Siri talking when I type text and email

The Genius Bar did a reset on my phone in an effort to correct an issue. After the reset (which did not solve my initial issue), Siri started trying to help me type my text and emails by speaking the words I am typing. How do I shut her up without shutting her down? Have had the phone for over a year and this did not happen until after the reset. Thank you for your help.

Never mind. After posting this question, I found the answer in "more like this."

Is there a way to prevent Itunes' volume from lowering when I receive texts and email?

Whenever I have my iphone connected to a speaker, the volume lowers when I receive a text or email. This can be very frustrating and I'm wondering if there is a setting to prevent this from happening. Can anyone help?

Put your phone in silent mode, or enable do not disturb.

HT201328 Siri talks when I type my text!!

Does anyone know why Siri randomly speaks words of my text message while I am typing? Has anyone else had this same issue? Anyone know how to fix it?

To prevent speaking autocorrect suggestions when typing text messages go to Settings>General>Accessibility and under Vision turn Speak Auto-text to Off.

HT204389 How do I teach Siri to spell my name correctly in texts and emails? She spells it Jerry instead of Jeri.

How do I teach Siri to SPELL my name correctly in texts and emails? She knows who I am from My a Info. She insists on spelling my name as he male version instead of female (or my info spellng).

Say:
"No space on. No caps on. s h e r i
No space off. No caps off."
That would start her name with a lower case a.
But you can play around starting there to get it the way you like.

Using Mavericks Spelling and Grammar in Pages document causes Pages to freeze. Must Force Quit. Mavericks spell checker works OK in Text and Emails. How can I fix this problem?

Using Mavericks' Spelling and Grammar in a Pages document causes Pages to freeze, Must Force Quit. How can I fix this problem?
Mavericlks Spelling and Grammar works in Pages when used manually. And it works automatically in Text and email.

Another autocorrect bug:
I type a lot of lyrics, which tend to cotain words like ’cause and ’em instead of because and them.
I've set up autocorrect instances to change a plain apostrophe with an ending, single curly quote for these words, but they are invariably changed to a beginning, single curly quote mark by Pages. The only way I can get the correct curly quote is to type over the wrong quote manually and hope that I don't have to edit the rest of the word again, as this would cause autocorrect to kick in again and change the quote to the wrong, beginning curly mark again.
Does anyone know how to get around this tedious problem?

Text and email sound notifications...........no options?

Incredible2 is my first smart phone so maybe I'm missing something here. Can't I customize the text and email alerts with my own sound or am I stuck with the options that are on the phone? Even with the volume turned up all the way I can't hear any alert unless the phone is out of my pocket and sitting right next to me. Any suggestions?

You can set a custom ringtone for text messages, email, gtalk, gmail, etc. by going into each app, press the menu button and select settings. There will be an option to change the ringtone.
For your own custom ringtones, place the mp3 or audio files in the following on the sd card. The "SD carddrive" is the root of the sd card or drive letter when it is plugged into the computer.
SD carddrive:\media\audio\ringtones
SD carddrive:\media\audio\notifications
SD carddrive:\media\audio\alarms
Once the files are in those folders, the phone will automatically found the files and list them in the ringtone selection list. You might have to reboot the phone to force a rescan of the sd card.

Why can't I set my downloaded .dm ringtones as text and email notifications?

I have an HTC Incredible 2; I paid for and downloaded several ringtones from the Verizon store, two of which I wanted to specifically use as the text and email notification sounds. I then had the already discussed problem of not being able to find the newly downloaded ringtones immediately, but from the postings on here and the Adriod forums, I followed the directions to set up the folders titled Ringtones, Notifications, and Alarms on my sdcard, and moved the downloaded ringtones into their respective folders. When I opened up the Personalize menu, under Sounds I was immediately able to find the ringtones I'd placed in the ringtone folder, but my phone wouldn't recognize the ringtons I'd placed in the Notifications folder.
I downloaded the app Zedge, downloaded specific Notification sounds (.mp3, and they work). I also downloaded .mp3 ringtones and then moved them into the Notifications folders, and THAT worked. The problem seems to be that these are .dm files? Is my phone unable to read .dm files as Notification sounds? Or is there something I missed? Something else I can do?
I looked all over for software that will convert .dm files to .mp3, found a suggestion calling for the deletion of a couple of the lines of code from within the .dm file using Notebook ++, but that didn't work. I don't remember seeing anywhere in the store that these ringtone files come in the protected .dm filetype; that many players will not be able to play them, and that I won't be able to use them for notification sounds?
Ay one have any suggestions? Verizon: am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Usually when you purchase ringtones from the Verizon store, you can only use them as ringtones. Since you have a smartphone, an app would be the best bet. You can find almost any song you're looking for in a free ringtone app, there's no need to purchase them.

Receiving text and email notifications while on call

While I'm on a call, I receive text and email notifications (by a sound and a buzz). Is there a way to shut this off, as it's annoying when there are multiple messages coming through.

