What is Driving mode for? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

On the stock rom there is a driving mode option on the quick toggle settings. Does anyone know what it does or what it is for?

It will read notifications to you, like who the call is from, or who the text is from. I find it irritating.

Please don't turn it on.
It is very, very annoying.

I like it. Except it shut off after plugging/unplugging the phone.

Is there a permanent or automated fix for the 50%+ TWS bug?

Sorry if this has already been posted, but I can't find a straight answer with a search, only mentions of there being a fix.
Thanks in advance.

I'm on Bonsai 3.01 and it seems to be random whether it clears or not. I did notice if I hear the 3G beep after I boot then TWS stays near 0% and if I don't hear it after boot I get 50% so when I don't hear it I do the airplane mode toggle.
You have to cycle airplane mode after each boot. I use tasker to do it automaticaly but its a paid app, well worth it for all you can do with it tho.

Is there another app that can auto toggle airplane mode? I don't want to buy a $6.45 app when I only want that one specific function.

Not sure but tasker can do a lot more. For example when I get in my car it shuts down my Wifi turns on my gps and prompts me to select which music app I want to listen to.

I'm reading the description and don't see whether it's automated or not. Can you set it to flip at boot? There are tons of manual toggle widgets and that's not what I want.
If your running a custom rom couldn't you create a shell script to run from init.d ?

Screen turn on when receive text?

I am just wondering how to turn this feature off. Thanks.

bump, anyone know?
I've checked all the settings and as far as I can tell you can't change this. . I'm guessing this is something that devs can add as customization on their roms.
It only lasts about 5 seconds each time so it hasn't been much of a concern to me. But if someone finds a way I'll take it

The only way I know to make it go away is to use a different messaging app, such as handcent.

The only way i know of is to completely turn off notifications but i dont think you wanna constantly be checking your phone.

Vibration for notifications

I searched and could not find anything regarding changing the vibration pattern for an all stock note 2. Mine will only vibrate in a single long pattern, no matter what I set it to in the settings. I like to use the stock messaging because it's compatibility with the lock screen but I'd really like it to vibrate in a couple short pulses instead of that single long one. If I'm missing something I apologize but I have no idea what to change aside from the options in the settings menu. Any help or other information would be much appreciated, I'm sure it's something silly I'm missing anyway!
Go to settings- sounds-device vibration u can chabge it to a few different patterns

Same problem for me, and it's super frustrating. Is this specific to the AT&T version I wonder??

I am not sure! That is how the note 1 default notification vibrate was, the single long pulse. The sms mms one was a quick twin pulse, I'd prefer that! I like how the sms app works with the tw lock screen and launcher etc so I don't want to use another one if I can avoid it. I wish it would allow me to use a different vibration setting because my phone is silent a lot! I asked samsung and they gave me the ringtone answer. The service from the online chat is weak.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. I downloaded the app and tried to set it up but it wanted to stop air view in the process. A related application was there

Which worked perfectly. Thanks foe the heads up, much appreciated.

You can install LightFlow (or another LED manager) to manage your LED Notifications.

First make sure you have the led turned on...its in the settings. Light flow will work but you have to disable talkback (its an Android problem not an LG issue) question.. does your led light up when you turn the phone on? ..when your phone is off turn it on if it lights up all the colors then its working if not then maybe a hardware issue.

I have the led turned on. When you say disable it you mean have the toggle to off correct? Yup, it goes through all the colors when booting up.

So anyone get lightflow to work? Doesn't seem to work for me.

Working for me. Did you enable it in accessibility settings and enable notifications for the individual apps you want notifications for (via Lightflow)?
I didn't try it with your AOSP Messaging app, yet. I wasn't even getting status bar notifications, though.

In your Accessibility Settings disable TalkBack and make sure Light Flow is enabled. Hopefully that straightens things out.

You need to actually go in to the main settings, General, apps, select talkback, force stop, and then disable it (you may need to uninstall updates first). I had the same problem a little while ago. Does it only say the letters using the LG keyboard? Mine didn't do it for other keyboards.
Also, if you use tasker at all, it can successfully control the led colors. If you want to play with it, you can assign different colors for specific notifications. I haven't done so yet for the ogp, but I made an app for the lgog (only one color for that led though). Also, if you look up something called "buttonled" by germainz here on xda, he has made a tasker profile and app that might work for you too.

I did a factory reset and went in and disabled talk back. Led works now with lightflow. Only thing that bothers me is when I test the new color, it'll blink new color then a different color then back to assigned color. That normal for this phone? Thanks for the help by the way.

Alarms only priority mode when making phone calls?

Hi,
Just noticed that my phone changes to Alarms only mode when making phone calls (changes back when call ends). Can anyone else confirm this? Thanks

Thanks! Kind of funny how it does that. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't caused by any of my apps. I'm using one called Tiles that lets you add a ringer mode tile and I thought it might be doing something funny.

Yeah noticed this right away... That and I can't tether anymore w/ the new update using Signal Refresh.
