Voice in a Can creator here: happy to answer any questions
Hi,
I'm the creator of Voice in a Can ... originally just for the Apple Watch and now also for Samsung Watches running Tizen 4+ . If anyone has any questions, either technical about the implementation, or about the app's capabilities please fire away.
Damian

Re the battery status what do you mean?
Re the Widget - I did think of that but I wasn't sure what value it would add ... you mean to more easily launch it?
What I *really* want to do is create a Tizen 5.0 complication so that people can place the launcher on their watchfaces ... hope Tizen 5 devices come out soon!

Amazing job.

anyway we will have this for google assistant too?

My reading of the Google Assitant terms of service is that it is for new hardware devices only, but I'd love to be told I'm wrong, since I'm pretty sure I've done a lot of the hard work with the low-level audio and http/2 connections already.

In the watch app you can swipe right to an empty screen. Why is this there?

Registration
Hello. Just bought the app from the GalaxyApps Store. However, every time I launch it from the watch, it gives me a new registration code. I enter it, I get the message saying it was successful and my registration is now complete. Then it happens all over again. What am I doing wrong?
Edit: OK, it seems to be fine now. On the 9th or 10th try, it stayed registered. I don't think I changed anything from one instance to another, so I couldn't tell you what caused the different outcome.

It shows visual feedback for some questions, such as "How deep is the ocean". I'll add an explanation on the page in the next release since you are not the only one who has asked about this.

Hi,
Which phone and watch do you have? I know it does not show up in the iPhone Galaxy Apps because they do not list paid apps there .
If you have an S3 or Sport can you verify that you have the Tizen 4.0 update applied?
Also could you let me know what country you are in, and what country your account is registered to? I've enabled it for everywhere except China, but I've had someone from Costa Rica that was not able to find it either.
I'm still trying to find my way around the Samsung store.
Regards,
Damian

Is Alexa or your app able to write and send messages using voice recognition ? It's a pain with "period" and punctuation signs in S-Voice ...
Which languages are supported ?
Thanks for your work anyway.

AFAIK you can't use Alexa to write and send voice messages ... the app doesn't "know" anything about your Watch or Phone ... it just provides Alexa functionality (general questions, home device control etc.). It should support any language that Alexa supports .. the language it uses depends on the Amazon account you use to sign up. Definitely English, German and Itialian .... but all should work (if Amazon Alexa supports them).

Will this be possible in future updates??

I love it ! Are you able change the voice output on app ? I.E. Different voices ? The current sometimes is a little low and hard to understand. Thank you and amazing job !

new firmware with S3 features

Samsung has released a new firmware for S2 with S3 features.
Actually there are several new features according to the release note (see screenshots)
I was able to use some of them, but I could not find the downloadable watchfaces from S3.
Anybody know where we could find them ? (with what name ?)

I don't think that it has full color always on.
IT would be a big feature. I believe it requires hardware. Not a software issue..
My Verizon (not activated) s2 hasn't even gotten the summer update yet... We actually got the March update in September... Sooo, I'm guessing we'll see this update next summer SMH. Honestly, I'm hoping the 'Pixel' or whatever watch/s rumor is true. I'm incredibly done with waiting on OEM's and carriers for updates for phones AND now watches.

What the hell is wrong with Verizon and software updates? I'm beginning to hate this company so much that I may have to switch carriers. They never communicate and treat customers like crap. No updates for the Gear S2 3G in forever. Does AT&T do a better job?

I'd recommend going unlocked with Smartwatches
I didn't know that one could purchase an unlocked smartwatch. If so, where? Looking at a Gear S3 Frontier LTE.
Got an update yesterday. NO idea what it does except cause a big battery drain. 4% in one hour. Anyone else? I'm in the USA.

I never had the beta. I was too late to register.
However, there are a lot of UI changes when compared with the leaked 1.5 version. ?
And the Bluetooth app installations in the watch are possessed much faster, although they are still slow as hell.

