I was pleasantly surprised when I received a text msg and my TP2 read it out loud. I have looked through the menus and cannot find where to configure this. I would prefer to not have them read out loud upon receipt.
I would also like to find out how to have the phone read my text msg's out loud on demand. Any help would be appreciated.
Turn off auto-announce: Settings > Personal > Voice Command > Highlight Messaging > Choose Options > Uncheck "Announce New Messages".
All I need to figure out now is how to get the TP2 to read text messages on demand, like some of the other VZW phones do when you hit the spacebar while a text message is open. Any ideas?

Supposedly this phone is able to announce incoming callers and read sms messages?
Voice command is enabled.
Messaging and phone are checked off
Notifications tab: Announce notifications through device speaker or wired headset
Only During Free Time -- Unchecked
What do I have to do to get this to work?

Well I know under the "phone" options (button), you have to maually select "announce incoming calls", but you may have already done that as well. Other than that I'm not sure why it's not working for you..
There's a little too many menus on this thing.
Settings -> Personal -> Button has "Voice Command" selected for Send Key (Hold).
Settings -> Personal -> Phone: I see nothing for incoming calls.
I don't quite know where to look for this option. Also, once there, will there be an option for reading text messages too?

sorry silly, I didn't describe that very well
settings-personal-voice command (same place you probably saw the settings mentioned in your first post). Highlight "Phone" in that list, then hit the "Options" button to the right. On the following screen, check "announce incoming calls".
Also, do the same for the "Messaging" item in that list...hightlight it and hit "Options" again. This time, make sure "High priority messages only" is unchecked.
Those are the only other voice-command related settings that I didn't hear you mention already.
awesome.. worked wonders. i didn't know each separate listing had options. weird voice though lol. thanks

Awesome, glad it's working! Yes, the interface isn't very smooth, and that voice leaves something to be desired. If you want to adjust the speed that it reads to you (I slowed mine down), there's a setting for that in Advanced Config (the app)
I've got no 'voice command' anything on my phone?

Are you using a stock ROM? I wasn't aware that there were any that didn't include MSVC. You can try the attached cab to add it, but first check in Settings -> All Settings -> Personal to be positive that you don't already have it.
I'm using that ROM from the HTC website from March.

Gotcha, I just thought it was packed in any 6.x OEM ROM. Did the cab work for you?
All I have is Buttons, Phone, Input and Keyboard Sliding Sound.
I'll try the cab.
how do you get the automatic text option to work,does it work when you ignore or just miss the call? thx again
It isn't really an "automatic" reply from what I learned. You have to click send message at the bottom of the ignore button when a call pops up and the message you have saved to send will show up and you hit send.
There is an option for an automatic text reply Under Settings -> Phone -> Advanced
Is there or anyone know of any apps to block/redirect particular calls?
i.e. if phone number 07123456789 calls then it will automatically send to voicemail / another number or even just disconnect?
and/or if it worked for unknown numbers even better...
Keep getting nuisance calls, I've changed my number once and don't really want to do it again as I've only just got used to this one - I read that o2 will just suggest to change number
Thanks
In your dialer's call log, long press the number, then select the option to add to blacklist It should instant redirect it to voicemail.
long press the number and i get 'view detailed call history' 'edit number before calling' ('view contact' or 'save to people') 'send text message' 'delete from call history'
no blacklisting?
however, if i go into the contacts and i can select the 'send to voicemail' feature and turn it on
thanks!
If you took the EL30 update and get a System Force Close Error when you recieve a phone call ,Try going to settings, Call settings, Reject with Message and see how many you have ,anything over 5 will cause that error, If you have to delete some , Hit the menu button Select Delete and check off the ones you want to delete..
just for the record "flastnotes" method works. thats allowing the update, waiting for it to fail, then just pull battery out and then reboot phone.
I really dont know what your talking about , Im talking about a force close error when recieving calls , sounds like your rooted or something and dont want the update bugging you..
1/26 update:
If a force close error is displayed when you receive an incoming call, ensure the "reject call with message"
set up includes no more than 5 messages. To access these settings, go to
Menu > Settings > Call settings > Reject with message, choose the menu key and select 'delete', check
the box next to each message to be deleted and select 'delete' again

Np......I just copied from a sprint rep
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
On my Galaxy S4 it was easy as pie just going into my contacts and i can select a different tone for each person, each call or text etc. But all i see is one tone for all texts and that also includes app updates and stuff
This is really easy to do. Open an individual contact, click on the edit button up the top (looks like a pencil). Scroll about halfway down, and there's a Ringtone option. you can choose a ringtone from the list here.
That is not changing their specific TEXT tone
I don't see it under stock messaging (maybe because I'm not using it as default) but in Google Hangouts you can open a contact, open the ... menu (upper right) select People & options, and change the "Chat message sound"
If using Hangouts as messaging, I'd turn off auto retrieve MMS until the MMS Trojan horse exploit is patched.
Kinda a hassle for something that has been standard/basic for a while.
Its this just a LG issue?
Sorry, didn't notice you'd meant text notification. Don't think it's possible.
