I came from a Sprint Note 2 to a Sprint Note 3. I liked S Voice on 4.1.2 in combination with Driving Mode, but I don't like the long waits for it on the 4.3 version. Instead of just saying "What would you like to do?" it says something like "I hope you are having a wonderful day" blah blah blah. It takes forever to make a simple phone call from my Bluetooth headset.
Has anyone figured out how to get rid of all the extra stuff or even better, how to overwrite this version with the old one from 4.1.2?

I was originally thinking of leaving AT&T for Verizon to get the upcoming Droid X but not so sure I want to lose the grandfathered unlimited data plan I have and I also got to admit I like the voice/data simultaneous ability of AT&T's 3G network. With that being said, how bad am I going to miss push email, led/custom notifications? How easy is it to root aria and load whatever I want onto it?
Just picked up the Aria today coming from the 9700. Not going to lie, I already miss push email/notifications but not enough to make me think this is a bad decision. This phone truely is pretty awesome. The Android OS is wayyyy better than the OS 5 on the 9700. I haven't tried rooting yet. I fugure I'll wait until the new phone factor wears off.
Bottom line: I'd make the switch again.
Hello everyone;
Sorry am NEW to this forum and WOW what a find.
I am a very mature GSM USER ( yes kinda says my age but been using GSM phone since SUITE-CAASE SIZE MODELS OF MOTOROLLA !!!) ... so have pulled apart few of those GSM codes in my life time
So to the topic on this thread - Blackberry VS Andriod > not that I want to be against any CUSTOM / PROPRIETARY code etc.... but I like the idea of OPEN and USER BASED code developments for GENERAL USE
Andoid has few 'pains" in my view ,,,, just not sure how to fix these:
1) looong leadtime to 'call connect' from dial/send buttons ( yes there is a carriewr componant etc ,,, but keeping APPLES 3 APPLES ,,, android is lots slower
2) Blacberry gives the added "custom Encrypt" for all comms ( havent come across these in adnriod YET!)
3) Lots of "brands" to choose - so often confusing marketing blah blah ,,, often confuses people/users of some features and functions in Andriod where is BLACBERY does do a great job of educating funtions features etc on their OS
in summary , ATT will CARY OVER your data & voice Plans , dont matter what phone you go to ... so in short you can choose any phone aslong as its GSM
hpe this helps < sorry for extra bits aboce pls ingore>
cheers
Have you tried Googling "push email android apps"?
Not sure how outdated this info is but for push email: http://m.androidcentral.com/using-gmail-your-own-personal-push-mail-server

This is the solution I am using... my home isp is in the stone age still and will not push pop mail to Google, so there is some slight delay as Google polls my pop account roughly every 15 min, but as soon as it shows up in gmail it gets pushed to the phone. The only other downside is that you are stuck using the gmail client.

Okay, now I'm just plain confused. I have the same missing call issues everyone else is having, either missing the call completely, or getting a missed call notice without the actual call. One time I even got the missed call notice like half an hour after the call.
Anyway, I'm used to all that. But just recently, it's doing something different. I received a call, and knew it once I saw the voicemail show up in my Google Voice inbox. I checked my phone when I saw that, and it was ringing. Apparently my volume was down and I didn't catch it, but I'd assume it had been ringing for a while. But there was nothing about any incoming or missed call. Nothing about calls at all. Aside from the fact that it was ringing, it was completely normal. The ringing didn't stop until I made an outgoing call of my own.
So apparently it got something about the call. At first, I'd assumed it was just a Google Voice notification, but I don't have Voice installed on my phone. So something's making my phone...phantom ring when I get a call, but not telling me about the call in any way.
I'm running MIUI with the Glitch kernel, but this has only been the last two or three calls I missed that did this. Even with the same ROM and kernel, it was fine before.
Anyone have any experience with this? I'm not even sure how to explain it. But if my phone's gonna recognize when someone's calling, it'd be much nicer if I was given an option to answer it.
Hm... I've had the phantom ring and I've had the missed calls, but never at the same time.
Phantom ring is a problem with the cm7/miui ROMS and missed calls is a problem with the handset. So, technically, if you were impatient, you could call Verizon tech support and get a new phone because of the missed call issue and be done with it entirely. Otherwise, you can wait to see if Verizon releases a new OTA to fix the call issue (Check out the ED05 stuff... that's a newly leaked upgrade, but idk what it does), which (hopefully) will fix the phantom ringer as well by allowing the phone to pick up the call correctly.

