No it isn't, are you running any apps in the back that uses maps or location services? Try stopping the app also.

The only thing running in the background that might use maps is Google Now/Search and Google Location Service.
I don't have anything else running that would use maps...

[Q] How to stop sounds in Light Flow

I got this app Light Flow, and i find it very useful, but i got an annoying issue when i'm opening the folder, it play sound like "Folder is opend" "Folder is close" ...
Any suggestion, or any other application?
U had that problem too, you can't turn that off, the developers have to sort that out, that is if they want to. I liked that app but the vioces really pissed me off

If you're using TouchWiz you can't remove that. but use other launcher that will disappear.
After i uninstalled the app, i don't have sounds any more... but i want the other app, that can do the same thing

I found the solution:
For those who wants to try it do the following with your Samsung S3: - Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Talkback "ON" - Select "Settings" from the bottom of the page - Uncheck all Talkback options - Switch Talkback "Off" again - Go back to Settings -> Application manager -> All - Disable Google TTS (text to speech) - Disable Samsung TTS (text to speech)

Make Waze default for Google Now

Is there a way to make Google Now use waze as default navigation?
I found a thread on waze.com that says to click on the map instead of navigate button and it will ask, but its not doing that, even after clearing my defaults.

Go to Settings -> App Associations and select Waze for "map address" instead of maps.

Waze is not on that list. It is on my physical address setting, and selected, but still only uses google maps

Phone keeps speaking.

I am on viper rom. I have floating notifications installed, and in order to enable floating notifications it has to be enabled in accessibility. I have talk back disabled, but for some reason my still wants to talk back screen selections. any ideas as to why?

Oh nooooo!!! I enabled that the other day, and it took me 30 minutes to turn it off, as having it on will not allow u to scroll down. Go back into it and make sure it's off. Also, under your app settings, force close Google TTS.

I forced closed Google text to speech, and I even forced stopped talk back. Talkback is off in the accessibility settings. Now what I've been doing to see if my phone has stopped speaking, I have been opening up instagram, and every time I open instagram my phone says "instagram news". It also does the same whenever I open the browser. Any other ideas?

Use voice to text without data/wifi

I'm not sure what i did because it was over a year ago, but I was able to use voice to text from clicking the speaker button in my keyboard. On any app anytime without Wi-Fi and with data off. Does anyone know where I got that ability? Gtalk enabler? Offline vtt? Idk I'm sure it was a zip or apk but I can't remember what. Google search had no results. I was using task650 4.1.2 unicorn JB rom

Look under the Language & Input settings in System settings: you have to enable Google Voice typing, then it will work.
Lol. I just noticed it was preinstalled just didn't know how to activate it. Thanks
