I use a bluetooth headset when I drive. I am having some issues with s-voice when using the bluetooth device.
1) S-voice has voice prompts which are essential when driving since I do not want to look at the phone. I find that the voice prompts periodically shut off. This despite the fact that I did not press the icon to shut the voice prompts off and the icon indicates that the voice prompts are still on. In fact toogling the icon will not turn this back on. The only way to get it working again is to exit S-voice and reenter it. But this happens when I am driving and I cannot fool with the phone at that time.
2) There is a mode called driving mode but I have no idea what this does. It is not explained in the manual.
3) It would be nice if the voice prompts were always on when bluetooth is connected or there was a command to turn them on.
4) without the voice prompts the phone just beeps at me but I have no idea what it is doing without looking at the phone, something I like to avoid doing when driving.
5) actually I do not need all the functionality of S-voice, all I want to an application that would dial the phone. If there was a simpler application that did that reliably and talked to me and did not do all the other stuff that I don't need or care about that would be great. The Blackberry dial application worked well and did not require a network connection to work
So
1) does anyone know an alternative application that would just dial the phone and be activated instead of S-voice
2) Does someone know how to turn on the voice prompts with a verbal command or make it so it never shuts off
3) Does anyone know what the Driving mode does?
Thanks