I'd have just chalked it up to coincidence, but to do it twice in a row like that, it just seems unlikely. I've heard of some phantom ring issue before, but like you said, never when a call should be coming through.
I wouldn't be against having it replaced, but that's not really an option for me. For one, I bought it from someone on Craigslist rather than Verizon, so I'd assume they wouldn't like that. And even putting that aside, I'm not even technically a Verizon customer. I'm with PagePlus. So I figure I'll have to make the best I can of this, or buy another on my own. And really, aside from the missed call issue, I've been loving the Fascinate, so I'd rather not give it up.
It was doing so well for a while, until I flashed MIUI. I don't regret that, though. MIUI is great.
Yeah, I get what you're saying... In which case, wait for the new fix that Samsung is *supposedly* working on to come out and one of the devs to patch it into cm7/miui or a new radio. If anyone else knows of any legit fixes as of now, I'd like to know as well.
In the meantime, it looks to everyone like you're selectively screening your calls - it makes you more mysterious

I really wish I could trust Samsung's word on that.
...I really wish. Unfortunately, Samsung doesn't have the most sparkling record when it comes to fixing software issues. Of course, assuming they're footing the bill for these replacements, I'd imagine they probably would want to get it worked out as soon as they can.
There's some new radio in the dev forum, but I'm unsure about that. Nothing's really specified as to whether it's a leaked radio or what. I'd rather not risk flashing it until I know that it's not gonna kill my signal completely or anything.
Well, I've got a bit more info on this. ...Unfortunately, it makes no more sense at all. It would appear that my phone has decided that it won't receive calls with the screen off at all.
If the screen's on, call comes through as normal. If it's off, it simply does nothing at all. The screen doesn't come on, it doesn't ring, nothing. Then once I do turn the screen on, it does the phantom ringing until I do something to stop it. Even if the screen's turned back off. It's also worth mentioning that the ring isn't even my own ringtone. It's the default...ring ringtone.
If I turn the screen on while the call is coming through, it turns on like it's waiting for me to answer the call. As soon as I hit the button, it's showing me the phone screen and starts ringing with my normal ring.
It's worth nothing that it also does this immediately after being locked. So I don't think it's a sleep mode issue. It shouldn't have time to go into sleep mode. Of the issues I've had with missed calls before, I usually need to leave my phone untouched for a while. Not the case here.
It wasn't doing this before, though. And I didn't change anything that should cause it.
...Or maybe I did. Seems turning off the stay awake option in settings worked it out. Hopefully, anyway. Won't know for sure until it...well, doesn't miss calls.
Hi all.
First off a great site here. I am new to android (well not strictly true I did have the Desire when it very first came out and I hated it sold it after a week) Any way I am now converted to Android from Iphone. So I am a complete and utter noob
I have got the the S2 and what a phone, never miss a phone call or antenna problems on this puppy.
So my problem is when I get a text msg it only reads out the number of the person and does not read the actual txt. When I get phone calls it tells me who is ringing. This is a problem for me as I want this for when I am driving. Please help.
I have not rooted my phone yet as I said I am a complete noob. Does not look as easy as jailbreak.
Thank you very much. Look forward to your response and no doubt I'll get told off for reposting but I have looked now for 3 days
This phone can do this? I would like to know how to set this up.. I would love for the phone to tell me who is calling...please tell me how to do this...I am new to the Droid as well...came from BB...

Double press/tap HOME key to bring ON Voice Talk.
Turn ON Driving Mode.
Hit the MENU button --> Settings -->Scroll down --> Voice Talk Settings --> "TICK" Show body of message.
I suppose that should solve your problem
(It sometimes takes a while to read out the message depending on your connection..so plz be a lil patient Cheers)
Not really the same thing. There should be a way in android to have it announce who is calling or just texted you without leaving in driving mode constantly. Symbian used to have this,but I don't believe Android does.

I just use Tasker for this, though some would balk at spending on an app worth 5 dollars for a phone worth a hundred times that =)
Hello all. I hate to ask the question because I am pretty positive I know the answer, but I figured if anyone would know how to figure it out it would be someone from XDA.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900A), through AT&T; everything is stock, running version 4.3. Un-rooted.
I've had an individual harassing me, leaving voice-mails threatening to sue me for "Unfinished Work/Did Wrong" when it was his lack of knowledge that ruined it after I had fixed it. Between these voice-mails was one that he said everything was perfectly fine and that the problem had nothing to do with what I did and that he apologized; yet he is now still threatening me claiming it was my fault. This voice-mail of him saying everything was fine was my only proof that I had in fact, done the work correctly.
Being a customer of AT&T, it requires you to go through all of your voice-mails every 2 weeks and save all your messages that you don't want deleted - with no warning of when they're actually going to get deleted. I unfortunately missed the 2 week period by TWO days.
My question to you, XDA, is there anyway that I can get these messages back? Through Synced accounts (Samsung, Google (I did not have Google Voice set up at the time)). Do the voice-mails save locally anywhere - even if I root can I reach them anywhere?
I do not have any type of other voice-mail (Visual Voice Mail-like App). And I've sat on the phone for hours with AT&T while they gave me the run-around.
With the s2, s3, and s4, we had to root and even then, it was hard to find an app that would do call recording properly.
I finally found one that worked with the s4 rooted after several others failed to live up to their promise-Total Recall. The s4 was by far, the hardest phone to get an app to do phone call recording.
With the s5 now, it seems they have worked their magic again, even better and this app now allows you to record phone calls without rooting or fussing with any settings.
It was definitely worth the money I paid and they don't ditch you and make you pay for a new version with different phones either like some shady developers do.
I've also been in constant contact with the developers and they respond and fix issues right away. Usually within hours.
