So I recently purchased a Note 5 (formerly a Windows Phone user) and have ran into an issue that may force me to return this phone. The inability to do hands free texting. Windows Phone has had hands free texting integrated into the OS since Windows Phone 7 back in 2010, so I was shocked that Android doesn't offer anything similar. I've downloaded a couple of text to voice apps that don't seem to work. When I get a text, I still just get my default notification with no option at all to have it read to me. I also need to have it read over a Bluetooth headset which I wear when I'm driving. If anyone has any tips, I'd appreciate it. I have until mid next week to decide to keep the phone.

I thought I saw a hands free mode, guess I was wrong.
I used to use an app called enhanced sms & caller ID.

Have you tried car mode?

I don't need it, texts can wait.
But to the OP, you can download car mode from galaxy apps.
