I just hate it whenever I may need to reply via voice input that it continues to pick up sounds until it's silent. That means when I finish speaking, background noise will prevent it from sending the reply in time (if at all in correct format).
I know I can tap the bottom "squiggly lines or waves" to end further input for S Voice (or whatever voice control for the watch is called), but there doesn't seem to be any such option for text replies. Please help.
Using latest version of Android, Samsung Messages, and Tizen on a S7 Edge and Gear S2 Classic.
I just got an update that is supposed to improve the S-fee feature
Nope, didn't change anything. Unless there's a voice command to make it stop listening...

Haha, that'll have to do. Seems to work, but how effective is it in busy transit?

Hi,
i got a HD2 which i also use in my car without hands-free kit. If there is an incoming call which i would like to answer i have to click to take the call, then slide down and click again to activate the speakers.
This is not very comfortable and there is a more or less time delay betwenn taking the call and actually hearing you opponent.
Is there any possibility to take a call with directly activating the speakers? Something like car-mode or a simple app that allows to take calls with activating the speakers.
Thanks in advance.
Yes, same problem for me.
Ok. Just found this in HTC Offcial Webpage.
"Switch between Speakerphone and earpiece during a call
Tap the Speaker icon on the Call Status screen, press and hold the Send Call button, or simply turn the device facedown"
Don't make phonecalls while your driving without handsfree-kit.
But if you do, read manual, the answere is in it.
In Vito Audio Notes Touch 1.03 Settings you can activate Speakerphone. But all incoming calls will open on speaker.
@ReneD70: Sure, you should avoid making phonecalls while driving but if there would be a way to answer calls with activated speakers this would be like a hands-free kit because there would be only one click on the phone.
I checked the manual but the only thing i found is how i can activate the speakers during a phone call like Quack2 allready posted. I didn't find something how about taking a call with speakers activated.
This cable will do what you want

On top of all the other things this cable does, it also forces the call to be taken through the speakerphone on pickup

in and on the cooked roms if u answer the call and face the device on its face will auto activate the speaker with out the push of a button or slider
I love that you called the person ringing you your 'opponent'.
made me giggle
@ldx00: thanks for that link but this is not the best solution for me i think because i don't realy want to plug in a cable every time i enter the car.
@wingtytn: I don't have a cooked rom installed on my hd2. I got the original rom installed so i don't have this "feature". So this is not a solution for me too.
@madewokherd: Ok opponent may be not the best word for that
The best solution for me would be a second button to answer the call or a little app which causes the phone to activate the speakers when answering the call if this app is running. How can this be done? Would be great if someone could write such a hack or app.
automatic on speaker

with this app you can have a incomming call automatic on speaker,turn the app on iff you going to drive,turn it of if you dont go driving.
Thanks sitaniace for pointing this program out. Actually I found a newer version - 1.06 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369399
@mydom
I see, I always plug in in the car to keep the screen active, but if you don't, I see this is a problem. However, I also have a program called audioroute which I used to route the sound to the earpiece speaker when using skype (it defaults to external speaker). You can use the program to route all your sound to any output (earpiece, back speaker or headphones). If you search the forum you should be able to find it

So I figured there are a few of us switching to Android from an iPhone, and for most of us it couldn't come soon enough! Figured it'd be nice to have a thread to post questions/answers we have on the migration.
Here are a few of mine:
1. No visual voice mail on AT&T--If you have google voice, enable Google voice mail on the phone in Google Voice>> Settings. I still need to tweak a couple of things, but looks like it will work pretty well. Dialing in to get your voice mail just seems so 2003.
2. Contacts--Google Contacts is what I synced with, however when you sync your contacts with google, you end up with anybody you have ever emailed as the phone doesn't have the option to just pull in 'My Contacts' as of yet. Simple fix is to click options in the Contacts app, Display Options, and click to display only contacts with phones. Not the but works for now until hopefully Samsung addresses this with a fix.
3. Silent toggle--Here is where I'd like some help. There is no hardware toggle for silent mode, and it's pretty annoying to turn on the phone and have to select the 'Silent" profile. Anyone know of an app that will let you use the volume rocker when the phone is locked and the screen is off? Ideally I want to be able to reach in my pocket, hold the volume down key and have the phone vibrate to let me know it's on vibrate mode.
Update!! Widget locker takes care of this perfectly. you can wake the screen with the volume key, and then adjust the ringer volume from the lockscreen.
the silent toggle is what i am wanting too.. i havent got the phone yet, but it will be one thing that is missed from my iphone.. hopefully something like you described will be made..
i dont know if the captivate has it or if it is just a droid thing, but i like the lockscreen for the droid where you can switch it to silent that way too..
Swipe down from the top status bar (the one with the battery indicator). You will then have easy access to toggle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Silent and Vibration.
There are widgets that you can place on your home screen to deal w/ turning the phone to silent mode.
No Visual Voicemail sucks. Come on, even Blackberrys have visual voicemail. What the hell? Oh well, I probably just will never check my messages again. Most people text if I don't answer anyway. I'll have to see if Google Voice handles it the way I like. I've been wanting to use Google Voice more anyway.
yeah no visual voice mail does suck but there are alternatives but i dont care cause ive never used visual voice mail
Visual voicemail its up to the carrier not android. All HTC sense UI have it. Anyways try Google voice its even better because it convert voicemail to visual text voicemail.