YES - in app store there is the old beta. UNFORTUNATELY the app has the same error that the last beta had (I have reported 3 weeks ago to the developers): when you call in S Health a training with recorded route the app hangs/crashes.
The same thing happens with other users or only with my iPhone SE?

i had installed on iphone 6 plus IOS 10.2
but as I said, unfortunateley, same that nothing is changed. only read whatsapp/sms, whatsapp no pictures, no contacts, no calls, no maps....
just downloaded the official app : works like a charm ! I got an iPhone SE (iOs 10) and a Gear S2. Here are the step needed :
- remove the leaked app from both your phone and your itunes library
- make forget the watch in the bluetooth settings of the iPhone
- reset the watch to factory settings
After the reboot of the watch, you just need to start the app and link them again. If this doesn't work, check the firmware of the watch, must be the last one.

I only reseted the watch. Nothing else.
Basically I installed the official version, and reseted the watch. Only then I uninstalled the leaked version. But there was a few minutes with both the official and the leaked versions installed and everything was working as it is now.
Ah, and I didn't make the phone forget the watch in the Bluetooth settings. Just left it there.

Gear S3 screen timeout - Altimeter

Hi All
I want to use my Gear S3 for paragliding. Does anyone know of anyway to have the Altimeter stay on screen without timing out? I need to have it on screen for the duration of the flight which could be 1-2hrs.
Many Thanks
Myles
not without interacting with the app every 30 seconds.
I've requested the ability to keep an active app open until manually closed, and i suggest you do the same.
more people requesting it means a bigger chance they'll change it.
you can suggest changes here: https://help.content.samsung.com/csweb/ticket/createQuestionTicket.do

Your link doesn't work for me. I'm in Spain, and the link just brings up a page with a message in Spanish offering to redirect me to Galaxy apps. No other option, so I accept that and it does indeed open the Galaxy Apps store on my phone - but just at the home page. I need to know the name of your app so I can search for it on there. Can you please therefore confirm the name of your app?
it's called "I Am Alive"
most likely the app isn't available for your region, so your galaxy apps app opens the main page instead.

Thanks. I searched for "I Am Alive" in the Galaxy appps store and found it without difficulty, and have downloaded it. Thanks heaps. Just shows, for marketing and practical reasons it's always a good diea to state the actual name of your app whenever you refer to it.
Hi everyone,
The main reason I got this watch was to use as a secondary alti whilst skydiving. I chose it based on the fact that I could use the app to keep the app open.
I tested it during a jump today and unfortunately the watch was still going back to sleep after 2 or 3 minutes. Have Samsung updated the OS to prevent wakelock of any type or something? Has anyone got a workaround or an alternative app?
Alternatively, does anyone know of an android wear OS app method to do this? I may have to refund the S3 and switch to the Huawei watch 2 if I can't get this working unfortunately. It would be a shame if I had to, its a beautiful smart watch (although I have found it to be very limited in certain ways).
Thanks

Which means we with T-Mobile devices don't get to use voice commands to answer or reject calls. One of my favorite features has been left out! WTF?!
Really REALLY not happy here... I use S-Voice CONSTANTLY.... I have (or had) the ICON on my desktop front and center... for years. Seriously use it 4 or 5 times a day to directions, to make calls, to make appointments. WTF ????
However... and this is the wierd part... It WAS on the phone until the latest update. I bought the phone Saturday.... migrated with switch from my S5... USED S-Voice Saturday evening... noticed an update had been postponed... did the update.... then S-Voice was gone. Again... I repeat... WTF????
I may be dead wrong and talking out of my a** here, but isn't Bixby supposed to replace S voice?

No S-Voice on Galaxy S-8+ which affects Gear Neo smart watch
I noticed that when I went to reply to a text on my smart watch, a Gear S2 NEO, there was no option to voice text, in fact S-Voice is no longer there at all. I could not find in the Galaxy Store or Play Store. This is a very valued feature on the smart watches to answer your text messages vs templates or emoticons. Please let me know if there are any other options or please bring it back!
I went to the previous link and a message appeared saying I could not download. I went to apk mirror and found this

I was able to download and install. After the install it said it had to update the voice service framework which it automatically downloaded and installed.

