Extremely annoyed when someone calls. - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When someone calls i always unlock to answer and instead of hearing the person talk, i hear "call from blah blah press 1 to answer press 2 to blah blah"... does anyone know how to turn this off its extremely annoying. Why would android even have this.

It's not Android, it's Google Voice.
Go to the Google Voice website on your computer. There is a setting for it.

Yeah. You need to have a functioning brain to understand all that is Android ... apple fan boy LOL

I agree totally with you. Another reason why I went back to stock messaging over gosms. What good are all of the emoticons if your sending it to someone who can't even see them.

[Q] Annoying app

Sometimes teachers take phones and send them to the office until the end of the day. If this ever happens to me, I am wondering if there is an app which I can turn on to make loud annoying sounds at a programmed time and they cannot be turned off (unless the battery is pulled).
Thanks in advance !
Maybe you shouldn't pull out your phone while in class that way you avoid having your phone being taken away.

You could use one of the lost/stolen phone apps. But seriously learn something.

If it were in my office and started making a noise, i would 'accidentally' drop it out of the window.
Something to consider.
I like the idea tho

That's a pretty good idea about using a stolen phone app.
And I am pretty sure a man who has a 95% average in enriched courses can continue to play on his phone when ever he is bored.
Be glad it still works at the end of the day

Priceless. My teachers regularly dropped things into the garbage can from full height when confiscated.
To the original poster, most of the anti-theft software packages can be used via text message to your phone to activate an alarm with a big "I'm stolen" message on the screen, but the office would probably just shut the old fashioned way.
How good your grades are don't matter. How about showing a little respect to your teachers? There is nothing more frustrating than a person who BLATANTLY blows you off when you are trying to teach them something. Pulling out your phone in the middle of class is disrespectful as hell.

Siri on the G2x! (...or the closest we're gonna get)

I was playing around the other day with a buddy's iPhone 4S and found Siri phenomenal. And so I have developed a strong desire to have a similar application on Android. After a quick search on the Market, I came across a ****-ton of siri-clones. They all have their pros and cons, but "iris" seems to be my favorite.

I think you guys should check it out, while it is nowhere near as sophisticated as the real thing, it's pretty fun to play around with.
Also, if anyone finds a better alternative, please share!
Evi's fun too.

siri is the dumbest **** ever... i cant tell you how many people upgraded their ip4 to an ip4s and were all like, omg siri is going to be so awesome... they dicked around with it for 2 weeks and have never used it again...

S VOICE

Can anybody tell me how or if I can get get S VOICE on epic touch? Im on the goodness rom? If not is there something like it?
Right now S Voice only works half the time anyways. It has some serious issues with server support. Check out the market for a few different "virtual assistants".
Nothing works better than Google Voice Search though.

Google Now is likely superior to s-voice in every way, but some features might not be implemented yet (and I haven't actually compared them, so here)
Hmmmm not sure .... I'm going to finish testing google now ..but so far s voice on goodness is running pretty flawless

S Voice completely sucks. gives almsot THE SAME results as Google Voice Search.
its really not even worth using. I would just stick to not using it, but if it really matters just get the iphone :/

Lol I defenitly have no interest in the iPhone ....I'm going to stick with freedom on android .... but like I said s voice does pretty well for the most part and I set many many appointments calendar invites and calls/texts with it today while driving ...so far not the BEST but not to shabby

I didn't find S Voice as bad as everyone says. It's not great, but I owned a 4S for awhile and Siri was really mediocre, especially when needed like in the car and hands free. S Voice didn't need to do much to be comparable, and heck it actually opens apps!
Eva/AVX is the most advanced voice assistant I've tried, especially paired with Tasker, but it's not as user friendly to the beginner.
Ok...Ok
If i want s-voice anymore theres a really nice working port here at xda

Can I somehow send/receieve txts to another VZW SIII # that has been blocked?

One of my friend's and I text a lot (well, we did) until her dad noticed we were texting at late hours and he blocked my number on her phone....so she cannot send texts to me and my texts don't get to her. This was all while she had a "dumb" phone, but recently she got an SIII.
Is there any way to get around this now that she has a smartphone? I'm talking about regular texts and not having to use a special app (i.e. Facebook, Skype, etc.) to send texts back and forth. She is currently unrooted and thus running stock JB obviously.
Would rooting do the trick? A certain rom out there maybe? Or is there some sort of process one can do to "unblock" my number on her phone?

Haha if I had a daughter Im sure I'd be doing the same thing....
But there has gotta be a way/hack/fix around it....
I am assuming that the block is on the account side, meaning she would need the vzw.com account password to unblock. If it was done on the phone itself I would imagine a factory reset would remove the block. Why dont you want to use third party apps like whatsapp? Some apps (can't think of names) can send free texts to legit cell numbers.

A Factory Reset on an unrooted, fully stock S3 will fix it you think? What about her apps? Does Titanium Backup work fully on unrooted, stock phones? I haven't been unrooted in a longggggg time.
Can't you just use an app like tikl or tango just to sent the texts. I know you said no third party apps but they are free and if they work sounds much easier than having her root and find a hack.

I know they are free and I know that we could text that way.....the reason why I want to be able to send regular texts to/from our regular numbers is because I tether constantly, every day, and my phone stays in the window for the strongest LTE connection and I use Airdroid to view and send texts from my phone while on my pc......can't do that with a 3rd party app, I'd have to get up every single time to view/respond to the texts....

We are trying that now with Pinger...her sending me a text from her Pinger # to my regular cell number.....but surprisingly its not working....Is this the method you were talking about?
Do you know of another app that will actually work in this way?
Well we got it to work for the time being via the HeyFree app.
Soo many third party apps will work.
Factory reset, root, custom rom will have no effect.
And what are you guys like 11? Haha got her dad blocking your number, I'm weak.

I second that. It seems best to use Google Talk or Facebook Messenger.... then you guys can be "chatting" but you can just do it from your desktop browser and she can do it on her phone.
OP, I saw you have another thread started trying to help this girl get around something else her father set up regarding the use of her phone. Let me, as the father of a 23 year old daughter, give you a little piece of advice.
He has blocked your number from texts and stopped her data at 10:30pm. He is doing that for a reason and apparently doesn't like you very much either. I understand that you think you are trying to help her, but what you are doing is causing yourself more problems with the dad. I am guessing that neither of you are very old, hence the curfew on the data. You are looking for "hacks" to get around what he has done to, what he thinks is for the betterment of his daughter. You would be better served to work on your relationship with him than to really piss him off by going against him. Just remember, Daddy's little girl is his entire world that he would gladly die for and you are going to get into more trouble that you can imagine or would ever want to be in by messing with her and his wishes.
My advice would be to get onto his good side if you haven't already screwed that up and you may find the "hacks" that you are looking for. Alternatively, you could put another phone on your plan and give it to her for texting. Good luck and remember that some things cannot be undone after you do them........
Seems like Google Voice could be a good solution.... You get a different phone # and you can send/receive texts from any PC at voice.google.com
I would say hhf2 had the best idea and option for you. You may not like it but it is the truth.

That is actual VERY incorrect. While a boy you would consider your little "mini me", a daughter is your princess. The biggest concern is that they are healthy. Sure there are things that a guy wants a son for, but make no mistake about it, there are things that you are just as proud of with a daughter.
