GPS/Navigation Voice - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Recently i updated to ICS OTA on my note and i noticed the voice changed from a girl's voice to a guy's voice when running the navigation app. the guy's voice is lower pitched and a bit harder for me to hear over my sound system in my car.
Basically, does anyone know how i can change back to the girl's voice? i know its not completely gone because occasionally the girl's voice occasionally leaks through now and then.

I want to know how to change it to Benders voice. PM me if you know how.

In your text-to-speech settings, use Google Text-to-speech Engine and set the language to English (United States)

setting - language & input - Language - set it to English US
setting - language & input - voice recognition - set it google
setting - language & input - text to speech output - google text to speech engine setting - language - select English US
You can now set pitch from setting - language & input - text to speech output -speech rate
Now it will be female voice. with your desired pitch.

Need Help for T9 and Text input settings

Hello,
I installed the english Test Rom with the Bluetooth stereo function on my VPA compact II. After changing the keybaord layout to german here my next problem. In the german version Rom, the input of text begins with a big letter like B in english it is b - the T9 words are in english...
What must i do to change this things - german T9 and big letters at the beginning of sentences?
I hope anyone can help me...
Thank you so much advance
T9 language:
Start > Settings > Input*
Input method: Phone Pad
[Options...]*
|Languages|
Database: German
Capitalization of first letter of sentence:
Starts > Settings > Input* > |Options| > [ ] Capitalize first letter of sentence
Hello,
thnaks fpr your answer - but this tipps don´t work.
I go the the settings menu and macke the changes - softreset an when i got to input settings again, the menu is keyboard (the keyboard is out and in use) and there are only standing english words. When i go to settings and phone pad there is standing german - but i input the SMS with the keyboard, not with the phone pad.
Can i do something else to get the words in german?
Ah, well - that's not really T9 then is it? Are you talking about the word completion/replacement feature?
If so, try reading through all of this:
http://pocketpcmag.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=18262
Or buy a third party keyboard that has the language of desire:
http://www.pdamill.com/prod_tk.shtml
Or just disable word completion / word replacement (especially the latter is annoying).
Good luck
P.S. I tried topkey a few days back when I tried about 15 SIPs, and I might end up buying topkey, myself because of the full keyboard customization option and sleek looks Only $10 - might save you a lot of hassle with those dictionary files.

thanks a lot
deiota
Hey! Me to! Where can we get the Portuguese dictionary?

if you don't have google voice installed you might just want to hold all your keyboard key one by one and see if there a settings thingy show up

1. is there a way to change blue color of battery and everything else that goes blue to pink/magenta?
2. How can i make "home screen" to rotate to landscape mode?
3. How can i have czech qwerty keyboard or US keyboard with suggestions in czech language?
4. Is it possible to have multiple speech inputs? Czech and english and switch between them? So i can search play store for real racing ie.
5. Is there a way to stop wifi networks from jumping in list? When i go to pub and want to connect to its wifi in keeps switching positions with other networks and it is quite annoying a uncomfortable for me.
1-2 - > i dont think you can do this on stock rom... You'll have to root and find a custom rom that support this