Smart Call Integration

I have a buddy who bought his S8+ in Singapore and his come integrated with a Samsungs Smart Caller Feature.
Based on quick research it seems it is Hiya app integrated in the Dialer. Phones that ha e this feature havd a tab on the Dialer called "Places".
My phone lacks this feature and had no option to turn it on.
Anyone else have any experience with this and maybe found a way to enable this?
To the senior members and developers:
Anyways to add this via an apk or will I have to flash a new ROM? I do not want to lose my Samsung Pay.
I have added Hiya and it works but the lack of integration really irritates me.

In my case i have also no 3rd tab in my dailer
but Hiya works fine.!
I also know that Hiya must support your
country data base etc , to work.
I don't have extra, Hiya app installed as
3rd party app.
See screenshots.
Ahh so I guess the places tab isn't part of it.
I installed Hiya from the Galaxy app store.
It works and there is a database within my country.
I am unsure why it isn't activated on my phone.
All that aside the main point is how can I activate it on my device. There must be a Stock ROM with Hiya Integration that will also keep Samsung pay alive.

if you look at one of my screenshot above
Screenshot is on Phone tab, /3 dot menu,
then you get above settings...
Halfway down ... Caller ID and spam protection?
If not it seems like your.... Rom /carrier
(might) have blocked it, for some reason?
I'm on Verizon, and they sell a caller-id app for a monthly fee, so I don't even need to check to see if the free, built-in Samsung feature has been disabled.
I live in the US and imported a S8+ 955FD, and I have the places tab:

I don't have the caller ID and spam protection.
See screenshot.
Looks like I need a new ROM.

yes ,i agree you do not have relevant option .!!
Only reason i can deduct from that ,is maybe one of these reasons .... ...??
Hiya ,does not officially support your country database ,
which you claim Hiya does ?
I would check with Hiya website /email them ?
Maybe ask them why ?
If you got a carrier branded Rom ,then your carrier choose not to included it in their branded supported Rom .
I would then query them ,why services is not available or included in Rom
If you choose this option ,
make sure you query someone (in carrier service that should know reason )
and not some ignorant person ,just guessing why not .!
Remember /bear in mind,
that flashing another Rom, does not always guarantee , to fix issue . !!!
Good luck
I used this to turn the feature on, but the caller id feature doesn't work. https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-s7-edge/help/built-caller-id-hidden-t3357996

I've got a TMO S8+ and hadn't enabled it yet. Looks like it has to be set up and may be carrier specific.
Oh and Funk, you should try Arepa Mia, my fiancee and I go there all the time. It's amazing.
I'm bumping this to know if anyone found a way to activate this "Places" tab for phones where it didn't come activated by default please ?
smart call integration
I have a question about smart call integration.
Not sure how to activate this but I can tell you for sure it is blocked by the carrier for conflict of interests. Since they do have a paid service for this. This feature has been available since Marshmallow. It started back when I had my s6.

Places activation seems to be determined by CSC (similar to Samsung Pay) . I imported a 955FD and it didn't come with Places activated because it was running the TPA CSC firmware. After I odin flashed a XSA CSC firmware, Places shows up and functions (but everything is in meters).

In my case i have also no 3rd tab in my dailer
but Hiya works fine.!
I also know that Hiya must support your
country data base etc , to work.
I don't have extra, Hiya app installed as
3rd party app.

i think it's this Samsung theme " Black_Paper "'Samsung Theme store .
( i am on another theme at moment )
Unfortunately ,it's a paid theme .
But it does not stop you from "trail /test " of theme .
Good luck

Thanks alot appreciate it
This tread doesn't seem to be active much, but I am planning to flash my phone to T-Mobile and wanted to ask T-Mobile USA users if they have "Identify Spam Numbers" or similar option. This option should be in phone app, then ..., then settings and there should be a toggle for it.
I remember the AT&T version having it. But I switched to the Exynos version so now I'm missing that feature.
