Okay so I have had this for a few weeks, I use the Google launcher on my honor 7 but when my phone turns off it defaults to the huawei launcher, I have changed the default launcher back so many times it is irritating me.. can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong... I am freaking good at tech but this has stumped me... I tried completely disabling the launcher too and it will not allow it... Anyone know what I can do?

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?
I have a Samsung Galaxy Blaze 4G, running Android 2.3.6, but I don't think this question is all that device-specific. If it is, someone will let me know.
I'm pretty new to Android.
This phone is rooted. I didn't install any custom ROM, however. I rooted it only to be able to use SetCPU and to be able to freeze/block some things, which I did successfully. This is where the problem starts.
I used a program called Gemini App Manager to block certain things from running. I had installed Launcher 7 and was using it for a couple of months. Today, I decided to return to TouchWiz for a while. I had blocked the TW files for some reason, but I used Gemini to unblock them. Or so I thought. I went through the motions of doing so, but didn't actually check to see if the unblocking worked. Apparently it didn't. Not knowing this, I uninstalled Launcher 7 from the phone and rebooted.
Now I can't get past the Samsung splash screen. It appears that TW wasn't unblocked, and with Launcher 7 gone, there's nowhere for it to go.
Yes, I'm an idiot. Let's get that out of the way first. The question is: Is there any way to fix this?
just reflash rom using samsung's official tool for updating software.

If you want, I'll get you a launcher app and you can flash it. It will be the stock Jelly Bean launcher though Or at least my modified version of it

Yes there's a way to solve it, however, you need to have USB Debugging enabled... You can install another launcher via ADB, and that way access again to your apps/files. IF you need a guide, ask me, I'll do one for you
Can't you install a launcher from the Play Store on your computer to your phone...?
The problem is solved, thanks to help offered here and elsewhere.
I was able to install Go Launcher using ADB, although to do so I had to "wipe data" from the manual boot screen first. When this was done, and the phone rebooted, TouchWiz was back; I didn't even have to do anything with Go.
I'm sticking with TW for now. It works fine for my purposes. I had been using Launcher 7 for a few months, after having a WP device. I had also read that Launcher 7 was easier on the battery. I don't know if this is true; I've read so many conflicting things about launchers and battery life. In any case, TW is fine at least until ICS comes through; then I'll see what I want to do.
I had to re-root after the above operations, so that I could continue to use SetCPU.

I'm glad, but one last question, why did you have to wipe data?

I don't know. Doesn't make any sense to me either.
Hello everyone!
I have been using Nova Launcher Prime for many years now, and for the first time I am getting against an issue which drives me nuts.
I currently own two Huawei devices (P10 Lite and Mate 10 Pro) and both of them seem to have issues when using widgets on Nova.
I know stock widget may not work on Nova, but I am simply trying to import and use what I have always used in the past years: google widgets (calendar, home) + provider widget and so on.
None of them seem to work flawlessly: some of them won't load at all or display in a corrupted way (at any size), some others just keep saying "loading" and never load their data (such as google calendar or any other calendar).
I don't have any clue. How can I solve that?
Thank you in advance.
stock calendar says loading for me when switching between privatespace and regularspace. i started using google calendar instead and it works fine.
shame huawei cant get their own apps working on their own devices lol
The point here is that i am having the same issue with any widget/calendar.

Its a known fault. There's another thread on here about the matter. Only thing to do is wait for an update to fix it from Huawei.

Hello everybody!
Ever since I bought this phone (Pixel 6) the assistant has never worked. Considering this is a Google phone, one would assume it would work no issue but joke is firmly on me!
I have been researching and have seen mixed messages from many websites where some users have the issue, others no issue! I have seen some people say to reinstall the Google App (tried this, didn't work) and other people said to completely restore to factory which I don't want to considering the hassle of getting everything back in order.
Does anybody have anything else I might be able to try?
Thanks in advance

I have seen this happen with a different launcher installed. It happen with me using Nova launcher back in the beginning of using the P6. Nova fixed the issue a week after people complained.

No the Browser should not block it.
But since you brought up the Brave Brower.
Did you disable Chrome?
I think the assist only works with Chrome. I am not a100% sure.
I am going to step aside and let someone else help. I really am just guessing at this topic.

I didn't disable it, I just never used it.
I did open it just now and tried to use the assistant with it and it didn't crash immediately. You might be on to something.
Maybe I am missing something though, if it was a browser based issue, why would that impact my ability to open say Spotify or "check the weather".
Maybe it's some other Google system/service I am after breaking?

I use Duck Duck Go browser.
I have tried the Brave browser a few months back for a short time.
Side note; I use Brave browser on my pc, because edge gives me trouble with networking for my smarthome devices and nas.
I am also having this issue after rooting and modding a few things. Reverted the changes but I am still having the issue. Updating Google App and downloading Google Assistant doesn't seem to do the trick either. Anyone with some insight into the issue know what's going on?
quick update - I installed Alexa to see if that would work, and it too doesn't appear to like me
Starting to think its a service based issue instead of a particular app.
Anybody who has guidance please chime in
Are you completely stock, no custom rom, kernel, Magisk mods?
Alexa will increase your four letter vocabulary to a new level.
Do you have the assistant set to more than 1 language? For me having the assistant set to English and dutch causes it to constantly.
I figured out for me it was dozing google play services
so, update on this. Firstly, I only have it using the one language.
Secondly, I got an update yesterday for the google app from the playstore and it appears to have fixed whatever the problem was!
