[Q] My phone wont stop telling me things... - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

e.g. "Folder Open" and "Folder Closed"....
I've tried Sound, Language and Input, but I can't see anywhere else find a setting that may help.
I cant seem to get it to stop!!
Does anyone know how to disable this feature?
Thanks,
Paul

I think it's something in accessibility options in settings, I'm on aosp so can't tell you exactly as the menus are probably different

Go to Settings>Accessibility>TalkBack and turn it off.
Use thanks button if i helped you

Turn off TalkBack. But if that doesn't help than you probably have light flow installed which conflicts with talk back. If installed try uninstalling and check again.
Hope it helps

[Q] Phone answer button

I find the slide to answer the phone very inconvenient. I would like to be able to answer the phone either by pressing a soft (on screen) button or even a hard button. I have tried a number of market packages that offer an answer button, but they do not activate until a number of rings have passed. Anybody have any suggestions?
This behavior probably varies between roms, so maybe you can find one with an option for what you want.

I have not found a ROM with that option yet. If anyone knows of one I would appreciate your help.

It's not a bad idea. You could post a feature request somewhere for it, I guess. Maybe make a poll, see if there is interest?

How to turn off voice prompt on sgs3 touchwiz?

Is there any way to turn the voice prompts off? That is, when I open a folder or go to edit home screen, my phone "talks" and it is quite annoying.
Thanks!

Having the same issue
I'm also having the same issue as you. I think there might be an app in the app store to fix it. I'll try to do some research about it. If i find out any more info, I will let you know.
I have problem also, is this allready fixed somewhere?
+1 this is really annoying! Only way to make sure its not going to shout at you in silent situations is to put media volume to 0. Still effort though, kinda ridiculous.
Driving mode on/off
Or
In setting, accesebilities Talkback ...on/off.............It's for blind and/or disability.

Just go to app manager and disable Samsung TTS and Google Text-to-speech. now my touchwizz dont talk anymore

[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

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?

Pico TTS
Hey have you found a solution to this problem? I have the same issue! Im using an Xperia P and the Text to Speech feature is enabled. Even when the phone is on silent mode. Its really annoying. I checked all of my settings with no luck. Accessibility is off, same with TalkBack.

thanks i figured it out a few days after, im not sure what i did, it might have been what you described

In call volume too loud

Hey I don't know if this is a rom/firmware issue or just an issue with the phone itself. I looked around on the internet, but wasn't able to find anything. I can't even hold the phone to my face (hurts my ears) when it is on the lowest volume, and everybody can hear my conversations haha.
also side note I tried to install the back button menu hack and it removed all the the numbers on my pin lock screen. At first it was annoying, but now I kind of like it. Sadly the numbers came back. I know this isn't the right thread, but wasn't sure if somebody might know how to how to get my blank lock screen back. It was super secure and people thought I was some crazy tech master.
