Voice text speech doesn't work every time when in driving mode? Glitch?

[htc evo 4g]

I like to set my phone on driving mode so that it tells me who is texting me and also read my messages. It only works everyone once in awhile. I often haven't on reboot the phone to get it working again. Is this a glitch of some sort? Anyone else seeing this issue?

Thanks

No problem here and I love this feature. My other two family members who have Note IIs have no prob with this either; in fact, we all keep Driving Mode on all the time.

I'm going to try it.

Ok. Here's what I figured out.

You have to turn S Voice on to get the driving mode to speak your texts to you. Driving mode was not working for me until I started up S Voice to send a text. Suddenly it worked.

I am trying to activate vehicle mode as well. I cannot find S-voice on my phone.

Pull down the notifications bar. Driving Mode is listed among the options across the top.

S-Voice is in your apps drawer.

Here's what you need to do

1. Open Settings
2. Choose Language and Input
3. Choose Voice Recognizer
4. Select 'Samsung powered by VLingo'
5. Voice Search, enable/check 'Show body of Message'

I just got my galaxy s4 back in december. when texting, I could just hit the microphone icon beside the space bar and just speak what I wanted to be texted. but then it just disappeared one day? what's up with that? I've went through my phone so many times to figure it out and none of my other friends and family with androids can figure it out either.
