S voice doesn't always want to talk, and yes Voice Prompt is turned on.
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Same with driving mode text to speech, wont always talk. I've installed the voice synthesis software, what is wrong?
Anyone else having this issue?

Same behavior here.
I call it the Vlingo Disaster. This S-Voice bs was just as buggy on Epic Touch (sgs2 for Sprint). It's just a buggy piece of crapware.

There was a fix for GB roms for Epic Touch - replace the vlingo.apk (or something like that, don't remember exact name) with a google voice dialer app (name the same as the one being replaced). I wonder if it still works...

@nabbed, how would changing the name of an app before install (which would fail on a lot of apps) help, when the app is installed, svoice will not use that just because it was named what the original app file was named, dosnt work that way.

Sorry, I forgot to add a link, please look again, and read that OP in that thread I linked to.... But like I said, just because you change the name of an app, dosnt mean its called upon by svoice. Now if you unistall vlingo it will use what ever you have installed, no matter what the name of the app is....... Now onto why other apps won't work when the name is changed, well the problem there would be the checks made by the installer to see if anything was messed with, verification checks. That's not true on most google apps, but paid apps, well you may have an issue if you change the name. Just giving some clarification is all.

Again, S Voice works, as in it listens to me and searches for what I ask, but about 90 percent of the time she fails to talk back to me.
For example I'll say set alarm, maybe one in 10 times she will respond spoken, the other 9 times she stays quiet. The phone is not on mute, voice prompt is turned on.

Ok so ive someone else post about this before just canteen remember if it was on another forums or not.
Ok so earlier today i was messaging someone and i was trying to get out the message screen but my phone was taking too long or i was just impatient but anyway i kept hitting the home button then i hit the back button and all of a sudden i heard a shutter sound. Sooooo i went into my gallery and there it was a seperate folder just for "screenshots" and mind you i do have the shoot me app and the folder for that is "shoot me". Has anyone else ever experienced this? I thought it was so cool that there is/was a built in screenshot but just wish i knew how to do it again i was so excited!!

I posted this same question in the axura beauty thread. I thought it was a special addition to the axura rom. I found out that its not a rom special but its actually an android feature, only problem I haven't got an actual answer on how to access this feature nor do I know what to look for. I have googled this several times and all I get are results telling me about drocap or shootme and how to use the ddms in order to screenshot without root.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I know for a fact how to do this. I don't think you can force a screenshot with any soft touch keys but you'll notice the screenshot goes off when you're exiting an app/browser and the system freezes up briefly and when you try to hit home on the frozen screen it takes the screenshot. It's happened to me on a few occasions and I distinctly told myself to remember what was happening when the screenshot goes off and turns out it always goes off when my screen is frozen and I hit my home key, while thinking my back button wasn't registered and in fact, was registered and I just got impatient and hit my home button.
I've got a feeling it's a bug log kind of thing. Every post I've seen about it mentions that the phone locked up, and the user pressed buttons rapidly. Sure, we can take Screenshots! You have to have a crashing app to do it though.
This topic has been covered soooo many times not only here on XDA but google.

I had an app on iOS that whenever a call came in, it didn't take up the whole screen. It only showed up on top, similar to the iOS 5 notifications. There are times I don't feel like answering a call when using my phone and I don't want to reject it because then they would know. Is there an app that can stop incoming calls from using the whole screen on android?

The only thing I can think of is a stock feature on CM7. It only gives you a status bar notification that you have an incoming call. I'm not sure if there are apps for that, but I'd imagine not.
I'm trying to stay away from CM7. I'm on UnNamed. How has a dev still not put something like this together?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
It involves modding the framework. CM7 has a modded framework, that's why it has it.
It isn't easy to implement and requires actual coding, not something normal ROM developers can do.

Yes, there is an app on the Google Play store called Small Call. Its does the same thing CallBar does but for Android and it works pretty well. I downloaded it on my S3 and its the app on my phone I use the most.
Small call is OK. I have had issues with it. Also I don't think it has a quick call feature like callbar does
I'm a youth pastor and send texts to around 80 students about events and things we are doing. I send mass texts to them quite often and the most annoying thing I've run into is the SMS hour limit. I can't remember if it's 100 or 160 but either way after I surpass that number within an hour (only two mass texts to my students) I then see a popup warning after every individual text. I then have to manually click yes after each warning or my messages never send. I found this thread but it doesn't seem to work...

Mass texting is not the problem. There is a setting embedded in the Android OS that makes a warning popup after you reach a certain number of texts PER HOUR. It is not carrier specific it is within the Android OS settings. any other ideas?

I am currently running MeanROM ICS 2.4. When I use GPS, the voice navigation continuously repeats "In a quarter mile" over again for every direction. I've tried to clear cache and dalvik, and I've also tried doing ##gpsclrx#.
When I do ##gpsclrx#, I enter in the MSL, and when I press OK, a message pops up that says "commit failed."
I've searched the forum, and the only thing that I've found was to do ##gpsclrx#, which hasn't been working. Has anyone experienced this, or know how to resolve it?
Thanks
Did you try clearing the app data? I don't know much about the ## command you tried but if navigation is stuck on 1 step in the directions, it sounds like it could be the app. If it can accurately locate you, it probably isn't the Gps antenna or settings.

I find the app works, but unless I freeze the stock messaging app in TiB I receive duplicates for each message. So if you freeze it everything works right, but now I have the problem that lightflow keeps repeating and I cant clear the notification sounds unless its from the stock app. I could just disable lightflow, but I work in a loud environment and I kind of need it to keep repeating or else i usually wont hear or even feel it 1st time. That's all i use lightflow for, is the repeating sound and vibration, the LED's are disabled. If anyone knows another app out there that can do the same thing that would be nice.

Or not, since MMS is really shoddy and is completely disabled without paying, not to mention it being really slow if you have many messages.
