[Q] Phone speaking randomly - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I woke up this morning and suddenly my Nexus started using the tts to tell me the name of apps I open and links I click on in the browser.
I've had a look round the settings a few times but can't find any way to turn this off.
Can anyone help?

I've seen this with Google Music. I've force stopped and cleared data but the problem randomly comes back and I dont know whats triggering it

For me, the best working solution is to press multitasking button and swipe away all the apps.

Thats what i did too
At first i tried to open my music, it opened my google voice instead :/ but thats the temporarily solution i suppose :/
This has not gone away. Even if I try to access messaging from the app drawer or recent app list it doesn't work. Hitting back cycles through other apps, does not help. The only way to access messaging is through the people app or through a notification.

Try rebooting it?
Like someone said, swipe away all the recent apps.

Text-to-Speech + Wifi only Notifications

Are there any working Text-to-Speech apps out yet for ICS?
Also, is there a way to only receive notifications from certain apps ONLY when a wifi connection is on? I want to save my data.
I don't see why existing TTS engines wouldn't work - I use SVOX classic on ICS, just as I did on Gingerbread.
It's only a free trial and the comments said it didn't work on ics. I'll keep searching

Received answer on wifi question. Anyone regarding the TTS? I'm wondering if I should move this question to the development thread..
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Any updates on when TTS will be available for ICS? I can't find anything on it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Google has had TTS built in for a long time. What are you trying to do... just change the voice?

Go into data usage, look at your apps that use most data an click on it. Select a limit for data usage an click restrict data. Great feature of ICS

I'm trying to have my texts read out loud to me when they come in but it doesn't work. It only works when I turn "talk back" on but then my phone speaks everything, lol.

Download Vlingo from the market. Put it in in car mode. Turn on safe reader. It'll stay on now until you turn it off. Your prayers have been answered.

In car mode is on and safe reader is on but it still won't read out loud automatically... Please help!!! Lol.. Do I have to disable ringtone or something? My default messaging application is Handcart if that makes a difference.

Handcent* Sorry

Resolved. Cleared Handcent as default messaging application to correct previous issue. Thanks for everything everyone!!!!

Action bar ghosts

I just recently noticed that when I turned my screen sideways on my sprint nexus 4G lte that you can tell where the action bar was. I can still kind of see the home symbol as well. It's like a ghost. Can I fix this? How?

You can't so just get used to it. It unfortunately is something that happens with these types of screens.

Keeping screen on while watching video on browser

I am trying to watch a streaming flash video on my Nexus using the stock browser. The phone screen keeps turning off as per its screen-off time. Is there a way to ensure that the phone does not go to sleep while watching video?

I am trying to watch a sporting event in the default Android browser. It is a flash stream. I have my Nexus hooked up to my TV through an MHL connector.I am hoping to find a way to keep the screen alive when the flash video plays.
I am on stock, but rooted.

Switch Pro has a "Keep Awake" toggle. Others probably to to.
I use wake timer.
i use screen timeout app and its perfect for me
i had that same issue and on almost every phone. i had no screen timeout i hate when the screem goes dark. when i use my phone i need it on when i don't use it i lock it no battery drainage etc.
Also keep screen on while charging in the settings is a fix too. Although a toggle is a lot more convenient.
Is there a smart stay type app for the Gnex?

Those of you who it worked for: did you clear caches or do anything special after flashing? I'm still getting the same "Bluetooth turning off..." message in the bt settings page, and I'm unable to turn it back on without a reboot.

i cleared Cache And dalvik Because i was updating CM10.1 and it worked perfectly for me.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong...I guess I could never turn off bt...if I do then I turn it on then it tries to turn on then off and then I have to reboot...tried everything...if I don't turn it off then I'm fine.....

On AoKP 4.2.2 I can connect to my MOGA controller with no hitch.. However it usually fails when I connect to the uvo system in my car.. But connects fine after a reboot..
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I can connect and play just fine but the quality is crap... wonder if this will fix that?
If you installed this patch delete all your devices and then turn bt on and off and see if it works...if it does cause that finally worked for me then add your devices one by one to see which one is compatible or not

I don't know if this will help, but I couldn't get BT to turn on, so I did some looking around and found a post that said to delete Pandora. So I deleted Pandora and rebooted, BT's been working for 2 days now no problems

Many thanks! I flashed this to CM 10.1 RC5a - had been having BT issues with it crashing or not being able to start for months.
Before flashing, I cleared Dalvik/Cache, flashed, fix permissions - after reboot, started BT and deleted all devices.
36 hours on it, no problems with car BT audio, no crashes.
Does a2dp work for anyone on cm10.1?

I fixed my blue roof problem by just going up there and painting the entire sucker red. Boom! Problem solved and haven't had an issue since. Sorry @PJcastaldo just had to do it. Couldn't help myself. :silly:
Did you ever get this sorted out? Have a friend with the same issue.
