Galaxy S3 Won't stop talking - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've disabled driving mode but my phone keeps reading off everything on screen. (Emails, facebook, etc). I've tried rebooting... powering down. Nothing works. Anyone ever encounter such a problem?

Settings- accessibility - uncheck talk back.? Might work.

[Q] Missed call stuck on "1"

Cannot get rid of the missed call which is on the Phone icon.
After reboot, still there.
Does someone else have this issue ?
Yes my friend's is stuck on one missed call since the first day he got it and my Samsung app shows an update even though there isnt one. We tried everything short of wiping the phone.
Next firmware
I guess we will have to wait for the next firmware update.
Try calling and missing a call and see what happens.

Nothing adds up to that '1'
I can see the missed call in notifications.

Same...
I have the same problem, the 1 missed call is stuck there, I think from the update..... i've learned to live with it
Was solved for me after wiping the phone.

I had 4 missed calls and after acknowledging it, the icon was still there it wasn't until I called that person that the icon went away. I say call for a split second and hang up. Maybe thats the trick!
It happened after the update so factor rest AND full wipe helpen to solve it.

A friend of mine got the same problem. It's stuck on "1". Any solution to this problem without factory resetting the phone?
I had this problem only when I used Touchwiz. Installed Apex Launcher, and the problem was gone

Not even close, that's just ignoring the problem with a pretty theme.

Touchwizz force closing

Hi guys,
I recently bought an galaxy s3,
After setting it up the way I wanted it to,
Everytime I download something from the Google play Store, and exit it afterwards,
Touchwizz force closes...
Is there someone else with this problem?
Or does someone have a solution?
It's not a big problem but rather irritating!
Thanks!

if you don't mind to set up your screens again. You can try to delete touchwiz data in the apps manager.
Maybe it will solve the problem.
I had an issue with touchwiz freezing sometime, but it was before to upgrade to Jelly Bean.
Otherwise you can install Nova Launcher to replace touchwiz.

Tasker is a perfectly safe and stable application.
also, if you're interested in on-location-change automated actions, i suggest to use llama (free alternative to tasker, but much inferior. Although it might just do it for you...)

Tasker, most definitely.
I use it to turn on my Wi-Fi when I get near to University, then mute everything when I connect to it's SSID. I can also use it to turn on Airplane mode when I'm in lectures on a schedule. I don't have to do anything. The GPS can drain battery a little, but if you set the polling to a decent rate (every 30 minutes?) it cna be minimalised. Plus I can charge while I'm there.

mate 20 pro memory management

I have issues with my banking app and contactless payments, I suspect the memory management is switching it off when it needs to be on at all times so I don;'t have to login every time I use contactless, anyone know how to make sure the phone leaves this app alone?
Found it and for anyone else interested
Hi,
Care to explain how you got to this menu?
Thanks

How did you solved this? What did you turned off or on?
I thought it was battery optimization.

For me I just switched this off because the power management just kept turning the app off which obviously (censored) up contactless payments
