I think it happened after buying the Launcher Pro Plus home screen replacement. I have since uninstalled it but depending on the app that I'm in, when I hit the soft "home" button on the phone, the system asks me which home screen application I want to use. Sense is set as the default in the application settings so I have no clue why this happens. Anyone experience this?
If sense is set as the default and launcher pro is uninstalled it should stop prompting you to choose a default have you tried a restart or a battery pull?

When that happens again and you get the prompt check the box you want it to default to and that should set it. Make sure the check box is highlighted.

I'm sure I've pulled the battery since then but I'll try again. And yes I do put a check mark in the default box when I am prompted. Funny thing is it only happens from some applications and while I'm in certain menus in certain apps. I'll see if I can pin point when it happens but it happens enough to irritate me. Shouldn't happen at all. Maybe I'll uninstall all home screen replacements and see if that stops it. Maybe if there's no choice but Sense, it will stop. If it doesn't I dont know what to do.
Just did a few more tests, Doesn't happen from the Internet app, Market but if I load up Astro it happens if I hit the home button or if I try to back myself out of the app to the home screen with the back button. However, it seems that if I place the checkmark in the default box when I'm prompted, then it doesn't happen again for that app. Strange huh? You would think this would be global but its acting as if it's per app.

yeah, the new qik update was my problem too.
My fix was to load the latest OTA. Weird huh?
I'm rooted so I don't have the latest ota update. I removed the latest qik update. Let's see if that helps

Install CM6. Fixed it for me.
the best way to replicate the problem for me is to launch an app, hold the home button while in the app, launch another app from the list, and then push the home button once.
The bug triggers when you use the recent application list by holding the home button.
I also noticed that HTC Sense would show up in the recent list ever since I update qik.
So i updated to 4.1.2, and now for some reason Talkback will NOT stay disabled or stay removed. I've tried completely removing the app from my phone, and it will still somehow enable itself after a reboot (show talkback notification). Then, since the app was "removed", I have no way of disabling it unless i reinstall the app, then reboot, then go into "Accessibility" and turn it off... Even then, there are still some features turned on, like TTS and highlighting... I've even tried disabling all TTS apps, like Google TTS, Samsung TTS, and Svox TTS... Talkback will still will turn itself on after a reboot... and YES, Driving Mode is disabled...
Anyone have any advice?
That's impossible. If you remove the application using Rom Toolbox lite and you have root access, it will not come back.

Try using titanium backup and FREEZE any apps you do not want to run, once you freeze it you will not even see it
in your app drawer. If you change your mind and want to use the app you can always un-freeze it.
Good Luck!
I've tried both uninstall and freeze... it's almost like talkback is built into the framework... I've tried just about everything possible...

I know right? It's not that the application "came back", but somehow it's being enabled even though the app has been removed... it's showing a "Talkback Enabled" notification whenever I reboot my device. Then when I go to "disable" it... I can't... because the app was REMOVED... WTF... so I'm stumped... it's almost like talkback features have been baked into the framework, and are some how being forced on...? If I can't figure out what the problem is, then I guess I'll just have to wipe and start fresh... as much as I dont want to have to do that...
I've tried to Clear Data for Talkback, and Google TTS. I've Frozen and even fully removed both Talkback and Google TTS. Yet every time I reboot, that damn "Talkback is enabled" notification is back... and it wont go away unless i go in and turn it off... Unless Talkback isn't installed, then I have to reinstall Talkback, and THEN I can disable it to remove that notification... really strange...

Weirdest thing is I did a Rom where I removed all this bloat and have never even ran into talkback. Good luck, sorry I couldn't help you.

There are some apps like the play store which you CANNOT uninstall completely or delete, yet when you go into
settings>applications you can delete or disable the updates only for the app.
Perhaps like the play store talkback is also one of those apps, if it is try to uninstall the update to talkback
and then use a app like "system app remover" which has options to uninstall system apps and an option to
FREEZE them.
So first uninstall the talkback update in settings>applications and then find it again using system app remover
and instead of trying to uninstall it freeze it using system app remover.
Other than that I have no other ideas.
Good luck!
Sounds like I might just need to wipe my phone to get this fixed... must be something totally wacked out...
OK, so i found the problem... It's another "accessibility" service I was using that was causing strange issues with Talkback. In my case it was "Pebble Watch" app that was the culprit. I disabled the services for that app, and the issue disappeared. Although... I need this app for my Pebble watch to work... so I guess I will just have to deal with "disabling" talkback every time i reboot my device...
I just don't understand how it was STILL enabling Talkback even after completely removing the app from the device... Really strange issue... My guess is that there are still some "Talkback" features built into the Framework... and somehow my "Pebble Watch" app is triggering those features...

