Go to Settings> Accessibility and see if you have any features enabled. Sounds like you have a TTS service active.

Yes, TTS is enabled, but there is no option to off it. There is only one option and this is the text to speach engine.

I solved the problem. I had to disable the Google Text-to-speach engine in applications.

Notifications

Hi guys just wondering if its possible to have different tones for various notifications like sms,emal etc or is it just one tone for everything.Thanks.
If you already have some music on your phone that you want to turn into tones/notifications etc, download Ringdroid from the market. Worked well for me!
thanks mate will give it a try
I've got the unbranded Desire from Carphone Warehouse.
On this device, if you go into gmail app, you can change the notification sound for just that app in the settings. The default choice is "use default [notification] sound", but you can chose others.
You can use any sound they just have to be in the right place.
On SD cards root make folders. Then they will show up when looking.
Alarms - For alarms obviously.
Notifications - For message tones.

I'm not sure if your question has been fully answered; but I was wondering the same thing. How to have a different tone for sms, emails, facebook etc.
I know some apps allow for this in their settings but I can only see one place for 'general notifications' and this applies to all types of notifications.

For facebook open the app press menu then settings. You can choose a sound in here.
I think sms and email has to be the same. Someone prove me wrong please.

[Q] Disable contact pictures

hey!
just a short question: is it somehow possible to disable (remove!) the contact pictures that come with facebook-contact-sync?
thanks!
theo
edit: I am using InsertCoin HD-port
If it's just the Facebook ones you don't want, go into the settings of the facebook app and choose to not sync. Or if you don't want them to show at all go into the preferences of the Contact app.
I would like to sync all the facebook-contacts, but I don't want the facebook-contact-pictures coming with syncing "Facebook for HTC Sense".
the normal facebook app is not synchronising at all.
Open up the Contacts app and go through the settings to disable contact icons. To sync fully with Facebook, just go into the app, go into the settings and select sync all. If this doesn't work, go into Accounts and Sync and manually do it from there instead.

YES! thats what I want
but I can't find any "settings-menu" in contacs app ("people").
I am on InsertCoin HD Port - android 2.2.1
in contacts app I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
where can I find the option to disable contact icons?
THANKS!
Press the menu button on your Desire and it will bring up a little menu then just select settings. No idea what it's like on InsertCoin but should be still the same. They are there, you just have to find them. But seriously, press menu > settings.
arrr.
I feel like a real noob...I just can't find it :-(
as described above, when I am in my contacts app ("people") and press the menu-button I have only
-add contact
-view
-delete
-import/export
-search
-more (>blocked callers & linked contacts)
THERE IS NO "SETTINGS" option.
if you dont trust me I will upload some screenshots
cant imagine that there is no option like this in my HD-port...maybe I should ask in the Desire HD-forum...
nevertheless..thanks!
Sorry mate. I know what you mean now. Bloody native Android has it so you can get rid of the contact icon but Sense doesn't. I installed Sense earlier and I can't find anything. Guess you could get a 3rd party app and use that but as far as I can tell, it's not going to happen.

How to change "note to self" email address?

I have several google accounts added to my GNex. I like using the "note to self" voice action that will send me an email reminder. However, it is currently sending to the wrong account. Anyone know how to control which account is used? I don't see a way to control the "Google Now" account like you can with other apps.
thanks,
You could always set up a label that forwards those emails to the desired address.

Bottom of Google Now, the action bar -> Settings -> Privacy & Accounts -> Ta da!
Didn't know I could do this. Tried it and Google search force closed. Nice.

Well, thanks for that tip. Funny enough, changing that setting did not do what I thought it would. Notes are still going to the wrong account. I wonder how it is controlled?

So - what do you think "default" means? For the "note to self" feature, it is certainly using the first account I ever put on the phone. Almost everything else uses a different account. Perhaps it is the one I am signed into Google Play with? Hmm...

Go Launcher notifications question

So I did a search but didnt see anything related to this.
I want to activate my other applications to show notifications but they are greyed out. The launcher says I have to give them accessibility in the system to do that. When I go into my accessibility I never see go launcher in there.
How do I give Launcher accessibility then to apply notifications to the other applications?
The GoLauncher team have quite a modular approach to features, I think you might be missing GoLauncher Notifications:
I can't post a link as my post count isn't high enough, but just search "Go Launcher Notification" in Google Play for the extra little app and install it if you haven't already.
The Play link says it supports notifications for the following apps
Support for missed calls, unread SMS, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Whatsapp, Viber, Kakao Talk, Viber, Google Talk, Native Mailbox, Skype, Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, WeChat.

Take a look at the app screenshots on GooglePlay for how to check you've got notifications enabled.

Thanks for replying. I have the application installed and its working correctly. I have my Gmail. SMS and phone notifications showing up. Its the other notifications that are greyed out: Twitter, facebook etc. that I cant get working. It says I have to give accessiblity to the application in order to get them working but I cant find it under accessibility to give it.

I'm having the same issue. It seems to not work well with the current OS accessibility.
I'm also noticing that gmail will not show notifications when it's in the dock.
Hopefully someone has a solution.

[Q] Specific sound for a specific person messaging?

Hello,
I'd like all of the people sending me text to have a general chime. I have to respond to my boss 24x7 so I need a very loud and distinct chime is there a way to do that?
Anyone know if this feature will be available in the next version of Android?
Apparently, Textra SMS (free, no ads) from the Play Store supports separate notifications, bubble colours and delivery reports by contact.

Just installed it - couldn't figure out how to set a specific sound notification for a specific text sender.
From any text from the specific person, click on settings. People & options, click on sound....choose any sound you desire for that user

I apologize - are you speaking about the default app or another text app such as Textra?
I'm in the default text app. I have a message string open from the person whose notification I want to change. I do not see a way to get to settings once I have the message string open.
Forgot, I'm using the messenger app. Many options available in that app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging

Thanks - I just tested - unfortunately it doesn't seem to override the sound settings on the G3. I set my default app as messenger - not messaging (native) and it still uses the default sound for all even after I selected the user - people and options - sound.

The only thing I can find is you can go to the contact and make a certain ringtone or vibration for your boss.

Thanks - I guess it just didn't go into effect immediately or it didn't like the first sound I chose. It is working now! Very helpful!

Works for me. Changed the sound for a contact and the new sound played correctly

Yes, it may have failed on my first test because of the sound I chose or because I still had the phone attached to my pc and the settings didn't take. Working now thanks.
