[Q] accessibility issue for gear s - Samsung Gear S

Hi guys and gals. I'm new here but I have reading your posts and really enjoy the info. I,just bought the gear s. Upon going through the settings I tapped the accessibility bar. There's an option for reading alerts aloud. I hit that by accident. Now the phone will not scroll on the app menu. It goes halfway and stops. It's like frozen. So in order for me to do a reset I need to get to the bottom of the app screen but it will not scroll. So I did a rebooting reset with the power button and returned it to factory but as soon as I choose the reading option it still does the same thing. Has anyone encountered this. I love the watch but even though I may not use that accessibility feature I am afraid that I may encounter other issues down the road. Thanks in advance for any insight.

I would try, but I don't want to reset my device. Sorry

No problem I appreciate the response. I picked up a new one from verizon. I went to best buy and the display gear s did the same thing. So maybe it just needs a update.

Display Pop Up Notifications?!?

I performed a search on here and find lots of posts about how to turn them on but nothing discussing the issue I'm having which is that they keep turning themselves back off. It's driving me insane!!!
I have a Touch Pro with Sprint. I go into settings and enable all notifications to display on the screen for new reminders, email, sms, etc. I've done both soft reset and no soft reset after enabling them and it doesn't seem to matter. After a few days the notifications checkmarks have seemed to uncheck themselves and the pop up notifications stop working. Then I have to go in a re-enable them all. I've gone through this about 10 times in the last two weeks and it's wearing on my last nerve.
Does anyone know what is causing this and more importantly know how to fix it once and for all? Is there something in the registry that keeps making it default back to no popup notifications that I need to change?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Other than this issue I love the phone!
I have noticed 2 things with the new Sprint TP:
1. They work better after a hard reset. More stable and faster.
2. There are some programs I tried out that were written for the diamond (i.e. advance config). They have caused some unwanted side effects, like not keeping settings I had intended (i.e. hardware button tap sounds always turned themselves off etc.).
If you have any of those programs on your TP, one of those might be the culprit.
Either way, I would suggest a hard reset and then (if applicable) installing each program and seeing if it's messing things up.
As follow up, it appears that Advanced Config is the culprit. I uninstalled it, reset all of my notifications to display on screen and finally did a soft reset. Popup notifications are still working strong for almost a week now!
Thanks!

Hangs for a brief moment when clicking on Settings

Hi,
I just purchased the LG G Watch (my first watch in more than a decade!) and am impressed overall. There is one bug which is bothering me. When I swipe down from the top to access the options there and swipe towards the right to finally reach 'Settings', and then click on it, my watch hangs for a brief moment. It brings me back to the watch face where the second and minute hands do not move at all. I again have to swipe down and go back and click on settings to actually gain access to Settings, and after that it works fine.
Anyone else suffering from this weird behaviour?
Thanks
Yes happens to me too, it's a bug.
Had hoped latest update would fix it, but no.
It's been reported numerous times in the android wear forum.

Talkback notification

Hi,
When i push the notification, I'm sent to into accessibility settings, here i can't see talkback anywhere. I have pushbullet and Dashlane asking for accessibilityll. I have turn galaxy talkback on and off. But no matter What i do the icon is there. There's no voice annoying me- just the alert. Does anybody else have this problem or possible solutions?

I have the same issue as well. Samsung even remotenaccessed phone and they couldnt fix it.
I did a factory reset some days ago and it went away. But last night i did a reboot and then blam it was back.
I factory reset as well. Luckily It has not come back. I have been making notes of updates or changes that I make to determine what causes this. The first time I noticed this was the second day I had the phone. I decided to register more fingerprints. When I did some b1tch started telling the percentage. After that I could not get talkback notification to go away.
This time I setup all my fingerprints immediately after resetting the phone. I will keep everyone posted if I determine what caused it.

Haunted Honor 7

I am experiencing some issues with my PLK-L01 device: from time to time, the phone take over control by itself ans opens random apps I have installed, or opens chat windows etc. Today, while i was browsing Instagram, it started to open and to hit the Like button on random photos on this platform!!
I only have this phone since Christmas and noticed this problem when it started to close the apps I was using. But now it's getting worse. I think a virus is out of the questions, since I only download apps from Google play store and only the popular ones..
Please advise!
Many thanks in advance.

have you tried to do a factory reset?
also, enable "show touches" in the developer settings. If the phone shows touches that you havent made, then the screen is faulty
Hi Themegaphoenix,
Thank you for your time and help!
I did not reset the phone, because I noticed the issue since the second day of the phone usage, so I guess a reset wouldn't quite fix this.
Could you expand on the "show touches" topic, please? Where exactly do I find those settings and if I enable it, will I risk losing the warranty or something?
Thank you & have a great day.

[Q] Can't Activate Car Mode

Just got my Honor 5X, but previously tested the GX8 and saw the same issue. Have also tested across stock Android, TouchWiz, and Sense, and confirmed this is an EMUI issue, so I'm hoping someone can help me fix it or work around it.
I use CarHomeUltra while driving, and the app can start/stop Car Mode, so that while active, pressing the home button takes you back to CarHomeUltra, instead of your normal homescreen.
The problem is, when this option is chosen, I get an error message that Car Mode cannot be activated because "Android HwResolver" is the default, and that I need to clear the defaults. However, when I go to "Android HwResolver" in the App settings, the "Clear Defaults" button is greyed out, indicating that there are no defaults.
This is *really* annoying, and I'm hoping someone can help.
I'm not currently rooted, but am comfortable rooting if that's the best way to resolve this.

Hi Ricky, thanks for reporting this issue. I have escalated it to the honor software team.

I'm glad I found this thread. It's not exclusive to the Honor 5X. I'm using a Mate 8 (AL10) 128gb model on T-Mobile and run into the same issue. I typically have been closing it out, anytime the prompt comes up, but seems like a Huawei thing more-so than specific to a model.
Probably in the kernel. Pry-fi (which changes your Mac address) also seems to have some problems. So does the pcap_loop command.

Same problem with P8Lite! Any news from the software team? Thanks
Sorry for my massive editing!
I use Car Home Ultra on my Honor 8 and ran into the same issue, albeit only after installing Android Auto.
Try this:
Install a second app that 'accesses' Car Mode.
Go through the setup process if applicable.
When prompted choose your preferred app as default.
I did this with Car Home Ultra as my main app and Android Auto as second. I was prompted for the default app a couple of times upon exciting Car Home Ultra, but finally it seems to work.
