The Haunted Phone #2
« on: August 10, 2015, 01:51:39 PM »
I was having a coffee with a laydee friend in town earlier and we were talking about some legal stuff.

Suddenly a clear female voice emanating from my phone said, "I can hear what you are talking about" eeek:

I checked the phone log. No calls logged in or out at that time eeek:

WTF is that about? (We both heard it bw)  scared2: scared2: scared2: scared2:

Nope. Nothing in the phone log. And why was the voice on loudspeaker. Exorcism may be the answer.... rubschin: scared2:

Miss D may be right  Shocked:

Certain Galaxy models have a voice controlled 'assistant' called S voice.

To switch it off you need to:

Step 1: Activate S Voice on by quickly pressing the home button twice. Then, Tap the menu overflow button on the top-right followed by the Settings option.

Step 2: Scroll down to the Wake-Up category and disable the option to activate S-Voice via the home key. You can also switch off the voice wake-up functionality from here. This should help in slightly increasing the battery life as well.
