Accessibility options - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

So I was messing around a little, digging into settings, and something stuck. When I open a folder, the system tells me "the folder is open"
When I close it, "the folder is closed"
I've checked 5x and talk back is off in accessibility. System freezes when I go in to talkback settings on the bottom of the talkback screen.
Thanks for help....

Swype predictive text issue

Does anybody else have an issue with swype?
Sometimes, if i try to delete a word, it will delete it until there is one letter left, then it just creates a word, making it impossible to delete it fully. Ie, there is only a w left, it creates we 3 times, i can delete it back to w but it creates we 3 more times, endlessly
I have had to completely disable the word suggestions and auto fix.

Google search 'terms of service' comes up everytime I search? How to disable?

So every time I hit the magnifying glass 'search' hardkey on my ATRIX to bring up the universal search from the home screen, the google 'terms of service' to allow search to use my location comes up and I have to hit ok and clear it everytime before I can search. Not the end of the world but really annoying...any idea how to disable that notification prompt? The checkbox is always set to 'allow use of my location' but it still comes up everytime.

Google play settings

Ok so this might be to dumb to alot but I can not seem to find the settings or more specifically the "my apps" int eh google play store app. The only option I really have is the magnifying glass for the search feature. If i clear the data and cache then when i upgrade again it shows me them but obv I don't want to have to do that everytime. Anyone else know how to find the my apps in the app?
For me, My Apps only shows up when on the Play Store home page or when viewing the Apps section of the store. It shows up in the menu next to the magnifying glass. If I'm viewing music or books, then it shows "My Music" or "My Books" instead.
Mine doesn't even do that...Also besides first finding the picture and then clicking share and selecting the gmail app...Does anyone know if there is a way to add an attachment to your email from inside the gmail app? I've tried to longpress to see if maybe that would bring up some options but it does nothing. Kinda frustrating all in all.
That's really weird about your Play Store "My Apps" not showing up. As for Gmail, when you're composing the email, tap the menu in the upper right then select "Attach File".
I don't even have a menu button at the top right

You have to be "composing" an email first. Then you will see 3 little dots at top left of screen

Not exactly sure, it sounds like you turned on easy mode under display in settings. Change it back

You defaulted to the easy launcher goninto settings and clear defaults for the easy launcher then press home and select tw launcher. Alternatively install a different home screen app, hit the home key select tw launcher for always and uninstall the home screen app u installed previously

after each restart my brightness go back to default with auto mark why?

i always turn off the v on the auto brightness cause i love my on the full bright
but every restart i make it turn back to default ?
I too don't like this behavior, particularly because if restarting the phone in poor light conditions the screen is automatically set to a very low brightness.
I'd like to know if this is a bug or it's so by design...
By design. All my mates did this. Don't like either but is what it is.
yup. an issue for me too
This is seriously a Huawei 'feature'? Holy.... :silly:
Possible solution:
Depending on your exact model and restrictions placed on it in your country/territory you should be able to do the following to stop this (VERY!) annoying issue:
1) Turn-off power-saving battery modes if you haven't already
2) Go into 'Settings' then: System -> Developer Options -> there will be an option called "Increase Readability Under Sunlight" -> Toggle this setting to "OFF"
3) Go back to main Settings screen, then "Display" and ensure that "Auto-Adjust" is OFF
This should stop the phone from constantly turning the automatic adjustment back on every time you restart.
NOTE: Some may find that they do not see a "Developer Options" menu within their System settings. If this is you then you MIGHT be able to activate this hidden menu by going into the System section then About Phone, then press/click the "Build Number" part of the screen 7 times in a row.
If this works for you it will pop up with a message such as "you are now an authorised developer"
If you get this kind of message then if you go back to your main System settings screen you should now see the previously hidden 'Developer Options' section
Hope this helps some of you, I had to do this on my new Mate 20 Pro
I really hoped that 146 update solved this problem, but even with all the above settings disabled, after reboot the auto brightness setting always stays ON...
Even more annoying is the dimming within certain apps. When you open Chrome for example, the display dims. And when you close Chrome the display gets brighter (to its original value) again. Haven't found a way to fix this yet. The problem occurs with autobrightness disabled as well as when the autobrightness is enabled. Also with Increase Readability Under Sunlight toggled off.
I'm looking for a fix that stops the dimming when opening certain apps, but let's me be able to keep the autobrightness function on.
I'm not sure if this works, I'm not even sure if the app is called power genie or power genius. But I saw this in a forum.
. non rooted solution will be: adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.huawei.powergenie
Try this as for me it is working perfect. Download setting database editor. Install it, after that go to setedit app and find hw_screen_auto_brightness_adj and delete line. Reboot and voila. No more dimming or increase in autobrightness.

Tried this a couple of times, off/on/off on my p30pro, but makes no difference at all, any other ideas for these phones?
I had the same annoying "issue" with my Mate20Pro.
I have an efficient way to solve this.
Just download MacroDroid app, and you can make a macro with these parameters: after turn on do: set brightness to X% and turn off auto adjust.

Thank you for introducing this very useful app
It'd be brilliant if you could provide the exact instruction to do the parameters ... I couldn't figure it out after trying for several times
Cheers
Just stop rebooting your phone. It doesn't need it. Worst case is that you have to enable it after Android updates.
