[Q] Why is my Phone Talking When I Select Home Pages by Pinch to Select?

Talk back is disabled. Just out of paranoia and annoyance, I enabled it and then disabled it.
This happened after I installed Light Flow, but, I seriously doubt the two are related.

It is related, same thing happened to my phone. Disable Light Flow and the talking stops... I sent them an email, but never heard a response.

Wow, ok. I'll send them an email too.

Here's how I got it to stop (annoying I know but it's the only way to stop it without it coming back!) it happened even after i uninstalled light flow!, also with deleting the data on the Google text to speech engine /samsung tts, worked but the problem returns after a while.. So here's what yu do.. Go to settings - accessibility - and make sure ALL services are OFF, then your problem will go away! I think this is also happening with other apps besides light flow that use accessibility as other users have reported... but I can't confirm as I noticed it also after installing light flow.. But I can say that even after un installing the application (light flow) the problem was still there.. You'll also notice this same problem when you open and close a FOLDER... Hope I helped you

So then, I'll be stopping light flow from working if I turn off the service, right?

Yes- if you stop all the services, then your stopping Light FLow, so this answer does get the voices (on your phone, not in your head) to stop, but doesn't answer the question of how to keep Light Flow and disable the voice...

[APP] 'Data Lock' : unplug 3G while the screen is off

Hi
I'm not a developper but I created an app with the Tasker App Factory that unplug 3G one minute after you lock your screen. The one minute delay is here to prevent the phone plugging and unplugging at any time the screen goes off. During this delay, if you wake your device, the process will stop and begin again when you turn the screen off. When the screen is off, after the 1 minute delay, 3G is stopped while the phone is in your pocket to prevent battery drain
Once it is stopped, if you wake the device a new 5 second delay is started, for those who just want to check the clock , and then the 3G is plugged with a ''Data restarted'' toast
Note : Tasker IS NOT required to use this apk :victory:
Feel free to request any modification like the delay or the toast text, I'm here to share such things. And if it helped, don't forget the :good: button

Sorry but 2G/3G toggle doesn't work on stock 4.2.2 (my actual rom) which mean I can't use it with Tasker

We need tasked installed right?

cpu usage
Your app gave me a watchdog alert as it's using more than 50% CPU. This would counteract any benefits as eating CPU results in battery drain.
It also uses 15.3 mb of ram when its role is simple and in no way justifies the ram/CPU usage.

Going to try this as I am tired of manually switching to 2g all the time.

It seems to be using more juice than saving it.
Shows up as 2nd highest draining source after screen.

You seem to be right... That's too bad because I use tasker 24 hours a day with many profiles and tasks and it saves my battery!

Thank you, but, you know, I'm not a dev, I just like the app tasker and they propose to transfer their context into apps. I'm absolutely not able to do what you're expecting (yet)

Battery discussion

On 4.4.4 I used to be able to get 5-5:30 ost but since updating it to lollipop and beyond I nearly get 4-4:30 I want to know if anybody els has been getting this issue or how to fix it and yes all the bells and whistles are turned off

Are you using freeza Beastmode kernel? Are you on the OG5 modem? These have been my most recent bumps in battery capacity; the biggest since KitKat actually.

Heavy usage today but ready to plugin and charge for tomorrow. The usage for apps shown is a bit higher than usual but the overall stats and SOT are darn good. Running OB7/OB7 bootloader/ customized with Xposed/OG5 modem and Beastmode kernel. Maybe the improved battery comes from the OG5 stuff.

Debloated ROM, freeze or delete apps that waste away at the battery, use auto brightness. Look for apps that wake excessively. Have you tried L Speed Mod? It will make Google Services behave. I use that with default settings, dump third party apps' cache and browser cache (including Google Play and Google Play Services) every 12 hours on a schedule and use an app by chain fire called recently to keep apps from running so much unneeded. Watch for rogue or faulty apps in the Xposed error log. Source close browser and other apps that like to keep running with back to kill app and use an ad blocker.
But really I think it has more to do with being indoors mostly on Wi-Fi and using Wi-Fi calling that gets those results. I have to credit the 5.1.1 kernel and modem too. OB7 wasn't always this good.
Half screen brightness would most likely to bright for me. What's wrong with auto brightness? It may save you some battery.
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

I used to do a lot of that disable things I didn't need like s voice and bloat but for some reaons I didn't reason calls or text and I credit that to all the mods I did with the phone so I haven't really moded in a while but since then I get bad battery life, and no I used to use auto brightness but then afew days ago I realized whats the point of not enjoying your phone how you want to. But dam you sure do a lot, none of that has any negative impacts>?

Not really. I go with what works. Some users just aren't happy with some things and change this and that until more content with it.
Sent from my SM-N910P using Tapatalk

i did everything you said , got recently and also l speed rom, put the freza kernel. but my question is how do you put a scheduler? and how do you find out which apps run in the back round? if you uninstall google apps and apps that are form Samsung would that effect in anyway the phone?

I use an older application I purchased a while on an older phone that needed more memory expansion for app data. Link2SD pro did that plus had the scheduler so I still use it for that rather than buying another task manager. Couldn't tell which to use or if there are better or free ones.
The L Speed Mod can be found here

Malware/Adware???

I'm not entirely sure if this is the right section to post this but I'm having something weird happen when I am charging my Nexus 5x.

It doesn't have any identifying information so I don't know what's causing this. I've try a few adware/malware apps that aren't telling me anything.
Can anyone help?

