Reading selected text - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my iphone i could select some text (on a website, sms, etc) and have it read it back to me. Can this be done on my note 5? I cant seem to find any option or setting anywhere for it.
Anyone know how to do this?

Some of New Google now features require "gmail cards enabled" and i'm not sure but 4.1.2 doesn't have that option or have I not looked in the right place....

Go to the play store and update, then check your Google now settings, the Gmail options should be there..at least it was for me.

Is the new Google Now just an app update available from Play Store, or is it an actual device update via OTA? I'm on Ubuntu atm
It's an app update.
I can't get the package delivery card to populate. I have it enabled in Google Now and have even forwarded the shipment email with tracking to my email address but it doesn't show up.
Anyone have any luck?
It showed up for me, it's got links to the email AND to directly track the package. All I did was enable it in settings. I don't know why is not working for you.

[Q] Is it possible to text internationally for free over wifi

The title says it all. I have friends in Germany and UK. Searched for a while for an app that allows me to use wifi to text them. Is there a such thing? Thanks!
Try Google Hangouts

Whatsapp?

[Q]text to speech ?

Just curious, I'm looking all over for an app that will read my texts to me while I'm driving and allow me to respond via voice. I see there are tons that send automated messages that I'm driving, but none that will actually read the message and allow me to respond without picking up my phone and looking away from the road. Coming from windows phone to nexus family, this is the only drawback i could find. Any suggestions?
If there's already a post with this can someone send me a link please.

Try Enhanced Sms and Caller ID available in Play Store.

Agent do not disturb. Been using it since I switched from moto x to nexus 6. It needs to be configured initially but works great. Even has a widget to manually turn on so you can use it while not driving.
Thanks, gonna try agent for a few days, as it's free and I don't need everything that's on enhanced.

You can use tasker and the auto voice plugin to perform this and much more! Tasker is a full automation app that has endless possibilities

[Q] pic and link issue with tapatalk and xda

OK, so I noticed yesterday that I cannot upload any pic through the xda or tapatalk apps. I found out today that my links are not showing in the apps either. Here is 3 pics of the same post, one from tapatalk, one from xda, and the other from chrome. This is really annoying. I did have adaway installed, but removed it. I did revert back to the stock hosts file in adaway before removing it, I even reinstalled it, updated, removed it, and checked my hosts file before uninstalling it.
Anyone have any clue?
Bump......

I had the same issue. I have tapatalk pro and it was crashing adding pictures. Downloaded the free version and it works for pix.
Hmmmmmmmm. I hate this layout!!! But it seems to work. Wonder why?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
I'm not sure why it works, but I found it when my pro version notified me of an update(?) to Tapatalk.
Have you tried to go back to an older version? I didn't know there was an update. Must have happened when I got the phone.

I did 2 things.... although I think It was the second that fixed it.
I froze the gallery. I use snap gallery anyway, but that choice was not coming up to upload a pic.
The second thing I did was, when you first open tapatalk, go to settings... towards the bottom, yummy will see enable editor checked. Unchecked this. Then try to upload a pic.

That I had already unchecked. I'm just using the free version for now.

That was my issue. Once I saw that and remove it, it started working for attachments only.

Car mode

Does anyone have car mode on their note?
I cant find it on mine. Checked in the status bar options and also all through the settings with no luck.
I heard that aome carrier versions do not have it. Im wondering if im in that boat (i purchased mine on a plan through Telstra). Mine seems to be a standard version though as there is no physical carrier branding on the phone, only incthe software when it boots up.
Im really surprised and disappointed that with todays techniology, i have a phone that cant assist me with the likes of reading back emails, sms, etc and all thst handsfree stuff while driving.
Please tell me theres a way i can add this function. If need bw im happy to install a different firmware that had this included.

I think it is a carrier thing, not sure though. You can Google Samsung Car Mode and there is an XDA member who uploaded one that works on the SM-N920I version.
Legendary! Found, installed, abd now one safe happy driver. Thank you!
Im going to have a look and see if i can install the stock standard OS without the carrier restrictions and apps. Seems silly to remove such a useful tool. Hate to know what else im missing

You can get it from galaxy apps.
Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk
i have it, experiencing a lot if little issues, also needs to be more customizable....
Originally it wouldn't show up in the galaxy app store. A week ago it did. Downloaded it and have some issues with it so I have removed it for now. After using it Google voice won't hear me and also have issues with using a Bluetooth headset with it.
