It is off

Have you got Missed It installed or another app that requires accessibility settings turned on?

Ahh yeh, Light Flow (custom LED notifications).

Yup its a bug.
Disable google text-to-speech and samsung tts in application manager. Thats the only way to fix it for now.

I really hope this isnt a wide spread thing. I use Google talk heavily. I cant afford for it to disconnect upon my screen timing out. I havent used it since I activated my phone to test though.
Maybe check under the power saver option in settings. There is an option to turn off background data when the screen turns off. Maybe that's it?

I will try that setting out and report back

Just uncheck auto away status and it will stop logging out.

Is anyone else having an issue where google talk won't load for them? I touch the icon and it looks like it loads for a second then flashes back to the app drawer. I tried clearing the application data, didn't help, and of course I can't uninstall/reinstall

Yup, I have to restart the phone to get it working. I also notice that Restart does NOT restart the phone for me. It powers it down.

I have both of those exact same problems. Hopefully, the next software update will fix these issues.

[Q][SOLVED] Not able to install Non-Market Apps

Hey guys, i'm currently not able to install non-market apps. I've checked in system settings that this is allowed. The only problem is that the install button cannot be activated but the abort button.
Does anybody has an answer for that? (example attached)
Thanks!

Hi, are you using Juicedefender or any other app managing screen brightness ?
If yes, disable this app and it will work, you can reactivate it after you apk install
I had this issue with JD and it made me mad :silly:

Screen Filter
I had the same problem with Screen Filter. But when I turn it off everything works fine. So no problem at all.

Thank you!! I have JB Galaxy S3 and was having the same problem!! Found your post and disabled LUX (which controls screen brightness) and was then able to install my non-market app. Doesn't make any sense why that would have anything to do with it, however thank you for the fix!!

Look in accessibility menu, maybe you will be able to unactivate it
(you could also look to Text to speech features in input menu)
Also, maybe this is a setting of your app, but we don't know which one it is, so...
If this is a part of an app, check in it's settings. Else, go to the applications label in the settings, go to the manage all apps tab, and scroll down to the voice apps. Disable them, or clear all data of the app. This should solve your problem

Go to settings > accessibility > services > talkback ..and switch off the talkback option..your problem will be solved....and if there is any other app in the "services" then switch that off also coz there is some bug in 4.1.2 coz of which even if talkback option is off, it is used by other app in that services..my problem was solved by doing that n I hope ur's also be solved..

[Q] My phone reads out emails loud when s-pen is near the screen!

My phone reads out emails loud when s-pen is near the screen! What should I do to turn this feature off?
the only time I've heard mine read anything outloud, other than caller id, which is an app I have setup, was when I inadvertently turned driving mode on-check for that in your toggles

Hmm. I read of people having trouble with hovering over the screen with the s-pen and it acting like it was already touching the screen. They said hitting it against something hard fixed the issue. Try that? Lol!

This is the only thread I can find about this, so I'll revive it here.
I have car mode off
All Accessibility features off (except for my Pebble notifications), in the Talkback Accessibility, I unchecked everything (just in case) even though it's off.
Under Text-to-speech output, if I choose the 'very slow' speech rate, I can confirm that the emails are IN FACT spoken more slowly.
How do I stop this text-to-speech from happening? I can't find a visual impair setting anywhere.
Edit: I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.
Even having Pebble on Accessibility notifications (for some reason) enables TTS features, no matter what you disable. This has been realized for other Accessibility options in Touchwiz before, so for anyone having this issue, here:

Hopefully it's fixed in future software updates!

Force Stop Android System

I was wondering if an app can be developed to be able to force stop Android system on command without going into notification pull down and holding down on wifi then clicking app info everytime.
I want to be able to get rid of the wifi notification and beats notification to free up space.
Thanks

Sorry if I am misunderstanding but you can tick the show notification box on the app info screen instead of force stopping anything

The show notification is grayed out so you can't change it

I'm relatively sure that force stopping android system is a bad thing. I think that there are mods for removing the WiFi notification around here somewhere though.

Yeah I updated the software so I'm not rooted. I was just hoping an app could make this process simpler.

For the persistent WiFi notification have you tried to go into settings and untick the notification, never auto turn on wifi, and turn on wifi when launching apps or something like that I heard that helps stop the nagging

Yeah all those settings are in place. It still shows up in the notification pull down unless I hold down on it, go to app info and force stop Android system every time I connect or disconnect to wifi.
