Brandon H Supervisor Posted April 12, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted April 12, 2015 Does anyone know of an app that gives a similar experience as Driving Mode for Windows Phone? I like to text to speech that activates when it connects to my car's bluetooth or if anyone knows of a good car friendly text to speech app I can use in my car that would work too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrrgh Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Yeah, I'm looking for one too. After WP I got Sony Z2 so I was able to use the Sony's Smart Connect to replicate the feature but Samsung doesn't appear to have anything similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZMINATOR Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Here is a list of driving mode apps: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=driving+mode&c=apps&docType=1&sp=CAFiDgoMZHJpdmluZyBtb2RlegIYAIoBAggB:S:ANO1ljJL9l0 But your wireless provider have their own driving mode app that comes with your phone.. check and see if you have it on there... Mine has it from my provider but I don't use it. I don't use phone while driving. The call/text have to wait until I pull over aside or get home/work.

Brandon H Supervisor Posted April 21, 2015 Author Supervisor Share Posted April 21, 2015 sorry but that search doesn't really bring up anything useful Shozilla and no, I'm on Cricket so the only carrier apps are an account management app and a visual voicemail app does anyone else have any suggestions?

Yagi Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I heard of this app but haven't tried it yet. The one comment says it's just like WP8 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.daford.speakandhearsms&hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon H Supervisor Posted April 21, 2015 Author Supervisor Share Posted April 21, 2015 What about this: https://drivesafemode.com/ i think you're misunderstanding what Driving Mode does on WP shozilla when the phone connects to the bluetooth you mark as your cars it automatically enables voice texting and allows certain apps such as navigation to go through the bluetooth as well there are a few other minor things it does but the main thing i want to get working is good voice texting while connected (or easily turned on/off) I heard of this app but haven't tried it yet. The one comment says it's just like WP8 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.daford.speakandhearsms&hl=en I'll check this one out when i get home. i currently have my WP on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My app does that... I have it from the provider... It has many features as you mentioned. Besides, I don't use it. I put the phone down. The calls/texts have to wait until I get home or some place. The recent app that I gave you a link to it... they will add more features... all you do is send suggestions to them, so they will add to the next version.

link6155 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Motorola's Moto line of phones have Moto Assist, which detects if your driving and then reads your text messages to you. It also lets you reply to text messages with voice. You can get the app on XDA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2764635 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duoi Veteran Posted April 26, 2015 Veteran Share Posted April 26, 2015 I believe the app you're looking for is called Agent. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tryagent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
