Hi Guys,
Somehow I seem to have turned on a feature which reads out the number of the person sending me a text message. This happens when my phone is on silent too. Which is begining to annoy me, especially when I am at work. Have had a look through settings for SMS but can't see the option to turn it on or disable it. Does anyone know how I can switch it off?
Thanks.

I have not seen any Settings like this in my Mobile for now.If you are sure you changed some settings and than it started reading out numbers use factory default settings it might Help but before doing that wait for some time some other members might know how to stop it.If you have not Received any answer about this than use factory default settings.
The thing is I don't remember changing any settings for this at all. It's not something I wanted to have switched on. I'm reluctant to do a factory reset as I have my phone setup just perfectly at the moment.
Hit the home button twice to get the voice launcher up, turn off "driving mode"
Job done.
Thanks for that. Although I managed to resolve it another way. Went into Settings - voice input and output and de-selected Driving mode.
Your way is a lot quicker though. One for the books.
No worries, took me 48 hours to figure it out for myself the first time.
I am on totally stock JB. Haptic feedback is all but gone on my device. When restarting the phone it will not save last volume/vibrate settings. Always defaults to ring only. Tried numerous volume locker apps with no luck. On reboot my folders are all black and blank for about 30 seconds. On Google now I can’t remove sport team cards. After selecting undesired card and selecting to remove it, it will disappear only to pop back up on restart. My last and most problematic issue is my texting issues(have had issue before JB update). My texts come out of order or are hugely slow/delayed. Sometimes I won't get texts until I text the person and then a bunch of old texts will come through (with hours late time stamps). I also tend to get the same text numerous times. Is this a phone issue, sprint network issue, sense or android issue? I'm guessing it's a sprint network issue. Any tips or tricks on how to fix any of these issues would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

haptic feedback low is by design. no idea about the vol/vib settings. folders could just be loading slower than on ICS. no idea about GNow. text issue are sprint. possible fix for text: from dialer...*#*#2432546#*#* hope this helps
Hard reset could fix it. But might be your last resort.

This seems an overly obvious question. Does the watch have vibrate? I just got it two days ago, but no setting of vibrate anywhere seems to make it shake. I would think I'd have run across someone else saying something if it lacked the ability...
So, kinda wondering if mine is broken or if I totally missed that it isn't there.
Thanks

Mine vibrated yesterday and now it wont vibrate. If you scroll down from the top on your home screen, click the icon in the top right corner, that should bring up your wifi, airplane mode, gps, battery, etc icons. If you scroll down to audio profiles, there is one called meeting that has a picture of a phone vibrating. That should make calls and messages vibrate your phone. You can also manually turn them on because if you go to settings/device/audio profile/settings for general where you can select vibrate plus ring, and if you scroll down there is an option for vibrate on touch. Even though I have both these settings checked, and they used to work, they are no longer working. I tried a factory reset, and that didn't fix it. Now, when I power on my watch, I get a message that says headphones disconnected. It seemed to stop working after I started getting this message, not sure if that is normal or if it has anything to do with it. I will let you know if I figure out a way to get mine vibrating again, but for now it looks like mine could be broken. Can anyone else chime in on this if this has happened to you?

It does vibrate. But very few things use that function it seems. I was thinking about setting up a tasker script to vibrate on any notification.

Anyone have any ideas on how to get mine vibrating again? I've done the backup and restore option, is that how you do a proper factory reset, or is there another way I can try to get this thing to start working again?
update: Just flashed 1900_20140120 firmware using the excellent guide on here, and still no vibrate

Mine started working. Not sure why; I tried to reset to factory and despite following the directions and watching Loki's video, i managed to lock the watch up. Popped the battery, put it back together, wiped the device. Now it vibrates and that is good. Just wish i knew what I had did that fixed it.
Thanks all!

Mine does not vibrate either, never did.
I tried with the stock firmware, Loki's firmware, stock with enhanced security... no luck...
Thoughts?

Mine started vibrating again. I went to take the battery out, but couldn't get the screws off, so I gave up, when I rebooted, all the sudden vibrate worked again. Not sure if it was powering it on and off a few times, or shaking it around, try taking the battery out and putting it back in if you can, if not, just try turning it off and then on and maybe lightly shaking it around
Well,
It looks like a bad electrical contact, I've downloaded an app called "vibrater" that does just what it says, and it won't start the vibrator until I lightly tap the watch on it's side while the app is turning the vibrator on.
But it does not stick. I guess I will have to return the watch to have it fixed...
Until tonight, I thought the TrueSmart just didn't have a vibrator...
Vibration doesnt work
Hey, just received my Omate Trusmart! (Kickstarter edition)
Overall I am extremely happy with the watch, but there are a couple of major problems:
1. The vibration doesn't work, I have tried rebooting, factory restore etc but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know a fix to this or is it a hardware problem?
2. My screen has very faint dark spots in the center. Looks like a manufacturing defect.
Is it possible to return the watch to get a replacement? I havent opened the back cover yet.
Thanks.
Hi guys and gals. I'm new here but I have reading your posts and really enjoy the info. I,just bought the gear s. Upon going through the settings I tapped the accessibility bar. There's an option for reading alerts aloud. I hit that by accident. Now the phone will not scroll on the app menu. It goes halfway and stops. It's like frozen. So in order for me to do a reset I need to get to the bottom of the app screen but it will not scroll. So I did a rebooting reset with the power button and returned it to factory but as soon as I choose the reading option it still does the same thing. Has anyone encountered this. I love the watch but even though I may not use that accessibility feature I am afraid that I may encounter other issues down the road. Thanks in advance for any insight.
I would try, but I don't want to reset my device. Sorry
No problem I appreciate the response. I picked up a new one from verizon. I went to best buy and the display gear s did the same thing. So maybe it just needs a update.
I've noticed over the past 2 weeks or so that all of a sudden the phone sometimes doesn't bother with the lock screen. I'll double tap to wake and it'll go right to the home screen (or to whatever app I was in last). This happens with or without notifications. I thought it was something caused by Evolve because it seemed to stop once I cleared data/froze it with Titanium but it's started back up again.
Running Android M, rooted, with Xposed. However, I have not installed any new modules or done any system updates during this time. All of the phone settings look correct, and are unchanged, and there isn't a setting for 'skip the lockscreen like 30% of the time' anyway.
Anyone have any ideas? Could it be an app causing this? I believe those are the only things that have been updated.
Something like Greenify?
Any ideas on where to start troubleshooting would help. Thanks.
Still fighting with this. Anyone else? Removed everything I could find that wasn't being used. Wiped data for lockscreen settings. Wiped cache/dalvik. At a loss here. It's really annoying!
Only thing I can think of is that Power Key Instantly Locks is turned off.

it's on, and lock timer is set to immediately.
doesn't seem to have any relation to time. sometimes I'll pick the phone up after an hour and it'll go right in without the lock screen.

Sorry, I don't have any other ideas. Maybe someone else can be better help.
Still driving me nuts. I thought I had solved it by turning off 'battery optimizations' for anything always-on/lock screen related but that wasn't the answer. Reflashed the rom, still having the issue. Might need to reflash with a full wipe I guess.
I'd rather just move to Nougat but I can't get xposed to work properly. Life is hard haha.
in case anyone finds this thread when dealing with the same issue: Android Wear was the culprit. wakelock detector pointed me in that direction and once i uninstalled it, the problem stopped immediately and has not returned.
