Does anyone know how to hide the little smiley for emojis and the microphone for speech to text in GO SMS. I never use those two icons on the text input box and I want to removed. I can't seem to figure out how though. Been through the menus a few times.
I have seen in some photos of Go SMS themes and it's not there which leaves me to believe there has to be a way to hide it.
I'm also looking for something that can disable or remove that voice button from Go SMS... Waiting for some positive reply!
Been looking for that too. For me that gosms microphone button doesn't even work. I speak into the phone but no words appear in the texting field while if I press the microphone button on the keyboard I can speak into the phone and the words appear in the text field. So what that gosms microphone button even is I have no idea!
same here
ive been looking for the solution over a long time . but no good news for me. anyone else?

As the title says...
I like the threading layout but I can't figure out for the life of me how to call. In a non threaded SMS I can just press the phone button while inside the msg and it would prompt to call. Now... nothing...
Anyone?
Hit the back button to go to the list of all threaded messages, highlight the set from the person you want to call, then press the Talk button & it'll open up the Phone app & input the number. It won't say their name, just the number, but it should be the right person.
I miss that function too.
NICE! thanks!
Is there a keyboard shortcut or something similar where I'm able to send a message without actually pressing "send" on the display? Yes I know, the send button is only a few millimeters away from my finger tips but I'm to damn lazy and I like sending messages with speed lol. I believe I was able to do this on the Wing or the MDA, not quite sure... but yeah if you guys have some good input in how to send a message without using the damn "send" button on the display that would be killer. Thanks!
Is there voice input apart from S Voice? I have tried a couple of other keyboards (including, of course the Google keyboard) and there is no mic icon to be found. I have scoured the menus, including the developers menu, finding nothing that would enable voice input or voice typing. Really perplexing and frustrating omission of a feature. I am running rooted and stock. Any ideas how/if it can be done? Thanx.
Samsung Keyboard has the Samsung Voice
Swype has it's Dragon key for voice input
You can also Select while typing Google Voice Input (not really a button but it is not really a keyboard either).
sorry, I don't understand...

Are you saying there is a way to get voice input? I do not know what the dragon key is. ?? I do not understand your last comment either. Sorry if I sound like a doof or something. I am fairly adept at setting up these phones but this issue just eludes me. Could you explain it to me like I was a 4 year old?

Yes.
You can select whatever keyboard you have loaded by selecting the keyboad symbol when you swipe down from the top.
Four Images...
1) Samsung Standard keyboard has a mic button
2) If you load Swype, they have what they call Dragon Talk which is the flame looking key on the right.
3) If when selecting input device (The keyboard at the top) and select Google Voice Type, you get
4) which is ready to listen to your text. It's not really a keyboard but can be used regardless of what keyboard you have selected.
Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to reply with attachments. I just downloaded Swype/Dragon and surprisingly the voice input works! However I still have no 'mic' button in Samsung or Google keyboards. Strange. Any ideas? I am happy to use the Swype but I would like to figure why that feature is not working in the other two keyboards.

make sure voice typing is selected in language and inputs under your settings.
on your keyboard if you have a 3rd party keybard to the left of the keyboards space bar (the one with the 3 lil dots on it) hold the button down until the button shows more options. One of them is the mic. the button will default to whatever that last selection is.
I get what you're saying...
The problem is there is no selection in settings to activate voice typing. Also on the Samsung keyboard, pressing the button to the left of the space bar only yields the options shown in the screen shots below. Again thanks for your input and assistance.

Oh in that case, you need to install Google search, will automatically install the voice and GNow features.
Thanks
Yep, that did it. Thank you. Pretty lame that this isn't a feature of the OS itself, but hey we're talking Google... Thank so much to all who have contributed to the solution.

"Text to speech reads messages out loud, allowing you to listen to text or messages instead of reading them. To change Text-to-speech settings, follow these steps:
Text to speech
From any Home screen, tap Apps.
Tap Settings.
Scroll to 'PHONE,' then tap Language & keyboard.
Under 'SPEECH,' tap Text-to-speech output.
Tap Speech rate and then adjust how fast the text will be spoken.
Tap the Settings icon next to the desired TTS engine (Samsung or Google).
To tap the Settings icon, the TTS engine must be selected.
Tap Language to adjust the spoken language.
Tap adjust any other desired settings""
In my Sprint Version... there is NO "Phone" under the apps/settings...
So.. Im back at square 1.

