Talking text notification - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Ok, first of all I know this is going to sound dumb. The other day when I'd get a text message my phone would tell me with a voice that I've received a message and who it was from. Now it's not doing it. It just started doing it then stopped after a few days Did I turn off a setting or something? I'm stock rooted with Google now and wallet. Any ideas?

That's either driving mode or you messed with the accessibility settings. It's more than likely that you activated Driving Mode which is the notification bar and is very easy to tap accidently.

Yup, probably driving mode (although I don't know what driving mode is supposed to do other than announce texts/calls)

yep, that was it. Thanks
I'd also like to know why they have put in a separate switch for this.. shouldn't it be incorporated into the dock mode?

Because not everyone has a dock for their phone when driving.

I had this happen to me when i pressed anything while in chrome. I guess it was "Missed It!" interfering or something. Weird.

[Q] Notifications go silent on the Skyrocket

Hi all,
I've been a member for a while, but this is my first post in a while.
I recently changed my Motorola Atrix to a Samsung Skyrocket. I love the phone, however I am having a little problem. The Skyrocket will not make noise or vibrate for notifications (such as text, or email, facebook, twitter, etc) but will play ringtone for phonecalls. When I restart the phone, it will work maybe for a day, but after that, it stops working again. Sometimes after receiving a call the notifications will start working again. I've checked the volume settings, and the notifications and ringtone settings, and everything like that... it's all normal. Any suggestions? I've been searching in the forums, and other sites as well, but dont seem to find anything.
The phone is rooted, but that's about it, stock rom. I also did a master reset on the phone as well.
I was using go sms but deleted it and the notifications still go silent.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks!
Hopefully someone here can help ya. I still have not found a solution
Ome thing I never really thought of was trying an Odin restore back to stock...a full clean slate. If that doesn't fix it then definitely a defective phone

That's what I did this morning. So far it's working perfectly, hopefully it will keep working.
Thanks for the reply!
I installed Go SMS again and seems to be working. What I did notice this time around, is that when I was setting up the notifications for the Facebook app, I noticed the option to choose from the Android System ringtones or from Go SMS. Maybe I had it set up to choose ringtones from Go SMS. Seems to be working fine now.
The notification volume and incoming call volume are seperated. The notification sometimes changes somehow idk how. If you want the incoming and notification to be the same download MySettings. The open the app up and click and hold the ringer icon then itll come up with volume settings. Check the box that says use incoming and notification sound together

The ongoing notification requires root. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1770622
Or you can root to the Synergy Rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792499
The notification deletion is imbedded in the Rom. After flashing it, reboot once and it's gone for good

If you're on Verizon, it's impossible to miss. It's in your notification bar when you drag it down each time and reads "Wi-Fi off: turn on Wi-Fi"

Oddly enough, some report that they have neither the ongoing notification nor the annoying pop-up when wifi is off on a fully stock device. The vast majority have it but I've seen a couple saying they don't have either.

PROBLEM SOLVED!! (kinda.)
you can pull down the notification bar and long-press the "Tap to turn wifi on" ongoing notification and then click app info. from this point, the process will come up titled 'Android System'. (this is not what runs your phone, its just titled this) if you force stop this process, the notification will go away until the next time you boot up your phone! -i know its not permanent but it sure beats the hell out of it always being up there!!
THE MAIN BENEFIT OF THIS FOR ME (AND FOR ANY OTHERS WITH 4.1) WHEN YOU GET A MESSAGE OR EMAIL, IF ITS THE TOP NOTIFICATION IN THE LIST, IT SHOWS ADDITIONAL DETAILS. CHECK IT OUT IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

How to stop notification sound when receiving a text

Hello,
My phone is on a montioring system that sends me a text when a system is having a problem. I need the alarm to be long and loud so I am positive to hear it even if sleeping. My problem is when I get one I want it to automatically stop making noise if I pick up my phone, sweep the screen saver or anything that indicates I'm going to look at the message.
How do I stop the text notification noise if I'm actually looking at my phone?
Thanks

Thanks -no app - just native text messaging notification. I changed the default sound for text messages to a long loud notifications so I respond to emergency texts. I just want to be able to quickly shut them off when I get them.

Well after messing with the native messaging app I've come to the conclusion that its not that great
I'm running Verizon messaging when you hit the popup it kills the notification sound
It tried the kill service app but you cant kill what you can't see running

I don't know if this works for text messages but have you tried the 'turn over to mute' in motion settings? it works great for incoming phone calls.

SGS5 SPR Driving Mode Missing?

Went on a trip the other day and was disappointed to see that the Sprint Variant of the SGS5 did not have a Driving Mode or Car Mode that was detectable by S Voice. "This device does not support this feature." is the only response I would receive. My S3 and my mother's S4 both retain this functionality. Just curious if anyone has a way to restore this feature or a good alternative.
Thanks

Not sure if the tile was there before i did tile mod, link here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2732722, after you do this it wile show up in the tiles. Just sq lite to modify.

I think it may have something to do with agreeing to the terms and conditions of S Voice?

So I was able to trigger Car Mode via Tasker but it isn't quite the same. It does not read text messages or anything like that. Anyone have any other suggestions? I'd be willing to use a thrid party app as well. Kinda upsetting to have a new car with BT and not be able to read and respond to texts through it.

Interactive lockscreen notification questions...

I never thought I'd say this, but coming from an iPhone and I feel like Apple actually has the better notification system. Is there a trick with EMUI to get notifications to be able to open from the lockscreen? I don't want to have to go all the way in to the app to reply to a text (stock app) or email (Google inbox). It seems as though you can do nothing with the lockscreen notifications besides look at them. I'm talking the main screen by the way, not the actual notification screen. Please help a returning Android consumer of you can. I'm hoping there's just a setting somewhere I'm missing to get this to work. Thanks!

Maybe this?
Yea I get the notification on the lockscreen, I just can't do anything with it other than double tap to open the respective app. With the iPhone, I can reply to a text or email directly from the lockscreen without ever leaving the lockscreen.
Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
If you install/use Textra instead of the stock text app, I believe you can reply directly from the notification.
Yes that's the route I'm going to have to go. Thanks for the replies...Stock just doesn't do it.

In fact huawei notifications are not actionable. I doubt it'll be same for third party apps too

FYI, I have noticed one strange oddity when replying to texts directly from the lockscreen in Textra, vs. unlocking the phone and replying: when typing in my keyboard (I use Swiftmoji), press & hold on keys doesn't work. For example, to do an exclamation point in this keyboard, you press & hold the period, which brings up the exclamation point, question mark, etc. Press/hold doesn't work. But if I unlock and continue my reply, it works.
Personally, it's not a big deal to me to unlock the phone and reply from the app, except when the phone is sitting on my desk. I'm not really sold on the rear mounted fingerprint sensor. My phone is most often laying near me face up.
