Hi there,
I've a galaxy S2 with thebiyani rom
My phone has just started talking at me, but only letting me know what home screen page i am on.
I scroll through the screens and the voice says "page 1 of 4" etc
I have been to Settings > Accessibility > text to speech output
i can change the speed of the voice but am unable to turn it off.
driving mode is off.
any suggestions? as its driving me bonkers and its probably under some other menu..
thanks

Is Talkback turned on?
Where would I find that?

Should be under Accessibility. It is for me.
For me, the speech rate and driving mode are under Language and input, not Accessibility. Are you sure you're looking in the right place?
How odd, its not here for me..

I see. Thebiyani is a JB based ROM. I am on ICS. So it's a good chance things are located in different spots for us.
Try asking in the ROM thread.
I'm on the leaked lsj (not this rom) and for me its under accesability>services>talkback. Otherwise if you can't find you could always try going into titanium baackup (if you don't have this and flash custom roms you really should) and find talkback and then freeze it, however i'm not sure if this will cause any other issues
I've "no services installed" under services...
But i have found out why the phone started talking.
I downloaded the app No LED and apparently that makes the talkback start.. bit of a rubbish bug TBH but at least I found the problem... But I never did find the Talkback
thanks though for your responses

i just notticed today that wheni call my voicemail none of the phone onscreen buttons work
keypad,end call, speaker etc are all non functional. i have to press the hardware key to end call.
im using CHT EDITOR with stock TMO rom
could be 2 things related to MinimumTapTime for screen sensitivity:
1. Do you have BSBtweak installed? DO NOT change the MinTapTime setting. Revert it.
2. Did you do tweak#44 MinTapTime from SBOY2000's HD2 tweaks thread? change that value back to what it was.
didnt tweak anything ust used bsb tweaks and changed it back to normal
still same.
at the moment i cant even get to the phone screen
the phone is completely fn cracked out.
im seriously on losing my patience with this sht, 3 phones cant be all having same issues thats just impossible unless the OS is ****.
yesterday i installed the WCX ILLUMINATI SERIES HD2 EURO/TMOUS 21911 2017
rom and it worked fine
call screen worked and keypad as well
i installed the BSB tweaks and cookie tab home
and getting same thing now the whole call screen is inactive
cant even push the hardware end button to end the call
and an error popped out:
a problem has occured with cprog.exe
the phone is very buggy in general with the cookie tab and bsbtweaks
ok so i just tested with both of them setup separately and both of them make my phone screen go stupid.
with bsb tweaks it doesnt turn on at all
with cookie tab it calls but then none of the buttons work on it not even hardware end call...
god damn i hate this phone, less than a week i own it and im about to throw it at the wall.
is anything supposed to work with microsoft at all?
wtf is active about active sync? it takes 50 tries to get one connection
sorry for the language but this is relaly fn frustrating.

You returned the phone twice because you keep installing an incompatible program and getting an error????????? Then why do you keep installing that program??????????? You're giving WindowsMobile users a bad name.
*HINT 1:Check what date BSBTWEAK was made. IT IS NOT MADE FOR THE TMO USA HD2! If somehow you feel you must use it, DO NOT FIDDLE WITH THE "TAP TIME" SETTING WITHIN BSBTWEAK.
*HINT 2: DISABLE COokie's Home Tab Lockscreen, it causes more trouble than it's worth.

Hello all! ...
I installed BsB onto my phone and it worked fine. I installed it on my wife's phone, and altering the Tap Time resulted in her screen not responding to the icons (speaker phone, hold, etc) while in a call. My phone did not have that problem. I did a hard reset and reinstalled everything except BsB and her phone is now fine ...

"in case this helps anyone: one of the tweaks would free my phone when in a call (not the whole phone, just the phone screen) so i couldn't bring up a the keypad or go to speakerphone, etc. I figured out it was the "tap time" tweak. i'm using the usa t-mobile hd2." (pg. 117) haven't seen the menu issue but if you have it backed up might as well save time and do the hard reset. i wonder if chainfire might be the issue there.

THIS>>> DO NOT INSTALL BSBTWEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope this helps someone else.
The OP doesn't take suggestions well. He just comes on here to vent about how he can't make his phone work.
Just have the S2 from my old faithful HTC HD2 - with the HTC I use to use it in the gym with my bluetooth headset listening to music but with the phone turned off so I would not be disturbed..........
And from what I can see that is no longer possible with the S2 - surely there must be a way to turn the phone off and still use bluetooth without having to hack the root etc
I know I can use WiFI while in flight mode and GPS but that does not help whilst out running / in the gym - that's basically my time and I do not want to be disturbed, or disturb others hence wanting to simply turn the phone off that's all

By "phone off" you don't actually mean powering the device off, do you? Because that would be neat trick, listening to your music while the device was completely powered off.
You could turn Auto reject mode on to turn away all calls. (settings > call > call rejection)
EDIT: and what's wrong with flight mode? I'm not clear on why this wouldn't work for you. Or is it that you still want mobile data, but no phone calls?
EDIT 2: Herp derp, I see, it IS because you want mobile data, right? Since if you're out running, you don't have wifi available. So yeah, Auto reject mode should work for you.