For the GN4 its under settings/language and input.
I use this app because it has the option of only reading sms and other notifications while you have ear buds or Bluetooth connected. There are certain texts from my wife that I don't want read in an artificial British females voice to the world at large...

ok.. I got everything turned on.... BUT..
what do I actually have to do to get it to read it out??
lets say.. I see my blue LED flashing and I know I got 3 txts from someone..
I hit the button (home or power) and the lockscreen comes on..
I see the 3 txts there.. Now what??
What do I do at this point?
I hit the home screen button twice and maybe the mic button shows.. mostly not..
then IF it comes up, I'll say "ok galaxy" read me my txts".. and it wont..
Sometime it will display the txtx in a really tiny font, but never reads it aloud.
my old mega.. Id hit the home button 3 times and the voice would say." what would you like me to do?"
and Id say "read me the txt messages" and it would.. then say out options asfaras , reply, call etc"
But I cannot get this GN4 to do it.
the mega was at 4.2.2.
Im stumped!!
thanks for all the replies..
what's the easiest way to access the read aloud function.
thanks again!
My best advice would be to ask in the T-Mobile Note 4 forums here at XDA because they have a lot more users currently. Maybe ask on Samsung specific sites. Sorry I couldn't be of more help but I'm definitely interested in knowing how to do this as well.
well I found the culprit, i reset my phone and everything works. Until I installed Greenify. Uninstall Greenify which I could not do, had to reset the phone again to get rid of Greenify. Now I can get as far as to speak to me, it is talking to me but still cannot get it to read the text message. I did it one time, but haven't been able to do it again. I am still working on it.
Hey all,
Please don't flame, I am just looking for help (and I did search, I just want to make sure I am reading the state of things correctly).
I got a Moto360, and I use a Gear Fit. Is there still no way (on an S5) to use a "quick reply" to a text? Using the stock app? It is so nice on the Fit to just swipe a pre-configured text reply. I can't seem to do that on the 360, and what I read indicates I have to use a third party app?? Seems backward, but do I have that right?
Also, I can't seem to get my 360 to vibrate when I get a notification (email or text). I'm sure this is just user error, but I can't find the setting.
Thanks
When you receive a text, swipe to the right until you see reply, then if the speech request comes up, tap the screen again to get the quick reply options.
Pull down from the main clock screen and you'll see the mute/unmute. You're probably muted. Muted in this device's case means vibrate/don't vibrate (there's no speaker).
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I tried it, and when I get to the speech request, there don't seem to be any other pages. I swipe all directions, and all I can do is go back. Do I need to configure it somewhere?
You say you're swiping in all directions. Just tap in the center. So to sum it up:
Recieve text message
Swipe to the left to read it
Swipe again to the left to Reply, then tap
When speech req box comes up, tap, and that should bring up the canned reply menu

Thanks for sticking with me. I admit to being daft. Unless you're having a laugh on me, I just can't see it. When I get a text, I open it, tap "reply", get the voice dictation screen, and...nothing. I swipe, tap, double tap, nothing opens any submenu and I never see any canned replies. Any idea what I'm missing??
I'm using an S5, if that matters...
EDIT: It must have something to do with the type of messaging app. The stock Samsung app acts weird; this one just lets you hit "reply", then it sends a blank text. Handsent SMS doesn't even give you a reply option. Textra allows you to reply and pops up the voice reply app. If there an app that has the canned responses? Or is it just a flat spot for Samsung?
My experiences:
~Stock messaging app on my Nexus 4: swipe left, no reply feature on watch, only "open on phone"
~Go SMS Pro: swipe left, no reply feature on watch...which is weird because it used to have it...I swear it did...
~Messenger (from Google): swipe left (shows full conversation thread), swipe left again, tap reply, start speaking when it shows "speak now"
So it would appear that different apps do function differently on the watch.
Ah, yes, it does depend on the app you're using. I'm using Google Hangouts.
Note- Google Hangouts, not Messenger.
So, for anyone that cares, your mileage will vary GREATLY depending on what messaging app you use. It's a little disappointing that a relatively "dumber" device like the Fit (which I bought for $79) works like a champ with replying to texts, and the "smart" watch is a little dumb with such a basic feature. I will give Hangouts a try, although I am not crazy about the looks of the UI.
Thanks guys, and if there are others apps that work well with SMS, please let me know.
When you go to reply screen with Google screen, swipe up to reveal canned texts.
Works with hangouts and messenger

Be that as it may, and I'm sure it is, it still stinks.
So, if you're looking, the canned texts works with Hangouts and Messenger ONLY that I've found. Have you guys found a way to add custom canned text?

Sure. I just felt the distinction was important, as software issues get fixed or features added. Device design flaws don't.
There's an app called wear canned responses .. But your phone need to be rooted.. It uses xposed... Also xposed doesn't work on lollipop

Has anyone found any other apps that allow a text response OTHER than Hangouts?
