I have an issue where the TTS on my phone will say everything outloud that I touch in certain apps. It's doing it in the stock browser, Dolphin HD, and Gmail at the least. I've checked in Accessibility settings, and both the 'TalkBack' service is off as well as 'Explore by touch'.
Does anyone know what is causing this and how to turn it off? I just can't seem to find what setting this would be...
(P.S. It happened initially in Beta 0.2.0, then I restored a backup to 0.1.0 which seemed to be fine for awhile, and now it's doing it there as well. Could this be some sort of App issue...?)
EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. It was happening due to the System Settings -> Accessibility -> 'Install web scripts' setting. Should stop turning on things that I don't know what they are.
Try to disable insall web scripts in accesibility.

I've been running C/CV6 for a few months now and for the most part it has worked great. Last week I cranked up the ole gtab after not using it for about a week or so and started having all kinds of issues. I noticed that nearly every web page that I went to I was getting warnings about the cerificate not verifying. I could push through the warnings and continue on to the page but it's getting kind of old after doing it for a few days. I have also noticed that the marketplace that I worked so hard on also doesn't work. Not only does it not work, it flat won't open. It starts to open, attempts to load, gives me the white screen, then closes. I tried it several times in a row. Then restarted the tablet and it still gives the same result. I would really appreciate some help on this if anyone has some information. I'm trying to avoid doing a wipe and reinstall, but I need that marketplace. Thanks for any advice.
Uninstall your browser and reinstall. This is a problem related to the upgrade of the market app. It's been giving a lot of issues to apps other than the ones came with stock.
Go to browser setting and uncheck security warning
GoodIntentions, I did what you said. I deleted my dolphin browser. Nothing changed. I tried to delete the browser that came with it but couldn't. It won't allow it. I went into the market settings and also deleted the cra in it's cache. I restarted, nothing happened. It's still doing the same thing. The market will not open. It tries but closes. I'm also still getting certificate warnings on every site using the stock browser. Note that I haven't changed any security settings to cause this. I had been using my dolphin brwser for afew months with the market installed with no problem. All of the sudden this happened. I can't get it to work at all. Any suggestions?
In the stock browser setting, unchecked show security warning. I had the same issue.
tsukaza, I know that it is possible to change the secrity settings, which will affect how often you're alerted about security certificates. The concern here is why is it suddenly doing this. I didn't change the settings, so why did this start happenning. Something triggered it. This isn't really what has me most concerned though and changing the security settings won't make the market suddenly work. I wish someone knew about the update and how to fix the issue. thanks for you suggestion.
If the warning only shows up on a few sites then mostly likely the cert expired and they didn't renew it.
Check your time and date. I've noticed that my gTablet will sometimes lose these and set them to some point in 2008. Changing the time and date back to current instantly fixes things.
I have discovered an issue with the latest Gmail update and am curious if anyone else is too.
I have been having issues with my MoPho going into "Silent Mode" for no valid reason. Everything works fine then all volume voes silent including ringers, notifications, dialer key sounds, etc. The only way to get sounds working was by restart. I have traced it to the Gmail app notifications. When a new email arrives I get the status bar and audible notices, then the sounds go dead. Since un-installing the latest update to Gmail everything seems fine again.
This makes the second google app update I've had to revert from. There has also been reported issues with google search causing com.process.motorola.home to FC when opening from the app drawer.
Anyone else experience this?
FWIW I'm running rooted stock 2.3.4.

I haven't seen that... it seems pretty unlikely that the Gmail app could cause Silent Mode to be enabled, but I guess stranger things have happened.
It's not "turning silent mode on". When I get the notification and read the email sound no longer works after exiting Gmail. Don't understand it, either. The volume is up all the way, but you can't hear anything. I wound up having to revert back with Gmail AND YouTube (I discovered this after testing) and now I don't have anymore no sound issues. I guess I should reinstall them, make it happen (I can reproduce it at will) and get the logcat and see if it gives any useful info.
I have also had to revert back with google search, too. If I install the update and try to use google search from within the app drawer I get a FC in com.process.motorola.home. Removing the update gets rid of the FC.

I have tested these apps many times and never experienced this issue, are you loading any other apps at the same time?
Not doing anything differently than I have in the past. The issue showed up the day they updated and stopped the day I reverted back. Not loading any other apps at the same time or anything unusual.

@FernBch
it happens to me, but nothing linked to Gmail..
this is what i do when i dont hear anything when i get a text message: go into settings > sound > notification tone
I try changing it to another sound. if i hear nothing, i stop all running apps (because usually the stock media player is open for some reason.)
if there's no sound after checking again. i use my file explorer to play a mp3 via stock media player, once it plays fine, the notification sound works...
its a messy thing i have to go through when it happens.. but i dont know why...
My children (twin boys) have phones (samsung i5500) and I'd like to be able to remove access to the settings option, mainly to prevent them messing around with passwords which they often forget. Tried searching google etc, but not seeing a solution (or anyone else asking)
Any idea how to do this? Both phones currently stock.
Thanks
You could try one of these:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5kb21vYmlsZS5hcHBsb2NrIl0.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sp.protector.free&feature=search_result
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkyeah.smartlockfree&feature=search_result
Although note that Android is fairly "open" and there are probably ways around these. (I haven't tried any of them personally, nor have I tried to get around them. If your sons learn how to root the phones, they could probably easily remove any protection app you install. It may even be possible to just kill them from a task manager - you may want to block access to the Play Store also so that you must approve any apps they want to install)
EDIT: Just tried the first, seems to do the job well. I'd advise enabling the lock on "Settings" in the General tab and everything other than "incoming calls" on the Advanced tab. Haven't found anyway to get round it, so it seems to do the job.
EDIT: Having left it on my phone for a sort time, I noticed an increased battery drain (even just in half an hour). Not sure if others will be the same, or if this app always behaves like this, but if you notice battery draining quicker after installing one of these apps, you may want to try a different one.
Thanks, I've just found the same direction, it hadn't occurred to me earlier that settings was an app.
If you hit disable on settings app how do enable it back?
hi all
I have problem make me very sad from Chrome
if I use chrome and I go another app when I back to chrome all page refreash again
I turn off I go to " settings - bandwidth management - preload webpapgs and I select never
its same every time u out and back to chrome auto refresh
anyone have idea?
Also interested in an answer... Sounds like its a multiplatform issue. Would like to be able to read the page I left open without having it refresh as I select that tab
I believe this is due to javascript stuff. Many websites are set to refresh due to that. You can try disabling it, but might cause issues on other websites.

I'm having some issues with Chrome Beta that I'm trying to get resolved through Google's support forum. So in the meantime, I installed Firefox and even the standard version of Chrome. Both work great, but unfortunately, Chrome Beta apparently doesn't won't to give up control. Even if I disable Chrome Beta or uninstall it completely, I am still not given the option to set another browser as the default. Instead, what I get when I click a link/url to access the internet, is the message "App not installed". It's like Chrome Beta has permanently set itself as the master default, even somehow after I have disabled or even uninstalled it.
Under Default Applications, Chrome Beta is not even listed, nor is any browser listed. I even reset all app preferences under Manage Applications, which reset all my apps' defaults, and still the default browser seems to be hardcoded for only Chrome Beta. If you open Chrome Beta under the Manage Applications, it ironically shows that it has NO defaults set, which seems odd but tells me obviously something is amiss here.
So, I'm at a lost, I have no idea why this is happening or why I can't force another browser to be the default. I do have root, so if anyone has any ideas how I could possibly override this strange behavior, or any other suggestions, I'd love to give it a try.
