I am having a strange issue. When I get a SMS/Text while on a call the system plays the whole text out using text-to-speech, making it impossible to hear the person I am on the phone with. This doesn't happen when I am not on the phone.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
edit: looks like something is forcing the "driving" mode (I think). when I change the speech engine, the voice changes...

Do you have the option for the call disconnect tone? The galaxy s user manual indicated that it should be there and yet I don't see it. I have had a few instances where I have been talking to myself after a dropped call and I'd rather not continue this behavior...
Nope, definitely not there for me. Would be nice to have it added somehow, or replace Call/Contacts app entirely with the stock AOSP one.
Got a link to this any information at all (developer as well as non-developer) on the stock AOSP one? I intensely dislike the touchwiz phone app.
I badly miss this feature. With all the mordern noice cancelation you frequently don't hear background noise, so when call ends unexpectedly you may not realize it. Very annoying. Please let me know if you've found an alternative solution for end of call tone
i was wondering if anyone knew any good TTS services to make some notification sounds? not sure if there is an app that does it but i like to hear the phone say what i am getting vs a random sound clip (music/sound effects) and just use a mp3/wav/ogg of the item to play. say "MESSAGE" for incomming messages, "GMAIL" for incoming gmail. just examples. some i found online sound like total robots. i know there is apps but ive never tried any so im wondering if anyone knows how i can basically generate my own. a total bonus would be to make it sound like the original DROID robot sound effect for more things like gmail, messages, talk, voice,etc...
Hi guys,
I'm looking for an app that say the name of the person that is calling me
I've tried different app but they doesn't work fine on ICS
In case you use Tasker, you can set up something like this in 2 minutes. You just have to tell it to say aloud the caller's name when someone calls you. Might have to do some fine tuning, like lowering the ringtone volume and such.
are you talking about this?

thanks
Yes, it's an extremely useful automatic app. Well worth it's money, it has a lot tons of uses. It has a trial so you might want to try that before buying it.
I bought Enhanced SMS & Caller ID from the market and it works great. It also reads out SMS' without the need for data or wifi connection.
I use it with IVONA Text-to-Speech (Free) on ICS.
hey, I have a quick question for you guys. I have two accounts set up on my gmail. For notifications I put the hangouts message sound for both accounts. Its really weird but after a day or two I noticed not hearing any sound when I get an email. I go into settings and under sound it gives me a random number. for example under sound it would say "3650". I switch them both back to the hangouts message sound. Then after another day or two it goes back to silent and gives another random number under sound. does anyone know whats wrong? has anyone ever had this happened?
must be something wrong with the hangouts app. have you tried assigning a different sound? one that was included with the device?
why would the hangouts app have anything to do with it? im just using the sound. I have not tried any other sound though.

its possible the hangouts sound is being sent to the phone from the play store so it could be getting changed because of the hangouts app being in control of the sound you are selecting. he was just saying that might be an option so you might try changing it to another sound to see if it continues. if it doesn't then something must be happening with hangouts. it might make sense that google changes the hangouts sound on its end and then "ports" it to the phone so they could change the hangouts sound whenever it wants.
The extra beeping is like a door opening sound at a corner store, two quadruple beeps of the same tone played at the same time as the tone I set. I can remove the one I set but not the beeps (unless i silence). It was working fine until I installed some work software to receive work e-mails securely. Can't see how that would mess things up, but even so I should be able to change the beeping tone somehow. I have gone through the settings in the message app (3 dot), notification tone option removes my tone not the beeps same as through settings the normal way. Thanks for the help.
I just got my phone, and I'm having the same issue...
I get the sms notification sound I had set, and I get the additional beeping (to me it sounds like a fire alarm).
I've tried other sms apps (Textra ans Signal) and it's the same issue with them as well.
Have you or anyone else a solution to this?
For anyone having the same issue, I fixed it with a factory reset, and I didn't import any old settings. When I first set up my phone I imported stuff from my google cloud sync, and that might have caused the issue. When I imported my previous settings, it also installed all my old apps, so one of those apps could have caused the issue as well. If I find the culprit of this bug, I will post a followup here for anyone who also might experience it.
i got my p20 pro yesterday and have it update but dont have this problem
I had this issue. I disabled private space and it was solved. It maybe had to do with the private space counterpart of the Messages app getting a duplicate notification for SMS. You could try disabling/silencing it if you don't want to disable private space completely. Hope this helps.
