Is there any way to enable this option? I've updated to the latest 12070 and although I still can't see it in the ease of use menu
Can't believe something as simple as this is missing, my N97 had it.
I believe your lumia should have it but some carriers have decided to remove the feature:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/basics/use-speech-on-my-phone.aspx
To turn on Speech for accessibility, tap SettingsSettings icon > Ease of access, and then turn on On iconSpeech for phone accessibility. This enables the following:
•
Talking caller ID for phone calls. When you get a call, your phone will announce the name or number of the caller.
To have your phone announce and read incoming text messages, tap Settings > Speech, and then turn on On icon Play audio confirmations. Tap Read aloud incoming text messages, and then choose when you want to hear the announcements—all the time, or only when using a Bluetooth and/or a wired headset.

When your phone announces an incoming text, you can say "Read it" or "Ignore." Then you can dictate and send a reply.
Notes:
Speech may not be available in your country or region.

That's from the MS Page.
So assuming that's the case, if I de-brand the phone the phone I should get the option back?
I was looking for a similar thing. My European 059J3G4 (RM-801 EU NDT EURO1) Lumia 800 doesn't have the option under settings either. And I'm pretty sure this is unbranded.
Speech options are only available in English... Put your phone in English and you should have the options.

It is in english, I've tried flashing to stock nokia firmware and now the menu option has completely dissappeared!
Is it possible to registry edit the phone to reveal the option?
I have discovered that this feature was removed in the European version of the firmware, would it be safe for me to flash a US region version to my European phone or is this risky due to hardware differences?
Does anyone have any further suggestions? Nokia are giving me the run around.

Can anyone please advise on setting my Himalaya as a pager(through SMS)??? Can't seem to find any posts on this specific topic. Thanks in advance for the help
Interesting.. how do you suppose to do that? Disable your ability to receive phone call? But still able to receive SMS?
Hmmm.. interesting.. maybe you can do
(1) Make your ring tone silent (e.g. use a silent WAV as ring tone) but put a loud and long WAV for your SMS.
(2) Use the divert call feature, Setting -> Phone -> Services -> Call forwarding. Check "Forward all incoming phone call to", and put in a fake number. So, when anyone tries to call you, they will be diverted into the fake number. (e.g. for girls whom are getting irritating calls, you can use this method). However, you still have your SMS working.
Another option (not every phone has this, but WM5 seems to have) would be Setting -> Phone -> Services -> Call Barring -> Block Incoming calls.
Better test your thing before really using it (e.g. try SMS it). Haven't try these technique yet.
Anyway, pity that this phone is being used as a pager though. It is like buying a refrigerator use it as a cupboard.
pager
I probably phrased my question poorly. I wanted to be able to receive a page as an SMS message . I meant to do that in addition to the phone/email connections. Didn't mean to suggest to disable the phone at all. Thanks
You'll be needing an app on this page http://sharewareconnection.com/titles/alpha-paging.htm
SNPP protocol is available on the GSM band naturally, but you will need special session/application software for compiling data for use on the protocol.
I doubt you can do that. Firstly, you will need a station/provider to have a paging service, so you will have a page station for people to call to, you also need them (provider) to send you the signal. And, I'm pretty sure that you can't just accept any pager signal easily with a standard consumer devices and some cool software (esp that you still want the phone feature) as there are security features built into the page signal for better data transfer efficiency and privacy.
I think you will be carryign a pager for a while
Hi all !
I just joined xda..cheers to everybody here !
I bought a brand new p500 a few days ago, and coming from very simple nokia phone to android is quite a jump..however no worries or problems, just getting used at it.
However...
I fail to understand how and if voice dial works - some websites state it does, others it doesn't. As a matter of fact, no matter which language I choose, I cannot see how to use it.
My old nokia was very simple: pre-recorded name or nick was pointing to single numbers, and by pushing the BT headset button and saying the name was triggering the call.
Now, with android it seems to be at light years from here.. is anybody able to clarify how to do it ?
Thanks in advance
ps: this is a pretty basic functionality android should have for business users.
My experience with Android phones (myTouch 3G Slide, Samsung Vibrant, now LG Optimus T) is that while advanced in some areas, voice dialing is not one of them.
That said, my Optimus T voice dials OK over Bluetooth. I had to go to the settings under Voice Input and Output and download the Text-to-Speech resources. Then, it will give voice prompts. It works with my Jabra BT8040 just like on my Blackberry. I hold the button on the headset down until I get the second beep. Then wait for the prompt and say "Call So-and-so" It will then respond with "So-and-so mobile one calling."
It hasn't been as accurate as my Blackberry 9700, but it works if I speak clearly. Also, the voice prompts are too low in volume and I havent figured out how to fix that.
i only have google voice search in my optimus one. by pressing and holding searh button.
how can you voice dial?
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong, all appears correctly configured but I see no mic icon in the contacts app in any of the four tabs. Pressing the button on my BT headset does nothing except a short funny sound (with my old Nokia it meant something like "wait for connection"). Holding the same button places a call to the last incoming call number (or last outgoing one).
btw, I'm in Italy - wonder if the reason is language related. I can't be 100% sure, however, because even by setting language to English (U.S.) situation remains the same..
Hope that some android developer is reading this ..
My wife started playing with my note , and I have notice that everytime I get an e-mail or call that my phone tells me " You got 1 new e-mail " or tells me who is calling. Anyone have an idea ?
I am confused as to what you are asking. You dont want to know when someone is calling you or texting you?
You can turn off notifications in the menu settings of the messaging app.
As for phone calls, well you will probably need to download a blocker app to stop phone call notifications.
Sorry for the confusion.
I don't know if she install something but does your Note notify you via voice that you got 1 new e-mail.
Or like when someone calls that this person is calling you or the number ?
It kills me to hear that while I am listing to music.
I think he means that it is talking aloud to him. I had that with some ROM I flashed on my last phone. I had to do into settings> applications > all applications and clear defaults/data on any app that had TTS in the name Example - Pico TTS. TTS stands for text to speech.
idk for sure, but perhaps she turned the Driving Mode on.
goto Settings / Voice Input and Output / Text to Speech settings.
is Driving mode checked green? if so, uncheck it and do a test call, see if it stops the phone from talking to you.
tx --- art.