1 - Cannot be done on stock rom.
2 - The only way to do this on stock is to either use : UltimateRotation
Or
Use a Launcher like ApexLaunher or NovaLauncher
3 - I would get an App called : SwiftKey - You can have multiple languages at once, and it supports the most languages I have ever seen in a keyboard. (The link is to the free one, there is a paid version)
4 - Again the multiple speach can be done in SwiftKey, including dictator multiple speach along with the multi-language keyboards.
5 - Not a clue
Hope this helps.
1 is about the theme, I would be surprised you can't do this on the stock ROM once rooted but you have to find where this setting is (or in a config file, or in an apk, something like that). And gooood luck for this, probably that a themer would know.
For the language things, maybe you could create your combination in the advanced settings -> personalized style? Not sure your language is there though... If not, I was using ICS keyboard from the market that supports many languages and there is now a JB version, maybe worth a try.
About the WiFi, you can enter the network's infos manually by clicking on the + in the WiFi config. Not exactly the answer you wanted but a workaround...
My two cents that will hopefully be helpful.
Sent from my Nexus 7 still stock but not for long!
Pretty much everything been answered. I would really vouch for SwiftKey as well, I'm using it for dual languages as well and it picks them up nicely without having to even press a button to switch them like with swype for instance. But I guess if you want a different keyboard for Czech you'd have to switch that tho.
Regarding the wifi, I do believe that once you've remembered a network it will stay at the top...
Is there some way to send suggestion about keyboard to google? I would like to use OOB keyboard. And many people in CZ are used to qwerty.
EDIT: found it in language and input > advanced settings > custom input styles - so probably what johnride meant
Also you cen heve two voice inputs by default - just clik on language when using voice input. Tough i found out my english is really crap for voice recognition.
Still i would like to send suggestions to google about the wifi list, as hitting the right network is not so easy when it is changing under you fingers constantly
Yeah that's what I meant... I am on a french system and I translated wrong sorry!

S-voice how to add language?

Hy,
I would like to add language to S-voice but i can't is there a method?
thanks
There is a workaround out there. Still, there is no app basically capable to do this at this very moment. Google is working on adding more voice pack languages (already added 13 - check THIS ).
Steps to follow:
1. get THIS and install;
2. check the setting within SETTINGS / CONTROLS / Language and input - "Google voice typing" (will be automatic) and leave keyboard as default samsung;
3. Into SETTINGS / CONTROLS / Language and input: search for "Voice Search" and select from the TOP menu your language / languages (can be more than 1);
4. Still on the menu from previous point: SPEECH / Voice recognizer- set "basic google recognition"
Hope will do the job.

Words underlines in red since update to lollipop

Since I updated to lollipop, every word I type that isn't typed in English is underlined in red. This is really annoying since I usually type in Dutch. My phone language is English though. Is there an easy solution for this problem? Can I switch this feature off in some way?
Same problem

Hey, I registered just to give you an answer. I have the same exact problem, only I don't type usually in Dutch but in Serbian. My phone language is also English. I'm on Lollipop, I9505.
I found out a way to stop this spell check, and it's only possible, as it seems to me, to change your phone language. I've changed it from English to Serbian, even though I don't like it that way, and underlining has stopped. I thought that it would start to underline English typed words, but it didn't. So, if you consider that an easy and acceptable solution, there you go. I'm still looking for a way to use my phone in English and type in Serbian without that red underlining, just like I used to do before on KitKat. It doesn't make sense to have to change phone language when this is a problem that is related to keyboard settings. If someone knows how to fix this without changing phone language I'd love to know a way to do that.
Hi!
I have the very same problem as I speak with my friends in 4 different languages. After a lot of search I found the solution to completely disable the red underlining: selecting "Alphabet" (QUERTY) as your keyboard language, as I describe below:
1 Download the "Google Keyboard" app from the google Play
2 Go to keyboard settings - in lollypop it is under Settings > My device > Language and Input
3 Enter into "Google Keyboard" to show the google keyboard settings, and then go into "Languages"
4 Disable "Use system language" and ONLY enable "Alphabet (QUERTY)" from the list of languages (you will probably find it between Afrikaans and Arabic)
5 Go back again to Settings > My device > Language and Input, enter "Default" and select "Alphabet (QWERTY)" as default
Voilà!

Hey, thanks! That is a fine solution, but only if I wish to use Google keyboard without predictive text and auto replace options since they are gone when selecting "Alphabet (QWERTY)".
I'm quite used to Samsung keyboard and I like having text prediction and auto replace, so I'm still looking for a solution in terms of switching off that annoying spell check but with using Samsung keyboard. :fingers-crossed:
If anyone's still looking for a fix, there's a way - just do the factory reset and the red underlining will be gone. I just did.
