[Q] Nexus keeps speaking to me?

Well I claim to be pretty good with phones and its not often i`m stumped on stuff like this.
I really need help though? My Nexus keeps talking to me!!
Its only on the web and some other web based apps like youtube. It will read out the letters as i`m typing into Google. It will read whole web pages to me too.
I have gone through the settings many times over. Def checked that Talkback was off. I have no idea whats making it do it.
My last Nexus did it too so I know its not a faulty handet.
Maybe an app I installed or a setting I just dont know about?
Anyone know what it is???

Take a look at accessibility. Its probably something there. Or your phone is possessed.

I noticed once I setup my google account it downloaded all my Market apps. Could you have a 3rd party app loaded which was downloaded to your last Nexus and current device which is reading the text outloud?
If you weren't sure, you could post up your list of 3rd party apps and I'm sure somebody might be able to recognize the issue?
Also, does it always happen on specific web pages or on all different web sites? perhaps you could record it and post up as somebody might recognize the voice pattern or web pages it reads?
Trying to gather more information in hopes of getting a more specific solution. Throwing out ideas .. hope that helps!

Mm true could be an app thats come across from my last Nexus. Is there an easy way to list all my apps? I have over 100 of them.
All web pages and some apps. It doesnt always speak either!
I`m trying to get it to say something it says when using some apps. I think it says "play" but i`m not too sure as I have my volume turned right down as the speaking is annoying me now...

Ok here is a video of it in the eBay app and on the net.
See what you think??

I`m sorry I dont know any other way of sharing a video.

Here is a YouTube link for my video to make it easier to view.

hmm,did you restart your phone after you turned off your setting's?
also try uninstalling all apps reboot and see if it still happens.
or do a factory reset and dont let the market download any thing.

Thanks but this wont help me find whats causing it only eradicate the issue.
I know doing this will fix it but it will come back.
I want to know whats making it happen really.
Cheers anyway.

Perhaps narrow your search down to apps you think might do this. Many apps will obviously not.

you must have accidently enable this.
its a feature of ICS. take a look.

unfortunately, i am not sure how to turn it off.

I HAD THIS ISSUE!
Drove me around the bend blurting out everything I went near on the net!
i spent about 2 hours clicking round , retracing steps, reclicking on things...suddenly it stopped.
Only thing I remember doing was opening up default.prop file in viewer out of curiosity so I did this again as well as other things and it stopped. Have you been viewing or even tinkering with any system files?
If this doesnt help try:
Go into your apps list and disable the TalkBack inbuilt app. That may mitigate the problem.

This accessibility part has something called talkback in which is turned off on mine. So not sure what else in there would cause it. ??

Ok I have disabled TalkBack app. No joy
I have not done anything to any files. Like i say it did this on my last Nexus so i`m guessing it may be an app i have installed.
Just wondering if its caused by Lightflow. That is the only app that asks for accessibilty on my phone.
Might try uninstalling.
Thanks for your suggestions anyway.

I spoke to Samsung last night and they went through some settings then said my handset is faulty!
I know its not and i arent changing it again, this is my 3rd one already!!

I had the same issue just from turning Talkback on and off... Like I really want to hear the time everytime I hit the power button ffs. I think it's fixed now (*touch wood*) but I had to screw around in the settings turning it off repeatedly to get it to stop working...

Did you just get your phone? I had the same issue when I got mine too. This wasn't just on webpages or YouTube app. This was EVERYWHERE. If I opened the app drawer, it would be like "launcher" or if I swiped to a different homescreen, it would say "screen 2" or something. I went to accessibility in the settings and turned off "Talkback". The phone stopped reading stuff to me after that.

Lmaooo!

[Q] HTCdev login problems

Does anyone else have problems staying logged into htcdev? Every time I log in, the site says I've logged in but on redirecting me to another page, logs me out.
According to their FAQ,
"Our site requires a single IP authentication, and if you are behind a more complicated network that may alter your IP depending on loading, certain features may not work as intended. We suggest you connect to our site via a direction connection, such as via a home network. We are sorry about the inconvenience and thank you for your patience."
Thing is I am at home. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Since I can't really unlock my bootloader if I can't access htcdev...

I had troubles using Chrome browser. I actually had to use IE to get it to work properly. Have you tried using a different browser?

Yes, I've tried Chrome, Opera and IE, all have the same problem.

Hmmm. Perhaps a router issue. Have you tried bypassing your router and connecting directly to your modem with ethernet cable?

I did try accessing the site from my phone and got the same problem. Also my computer isn't near the router so I can't try that.

Did you use wifi when accessing the site using your phone? If so, try using 3G with your provider ...?

Am I really the only one with this problem? I emailed HTC but they just said they would forward my comment to their technical department... Where I imagine it will be lost in bureaucratic hell for a few months...