Is visual voicemail something we could get with custom roms?

Seconded. If Sense UI has it, would hacked roms or the like, enable visual voice mail?
yes or no?
No--I believe visual voicemail is on the carriers end of things. For the iPhone AT&T has it set up but not yet for android phones. Hopefully that changes at some point.
Google Voice
Use Google Voice. It can transcribe your voice mails to text.
Free alternative
Just use YouMail its free from the market place. Been using for quite a while now. Works great even on the iPhone.

I Don't know why people are complaining about no visual voicemail, its almost like they are ignoring your post!
Google = Android = Google voice, and its much better than the iphone voicemail. Google voice LOOKS just like the iphone version when you open it up, but it will transcribe what they said into text if you don't feel like listening to the voicemail. It also sends you an e-mail notification that you have a voicemail, and you can also read/hear it through that email on your computer.
For the love of god, why is this a visual voicemail thread... on an Android device...
Sign up for Google Voice. Set it to take over your carrier voicemail. Enjoy superior voicemail experience.

On the demo unit I just played with at the store, I could hold down the volume key and mute the ringer if the screen was unlocked. I'm not sure if that put it in "silent mode" or not. Also, you have to have a pretty big pocket to fit both hand and device and still have room to swipe the screen...

getting tired of at&t
I came to AT&T in 2007 because verizons customer service and
billing was so bad. Now AT&T making me feel like I may have to switch again. They keep cripling phones and trying to manipulate the buyer towards the iphone. They're as bad as Steve Jobs in their limitation of chooses for their own agendas. Android is here, and they need to quit dragging their feet and cripling phones that compete with the iphone.
I like google voice, but the transcribing sux. I got a message today that said "A death please call me back" when the person was just saying my name and to call them back. And yesterday my wife called and she said this is Val, but it transcribed This is Dan lol.
Get "No Lock" to get rid of the lock screen. When you press the power or volume buttons it just unlocks the phone. Still requires swipe to pickup call.
The neat thing about that is that you can depress the volume down button until its silent even when its in your pocket

Bad transcribing is better than no transcribing There are cases where it is very useful (like being able to search)

I downloaded No Lock but didn't have a chance to use it as Widget Locker ($.99) does exactly what I want it to. I downloaded Widget Locker for the widgets on the lockscreen and it also has the option to allow the use of the volume keys at the lockscreen. Just started using it but so far I'm a big fan.
I was wondering if anybody knew of a way to silence my text ringtone (I have a 30 second song clip) by hitting the volume rocker/power button. Just to clarify, I want to silence it while it's going on (as opposed to just setting the phone to silent beforehand).
I know that hitting the volume rocker while the phone is getting a call will silence it, but it doesn't do it for texts or email notifications
Thanks!
I don't think you can do it.
But really, a 30 second sound clip for every single text message? How does that not drive you insane??
To be very honest, I think this was apple's exact argument for not allowing custom sms ringtones

Many times while I'm home my phone isn't in the same room as me, and they were just carry over from when I had my blackberry (in which anytime you hit any button on the outside, it would mute the current ringer). So I usually don't hear the entire clip usually, but it is very annoying if it is in the same room
Edit: Haha well I was sure that because RIM could do it, there would be a way to do it on android. I figured it would have to probably be built into a ROM or something
Is there way to make voice reply the default reply method. If there is back ground noise it take a half a minute for the watch to process my voice response. The voice to text on the watch is not nearly as good as my Galaxy S7. I don't see a button to retry if the watch gets my response wrong. Is there one? This watch truly could have used a better operator manual. Is there a YouTube video for this?
Is there a way to set the ambient screen so it does not sleep? I keep gestures off to save battery, but I want the ambient screen on so I can easily check the time.
Hi,
I've just got a watch 2 sport and when I've dialed someone off the watch and they are engaged I cannot see how to end call as icons disappear, I then have to get phone out my pocket , same when I'm on a call and want to end it off watch without getting phone out, unlocking it, then ending call, how do you?
Thanks.
Would like to solve the same problem.
u can set in option to ends call by pressing power button
I've tried wear dialer and that does what I want, ie there is an answer and a end call icon on the watch itself, it's not perfect because once in a call you can't see anything on the watch bar the dialer, if you want to see the time by pressing the home button it ends the call.
not sure if i understand good (my english is not very well )
if u have a call and wanna see for example time, just swipe dialer like u would close any app, call will remain and you will be able to see what u want and at the end of call press power button

Not my situation.
I cant see the call informations on my watch.
Once I pick up the call, call UI on the watch dissapear.
Kind silly if you are driving car and speaking to your bluetooth and you are not able to end call without picking phone out of your pocket.

That's what I can't understand, I call a number from my watch through my Bluetooth, the call ui disappears, the number is say engaged, I then have to go back to my phone to end call as the watch won't do it, the only way the watch will do it is by taking the call solely through the watch itself, the call ui then stays.
Not the best but I've stuck with wear dialer even though once on a call the watch only shows the call ui, if you want to know the time while on the call, you can't.