This is what I see when I press the setting icon

Have you installed any apps recently? I'd start there. It probably asked for some permissions, such as notification access, so if you see anything unusual in there that could be it.

I need to try delete more apps...

Its your keyboard-app. I bet you are using TouchPal.
It was the same for me. Touchpal is one of the greatest keyboard-apps IMHO, but lately they changed in the wrong direction with unwanted ads like 'Daily Summary' or 'Charging Lock Screen' or 'AppLock'.
I uninstalled it because of that.

Or the ES File Explorer app that recently admitted to presenting Ads in the lock screen.

This is exactly what it is. You can disable this from within this app.

Also, of rooted, use AdAway.

You must have photo editor pro installed. I had the same issue and read up on it and someone mentioned that they isolated the cause and uninstalled that app and it got rid of that adware lock screen.
It worked for me. Try it.

There was an article at AP a week ago about that

There is a link to a spreadsheet in the article that contains list of apps that add this adware to your lockscreen without asking...

I liked that app and it really sucks t nuts that I had to uninstall it.
If I remember correctly, there was an option to simply turn off that lock screen adware, right?
But mainly, who kept the app(s) causing this issue? It'd be nice to know if anyone did and if this was a serious issue (which I doubt) or should i have read this entire thread plus the article before posting this?

Try Snapseed, Google acquired it because it was considered the best free photo editing app.
No point using an app that has that lock screen adware. They deserve to be removed from the Play Store for violating the rules of displaying ads outside of their own app.

Didn't Adobe make Lightroom free on Android?

Not receiving notifcations/Receiving them late - Note 10+/Exynos

Hey guys.
I have been using this phone for a number of days, and it seems like ever since I activated a battery saving option which I can't seem to single out, I stopped receiving notification when the phone is locked and/or I'm receiving them with a delay. receiving
I'm also having a problem with things that requires the phone to have an active data/wi-f- connection when locked, like WhatsApp Web or Google photos backup.
There is no data/wi-fi saving or limiting option enabled. I specifically added gmail, whatsapp and other app that I wish to receive lock notifications from to the "Not optimized" list.
I'm attaching my battery settings screenshots for reference.

This issue is old for like 2 years now.
Happening in my note 8, 9 and now 10.
Not a single solution that will work.

I'm having the same problem. Never had it before

Follow these steps! I found my Zedge app that controls my custom notifications in the 'Sleeping Apps' container. Once I removed the app, all my notifications started working again.

I have Zedge installed but I didn't give it notification access. Your link is wrong :silly:

I had a similar issue with delayed notifications on my S10+ and turning off Adaptive battery helped. You can also try that and pls do post back if it helps. Thanks.

Having the same issues here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10+/help/apps-updating-phone-t3962558

It looks like disabling Adaptive Battery helped a bit, but it is still not perfect. In addition, I don't understand why adding the specific apps to the "Not Optimized" list does not affect anything.

Sorry about that errant link to Fantasy Football.
Here is the link to follow to remove Apps that Adaptive Battery settings put in 'jail' so they won't ever run in the background.
Promise its not Fantasy Football but steps to help fix notifications/slowness

I don't think it's anything to do with adaptive battery.
If you go into the developer menu and down to the bottom there is an option standby apps. Once in there you'll see apps listed, if they're set to ACTIVE they are allowed to do what they like. Even with full battery optimisation set Gmail is always ACTIVE and is still having issues. I think it's actually an issue with the phone going into some kind of standby mode. Sometimes it does and therefore notifications are off and sometimes it doesn't and everything is fine.

I tried everything mentioned here and it seems to work for about one day and then the delay was back (especially in WhatsApp).

Further to this, it doesn't seem to be an issue when the device is charging so presumably thats keeping something alive.

This thread has been inactive for weeks but I think this problem still exists. A Google search for "lockscreen notification delay" brings up a number of reports from various Samsung, Oneplus and other Android users - but still no single solution.
For a while I did not even think I had the problem because it does not appear unless your phone is inactive for about 10-15 minutes.
The problem appears to have something to do with changes to Optimize Battery Settings not sticking.
I found a workaround but it has to be done everytime the phone is rebooted.
- Under Optimize Battery Usage make sure that Whatsapp,Gmail or whatever notification app is being delayed is NOT Optimized
- Use the ADB command "adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable". This has to be done from a computer with the phone connected to it. Or if you have root you can run it directly from the phone using Terminal Emulator.
Somebody from the Oneplus forums has also created a Magisk Module that appears to work on Samsung phones. You can find it in post #65 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/guide-notification-fix-100-t3865551/page7
Is this the only way to fix this or has somebody found a better way?

At first, when I downloaded, installed, put the accounts, and all pertinent stuff, I observed this problem, no mails and no whatsapps until waking the device, or worst, had to enter the apps, but, I found the above solutions/steps, and, everything is working fine since Sept 13th, no delays, all working fine, even battery life is really good

I've got the issue only when activating moderate power save.
I set none app in the optimise wishlist.

The moderate power save also caused issues with late notifications on my device. I've only turned it on to test it but even after putting back to optimised and/or high mode did not rectify the issue. Somehow, few days later, I've managed to correct it but I've done so many changes that I've no idea how or what fixed it.

I had this issue on my S10 + to particularly with whatsapp! Messages would come in delayed or i just wouldnt get the notification for some reason! I never figured it out unfortunately but thankfully it seems to be ok on my note 10 + which is strange because i literally have this device set up EXACTLY the same as my S10 + in terms of settings etc ! If i remember correctly however, My S10+ didnt have this issue at the beginning!
