do you mean when you ask "s-voice" the answer is not spoken?
try to hit the little face next to the mic, this will activate voice prompt.

Different issue but sort of related, for me the alarm snooze doesn't work. I tell it "snooze" but it keeps going. Maybe it knows I'm still half asleep

Why yes I do....seeing how I was just clearing up what was being discussed as people were confused and how I don't actually use s-voice I figured why turn on the option just for a screen shot.

[Q] Setting to hear notifications while on a call?

Apologies for this simple question, as I have tried searching everywhere.. While on a call, I don't hear when texts come in using the stock messaging app and also Whatsapp.. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

This is a good question as my girlfriend just yelled at me beside I didn't answer or call her back. Didn't hear the call or text while I was on the phone.

Good question.....
Anyone? This is my first Nexus device, so I honestly have no idea..

Why would they put that in the first place? It would interrupt the call, If you want you could just check your notifications afterwards.

Well, every smartphone I've previously used (including the att Galaxy S2) would sound off a notification and that way it was easy to check if the message was important and place the phone on speaker while responding.. Our phones can multitask for a reason..
But it's always been available as an option on my previous phones that could easily be disabled for those who prefer no interruptions.

Lock screen SMS preview

Does anyone know any way to turn this off? Like so many things in Touchwiz it's pretty ugly. If I turn it off in setting for SMS then it still shows up but without the preview.

Weird buzz when tapping phone

im pretty sure its just the vibration mechanism. My s2 and s3 did this too.
Mine does this I believe when I pick the phone when screen is off to let me know I have notifications.

It isn't a vibration, it is more like something is loose inside the phone that makes a buzz when I tap on the screen.
That's just how the phone is built. Like if I smack it against my hand it'll feel like it's kinda vibrating. It's not an issue.

Correct. that is the vibration mechanism you are hearing/feeling.
I think it is kind of weird, but that is what it is.

Happens to me as well, figured it was nothing to worry about.

That's one of the first things I disabled, it's very buggy & runs in the BG all the time.

Vibration

Hi, I just picked up this s4 i337m from Rogers and it seems the vibration is very faint. I'm running cyanogen mod and I increased the vibrate to max and it still isn't like my old s3's. Is there any other ways to fix this?
Sent from my SGH-I337M using xda app-developers app
Anybody? Any other tweaks to increase vibration? I already turned it all the way up in the settings.

To be honest, I downloaded some vibration sounds as suggested by another user.... it sounds like the phone is vibration but it really isn't......
Yeah I'm going to try that. To be honest its not that bad but if I could make it more powerfu so when its in my pocket I could actually feel it more.

I haven't found anything other than adding the vibration sound, it definately isn't the same as the S3, not sure if a different rom would make a difference. I am not rooting for that though... least not yet.
Oh well lol, guess I'll just have to get used to this. Everything else on this phone is flawless!