He wants to use his phone like an mp3 player with bluetooth headsets. He wants to "turn off" phone functions and use only the phone like a music player.
AFAIK in "flight mode" is not possible to use bluetooth.

D'oh... missed one little detail.
Right, it's not possible. Bluetooth won't turn on in flight mode. Sorry.
Auto reject mode should still work for the OP's purposes though.
AloneOnTheDark is spot on - really just a simple request one would have thought......
He wants to use his phone like an mp3 player with bluetooth headsets. He wants to "turn off" phone functions and use only the phone like a music player.
Only issue using the Auto Reject mode is that the caller calling me does not get put through to my voice mail and all the caller hears is that the call is unauthorised..... so not really that sensible as it might be a client trying to get hold of me, and at least a voice mail etc they can handle.............
Still can't believe this is such a major issue and that there are no apps / wdigets to do this, though did come across one potential one where you might be able to turn the phone off, but there was a caveat that it might not work and that you would have to do a factory reset etc

Then you can change your forwarding. settings > call > call forwarding > voice call. Activate "always forward", and put in your voice mail number for your carrier. It should be the same number as the three other forwarding options below it. Same menu options to disable it when you want to turn it off.

Call forwarding is built into the OS, so probably no one saw the need to build an app for it... Just guessing though.
ctomgee thanks that's the way to go - bit of a faff to do but worth it for some peace & quiet away from the phone, and I know I could have ignored the call, but can never bring myself to do that
Just found a little app that does it..........
Thanks again - sorted !

No prob.
FYI, you can create a shortcut directly to the call fowarding settings menu too. Just download "Any Cut" from the market. Or if you're using Launcher Pro as your homescreen launcher, you can do this with a long press on the homescreen. It's a bit of a pain to find stuff you want to shortcut to, but you only have to do it once this way.

I honestly didn't even check the market for an app for it. I just assumed there wasn't one because you said there wasn't one.
Hi can you tell me which app you found please? I've tried several but can't switch on BT with any of them once in flight mode. I want to do exactly what you do in the gym! Thanks!
Hi guys. I have a peculiar problem in my new Galaxy S3. Whenever I make a call, the screen remains on even though I have ticked the 'Auto screen off during calls' option in call settings. Also, whenever I input any numbers while in a call, the keypad does not hide. I mean I get the 'Hide' option but it doesn't do anything and the keypad stays on the display. Can anyone tell me if this is a known issue or am I the only one facing it? Is there any workaround this? I am on stock firmware (XXLF2) and haven't even rooted my phone yet. Please help me guys!
I have exactly the same problem. I know the proximity sensor works, because I tried the proximity sensor test app. But my phone does not turn off screen when in call.
i have same problem any one help us ?
I also have this problem.. and to make it worse, I can't seem to call out occasionally. I swipe to call, but nothing happens. I can't even dial out at times.. rebooting usually solves the issue, but the problem quickly comes back.
I'm not rooted, on stock rom. Anyone know what the issue is?
OK, it looks like for me, it was a conflict between Google Voice and the phone. Turning it off/disabling it fixes the problems I've been having. I'll have to see what exactly is causing the conflict, but at least everything works with it off.

Where exactly is the option for turning off Google Voice?
I looked in Applications All but couldn't find it.

Check under 'Voice', not Google voice. It's also an option on the Voice widget.
If that doesn't fix it, try rebooting and doing it again.

'Voice' was my search pattern. It's got to be there I'll find it.
Hi guys,
Did you find a solution to this problem yet? I have the same problem, and no matter what I do, I can not make it work. The screen is always on during a call. I am using the stock rom, without root, as it is.

Nevermind. I fixed it by removing FSC ID, apparently it was interfering.
i had the same problem but it was fixed after i made a phone restart.
I have the same problem...
Hi,
So since the new Skype update my mum's been having this strange issue during video calls where a bunch of stats show up.
Screenshot is attached since I can't post outside links.
Any ideas? I've tried exploring skype settings but can't figure out what's causing it.
Thanks.

Turned out to be the "Show technical info" setting, but it was bugged or something, that's why turning it on/off didnt work. Reinstalled app, and then uncheck it again (dunno why it got checked by default) and it stopped showing it.
Thanks.
Note : This is my Mom's phone. It is not mine.
The phone (Galaxy S 2) suddenly have popups of "unfortunately" notification that keeps on looping to pop out every time i tapped ok.
The phone get extremely slow and i cant access the setting or other ui.
Lets just say that the touch screen is not working. because i cant tap other interface except the notification area.
My mom said that her contact was saved in the phone but not in the google.
So what im trying to do here is, hard reseting the phone to the stock rom but i need to backup all the contacts and I cant do so.
I tried connecting to the SAMSUNG KIES but it takes lifetime to connect.
Any solutions?
sorry for my bad english.
