Text to speech - Sony Xperia ZL

My text to speech stays activated even though I've disabled it. Any ideas how I can permanently disable this? Freezing it in TB doesn't seem to work.

Text messaging (SMS) vibration not working

I searched but so far nothing helped.
I have had the phone for about a week and up until this morning the phone would always vibrate for a text and a call (even in silent mode) in which I had the settings. Starting today (this afternoon) I would only get vibration during a call and not a text. I checked the settings and it's still the same (VIBRATE on ALL in the main settings) and VIBRATE when receiving notifications for GOPROSMS.
What seems to be the problem? No matter what I do it won't vibrate during a text even after I restarted the phone, pulled the battery, etc.
Thanks
open both SMS apps
the stock SMS app, and the Go SMS app
verify each of their notification settings
nope still doesnt work
but I deleted GoProSMS and downloaded handcent SMS and now the vibration works even though all the settings in GOPROSMS were correct.
I looked it up and it seems that GOPROSMS was updated today, may that have caused the problem?
Same here, I have pretty much messed with all the settings and now after uninstalling go sms the notifications seem to still not work.
i'm using Go SMS as well, but it vibrates fine for me
I learned that vibrate does not work for me unless I leave haptic feedback on at maximum. the lower haptic feedback is, the weaker your vibrate..I usually don't like haptic feedback but it seems like it has to go hand and hand with vibrate.
that's explains why i didn't have the issue, i always have it on, to the max
and i always enable vibrate on any app that supports this feature
personally it makes the phone feel more realistic
it's probably an addition from the PS2 controllers with vibration

say "google" doesn't activate voice search?

Hi guys:
I have noticed a weird thing, I know there's a feature that you can say "google" after holding the home button and drag it to the google icon to activate the voice search. It works fine on me for a while, but I realized that after a while it doesn't work. Moreover, after a reboot, it would work again. Regular voice search still works fine by pressing the microphone button. Anyone know what's going on? I am on stock jellybean btw, but only rooted.
So it only works every now and again?
Also dragging any of the soft buttons up opens google now.
I have the same issue. The hotword option just randomly disappears. If you go into Google Now/Settings/Voice, the option to toggle it off and on is even gone. When you reboot it comes back, but then randomly disappears again at some point.
I had the same problem and realized i had the language under Google Now/settings/voice/language set to English (Australian).
After changing it back to Default-English (US), I have been able to consistently see the "say Google" option in the main Google Now page.
I have exactly the same problem, the language is always English (US), it still randomly disappears.

Do you use Light flow? I have noticed toggling "Accessibility" off and on when Light flow glitches out for me, or using Swype seems to kill hotword detection. Rebooting always seems to bring it back though
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I use both, light flow and Swype Beta. Which is killing the hot word detection ? How are they interfering anyway :s
I know from reading the issues log Light flow uses the Accessibility service. When you toggle Accessibility on and off, hotword detection disappears. It will just say "Search" in Google Now instead of Search or say Google. Dont know why but try it and youll see best way to avoid it is to not toggle that or just reboot after it happens
is there a good replacement for light flow ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I only use lightflow, not swype, so I am sure lightflow will interfere for sure.
the same problem in here
just got an update of lightflow - we'll see how it rolls
anyway google now 'google' saying works only when EN(US) is set as language
what is more - i see that any internal integration (e.g. saying 'set timer for 10 minutes') works as well only when the overall system language is set to EN(US)
I noticed this last week also. When it wouldnt respond to saying "Google" it didnt say "Search, or say Google" in the textbox on the voice Search (Google Now) page.
I uninstalled Lightflow and not had any issues since.
I've noticed that the hot word and hot word option only appears when you have English us set.
Change to English uk and they both don't work, also the other hot word functions, send email etc don't work as well.
Disabling light flow and restarting the phone fixes it.

Keyboard input notification?

I have a weird thing going on with my sprint (rooted on stock rom) gs3. Out of nowhere the keyboard input notification keeps showing. I had the Google voice input unchecked and it was staying that way after a reboot, but now it turns on automatically after each reboot. I haven't done anything at all, no mods, no apps were downloaded.
How can I make the option stick?
Thanx.
Notice that the Google voice typing setting got checked on its own while I had the phone on.
For some reason I suspect the Google search.

[Q] Disable Google Voice Typing

Hi!
Running stock 4.1.2 version of android (stock recovery etc), but rooted with CF-Auto root.
I cant rembember if this has happened only after rooting, but:
Google voice typing keeps enabling itself. When im popping out the keyboard (Samsung stock), a notification pops up and asks for "choose input method". There I can either choose Samsung stock or the Google voice typing. There is also a button to "set up input", where I untap the Google voice typing and leave Samsung stock enabled. Now the notification is gone - for a moment. After few hours / "keyboarpopups" the same notification pops up to choose the input method, Google voice typing available again..
Cheers!
so annoying
i have the same exact problem, and it is so annoying. the mic icon replaces the "," and i hate that.
I keep unchecking it from the keyboard setting but it keeps coming back!!!
anyone with solution? i searched without luck....

[Q] Stuck voicemail notification

My wife's Glide (running stock 4.0.4) has had a notification of a new voicemail for a few days, but there's no voicemail and we can't clear the notification. When you pull down the notification bar, the "clear" button is grayed out, and if there's some other notification (text message for example), the button will work but will only clear the text message notification. I tried swiping the notification left or right and that didn't do anything either. I also tried leaving a voicemail, but that didn't do anything either, probably because it already has a voicemail notification. Power cycling the phone didn't help.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to clear the notification?
Did you reboot the phone ?
Yes, I rebooted the phone and it didn't help.
I did some more searching and found one suggestion that worked: Call, leave a voicemail, listen to it, delete it, and hit "*" on the keypad. Don't know why it worked, but it did.
