Theres a multicolor widget on TW4 that has 3 buttons on one of the screens. They relate to Text to speach while driving, sounds like one of them is on. Hope this helps

It's the driving mode, should be the car icon. Make sure it's off.

If you open Voice Talk, you can uncheck Driving Mode, that will turn off the voice for new notifications.

Lol this happened to me to when I first got this phone.

Even if car mode is off, and "driving mode" is still on in Voice Talk, you will still hear the Siri-esque voice. You have to disable "Driving Mode" from within "Voice Talk" to get her to shut up.
BTW, you can change what she greets you with when you say "Hi Galaxy" in the program settings. Mine says, "What the hell do you want now, John"

It's the rom that your using. The voice is Linda I think.

That's one thing I thought it sounded like. I stripped some of the Linda sounds from my Vibrant and brought them over to my GS2. I missed them.

I can't stand that voice and all of the texts and plug in sounds. Talk about wanting attention... Lol

Vibrate when call connects

Is there a way to get the phone to vibrate when dialed number connects.
Right now it plays a tune, so it knows its connected, however can that be tied to vibrate as well?
My old phone did this, and its great to not have to hold the phone to your ear if the connection takes a long time to get through.
if you flash the cm7 Rom it has that option. i dont think any of the others do though.
I use Go Contacts, which comes with Go Dialer , and it has that option ...
Stock dialer does this, settings, call, call alert, answer vibration

If you have root then search "vibralert" in the market.
Top app with lots of options.

[Q] answering calls

hey guys i've been having my sprint galaxy nexus for a few weeks now and i think this just recently started happening.
but when i get a call and i answer it the phone will say to accept the call press 1 to send to voice mail press 2...
can i turn this "feature" off?
dont really like having to pull up the dial pad every time i get a call.
Sounds like you are recieving a Google Voice call.
is that what it is
i thought maybe it was. i guess thats when it started happening. i logged off google voice and it still does it.
Yep google voice call. You need to disable call screening in the settings of the browser site.

I have to press 1 to accept a call?

I'm using the latest aokp ROM and every time I get a call, I swipe to the right to accept it but then I get a prompt sing press 1 to accept or press 2 to send to voice mail. How the hell do I get rid of the prompt and go straight to accepting the call. If I wanted it to go to voice mail I would just reject the call in the first place

It sounds like google voice. Go to your settings on your pc and disable it.

This. Go to http://google.com/voice and disable Sprint cell phone number integration.

Are you talking about a sleep mode?

No. I want my phone to wake up instead of going to sleep actually when I receive a text message.I was looking into sms pop-up and iPhone notifications. I just don't want to have to turn the phone on myself every time I get a text message
You would need a third party messenger app like handcent or Go SMS. I personally use handcent since my og Evo days. Pretty satisfied.

check out an app called "no led" found here...https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.led.notify&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5sZWQubm90aWZ5Il0.
edit: my bad, try go sms... it has a pop up feature

how to turn off "voice command" for the alarm?

hey guys, since the jelly bean update, Tmo has removed the "voice command" option in settings so I have no idea how to turn this off in the Alarm app. (like when you say "stop", the alarm goes off) I need to turn this off since every morning I don't realize I shout "stop" in my sleep , thus I don't even hear the alarm sound at all.
The only way for me was to do a factory reset. Factory reset also fixed my battery life on jb (still not as good as ics)

The voice command is now located in the S Voice app under the s voice settings.

Same here. I never used Svoice even once.
I had to accept their stupid terms just to turn off the oh so annoying feature where the phone will auto answer calls I don't want answered due to background noise...not even words let alone the word answer.
I'll miss the voice commands for the camera app though.
Why can't they be chosen separately??
