S-voice - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So minor thing but in the dialer. When you tick the mic on the bottom left. It just goes to crap svoice. My step son just got the s5 and he was able to choose a default. And of course I was jealous that I have to buy an app to re direct me to Google voice search. My question is. Does kitkat bring that capability to the note3?

Type with your voice

Have you seen the new SGS2 commercial, taking a stab at Apple again. It shows how you can create an SMS by speaking, similar to Apple Siri. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=a4STej_rWlo
I've been using VLingo to do this, anyone know what App Sammy use for the commercial?
Vibrant on Asgard
Doesn't ics have this built in. Not sure if gs2 has it though

Yes its called voice talk. Powered by vlingo. Nice function about it is you can tap the top of your phone to activate it when in the app.

Does it really write as you speak or it first records your voice then write, as voice search does?
Like i say text so and so where are you and it sends them the text. After you confirm recipient and content of course.

the stock voice to text for ICS does this auto, and its as you speak, not after.
not sure if its compatible or has been ported to lower firmware versions.
I'm on the ICS ROM and yea, it types as you speak. Its alright at getting most of the words correctly. If it doesn't you can tap to show other options. Sometimes tho I have had a 'cannot connect to server' error. But I guess that's a problem that's on my part. Overall I'm impressed.

We've had Speech To Text since the beginning. I talk out texts in the car (only at red lights) all the time. You can voice search in Maps too. What's the difference? Type as you speak? So?
Its a marketing gig to get the drones to buy their product, and justify "v4" vs. "v5"....id be willing to bet that 85% of the people who have the new iphone played around with it for about a week or so, and once they showed it off to all of their friends, stopped using it completely.
hardly new tech... windows.machines have been able to do s2t since XP and I have voice input on my standard built in keyboard using gingerbread

How can I change my music?

I done a couple of Google searches and can't find anything to really help me. I don't know if this has been asked before or not? But I'm coming from an iPhone where when I had my phone locked I could double click the home button and change the song. Is there anyway I can do that with the s4? And also I ran the iOS 7 beta before I got this phone and they had an option where I could swipe up and the control center would pop-up and it'll have a bunch of random things and I could change the song. I've seen something like that for android but only thing missing was to change the music. I hate unlocking my phone and going back to the app just to change the song and I don't want to use s-voice to change it.

That, plus it should or can be enabled in the notifications pulldown. I'm in the same boat, just sold my I5 for a galaxy s4. New to Android.. love it. The fact that the whole market is basically what cydia was is awesome, but it's hard to find some of the features I was used to with activator and sbsettings.. In nX (nottach xposed) or 3minit Framework, the options to longpress volume toggle track skipping is available.. but I can't seem to get it to work for my I337. It is there though, most options are compatible if you're ATT as well. Worth a try.
I don't have any music on my phone I just use the unlimited Pandora which I used on a jail broken iPhone will it be able to control Pandora? I just hate having a widget on the lock screen besides the date and time. I know I'm difficult. Well I found this app on the play store “widgetlocker lock screen” but its for 2.99 I'll have to find a free alternative for the time being.

You can change songs using the notification bar. Even if the notification bar is hidden you can make it appear by doing a swipe down gesture from the top of the screen.

I guess since I'm using the older version of Pandora its not letting me swipe down to show controls.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
I have full access to Pandora from my lockscreen. Take off any pattern/pin/face unlock you have on your lockscreen and the Pandora controls should show there.
Simple fix uninstall ur hacked/ warez version of Pandora and install the legal version from the any store and it will work fine and have all the options

Try draging down with the pandora player in the notification panel.

I'm not going to give Pandora anymore of my money. When I was on my iPhone they had me upgrade to pandora one for $3.99/month which i did for a year and it was like I could “listen to music unlimited“ well once I skipped 6 songs it said you reached your limit you can't skip anymore songs for an hour after I paid money for it! Not doing that ever again.

Anyone..rebuttal?
I have that option as well. Doesn't work for me. I've only tried calling through a few different carriers, one AT&T (stock GS3) the other being Verizon (HTC DNA, custom ROM unknown which one). Both failed to call after what seemed like an attempt. I'm on Golden Eye 3.0 with KT kernel.

My best guess is it is the SAME as when I ran custom ROMs on previous Galaxy Series phones with ported from international series firmware. We would have the video call button but ATT doesn't allow video calling so it never worked. It is something that ATT blocks so it will never work. You can find threads in the Galaxy S2 I777 threads and Galaxy S1 Captivate threads on how to remove the video call icon from the .apk's and resize the layout so it doesn't have the icons out of shape/place. Unfortunately until ATT let's us call over data it will never work.

Unfortunately since it is NOT built into our phones firmware automatically (removed/changed thanks to ATT firmware) we could not use the same tactics the iPhone people used and have it cleared for use.
But there are other apps that we can use from the play store and have video over cellular signal. But the catch is you have to be rooted and use something like gTalk enabler or change a setting in the build.prop for it to work. You can try apps like Google Talk/Hangouts, Skype, Tango for video calling over the cell signal. I have used Google Talk and Tango.

Which launcher have this feature?

Since I bought the new Nexus 7 (2013), I want to give my original Nexus 7 to my daughter.
The problem is that she is three years old
So, I want to prepare the home screen for her...
Put all the games shortcut...
Then somehow hide or remove the app drawer...
Make it like kiosk mode
But, I can still reactivate back the app drawer. I don't know, probably via specific gestures or button combination.
Is there any way to achieve this? Special launcher?
Thanks

Yeah... You could use something like apex and delete the app drawer shortcut

If I delete it, I cannot go to the app drawer anymore.
Is there anyway to password it?

you can just delete it, whenever you need it again, all you have to do is add a launcher shortcut to the homescreen and choose appdrawer.
You could use multi-profiles and create one that's restricted to those specific apps only

Kids Mode
My 5 year old has access to my N7 and I use Kids Mode. It has saved my N7 from numerous actions 5 year olds make.
All you need to do is just have the Kids mode on the home screen, she can choose it and everything pops up and the tab is then shut down to what ever you dont allow access to.
It is the best $10 I have ever spent!! Or free if you dont want to really hone into the full features of the app.
There are a few apps like kid lock(famingo) that work well for this. UT defaults to the app, but you can unlock it and use it like normal.

No, I think he means that to use simple apps which don't support vr, to be used with vr. Is there a way to force the phone to display side by side no matter what the app your running so that is can be used with VR headset such as Google Cardboard?
