Windows phone like bluetooth assistant app - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know of an app that will notify me of incoming calls and text, tell me who it is and let me respond via voice? Windows phone did this automatically and I miss the feature. I have found apps the will read txt's but not give the option to reply

I think there is a notice alarm that set up already in window phone ?

Its possible but it prompts asking if you want to answer/listen or ignore. Then you can respond or be done. This doesn't sound like an alarm feature to me.

Interference between SMS Pop up and noLED

So I've been running noLED on my Nexus S for a while now and just decided to add the app SMS Popup. The problem is that when my phone is sleeping and I get a text I no longer get the notification icon from noLED only, I also get the message pop up and the buttons on it (reply and close) stay active.
I wish that when my phone was sleeping and I got a text I only got the "notification light" from noLED and once I unlocked the screen I'd see the SMS pop up. Does anyone know of a way to reach that? Maybe another app would behave accordingly? Thanks
Under the miscellaneous setting in noled check the option to delay SMS notifications. Works great for me.
That said the pop-up won't be there when the phone is unlocked. Just for the I initial screen on.

Thanks for the tip but that doesn't really help me achieve what I want.
Maybe I could try another SMS program? (Handcent, etc) Opinions/experiences would be great.
I don't think the app matters. The way I understand it is noled will "dismiss " any popup occupying the screen in order to work.
Let me know if you find something though as its an option I'd love to have myself.

Tried Handcent, Chomp, tried even using Widget Locker and it was a no go.

Looking for two apps

I was wondering if anyone knows of any apps that could do the following?
1-Quiet Hours-Looking for an app that could duplicate what CM's quiet hours does.
2-Also looking for an app that will allow me to create a folder in my app drawer that would contain several applications. I also would be able to link an icon that I would keep on my home screen to open the folder. (desktop visualizer seems to do some of this but not all).
Any help or suggestions are appreciated
For quiet hours I use an app called silent time from the play store. Works a treat

Do you know if that gives you the ability of getting incoming phone calls?
Yes. It simply turns your phone to silent or vibrate and you can set times to turn on and off. You can also set it for different days too.

Beautiful Widgets also has a widget similar to the quiet hours. It allows you to perform a number of actions (including turn off sound) for a set amount of time.

The important thing for me with quiet hours is that I can mute all sound but still get incoming calls

For quiet hours, try AutomateIt and set triggers such as time period to turn off certain volumes.

"Folder Organizer Lite" in the market will set up a short cut on your home screen to a folder that can contain up to 6 apps. Let me know if you need some help.

call reject with s-voice

Just saw a commercial where some girls where using s-voice and an incoming call came in and she said reject and it rejected it.
Can anyone duplicate that ?
I know the Samsung press release says it can do it but my s3 on at&t won't.
Thanks
Did you set up a wake up command to reject calls? I'd try that to see if it works.

its actually just a voice command feature for apps, s-voice doesn't have to be open for this to work. Go to settings -> language and input -> voice cmd for apps -> turn them on. If you open this setting you will also have options on what voice command you want to to work (incoming calls, alarm, camera, and music)
I've found the commands to be flaky as hell. Still haven't gotten the answer/reject to work and I pretty much have to yell at the phone to get the others to work.
I actually like the voice set up. I use it for the camera and I can say things like shoot cheese and smile.

Newbie questions about voicemail

Hello,
I'd like to do 2 things but am not sure what to do to improve voicemails for me.
1. When I slide down to see that I have a voice mail, if I select it it prompts me for a password. I'd like it to auto enter it. I can dial my voicemail and have it put in pauses and auto enter my password but it would be much more convenient if I could make the notification icon do that for me. Had that problem with the nexus but was too lazy to do anything about it.
2. When the phone rings, if I ignore it, I still get the default sound afterwards - probably to tell me I have a voicemail. Not much point in having it do a default notification immediately after ignoring a phone call so if I could turn that off, that would be great. My nexus didn't have that - seemed like I had more options for sounds for specific events but that could be faulty wiring in my brain.
Thanks
I figured out the default sound - it was changing between my messaging sound and the default sound.
I'd still like to figure a way to avoid the password prompt in my voice mail.
Not sure as I have never used the default voicemail on my Galaxy S3. I use voicemail through Google Voice. It is much better (In My Opinion) than regular voicemail.

my god thank you!
this has been bugging the sh*t outta me
Using google voice will be your best bet. These are the options you can choose to have using it.
1. You can access your vm via normal calls/prompts
2. You can have your voicemail transcribed and emailed to you
3. You can have your voicemail transcribed and texted to you
4. YOu can choose to do none of the above and just get a notification you have a voicemail and go directly to the google voice website and play your voicemail automatically via web browser.
None of the above requires a password.

Thanks - I understand I can do it if I create a voicemail contact and call voicemail. My goal is to slide down notifications and click on the voicemail icon.

Not always getting notifications!!

Hey there,
So I don't always message people, but when I do I rarely get notified they replies. This mainly occurs in Hangouts and Facebook Messenger. What happens is I will message someone, close the messaging app, lock the screen and wait for my led notification light to alert me that I have a reply. But every now and then I don't!!! I currently run the Paranoid Android Beat4.
Thanks in Advance

I have also the same problem with all the apps that send notifications....fb,fb messenger,g+ and tapatalk...fb and fb messenger sometimes send notifications...g+ and tapatalk almost never....
When I wake up in the morning I have to manually check my messages and gmail because sometime through the night the notifcations disappear. It could be something crashes during the night, because I know I am reaching onto my desk from my bed to clear the notification but leave it unread.
Same here. I made a post referring to the phone sleeping through notifications. Seems it can happen with any notification but mostly I notice it with Hangouts.
I have a feeling this issue is what many people are actually referring to when they say their notification LED doesn't always work. Except the sound doesn't play either.

Same here. I have to physically open. Hope this gets fixed in 4.4.3 update!
