Does anyone know of a browser that will allow me to drag and drop for certain websites or know of a way to do it. I'm trying to drag an image then put it into a certain spot but I've tried several different ones to no avail. I'm on a rooted S3 and also an S4 both Sprint. I posted a screenshot of what I'm trying to do. Thanks for the help.

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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnw8vh9y36Q&feature=player_embedded
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!

Hey guys like the title says, I can't request desktop sites. Every time I do request it I get a T-Mobile page telling me to make my phone a mobile hotspots. I usually don't oaks around the forums and search for my answers but I just couldn't find one this time haha. Anyone gone through this and fixed it? Thanks in advanced.

Just got it yesterday... it sucks. I'm hoping someone figured it out.
I searched and found something about T-Mobile just looking at uag string or something like that and assume its tethering because of that.
I think martinokaj (or close to that) mentioned it and for him it just left couple weeks later. He tried contacted T-Mobile but it didn't help at all.

Weird. I haven't had this issue with T-Mobile.

So maybe if I wait a couple of weeks or a billing cycle it'll stop doing this? I might just try calling T-Mobile see if they can so anything ...

Stock browser?
Sigh... they're still doing this.
Basically, T-Mobile rudimentarily checks to see if people are tethering by filtering user agents. They assume that if you're on the phone you'll always have a phone UAstring, and if you're on the desktop you'll always have a desktop UAstring.
Obviously this isn't true... this is the stock ICS browser and you can effectively change your UAstring to get desktop sites. Many other browsers in the market do it too.
Basically you can try to call and ***** them out. I dealt with this mid last year on my G2 because they started spamming me with this on the stock browser and my computer. I can change my UAstring manually on the computer (with a spoofer on Firefox) but its not so easy to change the UAstring and still get desktop pages on the phone.
Long story short of me talking to them and going through many levels/days of support, they claimed to not understand the problem/not be aware of this issue. Even with sending them screenshots of the problem on my phone. Eventually I just dealt with it and a few weeks later it just stopped.
I'm not sure of any other way to deal with this honestly. I suggest you either just wait it out and let it stop, or call in and get several levels up in support.
If you want, you can dig up a thread in the G2/DZ forum where another user and I got to the bottom of how they're doing this. But the basic thing is they think you're tethering for having a desktop UAstring.

Thanks a lot for this, I'll just wait it out to see if it goes away and call if it doesn't...
Have u tried using a different browser? Not sure if this would help cause it sounds like a T-Mobile thing. I use dolphin which has an add on to show desktop sites. Just a suggestion. Glad I have Verizon as I've never had this issue.
Does it do it on dolphin hd?

They're filtering all traffic identified as a desktop UAstring. Doesn't matter the browser.
is this even possible? I tried connecting to my friends iphone, it shows a notification on both our phones to accept and whatnot with the passkey, like normal, but it says on his end not connected. Is this even possible to do?
bump
I tried that as well with my wife's Iphone and my E4GT. Don't think the IOS and android want to talk to one another.

Just out of curiosity, what are you trying to accomplish? I tried doing this to a friend's phone after seeing your post and I didn't have any luck but there might be another way of doing what you're trying to do (or I could've just been doing something wrong)...
I am pretty sure i read that iphones can only connect to other iphones via bluetooth of course with the exception of headsets. Stupid apple...
I just googled this and came across this web page. Looks like you can install the BUMP app on both phones and it uses the bluetooth to transfer files between devices. Good luck

trying to play NBA JAM via Bluetooth. Any ideas?
Ok so everyone says this is a great phone, but at the moment I really miss my S2 International
My S3 is constantly freezing up, toggling wifi, just all around slow. Like I can go make a pot of coffee half the time while im waiting for an app to load.
Some info on what im using. Phone was koodo and is now unlocked and running on fido. I got phone second hand and when booted into recovery it shows dead droid (phone is not rooted or anything to my knowledge, verified with root checker) my main apps of use are chrome youtube tasker utter bbm and facebook. So I am very frustrated as my S2 seems to have been twice the phone this is. Please help me fix this as it cant be right!
I suggest flashing a stock rooted ROM rather than trying to fix the existing ROM.

I live in a remote area and dont currently drive. And most people nowadays are quite skeptical of you downloading programs etc. On their computer. So I do know a couple of people with computers, but either will not let me install odin or I cant get there. been keeping eye out for one on kijiji and other classifieds. Mainly as I use many things like tasker etc that would work alot better with root, busy box, Xposed framework etc.
My samsung galaxy s3 only shows me Egde network. I have searched seriously within it for a place to switch from edge to 3g or 4g all to no avail. Pls is there any hidding method to do this?
And again, i tried connecting the phone through usb to my pc to move my backed up apps into it, after installing the drivers my pc couldnt show me the phone.
I just want to know if my phone is faulty and if i should send it back to the dealer because i just purchased it today.
Check to make sure the imei matches the one on the sticker under the battery.

I have faced same problem and I know exact solution. I cannot share here its illegal.. because it involve with NV data
Don't go straight to messing with the NV data though. Many times its not necessary and if it can be fixed without touching the NV Data, it is much, much better to leave it alone.
I've fixed hundreds and hundreds of these issues here, both when it requires writing to the NV Data and when it does not, and many didn't have to touch the NV to begin with, but did anyway and ended up causing even more problems we had to fix. (I've even run into a few where someone did something wrong and permanently screwed up the device!)
All I'm saying is be careful and don't dive into the NV data unless absolutely necessary.
