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.

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

OK then does anyone have a dowbload link for a working one?

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.

yea...i find google voice search(goolge now) better...but each has its own features...and...annoyances....and both are far from perfect....
I remember having nuance voice commands on my org Galaxy S, couldn't do advanced things that s voice can do, but it detected my commands perfectly every-time.

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.

Google Voice when screen off

Can you use google voice when the screen off?
It might not be possible because of the Exyos processor
thanks

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

HTC Themes Problem

Hey guys, I'm trying to get into HTC Themes and when I try to sign in with my Google account it just keeps saying "We are unable to connect to the HTC servers. Please try again later" I've tried rebooting my phone and logging in with other methods but it keeps coming up. Can anyone else confirm that it is in fact the HTC servers and not something silly going on with my phone? Thanks!

Same problem here. Rooted, s-off, cleanrom. No clue what to dI at this point.

I have an HTC account and when I put my email and password in and hit log in and says please wait then a few seconds later I get the unable to talk to HTC servers error. See the attached picture for the exact error.

Exactly the same problem here.
Vanila Htc One M7 — it happens regardless of the way I try to sign in, gmail or htc account.

M8
Where you able to figure it out im having the same problem with m8 developer edition.

I am having no problem. I went to the desktop theme maker site first. Maybe that is required to wake it up on your phones.
https://themes.htc.com/#/landing

Went to the site, even created a custom theme there.
I then tried to launch themes again, no good...

Don't cry too much. The themes created kinda suck. You have no control over colors. They are picked by the app from those in the wallpaper. You can end with pinks and purples which aren't my favorites. As for icons it's easier to use a stand alone icon pack. Only thing that is really useful is that you can change fonts. Then again, the choices are limited.
I want to do things like change notification icons, the colors in Quick Settings, and NavBar icons. We need Xposed. I have Alpha 2 installed and tried Xtended Settings. Phone froze on boot. Did learn latest TWRP will do a Restore of ΠΣΘ ROM. So that's something.

I don't want to be a drama queen, sorry.
I just want blinkfeed to have a black background as it used to do before the recent update, I'm not even interested in fonts or icons.

I think we are expecting too much from HTC Themes. The only way I see to get the colors you want is to use a solid color wallpaper or one with four quadrants and the four colors you want.
As to not being able to log on, maybe they are doing some sort off staggered roll-out and it is out of our control.

Yeah, I still can't log on, getting the same error that I posted earlier.

I was missing the HTC Account service. If you go in to settings>App Manager>All, see if you have "HTC Account", if it's not there, it's not going to work. Not sure where or when I disabled/deleted mine... but I just ended up flashing a new rom on mine. HTC Account is back and it's working.

Doesn't look like I have anything called just "HTC Account". How can this be added? I am on CleanROM 3.0. Thanks!

I am not sure, maybe the cleanrom thread would be more help. I was using cleanrom also... perhaps Scott didn't have it in there at some point? Since it was recently mentioned that he wouldn't be working on a lollipop rom, I have since switched to Adrenaline and voila, "HTC Account" is there and running.

Oh man, that stinks.
When I was having the issue, I searched a bunch and came up with nothing. Definitely did not seem like a common problem at all. There were some older posts on a different htc product and how missing that service caused the same error that you and I were having, but the people that had the issue simply had to re-enable the service. Not reinstall it.
I tried reinstalling cleanrom, no wipe or anything, and nothing, still wasn't there.

Blahh, that really sucks. Anyone have any ideas I can try? Thanks!

I suggested early on your probably needed and active HTC Account. I was on CleanROM and thought I I had it there too. Have you all gone to Accounts and Sync and hit the "+" key and added it? It ain't there unless you add it. I do have an app visible in TiBackup called HTC Account. I also have HTC Checkin Service and HTC Connection service which may be pertinent. Maybe HTC Backup includes it. That seem to be readily available to download.
Just some ideas.
Edit: Unzipped CleanROM and there is NO HTCAccount.apk therein. Looked inapp and priv-app so you are on to something. I think there are some all stock ROM dumps in the Development thread. Should be in one of those.
Another thought. CleanROM is Kitkat. Do HTC themes just work on Lollipop?

Picture Message

OK, this may be a question with a simple answer, but I can't seem to find it. I tried to google it, but I can't find the right combo of keywords. I even tried looking through the manual. Here is my problem:
When I want to send a picture message, I hit the attach button and select a picture or take one with my camera. From there, my only option is to send it, there is no way to attach text with it. I have to send a separate message for the text. Even if I type the text fist and then attach a picture, it just sends the picture and erases the text. Am I missing a setting somewhere, or did Samsung change it to this? I am using the stock messaging app.

Yeaaaaa...Samsung must have made a change. My MMS's aren't as grand these days having to send the story and the picture in separate texts.

A work around is to start up a message with no recipients, add your picture and texts, then add your recipients

Solution maybe

I had the same issue, what i did was turned off volte and then later on it started adding the photo with the option to add text..also turning volte off enables you to drop individual calls when conferencing. ..hope this helps

I played with the model at Best buy and I was able to select a pic from the gallery and add text to it. Not sure why you can't

I will not accept any answer except i also have this problem from anyone, lol. There is no way anyone can have this working unless one of these work arounds works which i pray does cause this is driving me nuts. I cant believe after all my searching that this is the only useful post i've found and every single person with this phone is not annoyed as crap by this. Im not happy about our situations but i am happy i finally see this is not just me. God i hope one of these work arounds mentioned works & even with that samsung needs to realize how stupid this is & fix it. My wifes galaxy s6 edge has the same exact stock messanger & right when she clicks to add the attachment it adds it then takes her right back to the text, i dont see how ours dont do the same cause it's seriously the exact same stock messanger.

See photo below... I'm able to open the stock messaging app, input contact info, attach picture and type text.
I haven't done any special fix to make this work. I dont recall it ever not working.

volte is off. if you call tmobile and speak to tech support they will advise you to shut it off since it is still in testing stages and not ready for the masses.

[HOW TO] Install Note8 APKs no root

I was at BestBuy today and decided to extract some APKs from the Note8. I can confirm most of these work, like the Camera. If you have that install error factory reset your phone and don't set a screen lock method then install then ASAP. Stuff built for API 25/Android 7.1.1 wont install. Most will though. Don't try installing the keyboard. I will upload this to androidfilehost also.

And I don't mean to degrade your work. It's appreciated, however there are newer versions elsewhere. Many of these apps are useless to S8 users anyway. I was mainly meaning that statement as a Head up champ, you're not missing out on much.

I know, I plan to keep updating this when I can get the firmware release and keeping this up to date. I am also trying to get the Note8 keyboard to work with live messages. Still working but I got some Overwatch Summer Games to play before I work on that.

TIP: DO NOT install the phone app. While making a call the call connects but it sits at the dialer seem like there's no call going on. I believe it's the phone 1.0 but the app will not uninstall without a factory reset.

So what's the APK called in the package from OP?

We can simply install the apk right?

This works for me on a G955W with the August security patch: whatever Secure Startup is set to, toggle it (i.e. turn it on if it's off and turn it off if it's on), then reboot. Installing APKs over top of system apps works now.

Is there apps that can be installed without factory reset , without package already exist on installation?
Just if someone is able to normally install at least one, can you let me/us know which one ? (to know if its worth to download, for slow internet connection like me) thanks
