S Voice

I love my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. I’ve had Notes from 2 till now.  On all of them, I’ve used S Voice (or S-Voice for search purposes) off and on.  Sometimes to get the goat of my daughters when I try to claim that it is better than Siri.  (Try is the key word. Once in a blue moon it wins our little competitions, but it is that rare.)  Sometimes to hear the same joke once again.  Most of the time to read text messages.  That last feature as ceased working in the version on my Note 4.

I even wondered if I was asking the wrong thing, so I looked at the help and used the “Read my messages” command.  S Voice would say:

You have a new message.

I would say:

Blankity Blank! Read my messages!

S Voice would say:

It doesn’t look like you have any new messages.  Please try again when you have received a new message. “

I would say:

Why you little…..!!!!!

I’ve cleared all data on S Voice to reset it to no avail.  I tried S Voice on another Note 4 and my friends does the same thing. (His also does not have the S Cover like mine. Sometimes S Voice gets testy and says, ” Use S Voice with the cover open {you idiot! }”

Has anyone else had the same problem?

Does anyone use another program to receive and send text messages that they recommend?

Samsung, can you please fix S Voice so I can have texting back? Improving it so I can win against my daughters would be a bonus also!  🙂