Having the same issue. Keep saying I am not login in when I click the
"Unlock Bootloader" button but in fact I already login. I also emailed the
support but tell me to try some other time.

I take it no one has a solution?

Yes, I'm having the same problem too - Chrome, Firefox, IE on Singtel broadband.

What isp are the people on who it isn't working for?

Maybe you should make sure that your browser's cookie settings are correct. Also, if you are using a proxy, chances are, that cookies are not processed properly. Also, if your IP address constantly changes, it may cause problems logging in as well.

I'm having the same problem. I've tried Chrome, IE, Safari, Dolphin HD, etc. Nothing has worked. Its quite frustrating.

nope im havin the same prob. got hboot 1.58 so idk. get a message sayin " indicates hboot update required"

I had the same exact problem when trying to login to HTC dev. It would kick me out every time i would login. I found out that the date on my computer was wrong so i changed it and boom, it worked! Make sure that your date and time is accurate and see if it works. Hope this helps

I have been trying this on multiple computers, multiple browsers, with correct time settings I might add...and to no avail. Maybe this is there way of telling us to piss off and not mod our phones...might possibly be the last HTC I buy honestly. Great phone, but I have no way to make it better after it has hit the 1 year mark and my warranty is up.

Google Now Crashing

Hey Guys,
Google Now has been crashing recently. Specifically, when Google play launches a google search, it crashes. For instance, when I ask a question by voice, I hear Google Now answer the question partially, but before the Google search results below load, the app crashes.
Is anyone else having this problem? Do you possibly know how I can fix it?

<Deleted>

Just noticed this myself on my Nexus 7, but works OK on GNex both running trinity kernel..

same issue
I'm having this problem as well with my Nexus 7. I'm not sure what's wrong with it. it's just so frustrating. I tried to download the offline language pack but still didnt work. Like u said no other post online available for this solution yet. Wondering if many people get this.
However one thing did happen, my nexus 7 ran out of batt and turned off by itself. I then plugged it into a power source and turned it on. I run an app and suddenly some blur screen like the TV tuned out came on and all i can hear is some buzzing sound. then i plugged off the power and i charged it again and everything was alright apart from the Google Now thing!!!!!
when the batt ran out, all the memories seems to be wiped out... such as time and date.. seems strange when they built such high tech stuff and they do not have memories to keep track of time and date?!
i really hope this gets resolved soon

Working fine here, GSM.

The application crashes even when I try to access the settings menu...
Any other way to solve? I already have cleared the cache/data.
Thanks.

hey, try clearing the data/cache in chrome. and sign in again. then try loading google search again. I'm assuming it's the problem with chrome rather than google search itself.

Looks like an internet issue from your end. The page isn't loading correctly. We've had no issues like that over the past few days.
Is this still happening?

Facebook/Instagram images slow to load

Facebook images on my pixel XL randomly don't load correctly. Basically when I tab a pictures to maximize it nothing happens unless I hit back and try again. Even then it sometimes doesn't work. Occasionally the same thing will happen on Instagram but mostly on FB. Search back in this thread to see if I could find anything but didn't. Does anyone else have this happen? Could it be a ram issue? I'm trying to see if it's worth it to RMA

does this type of issue occur in any other app? have you tried browsing on chrome and seeing if images fail to display properly on it? try browsing a picture heavy site like imgur and see if any of those fail. This will let you know if it's something with the phone in general or something with those two apps.
You shouldn't have to RMA off of that you can always wipe the cache, uninstall/reinstall the app, factory image without wiping. If all that fails to fix that issue then yeah you're going to need to start that exchange process...

Yeah, I've tried everything I can think of. Reinstalling doesn't work. I was running a custom rom and just went back to stock and it seemed to fix the problem but then it just started doing it again.

It might be a bug with the Facebook app. It might also be that you installed an app that is clashing with Facebook. When you went back to stock did you do a full flash of the stock image or cheat by keeping your user data? If you did the latter you might want to do a full flash where your phone starts off completely clean. If you did the former and already started out clean you might want to contact Pixel support and see if they have any ideas.
Another possibility is to do a factory reset. I'm not sure if Facebook comes on the phone by default or not. If it does don't install any of your downloaded apps and see if the Facebook app problem returns. If it doesn't download your apps one at a time until you figure out which one is causing the problem.

I'm having that issue with my IG even after a clean flash and install of my rom and the app itself

Yeah did a full wipe including user data. I'm just trying to figure out if anybody has had this issue. I'm going to try Google support and see what they say. It's not a huge deal but it takes away from the overall experience of the phone.

my instagram is very slow, too

Pixel slow to load Twitter pics
I just got my pixel 2 XL Twitter pics are barely loading after unintall and reinstall no better. WiFi is good on all other apps. Current update uninstalled.
