[funkylogik]

Apparently it's turned off in the kernel. You can get it back with a custom kernel, but of course that requires root, and a willingness to change a core part of the OS.

I just wish my carrier, AT&T, in the US, would release JB so I could provide feedback.

Because the S3 is all about nature and being inspired by nature. So they don't support driving cars that harm the environment and nature.
First guess in my head at 7 in the morning....

That's the # 1 thing I like about this great Android Central Forum. Whilst briefly scanning & reading you can learn something new everyday!

Ahhh superb! I liked the driving mode. I have now just turned it on. nice one

I was checking out the ibolt car dock yesterday on amazon and someone has put that the item is as much use as tits on a fish (my phrasing because his was hideous) because driving mode is no longer there. I almost feel like going on and correcting his statement for the good of mankind in general. In all fairness, one guy has gone on and half corrected it.

However recently I have found at work that no matter how much you try to correct stupid, another will come along. The war on stupid is over for me, I shall be coming on this forum regularly to improve my understanding (I know i dont know it all!) and helping out with people who come out with statements like.. "hey, this has stopped working any idea why?" (person with the widget problem in JB with nova, I tested it on my phone and I can create them) but the people who say... "omg they removed this and its now totally broken with no eta for fix".. basically baseless statements with no ground in fact can wallow in their self pity and go find another phone / forum etc...

I wish the people with patience of saints well in the war against stupid.

Go to setting>language and input>text-to-speech output
There you can find the driving mode..

That's NOT the solution -- at least, according to folks who have upgraded to JB and discovered that their car docks no longer work.

All that does is convert text to speech -- and in my S3, which I use with a iBolt car dock, I have that disabled. So, it has nothing to do with the phone working in a car dock -- which is what folks have been complaining about.
