thanks

Yes, S-Voice is set up at the processor level to allow it
If you disable S-Voice (Like I do), then no you can't

Well, Google voice is a service for voicemail, texts and SIP calls. You mean Google Now. And no, you can only use it when the screen is on.

Yes, I know. But the only way it works with the screen off is if you leave S-Voice intact. You can verify this, just do a search

Tried to insert a url - but after about 20 attempts it still didn't work. ....how cr$p is that
The url contains details saying that it is possible to use google now with screen off

Check the note 4 forums I've posted in similar discussions there

I just tried it to, and didn't work with the screen off. That's okay, I am glad I could at least turn it on to work from anywhere when the screen is on.

Request for s4 svoice

I know that it was originally released for the s3 awhile back when it was leaked. But that no longer works is anyone working on getting the svoice off and working on the s3 by any chance?
From what I understand, Samsung has found out about the leak and shutdown the servers. If you install it, you will just get network error. We are hoping that once most carriers start to officialy release the S4 that it will start working again.Until then, I dont think there is really anything else that can be done to get it working.
I'm using the s4 svoice just fine no errors.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Been using it for weeks with no errors. Don't think they could shut that down, otherwise people who have the s4 already couldn't use it either...

Been using it as well with no issues

it is NOT a zip file you flash. just unpack it, put it in a folder on your sd card and run the apk like any other program. it is how i install it on my phone running beans v15.

No offense, but considering S voice is a laggy resource hogging mess, why want it? Must folks seem to turn it off as soon as they find out how

All personal preference i suspect. You may hate it and others may love it. Neither position is right or wrong.
Good point!
Could it be possible that those who thought the S4 S-Voice wasn't working had it confused with the new S4 S-Translate? I know there were issues with that one connecting when it was pulled from the system dump.
In any case, I've been using the new S-Voice for a while now... The driving mode is pretty cool, and I still like the "humerous" responses it gives (personality if you will). The voice has got to be changed though, it's murder on the ears.

it seems to work just fine for me but i admittedly don't use it very much. once in a while. but it does go in to driving mode and responds to commands. for me anyway.

my bad...cleared cache and a reboot fixed it....
still prefer google search though...manged to find instructions on how to switch the double tap button to launch google voice search instead of S voice...
now, if i can only figure out how to set google as the default for when Bluetooth is used...s voice still dominates that..but switching the speech recognizer to googles instead of Samsung helped S voice perform better.

new google maps

How does an itinerary look on your note with the new gmap?
For me half of the screen on the left is covered by the list of directions, leaving only the half right visible.
Is it normal? Totally useless...

I just tried it. And I thought it was going to be great until I tried to exit out of the box on the left so as to see the map. when you hit the X you can no longer see the map WTF.

If you could just close the itinerary it would be fine. But as it is it sucks.

well it seems it's a general complain...
- the directions take half of the space
- no way to use intermediate stops
- no more my maps
- if someone creates an itinerary with intermediate steps in OLD version of web gmap and you try to open it on the tablet, the intermediary steps are ignored
- if someone creates an itinerary with intermediate steps in NEW version of web gmap and you try to open it on the tablet, it open the browser and not the map

Doesn't seem to do anything on my G2. GUI etc works I suppose, but doesn't do anything to TV, DirecTV etc.
If I hold the IR sensor before a camera I can see that there is something sending.. I will have a look on it today again.
I've fixed the problem! It's now working.

How does this fare on Aosp roms?
You need to test it. You defenitly need to install a Quickremote SDK but anyway. For me it wasn't working because the SDK I used wasn't able to send raw IR pattern..
You need to test it and if it doesn't work search for a SDK that support it. (I didn't find one so I'm back on stock) [emoji53]
Is there an updated link for the fixed apk? Would like to try this out
It's the same link like before

Yep, I did a quick test on my DirecTV box and it toggled power. Now to figure out how to actually use it.. I guess you draw your own layouts, plugging in available buttons. I haven't looked beyond the raw database yet.

I guess I must be stupid but I cant figure out how to do anything except send a code from the list. Can't make a layout, and not quite sure how the HTML thing works.

Emui App Lock and Facebook Messenger

Hi, i can't see Facebook Messenger in the App Lock list and I don't know why :crying:
I'd like to have Messenger locked with fingerprint, can you help me?
P.s. sorry for my bad english
Hi Panther, I have the same issue have you found a solution ?
I use Tasker + AutoTools for this, it's much faster than Huawei's native app lock.
Basically you create a full screen message that blocks the app as soon as it's launched, and the only way to get rid of the message and continue to the app is by fingerprint.
Any update!

Context is App Launch, here's the task settings.
Some may not apply to you, for example if I'm in my car I disable the app lock.
This looks like a better option than the native one.
It is indeed better.

Hi Panther I found the solution download keepsafe applock just Google for keepsafe applock apk mirror then download it.
my device has the same problem, but I can't fix it. because huawei built-in apps locker has no apps add an option, only we can lock available apps. that is a big disadvantage .. someone knows a solution for this problem please reply it below.:good:

Thanks Telperion,
:victory:That should work!
Hello guys. the solution is too simple
i tested it on my P 10 lite and it works fine
here is the steps :
1. download and install [App Cloner] google search for download
2. open App Cloner , in tab Apps serach for Messenger that you have in your phone and clic on it
3. in case name change messenger to any thing you want for me i put "F. Messenger"
4. clic on the Nike arrow to begin Clonning proccess.
5. once messenger is clonned a window will appear just clic on install F.messenger.
6. go to your native app lock and search for F. Messenger and select to protect it.
7. Don't forget to uninstall the original messenger, you don't need it now.
That's all.
Please excuse my english

Android Messages - No preferred sim selected

I got the new HTC U11+ today.
After installing Android Messages app, I get a notification "No preferred sim selected". Anyone know where I define this in settings?
I found the same question over in the U11 forum but no answer. I will pass along the answer if someone can answer.
I will Google again and if I solve, well ask moderator to close this thread in lieu of the U11 thread.
I got this too, compares to stock messenger, Android Messenger could "Mark read" from notification but stock messenger doesn't, which is a pity.
I tried to get rid of "No preferred sim selected" but nothing worked.
+1 for me. It's definitively kind of strange, first phone I've ever had that doesn't let me replace the stock messenger.
Yes same here. I've started using textra. Pretty good

Thanks for the responses. If the app is built to recognize 2 sim slots, why not a setting in the app to define which one? #wtfgoogle
I downloaded Textra as well. Very good replacement.

i had suffer this situation too,is there any way to solve the problem.thanks all of you.
I think I managed to fix it by manually setting it through adb using
Code:
adb shell settings put global multi_sim_sms 1
also is the "SIM cards" menu missing for everyone else I can open it using nova launcher but its like half broken. The entry to change the preferred sim is there but clicking on it does nothing.
Android Messages seems a bit slow to me, like clicking on a thread, there is a small delay and I can see that the app registers my input half a second after I tap on a thread.
