Text-to-Speech + Wifi only Notifications - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Are there any working Text-to-Speech apps out yet for ICS?
Also, is there a way to only receive notifications from certain apps ONLY when a wifi connection is on? I want to save my data.

I don't see why existing TTS engines wouldn't work - I use SVOX classic on ICS, just as I did on Gingerbread.

It's only a free trial and the comments said it didn't work on ics. I'll keep searching

Received answer on wifi question. Anyone regarding the TTS? I'm wondering if I should move this question to the development thread..

Any updates on when TTS will be available for ICS? I can't find anything on it.

Google has had TTS built in for a long time. What are you trying to do... just change the voice?

Go into data usage, look at your apps that use most data an click on it. Select a limit for data usage an click restrict data. Great feature of ICS

I'm trying to have my texts read out loud to me when they come in but it doesn't work. It only works when I turn "talk back" on but then my phone speaks everything, lol.

Download Vlingo from the market. Put it in in car mode. Turn on safe reader. It'll stay on now until you turn it off. Your prayers have been answered.

In car mode is on and safe reader is on but it still won't read out loud automatically... Please help!!! Lol.. Do I have to disable ringtone or something? My default messaging application is Handcart if that makes a difference.

Handcent* Sorry

For me, the best working solution is to press multitasking button and swipe away all the apps.

Thats what i did too
At first i tried to open my music, it opened my google voice instead :/ but thats the temporarily solution i suppose :/
This has not gone away. Even if I try to access messaging from the app drawer or recent app list it doesn't work. Hitting back cycles through other apps, does not help. The only way to access messaging is through the people app or through a notification.

Try rebooting it?
Like someone said, swipe away all the recent apps.

V cast messages apk... (w/ reply all)

I know some have commented about this app, the market says its not compatible with our gnex. I did have it for awhile on my phone but after rooting and wiping, now it doesn't show up in my market.
My question is... Is there anyway to sideload the apk? And if so, does any body have a file for it?
the app as a general texting app worked most of the time, but it really shined with group texting..... meaning you could reply to all in a group text setting... Something you can't do with chomp, go, or handsent

Google/Navigation talking over Earpiece

Google maps and Navigation announces its next moves over the phones earpiece even if the phone is in use. It will talk over or through the phone. This also happens to some music applications. Can this be resolved? It is very annoying.

I'm guessing it is working as intended, since they wouldn't want you to miss your exit.
You can turn of the sound on navigation all together though.

I understand. I thought when the phone is being used it has priority on the earpiece. This is how it worked on gingerbread.

Even on Gingerbread I've had directions barked in me in my ear while on the phone.

Youmail Visual Voicemail not erasing messages

Hey guys. I'm currently using a gnex running cm10 euroskank nightlies. I have searched the forums and Google but alas no results.
Even with Youmail set to delete messages after one day, and even if I delete a voicemail in the app, I'm still having trouble. For instance if I shuffle all songs in Apollo, voice mails that are old and were deleted just start playing!
This was quite embarrassing with friends in the car... I ran into a gas station and one friend got to hear some pretty nasty things said by the other... Which turned into a physical fight and the police being involved.... Haha all because of you mail!
I feel like it was the makings for one of those directv commercials....

Wow that stinks. its more of an issue with the youmail app. My friend just switched to android and is having issues with the youmail app, but sync issues instead. It seems like this app is poor and needs work.

Why not just use Google voice

Call them up and tell the to turn off you vm and then set your phone to forward to your gv number.

Thank you for the reply!
Wait. So I *72 to my gv #? Because if I'm doing that then why would I need to call vzw to disable their voice mail?

[Q] [Sprint] SMS auto retrieval

Hey guys,
I've had this phone a little over a month now and it's been giving me issues with SMS. Basically they aren't being retrieved automatically, and require me to either reboot the phone or dial a call (?) in order to receive them. I have tried different radios and ROMs with no result; the same thing always happens. What could this be? FYI tried PRL/profile updates a trillion times.

Anyone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app
Are you stock or Rom? Have you checked auto retrieval is set on settings? Check also in roaming to be sure
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I have been on stock as well as multiple roms. Also the auto-retrieval is only for MMS but is checked anyway.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app
Nobody has an answer to this? I seriously doubt this could be a hardware issue considering the rest of the modem functions are working (almost) flawlessly.
