This is a well known bug in several Samsung models. It happens when you install an app that has access to accessibility or LED controls, and who knows what else.
I have a SmartWatch app which requires Accessibility to be turned on. I also have the SwitchPro widget which can turn on the LED flash, which makes matters worse.
The ONLY way to get rid of this problem is to disable all TTS (Text to speech) services and applications. Go to Settings --> Applications manager --> scroll right to "ALL" --> Disable "Google Text-to-speech Engine" and "Samsung TTS". If you are using 3rd party TTS apps, like Ivona, you'll have to Force Stop these apps as well. Which is a really bummer because I like to listen to my books using TTS using ReadBoox.
I'm hoping Samsung will fix this in their future updates.

Really thanks for answered.
F****** sammy.
:what:
Always love my note 2

Another way to at least temporarily get rid of this is to clear the cache of the TTS Engines. The darn bug comes back, and it's a bit of a nuisance, but you may be missing features of your phone if you disable it completely (Navigation?). It's NOT a permanent fix: disabling the Engines is.

what actually are u asking???
jsss set up ur account everything works.. if you are looking for commands...get everything over here
Google Now Commands
Google Now works with network (and GPS) on all the time. To activate, long press home button and 'G' point (the middle button), use menu and parameter, here you can active google now. You must also activate Search history in your google account or google now parameter.
After you activate google now, on parameter you have new entry for what to use.
Google now is a sort of assistant, he can show you the wheater based on your location, the next appointment based on the calendar, the next show, based on your internet search, and so on.
But there is no widget, so it's as useful as it's intend to be.
When i want to send email,,nothing,,google now just open google search with text ..send email etc...So how to send emails with voice?
Tnx
In fact for me works only google search with voice and weather card.

Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
There are 2 locations I changed the language:
1. Go to system settings > Language and Input > Language > choose English US
2. When in Google Now press Menu > Settings > Voice > Language > choose English US

Try AIVC (Alice) from google play its free it works exactly the same as s voice but I think its much better it does what your after and sends emails or sms or makes calls sets alarms checks weather etc all by your voice.
Just install it and double tap the home key to activate.
Anygood?

Group MMS and Other Hidden Gems in Android 4.2 (on a Galaxy Nexus)

Well, There's a working Group MMS option in the stock messenger. Oh my GOD is this great! :good:
Anyone else find anything worth reporting?
Miracast is obviously not included on the GNex ROM as I doubt it has the hardware to support it.
I'm not sure if it was there before but I noticed that you can disable system apps now. Just go to Settings -> Apps -> All and select an app from there. If its a system app, the "Uninstall" option becomes "Disable". In my case I'm not using Currents and Google Talk so I had them disabled. Now they are hidden and don't show up in the App Drawer.
*EDIT: NVM. Apparently "its been there since forever" as the guy below replied to me.
*EDIT2: Ok. I've read that the feature to "disable" system apps was slightly improved in 4.2. Before, you need to uninstall updates first before you can disable a system app. Now you can disable system apps directly without the need of uninstalling the updates first. That was the reason I thought disabling system apps is new in 4.2. When I was in 4.1.x I just see the "Uninstall Updates" button.

It's in Settings > Display and the options are Clock, Colours, Currents, Photo Frame, Photo Table (this is very nice and interactive).
You also have the following options for when to daydream; while docked, while charging and either.

Not seeing this option.... it it ROM specific, or tied to the GAPPS? Running BAMF Paradigm, with 4.2 GAPPS

I was just going to post about this. Lol.
I think there are minor aesthetic changes, as well. When you are in messaging, compose a message and are choosing a recipient from your contacts there is now shading underneath the box with the recipient. I don't think this was in 4.1.2 or lower. The font also seems a little bolder in the messaging threads, most notably for me with the font being set to small.
Does the group messaging work with other platforms (iPhone, Blackberry, WP7/8)? In other words, did they finally decide to bake in threaded MMSes into 4.2?

Best and unexpected thing I found (and the ONLY reason I stay on 4.2 now)
- Active call (phone) now works in LANDSCAPE mode - so you no longer look like an idiot when you have a carmount and need to tilt your head 90 degrees!!!!!!!!!!

Are you sure you haven't got talkback enabled its different to talk
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
theres an app called chat heads or something like that, that enables facebook like notifications to whatsapp and other programs.
Thats guaranteed to enable talk back even if is off. Check what you installed lately, probably its an app that does the same.
LOL
That's some high tech Note 2 you got there.
Talking to you and stuff. :cyclops:

[Q] Experiencing slight bugs with photo gallery (HELP)

To all who care, (none of you), this is my first post on the xda forums! Cheers! :good:
Anyways, I'm having some bugs/ issues with my photo gallery on my Samsung Galaxy s4.
As I enter into the gallery interface, the gallery freezes for about 7 seconds, then I get a pop-up message reading "Unfortunately, text-to-speech has stopped." I click the "okay" button, and make an attempt to click on an image, then the same issue happens yet again.
Yes, I am rooted. I also deleted a few bloat-ware apps.
Any suggestions as to how I could get this resolved?
Welcome to xda,
I stopped using the stock gallery app with the mytouch 3g. I use quickpic. I know it doesn't answer your question, but it's a work around
I think the text to speech is caused by another app like lightflow or dynamic notifications...something that uses the accessibility settings.
Alrighty, thanks!

[Q] Prevent Apps from Auto Updating in Google Play

Hello. I searched XDA beforehand, but couldn't find any definitive answer.
I love the old Facebook Messenger version 2.7.2. Primarily, just for the SMS integration. It's awesome!
I don't want to update the the latest Facebook Messenger, because it no longer support the SMS integration.
I'm trying to prevent auto updating, but to no success. It keeps on UPDATING.
I've tried (1) set Google Play NOT to update (2) In Titanium Backup, I "detached" from the Market.
Non of these seems to work.
Any suggestion would greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

In the play store under settings cut off auto update
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
The settings help for any new app you download. If apps were already automatic, I had to go into each app press setting button then uncheck auto update. This was a few versions back of play store, I don't know if it has been corrected.
Set your settings to not auto update then check a few apps to see if they got updated. I would be curious to know if it works now.