You are the BESTEST !!!!! LOL. Why she did that , I have no idea. For all I know she is getting kicks and giggles for it. But thanks. That was it !
It sounds like she turned on the Vlingo Voice App with Driving enabled?
I did the same thing when I first got the Note last week.
np Fred, lucky guess lol. i'm glad you asked, now i know what that option means
Hi,
I have a ZTE N986 (Android 4.2.1) phone, it has dual SIM mode (CDMA & GSM) and I use them both.
Everytime I want to make a call using the GSM, there's this popup appears : http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=o7sg93&s=5
With a little research, I find that it appears only if I use local number format in my country (Indonesia, which like "0211234567". Three first digits is Jakarta code by the way.) It doesn't show if I use international format (e.g. +62211234567).
Now it reads "China" in greyed box on top, I think it has to do with locale settings, so I change my language settings to Bahasa Indonesia but it doesn't work. I even done rooting in order to use MoreLocale app but it doesn't work either. And I can't find any settings or any app relating this popup.
Honestly it's not a big deal, I can still make a call by tapping "local call" on the popup, but you know, time I spend to solve this rather than, like change my contacts phone number format makes me even more curious.
Please help me, thanks in advance
Hi,
i've been using this phone for the past month (CN Version, Currently on 21) or so and so far I encountered the following problems:
1. Cannot Change the Default Messaging app.
2. Cannot set google as the default assistant
3. Cannot get VOLTE and Vowifi to work for me (Briefly had Xiaomi and used the code to force it to work).
4. Auto brightness keeps screwing up.
5. Cannot disable the market app
if anyone can help, that would be great.
And alot of missed things:
Missing "Choose date format" option. We are locked on american format, month/day/year.
Missing pocket mode.
Missing DeepTool for Android 11 to unlock bootloader. Speaking with support via mail, the answer is:
"Thank you for writing to us, we would like to inform you that
Bootloader unlock support is not yet available for Android 11, please stay tuned over official community."
Edge lighting is limited to 2 warnings. Need that option to be unlimited, until you see the notification. Like led notification before.
Missing "Vibration pattern" on calls.
Missing option to change sim in dialer if you choose a prefered sim. Prefered, not mandatory. If you want to call somebody with the second sim after you set prefered sim, you need to change that to the second sim to call. Too complicated.
Missing contacts manager option. So, you don't have posibility to import/export contacts, to hide contacts without number, to sort contacts in different ways, to merge contacts with same number, to choose what contacts to display(from phone, from witch google account, from sim, etc).
Missing navigation bar customization. To choose whats is happening if you press home twice, or if you press long on back button etc.
Missing option to return call and same sim you get the call.
For me it's not acceptable to launch a phone without posibility to unlock the phone(bootloader, recovery, root) for power users. Now, for me, realme GT it's a beast in a cage.And tied with chains by realme staff.

Seems far too many issues to be able to love this device.
I don't believe Realme software developers intend to tie anything, it's not logical to hinderi purchasers on purpose.
Realme deveopers are simply inadequate and require more time as many bugs were most probably unknown prior to roll out of the device.
....and by the time this Realme can function perfectly, it'll be time for upgrade due to end of the 3 years security support.
Hey. Bought my phone yesterday on Amazon sold/sent by Amazon (Poco F3 died in water).
I don't know why but my phone was already with developer options unlocked. Is it normal?
Besides that, the phone gives a pretty good feeling except a few bugs of ui here and there (full screen gesture often bring me back stock launcher for example.. Same was for the poco) and that I don't see any custom roms/twrp compared to poco F3.
Also noticed that I can't add French dictionary on top of English (set my phone in English) and on whatsapp I have words with underline when I write in French hum.
edit: returned my phone and sticking with my S10e.
