Disable TalkBack.
Are you saying that it tells you (via voice) or shows the key letter popup on the screen?

sorry, 2 post above, I stated I never touched talkback, when light flow was installed i checked the talkback it was disabled, and it says it disabled, and I have reset the phone completely and checked the talkback and said it was still disabled and still does it

ok heres a goofy problem, just for the heck of it, talkback was disabled already still did it, so I disabled light flow and it stop doing it, once I enable light flow it starts doing again, I have had plenty of android phones, S4,S3 and other high end phones and always enabled light flow have never had this problem

With LightFlow enabled, enable TalkBack, reboot and then disable it.

yeah, i just tried that, once it rebooted, i disabled talk back and still does the same thing, could it be setting in lightflow?
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

Turned off application - please help

Hi,
I disabled the Samsung WatchOn app (while i had problems to use it) i figure out that there is no way to uninstall it (its a samsung one) anyhow i disabled it.
currently i cannot turn it on as the button shows "Turn off" and it is disabled.
I've tried to restart the tablet and nothing.
How to make this button enabled again? (should appear as 'Turn On')
Or (its better) to uninstall it?
Of course the access its through Application manager
Thanks in advance to all replies

Have you tried going to Samsung app store or Google play to see if an update is available?
Yes - there is an update BUT it is disabled due the reason that my device isn't compatible....
Strange

Silly Question

But how can I turn off the pedometer?

not exactly "disabling" it, but you can pause it
open up s-health, go to the pedometer section, hit the settings button "pause pedometer"
if you happen to have a device (watch/band/etc) that can count steps, i would think you can use the "Switch device" option at that same menu and select that device, then just never sync it.. that _should_ effectively turn off the pedometer on the phone *shrugs*
Thanks alot

Help with "Screen Overlay" settings not allowing me to run some apps.

I had a problem with Waze...so I uninstalled and then reinstalled it. When I open it up....it does the normal "Allow Waze to access this device's location?" So I select ALLOW and then I get this "Screen overlay detected" prompt. Says I have to first turn off the screen overlay from Settings> Apps OPEN SETTINGS ....so I hit the open settings and then it goes to the Draw over the other apps "Enabled list" of apps. I then scroll down to waze and it is already set to No...or off. I tap on Waze and then the draw over setting shows the toggle set to off....and also grayed out.
This happens with several apps......I have never had to deal with this "Draw over other apps" setting on any android device I have had yet to date. I had been using the Nexus 6 prior to the G4 and never had this problem with Overlay settings or the draw over apps thing. So I am perplexed at this....is this something that has come about more from Marshmallow?
Any help with getting some of my apps to get past this to start would be very appreciative...thanks!
bump....
Same problem here with a G3
I'm having the exact same issue with Waze on a G3.
I guess you have an app that is using overlays, like Lux Lite or the likes to setup brightness or color. Give that app the permission and your troubles should be over.

I've got the same problem. But I've set it to allow Twilight permission, and is still doing that endless loop with the greyed-out bit mentioned above.
I got it to work by turning overlay OFF for Twilight.. but then Twilight doesn't work. Why is this app even checking for overlays? Waze gets to be uninstalled for this treason.
So frustrated
I don't use Waze, but this same issue has rendered my G4 a nuisance rather than a useful tool. For example, I cannot add nor edit contacts because my contact list doesn't have permission to access my calendar (which shouldn't matter), but I cannot grant that permission because of screen overlay. I can't add anything to my calendar from my phone because of screen overlay. Custom ringtone... nope. Screen overlay. Essentially anything that involved editing, adding, or deleting of any kind is verboten because of this screen overlay nonsense.
I have tried turning off screen overlay to all apps that will allow me to, but some are grayed out and unable to be changed but they appear to be off. I can't even imagine what app I have installed that would use it so I can target it specifically and uninstall it altogether. Is there a fix for this other than turning it off for all apps? Maybe an app or bit of code that suppresses it?
Thank you in advance.

Note 20 Ultra and Samsung Dex weird issue

So I've been having this weird issue when I connect my Note 20 Ultra to Samsung Dex pad, the "Dance" ringtone starts playing, no apps are open, it's not even a ringtone I've selected for any of my apps, the only to stop it is to turn my phone off and then back on again.
Any ideas?

I found the issue, it was a setting in the Desktop hub app, "HDMI audio on startup" was enabled, once I turned it off, it stopped happening.
