S Voice - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm able to tell my phone to send a text, but when I ask it to read last message, read unread message, read last text message, etc. I get a response back every time that says "driving mode on". My questions are is anybody able to have their phone check messages, how, and what is driving mode? If there's such a thing as driving mode, then logically I would think the phone could check messages so I don't have to drive and read.

Anybody?

Not sure what driving mode is, but I just told Svoice to "Turn off driving mode" and she replied back with "driving mode off".
However, as soon as I asked her to read last text message again, she turned it back on

IMO svoice sucks. I flashed clark44's freesg3 and google now blows it away. it works perfectly, just my couple pennys

Driving mode is under language and input in settings

Driving mode is meant to be used while in a moving vehicle so you may focus on the road and not be visually reading e mails and text messages and have your device speak your e mails and text messages to you.

Once driving mode is on it'll read text automatically...otherwise you can use command read text and it'll read any unread text to you if they were present before you turned driving mode on...you can test it by texting yourself

Please help I can't see my text messages!

I receive messages, the inbox show a number of messages between brackets, but when I open it is empty, it does not show any messages. Anybody got a clue why? :?:
Duplicate issue needs help
I am having the same issue. I have the ATT fuze, however this is my third one. The first one was perfect until there was a party foul that took it away. The second one had a typing issue so I replaced it. This third one is doing the same as the above poster mentioned. My today screen will show that I have text messages waiting to be opened but when I navigate to the folder there is nothing in it. Performed a hard-reset but the same thing happened. Installed third party software and now I can view the messages and reply. I am not happy with this "bandaid" but it will temporarily do till this can be resolved. Please help.

there may be something wrong with your storage card
the storage card can, by any means, have nothing to do with it. i personally never had such a problem, so i can just guess:
sample situation:
- i receive an sms, i see a notification, with the sender and the first few words.
- instead of clicking read, i press the hardware mail button to open messaging and read the sms
- while having it opened, i delete it.
- i go back to home screen and there is still a message and a notification
now i have confused my phone showing me new messages, although i already read and deleted them.
that is the only way i could think of to even get in that situation.
btw. that is the same thing with missed calls. if i have a notification of a missed call and instead of clicking the notification i open the phone manually and look whose call i missed, i will still have the message on home screen, telling me, there was a call i didn't know about, although i already checked.
please make sure that the description above is not the case.
because that is a general bug/user mistake, since the notification service is not fully integrated in pocket outlook, sometimes it gives out older data if you bypassed it to get to your information. that is normal. next time you get a message, try clicking the notification and click read or save as read, and look what consequences that has in your messaging folder.
if then still there is no message to be found, right after you read it once, it is still probably an error in the communication between notification service and pocket outlook, but then it is not your fault anymore you'd probably have to flash another rom then,
OR
it is something completely different and you need to contact your carrier, that receiving sms doesn't work out for you, that either you get a new sim or other network settings need to be changed.
my solution
I made some changes using advance config and changed portrait and landscape mode to cleartype. the fuze does not work with cleartype in landscape mode. Turn that off and it begins to work.
Text Messages not displayed
I know this is a very old thread but did anyone come out with a solution.
I'm still using my Blue Angel and it's come up with this problem.
I think it was after I received an MMS message (the first I received).

[Q] MMS Messages not downloaded automatically

Hello. I'm wondering if anyone can assist me.
I have an Xperia Arc, running the most recent official Sony release. I have not 'rooted' or unlocked the 'phone, it is as it left the O2 shop. Plus the odd scratch or two...
When I am sent an MMS message, two annoying things happen.
1. The 'ringer' doesn't sound, the vibrator doesn't vibrate. If you happen to be looking, the light on the side of the 'phone flashes once, then nothing.
2. When I open the Messages App, the conversation relating to the person who sent the MMS message is at the top of the screen. If I open this conversation I see a blank message with the text 'Message not downloaded' in it. After a long period of time of clicking and tapping, I found that if I 'Long Click' the Message Not Downloaded notification, I get the option to download the message. Once I have manually selected the download option, the message is downloaded correctly, and once fully downloaded, the 'ringer' sounds as normal, along with any vibration.
I have no problem whatsoever in sending MMS messages.
Once the option to download has been selected, I have no problem receiving the message (apart from seeming rather slow).
I've seen threads that suggest checking or changing the APN settings, I would have thought that has to be working correctly, as sending and receiving messages works, if not automatically.
I did wonder if it might be due to being on a slow network, here at home we don't have fast O2 mobile coverage, no 3G, Edge or HSDPA here, just plain GPRS (G in status bar).
Is there a way of having the 'phone automatically download the MMS message and content?
in the first voice of the menu, i guess you can find where to download content for data and mms
Duplicate. Sorry.

