Yeah if so then go to settings- accessibility and turn it off there. It will still work afterwards

and she dident know about the problem. but fixed it. aperently it was some "spoken reply" thing. she disabled it. at now it dosent do it eny mmore.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had the same problem but figured it out. Select the android keyboard and it should be solved.

Thanks for that, works a treat...
Yeah i had this back with 1,6 with swype seems to be a copilot issue rather than SE
I never had a problem with Copilot on 1.6 but now i cant use it on 2.1 the screen goes all funny with i rotate the phone to horizontal , not sure if this is linked to Swype but it always worked fine before.
hmmm looks like I'm not the only one who have this problem... i'll try to stop the auto rotate thing too
still a shame cant use the se keyboard w copilot...
but for those w the rotate problem the way i fixed it was to get a newer copy of copilot n now it can rotate to landscape now...

1 use a different browser, I like boat browser myself.
2 look under settings- display- screen time out. Or have I misunderstood?
3lag usually goes after a while. Try removing some stuff you dont use etc

Lag on an S,lol, its a bug. Reflash the phone(what firmware version are you?).
Screen timeout can be set from Display settings, not sure about lock, I amnt using a code atm.
All android browsers will default to the "m" versions of sites as the stock user agent string will tell the site that your phone is android. Without root I dont know if you can change the stock browsers user agent, but if you install opera mobile it can be set from "about:config"(type in to address bar).
Edit: If you've only booted once, REBOOT! First boot lags things up a bit.

1 ... i thought that i would have to, but i wanted to stay with the default, so this is what anoyes me.
2 ... no, i dont mean the time, when the backlight turnes off ... i mean the lockscreen in which you can unlock your phone with pin and gestures after you pressed the power-button and turned it on again
3. hmm ... there is nothing on ... expect for the stock-apps ...
the firmware version of mine is 6.0.A.3.62 ... but pc companion says that this is the newest -.- although it istn ...

Voice prompt when going to home screen edit

The only bug I seem to have found with my new Galaxy S3 might just be a setting I cant find. Basically when ever you use pinch to open the edit screen (where is shows how many screens you have and which is the home screen) the phone says it out loud. Even when I have the audio muted it still talks and tells me what screen I just clicked on.
Is there somewhere to turn this off? VERY annoying.
Have you installed lightflow on your phone ? It was causing my phone to do this as well until I uninstalled it
Yeah that was it. Hope they fix that.

It's not directly related to using Lightflow, but rather to adding apps as accessibility services (which Light flowers unfortunately requires to work). That means it's an Android issue which will hopefully be fixed at some point.

Wow i just got this too - scared the hell out of me! Is this the ONLY quirk of Lightflow? If so, i can live with it i guess.
Ours the only annoying thing I've found so far. Happens as well if you turn accessibility on in tasker. So yeah, it's not as such lightflows fault. Only seems to affect me when opening and closing folders, and when going into hone screen edit, which I don't use anyway. I just avoid those things.
lightflow developer has raised the issue with google, and if you find where you can 'star' it which add you as sometime who wants it fixed. As yet google haven't fixed it.

Seems like a random bug: I use lightflow with accessibility setting turn on and never have this issue...

[Q] [TW] How to disable pinch out sound

Hello all,
Its getting very annoying: everytime I pinch out on the homescreen to get to the homescreen selection section, a voice is saying some stuff I cant even understand, even in silent mode. Its getting me sick!
How can I disable it? Looked for it everywhere! Someone has a clue?
Thanks in advance.
Am I the only one with this problem? No one else?
I dont have any sounds when pinching on the homescreen.

Me either as far as I know your not meant to get any either?
Have you added an app as an accessibility service? Maybe Lightflow or Tasker? You can either remove those apps as accessibility services or you could use another launcher. This is a known bug which doesn't really have a perfect solution yet.

I had the same issue yesterday and i solved it
At first i thought it was driving mode(since that reads out things while you drive) then i checked accessibility settings and i disabled talk back(i think).....but that still didnt work.
Found out its lightflow....Has something to do with the app.I think you can disable it but i just removed the app completely and the voices stop
I'm still waiting for my s3 so can't check whether that does the trick or not but the developer of Missed It! said to check that both Talkback and Install Web Script (both in Accessibility settings) are set to off
Sent from my CM9 TouchPad
I've had this problem too and I don't have Lightflow installed. For me, the solution was to go to Settings, Accessibility and under Services turn off 'Addons Detector' which I had installed.
So, perhaps it's anything installed in the Services section causes the problem. A bug perhaps?

yes i did restart my phone several time (quite a lot actually), well the lag is not recently happen, its been a month since the first lag happened, but right now it's really bugging me because suddenly the lag happens quite often, so I really need help guys
I can't say for sure. But I know some applications can cause problems. Maybe its because of others installed with it or just that app. Just something to keep in mind.
Try remove your clock widget and see how it goes.

i did try that one, but seems like the widget is not the one causing the lag, because the lag will happens in every screen

I believe is not the applications, because it just slow response after im using the google chrome but after that it works fine again, but still even though is only for a short time i am little bit concern about what's going on with my phones hehe
Backup data and factory reset .

Factory reset is your best solution if you are not rooted.