I have the exact same issue, also did freeze and uninstall Talkback in Titanium backup and that did not help at all! The only other accessibility service I have running is Llama - after disabling it the issue disappeared - just like your with Pebble Watch. And I like Llama a lot so I will also have to kill that notification at every boot. Darn!
EDIT: It turned out in my case disabling the Llama accessibility service does not affect the app features that I use, so I'm good. Pretty annoying though.
How are you guys figuring out which apps are causing these problems.
I hate seeing that stupid icon in the pulldown every time I reboot.
Thanks

If you have ANY accessibility service enabled, you will get the persistent notification at boot. Disabling all accessibility services and then re-enabling removes the persistent notification.
I'm pretty sure at this point that Samsung developers are, quite literally, retarded.
Use Titanium Backup and free Google TTS & Samsung TTS.
OR
From App setting disable above applications.
I tried first option and the issue was gone.
Would you happen to be using Pebble app?
As others uninstalling and/or freezing didn't help. Disabling "Tasker-JB" in Accessibility killed it. Left TTS apps alone. Don't know yet if I broke Tasker. Since Llama is also a problem app, maybe it is related to Location. I do Location by sniffing WiFi AP's so maybe I'm okay. Maddening!

It doesn't break Tasker, but it will prevent it from reading to you (notifications, for instance).

Great news! I don't want it talking to me anyway.
having similar issues with LMT and Watchit for my Sony Smartwatch. I guess it's just a bug from Samsung.
Solution!
This was posted on the Android Central forums in November by Costas Andriotis. I implemented it and it works to get rid of the talkback notification on boot. You have to leave Talkback installed to disable it on shutdown though.
http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s-iii/279707-talkback-alert-wont-go-away.html#post3215875
I'm using GoLocker, MissedIt! and Tasker, and I need these enabled in accessibility.
Everytime I rebooted, Talkback was also enabled (known Samsung bug).
I solved this with Tasker + Secure Settings + Secure Settings' Helper, by creating 2 profiles:
Device Boot: Event > System > Device Boot
Tasks:
Wait: Task > Wait (10 seconds)
Flash: Alert > Flash ("Starting boot tasks...")
Enable Go Locker: Plugin > Secure Settings (Helper > Accessibility Services > Go Locker: Enabled)
Enable Tasker: Plugin > Secure Settings (Helper > Accessibility Services > Tasker: Enabled)
Enable MissedIt!: Plugin > Secure Settings (Helper > Accessibility Services > MissedIt: Enabled)
Device Shutdown: Event > System > Device Shutdown
Tasks:
Flash: Alert > Flash ("Shutting down")
Disable Talkback: Plugin > Secure Settings (Helper > Accessibility Services > Talkback: Disabled)
Disable Go Locker: Plugin > Secure Settings (Helper > Accessibility Services > Go Locker: Disabled)
Disable Tasker: Plugin > Secure Settings (Helper > Accessibility Services > Tasker: Disabled)
Disable MissedIt!: Plugin > Secure Settings (Helper > Accessibility Services > MissedIt: Disabled)
What this does, is disable all accessibility services when shutting down (because if any is active, Talkback will get re-enabled), and re-enable them (except Talkback) at boot. If you have different or additional services, you must disable them all at shutdown and re-enable them at boot.
If you reboot normally, all will be well. In case you have an abnormal shutdown, just reboot again properly.
This is a serious Samsung bug, because if you use an alternative lock screen you won't see the SIM unlock screen, and you will be effectively left without the possibility of making calls.

It might be a setting in LightFlow but have you tried to clear data in the app?. Settings > General > Apps > Light Flow and clear data..
well I uninstalled light flow, problem went away, as soon I install light flow and enable it, the problem comes back
maybe I need to root and see if root mode of lightflow works better, I have always rooted every phone I have had but I havn`t yet with the G pro
I had the same problem with the note 2 and a lot of users with the note 2 and s3 have this problem. It's not specific to the lg optimus g pro but it is something that can happen when other apps like light flow need accessibility.
I worked around it by disabling Google tts in applications and one of the Samsung voice apps (can't remember which now)
Anyway by just doing a quick Google I picked this website http://howik.com/Disable_Talk_Back_Mode_in_Samsung_Galaxy_S3 which gives clearer instructions. Don't dismiss it just by reading the first paragraph and thinking "done that" keep reading and it tells you which apps to disable
Hope it helps

Hey All,
Does anyone know a way to turn off haptic feedback for the Sense TV app. I love the app and it has since replaced my TV remote, the only thing is it vibrates pretty intensely with every button press. (Just about goes crazy if you try to go up and down quickly with the volume.) I'd like to be able to just turn it off, but have not found a way to do so. Also, I have haptic feedback turned off via the Sense settings, so I figure its a built in feature of the app that may have to be modified. Let me know what you guys think.
Also, if it matters, I'm running ViperOne and have not found a way to tweak it through there or Xposed either.
Thanks!
Check the xposed module "app settings" and revoke the permission Vibrate.
Hope this helps.

Hi -
I have the need to disable just a single app from updating from Google Playstore. On my Galaxy S4 I pull up my apps in Google Playstore, select an app, then hit the lower left button (menu button) and an option comes up to select/unselect auto-update. But on my Galaxy Tab S 8.4, that button doesn't work the same way, and nothing comes up. I also tried using Xposed Additions to program that button to a single press button that triggers menu, but that doesn't seem to trigger it either (even though it does trigger menu for some apps like Chrome).
Is there another trick to unselect auto-update?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Go to the play store, swipe right from the left side of your screen, hit settings and theres an option for auto update for all apps.
For a single app, just search the app and go to the app and hit the 3 dots on the top right.
