[Q] Note II speaking outloud! [SOLVED] - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys,
I am facing a weird problem with my Note II . My phone is always in Silent mode ie. Vibrate only. Today I turned to on to Sound mode and to my Horror It says out loud the callers name or whenever I get an sms!
The funny and important part is My DRIVING MODE AND TALKBACK ARE OFF! Even I have unchecked the Speak caller ID feature in TalkBack (its still off) separately done the same in driving mode..
I have no idea how to stop this.. Any help is highly appreciated
Regards
Ashhem

I guess that was caused due to talkback!
Anyways thanks a ton.. Will keep trying...

Did disabling talkback fix it for you?

Hello,
No talkback was always off. However finally after digging too deep, I realised that the App Robibn (Its an app like S-Voice or SIRI) was doing all the talking.. It was not a built in function!!!
But I changed the settings of that app and my phone is back to normal!! Yippie :laugh:
Thanks all
Ashhem

Nice, glad to know it's fixed
Quite annoying when the phone talks randomly :cyclops:

Issues with V20c release

I'm having a problem were i cant enable USB DEBUGGING anymore seems to be grayed out. So i talk to an LG mobile rep. and he suggest factory reset. I DO IT, still doesnt let me enable BUT i noticed some options that were not there before the reset. I can now not only stop but also disable apps completely even the ones you normally couldnt uninstall unless you had root. Anyone else noticed this?

can anyone comment on the in call proximity sensor?
In gingerbread if you put the phone to your head to talk and removed it, sometimes the LCD screen wouldn't come back on.
Is there maybe an option now in phone settings to keep LCD on during calls??
Thanks guys.

Google Now not speaking back

Apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere in this sub-forum. I did a search and nothing turned out. So, I just got the OGP and have been extremely happy with it. Tried Google Now voice search, and while it has no problem recognizing my speech and giving me answers, it will not speak back to me. I have language set to English and Speech Output set to Always Speak. Apps volume is set all the way up too. Will anyone here have any suggestions to solve this issue? Thank you in advance.
Anyone?

I guess it depends on what u asked I tried a few things. Only got the webpages without a response. I said "talk to me" and Google voice talked to me. Try it and see if that works for u.

Thanks. At what point did you say "talk to me"? My wife's Galaxy S2 talks back with any simple question (like "what is the capital of Illinois?") The OGP just shows the answer and the map. I set Google Now to always speak back (and the app volume is up), so I am trying to figure out why it's not working. It's a bummer.

I don't know excatly. My guess is that it might has to do with lg software not fully working with all the Google now features? And I said it like after 3 tries.

You have to make sure your phone's sound is on. It will not work in Vibrate Mode, even if you have app sounds on and Speech Output set to Always Speak. Just tested and it worked with ringer turned on, but not when set to Vibrate.
Phone sound is on. Google Now speech output is set to Always Speak. Media volume is all the way up. Still, zippo, nada.
Worst part. My wife keeps on egging me that her two-year old S2 does it, and my "big and fancy-schmancy" G Pro does not.
You need to turn the System Volume up, not media volume.

System volume is on.
Problem solved by clearing data and cache from the Google Search app. Thanks for all the responses!
Glad u got it working

Daydream Issue

So I just got this phone and upgraded from Nexus 4. I really liked when the phone was charging how it would show just the time but dimmed. When i charge the G3 it just dims the home screen and stays there. Never goes to daydream or sleep and shows the time. Very annoying. I tried turning on "either" or "charging' on the daydream setting, but no luck. Anyone else have issues?
Yeah mine doesn't start automatically either. I have to manually start it.

Kind of defeats the purpose. I dont need my home screen, which stays in one spot, causing burn in while my phone charges.
Doubt burn-in will be an issue, but yeah it's annoying. I use Ocean HD which is an amazing live wallpaper which has a daydream option. Still doesn't start auto though.
Did you change the settings within day dream.. There are 3 options. Docked, charging, or both
None of them seem to make a difference.
Hmm will try it out and let you know
---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------
Just tried it out..its working for me
So it starts automatically when you plug it in to charge?
Yes sir
Hmmm. Sucks for me I guess.

Thats weird. Doesn't do jack for me no matter what i select. Its not a huge deal but i expect things to work when i pay this much for them.
Fixed!! There is an option under developer options that says screen will never time out while charging or soemthing to that effect. It was prechecked for some reason. I unchecked it and daydream now works!

I've been looking through the apps and nothing sticks out as being tied to the button lights. I did some searching on Google and didn't find anything either.

Ok Google to unlock?

So for some reason my phone won't Uncle and let me talk to it with the ok Google keyword. If I say it the phone recognizes I said it, the screen turns on but nothing else really happens. I'm on stock Android 8.1

You have to enable that in GA settings. It is off by default. Search settings for "unlock with voice match". There is a toggle for it.
Yes that toggle is on already, I've retrained the voice module a few times also. Still no luck
