I have a Samsung Galaxy Note8 Android9
I know this an old model but I need some help please,
I don't know how to get Google home app/search to beep when I tap the microphone.
It used to do it but now it doesn't anymore after I reset app preferences and other settings as I was trying to trouble shoot my phone on a different issue.
I have already tried looking for switch access in accessibility settings, there is nothing there.
Where am I supposed to go to enable the beep confirmation? It is stuck on vibrate and doesn't beep.

Hello, this is my first post, but I've been checking out this site for awhile now.
I've been having trouble with my samsung captivate. Somehow when I left my phone charging overnight something went wrong and now my phone is stuck in silent mode. This is what I mean:
When I hold the power button and it says Silent Mode is ON:
I go to my sound settings and it says Silent Mode is OFF.
I do not get any sound
When I hold the power button and it says Silent Mode OFF
I go to my sound seetings and it says Silent Mode is ON
I do not get any sound even if I put the volume up to the highest setting
Things I've tried:
Hard Reset
Loading a new ROM (the newest Cognition)
3rd Party Sound App
None of these worked, so please help me if you've encountered this problem before/know what to do. I DO get sound with headphone and I can get it to vibrate, but I would like to get this fixed asap.
Thank you
anyone know about this?

That was the first thing I tried (as stated in my post). That way and through settings.
I think its hardware related. They are going to send a new one. New questions though..
I reset with Odin. Would ATT notice that it previously was rooted? (aka is my warranty still valid)
So I've searched all over to try and figure this one out, but there's a lot of similar issues and none that I could find that are the same thing. The description might end up long because I want to be absolutely clear about what's happening (since there were a lot of really similar issues I found when I searched).
I have a Motorola Droid running CM 7 (.0.3, i think), but the problem was also there on the last version of CM I was running (6.something, probably). The first time I wiped and installed CM7 the problem seemed to be solved, but I screwed up the account setup and on the 2nd install the problem was back.
ANYWAY, the actual problem is this:
My phone's sound will NOT turn off. I can turn it all the way down with the volume rocker, and it will show the Vibrate icon, but the volume bar will not go down that last little bit. It does not vibrate. It does not go to silent. If I turn off sound from the lock screen, it doesn't do anything except show a vibrate icon at the top. The volume level remains the same. Same goes for the sound toggle on the home screen menu. It just doesn't do anything except change the icon to vibrate, silent, whatever.
The only way I can get it to go to silent/vibrate is through the Sound menu in settings. Even then, I can't just check the Silent Mode box, I have to go to the volume dialog box and manually drag it all the way to zero. Then, if I hit volume up on the rocker or turn the sound up in any other way, I have to go back to Settings to change it again.
I'm going crazy trying to solve this. I've wiped my phone. It doesn't seem like a hardware issue since everything is working except the switch to vibrate/silent from sound-on mode. I've tried everything I can think of. I've had the phone for almost 2 years now, and I'm generally good at fixing this type of thing, or at least finding the answer on Google. Has anyone had this issue?

A good way to try and debug the issue would be to install Widgetsoid 2.x(https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jim2&feature=search_result) and place a switcher on your homescreen with the different sound options such as silent and vibrate. Then, toggle those switches and see if your status bar icon changes, and if the phone is actually in vibrate or silent mode.
If that doesn't work then I would suggest to try another ROM, or perhaps it's a hardware issue.
Thanks, I'll try that and let you know the results.
Go to Settings -> CyanogenMod Settings -> Sound -> Silent State (check)
Dear PDA experts, please help me!!
since a couple of days I am having a VERY annoying problem with my HTC Diamond. This occurs when I am using the original hands-free. It looks like the cable is losing contact or making an incorrect contact...
So, when using the hands-free, the phone starts dialing the last dialed number by itself. When I am listening to music, the music stops and I am hearing how the phone is dialing. This usually happens, when I make the move to put my phone in my pocket. Also, when I speak with someone, the phone automatically puts him on hold, which is even more annoying for the other party! The problem persists even when I switch off the phone module, it still tries dialing!
I had tried many times to get rid of the voice dialer (sddialer.exe), but I cannot delete or rename the file even when I connect the Diamond to a PC. Finally I have disabled it from the registry and it still starts dialing when I make the move to stick it into my pocket!
And I dont have the impression, that the cable is somehow defective, as when I am listening to music, it does not break up. And it always does, when there is a problem with the cable, unfortunately I have a lot of experience with defective hand-frees. Please please help me!! It is not worthy to buy a new handsfree for such an old phone... Is there a way to disable all the buttons of the hands-free, it is the last possible solution I can think of...?
Use the lock screens
My Diamond did that too.
There are several lock screen capabilities that you can enable under settings. More important if you added a custom Rom they usually have a few different options.
With the custom Rom I was running, I could make a call and after pushing the power button, it would lock the phone when on the line with someone. This would happen if you hit any button after the power button was pressed (which usually turns off the screen).
Hope that helps.
Hey guys, Im manager for a cell phone provider, have a galaxy gear demo on my sales floor hooked up to a Note 3. We had some jerk customer set a Pattern-Lock on our Galaxy Gear and take off. Now we cant unlock it or really use it. Does anyone know if there's a way to master reset this thing or how to get around this. I've searched and searched online but no luck.
Thanks for you guys time!

Hold your finger on the power button untill you see the galaxy gear logo with "Restarting.." text at the bottom.
On this screen continuously press the power button until you boot into the "recovery screen", you will be presented with a blackscreen with blue text.
On this screen press the power button to navigate the options, highlight the "Recovery" option, while on this option hold the power button for 5 seconds to enter recovery mode.
This will restore the gear to factory defaults.
*NOTE* The video is demonstrating how to get into DOWNLOAD mode, you want to select RECOVERY.
On my Verizon Galaxy S6 edge, after updating to marshmallow I later got a notification to be able to change different settings based on where I am. I experimented with it and set my phone to automatically turn wifi off, put phone on vibrate, and go into power saving mode when I get to work. I also set it up to turn the ring on and exit power saving mode when I get home. I forgot to set wifi to turn on and have tried unsuccessfully to find the settings for this feature. It's getting annoying and I have no idea how to turn it off. I'm a fairly advanced user of android and have had several rooted phones with custom ROMs in the past, but I'm stumped at this. I've looked through both phone and Google settings with no luck. I also can't find any info on the Web when I search. Has anyone else had this notification pop up and does anyone know where I can go back to adjust the settings?
Widgets?
This same issue has been driving me mad ever since I upgraded to Marshmallow. I was presented with a seemingly useful feature to enable (or disable) features based upon my location - I chose to disable Bluetooth when at home, as I never use it there, right? Wrong! Turns out I use it more than I thought and it's incredibly frustrating when it keeps disabling itself at will!
Anyway, after much annoyance and weeks of trawling through every conceivable phone setting and Google option I finally stumbled upon the solution...in widgets!
Touch and hold any blank area on your home screen, select widgets and look for 'my places'. In there you will be able to find every single option that you wish to undo