I've checked all the menus I can think of, but can't see any download options. Is there a specific menu you are thinking of here CavinRay?
I had this issue before, I use handcent, and sorted it by opening up the stock message app and going into the options.
Look for something to do with 'push settings' and make sure it's selected.
Might not help but worth a shot mate.

Thanks, I've just tried turning it off (it was already on) then exiting Messages, re-opening Messages and turning it back on.
I'll see if that has any effect on the confusion.

[Q] Stock Messaging App... What do these mean??

On the stock touch wiz messaging app I get these type of alerts/indicators/notifiers?? but am unaware of what they mean. The messages go through fine, but I get this small "X" right above the date on only some messages.
Does anyone else experience this? Has this already been discussed somewhere else?
I've attached a picture with arrows pointing at what I'm talking about.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
From what I know that means you have messages in those threads that failed to send.
Or rather, your phone THINKS the message did not send. I'm having this issue a lot lately with Sprint and this phone. In my area in fact a lot of people on the sprint network, including those using boost mobile, are having issues. The phone says the messages failed to send, but they actually do.
I have alot of text messages that fail as well. My wife's phone doesn't have this problem.

happens in low coverage areas. happens to me all the time at home. phone will say sending failed, but still sends, and people still reply. i used to keep hitting the exclamation point and it would keep trying to resend, even though it really went thru lol

That's their Google Talk status (you probably have their gmail addy in their contact info). The grey dot with an X means they are offline. If they're online, it would be a green dot; if they were connected and away, it would be a yellow dot with clock hands in it.
Thanks everyone. What's funny is that I dont have gmail addresses assigned to those contacts. Will look into it though, thanks again.
I talked to sprint and they are aware of this issue they are working to find a permanent fix, now this is what I was told. They also say turning the phone off and back on forces update into the phone because it reset with the network when you turn it off.
Just a bug probably.

That might actually be true. The next day after making the original post they were suddenly gone. I have not seen them since. It must be a bug they have to work out.
Thank you.
I had about 6 of those notifiers come up today and I immediately turned off my phone and re-started and they were all magically gone. Been texting since and haven't seen anymore.
Re-starting does indeed work as a temporary fix I suppose. Sprint should hurry up with an update already though.

Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
It sounds like they are on a pay as you go tarrif and every time he starts his phone a service on his phone uses his credit/balance.
Is this right chiujiewei?
Is it a text/SMS message or is it a notification from an app? Are you using a custom ROM or stock? Any chance of a screenshot of this in action?
thanks for the reply i found the solution..its a text/SMS message receive from the service.. there was preoblem in the message settings where push messages etc are mentioned..each time an sms is sent automatically at phone start without me knowing
i just disabled the option and reset the message settings
this helped me..thankyou all for ur considerations

text messages

I just received my watch today and noticed whenever I receive a text message I don't have the option to read it. The only options I see are reply, mark ad read, call, open on phone,and block.
Is this normal or am I missing some settings?
Any suggestions or help is appreciated.
Thanks
You just have to tap the text message and then scroll up and down to read.

I'm using the textra app as my message app.
After additional research I found out that the watch is basically a mirror of the phone (on the notification part), so if I wanted the conversation on the watch, I'll have to enable that in textra too. I have textra set to not show text message on the phone (a privacy setting). Whenever I get a text message on the phone it'll just show xx # of text message I would then press on the notification to see who texted me.
In the end I enabled show message in textra, now I can see the messages on my watch.
