3 voice dialing packages on the phone is bad. . .
By SimplyNoted from Portland Oregon
If you have the phone locked and use your blue tooth headset to place a call, it brings up a really poorly designed app that requires you to listen to overly long instructions every time. For instance, I push the button on the blue tooth headset while the phone is locked.
It replies: "Please say 'call' followed by a name or a number"
I say: "Call Mark at home"
Rather than calling Mark at home,
It replies: "Mark, say select 1 for home say select 2 for mobile"
You would think that saying 'home' or '1' would be enough, but NO, you must say 'Select 1'.
None of the Samsung reps at the Best Buy stores I have been to know how to identify or remove that app. It only comes on when the phone is locked. Both of the other 2 voice dialing apps on the phone are fine.
Another issue is the volume. The audio output is rather low in the majority of the apps. I did however find that in the poorly designed Google music player, you can turn the volume up higher, but you must click a warning each and every time that you do it. When I plug my phone into my cars audio, I do NOT want to have to fiddle with the phone to turn up the volume. It is fine to have the warning once per week or some such, but to have it show up every single time you turn the volume up over a certain arbitrary threshold is beyond stupid.
The phone itself seems fine, but the poor audio functions of the software leaves a lot to be desired. I thought that the Verizon MP3 player was bad, but the Google and Samsung ones are even worse.
If they want some interface ideas, they should just do it like Winamp or iTunes and then call it good.

re: high volume notice
July 22, 2014
I agree that the persistent notification about headphone volume is EXTREMELY irritating; it adds an additional step each time. However, this is a Samsung software feature and is not directly caused by the Google all access music player. It happens to me on my Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 tablet while listening to audiobooks and/or watching video. I love the hardware on Samsung devices, and would like to get a Note 3 or 4, but the bloated and intrusive Samsung software is a strong deterrent. I regret buying the tablet and have considered getting rid of it.
