[android-developers] Problems with TTS on Samsung Galaxy S3

I'am developing an app for android that uses TTS.

I've created a splash screen where i check if TTS engine is installed and in case that is not installed, it goes to Google Play to download it.

@Override  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  ...      Intent checkIntent = new Intent();      checkIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA);      startActivityForResult(checkIntent, MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE);  ...  }  @Override  protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {  ...      if (requestCode== PersonalTextToSpeech.MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE)  {      if (resultCode== TextToSpeech.Engine.CHECK_VOICE_DATA_PASS)      {          mTts = new TextToSpeech(context, this);      }else      {              Intent installIntent = new Intent();              installIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_INSTALL_TTS_DATA);              context.startActivity(installIntent);      }  }   }

It was working fine in Samsung devices with 2.2 and 2.3.x OS. It goes to Google Play if needed, but now I've tried with a Samsung Galaxy S3 (with 4.1.1), and it has 2 TTS installed by default (Samsung and Google), so i get a dialog asking to select one.

If the user selects Samsung it works perfect, but if the user selects Google, it goes to Settings --> Language and input --> Text-to-speech output --> Google Text-to-speech Engine --> Settings --> Install Voice Data and i get this: 

So, I have 3 questions/problems:

1- Is there any way to force programatically to use Samsung TTS without asking?

2- My device is from Spain, but if i change the language to English, this one is not available in my Google list of TTS languages, and i can't find a way to add it (see screenshot #2).

3- If I change the language to spanish, this language is supposed to be installed in my device (see screenshot #2), but for some reason TTS resultCode is LANG_NOT_SUPPORTED (-2).

In fact, right now while i write this, I've just found something weird.

If you choose Samsung, it will use Samsung TTS or Google TTS according to what you have selected in: Settings --> Language and input --> Text-to-speech output.

So, even if you select SamsungTTS, you could be using Google TTS, but if you select Google TTS directly (see Screenshot #1) it will fail.

Can someone explain me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.
