So, I got my new note 8.0, and I tell SVoice "Start timer for 10 minutes" and she says back to me, "This device does not support this feature." Really? Why would they not have the standard Samsung clock app that has the timer and stopwatch? I tried using the one from my S-II, but it just FCed on me. Tried loading one from Play, but SVoice still doesn't recognize it has a timer program.
Any ideas?
Use Google Now instead of S Voice, and ask it to "remind me in 10 minutes to ....". And add Ivona Voice text to speech with one of the Ivona voices to get rid of that God awful robotic voice Samsung included.

Yeah, the Google now works (thanks for the tip), but I still find it strange that the clock program is missing that has the stopwatch and timer functions built in.

If you've got Google Now, ask it to set a timer, and watch what happens.
It sets a timer from the stock alarm app... And I don't know where to access that option..:good:

what actually are u asking???
jsss set up ur account everything works.. if you are looking for commands...get everything over here
Google Now Commands
Google Now works with network (and GPS) on all the time. To activate, long press home button and 'G' point (the middle button), use menu and parameter, here you can active google now. You must also activate Search history in your google account or google now parameter.
After you activate google now, on parameter you have new entry for what to use.
Google now is a sort of assistant, he can show you the wheater based on your location, the next appointment based on the calendar, the next show, based on your internet search, and so on.
But there is no widget, so it's as useful as it's intend to be.
When i want to send email,,nothing,,google now just open google search with text ..send email etc...So how to send emails with voice?
Tnx
In fact for me works only google search with voice and weather card.

Try AIVC (Alice) from google play its free it works exactly the same as s voice but I think its much better it does what your after and sends emails or sms or makes calls sets alarms checks weather etc all by your voice.
Just install it and double tap the home key to activate.
Anygood?

This is a well known bug in several Samsung models. It happens when you install an app that has access to accessibility or LED controls, and who knows what else.
I have a SmartWatch app which requires Accessibility to be turned on. I also have the SwitchPro widget which can turn on the LED flash, which makes matters worse.
The ONLY way to get rid of this problem is to disable all TTS (Text to speech) services and applications. Go to Settings --> Applications manager --> scroll right to "ALL" --> Disable "Google Text-to-speech Engine" and "Samsung TTS". If you are using 3rd party TTS apps, like Ivona, you'll have to Force Stop these apps as well. Which is a really bummer because I like to listen to my books using TTS using ReadBoox.
I'm hoping Samsung will fix this in their future updates.

Really thanks for answered.

Another way to at least temporarily get rid of this is to clear the cache of the TTS Engines. The darn bug comes back, and it's a bit of a nuisance, but you may be missing features of your phone if you disable it completely (Navigation?). It's NOT a permanent fix: disabling the Engines is.

I use google voice for texts a lot and stumbled upon an app that integrated google voice into the stock messaging application of the phone. This is not a standalone messaging application like "Google Voice + Messaging" app, but instead can set the stock app to use gvoice. For those who want to check it out here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tZHJ0b29scy5hcHBzLmd2aW50ZWdyYXRpb24uZnJlZSJd
It works perfectly except one thing: For some reason I am not getting notification bar notification from the messaging application for new texts received. The texts themselves come in and can be viewed if you open the messaging application but it doesn't send the status bar notification. Can anyone try and confirm this or is it just me because I don't see it mentioned in reviews. As an alternative I just have the default gv app notify me and I use messaging app for actually sending.
The reason why you don't receive your notifications anymore is because of the Google Voice App update. Every time the GV app updates the integration app must be updated also. The developer just stopped. It sucks because it was an amazing application.
There's another one on the market that does the same thing also but it's a separate messaging app themed like the stock one.

Actually, the app works fine in Android 4.0 and 4.1. I have used this app a long time, and it quit displaying notifications with the 4.2 update. So I grabbed the mms.apk from 4.1 and it works fine again. Every time I update my ROM now, I replace mms.apk with the one from CM10 I keep in /sdcard and it works great.

2) bubbles/quick emoticons since I previously used the mms.apk from here:

Are you sure you haven't got talkback enabled its different to talk
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
theres an app called chat heads or something like that, that enables facebook like notifications to whatsapp and other programs.
Thats guaranteed to enable talk back even if is off. Check what you installed lately, probably its an app that does the same.
LOL
That's some high tech Note 2 you got there.

Can't get reminders to notify, either in notification bar, LED or alert tone. They show up in Google Now after time expires but don't seem to interface with the device OS. Running pure stock, s-on. Any fix for this?

i would check your setting inside your settings for your notifications and make sure that reminders are set to ON. Don't know if you are, but try doing a reminder in the calendar app. Also, try different ways, like hourly, daily, specific times. See if any of that works.
All settings have been checked thoroughly. The problem is exclusively with Google Now. Others have also reported this problem with the HTC One and other devices. Just haven't seen any fixes or explanations for this issue yet.

Thanks. Keeping fingers crossed that 4.3 fixes this. I'd really like the functionality. May need to factory reset (PITA).

I've had issues from time to time with Google now. It will be streaky. Sometimes I can go about having a full week where it will remind me to leave for an appointment about 1-2 hours too late. Or sports scores are severely delayed. (1-2 days)
This has happened to me on a variety of devices. Nexus or not. And I do nothing to fix it. It just seems to fix itself. I figure it's just a weird glitch/bug in the server side with google.
Ok I change my earlier comment. It happened to me today. I never got a reminder I had set earlier

Basically, if you can't rely on every pre-set reminder to notify you, you can't rely on any reminders.

Yep. I no longer trust it. Doesn't really matter though since it is not working at all. I set reminders for 8 straight 1/2 hour time frames today and was not notified of any. Yes, all my settings are correct. I can see them in google now but nothing shows up otherwise.
OK. Problem is now, apparently, fixed. I uninstalled Google Calendar app and set up the built-in HTC calendar app to sync with my Google calendar. Also made sure notifications were on in settings. Took a while, for some reason, but now both time and location-based reminders are coming through for the first time: alarm, LED flashing and notification bar icon (finger with bow tied on it). Clearly, the problem was conflict between Google calendar (a somewhat better app in my opinion) and the one that comes with the device.

I assure you it had nothing to do with Google calendar app. Mine has not worked at all for a couple of days and I was testing it all day and night. All of a sudden it started working late this afternoon without me changing anything. This was on Googles end.
I think you are exactly right.
