Notification Toggle & TTS

Hello!
This thing happened to me when I had the Huawei U8800 too.
After I install Notification Toggle as a service (on Accessibility Menu, so I can use some features), every time I open a browser (stock one, Chrome, Dolphin, etc.), TTS starts reading everything. I tried with SVOX TTS and stock one.
It happened to me with ICS, now with JB it's happening too.
It's very weird, i've searched all the forum and all the web but no luck.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance and best regards

Go into accessibility settings and disable talkback..actually, just disable that entire section..it's for sight/hearing impared
Android is upgrading...

I have that disabled. However, to some functions of notification toggle work, I have to activate notification toggle on acessibility. But all other accessibility functions are disabled...

I didn't like that one personally. Try power controls. It doesn't talk to you.or maybe disable the talk function under apps.

You can enable/disable some functions instead of going to its settings

The only way I've been able to fix this is by disabling Google text-to-speech engine in settings, apps, all apps. Deleting talkback by itself alas does nothing to stop the talking...

Yes, but as I use TTS system to navigate with Google Maps, I have to have it on... In fact I use SVOX Classic, but it's the same. So it's some problem with Notification Toggle...

actually, that's not correct. the accessibility service is only needed on Android 4.0 (not on 4.1 or any other version) to keep the notification above all other notifications

if you're not on ICS, there is no reason for enabling that service

that's when the app is installed in /system/app (see here: http://vps201.fra05-inx03.webhod.de/thomas/j4velin_development/dl-root.php?app=nt) and has nothing to do with the accessibility service
also i posted a workaround here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28842919&postcount=776 which seems to work for some devices. as this is a bug in the android system, i can not fix anything in my app

I think lightflow causes the same issue, gotta be something to do with the way they access the accessibility service menu

A temporary fix is to clear the cache of the Google TTS Engine, which is perhaps less inconvenient than disabling it if you use TTS features sometimes (Navigation comes to mind?).
Disabling it does seem to be 100% successful for me, but I don't want to do that if I can avoid doing so (I am using a Note II, not S3).

Swype

Swype is not working on GN with 4.1.2 after the update to 1.3.
Is it just me or others are experiencing the same?

It's a known problem.
The solution so far is turn off any apps like lightflow in settings > accessibility.

Working for me just fine.
Stock 4.1.2
Rooted

To fix it you need either go to the Settings / Accessibility - and then turn off all apps that is listed under Services (like LightFlow for example).
Or disable the stock Android Keyboard. Just go to the Apps / All / Android Keyboard - and disable it, also force stop it. Then it is important to restart your phone.
Now you will have Swype selected and working as you main keyboard.

I don't like any of the new themes, an improvement over the old ugly swype but I think I will stick with my old themed swype for now.

anyone has the old .apk version of Swype???

Not a good idea to ask that on here... Hey I think your pm box might have a new message.

Thank you VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH!
You saved my day.
Thanks.

Thanks to gtbarry
temporary fix....
- Settings > Apps > All
- Disable Android Keyboard
- Reboot phone
- Select Swype
In this manner I am currently able to run both Lightflow and Swype.

[Q] Enabling autocorrect on S4?

Does anyone know how to enable autocorrect on the S4 (T-Mobile)? I have looked in every setting and can't find it. I found the predictive text option and enabled that, but that doesn't autocorrect when you hit a space or punctuation. Is there any solution other than installing a 3rd party keyboard from the play store?

Yea same here

try that or there are more apk here on forumhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966336 such as this 1

In S4 it is called auto replacement.
Go to:
1.Settings
2.My device (tab, at the top)
3.Language and Input
4.Select the set up icon beside Samsung Keyboard
5.Now, touch Predictive text, don’t touch/select the green toggle switch
6.Finally select Auto replacement tick box

That option for "auto replacement" isn't available in those settings.

I feel for you... that was one of the main things about Swype that I liked. Guess what, Swype is already on the s4. Language and input options. I think it dies a better job than the Samsung keyboard. The only thing I am going to miss is the extra number row in the Samsung keyboard which Swype doesn't have.

Auto replacement isn't on USA s4s because of an apple lawsuit if memory serves me right. You can flash some libs and the apk to get it from the international but its supposed to be laggy. Try Google keyboard in play store

[Q] S-Voice

Is there anyway to disable S-Voice?
Looked in settings and I can't find anything.
S-Voice seems to have a mind of it's own.
It starts by itself and it can be quite disturbing in the wrong setting.
I am not rooted and don't feel confident enough to root.
Thanks,

Its classed as a system app, so there is no way to uninstall it if you havent rooted. You can use apps such as titanium backup to do so if you have rooted though.
If not, you should be able to find it in settings > application manager > all > s voice > disable
I uninstalled it so cant confirm it that second option i suggested will work.

I disabled it in app manager like heartsjonmon says above. I haven't seen it since, thank God. I used to accidently hit the home button through the cover and set it off while I was carrying it. I am so glad that annoyance is gone! What was Samsung thinking!?!

Actually looking back at my posts it looks like I just unchecked everything in the s Voice menu and that alone seems to be enough. I can't even find the app in my app manager. If you look at my posts, you will find two other suggestions that other people made top disable it too which should also work.

Problem With Keyboard Default

Can someone please tell me how I can get the Samsung keyboard to stop commandeering my phone? I set the default to Swiftkey and use it for whatever I'm currently doing, then the next time I need to type, the Samsung keyboard is back as the default.
I'd just delete the Samsung keyboard if I knew how, but I can't see a way to do it.
Thanks!

I thought of that, but unfortunately, since upgrading my OS my normal rooting method no longer works, and I'm still waiting for a program upgrade.

Thanks a lot. I just finally got a chance to try this, and it doesn't work (unless I'm missing something again). In Language and Input settings, Samsung keyboard is checked and grayed out so that I can't uncheck it. In application manager, when I select it, the Disable button is grayed out.
It looks like Samsung is set on forcing me to use their keyboard.

I had the issue with the default keyboard resetting on reboot on TW roms. Paid apps don't become available until after the keyboard is set. I'm on pacman now and it stays as default regularly.
It never reset after each use though.

U probably have to have another keyboard selected as default before you're able to do this. Is your phone rooted?