Sure; go to settings > sounds and set "new text" and "new VM" to off.
Of course this turns them off ALL the time; your only choice ( I am sure there is a hack for this oversight out there somewhere, though)
This is not a business class smartphone ; its an iPhone.

JLabel moved when I type text

Using BoxLayout I have placed a JLabel on top of a JTextArea. Now, when I type text in the JTextArea, the JLabel moves.
Why does this happen, and what can I do to prevent it?
This is my code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class T2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     try {
         javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
              public void run() {
               JFrame mainw = new JFrame("T2");
               mainw.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                    public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                        System.exit(0);
               JComponent pane = (JComponent)mainw.getContentPane();
               pane.setLayout(new BoxLayout(pane,BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
               pane.add(new JLabel("Write something here:"));
               pane.add(new JTextArea(10,30));
               mainw.setSize(200, 200);
               mainw.setVisible(true);
     catch (Exception e) {
         System.err.println("Exception: " + e);
}

Why does this happen, Read the Swing tutorial on [How to Use Box Layout|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/TOC.html]. It explains how components are aligned when the "X alignment" of compnents is different, which they are in your case (run the code below to see the output). So what is happening is the the label is being aligned to the center of the text area "preferred size" and the preferred size changes as you add text to it.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class T2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     try {
         javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {
              public void run() {
               JFrame mainw = new JFrame("T2");
               mainw.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                    public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                        System.exit(0);
               JComponent pane = (JComponent)mainw.getContentPane();
               pane.setLayout(new BoxLayout(pane,BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
               JLabel label = new JLabel("Write something here:");
               System.out.println(label.getAlignmentX());
               pane.add(label);
               JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(10,30);
               System.out.println(textArea.getAlignmentX());
//               textArea.setAlignmentX(0.0f);
               pane.add(textArea);
               mainw.setSize(200, 200);
               mainw.setVisible(true);
     catch (Exception e) {
         System.err.println("Exception: " + e);
and what can I do to prevent it?Standardize the alignments:
textArea.setAlignmentX(0.0f);

I have no volume for incoming calls ,texts and emails how do i fix it

I have no volume alert for incoming calls ,texts and emails . How can I fix this as I can watch video clips wiyh sound

Hello Strangers1,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning audio issues:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
Try turning off Bluetooth.
If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPhone.
If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
If the issue is not resolved, please contact Apple Support.
Learn more about troubleshooting iPhone hardware issues.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

Handset losing call logs, texts and emails

Hi,
I have an ongoing problem with my BB and am not getting much sense from my network provider (BT Business).
Here's a bit off history:
I started the contract in November 2011 with a Torch 9860. I had numerous problems with the phone freezing and randomly losing data such as texts, call logs and emails. In 9 months I've had 5 phones and 1 sim card change, 2 weeks ago BT changed the handset to a Torch 9810.
The phone has worked fine till Friday when it started doing funny things like randomly receiving texts which were from old conversations. On saturday afternoon it lost all data by way of texts, call logs and emails that were over 24 hours old and in the last hour has lost everything over 6 hours old.
I have all calls, texts and emails going into the messages list and have that set to save everything for ever so I can chose when to delete information.
As I;m a consultant I need my call logs, texts and emails to work out my billing so this really is a pain.
I really do think this is a network issue rather than the handset.
Can anyone offer any ideas/solutions before I phone BT in the morning?
Many thanks x

That is a very tiny database size. Go into your camera options and see where your pictures are being saved.
Something is not right. There is no reason your free memory should be so low with such small database sizes and very few apps installed. You should be pushing 200+ MB of free memory.

Different Ringtone Notifications for Text and Email

I would like to assign different ringtone notifications for texting and email, and if possible, different ringtones for each of my two email accounts. I need to see texts immediately, but not emails. Am picking up the phone 50 times a day so I don't miss a text, critical to my work. Could do this on Bb Storm, but can't figure out on Incredible. At a minimum, I would like to shutoff notification for email, and just get pinged for texts. Thanks!!

Well,
The default notification tone that you set in the Settings->Sound is for the default tone in the generic e-mail account and all other notifications. If you use the Gmail client, you can set your own personal ringtone in it's settings (Menu->Settings). In the messaging Application you can also set a custom notification sound from there as well (Menu->Settings)
As for different e-mail accounts using the same e-mail application, I don't think that is possible with the in stock app...tho I am not totally sure I haven't use it like that before.
Hope that helps!

Why am I all of a sudden getting all my text and email notifications in Spanish? How do I change back to English? Can't find in profile settings?!

Why am I all of a sudden getting all my text and email notifications in Spanish? How do I switch back to English? I can't find that option in profile or notification settings . . .

elliew,
That's a great point! If all other messages and apps on your phone are in English, the preferred language may need to be updated on your account. If this is the case for any of our customers, just reach out to our customer support team at 800-922-0204 or http://vz.to/1vsIHJq .

My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!
