, and just thought it would automatically download there after I choose Save As. Thoughts?
Odd question: Might sound weird, but I'm pretty sure the phone had a lock screen that I didnt install. It was black with white icons for phone, email etc.I thought it was something in Nova Prime, bit havrnt seen it since. What could this have been, Glitch?

Hi guys, I have google latitude set up on my daughters phone to track her whereabouts. I think she has caught on to me though and I believe she is using the settings reset option on the phone to stop me. Is there an app you can recommend that will prevent her from tampering with settings like these?

There are several tracking apps that can be installed covertly and run in the background with no real evidence they are working once they've been installed.
Google "track your phone android" (without the quotes)
I know Mobile Defense is a good one, but there are many others.. or just check the Android Market.
You can also install apps that "lock" other apps (like Google Maps/Latitude) and require a password to get into.
Basically use Google and search, you'll find what you need.

Hello All,
I searched for any related posts and could not locate any reference to my problem. I would greatly appreciate any input.
One of my favorite features on my old EVO 4G was the voice search for navigation. I could give it very limited information and it found places, products, etc like nobody's business.
I upgraded to the EVO 4G LTE today and it came with Google Voice Search installed. First I could not even locate the app. When searching at Google Play for the app I am made aware that it is already installed. There does not appear to be an update option at this point.
Firstly I would like to find a better way to locate, paste to the home page or launch the app (once I get it to work that is). Secondly and most important when I launch the app through what is discovered on Google Play the microphone page appears but then the app locks up.
I have also tried just the Navigation app and when I speak directions it seems to take the input fine, but the results are seriously random and for the most part quite irrelevant.
I have played with the settings and the maps apps seems to have my location pegged pretty good.
Any thoughts on getting better results or instructions on removing the factory install of Google voice search or updating it?
If it makes a difference all testing has been done on WiFi from my home network.
Thanks for any input you might have.
I havent tested mine at length but my google maps speak destination function works just as well as it did on my Evo. The voice function of the search app works also, but it does take a second to be ready for voice input. As for removing the factory installs of both of those apps, you would need at least root to be able to delete them, and there is a mod for rooted users to flash to the stock rom or ViperROM that will get rid of the bottom menu bar and map the recent apps to home long press and menu to the recent apps softkey, OR it can do the same without getting rid of the menu bar. I think there is also a variant of the mod that also maps voice search to recent apps long press, but don't quote me on that. Either way, for right now it seems the only way to try and solve the problems you have is to either root it, wait it out, or return the phone and see if a new one works better.

Hi, i've searched through tones of google pages and so on and have not come to a solution yet. Currently on the Omega v31. Awesome rom btw however i always hated the "Select input notification" and yes i do know how to get rid of it and all by removing the stock keyboard or freezing it with titanium. My issue at hand is Google voice typing which is awesome and should not be frozen or removed due to Google now or so i have read. the thing is this google voice typing auto checks itself after awhile and i have no clue why. so yes i have Smart keyboard as default and unchecked google voice typing and notification goes away till after using the phone for awhile google voice typing then enables itself again. So irritating .. can anyone share some light on this.
Same here, Google Voice Typing automatically checked.
DEAR GOOGLE, VERY STUPID FUNCTION.
Moving to Android for 3 weeks and this platform has TONS TONS TONS of BUGS.
I am also having the same issue but instead with my LG Optimus G. I have everything set up like the OP has by only having one input method set up. No matter what the Google Voice typing will check itself back on. It would be very helpful if someone has a method to keep it permanently unchecked or removed without removing google now as I as that feature, Thanks.
As just a bit of insight I am currently running Vanilla Rootbox(current version) + Houcha Kernel(2013-05-18-16-02-geeb-fs) with no issues major issues to speak of.
Yesterday (mostly because I was at the beach and bored) I installed tunein pro and decided I would play music through the aux input of my car stereo.
While using it I noticed that Google Voice Search kept popping up every 20-30 seconds while the phone was laying there on my car seat, i have since uninstalled tunein pro but the issue still happens.
I have tried several times un-selecting that option from the keyboard as well as checking the settings for Google Voice Search to no avail.
So, I guess my question is:
Is there a way to PERMANENTLY disable the Google voice search option?
*additional but not so important: is there a known way to remove the stuck widget for Google search from the top of the screen? I'd rather have the extra screen space.... If i need to use Google search for any reason it wouldn't kill me to open any of my four web browsers.
disregard the "two things" in the topic name...I've decided to bring up the second issue in the Houcha Kernel Thread

Hi All!
I don't know why I am posting here and not in the review section of Play Store. Maybe I just need to vent out that's all.
As much as I was happy after seeing the MASSIVE improvements in new Play Music by Google (v5) ... I was immensely disappointed that the app lacks some extremely basic featured. One of them, not being able to DELETE any song or album store on device.
If its helpful, I am from Pakistan so Play Music's Other services don't work for me anyway.
The previous version of Play Music (v4.5) DID have this basic functionality which is why I am curious why its not there in newer version.
I was just thinking, of there is a way to MOD the app, just so we can get the Delete functionality back.
Thoughts?
in the settings you can clear the cache of music the app has downloaded. If you've pinned music to the device and want it deleted, unpin it then clear the cache. Sometimes you might need to clear the apps cache too... I think they purposely do not give delete functionality in relation to music that you manually loaded to your sd card, but I don't know why.
It's convoluted, doesn't work well but it's in there somewhere. I agree they need to add better basic features.
^ Thanks for the reply
My problem is specifically for music stored on the device. And just like you said, I sincerely believe that a delete option IS in there and they have purposely left it hidden. (Its not the first time they did that because it was also not there in v4 when it was newly launched. But they did add it later on.
So I can only hope they do the same this time too.
OR, we can have an expert here who understands how to read the app (a developer), tear it down and see if a Delete option really can be enabled.
I am tired of this from google play. Like you said, they did this before. There are to many options out there. Dont let them get away with it. Vote with the uninstall.
^ I already have uninstalled it. I don't want an app which doesn't provide me with the most basic feature and continue to provide awesomustastic GUI.
However would still like to know if there Is a way to mod the app to have a delete button.
UPDATE:
Finally, the latest update puts in the delete tracks option.
Thanks Google! for listening.
