Using voice to answer/ reject calls? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

It's got to be in here some place but I cannot find the setting to turn on voice answering or rejecting of incoming calls. All my previous Galaxy phones this was my favorite feature. Did they leave it out? Please tell me that isn't so

I've never used this but I'd be interested in using it while connected to my car.

I loved that feature as well and I believe that functionality was enabled by Google Assistant; but since Samsung switched to Bixby they neglected to put that feature back in

why the hell do they remove useful functions for garbage??

A little help please.

I've been trying to figure it out and I didn't want to resort to creating a new thread but I need help. This may sound silly but how can you turn off the voice when somebody calls or text. I don't like it when they say the name of whose calling or texting. Its killing me that I can't figure it out so any help is appreciated. THANKS!

I think you have driving mode enabled. Turn it off in voice talk application.

It should work by default, maybe check to see if you have internet calling enabled... if you do then you would be using a data connection for your calls, if you get a call come through while during a data connection there is a setting to send it to voicemail... I don't know if that helps at all but other than that I am at a loss as well.

[Q] auto call recorders

has anyone found a /working/ call recorder that records both sides?
my old favourite wont work I dont know if its because I am on the perseus kernal etc or its a samsung/hw thing
I use the app "Record my call" and if you use the handset, then it will record both sides of the call. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a solution for recording both sides while using a bluetooth headset.

Install Xposed framework. Then install the call recording mod by Pulser. It's the easiest way to have an efficient call recorder imo.

Xposed call recording isn't automatic.

Automatic? What's that? Recording starts automatically? Hell no!

Even calls aren't automatic. You still have to press at least one button somewhere. Where was automatic a requirement by OP?

Yes. Auto recording is very handy if you handle a lot of incoming calls and aren't prepared to remember to press the record button.

Okay, let's take this one step further.
Calls must be recorded automatically, then uploaded to the cloud automatically (or on a schedule).
I use Tasker to record my calls to seperate folders. One for incoming, one for outgoing.
I like the "backup to gmail" app that sends my SMSs, MMSs and Call Logs to Gmail automatically. Pity I can't get my calls uploaded the same way. Ideas?
I have Dropbox and FolderSync installed, but I haven't played enough to see if this is an easy solution.
Then you guys must be involved in a profession which requires auto call recording! I for myself would never install anything which will record calls automatically.

I use foldersync to backup my recordings once a night to both Sugarsync and Dropbox. You could set foldersync up to upload instantly, but I hesitate to use that feature or of feat that it will impact my battery life.

No. Have you never dealt with a supplier that tells you one thing before you have paid, and then another thing after you have paid? Lucky you....
I am using my recordings more and more these days. It's like owning a cell phone - you don't know how you coped before you had it!

Call recording has been an amazing tool for me in many areas:
- I can record calls with my nurse/doctor and have all the important details regarding mess or schedules handy. I'm part of a drug trial and not only does this help with confirming details, but since the drugs have had a negative effect on my concentration and focus, it helps me catch mistakes that I have may have made in the call or while taking notes.
- it's a great tool when on tech support calls. ESPECIALLY when companies like Asus try to **** you around.
- helps to avoid billing problems later down the road when your utility/cell phone/cable provider gives you a hard time about a previous call or when they "don't have a record" of a prior call to them about a credit that might have been due.
- I take customer orders over the phone and its easier to record and note after the call than while the customer is ringing off product codes. LOL
- I've had a few calls which would have been difficult to jot notes from while speaking, so call recording is always handy.
Bonus... If you're ever in a he-said-she-said moment, recalling the recorded conversation can make all the difference in the world in ending the debate
Whoa, lots of points, nice. Some of them I used to face too, like the he said she said thingy. Asus? Lol, even in Canada they are creating problems? Jeez! I'm glad that I'm ditching them gradually...

Answering calls on AT&T w/Google Voice

My GF has an AT&T GS3, and is having fits answering calls thru Google Voice. When a call comes in, the phone says the call is from an unknown number and makes her open keyboard and choose to accept the call, and often calls get missed. My I-9300 does not do this, so I figure it is something AT&T has tweaked on phone.
Has anyone else had ths problem? I have looked through everything, and can't find a way to remove the additional step in answering calls.
Thanks!

Log in to Google voice on a pc. In options, uncheck the call screen option. Fixed.
