Under the S Voice settings is a checkbox called "wake up command." It says "say 'your wake up command' to automatically make ready for listening to your command." The thing is, I can't figure out what this is for or how to use it.
I've tried saying "your wake up command" and my actual wake up command, but nothing happens. I can't figure out the point of this checkbox. Is this so I can unlock the phone while it's locked using only my voice? Or is it designed to be used while the phone is already on? I just don't know how to use this or what it's for lol. All help is greatly appreciated!
I thought you had to hit a certain button to activate the wake up. Then it would work once you said it.
After you talk to s voice and you get a response you can say "hi galaxy" and it will be ready for next command. you can change this to whatever you want

Try this. Put in your Wake Up command...then from the lock screen, say that command...S voice will come up.

I was wondering if there was an app or a setting that allowed my phone to flash to the unlock screen when I recieved a text. I am getting tired of having to press the unlock button everytime I get a new text and it would be much better if I just had it flash to the "slide to unlock" screen. I'm sure there is a way to do this, I just haven't figured it out.
Tasker will do it and much more.

Thanks, that program looks pretty sweet.
Anyway you could give me a breif tutorial on how to set that up. I've read the few tutorials I found online, but none were specific to receiving texts. I know it is an If/Then situation, but I can't seem to set it up the way I want. I think it needs to be something like... If (receive a text) Then, perform (whatever action it is that pressing the unlock button does). It isn't really "unlocking" the phone because that is what the slide is for. I guess I'm wondering what command the unlock button is.
You could do it with handcent. You just have to enable popups in the program settings and it will pop up over the lockscreen and even wake your phone.
or chompsms will do it too
i use chomp sms and i have it set so that my popups can be opened on lock screen and no work involved other than hitting reply, later or show ....
screen lock options are worthless for privacy because if someone wants to snoop thru the phone while any of the screen lock options (password, swipe pattern etc) all that has to be done is to call the locked phone from another, answer the call, and without hanging up, hit the home button or menu and bingo, full access to anything that is on the phone, text messages, contacts pics, whatever is accessible normally as if the screen lock was not being used...for the duration of the call. to begin with if the scren lock is on, a call should not be able to be answered with out some kind of eunlock sequence or password entry as well as with reading incoming texts which are displayed despite the screen being locked,(just have to be quick to look at notification bar to read it when it comes in)....
so is their an app that fixes this security flaw?

Although, what are the chances that someone who steals/finds your phone will have your number to call it anyways?

Then if you lose the phone don't call it that's the last thing I would do,, get myphone installed on your phone that way when you. Lose it you can track it or send it a text to wipe and lock the phone,,,

i.m not worried about the phone being stolen or lost, i have 'android lost' app for that, its others who do have access to that phone when i'm asleep or away from that phone, like snoopy girlfriend etc
there are other apps that can set passwords/pins/etc to individual apps. i forget that name but i'm sure it's not hard to find. there's one for locking files on your phone/sd card called iLock which i use.
On my Droid Incredible/Gingerbread I could configure whether the phone went to the call log or not after a call, but my Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 always goes to the call log - this is especially annoying when I'm using the phone to navigate and get a call, when the call ends you don't just go back to the navigation. Anyone see a way to configure this that I missed?
Definitely interested in this as well
There is an app called "Not Call Log" which can take you to the home screen, dialer or open an app after hanging up. If you use Tasker, you can also set it to do anything with a "phone idle" condition (that may not make sense if you're not familiar with tasker).

Even though the call log appears, i believe the activity stack is is still maintained meaning after your call ends just press back twice, the second leaves the call log back to your prior activity.
Somehow I or an app or a setting has changed and all of a sudden every incoming call is being announced with an annoying (and loud) "Call from" in addition to the ringtone.
I have searched all over XDA and Google and found lot of people saying it is driving mode (turned off), but I have checked that and it is not set to do this, but it still it does the announcement.
I'd like to figure out what is causing this and turn it off -- any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Kevin
Hmmm...do you have any apps related to the dialer, phone, contacts, or anything?
I assume you've tried restarting?
And, this is where you checked for driving mode, right? In Settings -> Language and Input -> Text-to-speech output -> Driving Mode is set to off?

I'll look back over my apps I've either tinkered with recently or installed.
I did confirm driving mode is off, but I decided to turn it on to see what would happen and I get two voice announcements. One says "incoming call from" answer the one I can't get rid of says "call from" in a slightly different voice. The one that says incoming is the one that is controlled by driving mode.
Thanks

This has been driving me crazy for days!
If you have Robin installed - this is the culprit. Go into the apps setting and turn off caller I'd!
Hope this helps...

That was it. I don't recall setting that but it recently updated so...
Thank you very much!
Yeah, I guess it set it automatically on the latest update... Very annoying!

Is there any way to stop the text from showing on to of things on the main screen? It's annoying how it goes over top of things.

Great question. I wish it wasn't there!
A bit late to reply but I hope it helps:
The OK Google bit appears to help you to know that that is when to say it. Once you have done it a few times it doesn't appear anymore.
I did:
1) Press button to fire up the display
2) I said "Ok Google, what is the weather going to be tomorrow"
3) I cleared the results once they had loaded, then pressed the button to power off the screen
4) Pressed the button again to fire up the display
5) "Ok google, what are the share prices?"
6) I cleared the internet search result that it displayed.
After that, no more "Ok Google" everytime the screen fires up. Results may vary, but by 3-4 timers it should definitely have stopped doing it.
Hope this helps.
