I have one question that I have been unable to solve myself: How do I disable the stupid clipboard function, that saves stuff that I've copied? It keeps remembering all my passwords from KeePass and I have to manually clear the clipboard.
I have tried searching for an option to disable it, but haven't found one. Even the default Samsung Keyboard has nothing related to it in settings (although I'm using SwiftKey).
Apparently that's controlled by an app called ClipboardSaveService. Not sure if you're going to be able to disable that without root though. Maybe Package Disabler will help you there, if those sort of apps still work on modern devices, haven't tried them in a while.

Did you install Light Flow?
Uninstall it then, it is a bug in that one
I had the same problems

Oh man, yeah I realized that afterwards. So are we screwed then and can't use Light Flow?
For a while i believe until the developer of the app can fix this issue, it was really nice to configure the leds for different things but folder... open folder... closed did drive me mad lol.

I found a way,just go to Apllication manager,Select All,then disable Samsung TTS. That should work perfectly(it did for me).

It's to do with Apps that go through the Accessibility library. Sony's SmartWatch App does the same thing for me: randomly activating the "folder are open..." bug. I did some searching online and it seems to be an issue with Google's OS (I was more concerned with a solution than technically understanding the problem).
I have just disabled Samsung's TTS in the hope that it does indeed kill this problem off for me (thanks for the suggestion!). However, my short-term fix that has had a 100% success rate so far has been to clear the cache of the Google TTS engine (not the Samsung one). That eliminates the problem, but it doesn't stop it from coming back. I am reluctant to deactivate the google TTS because of Navigation App use. I am hoping disabling the Samsung TTS will stop it coming back without disabling too much TTS features on the phone.
A common trigger for this is also the use of the LiteFlow App. In spite of some comments you may read, I don't think it's a bug in the App, I think it just triggers the issue in the OS, giving you the "folders are open" problem.
I personally would love a simple App that routinely clears the cache for any/all TTS Engines as soon as they become a non-zero state. For my specific issues, that might eliminate the problem without me disabling any Engines (which I figure are there for a reason). If anyone finds such an App, please post notice here.
Happy 2013 to all
My children (twin boys) have phones (samsung i5500) and I'd like to be able to remove access to the settings option, mainly to prevent them messing around with passwords which they often forget. Tried searching google etc, but not seeing a solution (or anyone else asking)
Any idea how to do this? Both phones currently stock.
Thanks
You could try one of these:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5kb21vYmlsZS5hcHBsb2NrIl0.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sp.protector.free&feature=search_result
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thinkyeah.smartlockfree&feature=search_result
Although note that Android is fairly "open" and there are probably ways around these. (I haven't tried any of them personally, nor have I tried to get around them. If your sons learn how to root the phones, they could probably easily remove any protection app you install. It may even be possible to just kill them from a task manager - you may want to block access to the Play Store also so that you must approve any apps they want to install)
EDIT: Just tried the first, seems to do the job well. I'd advise enabling the lock on "Settings" in the General tab and everything other than "incoming calls" on the Advanced tab. Haven't found anyway to get round it, so it seems to do the job.
EDIT: Having left it on my phone for a sort time, I noticed an increased battery drain (even just in half an hour). Not sure if others will be the same, or if this app always behaves like this, but if you notice battery draining quicker after installing one of these apps, you may want to try a different one.
Thanks, I've just found the same direction, it hadn't occurred to me earlier that settings was an app.
If you hit disable on settings app how do enable it back?
I posted this on the General forum a couple of days ago - obviously the wrong place since it's been ignored.
So, trying again here, ....
I downloaded the app QuickSpell from MobiSytems.
To use it for everything, I select QuickSpell for the Spell checker in the Android Language & input settings. When I reboot, the setting reverts back to the Android default.
When I choose QuickSpell, I get a warning dialog that says that what I type, including passwords & credit card numbers, may be captured & used for nefarious purposes... OK, not quite that phrase, but basically that gist. I have to select OK in order for the setting to change.
I power down then back up, then look at the Spell checker setting: it's back to the Android default. Something else also resets: the Google voice typing setting re-enables itself. I have no clue about that either.
I've tried disabling the Dictionary Provider app before rebooting... the setting is back to the default. I haven't been able to figure out what generates the warning message, nor if there is any other app that could be disabled to help.
My Nexus 10 is mostly standard: Android 4.2.2 (the latest update), the Nova launcher and Lookout Premium as my security app. I know that that us not the problem, even though it does scan for privacy data access. I've emailed their support & gotten a reply saying that they do not change anything, just do their scans and report the results to let the user decide what to do.
I've emailed MobiSystems support & gotten nothing back but an automated reply.
Any suggestions for what to try to either make the setting sticky, or to track down the culprit so that they can tell me how to make it sticky?
Also, what is the easiest-to-use, best keyboard app for Android systems. I really hate this default one. (QuickSpell does help by learning enough to correct the most obvious of my typing mistakes.... now if it can learn what to do when I hit the N or B keys instead of the space bar so wordsbrunbtogethetnlikebvnthis....)
Thanks for your help!

Hi there, I have a old samasung galaxy s3 that I gave to my girlfriend to use for pokemon go but the flashlight on it keeps randomly going on and off even when using it normally and even when it's not in use, is there any way to permanently disable it in system files? I know it's not a app causing it or the custom rom as I've put a lot of different roms on it with the same result so it must be damaged somehow
I don't know, if you can disable it with system file, but if you are familiar with programming, you can write Xposed Module which hooks android Flashlight Turn On method and disable it. On the other hand it looks like physical problem which can't be solved with software.
Ok i don't know if this the right forum but i looking to give out to a few workers phones that have no internet access at all (i only want them to use if for calls and SMS - i not going to explain why i want it that way). i'm looking for an easy way to disable the network altogether.
i've got a GT-S6310 SAMSUNG. i tried an idea that i got into the platform.xml file (with the RomToolBox app) that is located in the etc/permission folder and erased the internet line>save and then restart and it worked. but there many problems like apps that crashed without even opening theme like google services.
i'm looking to just erase or change one file in the system to get to my goal. i'm sure that there are very specific files that are critical for the internet to work and if they are disabled or changed the internet access would go down. please help
